 IL. T. Cooper is meeting with the same astonishing success in Pittsburg as in other cities. For the past few days many thousands of Pittsburg peo- pie have called at his headquarters to talk with him.

 "On Monday an astonishing number of people called to express their grati- tude to MT. Cooper. Judging from what some of these people had to say to a Press reporter. when interviewed,

 Much discussion ensued as to the feasibility of removing the water works plant to the electric light plant site. but nothing definite was arrived at.
 Manager Chilner made a report as to the condition of the water plant. and said the capacity of the works was l25,000 to l50. .000 gallons per day, and that only one well was in opera tion. That the six-inch well was out of commission on account of pumping sand. and spoke of other repairs needed.

Cooper's claim that the human stom. ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
 One of the most unusual statements was made by Mir. C. w. Woods. of iO3 South Highland Street. He said: For four years my wife was in very poor health. She was weak and thin, with hectic flush and cough. Physicians said she had consumption. and I was inclined to believe them. It certainly looked as though her days were mum bered, and there appeared to be very little ground for hope.
 "'Shortly after Mir. Cooper came tO Pittsburg I began to hear of wonderful results that had been obtained by per sons who had tried his medicine, SO [ got some for my wife. She had taken 1t only two days when she was relieved Of tapeworm 42 feet long. She be- gan to improve immediately-hasg gain ed seven pounds since she began talk ing the medicine. She feels splendid and looks very much better. If any one doubts this statement I would be pleased to have them call at my house and verify 1t.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering.

Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and il is certainly gratify- ing to sufferers to know that Cham berlaiu's Pain Balm will afford relief. and make rest and sleep possible. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become per- manent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, permanent cure cannot be expected, the relief from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many times it's cost. ? and 50 cent sizes for sale by !.

The UnprOdlgal Son.

The president OF a club Of New
York walters said the other day OF a
parsimonious young man.
HE resembles chap they tell
about in Bucks county.
"This chap lived alone with his
father. On the old mans death he
would inherit the farm.
"Well, finally the old man took
sick. His end drew near. The son
sat up with him night or two, eI-
pecting him to pass away, but be lin
gered on.
"On the fifth or sixth night the son
instead of sitting up, put lamp, turn
ed low, very, very low, on table by
the bed and went of to his own room
with the caution:
"'When you feel that it Is all over
with you, father, don't forget to blow
out the lamp"

He went On to cay that he owed his
success to the lawyer. It came about
in this way:
He went TO the course Of lectures
delivered by the lawyer at the law
school. At the end Of the last C.
ture the lecturer took off his eye.
glasses and said he was going to give
the members Of his class some unssked-

Of you have one reason, pome another,

and his engaging manners will win
him clients.

supt MILLER Names Mound Day.

State Superintendent of Schools 7.
O. Miller has issued a proclamation
naming Thursday, October s, as
Mound Day In West Virginia. That
day will be observed in all the public
schools of the State as day to be de-
voted to the study Of the history Of
the Mound Builders, and it has been
planned to raise a fund to purchase
the mound at Moundsville.
The proclamation says;
"As is generally known, there is
danger that the famous prehistoric
mound loc lted at Moundsville in Mar
shall county msy be removed, the
owners feeling that they can no long,
er preserve i at their private expense.
Some time ago | sent letter to su-
perintendents and principals through.
out the State in relation to the pre-
seryation Of this interesting memoir
ial of past age AMI have received
answers from about hundred per-
sons.
The replies to this communication
have been uniformly favorable and
many expressions have been made as
to the best means of raising funds for
the purchase of the mound. Without
going into any details at this time, !
have decided, after consulting with
many persons concerning the matter,
to designate Thursday { October 8, 1908,
as Mound Day, and as an occasion to
be observed in all the schools Of the
State, at which time special study
shall be made Of the Mound Builders,
their memorials, etc. As the object
OF this movement is to preserve this
famous landmark, plans will be form
ulate1 later by which contributions
for its purchase may Oe made, aud
systematic organization effected in
every town and school district of the
State looking to the raising Of funds.
at would be a reflection on the In
telligence AMI progressive spirit Of the
people of West Virginia should they
allow this memorial of the past age to
be destroyed.
Let it be remembered, tn n, that
Thursday, October s, will be set apart
as Mound Day, to be observed by
our people, and on which occ ision an
effort will be made to raise funds 10
purchase this special object of inter-
est.

it is impossible to conceive any agency
that could have cut such cash upon
the surface of the world. All that we
can say is, that life somewhIt similar
to terrestrial life may exist upon Mars,
and possibly also Vsnus. Upon other
planets we may be pretty sure that
there is none.
To come nearer home, how about
the moou2 Comparatively near us as
our satellite is, she yet presents many
problems, Night after night scores of
teles ,opeq explore the moons surface,
and though it is more than quarter

objects down to the size of the City

kuow-that there is none. For long
time pact astronomers have almost
universally agreed that the moon is an
absolutely lifeless body without air,
water, or any signs of organic life.
Quite recently Professor Pickering
and one or two other observers have
shattered this supposition. The
Professor has brought many strong
arguments to prove that the brilliant
white streaks and patches which
show along the sides of the great lu-
mar volcanoes are composed of snow or
ice. He even claims to have detected
the presence Of vegetation. If there
is water and air, or even carbonic acid
gas, there is no reason why there
should not be vegetation, for, though
the cold of the lunar night must be

enough for the growth and decay of
imaginable forms of plant life.
At any rate, it is almost certain
that the moon has more life than we
have given her credit for. Recently,
while observing the little crater Of
Posidonius through very powerful
telescope, the French astronomer, NJ.
Millochon, saw it suddenly disappear
in whitish cloud. The effect is be-
lieved to be due to a volcanic erup-
ton of some kind. The same phe.
nomenon has been observed in two
lunar craters; and, indeed, there is no
other explanation possible than that
the volcanic activity of the moon is
not as yet entirely exhausted.

A SONG OF LIFE.

A traveller on the dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up
And grew into tree.
Love sought its shades at evening time
To breathe its early yows,
And age was pleased. in heights Of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling tWigs'
The birds swee, music bore.
II stood glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.
!,:rle spring had lost Its way
Amid the grass and fern
A passing stranger scooped well
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it in and hung with care
A ladle on the brink,
He thought not Of the deed he did.
But judg'd that toll might drink.
He passed again-and lol the we'll,
BY summers never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched tongues,
And saved life beside
A nameless man, amid the crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word Of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart,
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
1t raised brother from the dust.
II saved soul from death.
o germI o fountl o word of love
o thought at random cast
Ye we're but little at the first
But mighty at the last.
