A woman invented blue paper by
accident. The wife of William Eastes,
one of the leading paper makers of
England in the 18th century, i'm pass
ing through the paper plant one day
dropped a big blue bag into a vat
of pulp. Eastes was stern man and
Mrs Eastes decided to say nothing.
The paper in the vat came out blue.
The workman were mystihed, Eas-
tes enraged, while Mrs. Eastes kept
quiet The upshot was that the pa
per was sent to London marked
damaged" to be sold for whatever
1t would bring. The selling agent
in London was shrewd. He saw that
this blue-tinted paper was attractive
He declared It to be a wonderful new
invention and he sold # of like hot
cakes at double the white papers

N. & w. DOINGS.

Few seem To realize the enormous
operations OF the n. x w. in the West
End. You may know that the Blue
field yards of the company are the
most extensive of any road East OF
Kansas City; but you do know that
the West End extension will nearly
equal the present yardage? Material
is now being assembled there for
heavy repairs, and more than 100
men will be at work there next week.
Before some of you realize it, all
train-crews on the Pocahontas and
Clinch Valley divisions will be re-
lieved at the West End-several hun
dred in all. The men want homes
near by, and those MIDWAY" lots
are absolutely the ONLY reasonably
priced home sites within a mile. They
are only a few hundred feet distant.
and can be bought now for 1925 to
1916 on easy terms. The man who
cannot see the immeasurable impor-
tance of these lots over any for sale
in Blueheld. lacks the strategy and
foresight necessary in flnancier'ng
and had better not dabble In real
estate. Most men do lack these
qualities, and that is just the reason
why only a few hundred out of mil
lions OF men get rich. Do you be-
long to the hundreds, or to the mil
lions? If the former you will in
vestigate and see IL these claims
about the West End be true; IL to the
latter, you will think no more about
It.

A LITTLE WHILE.


a few moro yoars-'tis but little
while
Our work all done, our weary feet
at rest.
Though full-orbed moon and rising
sun still smile
On lowest plano and highest mout-
tain crest.
They call us not to joys that como
with hight;
Earth's brightest scenes are wrapped
In shades of night,
a little whilol We change AS all
things must:
These mortal frames shall crumbIe
into DUST
Whate'er our work, that work will
end at last
The JOY, tho grief, the pleasure and
the pain.
The end Will comet Wherc'er our
lines are cast,
All helps shall fail; all earthly
props prove vain.
The friends of youth who Joined us
I'm our plays,
Our schoolday friends, and friends OF
later days
All, one by one, have gone, or soon
will go;
From life TO death, there Is con-
stand flow
But, o what joyl When Death hath
claimed its own,
The morning breaks of life's I'M
ending dayl
When earthly scenes and earthly Joys
have flown.
Onr spirits freed. enraptured, ny
away!
No sickness there, no pain, no stIned
breath
No sighs. no tears, no crushing griers,
no DEATH
o joys OF joysl OF Gods free spirit
born
We gladly hail the Resurrection
