Lagsnd of How a Projected Invasion Was Avertod. Rajah Buran, who was one of tha earliest rulers of India, overran the entire east with tbe exception of Chi na, killed Innumerable sultans with his own hand and married all their daugh ters. It Is suld that when the Chinese heard of his triumphant progress and learned that he had reached their frontier they became much alarmed. The emperor called a council of his generals and mandarins, and upon tbe advice of a crafty old mandarin tha following strategem was carried out: A large ship was loaded with rusty nails, trees were planted on the deck, the vessel was manned by a numerous crew of old men and dispatched to tha rajah's capital. When It arrived tha most wonderful part of the story Is that It did arrive the rajah sent an officer to as' how long It 'had taken the vessel to make the trip from China, The Chinamen answered that they bad all been young men when they set aail and that on tbe voyage tbey bad plant ed the seeds from which tbe great trees had grown. In corroboration of their story they pointed to tha rusty nails which, they said, bad been stout Iron bars as thick aa a man'a arm when they started. "You can see," they concluded, "that China must be a very long distance away." The rajah was so much impressed by these plausible arguments that be concluded be would not live long enough to reach China and abandoned his projected invasion. SNEEZING. It Must Have Boon a Violent Operation Bafore Jacob's Time. We frequently hear the expression "God bless your' uttered after some one baa sneezed. The"" expression. If we can believe CI odd In bis "Child' hood of the World," dates back to the time of Jacob. We are told In Jewish literature that previous to his time men sneexed but one in a lifetime and that waa the end of them, for the shock slew them. Jacob prevailed In prayer and bad tha fatality set aside on tbe condition that among all the nations a aneese ahould be hallowed by the words "God bless your In the "Jataka," one of tbe books of the Buddhist Scriptures, we read that the expression waa, "May the blessed Lord allow you to liver Buddha on one occasion while preaching to his disciples happened to snees. The priests gave vent to tbe exclamation, and Buddha lectured them for interrupting his discourse. 'If when a person aneesea," be ask ed, "and you aay, 'May be live,' will he live tha longer T "Certainly notl" cried tha priests. "And If you do not aay it will ha die .any tbe sooner?" "Certainly notl" waa the reply. "Then," aaid Buddha, "from this time forth if any one aneese and a priest saya 'May yon live' ha a hail be guilty of a transgression." London Spectator. The Kind Caddie. "Once la a game," aaid tha golfer, "I had the good fortune to be six botea up on my opponent by tha time tha elgtb bole was reached.

NEEDMORE. , The sleet which fell a few days ago made fine sleighing, but it was a great inconvenience for many who had to carry water to their stock. Eld. Funk will preach at Anti och next Sunday at 11 o'clock, In stead of the regular meeting at Tonoloway. Our village blacksmith made his rounds last week shoeing horses in the stables, as the Ice prevented people from taking them to the shop. number of our young people have been attending the protract ed meeting at Cedar Grove. Miss Adda Snyder spent sever al days with her sister, Mrs. S L. Winn, at Sipes Mill. Wilson Peck, of McConnells burg, spent several days visiting among his many . friends about here. The case that was tried before the Justice of the Peace in Mc Connellsburg last Saturday morn ing, of the disorderly conduct at the Nerd more Sunday school en tertainment proved a farce, and the costs put on the county. It is an outrage that the people of Pulton county must pay cost to permit such couduct as was wit nessed at tbe entertainment at Needmore. It ia certainly the duty of every parent, teacher in fact, everybody, to set an ex ample in general to the younger people wherever they go. What will our future generations be if their character depends upon such examples ? All the witness e8 on the commonwealth's side were not heard. We fail to see how such strong testimony could be so totally ignored as to justify a dismissal of the case. Must the churches, institutes, enter tainments and all public places submit to such conduct. We are becoming weary of this thing, and if the officials of the county will not help us out, who will? We cite an incident at McCon neilsburg, institute week, , when a young man "from the country" spit on the floor of the schooi building and was fined $2.50. You can squirt tobacco juice by the mouthful on the floor of the Hall at Needmore, and it doesn't cost a cent, except what the "squirt" pays for his plug. It looks like the law had one interpretation for McConneilsburg, and another for Needmore. tope ttke ecttgl sad )! lunga ROY C. CROMWELL & BRO.

We have just bought four doten Robert Mann axes, that we can aell you at that price. The way we happened to get tnem was this: The men at the factory told their employers that rather than to be laid off in the midst of winter, they would work two weeks at the wages formerly received for one.
