SturOiSS on LEGISLATION.

Hon. George G.. Sturgiss, in a let
ter TO the Wheeling News, makes
some suggestions for legislation at
the present session. There is no
doubt but what there is a decidedly
growing sentiment among the people
FOR legislation on the lines proposed i,
especially i'll respect to a registration
law and more perfect primary and
election law. Following are Mr..
Sturgiss's suggestions as to needed
legislation:
"a fair registration law, a more
perfect primary and general election
law that will reduce the temptations
to spend large sums of money in
securing nominations and carrying
elections, the abolition Of the free
pass, especially as to all State and
county officers, and a just system to
regulate charges of railways and to
compel absolute impartiality in their
dealings with shippers and travellers
In car service and in their relations
with all connecting lines, as well as
tax on gross income, and the
license tax or it's equivalent, on the
production of coal, oil and gas,
should command the careful con
sideration of the legislature and be
enacted.
''These constitute large Program
and Will tax the wisdom of the
Legislature, but the people will
be satisfied with nothing less.
aud | hope will have your support"

Handsomely Remembered AGAIN.

to her singularly. Her thoughtful
Senerosities have blessed perhaps as
many varieties of human want and
ministered encouragement to As
many sorts of people as any other
steward of the manifold goodness of
God; but there is grace. dignity
and wisdom about her care for the
sightless that obliges one to think
that they are often and prayerfully
upon her heart. Only n year ago
she placed In the hands of all our
pupils the neat little appliance 10y
which they are able to write in the
same tangible characters that are
used in printing their books. This

ODD TRAIT OF MANKIND.
Human Nature Ever Prone to Get Some
thing for Nothing.


Human nature may be more produc-
lively worked than a gold mine if you
know a right method.
General Manager Chapman of the In
dianapolis and Eastern Electric railway
recently utilized his knowledge Of human
nature in q novel way.
His company had a park, the soil Of
which it wanted to plow up and pulver-
lie thoroughly at small cost, at the same
time attracting some traffic to the park.
1t therefore buried $500 in gold coin in
various parts of the park and threw the
place open to any patron of the street
cars that wished to dig, prescribing only
that none but small hand implements
should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The cars,
were thronged with amateur miners and
by the time all the coin was found the
entire surface of the park had been loos-
ened up and reduced to powder to an
extent that no landscape gardener ever
saw equaled. The street car company
got its $500 back in fares and at the
same time got its park thoroughly plowed
for nothing. Many will tenderly recall
the old school reader story of the dying
side and informed them that though
the old farm he was about to leave them
was worn out and had become unproduc-
tive, there was buried somewhere upon
It great treasure, and if they would
persistently dig for it they would surely
find rich reward. The sons digged and
digged and digged, turning the old farm
upside down and inside out, and though
they found no sign of the gold they ex-
pected, their harvests of grain became
enormous and their reward was richer
than they knew.
Through some popularity in our con-
struction we are willing to work ten
nothing" as to earn it in ordinary ways.
