In the Jaws of q Lion.

A lion comes at its enemy at full
speed, galloping low, and dashes a
man standing upright to the ground by
the full impact of its body. Major In
verarity states that "the claws and
teeth entering the flesh do not hurt as
much as you would think" but that
the squeeze given by the jaws on the
bone is really painful. When knocked
over he was still keenly conscious and
felt none of the dreamy sensations ex-
perienced by Livingstone.
Major Swaine, struck down by a
lioness going full gallop, was uncon-
scious for some minutes and did not
know what had happened till he found
himself standing up after the accident.
Il felt no pain," he writes, mot, 1 be-
lieve, owing to any special interposi-
tion of Providence, but simply that the
shock and loss of blood made me in
capable of feeling it. There was no
pain for few days till 1t was brought
on by the swelling of my arm on the
twelve days ride to the coast."-Lon-
don Spectator.

His Card.

Mr.. Newrich, the dust contractor,
having made a fortune, part of which
he had invested in house property in
the east of London, wished to rise, like
a pheniX, from his ashes into some
sort Of society. His golden key, ap-
piled to the Golfers of an impecunious
aristocrat, opened the way.
His new friend, among other things,
advised him that visiting cards were
a necessity, and, as a guide to drawing
one up ready for the printer, handed
him one of his own, which read,
Harold De We're, Iona House, Ports
mouth Square, W."
Two days later, as De We're was sit
ting in his dressing room at breakfast,
a servant brought in on Il salver
visiting card bearing the following:

A Fountain of Ants.

The house | was occupying in India

with many bungalows, the inner walls
were constructed Of merely sun dried
bricks, and in the recesses of one wall
a colony of white ants had established
a nest. 1t was evening. l heard be-
hind me a buzzing sound. | turned,
and from q hole near the bottom of the
wall l beheld q fountain of young
white ants ascending. They reached
the ceiling, and then the descent COM
menced. They alighted by thousands
on the table and there shook off their
wings. In few minutes the cloth, the
plates, the glasses, even the lamp
shades, were covered with the little
white, feeble, crawling creatures. The
fountain of ants continued to play for
at least ten minutes. When, next
morning, the floor was swept the wings
that the ants had shaken off filed a
large basket. What became of the ants
themselves 1 cannot say.-"Haunts and

The Commencement.

The word commencement" enables
orators In frock coats to tell beautiful
young ladies in white organdie that
the extinction of the academic era
marks the commencement of their
real lives" Maybe you have heard
them and witnessed the thrill with
which the notion was received by
blushing maidenhood. 1t is stupen-
dous thought, bulging with originality,
and / suppose it is mean to meddle
With it, even though one knows how
that use of the word commentator
"began," if you prefer. In the old
days degrees or diplomas were not
granted ip June. They were granted
in September, and the seniors of yes
teryear were forced to reinvade the
academic shades to acquire them at
the commencement of the new term.
After awhile it dawned upon our insti-
tutions of learning that the arrange
ment necessitated undue bother, so
they moved the commencement" ex-
ercises back across the vacation and
put them at the end of the year. How
ever, they neglected to rechristen them,
and oratory has gained much by that
inspired oversight-Boston Transcript

The r1ost Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and suf-
fering than any other disease, for the rea-
son that it is the most common of all ills,
and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to
know that Chamberlain Pain Balm will
afford relief, and make rest and sleep pos
sible. In many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary, has become
permanent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on by
dampness or changes in the weather, a
permanent cure cannot be expected; the
relief from pain which this liniment af-
fords is alone worth many times its cost.

A Woman Governor.

Queens have ruled many nations, but
Pennsylvania is the only one of the
United States that ever had woman
for governor. A passage unearthed
from Armor's Governors of Pennsyl-
vania," page 126, says:
"On the 30th of July, 171S, William
Penn died, at the age of seventy-four.
BY his will his wife, Hannah, was
made his sole executrix and assumed
the management of colonial affairs, ex-
ecuting this difficult task with rare
tact and business capacity. she be-

Lion and Unicorn.

The animosity which was supposed
to exist between the lion and the uni
corn, as referred to by Spenser in his
"Faerie Queene," is allegorical of the
deep rooted ill will which anciently ex-
listed between England and Scotland.
Ever since 1903 the royal arms have
been supported, as now, by the Eng
lish lion and the Scottish unicorn in
token of the fact that st. George and
st. Andrew had at last shaken hands
and forgotten their old difference.

who are residents of other states Is
assessed for what It Is worth, at its

placed upon the railroads, proves the

Uncle John Miller.

