Invaded by Wolves,

Owing to the severe cold weather
and the heavy SHOWS in the noun
tsins surrounding the town Of.
Davis. Tucker county, wolves have
become numerous and very fero.
oious and it has become unsafe for
people to be caught far from their
homes after dark.
On Monday morning before day
light, Mayor w. e. WeImer went
to his barn, located on the outskirts
of the town, TO look after his teams.
AS he came out of the barn he saw
an animal standing near the door,
but supposiDR it to be dog, paid
no attention to it,
Suddenly wolf sprang upon
him and lecerated HE arm and
hand in frightful manner. After
finally succeeding in killing the
beast, he had his wounds dressed
by local physician and seemed to
be getting along nicely, bnt on
Tuesday morning bis symptoms be-
oame alarming and his friends,
fearing hydrophobia, had him re-
moved to a Pasteur institute at
Baltimore for treatment.

The Pennsboro, w. Va, News,
has the following concerning a
young missionary of Ritchie coun-
ty, who is going to convert the
Indians of South America, and it
is hoped he will have more luck
than the late Sam Bettes, the
cowboy preacher, who started out
few years ago on similar
cruise. The Pennsboro paper
says:
The shanty boat mentioned
some time ago, which is being
constructed by Burleigh McNeill,
of Smithville. is nearing com-
pletion. He is planning to go to
South America as a missionary,
there being some 200 tribes of In
dams in the interior of the Anna
zon regions who have never heard
the story of the Gross and who are
worshipers of the sun; and for
this purpose he has constructed
this boat in which he expects to
set sail during the first high water
tide in April. He will launch the
boat two miles above SmithvilIe;
near bis home, and will drift to
Cairo, Illinois, where he will in
stall his machinery, which has
been ordered from Minneapolis
to that place.
This vessel will weigh $500
pounds when fully equipped; it is
81 feet long, I feet wide and is
built of white walnut and lighted
by electricity, which will be gem
Grated from the current by w. r..
Buckhard's invention, which is
said to be capable of producing
enough electricity from current
that flows at the rate of three
miles an hour, in II hours to run
a three horse power dynamo for
seven hours. He expects to tie
his boat in swiftly flowing cur
rents at night, and thus generate
the power to run him through
the day. He has chosen closed
circuit dynamo in order to pre-
serve his power for days or weeks
if he so desires.

Back Home.
Recently / found this little
poem written by Rev. Steven ID.
Miller, Baptist minister of one
of the Now England states. Early
in life Mr.. Miller was physically
injured, as he grew older it was
necessary for him to seek a warm
er climate, so he sought q home
in Southern California known to
the eastern people as the land of
sunshine and flowers. One day
while thinking of his eastern
home and friends he wrote this
little poem, which expressed his
hearts desire and that of many
others that would go "Back
Home" if they could. Mr.. Miller
died the 11th of this month at the
age of 80. His body is now rest
ing not "Back Home" but at
Ventura by the sea in sunny Cali
fornia.
BACK HOME.
The sun shines brightest
Back home.
The clouds are always lightest
Back home.
The sky is always bluest
Friends are the truest,
And enemies are the fewest
Back home.
We have the toughest weather
Back home,
1t tans you up like leather
Back home,
But suppose it SHOWS and rains
Loving hearts are just the same
And the folks do not complain
Back home.
Some day I'll pack my trunk
and go
Back home,
I'll stand the hail and snow
Back home,
Over mountain, hill and dale,
Ill strike the homeward trail
IF [ go it on rail
Back home.
L can see all my relations
Back home,
They are waiting at the station
Back home.
When the train comes whistling
They will be there sure as sin
There will be joyful din
Back home.
l want to spend my life
Back home,
For there's not 80 much strife
Back home.
1t may seem to you funny
But they are not all for money
And they make life so sunny
Back home.
So I'll wind up my little song
and go
Back home,
TO the people that L know
Back home.
California may be for you,
But with it L am through,
And old friendship I'll renew
Back home.

Huuhes PLAYING Politics.

II Is evident that Governor Hughes
Is playing politics, and playing il well.
He has placed himself on record a.
praising the president in very general
terms. That ought 10 please the pres
idents friends. On certain specific is
sues, however. he has most pointediy
assailed the Roosevelt policies. This
ought 10 please the presidents enc
mics He IL playing both ends against
the middle. No one can say that
Hughes has not gone as far as Taft
in the acceptance OF Roosevelt doc
trinc. But It cannot he said OF Hughes
as II is said OF Taft, that he wears
the Roosevelt collar. Hughes holds
the strategic position. lie has placed
himself In the attitude OF n logical
compromise between those who ncith
"r want ROOscveltE man or ROosc.
yclts policies, and those who want
both ROoseyclt's man and Rooseyelt's
policies. He has endorsed Roosevelt
in general terms. He has assailed him
with veiled thrusts more specifically.
Hughes holds the pole in the repub-
lican presidential race. He is u great
politician.
Against him in this contest is pit
ted the most consumate politician
in American history-Theodore Roose-

presidents message was not intended

ing stands out most prominently;
/. To force the presidents re-nom'

.. To give the republican national
