"To Know All Is to Forgive All." If I knew vim and you knew mo -If both of us could clearly see, And with tin inner sight divine The meaning of your heart iind mine, I'm sure that, we would differ less And clasp our hands in friendliness: Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew yon, and you knew me. If I knew you and you knew me, As ench one knows his own self, we Con'd look each other in the face And see therein a truer grace. Life has so many hidden woes, So many thorns for every rose; The "why" of things our hearts would see, If 1 knew you and you knew me. Nixon Waterman. Ancient Telegraphy. Lnn before the davn of the ' Christian era wireless methods of communteatiug intelligence to u distauce were employed not olwtric telegraphs us the term is jreneraJly understood, it is true, but wireless they certainly were. Polybius, the Greek historian, describes a telegraph system em ployed for military purposes, 300 15. C, iu which torches were plac ed on high walls iu prearranged positions to correspond to letters of the Creek alphabet, and by u suitable manipulation of the tor ches messages were thus trans mitted to a distance. The Gauls, too, were wont to transmit impor tant iutulli'euce to a distauce by a cruder but simpler method. A messenger was sent to the top of a hill, where he shouted his mes sage, apparently to the winds. Soon from afar a remote voice repeated the message to another listener further on, and thus, from one to another, the message sped, and it is recorded that in three days a message calling all of the tribes of the Gauls to arms traveled iu this way from Auver gne to the forests of A morica iu one directon, and to the banks of the Rhine in another. Later on came another wire less telegraph system the sema phore telegraph and this was in operation all over Europe prior to and for some time after the intro duction of the electric telegraph. The . semaphore telegraph em ployed . arms on posts akin to thosV' -'seen to-day along every rail'.vay in the world, and a cer tain position of the arms, like the torches in the Polybius system, corresponded to certain letters of the alphabet, and by varying the position of the arms as re quired, experts were able to transmit messages from one sta tion to the other at the rate of two or three words per minute. The towers on the top of which the s'-nuiiitioros were erecieu. were i ."0 to tit) feet high, and were plac ed on eminences six or eight miles apart. Iu Russia alone there was a string of these tow ers from the Prussian frontier to St. Petersburg, a distauce of 1, Llixi miles or more. Gassier ' Magazine. A Deep Mystery. It is a mystery why women en dure liafkaclio, Headache, Ner vousness, Sleeplessness, Melan choly, Fainting and Dizzy Spells when thousands have proved that Electric Hitters will quickly cure si: h troubles. "I suffered for years with kidney trouble," j wrir.es Mrs. Phobo Cherley, of 1',-terson, la., -and a lame back pained rno n:. I could n t dress myself, but Electric Hitters whol ly cured me, and, although 73 years old, I now am able to do all my housework." It overcomes Constipation, improves Appetite, gives perfect health.

