OVER AND OVER SHE ROLLED;
ROUND AND ROUND SHE SPUN.

Quacker had spent the summer in the far,
far north with Honker the Goose. In
fact, he had been born there He had
started for the far-away southland at the
same time Honker had, but when he
reached the Big River he had found plenty
to eat, and he had decided to stay until
he had to move on. The Big River had
frozen over everywhere except in this
to freeze, and there Quacker had re-
mained. You see he was a good diver.
and on the bottom of the river he found
plenty to eat No one could get at him
out there, and If Roughleg did happen
along all he had to do was to dive and
come up far away to laugh at and make
fun of Roughleg. The water couldn't get
through his oily feathers, and SO he didn't
mind how cold it was.
Now in his home in the far far north
there were so many dangers that Quacker
had early learned to be always on the
watch and to take the best care of him

he had been hunted by men with terrible
guns and he had learned all about them.

That was because he was young. it

When Quacker first saw Granny
Fox on the little beach he firted his
absurd little tail and smiled as he
thought how she must wish she could
catch him. But so far as he could see
Granny didn't once look at him.
She doesn't know I'm out. here at
all.' thought Quacker.
Then suddenly he sat up very
straight and looked with all his
might. What under the sun was the
matter with that Fox? She was aet-
ing as If she had suddenly lost her
senses. Over and over she rolled
Round and round she spun She
turned somersaults. She lay on her
back and kicked her heels in the air.
Never in his life had he known any
one to act like that. There must be
something the matter with her.
Quacker began to get excited. He
couldn't keep his eyes off Old Granny
Fox. He began to swim nearer. He
wanted to see better. He quite for

NEW YORK. January S.-Arranging
a frock to look like a coat and skirt
may be sop by the designers to those
who like suits. This was begun with
blue serge suits last spring. and 1t
struck a popular note in American life
There were two reasons for this. One
was the national fondness for the coat
suit under all circumstances, and the
other was the fact that the waist line
was being hidden when an effort was
being made to decrease its size.
The average American woman had
no desire to pull in her waist. If she
was very large she couldn't do it, and
lif she was small she didn't need to
do it. She has always liked a certain
elastic looseness. an underlined supple
ness between the bust and the hips.
The younger generation. and those
who really lead the fashions have
never known a trim waist line.
Ever since the young and slim have
had entire control over style there has
been an attempt at thinness OF waist
1line and hips through dieting and
woman took pride in the fact that
two spans of her hand ~enconipassed
her waist, now she boasts with glee
when she can slip both hands between
her corsets and her frame.
Hiding the Waist Line.
All Of these jacket frocks, as they
are called. gave a straight line to the
front and back Of thu figure that was
acceptable to all. The curious part
of it is that it came at a time when
the designers were exploiting the Vic
,orian waist. Probably the adoption of
this was q sign Of rebellion against
the other fashion. Whatever the rea-
son. the idea grew apace. and now it
has developed into a more fanciful
form.

Just curious. He wanted to see bet.

All the time Granny was cutting
up her antics she was watching
Quacker. though he didn't suspect 1t.
As he swan nearer and nearer to the
shore Granny rolled and turnbled
farther and farther back. At last
Quacker was close to the shore. If
he kept on he would be right out on
the shore in few minutes And all
the time he stared and stared. Ger
tainly it, was the most curious sight
he ever had seen. No thought OF
danger entered his head. You see,
so filed with curiosity.

Grandfather Frog never said truer
thing than that. 1t is curious, very
curious. how curiosity will get the best

Frog himself has been known to be led

curious than some others of whom we
do not expect it.

