1 Tom Dorgan, with rage in his heart and death in his hand, leaping on that 1 cripples body-it made me sick! ] I stood there gasping-stood mo- ment too long For the curtains were pushed aside and Burnett, Latimer's servant, and the cop came in. { Tom didn't fight; he's no fool to waste himself.
 But I-well, never mind about me. ! I caught glimpse of crazy white face on a boys body in the great glass l opposite and heard my own voice i break into something I'd never heard | before.
 1 Tom stood at last with the hand | cuffs on.
 Its your own fault. you damned little chump" he said to me, as they went out
 You lie Mag Monahan. he's no such thing! He may be hard man to live with. but he's mine-my Tommy Tom!
 l What? Latimer? We'll. do you know, it's funny about | him. He'd told the cop that I'd peached-peached on Tom! So they went off without me. | Why?
 That's what he said himself when we were alone
 "In order to insure for myself an- other of your most interesting visits, l suppose, Miss-not Omar? All right. Tell me, can I do nothing for ] you? Aren't you sick of this sort of life?"N | Get Tom out of jail"
 He shook his head.
 "I'm too good friend of yours to do you such a turn"
 "I don't want any friend that isn't Toms"
 He threw the pistol from him and pulled himself up, till he sat looking at me.
 "In heavens name. what can you see | in a fellow like that?"
 What's that to you?" turned to go.
 "To me? Things of that sort are nothing, of course, to meme, that luckless Pot He marr'd in making But. tell me-can a girl like you tell the truth? What made you hesitate when that fellow told you with his eyes to murder me-"
 How did you know"
 Frl, der. could watch every expression on both your faces. What was it. what was it. child, that made you oh, if you owe me single heartbeat of gratitude. tell me the truth!"
 You've said it yourself" What"
 That line we read the other night about the luckless Pot .--
 His face went gray and he fell back on his pillows The strenuous life we'd been leading him. Tom and l., was too much for him. I guess.
 Do you know, I really felt sorry I'd said it. But he is cripple. Did he expect me to say he was big and strong and dashing-like Tom?

 Being member of the senate com mittee on foreign relations, the sen- ator in his sojourn abroad manifested natural interest in the attitude of European powers toward the United States. He found everywhere in Great Britain and in France evidence of . particularly cordial feeling both in onl- cial circles and among the people for America and that President Roosevelt is held by Europeans in general in high regard.
 The hope. Senator Lodge said. was expressed everywhere that the negotia- tions initiated by the president for peace in the far east would be success ful, but he noted that the feeling that peace would be the outcome of the present Washington conference was not optimistic.
 President Roosevelt and his family attended morning services as usual at Christ Episcopal church. He received no visitors during the day.

DEMOCRATIC GOV
ERNORStOF OHIO
THE STATE HAS HAD FIVE OF
THAT FAITH SINCE THE
- 81; CIVIL WAR. -

There have been numerous in.
quiries regarding the number OF
Democratic governors. Ohio has
chosen since the civil war. Governor.
elect John M. Pattison is the fifth
Democratic governor Ohio has chosen
since that time, says the Wheeling
Register. In the interval from the
ending of the war until 1873 Demo.
Gratis were unsuccessful in every guber-
Material contest, but in that year the
Democrats were successful and elect.
ed William Allen governor. The
other three were r. NJ. Bishop.siein
1877; George B. Hoardley, in 1888.
and James E. Campbell, in 1889.
Allen had the closest call in land
ing the Office and he was electedg by
only plurality of SIT. This was
the smallest margin ever received by
any governor even in the early his.
tory of the State. Bishop was elect
ed by s2,570, Hoardley by 1889 and
Campbell by 1882.
On the face of the figures and facts
furnished by the election 1t is appa.
rent that the Overwhelming defeat of
Herrick and the Republican party
was not only caused by his opposi.
ton to the Brannock law, but by a
combination of conditions that has
existed in the State for three years.
The new code governing municipali-
ties was factor that helped to defeat
the Republicans. This is borne out
by the fact that the legislature is
Democratic. The new code has been
unpopular from the very day 1t be-
came effective for the reason that 1t
created more officials, and this made
1t necessary to increase the burden
of the taxpayer by increasing the
taxes.
In many cities the increase was
from 80 to so cents more on the hun.
dred dollars than that paid prior to
the time the code became effec-
tive.
A little later the school code was
changed. Both codes have been look
ed upon with disfavor. The school
code is the most fearful piece Of leg
islative work ever constructed. In
one section 1t provides for continu-
ing the schools during period of
seven months. In another 1t states
the school year shall consist Of eight
months. 1t failed to repeal the old
laws and the best attorneys Of the
State are COMPOUNDED as to its
meaning. Defects are SO numerous
in the school code that the Supreme
Court has declared number OF the
sections invalid.

