Point Pleasant
Monument
National Congress Makes an Ap-
preparation for Monument.

Washington dispatches report
the passage by the Senate of a
bill appropriating $4,000 for the
erection of a monument at Point
Pleasant, w. Va, commemora-
ting the battle fought at that place
on October 10, 1774, between the
Colonial troops and Indians.
This is a scant and tarday recog-
milton of one of the most memor-
able events in the early history of
this country. This battle was one
of the most important ever fought
between the whites and Indians
in the territory now covered by
the United States. The Indians
led by Cornstalk, their ablest war
rior and chief, numbered about
two thousand, and the assault up
on the forces of General Andrew
Lewis, who was commander ofthe
white, was desperate and persist
ent. The battle ragged all day
long and was conducted with ad-
mirable skill and courage by the
red men, and nothing but the su-
perior GOODNESS and intelligence
of the white men saved them from
defeat. The defeat of the Indi-
ans was complete and overwhelm-
ing and humbled them so that
there was never another we'll or
ganized or dangerous effort made
by them to recover the lost ter
ritory.
The descendants of the men
who participated in that battle
are scattered all over Virginia,
West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, In
diana and the west. This action
of Congress will meet with hear
ty approval.
The last Legislature appropria-
ted five thousand dollars towards
monument to be erected at
Point Pleasant, and there is a
fund of some two thousand dol
lars raised by the patriotic wom-
en- of Mason county some years
ago, so that, when this ten thous-
and dollars appropriated by the
federal government is available
there will be about seventeen
thousand dollars with which to
begin the work.
The committee in charge ofthe
matter are to be congratulated
upon the success which has at
tended their efforts to secure this
monument, and is hoped will
press the work to completion at
an early day.

What a Wise
Wife Knows.

She knows that a home is more
than half what you make it, and
that a builder of happy home is
success indeed. She knows that
it takes two to prolong a family
quarrel, one can therefore termln-
ate it. She knows that filing a
house with bargains keeps a
couple from owning the house in
which they place them. She
knows that if we thought all we
said we'd be wise, but if we said
all we thought we'd be foolish.
She knows that some people sneer
at love in a cottage, but love that
could wish to live anywhere else
is not love. She knows that
proud people seldom have friends.
In prosperity they know nobody;
in adversely nobody knows them,
says Woman's Life. She knows
that to make long lived friend
ships one must be slow in max
ing them. She knows that the
woman who gains trifle meanly
is meaner than the trifle. She
knows that "it is less pain to
learn in youth than to be ignor-
ant in old age" She knows that
if she can not throw brightness
over her home it is best not to
throw wet blanket over it. She
knows that a wife who thinks she
is perfectly generally the most
imperfect. The unwise wife may
profit by studying what the wise
woman knows.
