membered because it ended the career
of Gen. phil" Kearney, one of the
knightlest figures of the war. Riding
into the Confederate lines by mistake
about dusk, he refused to halt when
commanded and was shot from his
horse. General Lee sent his body
and sword into the Federal lines with
a touching note.

RECORD OF DEATHS
FROM DREADED RABIES
Cases of the Dreadful Suffering and
Awful Deaths Grow More Num-
erous Each Year.

iShS GdSi Sai'
The Trenton True American quotes
some interesting but startling infor-
nation from recent government re-
port showing the number of deaths
in the country last year from rabies
and the increase in the number of To-
calities reporting this disease This
report itself is sufficient argument for
a rigid system of dog control in all
places, and particularly for laws com
polling the use of muzzles the year
through where there are allowed to
run at large The article states:
"To those who still believe that the
human race has some further use for
the dog, a bulletin just issued by the
federal government should prove in.
teresting.
This bulletin shows that last year
1925 human beings were afflicted
with rabies the result of bites from
rabid dogs Ninety-eight of these hu-
man beings died. The number of
rabid animals reported was 3,939. and
they were found in 1881 separate To-
calities.
THE significant thing about the bull
letin is that while the number of cases
and the number of deaths show a
slight decrease from former years, the
number of localities in which rabid
dogs were found has largely increased.
"Other figures are given in this
bulletin TO show that the scourge Of
rabies is gradually spreading through
en-; the country. Sections where the
disease was unknown a few years
ago have developed several cases
within the past three years.
1T may occur to some that ninety
eight lives are not very many when
aiken from among a hundred million
OF Lecple, but there are others who
ere practical enough to raise the
question, aren't ninetyeight lives
worth all the dogs in creation?
"And the figures Showing the loss
of life do not tell the whole story.
There is the unspeakable agony Of
the victims, the horror aud sorrow of
the relatives and friends Of the vic
Tins, the constant dread of parents
for the safety of their children, the
constant danger to every individual
Of one of these best friends of hui
manity.' All this and a great deal
more must be chalked up against the
dog. Some day it may be far away
the world will discover that the un-
muzzled dog is just as much of nut
sance to humanity as flies are to the
dog"

GOOD ROADS IN STATE
DUE TO THE AUTO|STS
Great Improvements to the Highways
Since the Introduction of Automo-
biies In West Virginia.

pies IN west virginia.
Since the auto was introduced in
West Virginia about dozen years ago
the roads throughout the state have
been put in much better condition and
it is a safe prediction that within the
next decade there will be still greater
improvements made TO the public
thoroughfares. The auto alone has
caused these great Improvements to
be made, and if the machines had
never been invented it is safe guess
that the roads throughout this state.
as well as all over the country, would
be in practically the same miserable
condition they were fifteen years ago.
Little money was spent in keeping
them in good condition in the years
gone by, for they were not much ira
versed. Whoever heard of one driv-
ing on pleasure trip with family and
friends from state to state in a vehicle
drawn by horses. If such had been
attempted the drive would have been
made at funeral gait, and there
would have been little if any enjoy
ment on the trip. Autos and good
roads have made such a journey
joy. This summer saw hundreds of
families of the Martinsburg district
take auto trips of thousands of miles,
being gone for weeks and returning
home with better health and happier.
One principal reason that the west
ern part of Virginia withdrew from
the original state, forming West Vir-
ginia, was that the Legislature of the
Old Dominion would make no appro-
priations to keep the roads in shape.
The breaking out of the civil war
gave the people of that part of the
commonwealth an opportunity to with
draw. The roads were then put in
fairly good shape las there were many
stage coaches in operation in most
parts of West Virginia up to the late
sixties After railroads began invad-
ing all sections of West Virginia the
roads were little used and they be-
came worse and worse from year to
year. OF course, the counties had
some work done on them at intervals,
but the majority of them were almost
impossible during the winter. For 20
years they remained in this condition
until the auto was introduced and the
owners of the machines got busy and
appealed to the authorities to put the
public thoroughfares in better condi-
ton.
Ten years more will see every
road in the Little Mountain State in
good shape, and it is directly due to
the coming of the automobile and the
influence of the men who own the ma
chimes that these great and good
changes have been wrought.

