Letter f IN West Va.

Mr. EDIrpi, - erhaps 1t would be
interesting b. ln of your readers TO
hear from us abiut our trip, and some
things we sa we left Reynoldsville
at $40 II. m, Aini 10th, our destination
being May, Wes Va, 300 miles by rail
from Pittsburs W. The first thing to
see was snow all llla way to Echo sta
tion, B. r. & f. railroad. From there
things changed very rapidly from
winter to spring. Leaving Pittsburg
at l. 10 p. m. for Cumberland, over the
B. & o. Il. r., we raw some very beauti-
full homes and scenery, the shade trees
being in full leaf, fruit trees in bloom
and everything showing the touch of
spring time ; a,so the hum of industry
was in evidence every where along the
way, no strikes or any trouble anywhere
to be seen. In coming here we passed
through fourteen tunnels of various
lengths. There is some wonderful
scenery between Cumberland and here.
On reaching the divide at the head Of
Black River it is great. Looking up
you can see bills thousand feet high
or more and looking down you can see
the Black River rushing over its rocky
black bottom from 5000 to 1000 feet
below with nothing but air between you
and certain destruction, but so far there
has not been an accident there. This
end of the road has only been completed
about two years, so everything is new
and no Sunday trains, no churches.
Sunday is quiet and peaceful.
This company has fine manufactur-
ing plant, a band mill of sixty thousand
capacity They pay $500 to S7.00 per
day, according to what mans job is.
This place is nearly fifteen hundred feet
higher than Reynoldsville. Weather
is nice and warm.
Yours truly,
N. CHITISTER.

Drilling at Rockdale.

Rockdale is becoming quite prosper.
Gus. A diamond drill is being operated
in the work of testing for coal. Those
in charge of this, maintain most
marked secret about their operations,
and this fact seems to warrant the
belief held by the residents OF that
section that coal has been found and ii
will be but short time before a shaft
will be sunk. Another party of men
are drilling for oil and are down about
400 feet. There is much reason to
believe that the land is abundant with
oil and those who are seeking for it will
yet meet with success Brockwayville

giant cracker and the toy pistol and in part to anti
toxin. The blank cartridge in last years victims
counted but 8O9 as against O05 in 1904 and 1872

WHEN FORMING A HABIT.
What the Psychologist Tells Us Con-
corning the Time to Begin Re
forms and the Way.

Because we have not hitherto had
the best possible habits is no reason
why we should not begin TO form them
in 1906. Prof. James, who has made a
profound study OF habit, has furnished
us with n or two excellent maxims
on the subject, First, he tells us that
it is indispensable TO begin with AS
strong and as decided an initiative as
possible. Accumulate all the possible
circumstances which shall reinforce
the right motive. Put yourself assldu-
ously ia conditions that encourage the
new way and make engagements COM
patihie with the old in short. envelope
your resolution with every aid you
know. Never suffer an exception TO
occur until the new habit is securely
rooted in your life. Each lapse is like
the letting fall Of a ball OF string
which one is carefully winding up; a
single slip undoes more than a great
many turns will wind again. Let the
expression Of your habit be the least
thing in the world, speaking genially
10 ones grandmother. or giving up
ones seat In a car if nothing more
heroic offers. But let it not fail 10
take place."-Msrgsret E. Sangster, IN
