increased beyond the actual wants of
the farmers. We had no banks and
many farmers began to supply their
families with buggies, carriages, pianos,
etc. will illustrate this by my own ex-
perience. My father bought a piano.
my uncle, who owned an adjoining farm,
employed lady to give his wife music
lessons and my aunt, whose farm Joined
my fathers farm, followed suit. Dur
ing these years of my boyhood my
father sent me and my brother to a pre-
paratory school for the University of
Virginia, and my uncle and aunt did the
same.
l have often said the period when a
boy is in bis teens is one in which the
Devil is most active in getting posses
sion of his body, mind and soul. How I
escaped has always been a wonder to
me. My Heavenly Father is a prayer
hearing and a prayer-answeriug God.
He answered my sainted mothers
prayer. When, in my teens, the Devil
told me twice to cane a man. The first
time the man came near killing me and
the second time, came near killing the
man. Sometimes be told me to disobey
my parents and my teachers. He told
me that it was manly to chew, smoke,
curse and drink poison, called whiskey,
and l would have surrendered had it
not been for my sainted mothers earn
est prayers. The Devil did not give me
much time to pray. The boy who has
not surrendered to the Devil during his
teens has laid a good foundation for a
useful Christian life.

SunflOWer Philosophy.

You doubtless need some one to point
out your mistakes, but you don't want
him.
1t sometimes happens that the obit-
uary notice follows rather closely on the
news of a successful operation.
When a man says he is willing to ad-
NIT his opposition may be right, he
is whipped, and has to admit it.
Besides helping himself, a man who
is good at that is usually expected to
furnish some assistance for his kin and
friends.
However, a man must do something
more than keep the scissors sharpened,
in order to qualify as a good husband.
When a man feels that it is a shame
to waste so much time sleeping, you
can depend upon it that he isn't one
who is bothered by insomnia.
What has become of the old-fashioned
mother who worried a good deal for
fear gypsies would kidnap her children?

st. Louis Globe Democrat: Thurs
day, April 9th, will be the eighty-ninth
anniversary of the birth of Ulysses S.
Grant, a man who must always be among
the foremost in the history of the coun-
try, and whose qualities and achieve
ments are a profitable study for the
world Grant was of the truest Ameri-
can type, and an example of what hap
pens when a national emergency calls
for leadership. By some subtle law of
free government as carried on in the
United States the right man is found
with surprising swiftness Generous
opportunity and appreciation have some
thing to do with it, but the level of
American citizenship is the basis. At
the beginning of the Civil war Grant
was clerk in his fathers store in a
small town. In four years ne was the
most renowned of living soldiers, and in
eight years was president of the United
States. position he filed two terms. Il
has been SAID with some truth that
Grants power in planning and execut-
ing has never been satisfactorily ana
lyzed. But his invariable unpretentious
common sense, his freedom from the
vanities of egotistical display, his stead
mess under all trials, are elements
whose value in the case cannot be mis-
taken.

LACK OF POWER
Is Given as the Cause for the
Inability to Give as Good
Car Service.

Announcement is made by an of,
fetal of the Fairmont and clarks-
burg Traction Company that the
reason better service was not given
here Saturday night and later was
the lack of power the cayenne
power plant being crippled Friday
night by the breaking of two ma
chimes. one of which was gotten
back into commission Tuesday
night. 1t is hoped to get the other
to working again tomorrow.
The intention was to run more
cars but lack of power prevented
that. The schedule was not to be
changed permanently and the extra
cars that could not be used were to
be In service during the temporary
dIsarrangement of the old schedule.
The company is working on plans
to give a much better service than
ever in the near future and 1t is its
purpose to make that service most
modern in every respect.

Orr, Wallace, W. Va, business
man, and Jennie Moore, a stenog-
rapher of Ninth and central avenues
this city, were married February
is of this year. The bride had been
divorced from her first husband, her
maiden name being Hamilton.
Today Orr filed suit asking for a
divorce. Immediately after the
marriage, he claims, his wife began
to regret her step and to declare to
him that she wished she was single
again, as she did not care to live
with him.
Then she would compare him to
other men of her acquaintance, he
claims, always unfavorably. In ad-
dition she complained because he
stayed out late at night. though he
says she knew that his employment
kept him out until midnight most
of the time. They separated in
July this year.

TO YOUNG WOMAN
Swallowed after Slight Quar-

at Breakfast.

The funeral and burial OF Mrs. Ed
ward Carey, Of Point Comfort. will be
held Thursday morning. tho funeral
being in the church of the Immacu-
late Conception at $3.50 o'clock and
burial following In the Holy Cross
cemetery
While at the breakfast table Tues
day morning. she and her husband
talked about prices OF foodstuHs. She
had left her passbook at the store
the last two months, and when he
asked her the price OF potatoes, she
replied that she did not know. He
remarked that that was strange. She
became angry at this and refused to
fill his dinner bucket. He did the
latter himself and went to work on
coburn's creek several miles away
from home. being an employee of the
Clarksburg Light and Heat Company
and having work to do there for the
company.
An hour or two after his departure
Mrs. Carey mixed about two ounces Of
paris green with water and drank it.
Scarcely had she done SO until she
regretted it and went to the home OF
Mrs. AIbbie Lowther, "a neighbor, and
told her what she had done. Medical
aid was summoned and efforts were
made to reach the husband. 1t was
noon before he could arrive home and
he found his wife in critical condi-
ton. She suffered great agony and
died about o'clock in the afternoon,
physicians doing their utmost for her
but being unable to save her life.
Had she taken less quantity Of the
poison. 1t is believed she would not
have fingered so long.
Mr. Carey was ever kind to her and
the incident was so trivial that the
tragedy is very sad one. They
seemed very happy together up TO the
time OF the quarrel and the husband
did not have the slightest idea that
she would do anything SO rash as to
take the poison. Her age was 26
years and she was a beautiful and
popular woman. They had no chill
dren.
