In reponse to thsse inquiries, Super

following letter:
"In response to your inquiry permit
me to say that by an act OF the re-
cent SESSION OF the legislature, all ap'
plicants hereafter will be required 70

plicants for renewal will take tho *

the other applicants in this regular
examination. ss.s, 4.
(" AS yet no text book has been
adopted on the subject Of agriculture,
but the leading publishers are al put
ting out books. most Of which are
adaped to the requirements Of tae

used are First Principles OF Agr!cul,

APPOINTMENT
Will STAND
QUESTION AS TO ELIGIBILITY OF
NEW PARDON ATTORNEY
DISCUSSED BY Gov
a-+ ERNOR.

CHARLESTON. w. Va. March &C.
Governor Glasscock stated late last
night that the appointment OF H. Roy
Waugh. us pardon attorney, would
stand for the reason that the office
OF pardon attorney had never been
created by m act Of the Legislature.
"The pardon attorney" said Cover.
nor Glasscock, us connected vita
my Office and the appropriation for
his salary comes under the head Of
governors Office. He Is the same as
any other assistant in my Office and
for that reason the constitution does
not affect this case"
The eligibility OF Mr.. Waugh was
questioned because of n provision In
the State constitution which prohibits
n member Of the legislature from &C.
cepting an appolntive Office during
his term of Office. the emoluments Of
which have b:en increased during
his term. At the last session the lcgIs'
lature. increased the salary OF pardon
attorney from $4,000 to $4,000 n year,
and as Mr.. Waugh Is n member of the
house Of delegates It was questioned
whether or not he could serve.

Of July. This could never be proved
By almanac, arithmetic or analogy.
but history proves It, or. has proved It
since 1776. Neteorologlcally. physio.
logically and historically, July Is hot

August, the last summer month, has
81 days, most Of them dog. 1t has
been proposed tentatively to change
the name OF the month 10 D'August.
because 1t is the doggest Of the year,
but 1t will be a long time getting here
because. the almanac Is proverbially
slow and conservative and the moon
! Is about the only thing In 1t that
changes much. 4
September, the first month Of au.
tumn. has 30 days. one Of which Is Of
the same length as tue night that goes
with It. March Is the only other
month that makes similar showing.
In March this is because the constant
winds blow the long end OF Of the
nights, but In September Il is because
the melancholy days have become des.
perate and are ready and willing to get
even with anything. even the nights.
{ October contains 81 days and more
settled weather than any month Of the
year. One might suppose that the
weather would naturally settle toward
the end Of the year. but why It settles
In October, rather than In December.
Is not stated by weather sharps. May
be there's a reason. but who stops to
know why when the weather is fine
and dandy?
s November, the last month OF au-
tumn, has but 80 days and most Of lis
wish 1t didn't have that many, they
are so drear and dismal. Just where
November found such punk lot Of
days nobody knows and wouldn't tell
II lie did. 1t would be discriminating.
I'VE are commanded by law to give
thanks In this month. Otherwise We
would pick some other month. In
dian summer comes In this month;
Angel summer couldn't. ./a
December Is the last month OF the
year and the first Of winter, December
2lst Is the shortest day Of the year.
December has TO have 81 days to bal.
ance the year out because 1t has more
short days than any other month, It
seems like It ought to be the shortest
month. but 1t isn't. Christmas Is one
OF DEFENDERS, and more money Is
spent on It's celebration than on any
other day. or all Of them in the year.
Nobody knows Just how much It
amounts to. but everybody feels like
he had given up every cent he had on
earth. Christmas really ought to fall
on the 2sth Of February. and we think
some time It will. The old year goes
out in December, but nobody knows
where It goes.

a Rhineland LEGEND.

There is a Rhineland legend of three
German robbers who, having acquired
by various atrocities what amounted
to very valuable booty, agreed to di-
vide the spoil and to retire from SO
dangerous a vocation. When the day
appointed for this purpose arrived one
Of them was dispatched to neighbor-
ing town to purchase provisions for
their last carousal- The other two
secretly agreed to murder him on his
return that they might divide his
share between them. They did SO. But
the murdered man was a closer cal
culatOr even than his assassins, for he
had previously poisoned a part of the
provisions, that he might appropriate
to himself the whole of the spoil. This
precious triumvirate were found dead
together.
