to a gang of Liverpool ruffians: II am

you have been in nine months you get

time he was permitted to abandon his

French Economv.

"a man doesn't have to go to Paris
to learn something about the econo-
my Of French cooks" said janitor.
"All he has to do is to get job like
mine in house occupied mostly by
French families, and he'll learn some
astonishing lessons in the art of saw
ing. Up to two months ago l was
working in a building Of that kind.
So far as attending to the garbage
was concerned, had the easiest time
of my life. There was practically no
garbage. The people lived we'll

ceivcd packages from the butcher and
grocer, but they never seemed to
throw anything away. About the only
thing they didn't cat was coffee
grounds and potato skins and tomato
cans, and there was precious little
waste of even that.
"Wherc am working now the fami-
lies are all American. That is where
the food goes to waste. The people in
that house throw away enough pro-
visions every day to feed all those
French families week."-San Fran

The Bite of a non.

Il want to say a few words about
hydrophobia," said a physician. "When
an, animal bites through clothing there
is little or no danger of infection. The
virus is on the teeth of the animal and
when the person bitten has received
the wound through layer of clothing
there is little danger.
'"The virus on the teeth is left in the
clothing and is not communicated to
the person bitten. Rabid dogs or other
animals are not like reptiles. They
have no hollow teeth through which
poison may be communicated. 1t must
be introduced directly into the system
Of the victim.
Therefore, when supposedly rabid
dog bites a person, if the bite is not OH
an exposed part of the body he should
have no fear."-Washington Post.

Eggs Barred.

One evening a solid looking citizen
carrying a basket, bought a ticket and
started to enter the opera house in a
Long Island town. Just as he was
going in the cover of the basket I'M
accountably slipped off, revealing two
dozen eggs.
"Heyv said the ticket taker. "This
isn't Easter. Where you going with
them eggs?'
"None o y'r business! Here's my

the citizen.
"Well, there don't any eggs go in.
side while I'm here" said the ticket
taker. and then the other saw the rea-
son his burden was suspected and
roared with laughter.
He left the eggs in charge of the
man at the box Office and entered, and
he enjoyed every moment of the show.
When it was over, the manager re.
turned the eggs to him and said:
II was afraid you might put your
foot into the basket while you were
applauding."

A Risino Fall.

A certain member Of the British

acumen; ''they want to make him dis

Mushrooms.

There are several popular tests Of the
edibility of mushrooms which are not
at all reliable. The commonest of
these consists in putting a silver spoon
or coin into the saucepan. 1t is very
often believed that unless the metal
grows black the mushrooms may safe
~ be eaten. The test, however, is alb
solutely unreliable, the sole reason for
the blackening of the metal being the
presence of sulphureous gases, the prod
uct of the decomposition in stale fungi,
whether poisonous or not. Other be-
licfs, more or less local. assert that an
agreeable smell, ringed stem, growth
in open ground, etc., are sure indica-
lions of wholesomeness, but unfortu-
nately each Of these conditions is con-
s1stent with possible danger to life. On
the other hand, it is true that many
poisonous varieties have a very repul-
sive smell, which of itself is sufficient
to warn the mushroom gatherer of his
peril. There seems to. be only two
ways, after all, Of distinguishing be.
tween harmful and harmless fungi.
The first is to study the subject from
the botanist's point Of view. This is
not possible for the ordinary man, who
can always and everywhere rely upon
the experimental method if all else
fails Eat it," said the boy philoso-
pher. IF it's mushroom it won't
hurt yer, an if it kills yer-well, it
ain't."-London Globe.

Won Through
a Dream.
By GRACE BOWEN.
Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated
Literary Press.

In Il lonely shack on North Dakota
quarter section Edith Allen was facing
the problem that comes to all of Ewes
daughters.
A man great in his strength and
mightier in his love had asked her sur
render-had almost demanded it when
he passionately tore aside convention
al conversation and barred his heart
and his hopes.
That she had sent him away without
an answer was not Il negative reply to
his wooing. She had begged for time
to think, space in which to analyze
the emotions surging in her breast.
Moreover. she half thought she loved
him, and because she was a product of
the city and had dug deep In the print
ed philosophy of life she wanted her
brain to sit in judgment on her heart.

Holds Out for Protection.

