In looking around at the successful
men of the present day oneis depressed
to notice how few are good looking. Is
it possible for beauty and brains to ex-
ist together? Though mere fortunes are
made in business now than ever in the
past, it Crews daily more obvious that
we are not beautiful. Again, does the
good looking man succeed? The finest
men, the artist will tell you, are the
tall an peasantry OF the do nothing
type. 1t ioes not take much trouble to
notice how very few ofthe fine men are
among the successes. Mr.. Stackpool
O'Dell, whose knowledge of brains is
famous, remarked that if the Apollo
Belvedere descended to earth today he
would probably be found in very
humble position-as commissions
naire, or footman, or an artists mod
ell. Yet how many captains of industry
would care to share a pedestal with
him in theSouth Kensington museum?

In Regard to vegetables.

Vegetables growing above the ground
should be cooked in sailed water, those
below in fresh water. Never cook to-
matoes In iron ON stir with metal
spoon. Parsley eaten after onions Will
remove the unpleasant odor of the
breath. Chives are delicious in all
kinds of vegetable salads, and are also
nice for flavoring soups and stews.
Carrots contain peptic acid, which acts
upon other foods in manner that dis
solves them, and SO promotes diges-
ton: they are said to clear the COM
plexion. The common bean is more
nutritious than wheat, AM is mere
easily digested when eaten in combina
ton with tomatoes Lettuce is espec.
tally healthful since it is easy TO d.
gest and has laxative and sporific quail
tiles which are beneficial to nervous
people. Spinach is excellent for the
liver and should be used freely. When
potatoes are thoroughly baked burst
the skin and you will have delicious,
mealy potatoes that will be eatable for
an hour or more if kept in warm
place.

Would Abolish State NormaIs.

The establishment of high schools
the state for the benefit OF
the teachers Of West Virginia, which
cause has been espoused by State SUI
perintendent, Thos. G. Miller, will pro-
baby be placed before the legislature
when they convene next January.
Prof Miller claims he is Iaboring hard
to establish better educational sys-
tenn for the teachers of this state and
the special training they would receive
at high schools be thinks would place
the teachers on a higher system of ed
ucation.
The high school plan provides for
the entire abolition of the Normal
school system. and the substitution
therefor of system of high schools in
each county in the state. 1t may there
fore be predicted that one of the thous-
and and one bills introduced by the
amateur law makers who will assem-
BILE in Charleston in January will be a
bill to abolish state normal schools.

Common Law Trusf-BustinQ.

West Virginia has gone into the trust
busting business armed only with the
old muzzle-loading squirrel rifle known
as the common law, but while the pat
tern is ancient the gun has a long
range and shoots straight. The coal
and coke business of the Flat Top re-
gion has been a tight combination
almost from the day the field was
o ,,ened, as some Connellsville inves-
tors can testify, but slowly the coils of
the trust octopus have been relaxed
under pressure of pubic opinion and
the big stick, and now with one fell
blow the courts have smashed the Po-
eahontas coke combine on the ground
that.lt is contrary to public policy and
a violation of the common law. The
suppression of trust control of the Fla
Top region by the simple operation OF
TIE common law does not prove con.
clusively that all trusts may be co
trolled and regulated without legisla
ton, but it shows what some states
may do in some eases, and it suggests
the thought that many of them hav,
not been as industrious in this field al
they might have been.-Connellsvill
! Courier.

Saddest of all.

But the saddest thing of my life
witnessed one night, after trying in
vain from about the middle ofthe after
noon until near nine o'clock to find a
place to stay all night. After / got in
the house the father came in intoXi-
Gated, called UP boy about eleven or
twelve years old and asked about the
hired band, horses, sheep, cattle and
hogs. All had done something to dis
please him. Then tile boy had to curse
everything on aud about the place. 1t
was regular storm OF cursing. Ten,
looking for his wife, with her face bur
led in her hands, and seeing her he
said, "And what has your mother
done?" She had done something.
"Well, now give her good cursing."
Then the boy cursed with greatly re-
II ,wei energy. That all done, and well
done, | was sent to bed; but if / had
not remembered the fierce mastiff in
the yard l would never have gotten in
that bed. But there | was-afraid TO

TAINTED MONEY.
win Reservations To Corporations BE
Made.

The story is circulated in Washing
ton that President Roosevelt demand
e sometime ago that Mr.. Cortelyou,
chairman of the Republican Nationa,
Committee, and Mr.. Bliss, the treas
urer of the committee, arrange to re-
pay from the funds on hand S14S,000
received from the Life Insurance Com
panies for the campaign fund of 1904.
These officials are reported to have OBJ
stinately refused to make restitution
of the tainted money although there
was over $500, 900 balance in the bank
10 the credit of the committee. If the
President feels SO strongly that this
tainted money, which rightfully be-
longs to the widows and orphans OF
the policy holders, should be returned
1t would seem that he is in position
to cause restitution to be made by de-
handing that Mr.. Cortelyeu return
the contributions. In case of refusal he
can call for the resignation OF Mr.. Cor
telyou as Postmaster-General and as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, which would bring the
matter to climax. AS nearly two
years have elapsed without restitution
being made of these large amounts of
money, by the Republican politicians
, Involved, it is difficult to believe that
there is any real intention of making
restitution of the tainted money.
| There is another phase OF this ques-
ton, that even restitution Will not ef-
face, for it will be remembered that
President Roosevelt denied that either
he or Mr.. Cortelyou had knowledge OF
! any such campaign contributions from
corporations, when Judge Parker
changed before the election OF 1904,
taat such contributions had been re-
csived. 1t will therefore require not on
" restitution of the tainted funds but
also an apology to Judge Parker to
clear up this noxious Republican mess,
1t would be pleasant to record that the
| Republican politicians, even while
! knowingly having received the tainted
money, are willing TO show fruit meet
for repentence and i'll future when re-
! ceiving similar contributions will in,
sist that the appearance of evil shall be
avoided.

ard Payne, anthor Of "Home, Sweet
Hume,r lived in his early years, while
he was wanderer on the face Of the
globe, inspired his immortal ballad, il
to be destroyed. The site on which it
has stood so many years has been pur-
chased and the structure will be torn
dow. and a church erected in its place.
Home, Sweet Home" was written
In 1922. Payne, the son Of an elocu-
zionist, was intended by his father for
business career. The young man,
however, was determined to go on the
stage, and his first appearances in
America were successful. After six
years of effort, however, he decided
that there was more chance sf continu-
ID success in.England, and he went
there in 1913: He carried letters to Lord
Byron, Kemble the tragedian, Samuel
Taylor Coleridge and other celebrities
of the day.
In London his thoughts often revert
ed to the little home on the Hudson,
and in 1922 he wrote the now famous
lines. They were composed for an
opera entitled "Clari, the Maid Of
Milan.n The opera Was conventions
but The song as sung by Miss Maria
Tree brought extraordinary applause.
It is said 100000 copies of the song
were sold within year. Payne re-
ceived more than | 200 as his share of
the proceeds, q considerable sum in
those days. Payne returned to America
several times and on one Of his trips he
displayed such keen sympathy for
the Indians in Georgia who were dis
possessed of their lands that he was
thrown into Jail. 1t IS said his escape
was conniyed at by guard who learn
ed that the the prisoner was the author
of the famous lines.
Misfortunes followed him, and his
friends finally secured him the post of
consul to Tunis He died there ia 1915
and the man who sang most sweetly
of home was buried among strangers
in foreign land. Thirty one years
after his death bis body was disinterred
and removed to Washington.

printed in the old fashioned way and
that Congress should not tolerate in
