Very few people in the city knew
that there came near being a fire on
Water street Monday night or Tues
day morning, and which probably
would have been q bad one. Joseph
Calsolari OF the Augusta Fruit Co.
opened the store under the Cony House
at about o'clock Tuesday morning
to find the store full OF smoke and
though upon investigation no fire was
found in the store. evidence that there
mad been was found near the base Of
a funnel which goes up through the
floor near the rear end Of the store
and close to the north wall, where
a place had been burned in the floor,
and which had apparently burned out
OF itself. Mr.. Calsolari was at loss
to account for the trouble as there
had been no fire for number Of days
in the furnace with which the funnel
is connected, but whatever the cause
of the fire 1t was a lucky circumstance
that it burned itself out as 1t did.

Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1915-10-14
From WycIiffe To Lincoln.

A correspondent OF The Companion
who was interested in what we lad re-
Gently to say about the origin OF the
famous phrase that Lincoln used at Gettys-
burg,-"government OF the people, by
the people, and for the people. calls
Our attention TO the fact that we must go
back not one century but more than five
centuries for the first use OF those strik-
ing words. II was, he writes, not in
America, but in England, that they were
first uttered, probably by the great
preacher and reformer, John WycIiffe,
who first translated The Bible into Eng
lish speech.
In the manuscript Of the translation,
mostly made by Wycliffe but finished by
Nicholas de Hereford, there is an intro
duction, whether written by Wycliffe,
Hereford, or another is not clear, and
this sentence occurs therein:
"This Bible is for the government Of
the people, by the people, and for the
people" "
Wycliffe was pupil of the great theolo-
gian, William Ockham, who taught that
in political affairs the State and not the
church should be supreme, and he had
learned from Marsiglio, author OF book
famous in its time, the "Defensor Pacis,
that the sovereignty of the State rested
with the people" In political philosophy
as well as in theology he was far iu ad-
vance of his time; if he did not himself
write the famous phrase, it must have
been written by one of his associates and
pupils. II certainly expresses his own
love of and confidence in the common
people
II would be interesting TO know whether
Lincoln, who was constant reader Of
the Bible from his youth upward, ever
saw any copy OF these predatory words
TO the WYcliffe translation. II is not
necessary TO suppose that he did, for, as
the article in The Companion showed,
the phrase had in measure established
itself in the thought Of the English-speak-
ing peoples some years before he himself
made use of it.

WHAT WEST VIRGINIA
FOLKS SAY ABOUT TT.

Parkersburg, West Va.-vI suffered
with female trouble since my third
child was born. l suffered and was
annoyed for some time. tried several
doctors who used local applications,
with little benefit. A lady who had
similar trouble had used DR.. Pierce's
Healing Suppositories with success, and
l sent for some. The use of them
does far more for me than any other
remedy, and makes me comfortable. I
am grateful for them and am glad to
recommend them. "-MRs. TILLIE Ar
THUR, 400 Lubbock Ave.
Lynchburg, Va.-FI can say that
Favorite Prescription has proved q
good remedy. 1 used it for the con-
dition usual among women at forty
five. 1t did more than l could expect.
1t did me wonderful amount of good.
Only one bottle was used but the bene-
fits were permanent.
'My husband used Golden Medical
DiScc~c'y' for a cough and cold. He
says it is the best medicine going. He
gave it to the children and says that is
why they are so we'll. We consider
DIR. Pierce's remedies the standard
family remedies. Mas. J. L. MAGANN,

a remedy that any ailing woman can

Earache.

There is no pain in the world much
harder TO bear with equanimity than ear
ache. Some pains seem, by reason OF
their locality, to be much nearer 10 us
than others, and earache has a peculiarly
intimate" character; sothatall humanity
groans in sympathy whenever II is men
toned. Earache can result from several
causes the most usual cause is acute in
flammation of the middle ear. But II
may also be caused by the pressure oi
boil or an abscess. or by excess OF wax
in the ear, or by the Inflammation oil a
decayed tooth extending upward to the
ear.
Several things can be done to relieve
the pain of an attack, and several other
things are often done, although most un-
wisely. First aid in these cases should
never take the form OF Swinging. Moth
ing is more common in case OF earache
than for well-meaning relative to rush
for the syringe and subject the victim TO
what may happen TO be the very worst
treatment in the world. II no one does
that. some one is almost sure 10 try drop
ping oil into The ear.
Now, nothing whatever should be put
into the ear itself without medical advice.
A doctor has the instruments with
which to make ar examination, and he IS
the only safe Judge as TO the proper
treatment. In many cases OF acute In
flammation he will have TO puncture the
drum before relief can be obtained. In
the meantime great deal can be done
toward giving relief by the constant ap-
plication OF heat in the form OF hot-water
bag. or soft bag filled with hot salt.
Sometimes the doctor will order two or
three drops OF laudanum, or a hot salt
solution 10 be run gently into the ear.
Or in a severe case he may think leeches
advisable, or he may raise a small blister
behind the ear.
When the pain is caused by foreign
body, like pea or shoe button that a
child has pushed into his ear, an effort
must be made to dislodge il by very
gentle Swinging; but if that fails, on no
account should the family try a piece OF
twisted wire, or harpin, or any similar
contrivance. The ear specialist is the
orIy maroon who ran he trusted 10 work
safely inside the human ear.
Some children suffer from chronic in
flammation OF the ear, without suppur-
alton, but often associated with adenoid
growths in nose and throat. That con-
dition calls for special treatment and the
removal of the adenoids, for il is one OF
The most frequent causes OF obstinate
deafness.

A Cat Or a Father.

In his Life OF Thomas b. Reed" Mr..
Samuel w. Mccall tells this story about
the former Speaker. who was an un-
usually large man.
When his daughter Katherine, or Kitty,
as he called her, was little girl, she had
a cat 10 which she was much devoted.
One day the kitten was sleeping in Reeds
chair when he was about 10 SIT down.
His daughter, in horror, gave the chair
sudden pull TO save the cat from annihila-
ton. and as a result Mr.. Reed sat down
heavily on the floor. II was rather
serious happening for man OF his size.
and even lesser man might easily have
lost his temper. But the only notice he
took OF the matter was TO say gravely,
after he had got on his feet, kitty, re-
member that il is easier to get another
cat than another father"
