The PuFed Out Chest.

''The ?ufIcd out chest ls q delusioA which has succumbed to scientific tnow ledge of the human body" said < drill officer. Ut came into existence purely for show reasons or from false analogy It was seen that men derp tn the chest were strong men, and tt.' old drill scrgeants probably agine that by making men throw out tbef chests they would make them stroha az well as make them look strong which Is q complete mistake. Instead of strengthening man, pufflng hi, chest tends to weaken him. as Y throws strain upon the heart We now tell men to be sure and not puff out their chests. If you pnff out v"',r chest and do dumhhell exercise v",' are to hold the breath. That strains :he heart. Any exercise that prevent breathing freely is bad. knotted mus cles are also wrong You see man with immense chest muscles and pey haps you think he is really an ideaii, trained man but such muscles simpl, bind the chest and tia the heart down

No one can deny the beauties of the wonderful story. There is about it that pristine atmosphere of mysticism, that charm of medievalism, that con- stant succession of symbolic utter ances and acts which makes it impos- sible to class 1t with anything modern. and which lifts it to the realm of classic.

Ot Rishop Short. who held the see of St. ASaph. many curious stories are told, Occasionally he put questions to candidates for ordination that appar netly had no connection with the dis charge of their parochial duties. The. tested probably their wit or tact. tw" necessary qualifications to public men but nothing more. One sucb question proposed by the bishop .s the fol lowing: Which has ths greatest mum Der of legs. q cat or no cat?''
 AS might be expected. this created a .it,er, but the bishop would not take . iaush as the answer. and consequently he repeated the question and desired some one 10 solve the problem. At las, one of the candidates. smiling. said "l should tl,!nk. my lord, a cat"

play just as we'll, and the pure air,

PAYS To Do Il. Rignt..

vertising: eff advertising pays at all

Merchants are often heard to complain
that advertising doesn't pay in THEIR
BUsNESSl This is all rot and is very
poor excuse; advertising viii pay in
ANY business, if it is done right and is
given thought by both the merchant
and the ad composer. If it is done in
a hap-hazard, Indifferent way it will
bring similar results. If the man who
writes advertisements for Ivory Soap,
Colgate's Talcum Powder or other COM
modities which are advertised extern
sively in the Ladies' Home Journal at
$4,000 per page, would give as little
time to writing his advertisements as
do many business men he would not

The Downs News man has just about
figured it out right when he says: "The
farmer, if he only knew it, is a little
nearer the kingdom of heaven than any
one on earth. He is sure of three
square meals day and is the only man
who can fence himself in and live in
spite of the rest of mankind. A few
cattle and sheep and fowls provide for
him with food and clothing, while his
fields yield him flour and source of
revenue. So generous are these provi-
sions and so common that hardly one
farmer in ten makes any account of
them, although the ordinary business
man thinks he has done we'll when he
reaches the end of the year and finds
that he has little more than made
ends meet. No one is as independent
as farmer; he does not have to truck
le; if he is insulted he can resent with
out fear of losing trade, and there is
no earthly reason, with the improved
machinery he now has in use why he
should not have an eight-hour day and
such leisure for reading and study as
would soon make him one of the best
informed men of his calling. Why
shouldn't the farmer be all this and
more? Surely he has the possibilities. .

coIoone the Mon.

Everything is being reformed these
days-everything except housecleaning.
Women still clean house in the same
old way they did in old Pharaoh's time.
They still leave tacks on the floor and
buckets of water where baby is sure to
fall into them and sweep the stairs down.
No one seems to have yet thought OF
leaving the water on the floor, putting
the tacl1s in the pail and sweeping the
stairs up, throwing the residuum out OF
the garret window. No one ever sends
the windows down to the laundry or puts
eau de cologne the mop. But some
day there will arise a reformer in skirts
and these things will be attended to-

Wayside Fancies.

My wife laughs at me during the
breakfast quarter-of-an-hour when, in
my hurry to catch the next train,
hit my boiled egg too gently with my
knife and the shell has to be picked
away in pieces. What we need in this
hurry-up land is a lot of hens that
thickness. Then a man can get onto
the stroke and stop this facetious
levity.
The fellows who have to live in the
city fiat, always pretend to like it
immensely, joking the suburbanite on
chasing trains and wading through
the mud. to the post Office. Let 'em
joke. Poor devils, they don't know
the ecstasy of being awakened every
morning by meadowlark.

Few men ever repent holding their

ArcGraw for Bennett.

The Taylor county Endorsement of
Louis Bennett, where John T. Nc
Graw was In control and "A. j. WIKI
inson for the Chiltons and Little
page routed, reveals the fact that
Bennett is the McGraw candidate.
las Bennett is far in the lead In the
race, the present indicates that Nc
Graw is to be the victor as usual over
the Chiltons, who have been striving
hard the last several years to de-
throne him.
But the revelation at Grafton fore
ed by the action Of Wilkinson, may
have bad effect on Benefits candi-
dacy, as it was not definitely and gen.
orally known that he was the Nc
Graw choice.
Col. McGraw in showing his hand
did Bennett no good service, but
Wilkinson was making 1t so hot for
him that personal action on the part
of McGmw was deemed by him
necessary to give his own county to
his own candidate.
Though Wilkinson did not win in
Taylor county, he doubtless finds
much satisfaction in having made Nc
Graw show his hand, resulting from
which may be much harder fight
against Bennett than heretofore.

IN Glass Prices
Lafayetle, clarkgburg. w. va.

Lafayette, Clarksburg, w. Va.
The report is signed by Walter r.
Jones and w. T. Palmer for the
manufacturers, and Ed Herbel, vice
president, and C. l.. Tarr, SECRETARY,
of w. A. Coy attached as accountant.
A foot note attached to the report
signed by Messrs. Herbel and Tarr,
reads as follows:
we, the commissioners represent
ing the workmen, recommend that
last months wages be nlid. by those
plants that wish to operate during the
rest OF the blast for the reason that
the above cut will make the wages
so low that we are of the opinion
that large majority of the men VIII
refuse to, work at such wages.
Some manufacturers have agreed
that the wages shall be no lower than
last month. and some have expressed
themselves as willing to make suffic
lent inducement to the men to hold
them for the reason that they, the
manufacturers. believe that the price
of glass will warrant such action. and
especially should number of plants
count of a shortage OF men. A con-
dition of this kind Is just what the
American is trying to secure"
Nothing definite is known regard
ing the probable result of,the second
ballot now being taken by the win
dow glass workers. but Is rumorsd
that President A. L. Faulkner is
making a strong run and many Of his
followers predict his reelection. The
result OF the first ballot was given last
week by the Commoner and Glass
worker. This ballot showed that
Faulkner led his nearest competitor,
George L. Perkins. by over 800 votes
and his supporters figure that unless
the entire opposition centers its
strength on one candidate, the pres
ent incumbent will land awinner.
