Girl and Pone.Cake.

Some time ago, Georgia reported,
with justifiable pride, that 1t had a
boy, 10 years old, who has succeeded
in raising 125 bushels OF corn to the
acre. But now, says the Chicago
Journal, the same enferprlsing
state comes to the front with the
record of girl, II, who has placed
on exhibition at the state normal
school 80 varieties or corn-food
dishes! Every one of those dishes
IS described by the experts as not
only palatable but absolutely de-
ltcious. OF course, the boys sue
cess depended in no snrGf: degree on
weather and soil conditions. But
that girl! Fifty-two varieties OF
corn-food dishes. And all delicious!
In days "befo' de war; virginia
darlies had "pone-cake' song. the
refrain OF which was:
Ole virginny tire
Put de cake upon de foot and hole
i. to de fre.
1t is a familiar saying that great
changes have come upon the south
since the days of the song. Few,
however. in the line Of gastronomy
have equaled the advancement in the
art of pone-cake making. What a
JOY would have been added to the
gastronomic experiences OF Bril-
lat-savarin could he have lived to
know that Georgia girl,

Dead Isrom a scnse Of nntr.

The brave baggageman on the
Central railroad OF New Jersey who
lost his lie in an attempt to save
the lives OF others did only what
policemen and fremen are constant
'ly doing. But trainmen are not
employed with a view to their ft-
ness for such work, says the New
York World. It is not in their line
OF duty and the fact gives an added
heroism TO deed of self-sacrilce
which is to the credit OF the service.
There Is more of this quality OF
courageous devotion to duty beyond
the letter OF their instructions
among railroad employees than is
commonly recognized. An example
OF it was furnished by the station
agent at Croton Lake, on the New
York Central who gave his life 10

robbers. The pension granted to his
widow testifes to the company's an
probation Of conspicuous fidelity in
the employee, 1t is present in every
engineer who sticks to his post when
his locomotive leaves the rails. and
in the fireman, telegraph operator
and brakeman. 1t was possessed
by the Buffalo hasman who was
killed while attempting to drag a
woman from the tracks.
II the sense OF responsibility
among the rank and file Of the ser.
vice were always matched by an
equal efficiency in executive Offices
there would Aa=tewer occasions for
its exercise at-tne cost of life. II
ought not to be necessary for bag
gagemen to leap from their cars to
give warning of danger or possible
for passengers to be killed on the
tracks before a station.

Microbes and Cats.

4 Chicago man is organizing 10
kill of the cats. He is a doctor and
he gives as reason for his muir
derous Intent that the cats whiskers
are the roosting places OF numerous
'unsightly and terrifying microbes,
ready TO pounce upon their victim at
the first chance. In order to expe.
dite the massacre OF the felines the
doctor has Invented a sort OF g.b-
bet trap, which Is said to terminate
the cat in the most painless man
ner. The doctor is now being as
sailed on every side. especially BY the
women, who have taken the cat tribe
to heart.
We do not expect, says tho Ohio
State Journal, this mans mlcroba
scare will result in the death OF a
single cat. People are getting tired
of microbe scares. There are too
many of them. If they run from all
the microbes discovered they will
keep on the run. "A person should
know how to lIve-how to keep
clean, pure, temperate, brave, hope
full, and then snap his fingers at the
microbes, especially those on the
cats whiskers.

Basis OF Opposition.


The substance OF a Charleston
dispatch to the Wheeling Register
may be the thing that aetuates the
Charleston Gazette and Fairmont
Times in their bitter opposition to
the extra session OF the legislature.
The dispatch says the question OF
investigating the recent election OF
United States senators can be taken
up at the extra session.
The Registers dispatch states that
in the opinion OF those whose opin-
ion would be considered good, and
who will answer the question, the
special session can investigate the
bribery charges because it affects
the same rody. That the question
of an invs tgatlon will come up
there is no ouht.
Those two newspa pers have taken
the ground all the time that there is
really nothing to investigate. Sup
pose that Is true. The cost of es.
tablishing the fact that there was
nothing wrong would be small, and
as those the same would eff
feet would not bear the cost. there
ought not to be any serious objec-
ton to an investigation. Why do
not both the Gazette and Times
court an Investigation?

CHILDREN INJURED.
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and Harsh
Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over careful in the Sc
lection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine should
ever be given except in emergency cases.
Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatives
are apt to do more harm than good.
They may cause gripping, nausea and other
distressing after effects that are frequent
ly health destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and
most dependable remedy, which we
know, for constipation and associate bow
ell disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy that we
sell it on our guarantee of money back in
every instance where it fails to give en-
tire satisfaction, and we urge all in need
OF such medicine to try il at our risk.
Rexall OrderlieS are eaten just like cam
dy, are particularly prompt and agreeable
in action, may be taken at any time, day
VI HlSHl w lOt SduSS 1idiihSIei, idhoSd,
gripping, excessive looseness, or other
undesirable effects. They have very
mild but positive action upon the organs
with which they come in contact, appar-
emily acting as a regulative tonic upon
the relaxed muscular coat of the bowel,
thus overcoming weakness, and aiding to
restore the bowels to more vigorous and
healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly completely
relieve constipation, except OF course
when of a surgical character. They also
tend to overcome the necessity of con-
stantly taking laxatives to keep the bow
els in normal condition. Three sizes Of
packages, ~ cents, Is cents, and so cents.

