b AND 0. NOT AGAINST
TWO CENT FARE LAW

The city Board of Trade and the
Merchants Association are to-day cir.
cllatIng a petition to De sent TO the
proper B. and o. authorities asking
that passenger and freight trains be
ruE each day Of the week except Sun.
day on the Pawpaw branch. They
are also asking that trains No. 5 and
Isl between Fairmont and Cumberland
be run daily instead Of daily except
Sunday, II It Is possible to make
proper Plttsburg connections, they
will urge that No. 50 reach FaIFmont
an hour earlier and leave 30 minutes
later each day, thereby giving passen,
gers for Falrmont from down the F.,
M! and P. BrancR more time In this
city, which will also increase the pay
OF the trains.
It is not believed here that the two
cent fare, which goes into effect May
% on all the B. and o. lines, will have
any effect whatever on the train ser.
vice for Falrmont. Should there be
any trains taken of the NJ. r. It will
be due TO The loss OF passengers on
some OF these trains between here and
clarksburg since the operation OF the
futerurban 9cars between the points.
SO far as the Legislature wos con.
cerned we have been Informed that
no one ever heard any protest from
the B. and O.. against he TWO cent law.
The c. and o. and Norfolk and West.
ern were long and loud In their pro.
tests, but the B. and o. uttered not
a word. That the company will give
the new law o fair trial before TAX.
ing of any trains or DOING anything
else that will effect Its passenger ser.
vice is the belief Of every ;air minded
person. We predict that on May %
all patrons Of the B. anu .. will travel
for two cents a mile and should the
law ever be declared unconstitutional
by the courts 1t will be done through
the efforts Of some other railroad com.
pany.

"DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to
Shooters of Arrows.

The expression drawing long bow"
does not of necessity mean the telling
Of falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to
q wonderful story which may be true
enough, but which is so marvellous as
to require firm trust in the veracity
of the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe it. Some of the longest bows
Of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Vir
gil In the "4Eneid' tells Of four arch
ers who were shooting for prize, the
mark being pigeon tied by cord to
the mast of ship. The first man hit
the mast, the second cut the cord, and
the third shot the pigeon as 1t flew
away. The fourth archer, having
nothing left to shoot, drew his bow
and sent his arrow flying toward the
sky with such speed that the friction
of the air set the feathers ON fire, and
it swept on like a meteor to disappear
in the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in Scott's
"Ivanhoe," are also a decided strain
upon modern credulity. The famous
story Of William Tell, doubted by
many persons, is believed by others to
have q foundation of fact. There was
Dane named Foke of whom the same
story is told, and William of Cloudes-
ley, an Englishman, is said to have
shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his expertness.
Most stories of bows and arrows re-
late to the accurate aim of the archers,
but Frenehman, Blaise de Vigenene,
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be pro-
PEELED If the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own account
of the matter, he saw Barbarossa, a
Turk, admiral of ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through cannon ball.
Whether the cannon ball had a hole
us, probably not considering SO tritiing
q matter worth mention.
Perhaps the most astounding Of all
stories about arrow shooting is that of
the Indians that used to inhabit Flor
ida. 1t is said that a group of them
would form circle, then one would
throw an ear of Indian corn into the
air. The rest would shoot at it and
shell it of every grain before it fell to
the ground. Sometimes the arrows
would strike it so hard and fast that
it would remain suspended in the air
for several minutes, and the cob never
fell until the last grain had been shot
away.
1t is such stories as this which fully
justify the use to which the expression
drawing the long bow" is sometimes
put.-Chicago News

The Grindstone.

A grindstone should be true on its
face. If 1t is not SO, broad, fiat tools
are liable to be spoiled. The remedy
for grindstone that has lost its even
ness is to place fat iron bar with a
sharp edge on the supporting beam In
such manner that 1t will strike the
uneven part Of the stone at every revo.
luton until the desired form is again
regained. 1t Is necessary that stone
should be kept wet when in use or it
would draw the temper Of the tools
after few revolutions, but it is not
good plan to allow the lower portion to
rest in water when idle The water
soaks that portion and softens it, and
it soon gets "out of true" and thus
commences course Of troubles which
is pretty hard to either remedy or stay

The rruth About STARVING.

Novelists write a lot of nonsense
about the extreme suffering that ac-
companies starvation. 1t is all poppy
cock, says Dillon Wallace in the Out
ing Magazine. Any healthy person,
with normal appetite, after missing
two or three meals is as hungry as he
ever gets. After awhile there is a
sense Of weakness that grows on one,
and this increases with the days. Then
there comes a desire for great deal
of sleep, a sort Of lassitude that is not
unpleasant, and this desire becomes
more pronounced as the weakness
grows. The end is always in sleep.

M. H. Read has been selling quite
a number of unimproved grove lots
west of the city. There are five
acres in each and they are going for
very low prices. Most of these lots
are being cleared and peach orchards

indeed, there is no excuse for not
owning a grove now, for in some
cases the wood sold off these lots
have paid all expenses.
Base ball questions are filling the

which will hold its own with any
team of corresponding age and size
at least we think so. Base ball is
manly sport if played in a manly
way and we have promising material
here. They only need practice.
