Aside from the custom, 1t nearly al.
ways happens, as you may know, that
the favorite boy who has become a hus-
is always agreeable to his old chums
The more charitable attribute 1t to the
fact that the wife is so charming that
the husband does not care to have her
good qualities shared by the outside
world. OF course there are always
people who look at the other side of
the new relationship. Maybe the wife
has eyinced traits which the new hus-
band does not care to have placed on
exhibition.
Nevertheless there stands out the
frigid fact that the home favorite is
not what he was. If the wife is what
she ought to be the world never knows
why. One of a wife's rights is to care
fully mask the shortcomings of her
liege. People who have the gift OF
looking through a stone wall and tell
ing what is on the other side of it will
tell you in confidence that the boy was
spoiled at home and that when he got
d AOluc VI nlo OWA lnC SDOAAlhS was az
centuated. In fine, the fellow has
grown more selfish. He is not like his
father, whose hospitality had become
a proverb. Have you eve noticed that
the husband being treated of is backed
up In his manner of living by his
blessed mother? If the other brothers
of the family every marry they are
improvements as husbands.
What about the girl who was a IA
vorite at home before marriage? 1t
has never been explained and probably
never will be to the ~exacting that
when a girl marries she acts as If she
knew more about being a wife than
her adored mother ever thought of.
Students of these peculiar conditions
will tell you that II a new wife i'm
mures herself after her marriage 1t is
the fault of her husband. 1t may not
always be fair to the husband, but the
verdict is formed, and it stands until
death or divorce ends the tie that
made one OF two. =

THE MOTHER BOY AND GIRL.
Latter Makes an Ideal Wife, Former
Usually 4 Moody Husband.

Latter MAKES an local Wifey FORMER
Usually = Moody Husband.
In a household where there are sew
eral boys or where there are boys and
girls some one in the circle is the one
altogether lovely. The confession does
not come from the father or mother,
but observing visiting friends to the
household realize the fact before many
calls have been made.
1t is a common impression that the
only child. whether boy or girl, o
becomes aware of his or her impor-
lance at home. To adapt a common
expression, the only child is always
spoiled, and it is not always the only's
fault.
To return to the first statement,
does the favorite boy in a household
of boys make a better husband than
his brothers, and does the favorite
girl make the sort of wife that has
been predicted before she quits home?
To put 1t another way, does she make
a better wife than the favorite brother
makes a better husband7
In a home of boys the favorite is
mothers boy. The other brothers are
not envious of his classification. I'm
less the favorite is an exception to the
rule he has, In the estimation Of his
brothers, an effeminate composition.
The opinion may not always be just,
but the favorite carries the handicap
all his life. or at least as long as he Is
under the paternal roof and under the
maternal influence. Generally the ia
vorite brother is the first to have a
sweetheart. The other brothers charge
this up to the mother. If the sweet
heart has been picked by the mother,
all the greater a favorite he with his
mother. One Of the Inconsistencies of
the situation Is that this favorite is
not always the youngest boy of the
family. If the last born reflects any
of his fathers traits you may be sure
that he is not the favorite.
When comes the time for the favor
lite to stand before the altar he is the
recipient of every attention which the
family can bestow. This is not strange,
for the first marriage In a family is
the event of events, especially where
the affair meets with family approba-
ton. When the wedding is over, when
the rainbow season has passed and the
twain enter upon that period where
better and worse meet on the common
level, when the friends Of the family
watch and wait to ascertain whether
the match was well mated, the test
comes apace.
There seems to be an unwritten law
which warrants a newly married eou-
pie to eliminate their former friends.

The annual stockholders meeting OF
The Hampshire Orchard Company
was held at ,the office of William b.
CornweIl, its Presi lent.
rhe report submitted, showed the
company to be in highly prosperous
condition. Towns thirteen Hundred
acres OF the best fruit land in the state,
the soil being the famous 'chert" to-
nation noted for its fertility. The or
chard is the largestlin West Virginia,
having thirty-eight thousand peach,
and five thousand apple trees. Some
will come into bearing this year and
the larger proportion next year. Few
realize what an important industfy
fruit growing is rapidly becoming in
the eastern section of the SAFE. From
the south Branch Valley aione over
million dollars worth of pea hes were
shipped last year, and the business Is
vet in its infancy. A solid fruit express
uain is run ont, of Romney every
evening, delivering the srut gathered
"A hours earlier, on the New York
market stalls by breakfast time. A
large proportion Of the crop is export
ed by the fast transatlantic Ocean
Greyhounds to London and Paris 1t
is significant that the West Virginia
fruit is rapidly displaclng the famous
English hot house peach in the world
famous Coven Garden market.
A peculiar advantage of tie South
Branch Valley section il that, owing
to its elevation, thefruit ripepsin time
10 catch bare market after the glut
of the Georgia and:other crops is pass
ed. 1t is also immune from the danger
of late fir ,sts.
Some idea of the size of the Hamp-
shire Orchard Companys property
may be derived from the fact that the
company is how preparing to build a
narrow gauge railroad extending for
seven or eight miles over the orchard,
and is insta. ling complete system of
water works.
