ANGER.

Democrats of Moundsvillc in con-
vention Saturday night when a mu-
nieipal ticket was selected, adopted
drastic resolutions in which they con-
demned the recent election of United

The state senator's in the legisln-
ture are charged with having sur

Publishes a Number Of Sting
ing Rebukes in His
Newspaper.


SHEPHERD sToWsN, w. val, Feb.
Harry L. Snyder, one OF the
mos wlde'y known and highly re-
spec;ed Democratic editors and Cit
liens of West Virginia, and pub
Usher OF the shepherdstown Reg.s-
ter. one of the most ably edited
Democratic weekly newspapers in
West Virginia, has presented his
eimpliments through his newspaper
to the recent Democratic senatorial
caucus at Charleston. Here are a
few choice paragraphs from the
shepherdstown Register:
That very considerable number
of senator's and members OF the
House OF Delegates sold their votes
to the successful senatorial COM
bination is beyond the shadow OF a
doubt-indeed, certain men are
pointed out as they walk as graft
ers who betrayed their constituents
for money. What a brand OF shame
they bear! How mean they must
feel In their own hearts, realizing
that their evil is known to all men!
How guilty they will appear when
they return to their homes! The
dirty money they have will never
do them any good, for money can
not pay for the loss Of self-respect
or the respect of ones fellows.
&a Aa
1t is said that the Charleston poll
ittcians who are now in control Of
the West Virginia legislature will
permanently redeem the state for
the Democrats. Unless our memory
fails us, 1T was under this regime
that the state was lost to the Demo-
Gratis.
The interests seem 10 have pretty
cure control of the West Virginia
legislature, but there are enough
straight men in that body to at least
expose the crooked measures that
are being urged by the corporations
and their hirelings. Let the honest
members keep their eyes open, at
least.

Indignation in Berkeley county over

Motoring at Its Best.

Few motorists know of motoring In
all it's fullness. They drive along coun-
try roads for a hundred miles or so,
through towns SO closely set that they
virtually run through one long village,
and they think they have motored.
They cross the ocean and enjoy the
perfect roads Of France and SwitZer-
land. and imagine they have exper-
fenced all there is In life in the motor
car; but no one has ever been brought
to full realization of what motoring
really is, or what the wonderful mod
ern machine of mans creative genius
Is really capable Of doing until they
have sat in a racing car side by side
with an expert driver and tasted the
sport as 1t is under such conditions.
Lord Byron once wrote: What de-
lightful thing is a turnpike road, such
a means of speeding the earth as
scarce the eagle in the broad air can
accomplish" He certainly spoke in
prophecy of the motor car, and espe-
cially of the racing machine, which
defies distance and shrinks space into
the most tiny proportions.-The Co
lumbar.

How Perfume Is welahed.

It was the Italian physician Salvi-
oni who devised a microbalance of
such extreme delicacy that it clearly
demonstrated the loss of weight of
musk by rehabilitation. Thus the in
visible perfume floating off in the air
is indirectly weighed.
The essential part of the apparatus
is a very thin thread of glass, fixed
at one end and extended horizontally.
The microscopic objects to be weighed
are placed upon the glass thread near
dts free end and the amount Of fiexure
produced is observed with micro
scope magnifying 100 diameters.
A mote weighing one thousandth
of a milligram is said perceptibly 10
bend the thread. Buffalo Courier.

OLD FASHIONED FAMILY PEW
In That Rested the Strength Of the
Church, and It Should Be
Restored.

One sometimes hears a deal Of non
sense, about the danger of creating a
prejudice against religion in the mind
OF a child by making him attend
church once a week The danger
would seem to be about one-tenth as
great as that Of arousing a prejudice
against education by sending him to
school twice day. In both cases the
remedy lies in the good sense of the
parents and their estimate of the
value of religion and education care
fully instilled into the child's mind.
The strength of the church has been
in the old-fashioned pew, with father
at one end and mother at the other,
and stairway Of more or less restless
children. From that pew have gone
out the upright, devout, consecrated
men and women who have loved the
church and maintained her worship
and done her work in their several
generations. For the sake Of the
church, and especially for the sake Of
the children. let II be restored.
II 1t be impossible for the children
to attend both Sunday school and the
church service, this writer would by
all means teach them the catechism
at home and bring them to church
that they may learn to worship God In
the congregation Of his people.-South-
ern Churchman.

