IT WILL NEVER Dc DONE

.
The sulloway ,McCumber proposi-
tion to 'sweeten', the pension ap
preparation by about $50. o0o, 600 year
now before congress has attracted
general attention to what is common
ly known as the pension graft. There
is q growing disposition to know who
the grafters are and in this connection
the Charleston News and Courier suR-
gssts that it would be fine thing for
congress to order the publication Of
the pension rolls. Wouldn't it be .
fine thing " it asks for gallant old
soldiers to have the names Of ali the
takers and graftsrs erased from the
lists7 In fact, wouldn't it be cheaper
for ths government to paw dollar .
day to every veteran deserving Of it
than to continue paying smaller sums
to an army Of those who never Joined
in battle, never fought ct all and
never drew . cent Of pay from the
govern neut as soldiers ON aotise d1ts
although they have drawn sums
monthly ever since the war in. the
shape Of pensions? By all means
publish the pension lists.
It would be good thing indeed to
publish The list, but it will never be
done. Not in this generation at least.

The idea in establishing the pension
system was to provide for those who
had been so injured or -otherwise in.
oapaoitated by their service In the
Federal army, that they cenld not sup

been SO distorted that anyone who On.

WHAT OF THE NEW YEAR

We have had good year. 1910 was
. period Of unrest and of unsettled
conditions, throughout most of The
county, according to Bradstreet's
SUMMARY, but here In staunton things
went along very nicely. The mer-
ehants did well, the health of the city
was excellent, and throughout the
county, 1t was year of fairly good
crops in spite of tho dry weather.
Fruit alone brought e0O0, 900 into the
county. We have had many things
for which to be thar.sssl, and we can
look into 1911 with hearts full Of hope

DEATH IN THEIR WORK.
Dangers That Beset Those Who Toll
In Alkal; Factories.

Do you like your work?
When you are inclined to be discon-
tented with it think of the alkali work
ers. They die by inches from the mo-
ment they enter the factories. Things
are not so bad now as they once were.
but they are bad enough still.
In what is known. as the ''black ash"
department in chemical works big
open watts Of caustic are used The
splashing of this caustic sends drops
Of the burning fluid flying through the
air. A drop falling upon naked flesh
causes a bad burn. A drop in the eye
will blind it forever If the stuff is not
removed within few seconds.
A black ash worker in a Welsh al
kali factory, toiling at the caustic pots,
received an invisible globule of this
deadly spray in his eye. There was
no water at hand with which to wash
out the caustic. 1t seemed that he
must surely go blind. But one of his
mates seized on the injured man, who
was quite frantic with pain, lifted his
eyelid with foref1nger and thumb and
with his tongue licked out the caustic.
he burned his tongue badly, but he
saved the other poor fellows sight.
Another of the dangers that beset the
alkali worker-and the worst of them
all-is poisoning by chlorine acid gas.
This gas, which comes off the lime in
thin green fumes, is known to the men
and joked about as Roger" A full in.
draft of the gas kills a man in an
hour.-Pearson's Weekly.

End Of tho Trail.

II lost pocketbook with a roll Of
bills In it few weeks ago." Charlie
Gibson told us. II didn't make q fuss
about it and tell the papers, but it
was more than could afford to lose.
So put detective on it. He asked a
lot Of questions, looked wise and said
he'd report in a day or two. Well,
about three days later I found that
pocketbook where had mislaid it. I
rejoiced exceedingly, and then I called
up the detective agency to confess.

PAPU JAN c COURTESY
Husbands Best Each Of Their Wives
With 4 Different Club.

Husbands Best Each Of Their Wives
With Z Different Club.
The marriage customs OF the Pap
uans are somewhat similar to those
Of many other savage races. The GER
emony is largely matter Of purchase.
The men marry when they are about
eighteen years Of age and the girls at
fourteen or even earlier. ~ T.
When a young lake man desires to
get married he visits the father Of his
prospective bride and puts forward
his personal belongings as an induce
ment to the father to consent to the
union. ~r. ..- -, 4
If man has gun he is great per-
sonage and can demand anything, but
besides their bows and arrows and
spears most of the the Papuans have
very little. Even agricultural produce
Is scarce, the only cultivation under
taken being on a very primitive scale.
A little clearing is made by both
men and women, and the women then
grow bananas and sweet potatoes.
The men are always armed, and when
the women go to the patch to attend
to their crops or gather the produce
the men go with them as protection.
The women, however, do the work.
Many families have a bundle Of an
Gent Portuguese cloth centuries old,
and when young man is seeking a
bride one of these heirlooms is gener-
ally part of the deal. The youth and
the girls father haggle over the mar
rage until eventually they agree to
terms, and then the thing is done.
The men are not limited to one wife,
and once a girl is married she is sub
ject to her husband in everything and
is practically his slave.
I'm another part of New Guinea"
says writer in the Wide World mag
azine, Il remember distinctly strong
confirmation Of the custom which
places woman at the entire mercy
of her husband. At one house I visit
ed saw standing outside the doorway
three huge stone clubs, each large
enough to fell a bullock.
"On making inquiries I found that
they Tailed with the number of wives
owing allegiance to the householder.
The clubs were used by the man to
beat his wives with if they annoyed
him. The quaint part Of it was that
while the women seemed to raise no
objection to being fogged unmerciful-
~ by their lord and master they
would not be beaten with the same
weapon as that used on another wo-
man, so the native kept separate club
for each wife,

GOOD NEWS.


Many Princeton Readers Have Heard 1t
and Profited Thereby
"Good news travels fast,' and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Princeton are glad to learn that
prompt relief is within their reach.
Many lame, weak and aching back
is bad no more, thanks to Doan's
Kidney Pills. Thousands upon
thousands of people are telling the
good news of their experience with the
Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an
example worth reading:
F. W. Huebner, east side, Foley,
Minn., says: "a year or so ago my
back was lame and I had rheumatic
twinges in my arms and shoulders.
At that time I took Doan's Kidney
Pills and they soon relieved me. Re-
Gently, I again procured q supply of
this remedy and it promptly rid me of
lameness across the small of my back
that had made it hard for me to stoop
or lift. I have also recommended
Doan's pills to one of my neighbors
and in this instance, they have done
good work.
