HOW THE governor
GOT in COMMITTEE.
Exact Status Of the Governor is a
Little Difficult to Under
stand rt.s

IWASHINcTON, Dec. 20.--The ex.
act status Of Gov. II. d. Hatfield IN
the meeting Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee is little difiicn,t
to understood. 1t is understood he
was extended the courtesy of sitting
with the committee in place OF the
regularly elected committeeman, Will
liam Seymour Edwards, who was I'M
seated by the national committee
some time ago on the grounds that
he had left the Republican party and
affiliated with the Progressive party.
The governor was not elected 70 fill
the vacancy but was accorded the
right to represent the Republican
party of West Virginia on the com.
mittee so that the state should be
represented in the conference of the
party and the deliberations of the
Committee. He was placed on the
committee to draft and publish a
statement as to the action OF the ma
tional committee.
West Virginia will not be affected
by the revised plan OF representation
in the Republican national conven-
tions, as adopted by the national com
mittee here. 1t is one of the few
states which will have the same
representation under the new plan
as before.

DANGER IN PORK.
Safe to Eat only When Well Cook
ed, says U. S. Bulletin.

A bulletin just issued by the bureau
of animal industry, Department Of
Agriculture, directs attention to the
dangers attending the eating of un-
cooked pork products. such as some
forms of sausage and the like Trich-
inosis, the bulletin says, may ready
be contracted by eating such pro-
ducts of fresh pork as have not been
cooked, even when the meat has been
given the most careful inspection
Much of the danger, however,
turks in home-kf'led pork, which is
not subject to any kind of inspection.
Hogs killed and consumed on the
farm, the bulletin states. may furnish
meat that is wholly free from any
form of disease, and then again such
meat may be swarming with trichi-
nae. The only method of guarding
absolutely against infection with
trichinosis or other diseases borne
in fresh pork, the Bulletin says, is to
he sure that such meat is thoroughly
cooked before it Is eaten and to eat
no sausages or other products Of the
hog that are prepared for consump-
tion uncooked.

Miss Sarah Roberts, of Ogdenburg,

Sally Roberts as an old woman. She
enjoys remarkable health. She is
short and stout, and her eyesight and
hearing are unimpadred. Religious
societies of the community recently
have contributed to her support. and
residents dubbed together on one

Aunt Sally expresses the hope that
she may live to reach the century

declares she remembers seeing Gen.
George Washington ride by her home
when she was child. If the latter

ANNUAL FEASTAT
THE STATE PRISON
Warden of State Penitentiary orders
las Gallons of Oysters for
Christmas.

Warden M. l.. Brown, of the state
penitentiary at Mpundsville, has
ordered las gallons of oysters to be
served to the convicts for dinner on
Christmas day. In addition to the
oysters the convicts will have sew
eral side dishes, dessert and all the
trimmings of a good oyster feed.
The oysters will be stewed. that
being considered the most digestible
form in which to serve oysters. AT
present there are ITO convicts con.
fined in the pe1itentiary, and the en-
tire number will be assembled in the
large dining room of the institution
The day will be holiday, all work
but the caring for the stock on the
farm being suspended. In the morn
ing the convicts will be entertained
with a musical recital and concert
by Mrs. Emma More Scott, OF
Moundsville, and in the afternoon a
band concert will entertain them.
Last Christmas there was nearly a
carload Of Christmas presents, con
sisting principally of edibles, sent to
the prisoners at the institution, and
as they are allowed to accept such
offering it is likely the coming sea
son will prove no exception to the
rule

gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-

saved. Mr.. Mionich is rs years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved

The Nervous Heart.

Many persons whose hearts are organl-
cally sound nevertheless suffer much
from various functional disturbances OF
that important organ. The stress OF
modern life gives rise to a great many
disagreeable or painful symptoms that
do not at all threaten life. but often greatly
alarm the apprehensive sufferer from
them.
Persons who are thus affected live in
constant state of fear about their hearts.
They palpitate at the least excitement,
like hysterical girls; they acquire the
pernicious habit OF living with a finger
on their own pulses, and believe the
smallest twinge of pain to be due to an
angina.
AT last they betake themselves to some
wise old physician who has seen many
such cases. He makes a grave examl-
nation, laughs them out OF their fears,
and dismsses them healed.
When genuine nervous heart trouble
arise in youth, ii is usually in consequence
oftoo much athletics or Of overindulgence
in some direction; especially, perhaps, in
tobacco. When the fault is discovered
and corrected. the heart RECEIVERS its
normal tone, and works without baking
for a lifetime.
The irritable or nervous heart OF mid
die age is generally of more honorable
history. The rush of modern life sets
too hard pace; the worker cuts down
his vacations or omits them altogether,
and never takes quite enough sleep. So
the heart, although essentially sound, be-
comes permanently tired, just as the hand
OF sufferer from writer's cramp is per-
manently tired.
Ii shows its fatigue by extreme irrita-
bility. 1t palpitates briskly without warn
ing, and for no apparent reason; it works
too rapidly at one time, and too Slowly
at another; if suffers from vague and
fleeing pains. and it often misses or
seems to miss beat. lis owner is never
able 10 lose consciousness OF it. 1t IS
easy TO tell what such heart needs,
much easier than il is TO get it-reSt! j.,

Proof that men inhabited Montana IN

Not far from the Sullivan ranch and

The butte is absolutely devoid OF TIM

A Riack Bears Meal.

To watch wild animals feeding al a
time when they do not suspect an audi
ence is always an interesting experience,
and in the case OF black bears, owing 10
their keen sense of smell, a comparative
" rare one. Mr.. Charles S. Moody,
wiring in the Outing Magazine, tells how
he came upon big black bear which was
indulging in feast with very evident
symptoms of enjoyment.
