ferred to take up the bills of his col
leagues, go deep into them and to
urge amendments here or elimina-
lions there. That was the most eff
fective way, in his judgment, of
getting results.
The Senator was the author of a
number of special bills. He pro-
posed a removal of all duty from
potatoes imported into this coun-
try; he asked for numerous appro-
priations for public buildings in his
state, and he was instrumental in
amending the laws safeguarding
miners.
Would Not Receive Charges.
The high esteem in which Senator
Watson and his associate, Senator
Chiffon, are held in the Senate was
shown when that body refused to
receive the eleventh-hour charges
filed against them by the West Vir-
ginia Republicans on the last day
Of the past session.
These charges, alleging that Wat
son and Chiffon were not properly
elected to the senate and SO obvi-
ously filed for political effect at
home, were discarded by the Senate
without an inquiry They were
stuffed into pigeonhole of the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges and
Elections and will die there
Senator Watson's brief career as
legislator has been fruitful. He
has faithfully represented the DEM
ocracy of his State. He has in a
very short time established himself
in the confidence of his associates,
and If he had been returned he
would without doubt have become
one Of the big factors in the DEM
ocratic organization of that body.
We hope this will not retire Mr..
Watson from the politics of West
Virginia. He has not only been a
faithful representative of the peo-
pie in the United States Senate, but
he has done more to raise the stand
ard of his party to higher plane
in the State than any other one
man. There is yet room for Sena-
tor Watson in the. politics of our
country and we hope to see him re-
cognized in more substantial man
ner than ever before for the great
work he has done for West Virgin
ia and for the elevation Of his peo-
pie. Mr.. Watson is not retired. AS
time goes on, he will become a
greater statesman than ever, and
will be recognized as one OF the
most worthy leaders Of the Democ-
racy of the country.

Rev. Mr.. Grant rendered his res
ignation on last Sunday and will
leave the city. While he likes the
city and admires our people, he
leaves on account of the delicate

leave with the universal regret OF
our people generally and will carry

will be. Among the rest, we add orr
regrets that he leaves at an early

1t is with pleasure that we chron-

host of friends in this section who
will be glad to know that he is the
coming man to represent Kentucky
in the United States Senate. II
there is a man in Kentucky who is
worthy of the recognition OF his
people for this high honor. it is the
gentleman of whom we write. We
have not seen him for years, but we
used to know him when he was
struggling as young man for the
development Of his native land
Eastern Kentucky Since those days
he has risen to distinction by un-
firing effort and great energy. Self
made, springing from the common
people, he has made remarkable

support. We circulate largely In
Eastern Kentucky and it would give
us, as a spokesman Of our people,
much delight to see him thus hon
ored He would add reputation to
the highest body OF law makers in
the country and reflect honor upon
his State. Let the people think and
act in this matter. Mentally he is
the peer of any reared close to
nature and of benevolent instincts,
he is truly man Of the people and
fresh from the people. He is the
man to honor the place and repre-

should be done.

Boston.-After lying helpless for an
hour and a half in an abandoned barn,
pinned to a board by rusty tenpen-
ny nail, which had pierced his hand,
eight-year-old James Gallagher of No.
100 East Eleanor street, Olney, was
discovered by passing farmer, who
found 1t necessary to saw off a foot
of the plank to liberate him. The boy
was treated at the Frapkford hospital,
where the surgeons had to use saw
again and cut away the remaining
portion of the board before they
could remove the nail The wound
was cauterized and large quantity
of lockjaw antitoxin was injected.
The lad had been amusing himself
by sliding down an inclined board in
an unused barn in Cedar Grove lane,
about a mile from his home. He had
made only one or two trips when his
hand suddenly struck the huge nail,
which had been driven through the
edge Of the plank and bent over to
form a hook. The force of his swift

rubsreuIOsIs Day In October.

