SIC TRANSIT GLORIA TANGO.

Last winter, in a period of rashness
and inconceivable folly, we took few
dancing lessons. We learned the
tango, the one-step and the hesitation,
with all the dips, drags, grapevines
and lame ducks thereunto appertain-
ing, and in such case made and pro-
vided. We thought we had Terpsi-
chore lashed to the rudder of Yep
pelin. AS we glided about the hall or
riccocheted from divan to davenport,
just missing the piano lamp in our
mad flights through some friendly
parlor, we used to feel sorry for poor
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle. We were the
dancing demon of the day. We were.
But last night we happened to drop in
on some friends, whose victrola, as
we entered, was tearing off .By the
Sea, By the Beautiful Sea-" We shall
forever hate that tune, for it is mex
tricably intermingled with the wreck
of our fondest conceit. We learned
last night that we can't dance. No
more than rabbit, we can't dance.
There was young fellow in that
parlor who had brought with him,
from the city, slew of new steps
and motions and gestures and poses,
and by the time we got there he had
taught the young ladies such deli
catessens as the "half and half" the
''fox trot," "the silo Slip and the
Ford Flop" or something like that.
Why, we didn't even know the holds
any more. Everything we did was
passe or aisne or przemysl We were
Major general Dub. Last year, if you
didn't hesitate, well-you needn't
come around. This year, if you hest
tate you are lost and no reward Of

PETER RADFORD ON
POLITICAL PREACHERS"

Peter Radford, who has just been
reappointed lecturer of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America, sounds note of warning
to the growing number of preachers
who are mixing in politics.
"Those who put on ecclesiastical
robes" says Prof. Radford, "are in a
measure free to unlock every door to
the human heart and enter the secret
chambers of reason and every person
should submit their conduct to review
and seek the counsel of those divinely
appointed messengers of life, but the
moment the minister closes the Bible
and opens the law book he becomes a
menace to society.
"The greatest peril to the church
today is politics. The temptation of
the ministry to throw down the cross
of Christ and pick up the club of the
policeman; to substitute the penalties
of the law for the power of the altar
and to legislate religion into human
hearts, never was greater.
"The world never needed relig-
ious ministry more nor political
preachers less than it does today. We
need ministers to teach us how to live;
we know how to vote"

FOoT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

With Pennsylvania, Maryland.
Ohio and nine other states under
quarantine because Of the appearance
of the dreaded foot-and-mouth disease
of cattle, every West Virginia cattle
owner should inform himself as to
the nature of this disease. One of the
most frequent means of spreading
foot-and-mouth disease is through
visits Of farmers, for mere curiosity.
to nearby infected fields. The disease
is so highly infectious that it is a
very easy matter for man to carry
the infection to animals at consid.
cradle distance. Humans sometime
contract the disease, but the effects
are not usually so severe as IN the
case of animals. Horses have never
been known to contract this disease.
The foot-and-mouth affliction is
characterized by chill which quickly
gives place to high fever that
reaches LOG degrees in some instances.
These symptoms appear within few
days after exposure to the infection.
They are followed by the formation
of vesicles or blisters in the mouth
and sores upon the udder and feet.
The fever usually continues until the
disease has run its course, which or
dinarily requires ten or twenty days.
The grayish blisters in the mouth
soon break and leave Redeemed sore
spots, A white foam also collects
around the lips and the afflicted ami
NAL makes a peculiar smacking
sound. The feet become swollen and
sore and in some instances the hoof
comes off.
Though it is not possible to do any
thing for the herd that is suffering it
is possible to use every means avail
able to prevent infection of others.
The farmer who is In locality near
known outbreaks should avoid bring
ing livestock on to the farm. If any
signs of sickness occur in the herd,
separate the afflicted animals at once,
even though reasonably sure that il
is not foot-and-mouth disease. Dogs,
cats, birds, people, etc, are means
by which the malady may be trans
mitted from place to place, as well as
by the cattle themselves, and the
herds should be carefully guarded to
avoid any possible chance Of exposure
by any of these routes.

EXTENSION DEPARTMENT.

A United States government inspec-
tor recently visited the Extension De-
partment Of the West Virginia Col
lege Of Agriculture, in the course Of
his regular inspection rounds, and
after a careful study Of organization
and methods used in conducting the
work, wrote as follows:
Il have found the West Virginia
Agricultural Extension Department
the best organized Of any extension
department visited" s
Many states have found it neces-
sary to effect an entire organization
in order to come up to the standard
set by the Smith, Lever act. West Vir-
ginia made no change in organization,
everything being approved by tho
government inspector. Many OF the
blanks, forms, systems, etc, were
copied by the inspector and recon-
mended for use in other states.
At recent meeting, at Washing
ton, Of representatives Of the various
colleges and extension
departments, West Virginia's form Of
organization to correlate the various
educational agencies Of
the state, was highly commended.
Twenty-four states asked for copies

GLEANINGs FROM
PASSING EVENTS
(By d. w. Gals

WASHINGTON, November 3d.
Representative William G.. Brown,
from the Second District, has been in
the city, more or less, since the cleo
ton, looking after the interests of
his constituents, and he wears smile
that won't rub off.
Early in the week Hon. E. D. Tai
bott, of Fa4ins, and Charles M. Muir
ply, Esq1 of Philippi, were in the
city on their way to Richmond, to at
tend session of the United States
Circuit Court, where they have case
coming up from Judge Dayton's court
on an appeal. They are both leading
lawyers in the State and their West
Virginia friends in this city, are al
ways delighted to see them.
On December IL the West Virginia
Society will hold its regular meeting,
and it is destined to be the best of
them all, with lot of West Virgin
ians, greeting each other over the
products of the state, must make the
most stupid happy.
At the next meeting of the society
Hon. NJ M. Nicely and Hon. S. B.
Avis, are to deliver addresses, which
are to be short and sweet, to be fol-
lowed by some old time West Virginia
evenings, at the home, as it were.
Hon. NJ M. Medley, of the First
District, has been invited by Mount
Vernon Lodge No. 5, K. of p, to de-
liver an address on the evening of De-
cember 2, the occasion being the grand
visitation of the Grand Lodge officers
to that lodge, of which the Grand
Chancellor is member, and more
over it is the second oldest lodge of
the order in the world, so Mr.. Neeley
is being highly honored by this invi-
tation being extended to him.
DR.. F. D. Byington, chief clerk Of
the Pension Bureau, a Jefferson coun-
ty man, has been down in Virginia
hunting, and, of course, came back
loaded down with game, the usual
hunters luck, when there is no game
on the market, but while the doctor
may not be successful hunter, yet
it can be said he is true man and
when a professed friend he is all of it,
which is saying a good deal in these
later days of friendship.
The West Virginia Society is meet
ing with marked success being, as is
well known, a nonpartisan, nonsecta-
rian society, composed of West Vir-
ginians, and thus affording the people
Of their state to meet, get to know
each other and build up patriotic
spirit, which ought to be chief in
gredient of every West Virginian's
makeup.
Mr.. Foster Zeigler and Mrs. Zeig-
Ter, the faithful secretary to Mr..
Brown, have come to the city and To-
Gated for the winter, and on most
working days the smiling face of Mr..
Zeigler can be seen in Mr.. Browns
office in the House Office Building,
faithfully overseeing the rush of bust
ness that is always on tap at that
office, and he is equal to the occasion,
whatever that may be.
