MINISTER ARRESTED.
u ERRYyIILE CLERGYMAN
TAKEN FOR HORSE THIEF.
Chased For "a Distance OF sixty Miles by
the OHicers-The Mistake Is
Quickly Hfghted.

Rev. A. Mcclure, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Front Royal,
Va, was mistaken for horse thief
who stold Liveryman Il. M. Henry's
horse aud buggy in Winchester week
ago, chased more than 60 miles, and
arrested at Rio, w. Va, on Saturday
and held TO await the arrival of the
owner several hours later. The min
lister stously protested his innocence,
but was taken into custody and lock-
ed up in grocery store at Rio. When
the owner of the stolen team reached
Rio the minister was led forth, sur
rounded by thsong of 400 people.
Mr.. Henry at once identified the team
as not his property and Mr.. Mcclure
was given his liberty. He went to Rio
to preach the funeral sermon over the
body of friend, but his incarceration
prevented him from doing so, and the
relatives of the dead man had to send
five miles for another minister. Mr.
Mcclure answered the description of
the man who stole Liverman Henry's
horse and buggy. and was traced from
Winchester through Wardensville and
Romney. A message was sent abe ad,
and at Rio the minister was taken
into custody. Mr.. Mcclure was in
dignant at his arrest, but took the
affair good-naturedly when explain
ations had been made.

Thai Bow Of Yours

I We chaperon our girls and careful.
ly guard them against unworthy
boys, but we leave the boys to choose
for himself his associates and his
achievements. Girls are naturally
winsome, gentle companionabe.
They win their way in homes and
hearts. But the boy, noisy, awk-
ward, mischievious, is invited into few
homes and feels none too much at
home in his own, says au exchange.
About the only door thatswings with
sure welcome to the boy, about the
only chair that is showed near the
fire especially for the boy, about the
only place where he is sure of cordial
greeting, is where he oughtnot to go.
1t is one of the hardest things in this
world to get hold of boy, to get a
sure grip on him. He is hungry for
companionship and he will have it.
You can't chain him away from it.
He wants the compa nionship OF boys.
and nothing will take it's place. If
the rime of selfishness has so incased
your heart that the joys and hopes
OF your boy cannot enter into it, the
boy is to be pitied; but so are you.

New iberia, La,

Dear Sir: There are two sorts OF
furniture. You know both; for
YOU sell 'em both. One sort looks
better than it is, and the other is
better than it looks There isn't
any other sort.
The same, two sorts of paint, no
more; and we make 'em both-we
make tons of stuff that isn't
worth its freight. Belongs to
the business-have to. Belongs
to your business you have to.
But this is aside We put into
cans, with our name on, the very
best paint there is in the world:
Devoe lead and-zinc. 1t takes
fewer gallons than mixed paints,
and it wears twice as long as lead
and oil.
Mr. O. Brown, Columbia, s.
G. painted his house with DevOe
lead and zinc. The painter, on
seeing the quantity sent to the
house, said there wasn't enough.
There were ten gallons left, when
the lob was done. Yours truly,

The many friends here viii rc
gret the miSfm tune of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry q. Pcnick of Charlton,
Iowa: whose beautiful home with
all of it furniture and effects,
clothing and embellishments were
consumed 10y fire last Thursday
morning, the 18th about ; 3o'clock
Fortunately the occupants were
away-spending the day and night
at Mr. Penick'S country viila,a few
miles away from their home The
residence and furniture was value
ed at about $1,000, with insur
ance of $4,000.
The only cause of the contagra-
ton that can be imagined is that
the electric current, or rather the
wires conveying the hight. were
not in good condition, but that
even is a mystery. The connector
was said to be always at a high
heat, but strange to say,th he fuse in
the meter was examined after the
fire, and found intact.
