their respects" the heads Of the four
great railway brotherhoods made an

Sir; shall follow! Ninety-three years
that never leaned upon cane"
In 1904, when out of the uncertain
ties of national convention. they
nominated him for yice-president. he
was eighty-one years old. hut the
delegates couldn't believe 1t as they
heheld him there among them. There
was much criticism of the conven-
tons action on this score There
had been wave of discussion on the
Rdvisah'iity of exercising more care
in mnkiuF the second nomination on
the presidential tickets than had been
customary. And there was then. rs
there still is. sound sense in the mr.
gument. Yet. Henry Gnssaway Da-
Wis. had the ticket he was on prevail
cd. would no doubt have served
through his term. He voted in two
national elections after that. An
even dozen years ago.
1t is said that the history of this
great nation began with the running
OF the first railroad train. We can
believe that or not as we choose. But
If it be Of reasonable truth. then this
mans life spanned tho chasm from
| the natal ;hen to the now. He was
ii boy Of fourteen when the first loco
motive pulled and whistled down the
ages. He has been present at the
birth of invention and observed the
I march Of the genius OF American
manhood down the decades and
through the generations. He was
! not only spectator. but actor in the
great opc industrial and political
drama of our country. He pioneered
with the pioneers and lived far be-
yond his time. privileged TO behold
the things complete. During his life
/ time, he saw vast continent ribbed
with steel; the oceans depths ex-
| plored; the skies navigated; air cur
rents utilized by man to carry his
messages from world to world. Night
was made into day by an Edison. and
! the lightning that Franklin brought
from the skies. harnessed to wheels
and spIndles to do the work of civil

one night last December on the inter-
urban trolley track at the north end
of Chestnut street, Arless Edgell, for
whom officers had been looking for

The bond, which was set at $500.
was furnished Monday morning after
Edgell had spent the night in the
county Jail. He was arrested Sunday
night at Northview by Deputy sheriff
Laco Wolfe, following the receipt of a
tip ut tho sheriffs office as to his
whereabouts.
Two other persons were arrested
and tried for holding up the two for
eigners, but they proved an allbi and
were released. The men were carry

LefsBoost Our City Through the Strongest
Commercial Organization isPOssible to Have

Yestment of close to $11,O00,0OU,
based upon a conservative estimate
and do not include our wholesale
iobbing or mercantile interests, nor
the mining oil or gas investments.
These would probably equal the above
figures.
And We are growing, too.
Statistics bearing on population as
taken from the census report OF 1910.
might also be interesting. For dn-
stance. Harrison county showed a
population at that time Of 1881.
as compared with 1880 in 1900, an
increase of seventy-four per cent.
Marion county showed population
ut that time Of 42,794. as compared
with S2,430 in 1910, increase thirty
per cent. Other bordering counties
of Taylor, Barbour, Upshur and Lew
is showed an increase from five to
fifteen per cent. Doddridge showed
a decrease.
Pretty good showing for our coun-
ty as compared with our neEhbors
and but few counties In the state
show greater growth In that period.
AS to the growth OF Clarksburg
and Clark and Coal districts, the fol-
lowing figures are interesting:
Clarksburg, 1910. 9,201; 1900, A.
050; percentage gain, 172 per cent
plus.
Clark district, outside of clarks-
burg, 1910. 5,425; 1900, 2,610; per-
centage gain, 108 per cent plus.
Coal district, outside OF Clarks-
burg. 1910. s,79S; 1900, 2,945; per-
centage gain, 1913 per cent plus.
Total city of Clarksburg and Clark
and Coal districts, 1910, 23,429;
1900, 9,6O5; percentage gain, 144
per cent minus.
OF the total population 23,419 for
Clark and Coal districts in 1910, it
would be a conservative claim to say
at least $4,000 OF this number are
within the limitations OF a district
which from q business and conf
mercial standpoint truly represents
Clarksburg and that this number has
easily increased to $4,000 during
the five years intervening. Every
one answering questions about
Clarksburg's population should not
hesitate to use that figure and rest
easy that they are not stretching the
truth.

