Life is like patchwork; every.day there is a fresh bit to be put on. We must understand more correctly how to fii in better day by day the bits needed in repairing this patchwork life of The President has returned from his trip through the middle West. But he is no better off than he was before. In one of his recent speeches President Taft declared that he wasja progressive. Mis vetoes of progressive measures tell a different tale.

Tme political boomers of President Taft are "pointing with pride" to his public record. This means that they are glad it is no worse. Another broadside has been fired at Woodrow Wilson by Col. Henry Watterson. Isn't it queer now much noise a blank charge makes The Baltimore hotel keepers seem to be ot the opinion that the real object of the national Democratic convention is to attord them opportunity to rob visitois to that city.

The good fairies must be with Woodrow Wilson. Every time he opens his mouth to speak, pearls of truth and wisdom fall theretrom exactly as the old fairy story tells of. He is the clearestheaded speaker and thinker in the country today. POOR old Maryland, especially Baltimore, suffers from legislative delinquencies perhaps more than any other section. Yet what else be expected, when the Legislature is dominated by the political sharxs who in turn take their orders from the whiskey dealers? The other day a Koman Catholic priest came out Doldly and publicly as an advocate 01 the whiskey saloon in Baltimore.

You can find some one generally to take any sort of a stand on any puoiic or priyate question. Por instance, Congressman Sulloway, of New Hampshire, vigorously denounces the toothurush and advocates tooacco chewing and snuft dipping. The President and his campaign directors are now said to be concerned greatly over the Roosevelt sentiment in West Virginia, although at tirst they made light ol it. There's no doubt that a very large majority or me nepuuncans 01 11115 oiaic are tor Roosevelt, and while the lau inen may manipulate afiairs so as to secure the delegates to the nominating convention, they will never be able to carry the State afterward. Senator Watson introduced in the Senate a tew days ago a bill to remove the tanft ol 25 percent on potatoes.

The supply ot potatoes grown in this country is growing very small, and great quantities are being imported horn Ireland and Canada and other foreign countries. Yet before they get on the poor man's table he has to pay a revenue tax of 25 per cent, which is an unnecessary and burdensome tax upon him that doesn't benefit a single person. Senator Watson's bill is a very proper measure, and his contention that the duty should be liftea at least until next September is logical and sensible. The belief is growing among the Democrats know it of a neither President Taft nor Colonel Roosevelt can be elected next November, and so they are beginning to talk of a compromise candidate. Justice Hughes of the United States Supreme Court, a New York man, is regarded as the most available dark horse.

A compromise candidate, however, wiil not avail. The revolt in this country is against the Republican policies, and a new deal will be called for on this account. The people are against the outrageous tariff and the domination of the corporations and other evils that are directly attributable to Republican princi pies. The redoubtable Colonel Roosevelt is causing exceeding discomfort to his erstwhile friend, President Taft. The Colonel dares the President to submit the fight for delegates to the arbitrament of primary elections, a challenge that the President cannot possibly accept, for he will most certainly lose out if this plan is adopted.

The Roosevelt Republicans declare that it will take the most popular man in the party to win this year, ano they say that the only way to ascertain who is the party's choice is by a primary vote. There is no disputing this logic, but Roosevelt would beat Taft four to one in a direct vote and the Taft men know it, so they are forced to adopt the gum shoe method of securing delegates. But isn't a presidential candidate in a bad way when he dare not trust the voters of his own party Announcement is made of the death at Mahomet, Illinois, of Capt. Jesse McNeill, famous throughout Maryland and the Virginias in the Civil War as the commander of McNeill's noted Rangers, who succeeded his father, Capt. J.

Hanson McNeill, as captain of the company upon the death of the father early in 1863. Jesse McNeill commanded 200 Rangers who secretly entered Cumberland, in the tall ot 1863 and captured Federal Generals Crook and Kelfey while they were asleep in hotels surrounded by more than 10,000 Union soldiers. This raid was puided hv the late laroh ftass man, of Martinsburg, who had formerly been a clerk in the hotel and was acquainted with unused passageways leading to the rooms occupied by the Federal generals.

A. Obituary.

Died on February 28, 1912, at her home near Shepherdstown, little Mabel Caton, the beloved and only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Caton. sne leaves a fond mother and father and two bright little brothers to mourn her loss. As the tender flower is cut down by the first frost of autumn, so does the short life appear.

We could see day by day that her little form was growing weaker, while her spirit was ever gaining strength. She was buried from the Reformed Church, ot which her parents and grandparents are members. The church was filled with sorrowing friends and loved ones, and heartfelt was the sympathy extended to her bereaved father and mother. She had been the priJe of their hearts for only nine short years, when for some unknown reason God sent his angel messenger to guide her safely home. While we cannot understand God's dealings, yet we can look up to him and say, "Father, thy will be done." Cheer up lather, cheer up mother.

Lay oil your thoughts of grief and pain. For you know that little Mabel rests so sweet. And does not want this home again. She is happy. 0.

so happy. In her home far up above. And she will tell the other angels Of her mother's and father's love. We all know how much you miss her, And pray to see her just once more. But if you'll only trust in Jesus, You will meet her in the land of evermore.

I know she is waiting there to see you. For when she bid her last good-bye. Her faint tittle voice well told you To meet her in the sweet by-and-by. BY A FRIEND. Obituary.

WM. H. WILSON. A BALD-HEADED WOMAN. Shorn ot ner trown ui Dcamj, uum in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to woman. Who could love and marry a bald-headed What charms could one array to offset such a disfigurement? A woman's goal is usually love and marriage. Her crowning glory is her hair The loss of her hair mars her beauty, happiness and success. Yet, right here in Shepherdstown, there are thousands of women who are neglecting or injuring their hair to such an extent that it is 01 ly a matter of time when it will be utterly ruined. Many women destroy the beauty of their hair through thoughtlessness or ignorance of certain facts.

They use curling irons over-heated, or to excess, which destroys the natural oil of the hair, causing it to split, break, and come out. They do not shampoo their hair often enough, or too often. They use soaps or preparations which contain ingredients positively harmful to the scalp and hair. As a result of such treatment, dandruff is created, the hair loosens, loses color, falls out, and baldness commences, unless proper and prompt precautions are taken in time. Then again, microbes and certain diseases bring about unhealthy scalp and hair conditions.

Almost any woman may rid herself of dandiufi and diseased scalp and hair if she will but use the right remedy. We have that remedy, and we will positively guarantee that it will either cure dandruff and baldness or it will not cost the user anything. That's a pretty broad statement, but we will back it and prove it with our own money. We will return your money if you do not find that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is an entirely satisfactory remedy that will promote hair growth and overcome scalp and hair trouoles; that it will grow hair even on bald heads, unless all life in the hair roots has been extinguished, the follicles closed, and the scalp is glazed and shiny. It gets the name from the fact that it grew hair in 93 out of 100 cases, where it received a thoroughly iiarrl imnjriiul anrl nractiral We want you to try Rexall "93" Hair Tonic at our risk.

You surely cannot lose anything by doing so, while you have everything to gain. You had better think this over, and then come in and see us about this offer. You will be well repaid for your visit to our store. Remember, you can get Rexall Remedies in this community only at our Rexall Store. Owens Miller, Shepherdstown.
