My friend, in this world it's the
smile that scores oftenest and. not the
scowl. The person whose face is
never lighted by smile and whose
voice is never heard in laughter is a
pretty good man TO pass up. The
man who smiles ON cloudy days as
we'll as bright ones Is the man who
gets the most out of life. There is an
old saying that the mill will never
grind with the water that is past, and
what can't be cured must be endured.
Misfortune may have oYertaken you
in business, or trusted friend turned
traitor-but smile and put away your
frowns and lamentations and go to
bat again. Your turn is bound to
cdme Smile, and your friends will
join you. Scowl, and they will leave
you alone By this we don't mean that
you should smile at all things. We
wouldn't advise you to do it at fun
eral, nor do we think it the proper
thing to do when some fellow has
hauled off and slugged you in the eye.
On such occasions you must use yOul
own judgment. What we mean is
that you should try to emile at the
proper time and grow serious when
necessary. In other words, don't be
a crouch. The smiler, you will find,
is the fellow who generally holds the
winning hand in the game of life.

yellow. The buds and blossoms are
borne on stems that are sometimes
yard in length; and the largest roses
are five inches in diameter. This is a
rose of great substance and of remark
able keeping qualities as a cut+fiOwer.
Madame Lombard deserves more
than a passing notice. Her salmon
pink buds and half-blOwn roses are
eXquisitely beautiful. This rose has
stood the test of time, and has a host
of admirers.
Paul NeyrOn is the largest known
Rose. The thick, velvety petals are
of rose-cOlOr, and appear to have alb
sorbed the blushing tints of rosy dawn.
Place a vase of lOng-stemmed Paul
NeyrOn, while still sparkling in their
dewy freshness, in the centre Of your
breakfast table, and you will drink in
their beauty and inhale their frag-
rance, and your thoughts will be purer
and sweeter; and, who knows? their
influence, their refining power and
their charm may be interviewer with
your thoughts all day long.
The Duchess surely belongs to the
Royal family, and so captivating and
coquettish is her charms that she has
many loyal subjects. Her sea-shell
pink petals, bordered with carmine,
are dainty. This rose is unique in
form, unsurpassed in beauty, and of
delicious fragrance.
Gen. JacqueminOt is a rich crimson,
suffused with evenings crimson hues,
and in the full-blown rose are mystic
charms, and mysterious OdOrs that
steal upon the sense of smell in dream
like pleasure.
ClOthilde SOupert invites your at

Seated on her throne, with sceptre

She has been the acknowledged Queen

her is to love her, and she never

aerial glory"
Her royal beauty, her eXquisiteIy
perfumed breath, the delicate texture
of her filmy robes-Outrivaling the
magnificent silks and satins woven in
the looms of Lyons-the shading and
penciling and veining by the artistic
shades mingle and cOmmingle in such
harmOniOusly blended grace, in such
true artistic beauty that the first and

She is at the fiOod-tide of her splen-

They are of rare design, and dainty

Zelia Pradel captivates every one

White La France displays her

THE DUFF CASE.

In some sfespects at least the
News shows culpable ignorance in
the Lloyd Duff matter. 1t is evasive
in some Others.
The files Of the Telegram show
that Duff was arrested two or three
times for Sunday selling and that
he forfeited his fines. Following
this charges were made against him,
and the mayor called special SEES
sion of the council-not to try Duff
but to take preliminary and lawful
action on the charges preferred.
There was not a quorum and the
special session was not held, but at
that time the mayor announced that
the charges would be taken up aud
considered at the regular meeting of
council to follow two days after the
special meeting was called. At that
meeting they were taken up. and
very properly in executive session
but not for the purpose of giving
him a secret trial. AT that session
a date for trial was determined upon,
and the trial was not postponed as
announced by the News. Indeed, it
would have been unlawful to try
him either secretly or openly that
night, as the law provides that he
shall be given due notice covering
several DAYS after the council has
received the charges, and that is
exactly what the council did. They
received the charges at Friday
nights session and set the trial for
February Is, in order to give him
due notice and comply with the law.
There has been no disposition on
the part Of the council not to take
up the charges and give him a fair.
impartial trial, at which he will have
full opportunity to be heard. In
other words, the council is merely
being governed by the law, and why
they are to be criticised or villifed
for this is hard to see. The News
is inconsistent in the matter as far
as the action of the council is con-
cerned and shows that inconsistency
by its own words. In one column

cLARKsBURG LEADS.