The best exhibition OF brains the
Charleston Gazette has shown on
the tariff question in a long time
was first one day last week, when IL
complimented Senator Elkins in his
fight in keeping protective tariff on
West Virginia products, when 1t
said West Virginia is not in condi-
ton to desire to try the experiment
of free coal and lumber" and sec
ond, when 1T followed this up sta
ting that West Virginia should not
be one of the unfavored few placed
on the free list.
While the Gazette wants to make
the impression that there has been
no change of sentiment or express
sion on It's part in this particular
from that held by the Democratic
party several years ago, yet its own
statements show 1t to be convert to
the protective policy. 1t honestly
admits that free trade would be an
experiment and it is too solicitous
for the welfare of West Virginia to
believe that West Virginia should
experiment with free trade. 1t
classes all states which may have
free trade as among teh unfovored
few, and. again. 1t admits that the
present tariff builders are looking
so carefully after the whole country
that the states are few. which have
been so unfavored as to have free
trade placed on their products. 1t
admits that Industries on the free
list from this state would be a great
disadvantage to the state. Its effort
to dodge the issue by
saving this would be the
case because there is a tariff in
other states is not consistent with
its pleasure over the fact that West
Virginia was spared from the free
list as two of It's principal products.
In short, the Gazette is Tor pro-
tective tariff and says it is not, that
is to say. it claims that black is
black and that black is not black
This explains lucidly its declaration
there has been no change of senti'
ment or expression on its part.
Indeed, the Gazctte's argument i:
that inasmuch as we are going tc
have high tariff, We might as well
have 1t for West Virginia as 1t is
better than free trade.

Wider skirts Coming.

Harper's Bazar, speaking with its
usual note of authority in all things
pertaining to fashion, says:
Experiments are being made with
long-waisted. plain, tight-fttlng, and
pointed waists to which wide skirts
are added under fine cording. The
width Of these skirts is said to be
from three to five and half metres
or from three and one-half to six
yards. Indeed the skirt of
one new costume which has caused
almost as much talk in Paris as the
earlier Directoire dress is said to
be twelve metres wide tthirteen

hips and trimmed at the foot with
fiounces of pinked silk.

training children from the earliest
period in the way in which they
should go. Girls should be taught
how absolutely essential 1t is for
their own happiness and protection
that they exercise the utmost cir
cumspection in their choice of COM
panions. or the perils to which they
are exposed when they depart in the
slightest degree from high standards
in the selection of their friends of
both sexes they should be frankly
advised. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that American girls, are allowed
a greater degree of liberty now than
their grandmothers were permitted
to exercise their recreations. in
making acquaintance and in receiy-
ing attentions from men. There was
never time when girls needed more
the counsels of parents, their wise
and tender and yigilant care and
guidance, than now. There was new
err time when for their own good
there was greater necessity than
now for girls to surround them
selves with the safeguards of dis

no friendships until they are salts

in the character OF their recreations
and in the selection of their COM

reared in such an environment, who
have not only been shielded from

youth, even under the
best conditions, will have an equip

New Court House Next.

The Telegram imagines it sees the
members of the county court looking
with yearning eyes toward the site
at the corner of West Main and
Court streets. where Judge COTS
modern business block is soon to be
erected. While 1t is valuable and
desirable site, the court doubtless
gets chesty every time 1t makes a
comparison. The Golf ground sinks
into insignificance. when the court
house grounds are considered. The
court certainly feels that 1t has the
finest site in the city and 1t swells
with pride with the thought that at
no distant day the peple OF Harrison
county will have public building
adequate and in keeping with its sur
roundings. 1t would be unjust to the
court to intimate that 1t has no such
thoughts these days. 1t is true, that
1t Is not busy giving expression to
such thoughts hut the air even re-
veals them and the people accept it
as a fact that the court intends soon
to give Harrison county, next to the
wealthiest county in the state, what
the county necds-a new court
house and not one added to or
built over.
Woefully out of date and ag-
gravatingly inadequate, the present
makeshitt of court house gives ev-
cry one sore eyes and has ten
dency to make grouchy those who
occupy 1t and others who have bust
ness there, and its lack of sufiic-
lent room has compelled the court
to so to other buildings to provide
rooms for public officials.
The court and sheriff have done
much to improve the looks of the
building and the grounds but they
can not bring It up to date in that
way. The only way is to have a
modern building, not only modern
but large enough to serve genera.
