What People Say
And Some Side Remarks
Ex-Governor A. B White has always
leen a good booster for West Virginia
and when he talks of good roads
le hits a topic which gets under almost
ivery skin:
"When our good roads movement
Is completed West Virginia
will be the paradise ot the automobtllst.
There are valleys and
gorges and mountain peaks and
wooded slopes that rival anything
ot their kind in the world and the
time is coming when they will be
appreciated."
There is no prettier Dart of West
'lrgtnla than the glades out HaUeck
ray and when that road Is payed It
rill be one of the chief sight spots of
he state. Mind the prediction!
Henry L. Doherty la Quoted In the
Ictober American Magazine as saying:
"The man who thinks he la so
wise that he can give pointers to
the Almighty may be a wonderful
fellow but hs Isn't worth a dam
on a lob."
Charles L. Dickey, happy lather of
wenty-three children, claims the

i Charley Chaplin as filmland's most
popular fun-maker, is not such a remarkable
athlete as theatre-goers
would conclude. Ke is not a champion
in any branch of athletics. Carl
Kaslon Williams in "Physical Culture,
quotes Fairbanks as saying:
"i was never a topnotcher at
anything," says Fairbanks, "but all
my life 1 have been interested in
games and sports of every kind.
As a boy I was always playing ball
1 and running, jumping and swimming.
1 have always liked to box
and wrestle, play , football and
hockey, punch the bag, row a
boat, and do everything that any
healthy boy enjoys. At college 1
was exceedingly lond of football,
hut I was never among the best In
running, jumping or anything else.
I took up everything because 1 enjoyed
it. Everything was fun."
To see him jump on a horse and
climb to the rafters to oppose wild
westerners in "The Man from Painted
Post," being shown at Pittsburgh and
Wheeling this week, it is hard to figure
out what more he could do to become
a champion. At that the present pic|

Col. Robert M. Washington, a prominent
retired farmer of Hampshire
county, has filed a petition in bankruptcy
in the office of Deputy Federal
Clerk A. C. Nadenbousch here,
says the Martinsburg Journal, and will
bo shortly adjudicated by Judge Dayton.
This is one of the most remarkable
cases that has appeared in the
bankruptcy court here for years, according
to the Journal, by reason of
the fact that Colonel Washington states
that he owes $75,000, and that his total
assets are but $-15. As the $45 will be
exempted, under the law, his creditors
will get absolutely nothing. Colonel
Washington has been engaged in farming
pursuits for many years, but retired
from active life several years ago. He
at one time was well-to-do. but of late
years became heavily involved, with
the result that in his old age he finds
himself $75,000 in debt, without a dollar
with which to pay.

PHYSICIAN BELIEVES A GENUINE
REMEDY FOR THE DISEA8E
HAS BEEN FOUND.
Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy Bold by Mountain City Drug
company and all druggists, gives quicker
and more lasting relief than other
remedies costing many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous
secretions into the bowels and kidneys,
from which they are quickly thrown off
In a natural, healthy way.
Read what a reputable physician says
about Rheuma: "1 have made a most
careful investigation of the formula em?
ployed in the manufacture of Rheuma,
and I heartily recommend is as a remedy
for all forms of rheumatism. I find
Rheuma far In advance of the methods
generally employed in the treatment of
rheumatism, and altogether different
in composition from the remedies usually
prescribed."?Dr. Lyons.
This Bhould give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
