pair of you: but Wulf most warrior
like. and Sir Goodwin most courtly.
Nov which do you think would

That, sir. depends upon the woman,
answered Goodwin. And straightway
his eyes began to dream.
That. sir, we seek to learn before

'Ah. well: it is a very pretty riddle.
But do not envy her who has its an

then, that should forbid them to ask

SENATOR ELKINS'
CAME PRESERVE

Daniel r. Baker, of Beverly, has
sold to Senator Elkins tract of
5000 acres of land lying on stream
called Little Black Fork, tributary
of Shaver's Fork of Cheat river. The
land is about six miles east of Elk
ms. Little Black fork flows through
the land distance of three miles.
and is a typical mountain stream
,vcept that its water is of a darker
color than is usual with mountain
streams.
Senator Elllins bought the land
for the purpose of converting it into
a fish and game preserve. The
stream will, e stocked width fish, and
with the protection that it viii have
the fish should thrive in the creek.
which is an ideal place It is prob
able that trout only viii be placed
in the stream although no announce
ment has been made concerning the
matter.
Senator EIEins will build club
house on the land and fit it for the
entertainment of visitors. The
woods remain in their natural state
and pheasants, quail, turkeys, and
perhaps large game will flourish.
There are few game preserves in
West Virginia, but not many, until
recently the forests wore filed with
game and the streams with fish, and
there was little necessity for pri-
vate hunting grounds.

GATES CONCERT
WAS A SUCCESS

The Lulu Tyler Gates Company
appeared at the opera house here last
evening in the Epworth League
course and though the conditions
under which they appeared were suf-
ficiently chilling" to have discour-
aged and disheartened less com
petent corps of performers, they did
their work well and elected the APP
probation of the audience. To be-
gin with, owing to repairs on the
building, the opera house was so cold
that the concert company and the
audience both suffered great discom-
fort, fact in itself sufficient to de-
tract from the pleasure of the oc-
casion. In the second place, Mr..
Ball, the baritone singer, who ranks
next to Mrs. Gates in Importance in
the company. and whose singing
is considered by some to be 5the
strongest part of the Ryogram, was
sick at the Waldo hotel and could
not appear. W
But, notwithstanding these draw
backs, the entertainment was sue
cess. Mrs Gates ability as a,Eeader
had been we'll advertised to our peo-
pie but none too well, for she cannot
be surpassed. Those familiar with
the %ald time darkey," now. fast dis
appearing, feel that her negro, dialect
reading was the strongest. while
Others stress her heavier work par
ticularIy EeThe Two GrenadieTs,
Still Others were so charmed with
her humorous wedding scene, as to-
rank her humor highest.
Miss Hjerstedt, though very mucl
indisposed from cold contracted
the day before, played her violin So
acceptably that none. of the audience
suspected that she was not in best Of
condition, for she is an artist, in her
line.
Miss Gilmore's piano solos, as we'll
as her accomplishments, were render
ed so faultlessly and entertainingly
as to challenge admiration.

TIERS UPON
Priv TE PROPERTY
And GETS INTO TROUBL E

The American Telephone Com
pany and citizens have controversy
on that will doubtless be bitterly
fought and the courts have already
been applied to to settle it.
The company is erecting a line
from Cumberland to Parkersburg
and going east its construction men
have reached Bridgeport, passing
Clarksburg outside of the city limits
and across Broad Oaks and on the.
pike to Bridgeport, the county court
having granted it a franchise to use
the county roads for the purpose.
Upon the arrival of the construc-
tion gang at Bridgeport, they enter
ed upon the premises of several citi-
zens and began to erect poles IN the
Yards to their homes and to cut and
deface and dfsfigurc shade and other
trees, besides to other injury to pri-
vate property.
The town council of Bridgeport
has granted the company fran
chise to use the streets of the town.
but this franchise does not give au-
thority to use private property
The company proceeded to con-
vert the property of several of the
residents to its own use without even
the slightest authority instead of us
ing the public streets at several
points, notwithstanding the protests
of the owners, and the latter then re-
sorted to the courts. Warrants have
been issued and injunctfons viii
be applied for at once. The war
rants viii be for the purpose of
criminal prosecutions and the in
functions to restrain the company
and its employees from using private
properly without authority and to
obtain damages.
Among those whose properties
have been entered upon by the COM
spaiy are John Dunkin, A. J. Lodge.
AID. Fitzbugh and Messrs Warner
and G. b. Late.

.C0UNTY's ROADS
INQUIRED ABOUT

The good roads agitation is
spreading widely and is becoming of
such moment that the national and
state governments have taken up the
subject in earnest. For some time
the national government has made
inquiries on the matter in this coun-
tv of the county clerk and now the
clerk is in receipt of a letter from
Governor w. NJ. O. Dawson asking
for information concerning the roads
in the county and the general road
situation. This information will be
furnished by Clerk Charles F. Hold
en- and he will also enter into cor
respondence with Representatives OF
the national government. There IS
every reason to believe that strong
efforts will be made within the near
future to inaugurate a system !, OF
road building in this state that viii
prove effective in giving the people
far better highways

BIRTH DAYS come
ONCE A WEEK

Mr. Writ Lewis was given AIDE
lightful surprise supper party last
evening, the occasion being &ais one
hundred and twenty-ninth birthday.
The dinner was served at 6:3o to
six very hungry gentlemen, and they
certainly did eat. And right here
it is to be stated most emphatically
that Mrs. Lewis is the best cook in
this or any other city. Any one
who disputes this will have to settle
with six big husky turkey fed men:
AS delicate compliment each of
the gentlemen were presented with
a miniature lobster, as-a souvenir OF
the occasion. The list of delicacies
is beyond any mans description, and
there wasn't any left. If you wish
to find out you will have to see Mrs.
Lewis.
Among those present, as they say
in society, were Messrs. Campbell,
Brown, Bentley, Lyle Smith and a
hungry reporter. These gentlemen
have made arrangements with Mrs,
Lewis to celebrate Mr.. Lewis birth
dav about oncea week, and they have
ali applied for an invitation for the
celebration of the one hundred and
thirtieth birthday.