The Parkersburg Dispateh-Ne
Is striving to console the residents of
that city who assert that there is
something serious ailing that city
and in the same breath it accuses
them of having a disordered mag
nation. 1t begs them at last to
cheer up. From the tone of that
papers editorial on the subject, it is
evident that it is trying the expert
ment OF mother with a very sick
child, or is playing the part of a
kind friend toward another with the
toothache. We all know how sym-
pathetic our friends are on such oc-
casions and how empty is their adj
vice to 60 and have the tooth pulled
something more dreaded than the
ache itself.
That that disordered imagination
is based on something real there is
no room to doubt, else there would
have been no need for the Dispatch
News to come along with cheering
words. Certainly the mother need
not console the child, when there is
nothing wrong. Certainly there is
no occasion to tell one to have the
tooth pulled, when there is no ache.
And so it would be with Parkers-
burg, il there were no ailing.
AS sample Of the uneasiness the
Dispatch-News undertakes to allay
relative to its home city, the editor
ial is produced here in full. 1t
wants to be optimistic, but cold
facts seem to weaken its ardor and
destroy its logic. Again what cheer
it tries to bring is based largely on
ASSUMPTIONS, which do not bear it
out, especially in reference to other
cities, and particularly so in refer
ence to Clarksburg, which fact the
Telegram viii show further on in
this editorial. Here is what the
Dispatch-News says under the cap
ton 'Disordered Imagination :"
We have been favored the past
week with some interesting views of
well known Parkersburgers on what
ails the town. It is very generally
assumed by these excellent gentle
men that something ails her. Per-
haps, it isn't as serious as some of
them apparently believe, and none of
them seems to be so downcast about
it that he permits it to suffocate the
last bit of optimism that he
possesses.
Eve don't believe that there is so
much the matter with the old town
that it cannot be speedily and effect
ually cured. We incline to the opin-
ion that the ailment is made worse
than it is by groundless imaginings
brought on by unwarranted fears.
All of this has a tendency to cause
alarm, spread pessimism and pro-
mote a hypoed state Of public senti-
ment. What we need is little of
the faith. A liberal application of
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1906-02-05

the Christian Science creed would
go a long ways toward promoting
eheerfulness and seyering the shack
les that make us seryitors Of dis
ordered imagination. Cheer up,
everybody. Get busy and push.
Not TO push but to standstill is pull
ing backward.
"This town is ahead Of all Others
IN the State, outside Of Wheeling, in
fifty different respects, and il is
ahead Of Wheeling in a dozen par
tieulars. A stranger, visiting
Wheeling one day and Parkersburg
the next, would be hard to convince
that the two cities aren't about equal
in population and business import
ance. Compare Parkersburg with
Charleston and Huntington-it is
hardly a fair comparison-our met
|ropolitanism makes them seem really
smaller and more backward than
they are. As for Fairmont and
clarksburg-they aren't in our
class.
so, cheer up. There is nothing
wrong with Parkersburg; it's your
liver that is out of whack."
All the Telegram needs to say here
is that Clarksburg ships fully twice
as much from out Of the city as both
Parkersburg and Grafton and fully
twice as much is shipped into
Clarksburg as into both Parkersburg
and Fairmont. This assertion is
borne out and substantiated by the
books of the railroad company, and
to those is the Parkersburg Dis
patch-News respectfully referred, if
it has any doubt on the subject.
Thus. is it shown that a portion Of
the Parkersburg papers editorial is
based on error.
| Also in this connection the fact
that the outgoing shipments of this
city are twice that of Parkersburg
and Grafton together shows that
Clarksburg is a producer as large
as both of them together, and indi-
Gates that this city exccls either and
both in industry and commerce. And
the fact that the incoming ship
ments are twice as large as Parkers-
burg and Fairmont's together shows
a local population far more blessed
in many ways than the population of
the other two places combined.
These conditions being true and
evidently being known to the Park
ersburg paper, it is, indeed, plain to
Jail that that paper feels it urgent to
stir its own people to action, even
though it be under the disguise Of
telling them to cheer up.
