EMMA j. BURNSIDE SAYS "GOD
BE PRAISED" FOR merry
WORTH.

The Burke Drug Stores Merry
Worth sales not only continue to
make almost unbelievable records IN
Clarksburg itself, but the out-of-
town demand for this matchless
nerve tonic rises to higher levels
every week. One Of his Weston Gus
toners, Emma ]. Burnside, is about
the most enthusiastic Nerv-Wortn
user yet developed, as her letter,
printed below and written some time
ago proves:
Burke's Drug Store--I wish to say
that l have used one bottle OF your
valuable Nerv-Worth.
1t has done me so much good and
restored my nerves so greatly that
can say, may God be praised-and
the man who Invented the valuable
remedy
could not sleep at night and my
food did not digest and now can
eat and sleep SO sweetly.
l recommend it (Nery-Worth) to
all who are suffering from indiges-
tIon and nervousness.

SWIFT CONQUEST
OF PUBLIC MIND
MADE BYHUGHES

story of the most interesting civilian
Of the year in England The self
made Yaukee-lilte Welshmah, the
self-schooled workingman, protection
list, labor uniOnist, socialist, is now
leaving the old country after a visit
Of four months, and is leaving Il pop
ular following comparable only to
that commanded by another seli-made
Welsh politician, Lloyd George. The
only reason Hughes has not made
more public speeches, attended more
banQuets arranged to do him honor,
given more newspaper interviews, re-
Ccived the freedom Of more cities, adj
dressed more chambers Of commerce,
and accepted degrees from more uni
versities, has been that HIS time was
crowded to the utmost with such
functions, and that his voice and his
frail body succumbed at an early
stage of the ordeal and compelled him
to retire for some weeks to Banator-
ium.
The oratorical output of the Aus
tralian prime minister has compared
fayorably with the efforts of an Amer
lean presidential candidate OF the
most heroic stun. The number of
addresses, large and small, which the
newspapers have reported stretch
well over a hundred. At Liverpool,
Manchester, Edinburgh and other
great provincial cities, such crowds
have welcomed his arrival as few
public men in civil life have seen
since the famous electioneerlng tours
of Gladstone during his most popular
years. He has made speeches before
every type OF public and private or

TAM M ANY DEAD.

"Tammany is dead. That is the true significance of the election returns from New York City," says the World of recent date.
 Tt is hardly worth while to charge the Fourteenth street organization with treachery toward the Democrat ic national ticket or the Democratic state ticket or the Democratic senat- orial ticket. Whether there was trea- chery or not on the part of Tammany leaders, their disloyalty could have had no important bearing on the re- suit.
 New York is done with Tammany Voters will not follow it Mir. Mur- phys organization tries to maintain sembance of life and to go through some of the motions of vitality, but it is a living corpse. It still collects campaign funds. It still absorbs cam paign funds after it's fashions, but there it's political functions cease.
 "Tammany's showing in this cam paign will have an exceptional inter- est in the municipal election of 1917. Speaking in general terms, we should say that the stampede next fall to avoid the Tammany nomination for mayor will tax the resources of the police reserves.
 If New York is ever again to be great Democratic city, it must have Democratic organization that can com mand the support and confidence of the Democratic rank and file. The Democratic party cannot live in New York if it is to be chained to body of death-and Tammany is dead"

Curious Street Namas.

The list Of curious street names is
inexhaustible. Bermondsey possesses
a Pickle Herring street. Near Gray's
inn there is to be found Cold Bath
square. Most of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden ironically
enough in the slums of the east end.
But for really bizarre street names
one should go to Brussels. The Short
Street of the Long Chariot, the Street
of the. Red Haired Woman and the
Street of Sorrows are remarkable
enough to catch the least observant
eye. The Street of the One Person Is,
as one might guess, considerably mar.
rover than Whitehall. But the cream
Of Brussels street names surely belongs
to the Street of the Uncracked Silver

made.
Will not the republicans mock
as if we plan expenditures on a
large scale, without first making
sure of the money necessary to
meet these expenditures We
adopt this precaution in other mat
tiers, why should we make an ex-
ception of this particular kind of
expenditures
And would it not deliver us into
the hands of the republicans to
create the necessity for additional
revenue without first providing for
the raieing of the revenue neededg
Would they not be in position to
dictate termsG And would they
not be likely to take advantage of
tie opportunity to demand a re-
turn to protective tariff They
are loudly, proclaiming that our
revenue law is a failure, and pre-

acceptance Of protection condition

trap If congress wants to enter
upon the extravagant military and

An Artists STRUGGLES.

