States Senator stephen B. EIkins

with peIf The Telegram ventures

tightest financial propositions 1t ever.
ran up against. If it would turn Re
publican and try to bleed him.
Most and likely all Republican
newspapers will agree with the Tel
egarm that Senator Elkins's "bar'1''
has never come their way II the
Times does not believe this, it is
welcome to make test case.
Republican newspapers have sup
ported Senator EIkins through party
and patriotic motives and not for
any of his coin. They recognize his
worth the same as the people Of West
Virginia do-not his money worth
but his worth as a leader and states
man, as well as his unexcelled worth
as a citizen. The venalityN suggest
ed by the Times is not only unjust
hut also unprofessional and provokes
the severest censure.
Republicans of Monongalia county
several months ago formed a new Re
publican newspaper at Morgantown
and have been issuing it ever since.
1t did effective service in the cam
paign recently ended and 1t shows
substantial business progress. The
venture has met with such success
that those back of it see in it per-
manent business, and, in order to
guarantee permanency, or at least to
place the paper on still more sub
stantial basis, it's owners have de-
was this that caused the Times to
take mp again that rainbow chasing
John ]. Cornwen so severely con-
dennis the Democratic party for. The
Times looked at a full moon and be
came radiant with the thought that
Senator Elkins intended to establish
n chain OF newspapers. which he
would control absolutely. The Times
idea was so brilliant that it dazzlea
the eye with it's righteousness.
Replying to the fancy of the Times.
the MOrgantown paper, to which the.
Times alluded, says in tones that
need not be misunderstood:
The Republican is Republican
newspaper. 1t was established here
because n Republican paper was
needed in this county. It is making
its own way and the income which it
has from it's subscription list and
from its advertisers is paying all the
bills. 1t stands on its own merits.
1t does not represent any politician
or any corporation. 1t stands for
the Republican party and the support
which It has received comes from
loyal members of that party who
have not only had to fight Democrats
but who have had to combat treach-
cry from members of the Republican
party who would do better If they
got out of the organization and thus
permit the Republicans to run their
own Internal affairs to suit them
selves.
At all times Senator Elkins will
get square deal from this paper.
He will be treated as a Republican
U. S. Senator ought to he treated by
a Republican paper. And it will not
cost him a penny.
The idea that paper may be run
as a business proposition and not de-
pend upon graft may be surprising
to the Times and other inquiring
friends hut nevertheless true.

EMERsoN's MEMORY AT FAULT.
Had at Times Almost Entire Lack

Emerson was a notable sufferer
from the vagaries of memory. His BIZ
ographer relates that he met him one
day in Boston, apparently at a loss for
something. and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine" said Emerson,
with a very old and dear friend.

won't ask me her name" and then he
proceeded to describe her as the
mother of the wife Of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so well.
and so on, until his interlocutor
guessed to whom he was referring.
Even the names of common objects
often failed him completely. On one
occasion, when he wanted an umbrel
la, he said: Il cant tell its name, but
| can tell its history. Strangers take
it away"
This failing of Emerson led to a
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellow's funeral, and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin: HE was a
sweet and beautiful soul; but l have
entirely forgotten his name"

product Of the evaporation of the

expectedly. Not receiving an answer
Miss Duryea put forth hand to feel
If there was anybody near.
The burglar was standing within a
foot of Miss Duryea's bedside and she
touched him. She shrleked for help
and the marauder struck her a blow
in the face, which was sufficient to
mark her, but not to still her voice.
The girls screams aroused the
dormitory and the burglar plunged
through a window which he had left
open in anticipation of flight Re

beribboned nighties, took up the chase
Of the intruder. Some were armed
with hatpins. some with books, rats, Z"
combs, brushes, shoes, and others
with rulers, blackboard rubbers and
suit cases. Several in the excitement
chose their feather pillows for
weapons.
But the brigade of flimsily dressed
feminity did not overtake the burglar.
He was too fleet. The chase stopped
at the school gates, and there several
policemen found the young women
shiyering in the cutting night air.
The arrival of the police caused nearly
as much of commotion as the bur,
glar. There was wild retreat upon
the dormitory and the seclusion of its
rooms.
Miss Susie Kingman, preceptress Of
the institution, and her assistants,
who had been foremost in the chase
of the burglar retired long enough
to replace their nighties with apparel
more suitable to the weather and the
presence of the policemen, and then
arranged with the buecoats for the
establishment of a permanent guard
on the grouds.

According to an English newspaper
Aldershot has been much excited over
the death Of cat, and there will prob
ably be much conversation between
the Scots Guards and the North Stat
fordshires. The colonel commanding
the latter was riding down the lines Of
the Scots Guards with two fox terriers.
There was a bit OF a tiff between the
dogs and the cat with three kittens,
and the colonel threatened to kill the
cat. The cat was caught, but escaped
from the hands of three drummers Of
the Scots Guards, who we're looking
after their pets. The cc''nel dis
mounted caught the cat In the fork of
a tree and killed it with his riding
whip. The case against the colonel
was preferred by the S. p c. A. The
Aldershot magistrates who refused to
convict the colonel said in effect:
Guilty, but don't do it again." Now
the question which agitates the royal
long-named society is, what would
have happened if a drummer had
killed the coloners fox terrier. Which
was the agressor?