Churches and religious societies, to
the number Of at least 100000, will
be urged to give special attention to
the prevention Of tuberculosis on Sun
day, October q, or on some day dur
ing the week preceding or the week
following that date. This season has
been set apart and designated as the
Third National Tuberculosis Day by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
tuberculosis Day was originally set
on April 2S, but was postponed be-
cause Of a conflict with Conservation
Sunday Of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, which was held on
that date. The observance Of Tuber-
culosis Day in the fall this year will
be utilized by anti-tuberculosis work,

Of church-goers on consumption, but
also for the purpose Of interesting

story of Col. D. c. Collier, director
general of the Panama California ex-
position Of San Diego:
While riding along a mountain road
in San Diego, Cal, Mr. Collier came
upon a dllapidated corral fence upon
which hung a sign bearing the follow
ing announcement: For Sail" A
bright-looking small boy sat on the
fence beside the sign, and Mr.. Col
lier asked him, when does this ranch
sail?"
The small boy glanced up quickly
at Mr.. Collier, smiled and said

ONLY THING is TO FIND HER
Every Man Has an Affinity Some
where on the Earth, Is
Law Of Nature.

Every man has a best girl waiting
for him somewhere in the world. The
moment that he is born, the catalogue
clerk in Times great factory assigns
him to best girl or else puts him on
the waiting list.
There is no escaping your best girl.
No matter where she may be born or
how far apart from her you were
when you started, the inevitable at
traction will work your destiny, and
when you meet you will both know 1t.
All that is lacking is the material
realization, and inasmuch as all ideas
eventually find their way to the sur
face, yours is bound to come.
Sometimes a mans best girl is
homely; sometimes her mouth is not
a cupid's bow, and her features are ir
regular; that makes no difference; he
will love her just the same when he
meets her.
Also, she may be another mans
wife, Such things have been known
Here's hoping that it will not hap

1T was customary" says Professor
Macallum, ito regard living matter as
unique, with parallel in the inorganic
world and the secrets involved In its
actions and activities as unsolvable
enigmas. There were those also who
put forth, as an explanation for all
these manifestations, the Intervention
in so-called living matter Of a force
otherwise and elsewhere unknown, BIZ
otto or vital, whose action was DIRECT
ed, according to the character Of the
structure through which 1t operated,
to the production of the phenomena
in question. Living ,protoplasm was,
in this view, but a mark and a me
dunn for action orthe unknown force."
He says the methods Of the labora-
tory are not as yet those Of nature,
because nature works unerringly, I'M
falteringly, with an amazing economy
of material and energy, while present
laboratory syntheses are but round
about ways to the waste sink.
He believes, though, that science
has made start in the right direc'
ton and is approaching the discovery
Of the function and composition OF
living cells. ITO that end" he adds,
"a greatly developed study Of micro
chemistry is necessary. This should
apply the stimulus to enthusiasm In
the search for reactions that will en-
able us to locate with great precision
in the living cell the constituents, in
organic and organic, which affect its
physical state and thereby influence
its activity"

descent caused the sharp point to
penetrate entirely across the palm.
Screaming with pain, he tried to
writhe free, but every movement only
increased his agony, and he was I'M
able to extricate himself. Literally
nailed to the plank, he lay for more
chan an hour, until Joseph Wilson, a
farmer, of Second street pike, above
Fox Chase, heard his cries as he
passed in a wagon.
Wilson found the lad almost ex-
hausted from pain. He endeavored to
free him, but found that his efforts
only added to the victims misery. He
finally walked half a mile and Dor
rowed a saw with which he cut the
board across in two places, while the
boy, suffering intense agony, lay
watching him.
Having finally freed the lad, Wilson
placed him, with foot Of plank still
fastened to his hand, in his wagon
and drove at top speed to the Friends
asylum, the nearest institution. Physi.
clans at that place, however, were un-
able to give any aid to the sufferer,
and 1t was necessary for the farmer
to drive with him to Frankford be-
fore he obtained relief from his pain.