BEAUTY doctors operating nthe SOUTH

flecced a number of susceptible women
who were ambitious TO have their 'lookS"

you from what you were born to be, not
even to be born again. But, if you will
be as sweet and good and bright and low
abe as God Almighty intended you to be,
a beauty, shining from your soul. will
illumine your plain features, and cast a
halo around your ungainly figure, which
will give you all the qualities of attractive

Among the Railroads.

The new winter schedule of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad went into effect
last Sunday, and it is unsatisfactory to the
people of this section, in that il cuts Out
the stop at Shenandoah Junction OF train
No. 6, the fast Chicago express that TOR
many years has afforded such an excel
lent connection for Washington, Baltl-
more, Philadelphia and New York. This
was most convenient train to our peo-
pie, and it is hoped that the stop may be
restored. There is little change in the
time of trains that stop at the Junction.
Hancock and Berkeley Springs are hard
hit by the new schedule. For many years
allirains have stopped at Hancock Station,
the junction with the Berkeley Springs
branch, where the engines took water.
Under the present schedule only one ex-
press train stops there, No. 80, and this,
with the accommodation trains, provides
the only passenger facilities for the two
communities on this road. The b. q u.
has recently installed the track tank syS-
tenn near Sir Johns Run, six miles west
of Hancock, and as the engines get their
water in this way the stops at the station
have been cut out. The fast passenger
trains now make the run of Is miles be-
tween. Cumberland and Martinsb burg with
out a stop. The people Of Hancock and
Berkeley Springs, who have enjoyed I'M
usually satisfactory railroad facilities for
so long, are up in arms over the new
schedule.
Everybody in town will be sorry to
learn that c. H. Moffett, assistant agent
for the Norfolk & Western Railway, in
charge OF the freight depot, is going to
leave. He has been appointed agent for
the N. & w. at Troutville, a few miles
this side OF Roanoke, ard will leave here
for his new place the first OF the week.
His family will remain here for the pres
emf. Although we are glad that Mr.. Moi
felt gets promotion, we regret to have
him leave our community. Heis not only a
capable and accommodating railroad man,
but is a genial gentleman and good citi-
zen. We could say more about him, but
fear that it might be taken for an obituary
notice. Mr.. Moffett is an enthusiastic
fisherman, and il is probable that the
name of Troutville has had a good deal
to do with him accepting the new posi-
ton.
The freight terminal of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad at Brunswick is being
enlarged through the construction OF Is
additional tracks for the classification OF
west-bound freight, which will accoml1lo-
date 920 additional cars, increasing the
yard from $500 TO 1910 cars, making it
one of the largest freight terminals in the
country. The enlargement of the yard
necessitated moving the west : bound
main track about 70 feet to the north at
the east entrance Of the yard, starting
$500 feet east from the entrance and
making room for two receiving tracks.
The yard is being constructed on the
gravity order, consisting OF a "hump"
with rise OF II feet at the summit with
an ascending grade of 2 per cent and a
descending grade of 3 per cent.

ONE of the political sensations of the
past week was the publication OF letter
alleged TO have been written by Senator
Crane, OF Massachusetts,, 10 Col. Roose-
welt, asking the former PreSidentto allow
his name TO be used by the Republicans
as a candidate for the nomination against
Mr.. Taft. Senator Crane has been re-
garded as a Staunch friend OF President
TAFT and leader OF the reactionary ele-
ment to whom the President has been
faithful, and his implied abandonment OF
the Taft camp is strong indication OF
his belief that the Republican cause is
lost if Mr.. Taft is to be the leader.
The intrepid Colonel reiterates his
declaration that he is positively not cam
didate and he wants his friends to stop
talking about it; but nevertheless ne
doesn't say that he would refuse the nom
ination, nor is he burning any bridges
behind him.

Suicide i'm Berkeley County.


Brown Pitzer, native of Middleway,
Jefferson county, aged about SIS years,
and the father of Well-known family in
Hedgesville, took his life near that place
some time before supper hour Monday
evening. He employed piece of tar
rope used in bundling fodder and hung
himself from the limb OF tree in the field
OF Frank Robbins, for whom he had been
working, husking corn. Mr.. Robbins had
left the man, and went into the barn to do
his night work. Along about 6 o'clock,
Mr.. Pitzer- not putting in his appearance
for supper, Mr.. Robbins went in search of
him, and was Mortified TO discover the
dead body hanging from the limb of a
tree. Assistance was hastily summoned
and the body cut down, but Pitzer was
beyond help. He had encompasSed his
death in methodcal manner, it appear
ing that he had to bend his knees in order
to accomplish strangulation, as his feet
rested on the ground when discovered.
Mr.. Pitzer was a carpenter by calling, but
worked at other jobs in that vicinity. He
was an industrious, conscientious man,
well thought of and highly esteemed and
his family is splendid one. He is not
thought to have had any financial diff
culties, and there was nothing in his 9TH
er affairs that would lead one to suppose
he would thus seek to get rid of his
troubles. But for some time past he had
been complaining that his health was
very bad, and he frequently spoke OF
having trouble with his heart. II is sup
posed his physical condition preyed upon
his mind and that he was irresponsible
when he took his life. - MarfnSburg
