Charleston.-As firm as Gibraltar the
Democratic branch of the West Vir-
ginia state senate declared it was I'M
willing to permit the Republican sen
ators to choose a president of the sen
ate even though the choice be one OF
the Democratic senator's The Demo
Gratis insisted that it was their prerog
he should serve until his successor
was elected at the next regular session
OF the legislature.
The declaration of the Democrats
was in response to another proposition
submitted by the Republican members
which conceded the presidency of the
senate, over which the senate has been
deadlocked to the Democrats, but with
the stipulation that he should be Sc
lected from among the Democi attic
senators by the Republicans, and that
he should resign at the end of the reg
ular session, and the Democrats then
would join with the Republicans in the
election of a Republican who would be
next in line of succession to the gov
ernorship.
For several hours the Democrats
considered the Republican proposition,
which further provided an equal divi-
sion of the committees and attaches,
and pledged the Democrats to join
with the Republicans in the election
of United States senator and in no
way to interfere with his election.
After again insisting that the presi-
dent of the senate should be a Demo
crat, and selected without any reser.
walton by the Democratic senators, the
Democratic branch asserted that it
was not their intention to obstruct in
any way the election of United
States senator.
With their proposition rejected the
Republican senators are again consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of attempting to
force the selection of a Democrat of
their own choosing Several names
are being considered, but George w
Bland is the favorite among the Re-
publican senators, with Senator John

A Mo. man tells of his wife's "goo6
breakfast and also supper, made out
OF Grape-Nuts and cream. He says:
Il should like to tell you how much
good Grape-Nuts has done for my wife.
After being in poor health for the last
Ii years, during part of the time
scarcely anything would stay on her
stomach long enough to nourish her,
finally at the suggestion of friend
she tried Grape-Nuts
Now, after about four weeks on
this delicious and nutritious food, she
has picked up most wonderfully and
seems as well IS anyone can be-
Every morning she makes a good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten just as
1t comes from the package with cream
or milk added; and then again the
same at supper and the change in her
is wonderful.

upon new phase, and the accordion

Every girl must have her little waist
accordion plated, while most of these

Ninon and crepe de chine are the ia

of some vivid tint which encircles the

In the case of Lohr, and others,
against Wolfe, from Barbour county,
in which the supreme court reversed
the judgment of the lower court and
awarded a new trial, Judge Miller, in
the syllabus of the opinion, says: In
an action for trespass on land, not in.
volving title, it is only necessary to
describe the land with sufficient ac,
curacy to give defendant notice and
enable him to properly plead to the
action. If other facts not necessary
to maintain the action or defense be
alleged, such facts may be treated as
surplusage and need not be proven.

titled plaintiff to submission thereof

in which it was error to strike out

TIME FOR HIM TO DEPART
Youthful Lecturer, At q Loss to Know
What Next to %, Had to Be-

come to be an authority upon a Ger.
tain modern phase Of education, went
a few days ago 70 deliver his FIRST
lecture at girls school. He had lee.
tured before, but never at a young
ladies' seminary" and as two white
frocked, curly-haired ushers led him
out to the platform, and he sat down
beside the matronly principal among
the women who made up the facu lty,
and faced a sea Of girls faces. he vas
young enough to feel a bit Of embar-
rassment himself. 1t was rather diff.
hcult at first, but once the lecture
was started things went all right.
He finished what he had to say and
sat down. The audience and the ma.
tronly principal and the women who
made up the faculty clapred their
hands enthusiastically Then the ap-
plause died down and silence settled
upon the lecture hall. The young man
sat on waiting for some one to say
something, dimly conscious that a
move of one kind or another was ex.
pected Of him. But his lecture was fin.
ished; he had said all he had to say;
there were no questions from fac llty
or students. A few of the girls be-
gan to fidget, but no one spoke.
The young man became unpleasant
ly aware that he was expected to do
something and to do 1t at once; but
he did not know what to do. He re-
feCtpd misara hlv that ha did mot ifpnw
the etiquette of girls school any

audience. and the prettiest Of the
