When others abuse us it is well
to consider the class of people
they most admire. Such reflec
tion oftentimes makes us bear
the abuse with contented cheer
fulness. Toe man ingrained with selfish
ness and who invariably acts
from selfish motives finds it well
nigh impossible to believe that
anyone else can act towards his
fellows in an unselfish spirit.
D. Riley Garland, who has been
a tenant farmer on the Abram
Fox farm in " Ayr township for

A. M. Hixaon has sold his farm
in Brush Creek Valley, and had
public sale ot his personal prop-,

Elkins, W. Va., where he will be
engaged in the lumbering busi
ness. An exchange remarks that "it
doesn't hurt any man to know
how to cook a meal or make up a
bed." The greater need, howev
er, is to convince our modern
girls that these things are not
hurtful.

Just in so far as those bouses are
patronized, so is the trade of lo
cal merchants injured, and that
involves injury to the town in
which they do business. Besides
the local patriotism, which should
always be a strong factor with
every citizen, it is to one's per
sonal interest to bny of home
merchants. Taking everything
into consideration one can almost
invariably buy more cheaply and
to better advantage of them than
of the catalog bouses who grant
no accomodation to the purchaser.
Nothing to do With Rainfall.
"Forests have nothing whatev
er to do with rainfall, drouths or
with floods."
This bomb was hurled into the
camp of the forestry enthusiasts
Wednesday of last week by Prof
Willis L. Moore, chief of the
Weather Bureau, in the shape of
a report submitted to the Secre
tary of Agriculture, and if it is
not thrown back at him by ex
Forester Pinchot'8 friends at
Washington it will be surprising.
What makes the forestry ex
perts especially wrathful in read
ing Prot. Moore's report is the
tone of condescension that he
adopts.
"It is a pity that errors of the
past centuries," he writes,
"should still continue to be dis
semmated long after scientific
research has overthrown them.
In this day and generation the
idea that forests increase of di
minish the quantity of rain that
falls from the clouds is not wor
thy to be entertained by rational
and intelligent men."
SAVbO FROM AWFUL PERIL.
"I never felt so near my grave"
writes Lewis Chambliu, of Man
chester, Ohio., R. R. No. 3, "as
when a frightful cough and lung
trouble pulled me down to 115
pounds in spite of many reme
dies and the best doctors. And
that I am alive to-day is due sole
ly to Dr. King's New Discovery,
which completely cured me. Now
I weigh 1G0 pounds and can work
hard. It also cured my four cnil
