A Lost Book.

Among the Somaiis of Africa there Ia
"a legend that when God first made
them, man and a woman, he wrote
down in a book the law they were to
follow. They were promised that as
long as they carefully preserved this
book they should continue great and
powerful, but If they lost it their great.
ness would depart from them. One day
the book was carelessly left lying out
side a tent, where bullock found and
devoured it. From that fatal day their
decadence set in, and to the present
time whenever an OK dies Of disease OF
is killed his entrails are religiously ex-
amined to see If any trace Of the book
can be found. II found they believe
they should recover their lost power.

enormous size. the giants are carried
about the streets with little difficulty
owing to the material of which they

formed of light wood. with possibly
one or two iron rods extending from
the head to the feet to give strength
to the structure. Over the skeleton is
fastened stiff fabric. such as canvas,
and the proper proportions are obtain

other suitable material
Upon this ground work Is placed the

resemblance to the human features

stream," and the title is well earned.
The great Maelstrom is no longer

Stme charts have taught the sailors of

rendered vessel unmanageable.
Several years ago the captain of

famous whirlpool at close quarters,
was assured by his Norwegian pilot
that he might venture near enough for
examination without danger And here

but few minutes when my ship EN-
tered the dish of the whirlpool. The
iSelocity of the water altered her
course three points toward the center.
This alarmed me extremely for mo.
ment. l thought destruction was in
evitable. But she answered her helm
nobly, and we ran along the edge, the
waters foaming round us in every
form.
The sensations l experienced are
difficult to describe. Imagine an inn
mense circle running round Of diam
eter of one and half miles, the veloc-
ity Increasing as it approSimated the
center and gradually changing its dark
i blue color to white, foaming. tumbling,
rushing to it's vortex, very much con-

funnel when half run out. The noise.

tween the rails at a point where the
street is not paved and was not seen
until the car was upon him.
Between IL and II O'Clock Mon
day night the man went to the Fair
mont police and asked to be direct
ed to Watson as well as to some
members of a Fairmont family.
Policeman Gould started him out
Fairmont avenue and at Fourth
street he approached Policeman
Landcs and continued his inquiries.
The man talked to the officer and
said his name was Nose Lamb and
that, his home was near .Chiefton.
The officer noticed that the man had
been drinking, but he seemed entire
lily able to care for himself and went
Ihis'way toward Watson.

MERRIMAN
SELLS HIS
SHOE STORE

VT. AIerriman has sold his shoe,
hat and men't, furnishing store to
aIessrs. Oliker 6 Fine, of Alonon-
gah, and will give the latter posses
sion in the next few weeks. The
deal has been on several days and
has been closed for day or so but
was not made public until Tuesday
morning
Mr.. Merriman disposes of the
store, because he wants to retire
from the business, after many years
thussspent.
Owing to the fact that before
making the sale he had in stock one
.4f the largest stores in the city and
having received good many of the
spring goods ordered by him, as well
las having more enrollte from the fac
tories the transfer of the property,
has been postponed from the present
and will not occur until there has
beensa very large reduction in the
ssbeeh,so as to meet the requirements
ofMe purchasers, and in order to do
this Mr.. Merriman will offer all
goods at greatly reduced prices. He
says the sale of the stock so as to.
reduce ii will be pushed, and, in
order to push it, prices will be SO
greatly reduced that the public can:
not help but buy, as there will be big
bargains at his store until the trans
fer is made.
The Merriman shoe. hat and
mems furnishing store enjoys
wide reputation and Mr.. Merriman
himself is one of the best and most
favorably known shoe dealers in the
state. He has been in the business
% years. OF which IL years have
been in Clarksburg and Is years at
the present stand. No man knows
the business better than he does and
no one conducts the business in a
better way. He is uptodate in every
line and it has always been his aim
to carry only the best qualities and
al reasonable prices The conduct
Of the business all these years has
been honorable and on business prifi-j
eiples with honest and capable sef5
Z vice The controlling motives. II
= The Merriman store Is a credit to
ANY community and Mr.. Merrinan
has no occasion not to be proud Of,
the business he has so successfully
conducted these many years. nor has
.theEencral public and epeelally his
mani p1trons cause fog chfiPlamt
against the service sivcnStham, His
goods have always been found as<rep-
resented. by lin ID Z * .qs bon
general satisfaction among the pat
rons'bf the store. Many will regret
his retirement from the business.
But there is every assurance that
s,aFAIessrs. ( Olilter & Fine will measure.
Tiip fully to the requirements, as they
are active and experienced young
men in that business. They have
similar stores at Monongah, with
which they have been quite success
full, and there is every assurance
that they will succeed here.
Tn sale of the store gives oppor-
tunity the next few weeks for bar
gains in the lines handled at NIer-
riman's, such as have not heretofore
been offered in this city, and nat
urally the people will avail them
selves of them.
Mr.. Merriman has not decided in
what business he will engage on his
retirement from the shoe business.
1t is more than likely that his ef-
3 forts will be given wholly for a
/, while to recuperating his health.
