COL. L. E. TIERNEY.
r: he Wyoming Tribune finds in Col.
L. E. Tiorney a worthy candidate for
i*:o I'nited States Senate because he
■ as stayed with the McDowell county
Republican gang and tried to keep it
' rom gobbling up everything in sight.
^ es, he has done this and more, lie
has spent his time and money In the
interest of Democracy when the chan
ces of winning were so remote that
they hardly entered into the consider
ation. if. however, Col. Tierney’s
strong allegiance to the party were all
he had to recommend him for the po
sition we certainly would not favor
his candidacy. But it Is not. He is
an able man, a brainy man. a clean
man. an honest man and a successful
business man. He not only has the
interest of uis party at heart but the
interest of his state and nation. It
nay be depended upon that he will
work tor these should he secure the
I'nited States senatorship just as
loyally and faithfully as he ever work
ed for his party in McDowell counrv.
We are glad to see that the ea »11
dacy of Col. Tierney is rapid*.* g,x\«.1
ii g in popularity in all parts of t.l.o
state, and wo believe that he wii: he
• ■ i
one of the potent factors in tli*» sehn'
toiial light with a most excellent
chance of election.
The Tribune says:
"A man who stays with that Me
Dowell county ring like Col. L. K.
Tierney, or Powhatan, whose friends
ate booming him for United States
Senator, is outi* loci to consideration
at tin* hands of his fed low-Democrats.
Col. Tiernew has spent his time and
money, his friends say, to keep »!»:■»
machine from gobbling up the whole
thing in McDowell, and that shows
that he has the interest of the rest of
the State' at heart.”

It Is related that once when Mr.
Clemens visited the Flatiron store
Mr. Flaherty asked if he could send
him some cigars, to which the hu
morist replied that he did not need
any nt the time, a friend having sent
him some as a gift. Knowing Mr
Clemen’s taste in the matter of cig
-r. Mr. Flaherty inquired if they
were as good as the Murdi (Iras lire
Vtt, the cigar Mr. Clemons smoked al
most exclusively —and if they wort
made of Havana tobacco.
• No.” ho said. “I can't say they are.
The nearest description 1 can give o
them is that the wrappers tit lik*
.Mother Hubbards and the tillers tnst<
like discarded clergymen's habits.”
Another time when .Mr. FlaherC
was calling at .Mr. Clemen's house the
author became reminiscent >» j* ,
subject of smoking,
"You know, I could not write with
out smoking.” he said. ‘Once I had
started to write a book and had fully
made up my mind to quit smoking
just to sue if my thoughts would run
along a new line. Well, they surely
did. for I wrote for three whole days
and felt proud of my will power in
abstaining so long from a habit In
which 1 had indulged for so many
years. Then 1 did something l had
never done before; l took ail the
manuscript I had written and road it
over. 1 have often thought since ho
fortunate for me that my publishers
-
neer saw it for I tore up the whole
tiling. I ihen ailed my pipe, and
before I closed my eyes that night I
smoked live pipefuls and wrote just1
twice as much us I had destroyed.
\\ hatj* mou, 1 never read it over un
til the oodk published."
"Ves. smoking is a great thing," he
wont on. I onto told an old lady j
who seemed anxious about my smok
ing ‘hui.flr uui> tiling | regretted
was that 1 could smoke only one cigar
at a turns'' *

'•COUNTV STiLL SAFE.
It is given out that linuncjul lead
ers are fe irt'ol on account of Pi ck
ilent Taft’s judicial appointments and
it is wildly stated that it is believed
die Supreme ( ouit us now eon Unit
d will dissolve the Standard Oil com
pany. The big trusts are also to be
given a dose ol the same medicine.
Wo have no Idea that anything like
this is going to happen, but we do
believe that the court will see tint the
laws inuUc.XQj- the regulation of these
monopolies will be executed in the
cases wli}ch come before it. Tin

lay of Democratic /opportunity ar
rives.
Hut don t become unnecessarily
ilarmed. This glorious Republic of
mrs Is still safe, and it will be a lot
safer when the big combinations of
capital gets what is coming to them.