ing, hoping and trusting they shall
be blessed in making your work more
efficient; result in your pupils being
more thoroughly furnished with the
best weapon totmeet and overcome
temptation, Gods word.
The aim of Bible school, as we un.
derstand 1t, is to have its members:
l. To Snow Gods Book as fully as
possible. II. TO know themselves.
III. To know Gods purpose towards
hem. w. How to bring themselves
and Gods purpose in unison. In Or

related parts, Sd. in its relation to
the pupil. He should also know, (a) +.
the pupil in relation to his mental
characteristics, OBJ. his home, (c),
companions, (d). reading, (e), aspira-
liens.
To help you reach in greater Je-
gree this ideal. we shall from time to
time send. out through the columns
of the newspapers of the county,
lists of questions, the correct an
swers we believe will give you the
knowledge to more readily secure
the end and aim of your teaching.
Before submitting these lists, we
desire to say that we do; not claim
for them entire originality. They are
more properly compilations of
thoughts and ideas that we gathered
here and there. Many of them from
books on Teachers Training for the
public school, others from our own
experience and observation.
We make this statement to save
burdening our articles with lists of
authors and quotation MARKS.

Prices since the opening sustained ma.
terial declines, ranging from one to
S1a per cent. in number of the active
issues. with greater declines in some
of the specialties. The market was
strong of tie lower level of prices
and the pressure of stocks, and 1t was
general comment, that there was s
good demand for the leading issues
under the market, There is good
deal of discussion in regard to what
might be called the gold import point.
II Is claimed by some large handlers
of money that, with the break in ex.
change today. sterling is very close
now to the point at which gold can be
imported in connection with the high
rates for money.
The usual stories were also current,
as in every decline of some large

1t is absolute that there is no indica.

on the part OF pool brokers, or repre-

THE COMING CONTEST.

=
Some ribald Republican papers are
inclined to twit the Gazette because
Of the failure Of the people of Mary
land to adopt the Poe DISTINGUISHING
amendment. Let them not get too
gay The verdict in Maryland is not
an expression of the will of the peo-
plesof West Virginia, by any means.
Next,year negro Acknowledgement will
be made an issue in this State, and
the people will be called upon to de.
eide 1t, which they will do without
regard to what Maryland has done.
OF course there can be no vote upon
an amendment providing for restrict
ing the FRANCHISE, but the issue will be
of the legislature the people will vote
fc- those who will support restrictive
measures with respect to the fran.
chise, and a jimcrow car law, or those
who will oppose such propositions.
This issue is not of the Gazette's
making. 1t has simply followed in the
wake of the demand of the people.
But 1t is matter in which the Ga
zette is deeply interested, believing as
it does that the highest good Of both
races. and the perpetuity of the in
tegrity of the government, will be
subserved by the enactment of such
measures. The contest is an irrepres.
sible one, and must inevitably be
fought Charleston Gazette.
The negro vote of West Virginia
composes about three per cent. of the
entire vote of the State. 1t is GER
tainiy paying a high compliment to
this three per cent. to say that there
is danger of its overpowering the re.
naming ninety-seven per cent. Such
rot is really silly and could scarcely
emanate from any other than the
baldheaded source 1t does. It is well
known fact that Democrats in this
State as elsewhere have been trying
for years and years to wean the negro
away from the Republican party.
They tell him that Republicans give
him no consideration; that they are
no better friends to him than are the
Democrats; that all Republicans want
Of him is to vote the Republican tick
ct. With these lying statements on
their lips they go to the colorei voter
and offer him money for his vote.
For forty years this sort of thing has
been going on. Republicans every.
where would gladly welcome negro
dlsfranchisement and the jimcrow
car as an issue. The negro would
then see as he can in no other way
how he is despised by the palefaced
liars who have been counting him so
long and in many instances have won
him to the Democratic ranks. As the
three per cent. negro voting popula-
tion OF West Virginia amounts to
something like 10000. the placing Of
that number in the Republican col.
umn at once and forever without the
use Of money. could be considered
none other than a strong piece of
luck for the Republicans Of West viz
ginia.
