their failure pronounced it incura,

| The whole community was
shocked on Monday evening when
1.-THE news came that Mr.. Josephus
Clark, for many years one OF our
leading merchants and business
men, had died in Wheeling where
sudden illness had taken him but
a week before. For several
years he had been gradually fall
ing, but his death at this time
came as a surprise, both to his
relatives and friends. His body
was brought home on the morning
train Tuesday, and he was laid
to rest in Williams cemetery
Thursday, June 10Th.
Josephus Clark was one of New
Martinsville's pioneers. He was
born in Marshall county, March
12, 1885, the family having origi-
nally come from Pennsylvania.
When he was a small child they
moved to the old Clark homestead
On Clark Ridge, near Fanlight P.
O., in this county. His father was
Ebenezer Clark, who was so long
and prominently identified with
the interests of this county, hav-
ing assisted in the formation of
Wetzel county and having served
her people well and faithfully
both as public official and private
citizen; and his mother was Har-
riet Anderson Clark.
When scarcely more than boy
Josephus Clark was elected Sher-
iff Of the county, and at once came
to New Martinsville, where he
has since resided. He was twice
reelected, being the last sheriff
under the sovereignty of Virginia
and the first elected after the
New Dominion came into being.
At the expiration of his last term
it was his intention to permanent
ly retire from politics, but he was
compelled to become his party's
candidate for Supervisor (now
member of County Court in Mag
nolia district and was triumph
antly elected. although the dis
trict belonged by considerable
margin, to the opposing party.
In June, 1866, he established
his store, which, for thirty-nine
years, has continued to be a lead
ing mercantile establishment of
the town, and county. Recently
he inclosed the Clark Block in
brick, made it three stories, with
a brick addition to the south,
making the greatest improvement
in the appearance of our town
since the building of the new
Court House.

JOSEpHUS CLARK
A Prominent Business Man and Public Spirited
Citizen Passes Away.

Mr.. Clark was also farmer all
his life and an extensive dealer
| in real estate. One of his nota-
BILE achievements along this line
was the purchase and redemption
from a condition of swamp and
wilderness of the Cox farm, south
| of Brooklyn. First among Wetzel
county land owners he realized
what a proper system of drainage
will accomplish along the Ohio
river bottoms. Miles of tiling
were laid under his personal
supervision and direction. Own
| ing real estate within the corpor-
ate limits of both New Martins
vile and Brooklyn he has ever
been willing to sell at reasonable
prices, thereby largely promoting
the growth and prosperity of
both towns. He laid off Clark s
Addition to Brooklyn and Clark s
First and Second Addition to New
Martinsville.
Josephus Clark and Lima Rus
sell Cox, daughter of Friend Cox,
were united in marriage in 1865
His wife and five children sur
vive him, as follows: Frank Wells
Clark, lawyer, Josephus B. Clark,
of New Martinsville Bank, Mrs.
George P. Umstead and Miss Ella
Cox Clark, of New Martinsville,
and DR.. Friend E. Clark, Chemist,
now a member of faculty of Pen
nsylvania State College. He was
a firm believer in education and
gave his children every advan-
tage along this line.
Mr.. Clark was, almost all his
life a member and active worker
in the NJ. E. Church, South. For
not less than thirty-fve years con-
tinuously he has been a Superin-
tendant of a Methodist Sunday
School in this town. He was free
Mason, becoming a member of
Wetzel Lodge in 1869. Though
retired from politics at an early
age, he always took a keen interest
in political movements and dis
cussions and was a life long Dem
oerat. casting his first vote for
James Buchanan and his last for
Alton B. Parker. Among men
recently prominent in National
politics he especially admired
William J. Bryan.
A consistent Christian, an hon
est and upright man, his memory
is a precious legacy for all who
knew him. more especially for the
wife and children whom he cared
for so faithfully and loved so we'll.
May he rest in peace.-Wetzel
Democrat.

The Main Point.

It so happened that man from New Orleans recently found himself in far northern city where the alleged coffee closely resembled warm spring water.
 "How much I should enjoy," he re- marked to his vis-a-vis after the des- sert at dinner, "a good cup of cafe noir!'
 The attentive waiter, letting slip no opportunity to uphold the honor of his city, remarked:
 "'Noir' means black, doesn't it, sir? Well, we can give it to you black if you wish it."
 "Ah, but my friend" replied the traveller from New Orleans, you for get that cafe means coffee!-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

A Delphtc Utterance.

AS capable of varied interpretation as the utterances of the ancient oracles was the speech made by a Swiss mountaineer who accompanied the Stutfield and Collie exploring expedi- tion through the Canadian Rockies.
 They found it necessary to ford Bear creek, and Hans did not enjoy it, al- though he faced it with exemplary fortitude. Once safely across, he turned and surveyed the stream gravely.
 Several times you cross it," he said, enigmatically, "but yet once is the last time."

To Refresh Flowers.

To refresh withered flowers which have been packed or carried some dis tance is not always easy. The follow ing plan has been found satisfactory: Plunge the stalks into very hot water and allow them to stand till the water is cold. Then cut off the ends of the stalks and arrange the flowers in cold water, in which tablespoonful of salt has been added. Thus treated, flow CTS will last wonderfully in vases.

