FRIENDSHIPS.

Never cast aside your friends #
by any possibility you can retain
them. We are the weakest Of

through inattention or let one push
away another or if we hold aloof
from one through petty jealousy or
needless slight.

systems. thus relieving the city OF

ton has naturally caused an increase

but this has not kept pace with the
falling on in other directions.
The daily average for the past year
was 1i.3l3,222 gallons. the highest
amount pumped in any one day being
100000 gallons on May %. Engine

CINE No. 4l6 pumped 9s9. 626. 900 gal.
Ions. operating 1853 days and hours.
Engine No. 500 pumped 3.ll7 .53l 100
gallons, operating $50 days and .
hours.
The amount OF natural gas con.
sumed during the year by the water
works was 194.67s.O0O cubic feet. a
daily average of 533.364 feet. The
number OF gallons OF water pumped 10
the reservoir per cubic foot OF gas
was 26.S35. as against 27.303 in 1910.
This apparent decrease is due to the
fact that the water works power has
been utilized in running the steam
pumps and six syphons in connection
with the building Of the new pumping
station and intake. Otherwise. the
record would have been more favor
able than last year.

The report of Chief Engineer w. T.

most people to know that the CITY

Hottest Fourth in
Wheeling's History
GOVERNMENT RECORDS AGAIN
BROKEN WITH 1o5 DEGREES.
Two Severe Prostrstions Caused by
Intense Hest-Cooler Wealth
er Expected.

The hot Fourth of July promised by
the weather bureau at Washington
materialiZed with vengeance in
Wheeling. Not only was IL the hot
test Fourth ever experienced here. but
also the hottest day in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. The govern
ment records were smashed again,
making three times in three days.
On Sunday the highest point record
ed by Miss Forsythe was 1903: on
Monday half degree was added. and
the Glorious Fourth came TO the front
with lO5. This will in all probability
be the season record. for after 4
o'clock last evening the air became
much cooler. the temperature falling
l. degrees in one hour.
Two severe prostrations we're re-
ported in the city limits. the victims
being Patrick Lynch. OF South Eon
street. and Marion Davis. a colored
boy Both were taken to the City hos
pital in the ambulance and improved
rapidly. being reported as much bet
ter last evening. II was very fortu-
nate that the day was a holiday. as
the intense heat would have caused
great suffering TO mill workers and
those whose occupations compel them
20 be exposed to the diect ays OF Their
sun
The business done by the ice men
and thirst parlors OF all kinds was
immense. In spite of the fact that
many had left the city TO spend the
holiday at other points. AS has been
the case during all OF the extremely
hot period through which the city has
just passed. the humidity was slight
Had It not been for this fortunate
circumstance. the suffering would
have been magnifed many times.

Women More Honest Than Men

Baroness Admits That Fair
Sex Cause Men to
Go Wrong

New York, n. Y, Dec 16.-The bar
oness Bazus. formerly Mrs. Frank Les
lie, believes that the woman of today
is more honest than man, but reluc-
family gives in that woman is the cause
of mans errors.
Women do not have the opportunity
or temptations to dishonesty in BUSH
ness than men have" said the baron
ess, mot the opportunity, because there
aren't as many channels BY which the
money of others passes through their
hands as is the case with men; nor the
temptations, because a woman does not
have to support a man. Every man
wants to grow rich so that he may
place a woman in a beautiful home
and buy her jewels"
Then. speaking of how the woman
becomes the temptress: I'VE are in
some measure accountable for our in
fluence upon others, so women are
often responsible for the dishonesty Of
men They are often eXtravagant-
They demand more luXuries, richer
furs, handsOmer hats, than man can
afford"
