THE GIRL OF THE WEST.
(By James Barton Adams.)

(By James Barton Adams.)
She's witty, she's pretty, she's natty.
she's nice,
She's a pearl of perfection away be-
yond price;
In her eyes, ever sparkling, the love-
wrinkles nest
The earth cannot equal the girl of
the West.
In danger she's fearless, in owe she
is warm,
She lacks not one beautiful maidenly
charm;
She's sober in sentiment, jolly in
jest
No flies ever camp on the girl of the
West.
She shines when attired in an up-to-
date gown.
Be her home on the ranch or in bu-
sier town;
In parlor or kitchen with infinite zest
She tackles her duties-this girl of
the West.
She's the sort of a sweetheart the
boys owe to woo,-
wise as an owl, in sincerity
true,
In wedlock the pride of the coy
home nest
A songbird of joy is the girl of the
West.
Out in the home kitchen, with peer
less arms bare,
Assisting her mother in housekeep-
ing care,
Or in the best room entertaining a
guest,
She is always a Princess, the girl of
the West.
Then here's to the maid of the noun
tain and plain,
As queen of our hearts we rejoice in
her reign;
She'll not be improved on till called
to her rest,
And fitted with pinions. the girl of
the West.

Determine Fate of Russia.
St. Petersburg. Dec. 21.@The first
guns in the battle which may deter

pertinent with moderate constitution
alism and introduce either reaction
or complete revolution, were fired
yesterday at Moscow, where a gen.
eral strike was successfully launch
ed. The leaders of the movement of
the proletariat last night were max
ing their last preparations here for
the general engagement which will
be OF at 100 today. The leaders pro-
fess to be greatly encouraged at the
news from Moscow and other dis
tricts, and declare there is no ques-
ton that the tie-up will be complete.
The workmen's council last night is

that the government had cast to he

manifesto of October 80, and was
now basing itself on reaction, trick

ment yesterday. The Inhabitants were
scurrying about, buying supplies, can
dies, etc The stores were closed and
boarded up last night, and MOSCOW
was in darkness. The strike leaders
in Moscow are boasting that the
strike will be transformed into armed
revolution, orators at meetings de-
claring that Russia will be drenched
in blood before the long struggle
ends.
At noon today the continental train
left Warsaw station with military en-
soldiers. The tender and locomotive
were old, the strikers having render

AGED SUICIDE
NOT KNOWN HERE

Word has reached here from
Corning. town in Iowa, to the Ell
feet that man named FlenneSlIl,
who claimed to be from Shinnston,
Va. had committed suicide there
and as there is no town in Nir-
ginia by the name it was thought
that the suicide was possibly from
Shinnston. Word was sent back
that FlennelSin was strange name
in these parts, and a little later
photograph was sent TO Postmaster
Knox accompanied by newspaper
clipping giving an account OF the
mans death. IRhe picture resem-
bled That of a former citizen Of
Shinnston. but he is known to still
he among the living. The picture
shows the unfortunate to be q man
of about 70 years Of age. He had
written letter to lady friend at
Cedar Vale, Virginia, stating that
he was enroute to LittiG Rock, Ark,
and becoming i'll Of heart trouble,
had stopped off there to rest until he
was able To continue his journey
He never mailed the letter. The.
newspaper clipping expresses the be-
lief that the letter was a burlesque
and that the old man was guilty OF
some crime for which he feared pun
;sllinent and decided to take his life
He died of an overdose of opium
evidently taken with suicidal intent.