The car was just getting under way, says a writer in the New York Sun, site sides of the street to greet each other, met right in the middle of the car track and in front of the car.
 There the women stopped and began to talk. The car stopped, too, but they did not appear to realize that it was there. Some of the passengers on the front seat began to make sarcastic re- marks. Then the motor man showed that he possessed the saving grace of humor. Leaning over the dashboard, he said, gently:
 Ladies, would you like to have me get you couple of chairs?"

 I'm sorry for the woman whose standards, social or physical, do not permit her to handle hoe. It seems to me as graceful an instrument as a golf club. An hours exercise along tidy garden row will produce the finest kind of glow, and, withal, you get so much more done with hoe!

If the neighbors are scan- dalized because I turn the baby loose in the shade on the grass and push the wheel hoe instead of the perambulator 1t is their lookout. Perhaps, now, they are dying to dig and have not quite dared for fear of my scathing criti- cism! Let them know the worst. purpose to dig, to rake, to SOW, to weed, to hoe, and to harvest for the sake of what get out of it in mental growth, flowers, exercise, aesthetic uplift, and vegetables. 1 shall take my turn, too, with the bicycle, the tennis racket, and the golf clubs; but next to the go-cart the wheel hoe is my favorite vehicle!-Success Magazine.

The Difference.

There is a good story told of Sir Chieh-Chen To Feng-luh, who was for merly Chinese minister to England. Years ago he was secretary to u Hung Chang. He is very able man, and among other accomplishments speaks and writes English perfectly The story is given in "The Navy as I Have Known It."
 u Hung Chang is reported to have said to him, q don't know how it is we send our men to Europe and Amer ica, and have foreign instructors in our colleges, as do the Japanese, but we do not seem to derive the advan- tage from their instruction which the Japanese do."
 To this ChiehC Chen Lo Feng-luh re- piled:

In ITO, when Brazilian stones were poured on the market, first quality diamonds sold as low as $5 a karat, and in 1790 they had increased to $50, and remained about this figure until 1S4S, when from $15 to $20 a karat was asked. From 1860 on the price of diamonds ad- vanced, and, with the worlds diamond mines practically in the control of one company during the last ten years, the price has steadily increased until the present time, when first water dia- monds are quoted at $140 karat or more.

HOW A DIAMOND IS SHAPED.
New Process of Cutting tho Gem Faci1i'
 tatcs the Work.

NeW ITOCcso UL NuttAH& sho oCh uSAh
 tatcs the Work.
 'vThe business of diamond cutting" said a cutter of precious stones to q reporter, 'has changed recently. The old idea of imbedding the stone in melted lead and then allowing the lead to harden, leaving only one facet of the diamond exposed for polishing, is done away with. The whole process Is this:
 We first take the diamond in its rough state. We find in all Brazilian diamonds six sharp points, the stone being in the form of a cube. We first determine the best way to cut the dia- mond by examining it for flaws and reduce the stone to the largest possi- ble perfect size and at the same time cut out all the imperfections or as many of them as possible.
 "The only thing which will cut dia- mond is another diamond, so one dia- mond, imbedded in hard cement, is used to cut the rough stone into a fair ly symmetrical shape for polishing. The table or top part of the diamond is cut, the sides of the diamond down to about two-sevenths of the depth are cut. and then for the remainder of the stone it is tapered off to the small point called the culet. The culet Is supposed to be directly in the center of the table, and by looking into dia- mond it looks as though little hole were cut down the middle.
 "When the diamond has ben cut into this rough shape it is about as black as charcoal. This is caused by the abrasion from the diamond which is used to cut it. Then it is up to the polisher. His work is nearly always the same. Except in the rarest of cases he takes the stone and polishes on it fifty-six facets all told on every stone.
 He uses holder which grasps and locks the diamond securely at any con- venent angle and then he presents the exposed surface to a fast revolving wheel on which is diamond dust and oil. That is his entire work-to put on in regular sequence the fifty-six facets and then to polish to nicety these fifty-six sides and the table and culet. When he completes his job the diamond is ready for the market, i'm pregnable to weather, to acid, to dam age, except as it may be cut by an- other diamond.
 "The invention of the diamond hold CTS with lock clasp has done away with the melted lead as a holder eX. cept in the case of the very smallest stones."

Housewives to Blame.

Miss Anna Barrows, in recent lec- ture at Chautauqua, gives another req son why girls should study domestic science. She says in the matter of pure food it is the ignorance of the consumer rather than the duplicity of the producer that is to blame for the trouble we are having, and hence ad- vises women to study for themselves so they will know when an article is pure.

For Removing . Wrinkle.

Just think of paying $1,000 for hay. ing one wrinkle removed. That's what a well-known New York society leader Las paid, and without doubt there ere many others who would be willing to pay just such an exorbitant price if they had 1t for the same pur- pose.
 Authorities along these lines are de- manding large sums for beautifying women's faces. It is not an easy task and means much suffering for the woman. The injection of paraffin is one of the well-known remedies for this shortcoming. The process is pain ful, the paraffin being injected under heath the skin by hypodermic needle and allowed to remain there, harden and become a part of the membrane tissue, which it does in time.
 It is good remedy. The wrinkle is sure to disappear, and there are more women than one would surmise who are undergoing such treatment.
 Some of the society leaders who have gone west, for a rest, as they say, have in reality secluded them selves for time with doctors of beau ty and upon making their reappear- ance in society are indeed creatures of beauty. Their complexions are beautified, white and pink, without a blemish, and they have regained their good humor and look like young ma irons just entering their second year of married life, instead of contemplat- ing the celebration of their twenty 9th.
