Fireman Preston has not been found.
| 1t is yet to be known whether he is
buried under the engine or was
thrown in Twelve Pole Creek, or was

We were glad to hear that the
contract had been let by the city for
A culvert at the mouth of Culross

the old bridge which is there at pres
ent is very shaky.
1t is to be hoped that all the bids
will be in and the contract let for
| the Y M. Z. A. Chapel by the first
of August, and we hope to push the
work to completion as fast as pos
sib1e, as the building is needed so
very much, and more especially when
school begins, as it makes it very
Iinconvenient to use the school house.
That is our only place of meeting,

Glasscock Makes Statement Which
Is VascilIating

Gov. Glasseock makes a statement
which does not amount to a row OF
pins. He claims that he would not
mind supporting the Republican state
ticket, but cannot stand for Taft and
the Republican Chicago convention.
We do not know that his position
amounts. to much in any event, but
If we were going to make a state
ment we should say something or
keep our mouth shut.

States the Situation i'm the Republic
mn Party of West Virginia.
This from the Wheelisg Intelligent
Ger gives the true status Of the Re-
publicans and Third Party. There is
no chance of getting together, so
the fight must continue. Surely the
people should be. pleased with the
situation.
One thing can be safely said.
That is the third party can only live
and grow in strength at the expense
of the national republican party If
it lives and becomes a power IN the
land, the national republican party
will die. If the national republican
party lives and maintains it's pres
tige and influence, the third party
must die. Between the wo there
can be no bond of union, no common
groundao Of action.
This third party movement Is not
an independent republican, move
ment 1t Is not a movement within
the ranks Of the Republican party.
II is a movement distinctly opposed
to and destructive of the national
republican organization. Let no
republican deceive himself on that
point. 1t will not be possible 70
join the third party movement today,
tomorrow or any other time and
maintain membership within the
national republican party. No voter,
no leader can be or will be third
party man and republican at the
same time. Those who leave the re-
publican party to join the third par
ty movement now step outside of
the republican ranks and separate
themselves definitely from ire re-
publican organization"

farmer?
Julius Rosenwald may justly
lay claim to the simple, if slightly
humorous idea, of the Harvester
Trust.
1t only remains now for Ros-
enwald and the Harvester Trust
to get their heads together and
appropriate a few millions to
teach THE Beef Trust to pay the
farmers a better price for farm
products.
This would be much more diff
cult job than to uplift the farm
ers, but still there is a chance, and
Rosenwald and the Harvester
should not lightly pass it up.

Because he had been a naughty
little boy-a very naughty little
boy-he was sent to bed without
any pudding. But in the evening,
when his brothers and sisters all
were fast asleep, he erept down
stairs, a fearful, little, white
robed figure, and, going into the
library, said to his mother:
Mummy, you told me never to
go to sleep till I'd made peace
with my enemies. So I've come
down to forgive you and daddy
for being so rude to me at dinner

There has been no trouble so

Last evening was talking
With a grocer aged and grey.
Who told me of a dream he had.
think twas Christmas day.
While snoozing in his office,
The vision came to view,
For he saw an angel enter.
Dressed in garmentss white and
Said the angel. 'Tm from heaven.
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been friend to everyone,
And worked hard night and day.
You have supported many thousand
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory.
For you have labored hard.
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward"
Then the angel and the grocer
Started up towards glory's gate.
But when passing close to Hades.
The angel murmured wait.
l have lace to show you
It's the hottest place in hell
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell"
And. behold, the grocer saw there
His old customers by the score,
And grabbing up a chair and fan.
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch
them
AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on debtors
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, "Come on grocer,
There's the pearly gates to see"
But the grocer only murmered,
"This is heaven enough for me-"

The Complete Interviewer

Directors of the thousand-and-
one schools of journalism that are
now opening in this happy land
will please note that the art OF
the descriptive interview has been
boosted several notches by the
Dramatic Mirror. The Mirror sent
a representative to interview Mary
Garden a few days ago. and here
is part of what he wrote:
"Languidly she threw aside the
white mottled. silverx gray fur that
had enveloped here in slant lines
from head to foot. She stood {

gestions with the intricate smplic-
ity of a telephone, exchange. Nc

After that. what more remains to
be said about Mary Garden by the
