The Coming of Spring
By Alice Gay Judd

By Alice Gay Judd There's a hint of spring In the east winds
 blowing And the pussy-willows are peepinS outi There's joyous strength in the tree Sap'S
 flowing And signs of spring are all about. The snow on the southern slopes is melting. And the little brook Is no longer dumb; Even the blue jays are hoarsly Hitting That spring has come, that spring has
 come. Mother Earth's bosom is filled with rejofCing And the tiniest life has lent it's ear To the glad refrain all nature is voioing, Winter is over and spring Is here.

Counterfeiting In The
Big Pen.

Aninteresting story come from
Moundsville that the negro pris.
oners in the penitentiary indulge
in their favorito game of craps
and that they bet real money,
small change. The Moundsville
Echo, discussing recent develop
ment says;
From time to time the guards
take from the convicts any mon.
ey that comes into their possess
ion, and turn 1T over to the war
den to be deposited to the credit
of It's rightfnl owner. A day or
two ago it was discovered that
there was a lot OF queerlooking
coins among the cash contiscated
and this excited u suspicion that
there was something amiss and
an investigation was set on foot,
it was found, 80 the story goes,
that the money was sure enough
counterfeit and that it was also
new and shiny and of a fair quail
ity, and also THAT it was not an
importation but was evidently
made on the premises, orin other
words within the prison walls.
The most searching investiga-
tion thus far has, however, failed
to reveal the identity or the coun-
terfeiters and the location of the
plant, but it is alleged that it ex-
lists and of course of events be
discovered and the guilty parties
brought to book.

Laying Brick at Rapid
Rate.
A Huntington Man Can Put
Down 10000 in One Days
Work.

Huntington has bricklayer
who is without doubt one ofthe
fastest in the business. He can
lay, it is asserted, 10000 brick in
a day. That is laying them in
a pavement. Although 10000
brick will cover an immense area
there are few who will dispute
the mans ability to make good
the assertion of his admirers after
watching him work for an hour
or so.
The man is j. Cunningham, an
employe of Harrison & Dean, and
has been working today in the
alley leading from Ninth to 10th
streets between Fourth and Fifth
avenue. His work has attracted
the attention of scores of people
who marvel at his brick laying
process.
Cunningham can lay brick
faster than five or more laborers
can or will place within his reach.
He can lay them 80 fast that an
average spectator will be put to
it to count themsas fast as he pla
ces them in position and more
than that he can work at just
such a gait for ten hours day.
1t seems to be matter of PRIDE
with him to lay the brick faster
than the laborers can bring them
to him. Sometimes there are
seven of these assistants and in
variably Cunningham calls for
more brick at least once in five
minutes Huntington Dispatch.
Cunningham is we'll know in
this city having worked on our
streets and boarded with Mrs. S.
N. Park.

ANT MASON COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA. WEDNESDAY JUNE III 1908

StonRl brother. Woman from Uht
very twilight of history has had Z
refining effect on mankind, whether
as the energetic impulse leading hin
on to manly deeds or the soft zephyr
like breathing that plays as delicate
ly on the finer feelings of humanity
the master chord of the human heart
She has been at all times the motive
power to great deeds, to lofty and
aspiring thoughts, as we'll as the
soothing balm that tunes the dis.
cordant notes of the lonely aching
heart. In truth she dwells in a
region to which man does not attain
"a pure, moral, serene and religious
atmospher thus dealing with man
in his highest relations, first antici'
.pating and then leading onward mere
civilization.
Woman because of God given power
of intuition can feel deeper and there
fore write closer to the human heart
upon the important ideals of life.
Where Is the man who can write as
close to nature as Ellen p. Allerton,
whose "Walls of Corn" is CONSTANT
ly being reproduced though its au-
thoAS been dead for years2 Where
is the man who can write as sacredly
and as sublimely of love, of home,
and of humanity as Ella Wheeler
Wilcox? Almost without exception
a vain of purity runs through the
writing of newspaper woman. Her
ideals are lofty, and her writings are
conducive to a better civilization.
Her mode of artistic expression is
suited to embody and perpetuate the
true ideal OF national imagination
national sentiment. In these and
other ways woman is an important
factor in newspaperdom.
Centrally speaking, the purpose Of
a newspaper woman should be SINH
lar to the purpose of any woman,
but on account of her increased OPP
portunities she has increased respons-
Utilities. 1t should be her purpose
to raise the standard of ideals in
every way possible. She should en-
courage those features of life which
make mankind better, happier land
stronger. She should discourage all
things having a degrading influence
upon humanity. In my opinion, some
of her special work should be to in
spire and create q happier domestic
life, ahome where love is ever present.;
to teach kindness to dumb animals,
to educate children to higher bust
ness ideals, for God knows we need
them.
The soldier, the sailor, the lawyer,
the churchman and the statesman
may live in the memory of succeed
ing generations by their deeds and
words, but the newspaper woman
will ever exercise power that is
peculiarly hers for all time te:come
and will ever be instrumental In pro-
noting the culture of humanity.

The Cay Kama
Wha Glides.
CBy Frederick w. aoshorn.l

Have you been to the head of the
Valley
Have you needed its loving calls;
Where the spray of the water Is
laughing
And the gay Kanawha fallsr
Have you been to the foot of the
valley9
To the brink of ohio's tidesr
TO the Point, where the valley is
ended
And the gay Kanawha glidess
There's song in the breeze of the
valley,
And the music of birds besides,
And a green in the trees of the valley
Where the gay Kanawha glides.
o, the beautiful, beautiful valleyl
Where the rolicking sunshine glows!
AndJthe niountins slope down othe
water
Whore the gay Kanawha flows.
There are friends on the banks of the
river
On the banks where the willow
grows
And the water birch kisses the ripples
Where the gay Kanawha flows.
And tits there in the heart of the
valley
That MY heart and its love abides-
In the beautiful, hill-bounded valley,
Where the gay Kanawha glides.
And tits there in the heart of the
valley
would lie whenmy life lease goes
In the heart of this love-haunted
valley
Where the gay Kanawha flows.

.Murderers Safe Under
Dawson.
Not One Has Been Executed
Since He Became Cover
ner.

Among the eight convicts rec
ceived at the penitentiary Friday
from Harrison county was con-
demned negro murderer by the
name of Frank johnson, under
sentence to hang Friday, July IT,
IfJohnson drops through the
scattold on that date, or at any
time prior to March a next, he
will be the first man to be legally
executed since w. M. o. Dawson
took the oath as Governor. Dur
ing Governor Dawson's admins
tration there have been probably
six or eight convicts brought to
the penitentiary to be executed,
but none of them has gone to
death at the end of rope.
In most cases the condemned
men have received respites of
from 80 40 80 days, and finally
combinations of sentence to life
imprisonment. Several have
counted their lease on life by the
days cor weeks for periods of
nearly two years, before their SEN
tence were finally eommuted to
lite imprisonment
From the Governors record on
this score it might reasonably be
assumed that he is opposed to
capital punishment. 1t might be
that in saving the lives ofso many
condemned men he was to an ex-
tent influenced by the late War
den Haddox, who is known to
have been opposed to meeting out
the death penalty. Anyhow, tits
not likely that Governor Dawson
will permit the death penalty to
be inflicted during his last few
months in office, after having ex-
tended the hand of mercy to all
condemned who have appealed to
him during the more than three
years he has been in Office.
1t is believed by many that the
Governor will either commute
Johnson's sentence to life inn
prisonment, or grant him respitea
from time to time until his term
of office exires.- Wheeling Reg
