big Four combination special

16. and continuing eight days. Each
firm offers special bargains in var

Unable to Kneel.

One fancies that few types OF men can,
from time to time, afforded royalty more
amusement of quiet sort than provincial
mayors of England. "From the Foreland
to Penzance," byClive Holland, contains
the story of a mayor OF Weymouth who,
during one OF the visits OF King George to
the town, was destined to afford "comic
relief to a ceremony of some importance.
The occasion was the presentation OF
an address of welcome to the king, and
we are told that the mayor, on approach
ing to present it, to the establishment and
dismay OF all, instead of kneeling, as he
had been told to do, seized the queens
hand to shake it as he might that OF any
other lady.
Colonel GwyHne, the master OF cere-
monies, hurriedly told him of the faux
pas, saying, "You should have kneeled,
sir"
"Sir, | cannot" was the reply.
Everybody does, sir" hotly asserted
the colonel.
The mayor grew red, and evidently
much upset, exclaimed, "Confound it,
sir, but I've got wooden legP'

The Power Of An Idea.

A man of one idea died lately in Bos-
ton at an age which lacked but little OF
ninety years. He had nursed that one
idea and cherished and educated and en-
riched it, until If became the sole interest
in his life.
The man was George Thorndike Angel,
president of the Massachusetts, Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
the idea was that dumb creatures should
be treated kindly. Taken together, the
strength of the man and the power of the
idea have helped to modify public senti-
ment toward animals all over the coun-
try, and they may not have been without
their influence abroad as well.
Americans do not realize how far ahead
they are of European nations, except
Great Britain, in the kind treatment OF
animals. That this is so is due almost
wholly to the work of Henry Bergh, OF
New York, the founder of the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, and to the work OF the late Mr..
Angel, of Boston. II was the hideous
cruelty which he had seen practised upon
dumb brutes on the Continent OF Europe
that gave Mr.. Bergh the idea to which he
devoted the rest of his life.
Among the concrete things accomplish
ed by these two philanthropic men are
the passage of laws protecting animals
and furnishing cruelty; the law against
docking horses tails, shamefully unen-
forced; the establishment OF drinking
fountains, horse ambulanceS, denicks for
lifting fallen horses, more care in Shoeing
horses, especially in slippery weather.
But more important is the gradual growth
Of public sentiment, which has made in
tolerable sights that a generation ago
would have attracted little attention and
for which there was no legal remedy.
The idea has leavened great lump al
ready. II will leaven the whole in time.

Great Building Activity.

Probably the greatest activity in build
ing ever seen in Berryville will be wit
messed during the coming summer, and it
is expected that the population of the
town will be considerably increased when
new houses are erected, as there are
practically no opportunities for new resi-
dents now, as there are no houses for
rent. Contractor John H. Shackleford,
in conversation with the Courier man
this week, said: cannot remember a
time when the outlook was so bright in
my line as it is today. From present in
dications, | will be pushed to the limit of
speed during the entire summer. am
glad of it, for Berryville needs more resi-
dences, especially for small families. -
Clarke Courier.
This doesn't look as if going dry has
done Berryville much real harm. On the
contrary, driving out the saloons has re-
suited in genuine prosperity.

Governor Dawson to Stay at Home.

Governor Dawson to Stay at Home.
Ex-Governor Dawson will not take the
position offered him by the federal gov
eminent in China. Governor Glasscock
announces that by unanimous vote the
Board of Public Works has employed
the former executive as attorney to assist
the Attorney General in the defense or
the Virginia debt suit. His salary will be
5000 per year. After trip to Washing
ton on business Mr.. Dawson, who will
hang out his shingle in Charleston, will
return there and take up the duties of his
new position. Virginia has already filed
her claims in the suit and West Virginia
has until May 4th to do so. Then the
claims must be proven, and Attorney
Dawson will give his attention to this
work. He was chosen because of his
familiarity with the suit and will prove
valuable assistant to the Attorney Gener-
al and the other counsel in the case. Mr..
Dawson did not ask for the position, but
was requested by the Board to accept it.,
which he has done, and will notify the
federal government that he cannot accept
the oriental appointment.