Hail Uncle John Miller! He's
destined to be a very much talked
about person in the campaign in West
Virginia.
Uncle John" came into promin-
ence last Saturday night when his
nephew, Hon. William E. Glasscock,
at ratification meeting rendered him
by his home folks and neighbors
regardless of party Affiliations, read
a short note of advice written by his
good old hard headed, sensible rela-
tive. uncle John" MiIler's advice
to his nephew is an Incompatible po-
litical platform within itself, and
with rare, fine judgment Mr.. Glass
cock adopted the advice of his old
uncle as a part of his political plat
form. and the guiding star to which
he will hitch the cart that carries his
political destinies.
At his home at Rymer, September
S, 1908, Uncle John" Miller wrote
to his nephew, Hon. William E.
Glasscock, the following rules for his
political guidance. Read them. for
they are destined to figure largely in
the candidacy of Mr.. Glasscock:
Keep a cool head and stiff upper
lip;
Make a clean fight for all the peo-
pie;
steer clear of all factions;
Wear your own collar;
Don't forget. your poor relations;
Fear God and keep his command
ments and you will surely
triumph.
Your uncle.

The Two-Cent Fac Lav.

Every passenger on every railroad
train in West Virginia every day in
the year owes a debt to the Republi-
can state administration, says the
wheeling Intelligencer. Today West
Virginia is one of half dozen states
in which charges for railroad travel
are limited to two cents per mile. In
the great states. of pennsylvania and
New York, states which are many
times richer and more populous than
West Virginia, efforts to secure such
legislation have been ineffective. The
movement for a two-cent railroad
fare In West Virginia was begun by
Republicans and carried through by
Republican legislators. 1t was first
officially promulgated in the Ohio
county Republican platform, and was
endorsed and commended in success
siye Republican declarations in prac-
tically every part of the state.
The two-cent fare bill. was intro
duced in both the House and State
Senate by Republican members, and
it became a law through the sigma
ture of a Republican governor. In
West Virginia, as in the nation at
large, the Republican party is the
party of achievement; it is the party
of practical and successful ideas. 1t
applies to business conditions and the
needs Of the people the sound bust
ness principles on which success Is
based. In four years the Republi-
can party has enacted more progress
sive legislation in West Virginia than
was enacted in a quarter of cen
fury. of Democratic rule. What has
been done Is an earnest of what Will
be done.

his public career have been printed.
They are from prominent Republic
cans and we'll known business men
resident in every county in the state
and representing every faction with
in the party. They show a unanim-
Gus sentiment of approval of Mr..
Glasscock's candidacy. Highly i'm

tribute paid Mr.. Glasscock by Hon.
Arnold c. Scherr, which is as follows:

cock, candidate tor Governor OF
West Virginia, for some years, and
can cheerfully say that he is man
of integrity and has decided ability
which eminently fits him for the posi-
ton of governor of great and grow
ing state like West Virginia. His
Republicanism is unquestionable,
and he has always been loyal to his
party, and 1 believe that if elected
governor he will redeem any pledges
made and be the governor of all the
people, and not only of faction. 1
am also pleased to note that in his
address given out, he says that he
wants a reunited party, and will
have no favorltes, but treat all alike"

Whr Far1ners Are For Taft.


The farmers are rich-never more
so-and they ascribe their riches to
Mckinley, Roosevelt and the policies
of the Republican party"
Thus writes a correspondent from
the Middle West, and his words
doubtless cover the situation through
out all the West. The farmers know
that their present fiourishing condi-
ton is due to the Republican policies
of building up American industry, of
developing and improving every
branch of agriculture and of adding
to the farmers opportunities for self
culture and for keeping in touch with
current events and the markets of
the world by the rural free delivery
system.
The farmer knows that what Re
publican administrations have done
for the farmer cost money, and he
sees that expenditure denounced in
the Bryan platform as unnecessary
and wasteful" Naturally the farm
err prefers the Republican party,
whose policies made him comfortable
and Independent. and proposes to
vote for William H. Taft, the Repub-
Iican candidate for President of the
United States, who with the co-opera-
ton of a Republican Congress, will
continue those policies. and will