Hudson 55”
We are glad to advise you that the factory state
the new 1^11 f Iudson 33 f ouring Car which
The Bluefield Evening Leader
are giving as a prize
was shipped from Detroit, Dec. 9th, and should arrive
here by Saturday, the 17th.
The Leader not satisfied with giving the latest
and one of the best of the new 1911 cars has ordered
the car equipped with a magneto so that the actual
value they are offering is not $1,250 but $1,330 and
the lucky winner will will possess a car right up to the
minute in every way.
Your attention is also called to the fact that those
of our friends who wish cars next spring are very like
ly to be disapointed unless they make a deposit of $100
a car now. Notwithstanding we ordered this car
nearly two months ago, it was with the greatest diffi
culty we secured the prize car to be delivered in time
for the contest.
1 he Hudson Agency in New York City has con
fracted for over three hundred cars, Philadelphia for
about the same number and the factory representative
today advised us that unless we secured deposits by
January first he could give us no additional cars until
June or Julv.

A Car Is Cheaper Than A Hoise
When its not in use your expense stops, you can
go to Princeton and back in one hour and a half,
and any road a horse and wagon can take a car can
travel in half the time.
It gives you a means of entertainingyour busi
ness and social friends, takes your mind oft your
worries and brings you and your family out into
God’s fresh air. You will be a better man in every
way by owning a car. Think it over.
1
When ycu se? this new Hudson, and go over
it carefully, ^ou will also confirm the good
judgment of l he Leader in offering such
splendid va ue for a pri^e when they could
have readily secured a cheaper car to puf up.
Don t b!am? us if when summer comes vou want
a Hudson car too, and w? can not secure one
har you, th? only way vou can make sure is to
put up your deposit now, and we promise you
fh it n?xt spring, if you don t want the car, you
can readily find some ohe else who will only
b« ’ oo glid to take it off your hands, ahd
probably pay a bonus for doing so. To which
class will you belong,
e will gladly store any car purchased be
tween now and February first free until April
and will also gve .you a first class Srewart
Sp?edmeter worth $25.
that tlu* male teacher in these grades
contributes qualities to the pupil not
equally contributed by the women -
tn other words, a different kind of
work is done by the men and of some
value.” This opinion so expressed
seems to have given great offense to
an association of women teachers and
to have caused an outpouring of sar
casm. One lad> teacher suggested
that tlie two most distinctive qualities
tlio men toacheis impart are ‘‘gum
chewing and the elevation of the
feet.” Another lad) toaoh<*r told of
a .nun tear her who advi od his clisscs
of boys tc learn to smoke and chew
so ns not to in* mollycoddles. If these
:.;at nn nts are correct as showing the
uiaracter of the men employed as
teachers in New York, then all right
thinking people will sympathize with
the association of ludy teachers. It
seems to be the opinion in Haltltnore
that women are best qualified as
teachers of girls and small children,
hut that largo hoys should have men
over them. This theory is not accept
ed by tho New York lady teachers.
As '• boy is turning into a man, one
< f tc.ese ladies said, “Is tlie period of
Hfo when, if ever, he is to get the
right idea ol man's relation to women
and of what ids duties of life are to
be in a social way. “Surely," she ad
ded. "not even the board of eduose
non would contend that a man could
give these things better than a wo
man, or as *veTS'
'the questions involved i 1 this dls
mission are difficult, and not to be
(rented lightly. Hut the practical and
financial situation must not be Ignor
ed. Women have the monopoly of
employment as teachers in the ele
mentary schools for two reaso is:
l'itst it is tlie belief that they are
best fitted to teach small children;
they have more patience, tact, and
gentleness than men; second, single
women are willing to work for salar
ies that men, most of whom have
others dependent on them, cannot af
ford* to work for. The cost of public
location is so heavy that unless wo
men can be found who will work for
small salaries, (ho taxation for the
support of tile schools would be
blighting upon tlie community. Hut
it doc h seem wrong to pay a man
more for doing given work than is
laid to a woman who is doing the
same work as well or better. That is
injustice which seems hard to
cure. Baltimore Sun..

Hunters, Peware!
A farmer in a county in Central
I'ennsyBania lias posted his woods
nst hunters. When asked by n
Ti:an, who had been rending one of
the notices, whether ho intended to
enforce them strictly, the fanner re
plied:
“Do 1? Do I aftcr my experience of
last fall? Peppered my old cow in
the face, broke a sheep’s log runnin*
it. down a bank, tore the load pipe out
o’ my spring, stoppin* the water at my
house and burn right in corn shuck
in’, blowed off part of my colt’s tail,
thinkiu’ it a squirrel in the bushes;
set the woods on lire so’s we had to
light it all night for a week after,
killed my ducks and game rooster,
broke down fifty rods o’ post and
r til fence; and then wonder if 1 mean
it when I put up ’Keep Out’ notices.
Why, mister, no hunters gits in
them woods no more, not even If thej
swear on a stnek of Bibles that they
want to hunt for a lost child."—Mack’s
.National Monthly.
