Do You Look Like Helen Pink?

(The favorite lor of Miss Helen
Taft, the first young lady of the
land, is pink as opposed to deli
cate shade Of blue, the favoute Of
Mrs. Longwortb, nee Alice Roose-
welt. For this reason Helen Pink
is supplanting Alice Blue as the
fashionable color AT Washington. -
News Item.
When Alice's blue was the most
proper hue
In which one could dress oneself,
One always aIrayed in the delicate

For fashion. that most precise elf,
Decleed that his color was not one

Nor brighter nor deeper than hue,

one were callous,
One knew right away what to do.
But Miss Helen Taft, they say, is
quite daft
Over pink, and if ones in STYLE.
One discards ones blue for Fashion S

Only pink, so one hears, wins a

They're fortunate people, but think
When the pick Of perfection doesn't

And one looks like Helen pink

Entire Family Wiped Out By Fire
At Sutton.

One of the creates holocusts that
has ever visi ed West Virginia was
that which wiped out an entire fam
lily. except the farther, at Sutton,
early Sunday morning. The unfor-
tunate family was that of j. d. Har-
den, a substantial resident of Brax-
ton county and a member of the
Waggy- Harden Lumber company,
with operations in Braxton end
Clay counties.
The dead are Mrs. D. Harden,
aged 38, Pc brooke, age1 IL, Mar
garet, aged s James and Reva,
twins, aged 5; Paul, aged 3; Ada
Green, an orphan, aged IA.
j. d. Harden, the father and the
only one to escape with his life, is
badly burned and il is feared his
mind will be impaired over the ex-
perience he has gone through.
IT was about ole o'clock Sunday
morning when Mrs. Harden who
was in delicate condition. awoke
and aroused her husband, inform
ing him that she smelt smoke. Mr..
Harden leaped from his bed and
rushed &c the stairway. He discov-
cred that the entire lower portion
Of the house was a mass of flames.
Entering an adjoining room he
picked up two of his children and
started down the stairway, but had
gone but few steps when the
stairway collapsed, precipitating all
three into the flames below Mr..
Harden, however, fell in sucn a DO
sition that he was able to regain his
feet and get out of the building,
but the two children whom he had
lost in the fall became the prey of
the fires furg.
Mrs. Harden who had witnessed
the disappearance of her husband
ran to her bedroom and leaped
from the window. Owing to her
delicate condition, the injuries re-
ceiyed, she died n less than an
hour after her fatal leap The 9TH

not able to leave their rooms and
were probably suffocated durin g

discovered bis wife lying on the
ground and gave the alarm, aud she
was taken to n place of safety.
She was able to recognize those
about her before she was relieved Of
her suffering by death.
The Harden residence was situat-
ed near the court house and was
one of the finest homes in tie Brax-
ton county seat. The loss to prop
erty and furnishings Will reach
$4,000 or $4,000. The home

ELECTIONS

D, waIlAss H. aAaEaEx

Even in a small city such al ours
the advantages of the short ballot
are quite evident. The ballot pre-
| scented to the voter next Tuesday
will contain thirty-six names. But
small Hs our city may be, how few
there are of its citizens who are
sufficiently acquainted with these
thirty-six to make an intelligent
choice between them. Our news
papers for weeks have been filled
with personal notices, with an ac-
company photograph. our mails
have been swollen with circular let
tiers; but after all, what advantage
Is 1t to the ordinary voter?
The short ballot proposes to put
before the voter a very few names,
SO few that If there is no personal
acquaintance, 1t will not be extraor-
dinarily difficult to see and become
acquainted with them all. But even

the voter to choose his own officers
throughout. But the privilege Of so
doing Is a doubtful one If he cannot
know about those whom he chooses.
Let him, however. choose a few men,
those whom he knows or can easily
learn about, and then hold them re-
sponsible for choosing fit men for
the lower officers, and we have
taken a long stride toward a more
perfect government. The country
has outgrown the old New England
townmeeting way Of governing,
simply because we have become SO
numerous that such a method Is n
wieIdy.
BY those who have studied the
question, the short ballot Is far
preferable TO either the initiative,
the referendum or the recall, al
though with some notifications
these latter might possibly be used
with advantage with the short bal
