The Man Who Wios.
The following timely verses were handed to us by Civil Engineer-Frank
M. Taylor who has made good .and would encourage
others.
The man who wins is an average man,
Not built on any peculiar plan,
Not blest with any peculiar luck,
Just steady and earnest, and full of pluck.
When asked a question, he does not guess,
He knows, and answers "no" or "yes."
When set at a task that the rest can't do,
He buckles down till he's put it through.
Three things he's learned; that the man who tries
Finds favor in hia employer's eyes,
That it pays to know more than one thing well,
That it doesn't pay all he knows to tell.
So he works and waits till one fine day-
There's a better job with bigger pay,
And the men who shirked whenever they could
Are bossed by the men whose work made good.
For the man who wins is the man who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks,
Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes,
The man who wins is the man who tries.

in your kitchen you won't have heat all the time, but just when you
need it The water gets hot off goes the heat, fuel expense stops,
the kitchen cools ofi You save money, time and work.
And the Perfection will take, boil, fry or roast at a minute's notice.

Let's Have a Flag.
As a sample of what large flags
cost, we cite the one raised at
Lewiston last week. A fine srlk
and wool flag, 20x30 feet was
purchased by popular subscription
and raised on the ridge that lies
at the edge of town. The flag
cost about $120 00 wholesale
price to dealers, the retail price
being twenty or thirty dollars
more. We believe that a flag
equally as large and of as fine
quality could be purchased -by
popular subscription and raised
on Tuscarora Heights residents
of both sides of the mountain be
ing permitted to subscribe. But
we believe the citizens of Mc
Connellsburg and vicinity would
alone give that much, donate a
high flag staff and erect the flag
on the Court House Square if
given the opportunity. Nearly
$100 00 are frequently taken in
for one night's entertainment in
the Auditorium, but a flag such
as described would afford a whole
summer's entertainment at an
average cost of 25 cents for each
of the play-goers in this vicinity.
