SOME MORE SELF PRAISE.

AS usual, the congressional direc
tory, of which a new edition is just is,
sued, contains more or less brief bio
graphical sketches of the members OF
the senate and house. Some are too
brief, while few there sin in the OPP
posite direction. For example, the
amusing biography OF Representative
Littlepage of West Virginia, has been
already much exploited The autobi-
ography of Representative Ben Focht,
of Pennsylvania, gives some interest
ing details OF his private life. Among
other things he relates that he has a
son named Brown; that he is "the au-
thor of the present ballot law of Penn
sylvania" (more's the PITY; that he

the French politely call a chevalier of
industry, lest they keep shy of his

WHY NOT APPLE BLOSSOMS.

The people of Washington, that is
the State of Washington, have risen
in rebellion against the custom of
wearing orange blossoms by brides.
Their contention is that there is no
more reason for wearing orange bios
SONS than any other blossoms, and
that as the grange is not a fruit that
grows in their State, the Washington
brides would do well to forswear them
and wear apple blossoms. This seems
like sane advice and the same advice
might be appropriately given here in
West Virginia. Orange blossoms mean
nothing to West VirgInians, except in
go far as custom has pronounced them
to be the proper flower for a bride,
but apple blossoms, these fragrant
beauty blossoms of the West Virginia
spring, do they net symbolic all that
IS good for West Virginia? Do they
not express the coming of the glori-
Gus harvest of luscious fruit that en-
riches the West Virginia farmer, Do
they mot tell OF empowered retreats,
where lovers whisper VOWS that are
echoed in the breezes that fan West
Vinginias hills. Do they not perfume
fha airs with an odOr that lives for
years in the memory of lover who
has wooed in blossom time? Are
they not a symbol Of purity and sweet
ness and hope? What could be more
appropriate for a bride than these?
West Virginia brides decked with
West Virginia apple blossoms-could
there be more delightful picture?

ed With Forgery and Non Sup
port Of His Family.

From The World of Wednesday:
John Shepherd Cole, whose family
live in the Falling Waters district but
who has been away from home for
over a year, had hearing this morn
ing before Justice j. d. Smith on the
charges Of forging his wife's name to
several checks amounting to some $50,
non support of his family and adultery
and fornication. Coles wife was at

her evidence being corrOborated by
several witnesses. The third charge
was not sustained, however, by reason
OF legal technicality.
Justice Smith held Cole for the Sep
TENDER term Of Circuit Court in the
su-n of $1,000 bail, which he furnished.
Cole was a former field deputy in
the internal revenue Office in this city
and was a former school teacher, in

CORPSE COMES TO LIFE.
Hurts Aged Husband Against Hot
Stove With A Blow.


Luray, Va, May 17.-As he sat at
the bedside of his wife, who was sup
posed to have died several days ago,
Frank Veney, of this county, was
struck by her with such force as to
send him reeling against a red hot
stove. Mr.. Veney, who is nearly 80
years old, sustained severe burns.
Veney's wife for some time lowered
between life and oath, and was even
tually pronounced dead. II fact,
neighbors had gathered to perform the
final rites.
Veney is a champion of charms and
still believing that life remained in
the body, he decided to make test of
the power of what he describes as a
drawing plaster" This he placed on
the chest of the supposed corpse, and
seating himself on the side of the bed,
he patiently awaited rsults. He did
not have to wait lang, for suddenly the
supposed corpse raised an arm and
with a sweep sent the husband, who is
quite feeble, against the stove.
He was thrown between the stove
and the side of the room in such
way that he could not be readily re-
leased, and injuries he received are
regarded as serious.
Mrs. Veney regained consciousness,
but has no recollection of striking her
husband, and attributes the blaw Civ
en- to a sudden awaking from her
trance, caused by the power of the
drawing plaster"

Always in Politics.

Francis B. Gessner, the able writer
for the Washington Post in his Pc
litical Arena" has the following this
morning ON Berkeley county's delega-
ton at Washington on Saturday:
Count that day lost whose low de-
scending sun sees nothing doing in
West Virginia politics. Following fast
upon the very evident intention of
President Taft to consult the member
Of the republican national commit
tee regarding West Virginia Federal
appointments came the Berkely coun-
ty members of the legislature en- route
&c a special session at Charleston. 1t is
all very we'll to explain that the via
Warrington route is the easiest and
quickest from Martinsburg to Charles
ton, but no explanation was needed
when Senator Silver and fellow legis-
lators Joined both Senators Chiffon
and Watson in Washington for con-
ference and enjoyed a little informal
dinner with the senators prior to train
time. 1t is evident that politics is be-
ing played by the new Democratic
leaders of the State, and by the time
a democratic legislature. comprising
democratic house and a republican
senate, begins business at Charleston
this week the real organization" dem
ocrats viii know what to do.
The special session was called by
Gov. Glasscock, a republican, and the
nervousness of republicans in the
State over the activity and near boss
! ism of former Gov. Dawson is really
r:tiful. The demand of the governor
! is for the legislature to pass pri-
mary law, which will compel the nom
nation of all officials, from senators
down, by the primary method. No one
has yet heard a yea or nay vote from
the West Virginia democrats in Con.
gress, but, there is no actual demon
stratio1 in favor of the primary prop
osition by either democratic or repub'
lican leaders outside of the old Daw'
son following.
Predictions are plentiful at the
Washington end that the special ses
sion will fail to enact a primary law
and that efforts by Glasscock, Daw
son & Co., will be in vain.
