Poems by Heine

Heinrich Heine was born at Dussel-
dorf, Germany. Dec. 13. 1899. Some
of his poems are as pure and perfect
as the finest CRYSTALS. and are INDY
ing, and the immortality of these will
1eaven with their imperishab1e essence
the whole mass of his writings But
Heine was not poet alone; as a wit
and humorist, his sayings and opin-
ions have charm unrivaIed in the
history of literature.
The following two poems will give
English readers q fair example of
Heine's manner when in his lighter
moods. These TRANSACTIONS have never
before appeared in print:
SCHWIERIGKEIT.
About my sweetheart's starlit eyes
I've written many verses;
Yet still her rose-red mouth denies
The love my poem rehearses-
I've praised her cheeks, I've praised
the hair
That CLEANS beneath her bonnet;
All. if my darling had a heart.
I'd surely write a sonnet
This poem, despite the charm of the
versifcation, is wholly cynical, but the
verses which follow, though as light
in tone, are much more tender in SEN
timent:
KINDERSPIEL.
All, sweetheart, we've played many
Like children drawn together
Played MAN and Wife," matched
words and names
Sought flowers in sunny weather
We've laughed and TESTED without
fear
We've kissed. with fond embraces.
And, tired of play, when night grew
near,
We've parted with sad faces.
Twas Hide and Seek at your sweet
will,
And am searching for you still.

MAIL EARLY
And Congestion in Postal
Service Will Not Cause
Disappointment.

Mailing Christmas presents early
is just as important as shopping
early and postofice officials are urg-
ing all users of the mails to send
their Christmas packages as long
before December % as possible.
While mail is usually taken care OF
promptly at the clarksburg postof-
fee in rush periods, owing to the fact
that the postmaster has force Of
clerks big and efficient enough to
handle everything properly, it is at
at other Offices that congestion usu-
ally occurs. Those who wait until a
few days before Christmas to mail
their presents generally find that the
recipient at the other end of the
line fails to get his package in time.

Well Known Fairmont Dem
ocrat Extols Candidate
for Senatorshfp.

FAIRMoNT. Nov, go. s. Nc.
Kinney gives out the following state.
ment concerning Clarence w. Wat.
son, and his qualifications for the
office of United States senator:
Now that Mr.. G. w. Watson's
candidacy for the senatorship is as,
Stunning such proportions as to invite
the inquiry of the people as to tho
manner OF man he is, little specific
information OF personal nature
may not be improper.
There are those doubters who
associate with his name only his re.
markable success as a coal opera
tor. and who see in his candidacy
only the aspiration OF wealthy man
to get seat in the Senate without
special qualifications for the place
Those who know Mr.. Watson even
casually know how ridiculous this
conception is. Mr.. Watson is not
only successful in his business, but
he has culture, education and ability
which fit him in the highest degree
to make a capable representative OF
the people OF the state in the SEN
ate. On the questions that come be-
fore that body relating to trans
portation, shipping, the great prob
lens of interstate commerce, In
yolving the distribution of manufac-
lures, food and other products, he
has probably clearer and greater ip-
formation and more intelligent con-
ception than any man in the state.
He is an adept in business and
affairs, is thinker along all lines.
and would not be a novice when it
came to the discussion of the most
potential forms of Industrial and

College Closes the Season
with Election and
Banquet.

BUcKHANNoN. Nov. 26.-with
the annual banquet and the election
of the captain for next year the Wes-
aeyan College football season for
1910 closed here last night. On ao-
count of the tragical death of Ru-
dolph Munk the West Virginia Cap
tain and the following cancellation Of
the w. v. U.-Wesleyan game, the sea
son ended rather prematureIy. After
Davis-Elkins cancelled the Thanks
giving contest, Manager Brooks was
unable at the late date to arrange any
other game and the Wesleyan lads
were forced to end the season with
out the usual Thanksgiving contest.
OF course the objective point of all
the work and training throughout the
season was the contest with West
Virginia University, and since that
game could not be played the real
purpose of the football season is I'M
accomplished and the State champ
ionship still unsettled, while the
State University's defeat of Bethany
in the second contest gives the old
gold and blue a shade the better OF
the argument as to the State champ
ionship, 1t must be remembered that
Marietta College defeated West vir-
ginia 10 to 6, scoring two touchdowns
on the Morgantown lads, while the
ohioans were only able to cross the
Wesleyan goal line once, and were
lucky to win by a score of 8 to 8.
This defeat and the one at Waynes-
burg on the Monday after playing
Bethany scoreless game at Wheel
ing were the only defeats suffered by
the Wesleyan team this season, and
it was only in these two games that
the orange and black goal line was
crossed.
Long was elected captain for the
next season and as Coach Edwards is
expected to return to Wesleyan a
strong football team is already as
sured for Wesleyan next year. Coach
Edwards is fur the most efficient
coach Wesleyan has ever had and is
popular among students and all foot
ball followers here. Long is not only
a wise choice for the 1911 captaincy
but one of the cleanest hardest and
most consistent players who has
ever donned the Varsity colors.
