CHARLESTON JOTTINGSI
BY Z. q. RoGGs.


CHARLESTON, W. Va, May "a
Representative Davidson said that it
was the duty of the Legislature to put
some corn in the Governors crib as
the chief executive Of the state had
nothing with which to go ahead with
the work that must be done in the
various departments of the state. His
speech from the start to, the finish was
full Of keen wit and brought much
laughter and applause from the house,
although the members of the Demo.
cratic party did not get the full value
of some of the best remarks.
The Democrats certainly died hard,
both in the house and in the senate,
and the way they tried to stall of the
work by long and pathetic speeches
was indeed remarkable. They one and
all claimed that the majority in the
Legislature has refused to grant them
the right TO know the true condition
of the states financies, and that they.
could not vote. for more revenue Il
they did not know whether or not
there was any more revenue needed.
1t is likely that there we're plenty
of ways open to the members of the
Democratic party TO find out the true
condition of things In the state with
out waiting until the opening Of things
in the state without waiting until the
opening Of this session and then de-
mand that special investigation be
made by a committee, an. investiga-
ton which would likely take a long
time to make and whichewould have
held the members in Charleston for
a very 1ongperiod:S n
While many OF. the Republicans were
not exactly satisfied with every pro-
vision OF the revenue bill which was
sent through. they understood that it
was as nearly, perfect as any revenue
bill could be at this time, and that
was Why's they insisted that It te~put
through without delay, and not keep
the senate and the house in session
for any more days than was needful.
The house sports ia man who in
many ways resembles ttheSfamous
movie man who died recently, John
Bunny. The person who looks SO
much like this famous fun producer is
Mr.. Duty mot Doolyl4 from Richie
county. He is a fat, round, rosy faced,
good natured gent, who in his every
action and e1:t,a esf'eclal4XGw nen
he laughs, makes n think of John,
Bunny. While this man doesinot make
a business Of being funny, he has at
the samey time a very keen sense of.
humor and from all appearances Is
a jolly good fellow. OF course, he.
is a Republican.
One Of the Republican representa-
tives paid a high compliment to
Representative Talbot, from Webster
county, in the house when he said of
him that he was as honest and fair
as a man possibly could be, and still
be q Democrat, and that he expected
that in a year or two this man would
be sitting O the Republican side OF
the house. sSa ss

keep them warm, dry and not to over
feed them. Keep the surroundings
scrupulously clean, and see that they
are free from lice. Feed easily Ii
gested feeds, providing green food,
grit, charcoal, and plenty Of fresh
water, says a writer in Farm and
Home.
There are various ways Of feeding
small turkeys, all Of which produce
good results as long as they are fed
with judgment and care. Some feed
stale bread soaked in milk and
sprinkled with little black pepper
the first few days. Feed very little
at "A time and often.
Some feed eggs baked with bread
which is mixed with sour milk, others
feed special corn bread and still
others feed nothing but a few fine
cracked grains. Green food, either
chopped cabbage, onions, daudelions,
or lettuce, should be fed in limited
way,
The second week they are fed the
same way decreasing the feeding Of
such feeds as bread and boiled eggs.
increase the feeding Of cracked grains
