TO HAVE A

"MEET ME ON THE WAR PATH AT
THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSE.
TIoN."
INV James Boyle.)

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 5.-There is
nothing in life like good time. That
diversion drives away the tendency to
ennui, 1t dispels those haunting de
lusions which periodically seize upon
the best balanced mind, and 1t serves
notice on worry and care that their
rule is only a temporary one, limited
to the exigencies OF pressing circum-
stances,
The jamestown Ter-Centennial Ex-
position to be held from April 26th
until November 3Oth, 1907, on the
shore and waters Of Hampton Roads,
in the State of Virginia, will supply
a desideratum to the tired mind and
the wearried body. Its manifold at
fractions and exquisite displays will
serve as a magnet to concentrate ev-
cry wandering faculty and absorb
them in a maelstrom Of delight.
Having a good time is a scientific
pursuit when observed with discretion
airy regulation is neglected the quest
degenerHtes into a dissipation. The
opportunity afforded at the Jamestown
Ter.Cenennial Exposition to have a
temporlzed, modulated and restricted
good time will be the greatest Of it's
kind ever given in this country.

secured some two weeks previous.
Mr. Hubbard came 10 Warrington
early in the day and held almost con-
tinao@ reception at his room until
time for the meeting. Dr.. W. A. Nor.
gan presided and after fine address
which was repeatedly applauded, intro

ence Of some $50, who gave him their

Early in the evening a quartette of
colored people from Plttsburg, who

of the school the following evening,
were permitted to sing an advertising
number, and out of this aimsy mater
ial the papers chief Ananias wove the
fabric Of lies to which we have re-
ferred.
From a paper which can not only
lie so, but will even fake the date line
to dodge the responsibility, can the
voters Of this district who know the
truth believe its statements concern
ing taxes, or election frauds, or the
like? Is 1t not reason enough to vote
just the opposite of what it advises?
We will say now what we have con-
templated saying these past months.
Namely, that If there is no more truth
in the statements of the Times about
primary election frauds at Fairmont
than there was in its similar accusa-
tons about the local board of which
we were close observer, then there
was no fraud and the Times is simply
guilty again of a lot of campaign trum-
perry, which in everyday street par
lance would be called lying,

It would he hard to tell a bigger
lie than that in the leading first page
first column article Of yesterdays pa
per.
1t is dated Warrington and purports
to have been written from here, bat
1t bears the ear marks, to use well
worn but trite pharse, of having been
written in the Times Office.
1t is headed something about Hub
bard frost and is therefore started
with an untruth.
Having lost the chance of its life
time to roast the opposite party q
week ago on the failure of Warden
Haddox's meeting here, and at the
same time tell the truth, 1t at this
late date allows a fragrant abuse Of
the art Of Ananias to come into Its
columns now.
1t says in yesterdays article that
Tax Commissioner Dillon held a
meeting here one day last week
which was a failure, and that he had
Just sixteen voters present at his
meeting"
This is the first thing that proves
that nobody of this city would have
been fool enough to write the article
in question. Dillon never held q
meeting here, and the Times ought tc
know he never was out VI its city ddr
ing the time mentioned. Haddox and
Baily did hold meeting week, to the
day, before Hubbard, and while 1t was
a frost, the Times failed to learn Of II
in time to crow. and even these men
had at least 100 to $50 voters as audi
tors.
Its next conglomerate and entirely
untrue effusion was to the effect that
tie opera house was secured for MIR
Hnbbard's address, and that a negro
minstrel troupe having also secured
the opera house for the same evening
the time was divided between the two
and the negroes used to draw {
crowd, while the deficit in their re
celpts was made good by the loca
committee. Further, that after this
had failed of crowd the band was
secured, the meeting held in the opcrs
house and even then the band had tc
be sent out in town on an excursion
TO rum up a crowd. That when the
meeting finally proceeded. the speak
er had an audience Of some 20, mostly
women and children, and that these

Giant Fish Caught.