A Dew You, We might as well Undeceive ourselves about this popular tic tion that there is a new year, just as we once did about Santa Glaus coming down the chimney. New people there may be, with new experiences, but the socalled "uew year" is only station Nine teen Hundred Two on the spiral railway of Time, just a grade nearer the sky-line than was the station Nineteen Hundred One that's all. Passengers will leave, and new ones will get aboard, and there will be various petty incidents of travel, but, with pretty much the same company on the cars, and with the same kind of landmarks whizzing past the car-windows, the only element of newness in this trip which will have more than passing value will bo within ourselves. Just here the subject widens like a Western prairie. There are twelve months, each one of which may be so transformed by the magic of new, brave striving on our part that we shall want to christen them by new names. Project into January a new spirit of concern for what Jesus would do if he were iu your place, and you will want to name it "Joy." What a beginning that would make for a "new" new year! Each of the fifty-two weeks will have but seven days, but miss no duty or opportunity in the first one, and then turn to the Master for his smile, and you will say it was a new week in your experience, and ill want to make it ,the standard for the other fifty-one. Three hundred and sixty-five exquisite new sensations are at your call. Trying to do some new service for Jesus or for his little ones will bring a new thrill of joy each day. Yes, there is a new year, but not for those that live it in the old way. There's an eternity of uewuess for each of us to exper ience; why, then, should we be satisfied with a tame repetition of last year? A new you is more thau a new year. Christian En deavor World. Child Worth Millions. "My child is worth millions to me," says Mrs. Mary Bird of Harrisburg, Pa., "yet I would have lost her by croup had I not purchased a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure." One Minute Cough is sure cure for coughs, croup and throat and lung troubles. An absolutely safe cough cure which acts immediately. The youngest child can take it with entire safety. The little ones like the taste and remember how ofteu it helped them. Every fam ily should have a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure handy. At this season especially it may be needed suddenly. Rules For Diet. 1. Eat when you are hungry. 2. Drink when you are thirsty. ;i. Eat enough, and. then stop. 4. Eat what your appetite calls for. j. Train your appetite and stomach by eating the greatest possible variety. You are not a shirk; why should you let your stomach become one? Many foods are not liked the first time they are tasted, such as oysters; heuce unless you try a thing sev eral times, you do not know whether you like it or not. Hence, never say you dislike a thing till you have eaten of it three times. tj. Regulate the comparison of your food by the work you do, using strong food when you are doing, hard work, lighter food when sedentary. 7. Don'tletyourdoctorattempt to regulate your diet by his own stomach. K Beware of the diet crank. All beyond this is foolish and vexation of the stomach Candian Housekeeper. , . " . , ,D M Four eks With La Grippe. We have received tho following letter from Mr. Roy Kemp, of Angola, Ind., "I was in bed four weeks with la grippe and I tried many remedies and spent consid erable for treatment with physi cians, but I received no iclief uu tU I tried Foley's Honey and Tar. Two small bottles of this medi cine cured me and I now use it exclusively in my family," Take no substitutes. All dealers. The Future of Our Nation. Our nation is a great and pow erful one and may eoutiuue to le so if we will endeavor to secure and hold tho friendship of other goverments and nations iustead of exciting their jealousy and ill will; but if wo were to day plung ed into a war with any first-class European power, whatgovermeut is there in Europe or South America that would feel sorry for any great misfortune that might come upon us? We lvRve been reading some carefully prepared statements in regard to tho Pan-American Con gress iu Mexico, and from tho South American press, which seem to fully confirm our pre vious opinion that the South American nations are by no means friendly to our Monroe doctrine that they feel fully competent to manage their own affairs do not want any of our protection and would be glad to have us carefully attend to our own business and not intermed dle with theirs. The fighting spirit has grown tremendously in this country within the past few years, and is being encouraged in our colleges aud schools, and unless it can be iu some way modified by Chris tian churches, Catholic and Prot estant, and greatly increased hu maue education, it seems likely to lead us sooner or later into a war in which tho sympathies of nearly every goverment in Europe aud South America will be likely to be against us, and which, for destruction of proper ty and life aud sufferiug to both human beings aud dumb auimals, maj exceed any war in recent history. We want the most friendly rela tions with all nations especially with all nations on this side the Atlantic. A Profitable Investment. "I was troubled for about sov eu years with my stomach and iu bed half my time," says E. Dem ick, Somerville, Ind. "I spent about 1,000 and never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles aud am entire ly well." You don't live by what you eat, but by what you digest and assimilate. If your stomach doesn't digest your food you are really starving. Kodol Dyspep sia Cure does tho stomach's work by digesting the food. You don't have to diet. Eat all you waut. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures all stomach troubles. Local Institute. The second local institute of Bethel township was held at Mt. Airy school, January 17. Tho meeting was called to or der by the teacher, Miss Miunie, Funk. Mr. John H. Lewis was elected chairman. The first thing on programme was sing by the school, "Twilight is Falling, which was followed by several good recitations. The questions for discussion were as follows : "Spelling its importance and best method of teaching it." "Oral and written reproduction work, and their val ue. " "Duties of pupils, patrons and teacher." The questions were very well discussed by Prof. Palmer, Supt. Chesnut, Miss Cora Funk, D. C. Hart and others. The questions were intersper sed by several good recitations and singing by the pupils. Teachers present were Misses Cora and Minnie Funk, Miss Ollie Hess and Miss Anna Deshoug, and Messrs. B. N. Palmer, D. C. Hart and Clem Chesnut. The chairman' made a address, aud the school farewell song. closing sang a Thousands Sent Into Exile. Every year a large number of poor sufferers whoso lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to goto another climate. Hut this is costly aud not always sure.

The ice has been quite plenti ful on the mountains of Alleghany county this winter; butns yet; no serious accidents have happened. Mr. Cal Hewitt has moved back with his saw mill. Cal is a hust ler. Col. Wm. Bishop, a resident of McConuellsburg, is sojourning with the family of Mr. Clarence Gobin ou Polish mountain.

If you want to get solid with the girl's ma, ask her to ap pear at a party with alow necked govvu. A bachelor we know drops in most every day aud gives us sago advice. The last remark we heard him make was that wed lock often turns out to be a pad lock. Lots of men marry young sim ply because they are not old enough to know better.

Etter, who resides near Mar ion, and who had been making her home with her sister, Mrs. Bruce Statler, near Guilford, left Mrs. Statler's residence with the purpose, as she said, of going to visit her parents. That was the last seen of her by Lor friends. She never reached her parents' home and has not been any u hero iu the neighborhood, as far as can be learned. It is said she walked toGuilford Springs and there bought a tick et for Cliainbersbur. That is the last seen of her by any one I who knew her. j Her friends are much worried! and are trying in every way to i learn of her v hereabouts, but so i far, without success. j A mild tempered person may j be all the rage.