Monarchs ofs England.

The first to rule over all England
was Egbert, King of Wessex, who
united all the various petty kingdoms
and became King of England in S27.
The greater kingdom was disrupted
from SIS to 95S, when the Danes ruled
north Of the Thames. In the latter
year King Edgar reunited the king
dom and since that time it has never
been partitioned. Between Edmund
Ironslde QO16) and Edward the Con-
fessor G042) three Danish kings ruled
all England, Canute. Harold /. and
Hardicanute. The first king Of Great
Britain was James l. (1GO3). The first
king Of the United Kingdom Of Great
Britain and Ireland was George H.
From the conquest of Ireland in 1172
by Henry H. the kings of England
were styled Lord Of Ireland until the
assumption Of the title King of Ire.
land by Henry VIII, and thereafter
this title was used until the act OF

BEING BRISK A GOOD HABIT
Children Should Be Taught oulckness
IN Running brands and IN
Dressing Themselves.

II a child is allowed 70 acquire a
slow, dawdllng manner when told to
do any particular duty It will be
found very dimcult to effect a cure,
and this means serious hindrance to
success I'm after years.
Teach them while very young 20 do
everything promptly and to finish
what they have commenced. If they
are sent on a message make them to
clearly understand that they must go
direct to the shop and not loiter on
the way. Children may be seen at
any time carrying q message and lin
gering to look at everything on the
way.
often wonder at what time the
poor mother gets her messages home,
when l see a child lettering about In
stead of walking along briskly.
Qulckness in dress, also, should be in
sisted upon n too young to dress
themselves they should be taught to
keep still while the mother or sister
puts on their clothing.
At later age forbid any running
about the house until fully dressed
and quickly dressed. Some little
maidens are rather fond of looking In
the glass while dressing and this IS
a habit which should be at once re-
pressed. It not only encourages van
ity but II causes the child to waste
much valuable time.

TAME eULLs OF SHETLAND
Each Family In LerwIck Has It's Own
Flock Which the Children
Feed.

There are many small villages IN
the world that have only one street;
but Lerwick, in Shetland, besides hav-
ing onassa single street possesses only
one tree, and Il is not a very tall one
either. There are no land birds there,
not even a sparrow; but the sea gulls
are plentiful.
The inhabitants Of Shetland are
very proud Of their tree and very kind
to the gulls, of whom the children
make pets. Children who are brought
for the first time to see the wonders
OF one-streeted Lerwick are always
shown, as a great curiosity, "the only
tree in Shetland"
The sea gulls are the sparrows Of
Lerwick; and as such they have a
greater share in the towns life than
the sparrows of London. In the
morning you will note that a sea gull
sits on every chimney pot. Sea gulls
swoop and hover over every roof in
town. The air is full of their strange,
high, plaintlve, haunting cries.
Every house has it's own familiar
sea gulls and every street its own
band of them. But, according to the
Fruit Magazine, they never mix. The
children in each house have a pet
name for their own particular sea
gulls; and, having called them by
those names, they feed them every
day.
Each sea gull knows what is meant
for him. No bird attached to one
house ever seeks to eat the food scat
tered from the house next door. He
does not dare to do so. So all day
long the sea gulls hover and call over
the roofs of Lerwick.
The people of the town If they come
across a little pile of rice laid upon the
roadway step over it with care. They
know that it has been placed there for
some sea gull. And at night the sea
gulls leave their appointed chimney
pots and fly gracefully away to their
resting places on the rocks of the
Isle of Moss.
