OF this vindictiveness the camel

The camel will not identify himself
with his driver or rider in the smallest
way whatever. He steadily declines
all advances. His eye never lights up
with love or even interest at the ap-

SAY PAT IS "ALL THERE"
staunton Enthusiasts See Lynch
burg Win Double Header.


A party of Staunton young men,
consisting of Messrs. Roy and Guy
Kyle, Warick Lande-, Thomas Hoge,
Eugene Loeb, Alex. Bickle and Prof.
Jacobs, returned yesterday morning
from Lynchburg where they spent the
Fourth. They witnessed the morning
and afternoon games between Lynch
burg and Roanoke, the former result
ing in score of to 2 and the latter
Z to in favor of the Hill City. The
playing of "Pat" Krebs alone was
well worth the trip they aver. The
husky Kable coach made the run that
won the morning game, in which he
got three hits, one of them three
sacker. Three hits in the afternoon
and two runs were chalked up to his
credit. The local sports say that
Lynchhurg went wild over Pats play
ing, his fielding was perfect and that
every time Mike Shields tapped the
pill Pat was there with the goods.
Ben Lambert's drug store and the ho-
tel Carol rathskellar came in for a
share of their patronage.

BOGUS ANTIQUES.
Tricks of the Crafty Italian Forsers Of
Old Curios.

Tricks of the Crafty Italian Forgers o.
Old curios.
There are dealers in curios, crafty
set Of tradesmen, all over Europe, but
it is in Italy that they have carried the
art of deceit and forgery, the substitu-
ton of modern products for ancient, to
the acme Of perfection. Verona, Ven
ice, Siena and Rome swarm with
shops In which Turk these dealers in
the antique. and they are keen to spot
any American that may pass their
way. Next to the American in guilt
bility is the Englishman, but he does
not so freely give up his money.
Sir James Yoxall, the English con-
noisseur, thus describes one of these
dealers: "He knew how to crackle new
worries by boiling them like eggs, how
to cook new pictures in the oven, how
to smoke new prints and how to green
new bronzes with nitrate of potas-
SUM. 1t was so amusing to see the
things age In minute! He would
bring a new earthenware dish out Of
the over, burning hot, and plunge it
into iced oil; result, contraction, chill
chilblains, so to speak-and the enamel
all cracked into the wrinkles of age.
And then he would rub the surface
upon dirty paving stone till signs Of
wear and tear appeared that might out
wit anybody.
CAS- for pictures, it was easy to find
an old canvas or an old panel for Lo-
reno. It was when the artists work
was over that the real science and art
began-frst Of all, a wash of var
nish that had been colored with sepia !;
next, on the more raised portions, rub
bings with licorice juice to attract she
flies. He could even initiate fly marks
with india ink. A few drops of salty
water left on the canvas would pro-
duce moldiness and mildew. A needle
deftly used would cover the picture
with network Of cracks"

JONES ON MARTIN

Ere William A. Jones appeared
before a Williamsburg audience, we
heard him accused of "mud-sling-
ing" That argument will fall very
fiat in the future upon those who
were so fortunate as to hear the
senatorial aspirant SATURDAY. night.
If there was ever a dignifed, honest,
clean presentation of case, or rath-
er a cause, that of Jones should
be classed among them. But If
"mud-slinging" is exposing rotten
record and holding the owner of it
up to the scorn of the populace, then
Jones speech takes the capital
prize.
If what Jones said of Martins re-
cord is true, (and if you doubt it,
seek the fullest information before
you make up your mind as to how
you will vote) can you as straight,
clean Democrat endorse the record
of Thomas S. Martin? Laying aside
the charges that Martin is a boss;
forget, if you can, that he is cor
poration controlled and their will
ing tool, and confine yourself to the
Senator's tariff record, can you trust
further your interests as a citizen
and those of your state with a sena-
tor who crises above patry plati-
tudes, who works for the interests
of the northern lumber barons, and
who refuses to carry out your wish
es as expressed in the platforms and
by the caucuses of your party?
Take up these charges preferred
by Mr.. Jones against Senator Mar
tins record and if you can prove
that Jones mis-stated facts we will
willingly print the proof. If you
find they are true, if you also be-
lieve in party law, can you as an
honest Democrat, opposed to high
tariff on the necessities of life, long
er support a senator who has be-
trayed you and the Democratic party
into the hands of those who are
holding you up for tribute and sys-
tematically robbing you under the
guise of tariff tax? This is a time
Ior honest, courageous thought and
action.-Virginia Gazette, Williams

Art Is the revelation of man, and

Art pre-exists In nature, and nature Is
reproduced in art. As vapors from

ANN EXATIoN

Among.all the efforts made by OPP
ponents of reciprocity in Congress to
prevent fair commercial agreement
between the United States and Cana
da, the most disreputable and unpatri-
otto lies in the threat of annexation,
says the New York World.
1t is an appeal on enc side of the
line to the lust of conquest; on the
other to the fear of absorption and the
loss of national identity.
Who are we that we should under
take to govern Canada before we have
learned to govern ourselves.
Before we talk of further annexation
let us frst1 purge government of the
corruption that is eating its way into
the heart of American institutions.
Let us rid politics of its Lorimers and
ITS Murphys. Let us curb the sinister
power of wealth that defies law. Let
us free ourselves from the tyranny of
exhor bitant prices. Let US strangle
race prejudice and establish govern
ment of the people and for the people
in fact as well as in theory.
To add province to province, state to
state, continent to continent, until the
unweildy mass is crushed under it's
own weight-this is the madness Of
kings and the suicide of empires. The
danger-signal is painted with blood
and fire in history, in the graveyard
of nations where every tomb bears the
record of some insane ambition.
There is no prospect of annexation.
At present there is no real sentiment
on either side of the border in favor of
it. The American politicians who have
raised the issue are no more sincere
than are the Canadian politicians who
are echoing their words; but even the
idle discussion of it is mischievous.
From an American point of view it
is doubly mischievous. 1t awakens
Canadian suspicious. 1t makes more
difficult the ratification of the arbitra-
ton treaty with Great Britain. 1t
creates resentment throughout the
British Empire. 1t arouses new dis
trust in the countries lying to the
south of us on the American continent.
1t discredits American honesty and
American good faith. It is an appeal
to other peoples to believe that We are
acting lie.
No intelligent American can honor
ably identify himself with such a
cause.
