rounded by a crowd of other boys
when one Of them, unseen, slipped
up and stabbed him in the back

sharp instrument, striking the

wound. Thus far it is impossible
to ascertain which one of the boys
is guilty, but murder will out"
and the young rascal who committed
the cowardly act is paving his way
to the penitentiary or gallows.

Convention HAN Needed.

Clarksburg is the ideal convention
city Of the State of West Virginia
and 1t is being regarded as such by
nearly all of the fraternal societies
and other organizations of the
State. With its easily accessible To-
cation, excellent hotel accommoda-
tions and numerous other advant-
ages 1t has attracted the attention of
these state associations to such an
extent of late that already there are
twelve or fifteen state meetings
scheduled for the summer season
which is just beginning and there
are more to hear from.
There is one thing, however, that
Clarksburg ought to have to make
It the permanent convention city of
the state. That is a large conven-
tion hall or auditorium sufficient to
house any assemblage that might be
held here. OF course the city does
not altogether lack accommodations
for such meetings but IL there were
a large auditorium the city could
procure about all of the meetings
of Importance that would be held in
the state by reason of overwhelm-
ing popular demand.
An opportunity exists here for the
erection of such a building and
there is no reason why one could
not be made a paying venture. If
necessary other facilities and accom-
modations could be combined with
1t so that reasonable interest
would be insured on the money In
vested without having to depend
upon any revenues from the use Of
the auditorium for conventions and
the like. 1t night be utilized for
an armory, or there might be store
rooms, Office quarters and such that
would insure investors against a
dead outlay If there should be I'M
certainty as to money interest.
Such an enterprise certainly would
bring a handsome return to the
merchants and business men of the
city If they should form a company
and erect convention hall, even
II they would not realize any con-
siderable profit from the money in
vested in the building itself.

His later writings In the field Of
fiction, Kate Carnegie 1.-THE Days
Of Aud Lang syne and "A Doctor
Of the Old School. were not as sue
cessful from the statistical and mer-
cenary point of view as the first, but
brought cheer to many hearts by
their humanity and humor. His
theological writings were more num-
erous, but these also fell short OF
Importance. In fact. it may be said
that he lacked the apostolic IRE
though he had the apostolic grace,
and that the very qualities of heart
and mind which endeared him to so
many prevented his making an IN
delible impression upon the thought
of the age. Too gentle to be a
hereto. too benign to be a bigot, he
was merely unto God sweet SAVIOR
of Christ" emphasizing the truth of
the gospel by his life.

Ian McIaren.

The demise of the Rev. DR.. John
Watson, at Mount Pleasant, Iowa
this week, takes away from this
world another good man who has
done much to make people better
and happier. His death may not be
an irreparable loss to either litera-
ture or theology, says the Pittsburg
Gazette-Times, but it takes away
from each gracious personality
that stood for sweetness and light
amid the strife of venal pens and the
clash OF creeds. DR.. Watson was OF
English parentage, but was educated
at Edinburgh and became intimately
familiar with Scotch character; its
traits appealed to his innate sense OF
humor, and when he began to write
he depicted these traits in way that
met with immediate and widespread
appreciation. He became the Kin
ling of the Kailyard. and his DR.

VnciIlnting F1aw plckers.

Some of the Democratic organs of
the State in their flaw pickings of
Republican achievements are now
bowling about the increased taxation
the big and powerful corporations are
subjected to under the new tax re-
form laws. One remarks that the
taxes are being piled so high on cor
porations that they find it impos-
sible to extend their field Of opera
tions. Before elections these same
Democratic organs were splitting fire
at the monstrous, oppressive, Aide
vouring, trusts and monopolies that
were depriving the poor man Of the
just rewards of his labor, unrestrict-
ed and even protected by the law.
The anxiety the Democratic organs
are now manifesting about the ter
rible hardships the oil octupus, the
fuel supply combine and other
monopolies have to undergo now is
real amusing.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis is holding its third annual SEES
sion at the national capital and con-
siderable interest is being manifest
ed in fits proceedings. Whatever
work this society may undertake for
the battle against the Great White
Plague should be heartily encourage
ed and assisted and the association
should provide means of publicity
that will enable the people to do
what they can to render help In the
fight. Science has brought out the
fact that as in other things the fight
against the spread of consumption
must be directed largely against
the cause and that manner
of living, sanitation, proper food and
care of the body have much to do
with the cause. This terrible dis
ease will be conquered yet and the
society now meeting in Washington
will help to bring the victory nearer
by letting the masses know what to
do by a generous publicity of
methods.

Obituary..

Elizabeth Crout, nee Drafts, was
born May 18th, 1928, and departed
this mortal life Sept. Z, 1907, at the
ripe old age of "a years, 3 months and
26 days.
She was married to Richard Hen
dirk, of Lexington, S. O., in the
month of January, 1850, and many
years after his death she became the
wife of Uriah Crout, of Leesville, s.
c., on Nov. IA, 1878, who preceded
her to the spirit land by about twenty
years. She was baptized in infancy
by the Rev. Godfrey Dreher, who, in
her early youth, confirmed her a
member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran
church.
During her long life she was true
and faithful to her church; though at
one time living more than twenty
miles away, she was frequently pres
ent, and in extreme old age was sell
dom absent from public worship. She
took an interest in all that pertained
to the welfare of her church. But
new ife's battle is over, ife's work is
done, and we trust she is now one OF
the congregation above.
In the absence of her pastor, her
remains were laid to rest in the family
cemetery near Lexington, s. c.. in
the presence of a large concourse Of
relative and friends by Rev. w. Il.
