HIS LIFE FOR A HAND.
An English Legend Of the Time Of the
Crusaders.

In little town or village In Glouces-
tershire there II a church which
contains the mortal remains OF one OF
the old crusaders. In moldering ef-
figy he Is depicted on the tomb. while
by his side In cold eloquence is imaged
the form Of his wife. Ii will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image is bereft OF one Of the
hands, and the story runs that the
crusader while fighting In the east
was made a prisoner Of war and
brought before Saladin, who. before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him IL there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
yovng and would leave n newly we'd
ded wife, who would bitterly mourn
his loss.
"The love Of woman is as fieeting
breath" retorted the sultan. "Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. "Weli, then."

oath as a soldier that II this mans
wife will cut Off one Of her hands and

The Wpshur Republican comments
as follows on the subject:
II. Roy Waugh will represent Up
shur county in the next House OF
Delegates. He is scholarly Young
man, full of vim and ambition. He
was given the nomination without
opposition. His record as prosecute
ing attorney is an enyiable one. He
is lawyer of ability, forceful
speaker and we'll qualified for any
position. He has risen into recogni-
ton by his own personal efforts, and
without opportunity. He is conced-
ed to be enc of the strongest cam
paigners in this part of the State and
Is always ready 10 do service for his
party Some fruits OF his work in
the last campaign can be seen by
looking TO the results in Pocahon-
tas county where practically the
whole Republican ticket was elected
by large majority when the county
was hitherto Democratic.
In upshur he being an acquaintance
Eof Glasscock was possibly the first
man TO put on the armor in behalf
OF the goyernor-elect As is we'll
known Upshur county elected the Re-
publican ticket from Taft to Con-
stable, not Democra; elected with
in the county borders. In his home
campaign our brilliant young friend
was most active campaigner, ana
no man has a better claim for Taft's
l,726 majority and Glasscock's fall
ing behind the president much less
than one hundred votes than he. He
is in the fight for the speakership.
lf he is elected the lower branch of
our state lawmakers will have as its
presiding officer an honest, capable
man and both he and his county de
serve the recognition and honor.

The candidacy Of II. Roy Waugh,
of Buckhannon. for the speakership
of the House OF Delegates Is loom
ing up big, a number OF newspapers
commenting in high terms about him
and many persons urging his cleo
ton. A short sketch of him is not
amiss at this time.
Mr.. Waugh was born in ,Upsllnr
county about 30 years ago and he
attended the district schools and
taught in the same. He was gradu-
ated from the Wesleyan Seminary at
in 1901. having complet-
ed the normal. scientific and classical
courses. Without means he taught
to acquire his education. He was
superintendent of the Sutton schools
two years and finished at the West
Virginia University in 1901.
While YET in school he was nomi-
mated for prosecuting attorney by a
big majority over Two experienced at
torneys. His record as prosecuting
attorney was enviable. He declined
denomination to enter upon the gen.
eral practice of law and now enjoys
a good outside practice.
. Mr.. Waugh was nominated with
out opposi;ionsfor the House of Dele
gates and Upshuiscoun;y is proud OF
him and is geographically pushing his
candidacy forspeaker. HeSis hard
campaigner and dueing theAast CAM
.paign he worked nnder the direction
of the State committee. doing efrec-
tive service in Pocahontas county and
elsewhere.
Upshur county cleaims it is en-
sitled to ne heard and asks for the
speakership. The Republicans there
want recognition and will appreciate
the election of Mr.. Waugh to the
speakership.
