"Her Hero" al Winston Hall Fire.

The COURIER is in receipt of the fol-
lowing for publication from an aspiring
young poetess of Clarke county:
EDITOR COURIER:
Since reading in the COURIER Of recent
date your just condemnation of ungal-
liant action on the part of a few fright
ened young men in the recent Opera
House fire in Berryville, it prompted me
TO write these prose verses to one Hero
on the occasion. have thought posi-
bly, you would publish it. Ifso, you will
encourage me TO cultivate what friends
tell me is natural poetic talent.
Miss
The prose verses" follow:
HER HERO
The night wss fair, no clouds at all:
The man stooh meath the burning hall
When sll the rest had fled.
I'll save the girl or die, he said;
And up the stairs he sped
On, on. he went, the heat was great.
One awful fear within his heart
He might now be too late.
He found her clinging 10 a chair,
Her look, one of despair;
He bore her in his strong arms
Through all the clouds of smoke,
Her face was calm and pale as death,
And not one work she spoke
"Oh, Dearie speak TO me-" he cried,
"lf you are dead, wish I'd died"
But then he found her heart still beat,
Though slow and very family.
And as the moon shown on her face,
She looked so pure and ssintly.
She clasped him in her frail young arms
Her head was upon his breast.
you've risked your life for mine"
She said, Now you can guess the rest. :

Repeal Special Road Law.

hCOchIiy Tic NOOkiEk nedTu IL
rumOred that Hon. K. S. Parks had
said that any proposed repeal of
the Special Clarke County Road
Law must bear the o. K. of
one of the Clarke county Off
cials. We could hardly credit
such a statement, but at once
wrote to Mr.. Parks and asked him
for the truth. In a letter to the
editor, dated February 13, Mr..
Parks unequivocally denies that he
ever made such statement, either
directly or by inference, no matter
how far-fetched any inference
n. light be.
In the same letter, Mr.. Parks
makes statement which absolutely
amazes us. He says that with one
exception he has never been seen
or written to in favor of the repeal
of Clarke County Road Law. He
says that he has received letters
from several citizens of the County
asking that the law be not repealed.
Now here is the point.
The editor of the COURIER has
talked with hundreds of taxpayers
in the County, and with the excep-
tion of one member of the Board of
Supervisors and some other gentle
men who are residents of the town
of Berryville, we haven't heard q
single person who favored keeping
the special road law in force.
Every one of them favored the inn
mediate repeal of the law.
Now, if we are to be kept under
the old law, merely because a few
people say so, let's get at it thi.
way:
Get postal card, address it t,
Hon. r. S. Parks, State Senate
Richmond, Va" and write on tn,
reverse side, Il favor the immedi
ate repeal of the Clarke Count,
Special Road Law" and sign YOU
name.
The COURIER has PERSISTENT,
favored the immediate repeal Of tn
Clarke County Road Law, for tn
reason that, under the present pro
visions, the amount that can b
levied for road purposes is kept 5
low that it is impossible to do an.
real work.
If you favor the immediate re
peal of the Clarke County Specia
Road Law, write to Mr.. Parks a
once-now-TODAY.
: He has introduced bill provid
ing for its repeal and the placing @
Clarke county under the geners
State law, and such a bill can easil
be passed, for we are positive tina
Hon. r. F. Byrd will see to it tina
such a bill is passed through tn
House of Delegates without bein
filed" away in committee for
third of a century. Mr.. johnson
our delegate, is sick, but Mr.. Byr
will give US "a square deal"
On account of the prominence {
Mr.. Byrd (who was unanimousl
elected Speaker of the House {
Delegates), we have the best chanC
for the enactment of laws for ii
good of this section of the Vale
that has probably been presente
since the civil war.

Simple Rules of Health.

Never pick your teeth with any hard
substance Bar the pick unless it is
made of soft white pine. Repeated use
of hard pick drives the gums away
from the teeth, and pretty soon you
are victim of Riggs disease. After
the meal pick your teeth gently, then
rinse out your buccal cavity with an
antiseptic solution of tepid water. Aft
er rinsing use gargle to clean out the
throat-a solution of salt in water.
Wash off your tongue as far back as
you can reach and scrape the root of
it once in awhile with an instrument
of silver made for the purpose. And,
above all. never put anything into your
mouth that does not agree perfectly
with your stomach. if it is expected to

STRANGE Uses For Churches.

There are cases innumerable of
churches being used during England's
civil war to accommodate the horses
of one or another regiment of the op-
posing troops. Dedham church still
shows traces of Puritan vandalism in
the mutilated sculpture. The oak door,
at one time deliberately decorated with
small carved figures of saints, now
shows the figures without their heads.
And there is the famous case of Notre
Dame at Paris, which during the days
of the Revolution was converted into

With Cupid as Chauffeur.

The road lies white beneath the light
OF rising honeymoon,
And the rushing sound as the wheels syin
round
Swings into an old love tune.
And every rut on The road of life
Is seen through a rosy blur
But there's never fear that the way's
not clear
With Cupid as chauffeur.
And little they care if the neighbors stare
AS they speed through the land of
dreams,
While the old love light as signal bright
Ahead on highway gleams
And there's never hill of care so steep
But succnmbs to the gentle stir
That is bound to start in lovers heart
With Cupid as chauffeur.
So speed they may on their primrose way
To Arcadian lands afar.
May they travel fast Till they step at last
In their wedding touring car.
And grant them this oh, lad who feels
A love that is strong for her
May the ride extend to the journeys end
With Cupid as chauffeur.
