Paradoxlcal Philosophy.

1t is universal fact that man does
not like to work. 1t is universal
fact that man does work. Conclusion:
Man is not free. it were an unal-
Logged pleasure to earn our bread by
the sweat of our brows it would never
have been given to us as penalty for
disobedience. Far back in the rosy
dawn of creation man was pushed
out through the gates of paradise a.
mong the brambles and wild berry
patches of an untamed world and Civ
en- to understand that henceforth he
must work. 1t was Gods command
and he had it to do. Still we do not
like to work, but it ia Gods command
and we must. How often under the
lash of circumstances do we drag
weary limbs from the bed to renew
the struggle for bread at the growing
of the cock. Why then does man go
whistling and singing to and from the
field, the counter and the anvil. Is it
not because of the secret consciousness
that he is doing right and obeying q
divine command? What sweet and
ample reward, after day we'll filled
with useful toll, to sit in the quiet af-
terglow and feel the approval of God!
Who would not make himself weary
with toll just to hear that wee small
voice whisper to his pining soul, Well
done my good and faithful one?'
When we learn of this true and great
er reward for labor the poisonous dol
lar falls from our hand and lies un-
needed in the dirt as we catch SHIN
mering glimpse of our lost Eden
through rift in the sitting dust
cloud that envelopes the human race.
Yes. 80 long as we are slaves to sin we
must work, sweat and die. How and
] when will man be freed. Let us see
Presumed next week.

very pleasant gentleman to meet.
He is much interested in better high
ways and certainly would give the
county good services in the capacity of

w Heu On! when
When will the earth, subdued by
Lie calm, obedient and still?
And vagrant force, harnessed and
caught,
Do naught but what we wish and
will?
OH could we tame that demon
hand
That ratified down the Golden
Gate"
And shook San Frisco into bits
And tossed them in the furnace
crate,
And hitch it to the mills of earth
And make it work the change we
scheme,
To man heaven no more would be
A far-off, dim, uncertain dream.
While on her way to North Branch
in single buggy, Saturday, June 9th,
Mrs. James Egan was the victim of a
frightful accident. The horse stepped
into hole in the bridge near the
Kness farm, foundered sideways and
fell over the end of the bridge into
deep ditch dragging the buggy with
it. The buggy WAS overturned and
Mrs. Egan was thrown beneath it.,
but was enabled to escape uninjured
because of willow tree that stood
near by the limbs of which caught the
hind wheel of the vehicle and held
it up while Mrs. Egan crept from be-
meath. The buggy and harness were
badly broken. Aside from this the
damage is slight.

The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-05-09

The annual report of the General
Electric Company. issued at the end
of last week. showed a very great in
crease in the company's business as
compared with the preceding year.
and in that way threw a light upon the
copper situation and the demand
which sent the price of the metal up
to its present high level The cleo
trio companies and large users of COP
per in their works. and as the West
inshouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company experiences similar condl-
tons to those which gave General
Electric its enormous volume of bust
ness. it is clear that the use of cop
per in the electric industries in the
past year was on greatly increased
scale. The light thus thrown upon
