town OF Pride.
On the banks OF the River Rebound.
Where the Do-It.Now perfumes the

And the Never.Say-Die abound?
1t lies in the Valley of Hit En- again,
In the province Of Grin and Bear
It's the home of fighting. hoping men;
And victory's home is there.
The town is rs old as the human race,
AS young as the human heart.

For It's streets are tramped by men
and teams,
And 1t dreams with a plow and cart.

WEST VIRGINIA POTTERY.

West Virginia Is rapidly increasing

State. according to the UniteN States
Geological Survey, its products of this
class being valued at S3.3G5. 166 in 1912.
nearly ten per cent. of the total for
the United States. This was an in.
crease of $4S4,964 over the figures for
1911.
The State now ranks third in the
value of pottery produced. being ex.
ceeded by Ohio and New Jehsey.
West Virgina's product of chief
value was white ware. OF which 1t
is the second largest producer In the
country. The value of the white
ware mode in 1912 was $2.051 1887.
an increase of $l31. 693 over the
figures for 1911. This product is
made principally In Hancock couR-

Horse Sense.

When q collar hurts. the average
horse winces upon being asked to
throw his weight into the collar. Lat
er he becomes what we foolishly cali
bulky perhaps. and finally he fights
like an army mule when some one
tries to put q collar on him. That's
knOwing something.
l am personally acquainted with a
horse which simply hates certain
blacksmith who once upon time nall
ed a bad fitting pair Of shoes to his
feet and inflicted sore feet upon this
horse for all time to come.
There are men In this world of ours
cruel enough to fasten horse with a
heavy rope In stall and then beat the
horse with chain. But such men
have bad luck" for forever afterward
If the horse which has received this
sort Of discipline hears a chain rattle
he will bolt in terror. whether hitched
to moving machine. a carriage with
children in 1t or heavy wagon lond-

sense or horse revenge.-Farm and

A young contractor In Missouri
town found himself after the war in
dire financinl straits. He owned few
pieces Of property, all Of which were
mortgnged. the mortgage IN each in
stance being held by an old man who
lived with his one son, Brocky, In q
tumbledown hut that could not be
rented to any one else. In the course
Of time the miser forecIosed. taking
over all the contractors property,
which was valued In excess Of the
amounts loaned. The contractor began
to pay rent on the house In which he
lived. Three months after the fore
closure the miser lay dying. An urgent
message reached the contractor. and
he, supposing that the other. knowing
his end to be near, wanted to make
what restitution he could for the good
of his soul. hurried down to the cabin.
He found the old man In q rickety bed.
covered with a tattered quilt and an
old overcoat. The contractor bent bis
enr hopefully to the others lips. The
miser drew a long breath. clutcbed
the quilt In skinny hand and whis'
pered:
