WSON WANTS 1T.

II is stated that he Is seeking the posi-

successor until Mr.. Taft takes his office,
by which time Gov. Dawson's term will
have expired and he will be eligible 20

stood to be opposed 30 the governors as
pirations and II Is said they will urge
upon the President that he appoint the
new collector this week, which would be
equivalent 10 advising the President
against appointing Dawson.
The fact is the appointment lies now
between George Work, the sistersville
postmaster, and Fred Paul Grosscup, Of
Charleston, neither Of whom is a chronic
oficc-holdcr. II seems likely that one OF
these two will be appointed to the Office
soon. Virgil Highland, Of Clarksburg,

Pretty new sewing bags are made of
silk bandannas. finished at the top
with n wooden stick which Is run
through casing. These sticks are fiat
like those used In window shades. and
the bag made with them is far easier
TO keep In order than are those pulled
up by the aid OF ribbons. or course
ribbons are used on these new bags.
but they are run through bone rings
which are sewed to the top OF the
casing.
These bone rings are a great i'm.
provement over those OF brass, which
were formerly used. The latter always
became rusty at the seashore and
never were neat and pretty like the
bone ones. The bone rings may be
purchased for about cents a dozen,
while the sticks may be procured for
little or nothing. Have n hole punched
at each end OF the stick through which
II may be tackled IN place to the mate
