"The Shepherd Knoweth His Sheep"

A noted divine in Washington was con-
stantly urging his flock to be more soci-
able, and to give hearty welcome to
"the stranger within the gates" not for
getting to maintain proper interest in
the members of their own households.
After one of his most effective sermons
on his pet theme, he went to the door as
usual and began to shake hands industri-
ously with the people passing out after
the service.
He was much interested in a well-dres-
sed and intelligent looking young girl,
apparently stranger, and greeted her
heartily.
IT hope we may see you often here"
he said. eve always have awarm well
come for new faces"
''Thank you, sir, she replied modest
ly.
EDO you live hereabout?" he went on.
The girl looked at him with puzzled
smile. eyes, sir, do"
''Will you kindly leave me your ad-
dress, and my wife and will call on you
some EVENING"" he said.

To pledge her troth to John.

Just as to US before.
With beaming eyes declared she'd be

with him in the homeless Goldfish box,
come the hake and the cusk, both rated
as inferior fish, though it is hard to see
why. The cusk in particular is esteem
ed by the fishermen for their own use
above any other fish that is taken from
the travis on the banks. Go down into
ask the crew, while they "mug up" if
they like baked cusk. You will see their
mouths water and their eyes shine in ap-
probation of the suggestion. Yet the
cusk is hardly beauty. In fact, the
first man who suggested eating him
must have been hungry or else adventur-
GUS beyond the common run of men. If
YOU will take bilious looking eel and
compress him lengthwise till he becomes
a stubby bunch, put on him pair of
yellow google eyes that stare madly as
if at ghosts, and seem withal to be
sadly afflicted with strabismus, you will
have the beginnings of cusk. Then he
must have broad fin that begins at the
back Of his neck, promenades his spine
to and including his tail and returns be-
meath him to the spot where some people
wear neckties. That is a part Of the
paraphernalia of this denizen of the deep
sea. Often when brought to the surface
this peculiar fish will swell up with i'm
prisoned air until he is enormously fat
and covered with blisters.
The cod and the founders, cunners and
pollock will make up the bulk Of your
catch as you drift along these under-sea
moraines, though now and then a freak
may come to your hook in the shape of a
dogfsh or a skate. These are to be
looked for and welcomed. Once the
horse mackerel struck into Massachu-
sets Bay. These weigh thousand
pounds apiece and take live fish of con-
siderable size on the fly. In those days
a deep-sea fisherman, hauling in a re-
spectacle cod, was likely to find adven-
ture enough with the situation suddenly
reversed and horse mackerel hauling
in the line with the fisherman on the end
of it.

Why Men Wear Trousers.

No living man Of this age deliberate
b chose to adopt trousers. he was
forced into them and all other eccen-
uicities Of dress by woman. In the
very earliest sartorial experience OF
every man he is swathed in a queer
bundle Of incoherent bandases by o
woman. Later she puts him into cute
little dresses so that the neighbors
can't tell him from his little sister.
Still later she cuts OF his curls and puts
him into knickerbockers. and he puts
on 'lonS pants" when she gives the
word and not before. That is all that
man has to do CT ever had to do with
wearing trousers. Woman forced him
into them in the first place. and now he
is afraid to wear anything else for fear

Pierce Resignation.

But the war continued until at the
instance of the governor, Col. Pierce
was asked to resign. Pierce has re-
fused and from his home in Preston
county comes the report that he will
fight to hold on. And here it might
be said that the adjutant generals
Office is on the trail of some others
whose conduct is alleged to have
been unmilitary. Politicians will
likely take hand and this threatens
the destruction of the guard.
So far as has been learned here
none of the officers will take part in
the Pierce fight. And in this lies
the hope of the organization. The
governor is not much of a steam
roller man, but he has set out to do
certain things and intends to carry
them out, even though the militia
becomes matter of history in the
state. For the present the governor
has succeeded in having Captain
Eaton, of the United States army,
detailed with the guard and has
given him charge of the adiutant
generals Office. But the nextmonth
he must return to duty with the cadet
corps as the unworthy, unless the
governor succeeds in having him de-
tailed longer. With this end in view
the governor will make a trip to
Washington perhaps this week and
if he fails the Office work will be
placed in the hands of another, most
likely Capt. Pratt, who has the repu.
tation of being most efficient officer.
Then if the officers of the organiza.
ton show willingness to get down tt
business and lay aside petty differ.
ences, the governor is the warn
friend of the guard. Otherwise
with a stroke of the pen, the militi,
may be changed into a memory.

DESTRUCTION
THREATENED OF The WA. GUARD
HAS REACHED A CRITICAL POM.

A dispatch from Charleston has
the following concerning the rows
that have recently disgraeed the
West Virginia National guards:
Just what is to be the future of
the West Virginia National guard IS
a question which IS causing anxiety
among those members of that or
sanization, who have given much of
their time, and in many instances
have spent their money, in bringing
the state militia up to point of
efficiency which has caused it to be
heomplimented highly by United
States army men and made it the
envy of some of the other states. A
critical period in the guard has ar
rived. Will the officers of the guard
become mixed up in factional fights
to the extent that Governor Glass
cock viii cut off the entire organiza-
ton or will they lay aside their petty
differences and assist the governor
in keeping it up to its present high
standard, with politics left on the
outsides
Though the governor is not him
self military man, he wants to be
friendly to the militia. While a
visitor at the encampments last
month, he formed most favorable
impression of the two regiments of
infantry, which constitute the guard
of the state. He is familiar with the
fact that many of the states best
citizens are connected with the mill
tia, that the company commanders
are particular to get only good men
into their companies. He realizes
that at almost any time the occasion
might arise when at least part of
the militia would be needed and
needed badly.
But the governor of West virginia
has too much to look after to be con-
tinuously worried by the petty DIFF
ference of a few men. No other de-
partment of the state government
has worried the governor fourth
part as much as has the adjutant
generals Office, since his inaugura-
ton. There was the fight for the
Office of adjutant general which mar
rowed down to two men, General
Burlew and Col. Pierce. Most of
the officers of the guard endorsed
Pierce, not that they had any OBJ
lection to Burlew, but because Pierce
was coming up from the line. Bur
lew won and most of the members of
the organization were willing to ac-
cept the will of the governor. Col.
Pierce, a representative of the First
regiment, and Capt. ]. l. Pratt, rep
resentins the Second, were placed in
the Office to look after the detail
work.