HOME MEMORIES MEAN MUCH.
Duty Of Parents to Give Children
Something Which They May Re-
call With Pleasure.

Happy home memories to O back
Upon is a gift which every mother,
should plan as definitely to give to her
child as she plans definitely to give
him an education, sound health and
good judgment.
First OF all, then, it seems to me-
we owe u children memories OF a
beautiful home; a hons of simple COM
mon sense; a well-ordered home. This
would seem to me a child's very first
right. /,
And next, it seems to me, he has the
right to memories of beauty in the
home. Children are far more suscep-
tible to beauty than many of us 9
ize, and certainly the effect Of beauty
on the child's life can hardly be over
estimated. !!
Further. home to be a delightful
memory must have the beauty Of 30
liability. 1t must be a place where
people come to share its benefits, and
Its ideals. That home can hardly be
called a home which does not open
its doors often.
Besides being a healthful place, a
beautiful place, a sociable home, II
1t is to afford us enriching memo
ries, must be an intimate and sympa-
thetic place. possessing that finer In
innate sociability which grows up be-
tween the true home and it's inmates.
In all right living and thinking we
are partakers of a kind of immortality,
Tor death does not touch these things.

RATHER SPOILED THE EFFECT
Lawyers Eloquent Address NuIIified
When His Opponent Related
a Little Fable.

a barrister who was possessed Of
an unusually loud voice was making
an eloquent address to a jury. His
case was fairly strong. and his
trumpet tones made the rafters ring,
The jury looked thoughtful and much
impressed.
The opposing barrister had q face
like a Ratchet and q thin, low voice,
He began: "As / listened to the
thunderous appeals OF my learned OPP
ponent I recalled a fable. A lion and
an ass entered into a compact to slay
the beasts Of the field and share the
spoils. The ass was to 60 into the
thicket and bray and frighten the ami
mails out, while the lion was to lie In
wait and kill the f%ugitives. Well. the
ass sought the darkest part Of the jun
gle, and, lifting up his awful voice,
brayed and brayed and brayed. The
ass was intoxicated with his own up
roar and thought he'd return to see
what the lion thought OF it. He found
the lion pale in the face and trem-
bling. What do you think of that for
braying?' said the ass. Don't you
think i scared themg Scared them?'
repeated the lion in an agitated tone.

dUST NOT BECOME MACHINE
Many Reasons Why Too Much Devo-
ton to Habit Is Fad for Indi-
vidual Worker.

This force of habit is q good thing.
It makes it possible for one to do a
5reat deal Of routine work with prac-
ically no exertion. Once the pat
ern is made, little attention is re-
luired. The brain acts almost auto
natically, moving hands and feet as
may be necessary to accomplish the
desired action.
But habit can be injurious, too. And
by this l don't mean bad habits. l
mean that the habit can be much over
lone, and that when this happens mia
live and originality die. You become
little more than a machine, and
.hough you may get through your al
loted work perfectly, you are your
self fading out as an individual, los
ing interest in existence.
You girls whose work is pretty much
all routine want to take care that
habit doesn't make an end of you. A
certain amount of routine labor is
r%estful, and good for you. But keep
from letting yourself sink into a day
in and day out routine that requires
practically no thought, hardly any at
tention. If your work tends to that
sort of thing make yourself do it in
new ways, watch out for short cuts,
bring your mind to bear on all its
details, try to seek better ways of do
ing what you are busy over. And If
| your work is really hopeless, then es-
cape from habit as much as possible
| the rest of your time. Don't SO much
as go home the same way every day
in the week, vary your amusements,
take UP some study or the side. Re.
fuse at all hazards to atrophy your
mind by falling into the unchanging
habit of doing everything the same
way, and thinking of everything the
same way.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.
