"Don't you know any better than to

that this isn't the northern peninsula? ?"
''Sure do" replied Orde placidly.
"Come along here till I show you the
situation"
The sheriff did not reappear. Reed
evidently now pinned his faith to the
troops.
By 3 o'clock the main abutments had
been removed. The gate was then
blocked to prevent its fall when its
neither support should be withdrawn.
Suddenly was heard an exultant yell
from one of the axmen. A brief in

began like the rapid explosions of in

exultant. roaring with joy. rushed into

Orde stormed into the camp.
"Roll out. you river hogs!" he shout

shifts earlier in the night. Roll out,
you webfooted sons of guns, and hear
the little birds sing praise!'
Suddenly Orde had froze in an atti-

~HARLIE'S wanigan, in case you
do not happen to know what
such thing may be, was a
scow about twenty feet long

both ends, was inconceivably clumsy
and weighed an unbelievable number
Of pounds. When loaded, It carried all

utensils, tools and a chest Of tobacco,
clothes and other minor supplies. 1t
was managed by Charlie and his two
:0ckees by means Of pike poles and a
IDng sweep at either end.
The packing began before the men
dad finished breakfast. Shortly after
daylight the wanigan, pushed strongly
from shore by the pike poles, was drift

TALK CAUSED
BY President Taft's Recent
Remarks as to Ohio River
Improvements.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. &C.
Considerable discussion as to the
feasibility OF the plan has been
caused by the Presidents recent us-
terance in Cincinnati. advocating the
pushing of work on the Ohio river so
it could be completed in six years In
stead of twelve which is the best
that has ever been undertaken.
Members OF the board OF engineers
naturally decline to discuss the mat
ter, but it is known that some OF
them, at least, do not consider plan
to complete the work of improving
the Ohio river in six years feasible.
The six year plan sounds well in }
speech, but the men who have to do
the work do not seem to consider it
practical.

AN ADDRESS
BY GOVERNOR

denounced and opposed the new tax
DAVIS; viii they repeal them IL given
chance? They do not say so and
we are confident they would not.
Why? Because the taxpt yers of this
state are paying less by direct tax
alton for the support of their state
government than ever before In its
history Last year it was about $780,
900, this year it will be less, and OF
this 100000 the public service corpo-
rations paid almost one-fourth. 1t Is
true we collected from the taxpayers
a little more than 100000, but more
than $4O5, 900 OF this amount was
turned into the distrlbutable school
fund, and sent back to the counties
for the support of their free schools.
There are few states in the Union
where the taxpayers are contributing
less by direct taxation to the support
of their state government than in
West Virginia, and as we have done
heretofore, we again appeal to you to
watch your tax tickets. If you are
paying too much you can find the
trouble right at home. Compare what
YOU pay today for the support OF the
state government with what you paid
six or ten or fifteen years ago, and
then give credit for the amount you
received as your part of the distribute
able school fund and you will readily
see that never before were your taxes
for state purposes so light
We are taking care of our unfor-
Inmates and criminals for less per
.apita than ever before, and the proof

great deal has been said about
The increased salaries, but no bill of
articulars has been filed to show
what reductions would be made by
our Democratic friends. We increased
the salary of the governor from $2.7OO
to $4,000. of the judges Of the supreme
court of appeals from $4,000 to
$500, of circuit judges from $1,000
to $4,000. and we challenge any party
to go on record in favor of the re-
duction of any OF these salaries. We
took from the secretary OF state his
fees amounting last year to about
$4,000 and gave him in lieu thereof
salary of $4,000 per year: we gave
the auditor $4,000 and receive in fees
from his office more than Sal 900 each
year. believe every officer in the
state, unless it be justices OF the

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, Sept. Ex-Governor William E.
Glasscock, who Is spending several
weeks here for the benefit of his health
has formally made public an ad-
dress to the Republican party in this
state. This address was authorized
by big Republican conference which
was held here last Monday. The full
text of the address is a. follows:
The history of the Republican
party is a record of achievements, of
the solution OF perplexing problems
of legis' alton and execution Of laws
rejecting public sentiment and fol
the public good. The administrations
of President Taft has been conspicu-
Gus in this respect. we can say with
confidence that no party has ever ac-
complished so much in the same
length OF time and no party will to-
day go before the people and advo-
cate the repeal of any important legis-
Iatlon of the last quarter of century
Notwithstanding such laws were en-
acted after a most bitter and deter
mined fight and without the support
of any considerable number of Demo
cratic votes. We especially appeal to
the young men of the country, ant
to students of history generally ant
ask them to carefully Investigate the
records and try to determine What
the history of the country would have
been If the questions solved by the
Republican party and according t.
Republican principles. had been de-
termined by our Democratic friends
and according to the declarations o.
that party as contained in their sew
eral platforms.

Leaning Tower In England.

The famous leaning tower of Pisa
has a rival in the Temple tower Of
Bristol, in England. 1t is a square
tower of early Gothic architecture. All
its parts still preserve their normal
relative positions without cracks or
assures. The tower, which is about
115 feet high, is five feet out OF per-
pendicular at the summit. There are
no records to show whether the incli-

years there has been no change in the

The kiss Of the hand is undoubtedly
ancient and therefore Is not derived
from that Of the lips, but probably the
converse IS true. The hand kiss Is
loosely asserted to be developed from
seryile obeisances In which the earth,
the foot and the garments were kiss
ed, the hand and cheek succeeding in
order Of time and approach to equality
Of rank. But it is doubtful If that
was the actual order. and it Is certain
that at the time when hand kissing
began there were. less numerous grada-
lions of rank than at a late' stage.
kissing of the hands between men
is mentioned in the Old Testament;
also by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The
kiss was applied reverentially to sacred
objects, such as statues Of the gods, as
is shown by ancient works Of art. and
also among numerous etymologies by
that Of the Latin word "adoro," and 1t
was also metaphorlcally applied by
the inferior or worshiper kissing his
own hand and throwing the salute to
the superior or statue.

The Story Of a Statue.

There was set up In the seventeenth
century at Yarmouth. Isle Of Wight.
what Is probably the most curious
piece Of art extant, erected to the
memory Of Sir Robert Holmes. n Brit
ish naval officer Of that period. The
odd circumstance Is that the statue
was not originally designed for Holmes
at all. but for very different person
age, no other, indeed, than Louis NV.
Of France. This statue. finished rs TO
the figure, but in the rough as to the
head, was being taken TO France on
an Italian vessel when it was captured
by a British man-of-war commanded
by Holmes. Upon percelving the I'M
finished condition of the statue
Holmes, with grim humor, compelled
the artist, who had accompanied his
work. to chisel his CHolmesD head on
the kings body. And so it stands to-
day. Holmes was eventually made
governor Of the Isle Of Wight, which
fact accounts for the location Of this
mongrel bit of artistry.
