At the boarding house he lifted down his passen-

"They're nailed up tight she whispered; but

and dill seeds. l feel as l wish people would feel
to my SON"
The driver suddenly turned from her, then
suddenly turned again. Your son would do this,
he said unsteadily. Bending, he pressed his lips
to her forehead.
At the Divide Patterson stumbled up the trail
to the cabin. There a shriil welcoming cry as
he opened the door and the scurry OF tiny feet:
He stopped and pulsing bunch OF feathers pressed
against his hand Mechanically he picked 1t up.
Hours later peering through the window would have
found a man whose face ChiSelcd by purpose
as stern as his Revolutionary ancestors had been
when he fought against the Lilies of France.
Wake up, Arabeei" he said First

1t was close on stage time when Patterson entered
the store He deposited the big pan on the counter,
laid ten dollar bill beside it, and tapped the bug
ing breast of his coat.
''It's Arabele," he said. You'll be good to
her and pet her sometmes She's sort of used to it.

Pure Gold Seldom Seen.

Pure gold is of one unvarying and
unchanging color, but few people ever
see such gold. The kind used as mon
ey or for jewelry has alloy in it after
il is manufactured into the desired ar
ticle. In medicine, however, there is
one remedy that can always be relied
on for its purity and that is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. In its composition
is used only the very best ana purest
ingredients, and its increasing popular
ity is proof that the public appreciates
this one pure remedy. Therefore we
urge you to insist on having Hostel
ter's with our Private Stamp over the
neck of the bottle. 1t always cures poor
appetite, sick headache, vomiting, in
digestion, dyspepsia, flatulency, female
ills, chills, colds or malarial fever.
Don't fail to try bottle at once.

STOMACH'S IMPORTANCE.
How to Strengthen 1t so That 1t Will Act
as Ii Should.

To enjoy both health and happiness,
it is absolutely necessary that the
stomach and digestive organs should
be strong enough to properly digest
the food. If they are weak and in
active, the body will soon be in a
state of semi-starvation.
Nothing equals Mi-o-ua stomach
tablets in giving strength and tone to
the whole digestive system. Use this
remedy for a few days, and you will
find the appetite keen, the digestion
good, no nausea or distress after eat
ing, no sleeplessness, no nervousness
and the backaohes and headaches that
are the direct results of a weakened
stomach will soon be overcome.
Ask Remnants Pharmacy to show
you the guarantee which they give
with every so cent box of Mi-o.na.
1t is the one remedy they have enough
faith in to guarantee.

We agree with the Wheeling In
telhgencer that the West Virginia
Legislature has very important du-
ty to perform In Strengthening some
of the weak places in the new tax
laws. Three items in the original re-
port of the tax commission ought to
be enacted into law, namely, tax on
the gross income of the railroads, a
tonnage tax on the output OF coal,
and a tax on the oil and gas produced
from West Virginia wells By using
incapable or corrupt officials the coal
interests are evading their fair share
OF the burdens, the railroads are try
ing to use the courts as an avenue for
lodging. and oil and gas are not pay
ing what they ought to pay. The
method of taxation that we suggest
above, originally advocated by the
tax commission, is simple and GER
tain, and it ought to be enacted into
a law so plain that the corporations
cannot possibly evade it.

A new industry has been started on
the farm of Charles Becker, on the

Judge Faulkner handed down his
decision in the tax appeal case of the
Hannis Distilling Co., against the
Berkeley county court, the court
holding that the taxes on %, 900 bar
rels of whiskey in the warehouse must
be paid. AS will be remembered,
Assessor Ellis placed $4,000 barrels
of whlskey on the tax books, the total
value being about $4,000, and the
Hannis Distilery Co., appealed to the
county court to be relieved of this as
sessment on the ground that it was
erroneous, the company not owning
the whiskey. The county court sus-
tanned the assessor, and an appeal was
taken to the circuit court. The decis.
ion Of Judge Faulkner sustains the
county court. A stay of execution
was granted, and an appeal will be
taken by the attorneys for the defend
ants to the Supreme Court Of the
State. The amount of taxes involved
is about So 600 per year,-MartInS-
burg World.

Food don't digest Because the
stomach lacks some one of the essential
digestants or the digestive juices are
not properly balanced. Then, too, it is
this undigested food that causes sour
ness and painful indigestion. Kodol

lief. Kodol is a solution of vegetable
acids. 1t digests what you eat, and
corrects the deficiencies o. the digest
ion. Kodol conforms To the National

A GOOD many Democratic newspa-
pers are beginning to realize the truth
that the REGISTER has urged for the
past year-that 1t is silly to oppose
the new tax laws in West Virginia.
An important step in the right direc-
ton has been made, and we hope that
the Democrats in the next Legislature
will, regardless OF partisan bias, work
for such amendments as will perfect
the present system. The election on
November 9th showed that the people
approve OF what has already been
done, and the Democrats will gain
party advantage by working for fur
ther improvement.

THE Sugar Trust has been found
guilty of receiving rebates In freight
rates contrary to law. But the price
of sugar is not coming down any-on
the contrary, the price will be in
creased if fine is imposed, for the
people will be compelled to foot the
bill.
The way topunlsh the Sugar Trust
and at the same time benefit the peo-
pie is to remove at least a part of the
tariff that enables this corporation to
practice its extortion on the people.