The following is copy Of cir
cular issued by the union men Of
Clarksburg. calling n meeting for
May 3, 1861:
Men and Countrymen:
THE convention at Richmond has
betrayed the trust reposed by US in
1t. 1t has usurped our rights and
transferred our citizenship to the
Southern Confederacy without our
knowledge or consent, depriving us
of the right to vote thereon. It has
appointed members to the Montgom-
cry Congress for the purpose OF sub
jugating US entirely to military
despotism; men holding the cannon
and bayonet are to be our masters. II
we wish to preserve our liberty let
US assemble in Clarksburg on Friday,
May 3. to deliberate upon our dearest
interest"
Pursuant to the above call large
meeting was held at the court house
on May 3, 1861. which was addressed
by Francis H. PierpoInt and a reso-
luton as follows was adopted:
Denounced the acts OF the Rich
mond convention in adopting the
constitution OF the Southern Con-
federacy as unauthorized. tyrannical
and done without the consent OF the
people Of Virginia.
Declared that they were for the
integrity OF the federal union in all
it hpart and would stand by the Stars
and Stripes as the dag OF their coun-
try.
That western Virginia had patient
ly submitted to the expressions of
eastern Virginia for half a century.
that II secession is the only remedy
offered by It for all our wrongs, the
day is near at hand when western
Virginia will rise in its strength and
patriotism, repudiate its oppressors

and remain under the flag. the en-.
blem Of our nationality and great
ness.
The call OF the Clarksburg con-
ventIon to the people OF northwestern
Virginia to meet in Wheeling on May
10. met with prompt and enthus-
iastic response, and the most discreet
men Of the several counties were Sc
lected to attend the meeting.
The body met on the day fixed and
after considerable discussion passed
resolutions earnestly urging the vot-
ers to be prompt at the polls on MAY
90. and vote against the ratification
OF the ordinance Of secession and also
to vote for a member Of Congress.
which had been prohibited by the
Richmond convention, and also for
state senator's and representatives.
1t was also recommended that in
the event OF the ordinance Of seces-
sion being ratified by the votes Of
the people. that the counties repre-
scented in said meeting do on June 4,
appoint delegates to a convention to
be held at such place as a committee
should designate on June II, 1851,
to devise such measures and take
such action as the safety and well
fare of the people they represent, may
demand.
The election of the twenty-third Of
May. 1861. resulted in the ratifica-
ton Of the ordinance Of secession.
Harrison county gave 694 votes for
ratification and 1891 for rejection
and elected John ]. Davis and John
c. Vance to the house of delegates
and cast unanimous vote for John
S. Carlile for Congress. The coun-
ties now composing West virginia
cast $4,000 votes. OF which 10000
were against the ordinance.
On June the following delegates
were selected to the convention TO
meet at Wheeling on June IL by
Harrison county. John J. Davis and

Lewis and w. F. Gordon secretaries.
The meeting In long preamble
complained Of the hostility OF the
northern states toward the South and
denounced in severe language the
election Of Abraham Lincoln az a sec
tional candidate and as one who had
no other claim to public notice. than
his opposition to all the southern
states and his invention Of the doc
trIne OF an irrepresslble conflict be-
tween the people OF the North and
those Of the South.
The meeting adopted long series
OF resolutions setting forth their
views partly as follows:
Resolved. That we thoroughly
approve the principles and actions OF
the general assembly, the convention
and the governor as hereinbefore set
forth. we reprobate and detest the
baneful principles and atroclOus ac-
ton Of the despot at Washington who
now exercises the power OF military
emperor, and we solemnly pledge our
selves in this hour OF trial and peril

THAT we regard 1t our duty and
we earnestly recommend that all citi-
zens loyal to the commonwealth
should at once in the manner pre-
scribed by the laws OF the land, or
ganIze themselves into volunteer
companies. procure arms and prepare
themselves and stand ready to fight
the battles Of Virginia against its hos
tile foes.

Careless Use of
Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, If
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkaii. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure ard greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thMs else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls, will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub L
in. 1t makes an abundance OF Iieh,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle OF dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified coeoanut oil at
any pharmacy, its very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

placed placards prohibiting the dis

to be dissolved into its original ele-
