KILLS STRAW TIcKLER.

Tickling a friends nose with {
straw led to the death of Elmon J
Lissey, thirty years old, of North
Braddock. According to the report
received at the coroner's Office, Lis.
sey visited his friend, John Quentin
and when he entered the house he
found Quentin in bed, doing. TAX.
ing a straw, Lissey began to tickle
Quentin's nose.
Awakened suddenly from his nap
by the irritation of the straw point,
Quentin jumped up in bed, pulled
his revolver from under the pillow,
and in friendly manner pointed IL
at Lissey.
The latter, thinking his friend
over-excited and about to shoot,
grappled with him, and in the
scuffle the revolver was discharged,
the bullet entering Lissey's heart
and instantly killing him.-Pitts-

IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD

IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter Disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
SEEM wonder-just the
same?
Should we help where now we
hinedr,
Should we pity where we
blame1
All we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden
force
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good /;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we JUICE all deeds by
That surround each others
lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know the span the action gives,
Often we would find it better,
Purer than we judge we should,
We should love each other better
If we only understood.

fer.
When we think of our state
house square, where rank ego
tism, idleness and an utter lack
of regard for the interests of the
people, are so apparent as to be
little short of state disgrace, it
rs refreshing to think that we
have such a young man in the
Office of State Inspector and Ex-
aminer. Our only regret is that
his kind is so scarce.

IMPORT CHRONIC IRON oRE
sevth Africa Furnishes Greatest PAT
~ Amount That u ussd In
the United etstesL

Production of chronic iron ore in
the eastern portion of the United
States, where the demand lie great
est, ceased years ago. The supply is
now obtained wholly by importation,
mainly from South Africa. Califor-
mia has been the only producing
state for nearly decade. Deposits
have been found in 80 counties in
that state, but practically the whole
output in 1913 came from one mine
near Dunsmuir, in Shasta county.
Chromite is one Of the most difficult
minerals to fuse. IL will stand q
temperature of about 2,1s0 degrees
Centigrade, and this marked resist
ance to heat makes il valuable for
refractory purposes, furnace hearths,
chrome bricks for lining furnaces,
etc. A large amount is consumed in
the manufacture of pigments, dyes
and various chemical compounds, as
well as for tanning, in which it inn
parts to the leather softness and dur
ability under exposure to dampness.
The most rapidly growing use of
chromite is metallurgical, in the
manufacture of steel alloys. Chro-
MUM gives to steel marked degree
of hardness, and if added in the
proper proportion does not produce
brittleness.

Afternoon when he was united in

Mr.. Sullivan left this city in an

Allie Hardin for Winchester
where they were joined by Miss
Thomson and Miss Virgiania
Isle. The party then proceeded
to Lexington where Mr.. Sullivan
and Miss Thomson were united
in the holy bonds of wedlock, the
Rev. Chan dler officiating. The
happy couple returned to Owings-
vile Wednesday where they will
make their future home.
The groom is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. D. Sullivan, Of this city,
and was born and reared here
where he is quite popular with a
host Of admiring friends. For
the past few yers he has had

vile and by his correct methods
and pleasing manner has made
quite a success in a business way
and has become a favorite in the

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Wilson-That's All.

The Democratic campaign III
Kentucky was begun at Somer'
set recently in the heart of the
enemy's country. The CHIEF
speaker was Mr.. Beckham, the
Democratic nominee for the
Senate. There is but one issue
and Mr.. Beckham rightly devot-
ed himself to that.
The election of the Democrat
nc Senatorial and Congressional
nominees means the support OF
a Democratic Administration in
a crisis in which such support
rises above the level of party
ISM to the plane of patriotism,
The Wilson Administration has
kept the faith. 1t is confronted
by the most difficult situation
that an American Administra,
tion has been called on to deal
with since Lincoln.
The personality of the Demo
cratic nominees does nor enter
INTO the question. 1t is sufficient
that they are the nominees OF
the Democratic party, that the
Democratic party is the party OF
Woodrow Wilson and that
Woodrow Wilson stands be-
tween this country and disaster.
The Republican or Progress
slve who, under these circum-
stances, votes "the straight tick
-" will put party before coun-
Try. The Democrat who votes
any other than the straight tick
ct will be false to BOTH
