This is the time of year when a
man goes home to lunch, and finds
that his wife has called in a helper
and turned the house inside out dur
ing his absence, and is now throwing
it out at the window. A big dish
pan full of paste occupying the cent
or of the dining room table, is all
that looks like anything to eat. AS
he stumbles around among the disar-
ranged furniture, barking his shins
and knocking down books and brio
a-brac. he is coolly informed that
"lunch won't be ready for an hour
and that if he can't wait he can grub
around in the pantry" This gentle
admonition is conveyed in such stern
and incorporating terms that he
hikes, and does not return until the
earthquake is over and things have
again resumed their normal condition.

PARENTSDAY
AT Public Schools Enthusiastic
Occasion.

In response to the invitations sent
out by the pupils, large number of
interested patrons and friends visited
the Point Pleasant school last Friday.
The invitations sent out we're written
by the pupils themselves, thus giving
practical application to the instruc-
ton received at school.
In the various rooms there was on
exhibit large amount of work in the
different school subjects, showing as
nearly as could be the kind and quality
of the work done during the previous
months. Drawings, compositions,
geography, history, paper cutting,
etc. were tastefully displayed. I'm
usual interest in the work was mani
tested by the visitors, and express
ions of admiration and satisfaction
were heard on every hand.
An interesting feature of the pro-
gram was the FIRE drill, the building
being cleared in so seconds, despite
the fact that the building was throng-
ed with visitors, and other conditions
were extraordinary and unfavorable.
To the observer it seems that the
day was highly profitable to the
school.

VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY.
Two Boys Find Body of Man
Near Lock SIX.

With injuries on the head indicat-
ing that he had been the victim of
foul play, the body of an unknown
man was found in the Kanawha river
Thursday evening at Lock six.
Evidently the body had been in
the Kanawha for several weeks and
was badly decomposed, but not to
such an extent that it was impossi-
bic to discern that the unknown had
probably met a violent death before
the body was placed in the waters of
the Kanawha, probably to hide a
murder mystery.
About the pnknown's head were
numerous injuries. Thele eye was
out and the frontal broken down.
Three holes were found in the back
of his head, one hole behind the left
ear, the nose broken and long
abrasion on the left side ofthe head.
Every Indication and circumstance
connected with the finding of the
Aoater point to murder. The injur-
les we're inflicted before the body was
placed in the river. While the of
fcers believe the unknown man met
with foul play, there is not the
slightest elew that would lead to his
Identification.
