The Goyernorshin Mntter.

One by one the papers of the state
are coinciding with the Telegram on
tho gubernatorial contest, especially,
as to the declaration several weeks
ago that Charles w. swisher would
be the Republican nominee. one
of the latest to agree with the Tele-
gram on the actual situation. IS the
Fairmont Times. though It might
have thought before that swisher had
the call. On this subject the Times
this week says:
Since Mr.. C. W. Dillon has posi-
lively declined to be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor, there are but three avowed
candidates left in the field. OF
these Secretary OF State swisher is
easily in the lead, and unless some
unforeseen condition arises 1t looks
now as though he would win the race
with ease"

An Appeal to Wake In.

A Fairmont paper complains that
the merchants OF that city are not
out for trade like the Clarksburg
merchants, and. therefore. do not
avail themselves or the opportunities
the papers offer through their adyer-
Using columns. Mark this sentence
in the Falrmont Times: "Clarkshurg
merchants are reaching out for trade
and getting it at Fairmont's ex-
pense."
The Times also says:
III We keep progress with our sis
ter cities We must be as live and up
to date as they. II we are all as rich
and prosperous as we want to be,
then we can AFFORD to neglect the In
atruments that would II properly sup
ported add to the business and riches
OF the community"

The toy pistol and target gun are
being psed again by a number of
youngsters. and the next thing we
expect to hear in this connection is
that some have had their heads blown
on. Perhaps, it may be only an
eye put out, possibly only an arm
shot on. But, that makes no differ
ference, because of the fact that the
boys must shoot. About the best
thing that oonld happen to them
would be to lock them up behind
prison bars.

Lights Needed at station.

The Baltimore G Ohio Railroad
Company with Its magnificent and
, paying system of lines doubtless takes
pride In little improvements as well
as in big ones. But. with busy men
little things of the most useful ma
ture are often overlooked. The
railroad company no doubt felt proud
OF It's new ststion and site of one.
when 1t built the present one. for
there is so much more attractiveness
and convenience about It than about
the old, that no official OF the great
and mastery company could think
OF It in any other manner, and as
suredly not withla look of displeas-
ure.
Yet in beholding and admiring the
work done, the company has over
looked. but not with intent we take
1t. the matter of properly lighting
the west side of the platform yards.
Trains come in at night. Sometimes,
usually so, trains are standing along
side other tracks, passengers, allght.
they find themselves in the dark,
they stumble over trucks and finally
grope their way to the station.
The Telegram feels It. unnecessary
"a waste of effort-to censure the
railroad company for this state OF af-
fairs, and is confident this gentle re-
nrinder will cause the company to
place at least two arc lights there
at once and see to it that the yards
are properly lighted.

wanted a pair Of leather shoes, but they
did not have money enough to buy a pair
because they were very poor. so he had
to wait a while before he could get them.

The Story of Busy Barney

BY Carrie De Vol. Age IL Years, 24OS
North Twenty-E Eighth Avenue, Omaha,
Neb.
Barney was a little Irish boy. He had a
step-father who was very kind to him.
Barney's step-father worked hard for a
living. Guess what his business was was?
No. he was not a barber or a carman.
He was not a charcoal man or a harness
maker. He did not keep a laundry or a
market.
He was a carpet cleaner. He called Bar
ney his partner. That was because Barney
helped him so much. 1t made Barney very
proud.
They took the carpets out on the river on
a barge. They brushed and beat them
well. The work was too dusty to do at
home.
When a cargo of carpets was well cleaned
they would hurrah loudly. Barney's
mother could hear the hearty cheers from
the shore. They lived not far from the
water. A little footpath led them home
from the landing.
Barney's mother would listen and say:
"Hark, now! 1 must be getting the supper
ready. The dearlings will soon be here"
"Tll give them a fine cornstarch pudding
tonight. They shall not starve for want
OF a little good cooking. 1 must see to the
rhubarb tarts, too. I'll give them a feast
for once"
There's the lads scarlet scarf. He's
waving it at me now. l know 1t a mile
off,"
Barney and his step-father would bring
the carpets ashore. They took them to the
owners in a cart. They would reach home
at about z o'clock. Barney's mother would
kiss them both and give them a good
supper. When supper was over. Barney
would play marbles with the boys. When
1t grew too dark to play he would go in.
He would take his book awhile and read.
Then he would go to Miss Lily Whites
party. Do you know what that means2
1t means go to bed.

But one day something happened that

they seemed short to Mildred.
About two weeks after that she be-

One bright September day some girls
and I planned to go walnut picking on
Saturday afternoon, so when Saturday
afternoon came the girls came after me,
and as 1t was cold and misty my mother
would not let me go. SO l went upstairs
into my room and began to read. when 1
heard the door slam. l knew my mother
went uptown, as she usually does on Satur-
day afternoons.
l laid my book down. put my old hat and
coat on, went into the cellar to get a
basket and started for the woods, a half
mile from home. When l reached there I
could not find the girls, so l walked down
till 1 came to bushes OF stickers and poison
vines. l thought l would crawl through on
my hands and knees, but as L did so they
got into my hair, so / pushed through and
went home.
When 1 reached there / went upstairs
into my room, locked the door, took the
scissors and began to cut them out.
When my mother came home / had the
stickers all out, but half Of my hair was
gone.
The next day I did not want to go to
school, but my mother made me go. After
mat l never disobeyed my mother again.