The big fish which has caused so
much excitement on the part of fish
ermen at Ely Lake, and which has
been prolific source of tall tales, has
been caught. At least, William Peter
son, of this place, believes that he
has captured the monster.
While fishing in the lake Peterson
secured a tremendous Strike" He
was almost jerked out of his boat
by the first angry struggle of the big
fish, but, being an expert with rod
and reel, soon recovered his equili-
brium and began to play" his catch.
The fish tried all the tricks known
to the finny tribe and many new ones.
IL would set off at tremendous speed,
towing the skiff after it at a rate that
made the water churn. Then sud-
denly the line would slacken and
Peterson could hardly reel in his line
fast enough to keep 1t taut as the
fish came near.
After three. hours of hard work, at
the end of which Peterson's wrist felt
as II 1t had been kept in wise for
that length of time, he managed to
get the fish alongside and run gam
through its gills. He then took re-
volver and shot it. II proved to be
a seventy-five-pound muskallonge,
and although it was not seven feet
long. as many who had seen the fish
claimed it was, Peterson is satisfied
that there are few fish in Ely Lake

Scientific Wrecks.

The German Government has taken
possession of a short strip OF track
near Berlin, and is planning to exc
cute a unique series of railroad "ac-
cidents" made to order. Every vari-
ETY. of misplaced switch will be tested.
every possible defect in wheels, axles
and car equipments will be tried out.
and the grand finale is to be an i'm
mense headon collision of locomo-
tives.
These spectacular exhibitions are
not planned by the Government as a
national amusement. They are foI
the purpose of scientific experiment,
so that the engineers and railway eX-
perts may study ways and means to
prevent accidents of all kinds in the
future.
Railroad accidents have occurred
with alarming frequency in the Ger
man Empire. 1t is estimated that the
German railways lose S1,260,OO0 an
nually through damages. After the
causes and effects of each variety of
wreck have been noted it will be the
task of the Government officials to
devise safeguards Louis Post

A YEARS FIRE LOSSES.
Worlds Gold Output This Year Would
Not Pay Our Losses by Flames.

We have in the United States ill.,
100000 buildings, valued at s14,-
100000, 700, or more than all the
railroads in the country put together.
and of all these just one is absolute
ly fireproof. That one was built in
Chicago by the great insurance COM
panies for testing laboratory. There
are 1000 nominally fireproof build
ings.
Yet the one actually flreproof
building. according to Golfers, cost
only twelve per cent. more than a
building that would shrivel UP at the
first breath of an advancing fire.
In 1905, which was normal year.
we spent 100000, 900 for new build
ings and burned old ones to the value
of $200,000,000. We paid $780,
100000 for fire fighting and $780,
10000 in fire insurance premiums,
of which we got back s95, 100000
from the companies in payment for
losses. Hence it would cost us more
to burn part of our old buildings and
protect the rest from burning than
it did to put up all our new ones.
And that was a normal year.
This year is net normal This
year San Francisco has raised the
fire losses of the United States to
$500, 100000, even If we do not let
another city burn down between now
and next January.
If we should burn up the whole of
our bonanza wheat crop we should
think the country had suffered a ca
lamity, yet It is doubtful whether
that whole crop would pay for the
property we actually have burned
and are burning this year. Our en-
tire years gold supply would not pay
for a sixth of it. The entire gold pro-
duction of the world would not come
anywhere paying for it.
The $500,000,000 worth OF build
ings which we put up in year to
burn down would cost about $780,
100000 if they were built not to
burn down. For the extra S50,000,-
900 we could save more than $780,
100000 that we pay in normal years
for fires and fire protection. In 9TH
er words, we should have the equiv
alent of another wheat or cotton crop
added every year to the national
wealth.

How Much to Eat.

How are you to determine how
much food to eat? Let your sensa-
tions decide. 1t must be kept in
mind that the entire func.1on of di-
gestion and assimilation is carried
without conscious supervision or con-
currence. 1t should be entirely un-
felt and unknown, excepting by the
feeling which accompanies and fol-
lows it's normal accomplishment.
Safety is bad. 1t implies a sensa-
tion of fulness in the region of the
stomach, and that means that too
much food has been taken. The eX-
act correspondence in a healthy ami
NAL between the appetite and amount
of food required is extraordinary.
AS a rule, the meal, unless eaten
very slowly, should cease before the
appetite is entirely satisfied, because
a little time is required for the out
lying organs and tissues to feel the
effects of the food that has been in
gested. If too little has been taken,
it is easy enough to make it up at tho
next meal, and the appetite will only
-be the better, the food more grateful
No one was ever sorry for having
voluntarily eaten too little, while mil
lions every day repent having eaten
too much. 1t has been said that the
great lesson homeopathy taught the
world was this-That. whereas physi-
clans have been in the habit of giving
the patient the largest dose he can
stand, they have been led to see that
their purpose was better subserved
by giving him the smallest dose that
would produce the desired effect
And so it is with food.-Scottish
