was passionately fond, George Stefan

amensins prison. where he was com.
mitted without bail. His motive for
starting the fires puzzled the police
until a patrol sergeant aud a special
officer located his room. Then the
mystery was solved. In a valise big
enough to be a trunk the policemen
found all kinds Of wonan's things.
Z love women's things" he said on
being questioned. I'D do almost any.

Stefan admitted that he set fire to
many houses; that whila the houses

Mr.. Mailman was very much Ia
ken by surprise and overcome by the
expressions of good will Of his asso-
ciates and with tears trickling from
the old mans eyes he very feeling,y
expressed his thanks and regretted
that the time had come for them to
past as fellow workers and associ-
ates; yet whenever he would sit in
the rocker he would think Of the
many pleasant days he had spent in
the Offices in Morsantown.
Mr.. Mailman leaves this week for
New York, but his family will no.
leave until spring. The good wishes
of all his friends ant acqualntances

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
: a LITTLE TOO EARLY.

q Wherever a small group OF Republi-
cans are assembled these days, one Of
The topics Of conversation Is SIRE 10
be the selection OF a candidate for
governor on the Republican ticket In
this State next year. Various names
are passed in review with side re-
marks for and against and then is
sure to follow the observation! that It
Is too early to open UP that fight. The
experience OF two years ago when the
friends Of Mr.. Dawson and Mr.. Teter
allowed themselves to go 10 extremes
ard nearly wrecked the party is still
fresh in the minds Of the people and
there Is no disposition to make such
an antc.conyentDon contest as that
was. It is all right to talk these
things over and express preferences,
( sum up the elements OF strength and
weakness and take an inventory Of
tie capability and responsibility Of
! the various candidates who will be
before the State convention, but 1t
seems entirely probable at this time
that the people are going TO take q
hand In naming the next candidate
for governor in West Virginia and
that 1t will not be left entirely TO the
politicians and wire pullers. A year
I is a good while for such a subject to
be nppermost in the mind, so 1t is
generally conceded that It Is too early
to determine upon anything definite
MS regards the nominee OF the State
Republican convention which will not
be held before the. summer Of 1908.