SOME ASTRONOMICAL FACTS

Today the sun will shine CO n
tinuously on some section or other
of United States territory. Srien
tific calculations show that during
the period from the third of April
to the tenth of September the sun
does not set on the stars and
stripes but that every section of
the twenty-four hours the banner
of Uncle Sam is made visible by
the rays Of old Sol.
After September 10 and until
April 8 each year the opposite
condition prevails and some part
OF the United States do uinion is
continually in darkness. 1t is
only since the acquisition by the
United Staes of the Sandwich and
Philippine. islands. Porto Rico and
a portion of the Samoan group that
subject Of Uncle Sam could at
any time make the boast that the
sun did not set on the territory Of
his country.
Great Britain has long been
known as the center of an empire
on which the sun never sets and
France can make similar claim.
1t is not so we'll known however
that little Holland holds such
dominion. The Dutch possessions
include Dutch Guiana and a number
of islands off the north coast of
South America, Java, Sumatra
Celebes parts of New Guinea and
Borneo, and several groups of islets
in the East Indian archipelago.
These possessions, with Holland
itself, are so situated in regard to
their difference in longitude that
the sun is always shining on some
portion of Queen Wilbelmina's
nation.

4 NOVEL TRAP

A short time ago a hunter found
in q patch of woods in Connecticut
eleven large blacksnakes tied up in
hard knots and stone dead. Two
telegraph wires ran through the
woods overhead and few days be-
fore there had been a heavy bla ST
set off in quarry near by. This
broke down the wires and started
colony of blacksnakes from their
slumbers in neighboring ledge.
One of the wires was crossed in q
distant city by a trolley wire and
hence the broken wires which lay
near the snakes den made a
death trap.
When the snakes came to the
wires trailing on the ground one
after another crossed over them
touching the ends Of both wires
at the same time. They thus
Short circuited'' them and re-
ceived shock which caused death.
Immediately upon being shocked
each snake curled up in hard
knot thus opening the circuit and
setting the trap again.

TINS contest.
But Teddy should make a few
notable exceptions. First. there
is Mr.. Roosevelt himself, the
shrewdest, the most cunning, the
MOST daring profe ssional politi-
clan in the United States.
There are the 'Seven Little Gov
errors. all of whom are very
practical gentlemen. who control
great deal Of patronage and who
know exactly why they PRO
crossed" from Taft back to Roose-
welt.
Honorable mention must be
made of George w. Perkins.
formerly of j. P. Morgan & Co.,
who helped collect the Roosevelt
campaign fund in 1904, in 1908
and in 1910. and who is still help
ing collect it. Mr.. Perkins will be
remembered as the progressive
who showed the New York Life
Insurance company in 1904 how it
could contribute $4,000 of its
policy-holders' money to the
Roosevelt campaign fund without
allowing the item to appear as
such on the books.
The steel trust should not be
forgotten either. 1t is both pro-
fessionally and practically in
politics, and at one time it had
sufficient influence at the White
house to induce president of the
United States to license the absorp-
tion of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
company. its principal rival.
Nor should Mr.. Roosevelt over
look the Harvester trust, which is
likewise professionally in politics,
and which, according to former
Senator Hansbrough. once per-
suaded a president of the United
States to change his mind about
prosecuting. it.
We omit from this list the name
of the Hon. Bill Ward of West
chester. as the fact is notorious
that he. like Brown of Ohio, long
ago consecrated his political life
to letting the people rule.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt is
right in so far as his description
applies to the professional politi.
clans who hold federal jobs. For
the most part. they are the same
army that he used four years ago
to nominate Mr.. Taft. Nobody
knows better than he what they
are doing and how it is done. But
having held public office only
twenty-five years, he naturally
views the activities of professional
politicians with patriotic disgust.
