HIDE THEIR REAL FAVORlTEs

Now and again men of letters and
other persons more or less in the pub
lie eye are requested to put them
selves to the question and to write
out list of their favorite characters
In fiction. Sometimes they are hidden
TO stand and deliver the names of
stalwart heroes, and sometimes they
are desired to lisp lovingly a list of
loves heroines.
And as these men of letters and 9TH
er persons more or less in the public
eye are human, after all, and therefore
hyno"riteS, they are likely to go on the
stand with no intention of telling fhe
whole truth, says Scribner's Magazine
Their secret delight may be in the
mysterious vengeances of Nick of the
Woods; yet this is what they would
never dare confess, so they get out Il
search warrant and they take up a
collection Of their thoughts in order
to produce their first choice Achil-
les or Ulysses, Gargantua or Marius
the EpiCurean.
They are equally lacking in frank
ness where they volunteer to name
bevy Of herOines. They may make
bluff of Indifference to beauty by put
ting in Jane Eyre; bat no one of them
would be bold enough to acknowledge
his snealling fondness for Becky Sharp,
that most fascinating villainess
Thackeray tried to make us dislike
Mrs. RaWdOn Crawley, thereby incur
ing the reprOach of Taine--tO the eff
feet that her creator did not love
Becky as Balzac loved Nine Marneffe.
Yet, try as hard as he could, Thack-
cray failed to arouse in the average
sensual man any detestatiOn for the
lmpersOnator of Clytemnestra ut the
Gaunt House theatricals. In fact, If
the average sensual man had his
choice, he would rather take in to din
ner Becky than the bIameless Amelia
beloved by the long-sufferng Major
DObbin.

His Choice.

A school teacher in the Italian quar-
ter Of Chicago had been telling her
pupils certain Of the fables Of Apsop.
and Of these the story Of the fox and
the grapes seemed especially TO appeal
to one dusky son Of Italy
BY stroke of luck he teacher was
enabled to hear the lad give his YER
sion to Il LAD in another class.
In delicious dialect the hoy re-
counted the fable pretty much as it is
written until lac reached the climax,
which he rendered thus:
"Den de- olda fox he say, I thinka da
grape no good, anahow. | guess | go

10 manner.
The speaker devoted but q small PARTON of his address
% his candidacy. He said that he came before the people
Of the county asking their support on his past record.
He satdSthat he did not ask anyone to vote for him be-
cause he wa from this section Of the state, because he
was wellAnown In Marion county or because he had
suffered %priyationss in early life. ALI that he asked was
mat the voters deliberately consider his qualifications
6ur the Office Of Governor. and that II he sized up to be a
bstter man than his opponent, to cast their ballot for
him..

Or the same section Of the state, I would not be a At man

Judge Robinson, in a gentlemanly manner, answered
fertatn{ statements which have been made against him In
the campaign thus far. He said that he was not the can.

Henry D. Hatfield and that no special class or clique In
particular had caused him to become a candidates.; but
that u was through the urgent appeal from all parts of

~ snly and absurd the statements made from time to time
mat should he be elected he would be dominated by the
present Governor Of West Virginia. He stated that his
past record showed that he never had been dominated
and That he believed sufficiently In his character that he
wouldSnotl be dominated in the future by any man or DOW.

The Judge pointed out that the worst any of his CD.

man but in bad company.

MAY HAVE TENDERS.
1CCoRDING to reports received on Saturday, the
~ street cars Of this city may be fitted with tenders
in the near future. This Is good news. It is another
step in carrying out the general scheme Of Safety First"
It Is said that the general manager Of the Monongahela
Valley Traction Company has been to Charleston and
has talked the fender proposition over with the Public
Service Commission and that the model Of fender to be
used here has been decided upon. The traction company
will now confer with the city officials OF all cities where
the cars Of the company are operated, and II the officials
offer no objections. the tenders will be purchased. It Is
hardly likely that any city official would dare to, go on
record as being against the Safety First" movement,
and It therefore stands to reason that the tenders will
likely be made a part Of the traction company equipment.
Some time since. after a serious accident in this city.
the West Virginian suggested that It would be a great
community benefit II the local street cars had some sort
Of a safety device to prevent persons knocked down from
being dragged under the wheels and mangled. It that
time the traction company advanced several reasons why
they could not have tenders on the local street cars.
Since that time, however. they have suffered a change
Of vision, and we are glad Of It.
The West Virginian sincerely hopes that the talk
about the tenders is not merely idle gossip or a "dust
throwing" contest. It Is certain that the traction com.
pany will make a ten strike for public approval IL they
carry out the plans for the safety of the citizens of Fair.
mont, as It is intimated that they will do.
By all means let us have tenders on the local cars.

CONTROL.

y FADING of the vast energy that Is wasted because
IN certain water power sites are not yet controlled,
we ponder (the spring season being an apt time
for this harmless pursuit) on the incalculable amount Of
human energy that Is wasted every day because Of lack
of control.
Vitality, stamina, physical strength and mental gifts
count for little without control.
Tho individual who has mastered a system Of control
is certain to become q success.
Persons who fling their stock in trade, ability to do
things In every direction without thought of aim or rea.
son. soon exhaust their assets.
Ambition Is one Of the chietest Of American character.
tsttcs: those Americans who stand head and shoulders
above the herd have mastered control. Cultivate it.
