WILSON OPENS THE CELEBRATION
PUSHES BUTTON IN WASHINGTON AND STARTS JUBILEE N
 WEST VIRGINIA.
Anniversary of States Birthday Cele-
 brated In Il Fitting Manner.

Wheeling, W. Va, June 16.-1he jubilee celebration of West Virginia's fiftieth birthday was ushercd in to- day when President Wilson at the White House in Washington pressed a l button which in this city released l. 000 carrier pigeons, 1,-000 toy bal looms bearing passes of admission to all amusements. Also, as the Presi- dent disengaged himself for mom- ent from affairs of state and pressed the ting electric button, bell rang before the speakers stand, there was flash of light and the signal was simultaneously flashed by the pres sure of the Presidents finger to the capitols of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and West Virginia.
 There had been a dead hush in the throng that assembled before the speakers stand where sat Governor H. D. Hatfield and many prominent West iErginians who were to take part in the ceremonies. Many men held watches in their hands. Suddenly came the ring of the bell, the flare of the light and the release of the pig cons and the balloons. Governor Hat fields daughter, seated in the stand, leanned forward and plucked a huge boquet in the midst of which had ap- peared the light flashed by the Presi- dent from Washington.
 Proceeding the official opening of the celebration by the President, there were speeches of welcome to visitors by Governor Hatfield and others. Tomorrow there are to be floral parades and baby pageants, followed in the evening by spectacles of vari- ous sorts among which it the firing of building filled with fire works, the films to be eXtinguished by the Wheeling Fire Department while thrilling "rescues" are performed.
 The celebration is to last for several days. On Thursday there are to be industrial, military and G. A. R. parades. Friday is West Virginia $
 grand jubilee day, when the actual
 birthday" will be celebrated. There is to be children's parade, an educa-
 tional exhibit, speeches by Governor
 Hatfield, the Mayor of Wheeling and
 others and the reading of the prize
 poem, dedicated to West Virginia.
 Saturday is Madi' Gras day, with fan
 tastie parades at night by clubs and orders of the city.

HIS SELF CONTROL.
He Proved 1t to His Own but Not His
 Family's Satisfaction

MT Brown was excitable by nature but he often prided himself audibly upon his self control. One night whi. the family were gathered at the teo table the chimney began to roar. Tn. furnace draft had been opened and for gotten. Straightway panic ensued
 Don't lose your heads-keep cool" cried Mir. Brown. Its nothing seri ous''
 He dashed up the stairs discovered that the metal cap over the only un. used stovepipe hole was already red hot. and dashed down again faster shan he went up.
 "Keep coolw he gasped as he passed through the room where the family had gathered in nervous apprehension VIII be back in minute.''
 He was back In less than that time. having observed that the flames were spouting several feet high from the chimney md that shower of sparks was falling upon the roof.
 'Wh-where's the stepladder2" be panted
 He was gone before any one could answer the question and presently was heard believing from the roof of the wood shed. He presented heroic figure In the glare of the blazing chiln- ney.
 i've got one end of the hose" he called. Some one attach the other end and turn on the water-quick"
 Two long minutes passed.
 Why doesn't some one do as I or dered?" he thundered Do you want the place to burn up?"
 We can't. Henry" called Mrs. Brown tremblingly. You haven't got the hose You've got the COW rope. II was hanging next to the hose in the shed, and anyway the roof is covered with ice. and don't think there's any great danger outside. You'd better go and watch the chimney from the in. side"
 4 half hour iater the family were again at the tea table.
 If this had happened in some hones," remarked Mir. Brown, the family would have lost their heads completely and sent in an alarm. Self control Is an excellent thing and far from common"
 -Indeed. it is." agreed Mrs. Brown mphaticalfy.-Youth's Companion.

FREAKS OF NATURE
A Tree That Throws SonaersauIts and
 Waterfall Reversed.

4 tree gone mad and q waterfall that fails up instead of down are among tho strange things tp be seen fn Ha wGfi, as described by John Burrougha in the Century Magazine:
 Mature in the tropics, left Do her, self, Is harsh, aggressive, savage; looks as though she wanted to hang you with Der dangling ropes or impale you on her thorns or engulf you in her ranks of gigantic ferns. Her mood Is never as placid and sane as in the north There is tree in the Hawaiian woods that suggests q tree gone mad It Is called the hau tree. It lies down, squlrns and wriggles all over the ground like q wounded snake. It gets up and then takes to earth again. Now 1t wants to le vine; now it wants to be q tree. It throws somersaults, it makes itself into loops and rings, it rolls, it reaches, 1t doubles upon itself Altogether it is the craziest vegetable growth I ever saw.
 'It was near Pali that saw what had never seen or heard of Defore-a waterfall reversed, going up instead of down. It suggested Stockton's story of negative gravity. A small brook comes down off the mountain and at tempts to make the leap down q high precipice, but the winds catch 1t and carry It straight up in the air like smoke It is translated; it becomes a mere wrath lowering above the bee ting crag Night and day this goes on. the wind snatchlng from the noun tains in this summary way the water it has brought them"
