Time is the best test or trnth.
Here is a McConnellsburg story
that ha stood the test of time.
It is a btory with a point which
will come straight home to many
of us.
Miss Susan Peigbtel, McCon
nellaburg, says: MI was in poor
health for some time and 1 be
lieve that weak kidneys caused
the trouble, i suffered great
ly from severe pains in my back,
which often darted into my head
1 often became dizzy and had
chills. 1 was losing strength
daily and felt poorly in every
way. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro
cured at Trout's Drug Store,
brought me quick relief." (State
ment given November 5, 19 7)
Over Six Years Later, Miss
Peightel said: "Whenever I
need a backache or kidney medi
cine, I use Doan's Kidney Pills.
Thev relieve me."

Inspiring Services.
Our local Methodist people and
all others who attended the ser-
viVps at the M. E. church last
Sunday evening were delighted
and inspired by.an old-fashioned
Methodist meeting. The sermon
was delivered and the services
conducted by G. Murray Klepfer
a retired preacher and lecturer
now residing at Fayetteville,
Pa. Mr. Klepfer will be re
membered as one of the lectureis
at the County Inititute in McCon
nellsburg Eome twentvfive yetrs
ago.
Speaking of Salaries.
Daniel Webster didn't get $3,
OOOBatary a year to bo United
Rt.ni am senator. His pay was
only 16 a day, says Girard in the
Evening Telegraph. .
That sum is almost forty times
as much as Poe received for bis
spirited poem, "The Bolls."
When President Jefferson sent
Lewis and Clark, In 1804 to make
the first journey by white men
across the country to tbe Pacific.
the party started from St. Louis
with forty men. That memor
able march of 9,000 miles cost
2,500 to fiDatce-$l,400 less
than Eddie Collins obtained for
bis six ball games.
For about twelve hours of play
tbe world's series wlnnlrg bal
tossers received more than half
as much money as was paid to
the author of the first great
American made dictionary, who
toiled lor years over his immense
tastf.
For these twelve hours of play,
their pay was over four times
t.hn avftraea salaries of all the
preachers in the United States
for a whole year.
It is considerably above the
composite' salary of American
college presidents and more than
double that of college professors.
But high pay for special service
a not limited to champion base
ball teams. Charlie Chaplin's
movie stunts earn a great aeai
more for him in a year than any
other actor of the world acquir
ed on the stage.
-It was a topic for the world
gossip when a generation ago tbe
Rev. Dr. T. BeWitt Talmage
contracted to deliver 100 lectures
,n England for $100 each. Pro-
digious.pay for that time.
Mere chicken feed for Hilly
Sunday!
Milton received $25 for "Para
dise Lost," but another Eagll-h
poet not so long ago was paid
$1,000 for a few lines.
Bret Uarte's first story, "Tbe
Luck of Roaring 'Camp," netted
him $100 although It made him
famous and started him on the
road to fame as our country a
foremost short-story writer.