Professor Won Herkomer, the famous
painter, had such a struggle to gain
a living in his early days that had 1t
not been for his inexhaustible stock of
patience and self confidence he would
probably have abandoned art entirely.
He sold his first picture for 2 guineas
and later on earned for short time
a couple of pounds weekly for a wood
cut which he supplied to comic paper.
This modest salary coming to stop,
he was at his wits end to know what
to do. He applied to a troupe Of min
strels for an engagement as either
player, but In vain, and then took to
designing carpets. For some years he

In the annals Of the French army
Mustache is still celebrity. Mustache
was one Of the dogs used in the Italian
campaign when Napoleon was first

from a night surprise and humiliation.
Later he tracked and captured a spy
who had secured valuable information.
But this dogs browning achievement
was at the battle Of Austerlitz. The

just fallen dead. Mustache's teeth and

Getting the Habit of Thrift.

A writer in an exchange tells US
that, in a western city, by depositing
a small weekly or monthly saving,
twelve thousand persons accumu-
lated fund of $275, 900 for Christ
mas purposes. The depositing of
a few cents week or month, when
wage is received, will cultivate a
habit of thrift, and an economical
handling of money even in those not
naturally frugal. The first few
times, the denial necessary for the
purpose may be something of a
strain; but the small sums will
hardly be missed during the year :
the fact that the money is 'spiling
up" will soon become interesting,
and in every case, the amount ac-
cumulated at the end of given
time will be pleasant surprise.
We are told that it is the first dollar
or hundred dollars that is the hard
est to save; after that, the saving
is easier, because of the growing
habit of thrift Waste, extrava-
gance and excuses are too prevalent
and want is always sure to follow
in their footsteps. The fact that
we have small bank account
stiffens our backbone, and gives a
self-respect that nothing else can
do, when the money has been saved
through thrifty habits. Children
should be taught that waste is
criminal, and careful saving should
be insisted upon. Too many
people are "leaners,' and leaner
is generally an object of contempt,
lacking the respect of others, and
woefully deficit in respect of self.
Begin the new year by putting aside
a few cents from each dollar earn
ed, and as fast as the cents become
a dollar, put it into savings bank
leaving it there to grow, while you
add other dollars to the first.

The Burden OF Preparedness.

An immense military burden is
to be fastened onto theebacks of the
American people, if the lingo MUM
tion interests can scare them into
it. The din of their noisy clamor
for preparedness is being heard
in every part of the United States.
Any kind of preparedness is &C
ceptable, whether the present war
shall prove it right or wrong, SO
that it leads to embarking the
United States on a course that in
evitably will insure the spending
of huge sums for armament. The
most modest amount the jingoes
have yet mentioned for such yearly
expenditure, is 450 million dollars,
a sum equal to the entire savings
of all the people in fifteen states of
the Union. At least hadn't we
better wait few months that we
may know better what we should
prepare Tor and how we, should
prepare for it, instead of being
stampeded into some colossally ex
pensive folly?- Oklahoma Farmer.

The IRON MAIDEN.
Her Dread Embrace Meant Cruel and
Certain Death.

Her Dread Embrace Meant Cruel and
Certain Death.
In an ancient tower at Nuremberg a
strange figure is shown to visitors. It
is called the Eiserne Jungfrau Qron
Maiden) because it looks like woman
dressed in rusty iron. At about the
waist are two handles by means Of
which the front Of the figure is opened
on hinges, like two doors, from the
chin down, leaving the face unsep-
arated.
The heavy and massive doors bristle
inside with spikes as sharp as dag
gers, about twenty Of which point in-
ward toward the chest and two Of
which, longer than the others, are fixed
inside the face behind the eyes.
The Eiserne Jungfrau was an instru-
ment of execution reserved for shame
less women. When one of these was
condemned to death she was placed in
side the figure, and the doors were
closed. This forced the spikes into her
vital organs and through her eyes into
her brain. Death was quick or slow,
according to the speed with which the
doors were closed.
The base of the figure is trapdoor.
When the doors were opened and the
victim freed from the spikes the trap
door was sprung and her body dropped
through a deep hole into torrent that
still flows under the castle. A tip OF
few pfennigs will have the hole lighted
with electric lamps, and the visitor can
look down and see the dark water,
