It is stated on good authority that each member of the West Virginia Leelsiature when he arrived at the state Capital was handed a circular containing these two questiens: $
 How many of your ancestors are filling drunkards' graves?
 Will you vote for State wide pro- hibftion or be damned?

 fl genuine poesy that have de: lighted lovers of the divine gift What he might have done under favorable conditions and in more matured years can hardly be imagined; what he really accomplished will live as long as men and women enjoy true poetry.
 Now. when honors are being hsaped on his name. and monuments erected to his memory, 1t Is genuinely pathetic to reflect on the cruel and bitter life that fate decreed for him. and we may also reflect that a little of the money that Is being spent to honor him would have made his life an easier one would have warded off the bitter bangs and suffcrings that. came to him and to the child-wife he loved so well. and whose early death was no doubt caused, or at least hastened, by the privations and actual want that she was compelled to endure. When we reflect on ,s the big prices now paid for ordinary poetry, and recall that the finest writer of verse was often in actual want and com pelied to see his loved companion suf- fer for, the actual necessaries of life we can to some extent appreciate what difficulties heinmed him about and hampered his genius.
 And so. if Poe had faults the mantle of charity Is broad enough to cover them. but his virtues. his genius and works will stand out brightly while real genius is appreciated, The hon. ors that are; being paid him today are but. a part of what he deserved.

 President Taft will come into ofIlce as the successord of President Roose- welt not only as an official. but as party leader and as the exponent or certain great policies. He was nomt- mated and elected on the record of the Roosevelt administration. which he es- poused and he stands pledged to con tinue the Roosevelt policies. He will conduct his administration according to his own methods. of course, but those methods will necessarily aim at substantially the same results for which the incurbent president has striven.s Perhaps the men who are making it hot for Mir. Roosevelt In the last days of his administration hove to fntimidate Mir. Taft. If this be the purpose, these men have not taken MT. Taft's measure. Mir. Taft will have his. own way of urging his policies and pressing them into public notice, but he will not lack courage. He has shown more than once that he Is even beyond the reach of those who urge political expediency, when such urging has confiicted with his personal con- victions of right and wrong.
 Rochester Evening Times.
 f The existence of such a treacherous spirit within the Republican circle at Washington is a menace not to Roose- welt merely; for in a few weeks his responsibility will be at an end. The menace Is to all the honest imputses of the Republican party, and, unless eliminated, 1t will make g mockery of the cinfidence and expectation vested bv the American people in the admin istration which Is to follow. If in spite of his unequaied personal popu. larity, energy, and initiative: Coionei Roosevelt should prove unable to es- cane such a snare set by hostile in auences within his political household: how, except by demonstration of public sentiment rallying unmistakab- . iy to his support and tearing to shreds the flimsy artifices of his critics can the administration of Tart pc sate' guarded?

Cheerful Comments.

The first sea serpent Of the season
was not only seen, but captured, on
Tuesday, off Montauk. Long Island.
This is the most accommodating sea
serpent that has been around for long
time the only regrettable feature being
the fact that it wouldn't allow itself TO
be taken alive. 1t could have made good
wages at any seaside resort had it pos
sessed sufficient intelligence to have
looked after its own interests. The sea
serpent, however, cannot be blamed FOR
what il doesn't know. While other AMI
mails have been trained in recent years
to almost human developments, the sea
serpent has ever been so shy and evas-
i've that he has never had a fair show.
And when he is just about to have
fair show, or make a fair show for
somebody else, he refuses to submit
gracefully and go on the circuit. There
is no doubt that the average sea ser
pent fcought be taught to do many
things If he could only be coaxed into
captivity. For instance, he might be
taught to tow the swan boats in the
publb gardens Of Dc high diving stunts

Some Beautiful thoughts.

Beware of that bane of social life,
evil speaking. Pray for the spirit of
love, which is the spirit of truth-for
you never can know anyone without
sympathy or love, and take care how
you speak of those you have not yet
learned to love. Never talk of others
faults, without necessity, and avoid
those who do.
Let US count up the many blessings
we have, which so many others have
not Even in what seems 20 US the
happiest lot, there is always some hid
den sorrow or care, which, if we only
knew it, might counterbalance all the
ease and comfort which we are tempted
10 envy.
Books are the windows through which
the soul looks out. A home without
books is like a room without windows.
No man has a right to bring up his
children without surrounding them
with books If he has the means TO buy
them. 1t is a wrong to his family.
He cheats themi Children learn to read
by being in the presence of books. The
love Of knowledge comes with reading,
and grows upon it. And the love of
knowledge in a young mind is almost
warrant against the excitement of pas
sions and vices.-Henry Ward Beecner.
has been more tempted, more tried than
your own; believe that the lives higher
and better than your own are not so
through more ease, but more effort;
that the lives lower than yours are so
through less opportunity, more trial.
Mary r. 5. Andrews.
Trust in yourself. and you are doomed
to disappointment; trust in your friends
and they will die and leave you; trust
in money and you may have it taken
from you; trust in reputation and some
slanderer may blast it, but trust in
God, and you viii not be COMPOUNDED in
time or eternity.-D. L. Moody.
As long as it is possible, kiss the chill
dren goodnight after they are IN bed;
they like II, and it remains in the
memory for years after you are dead
and gone.
In the course Of our reading we
should lay up in our minds store Of
goodly thoughts in we'll wrought
words. which should be a living treas
ure of knowledge, always with US, md
from which at various times, and
amidst all the sitting circumstances.

Ii is not at all uncommon to find
the skin on the back OF the arm;
from the elbow To the shoulder ex-
tremely rough, having the appearance
Of sort of a permanent ''gooseiesh.''
In almost all cases this is due to
carelessness in drying the arm after
bathing.
Sometimes it is caused by not
rubbing the arm briskly enough when
washing.
1t can be easily gotten rid of by
bathing the arms and using friction on
them and then drying them thoroughly
Now rub the spots with a cake of
toilet pumice.
Finally massage cold cream into
them to prevent any irritation arising
from the use of pumice stone.
If this treatment is followed once
every day the rough spots VIII soon
have disappeared and the skin will
be soft and smooth.
