CDEERFl'L WORDS.
For Many a HiConnellsbarg Ooosehold.
To have the pains and aches of
a bad back removed to be en
tirely free from annoying, dan
gerous urinary disorders, is
enough to make any kidney suf
ferer grateful. The following ad
vice of one who has suffered will
prove helpful to hundreds of Mc
Connellsburg readers.
Mrs. Lewis Christ, S39 E.
Queen St., Chambersourg, Pa.,
says: ''I had rheumatic trouble
and my kidneys acted irregular
ly. At times I was dizzy and my
head ached fearfully. Sharp
pains took me in the small of my
back and across my hips. When
1 heard of Doan's kidney pills I
gotsomeand they surely gave ma
excelltsut relief. Doan's put me ia
much better condition in every
way."
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Mrs. Christ bad.

An Old Letter.
Harry S. Carmack of Philipa
burg, Pa., sent us an old letter
that was in his father's posses
sion years ago. Harry thinks
that it might be interesting to
some of the old f Dlks liv'mg in the
northern end of Fulton County,
as it has been a few years since
the death of Mr. HoLand The
letter, posted before the time of
envelopes, and held together by
a red wafer, was written by
John Covert. February 10. 1R50
and addressed to John B. llol 1
land. It reads as follows: "Dear
Sir, I take up my pen to inform
you that I am well at present,
hoping that these few lines may
find you in the state of health.
Sir, take this time to inform
something about the gehals at
the mountain school. ' They are
considered hard cases to get
ahead of. One day they got
pretty bold and tried to master
' the boys, but they missed it the
bloominist We got tbtm out
and they owned to it. They
said you were a hard case, and
they said they beat you out. 1
told them they could not beat
me out They tried it but they
missed it ,
I must tell you something
about a hunt I had. 1 had my
rifle and my dogs along. They
started up the hill allying and
caught a fox by the tail and held
it until I got a shot. Then I
took out my pocket knife and
went to skin him, when tbe fox
jumped right up against me and
OLD SIDELING HILL.
The following poem, published in the Somerset Demo
crat in its issue of January 30, 1856, has been, sent to the
News by Miss Viola McClain, of Waterfall, Pa. While the
name of the author is not given Miss McClain thinks it was
written by a native of Wells Valley. Perhaps some of the
older residents of the Valley may know. Editor
I have wondered through many a valley,
And traveled o'er mountain and plain.
But there's nothing my spirit can rally,
Like a view of my old hills again.
I feel like a child when I'm straying
By the side of each mountain rill,
I think of the time I was playing
Near the foot of Old Sideling Hill.
Here the sun seems to shine more brightly,
As it rises o'er the tall mountain top,
Like it shone when life beamed so lightly,
When my bosam was throbbing with hope.
If I had a cot near that fountain,
Where the purest of water did still,
I would greet a warm friend on the mountain,
That would stop at Old Sideling Hill.
Where the people are frank and kind hearted
With manners both simple and plain;
Often I think of the time we all parted
Ne'er to meet in this wide world again.
Though most of my old friends are scattered,
Thereare Borne remaining there still,
And they'll welcome the one who has wandered
When he comes to Old Sideling Hill.
When I lived by that swift little river,
With kindred and friends I was blest,
I have good cause to rue that I ever
Moved off to the far distant West
When I left there in life's happy morning,
I had a foreboding of ill;
For better I had taken that warning,
And stayed by Old Sidling Hill.
My locks are now bleaching with sorrow,
My cheeks lost their once rosy hue
But I know if I die here to-morrow,
I'll die among friends that are true.
I am tired, I'm tired of roaming,
My heart is dreary and lone.
And I know the time is fast coming
When I'll go to my long silent home.
When my last day in life I do number,
And bid all of earth's sorrows farewell,
Oh, there be the place of my slumber,
At the foot of Old Sideling Hill.

I went up to old Mouldy Heases,

suddenly stopped, took up Judas
and knocked old Mouldy one on

mountain about s mile and
caught hold of a tree. By that
time I had Judas dressed out

Then I went on over to Fly

Date Second Draft Not Sit.
Washington, Jan. 30. War de
partment legislation tentatively
agreed upon by the senate mili
tary committee and designed to
provide additional draft machin
ery was ready today for intro
duction in the senate.
The bills provide for the regis
tration of youths attaining the
age of 21 years -since June 5,
last, authorizes the fixing of
quotas on the basis of Class 1 of
the new classification and em
powers the president t o call men
needed for special industrial
work.
Provost Marshall General
Crowder in an explanation to the
committee said it was proposed
to hold a new drawing to estab
lish the order of liability of the
new registrants. It i s assumed,
he asserted, that most of the new
registrants will fall in Class 1,
giving the class thi3 year a total
of more than two million men.
From this class it is expected to
take the next and future drafts.
Secretary Baker's plan to ex
empt men who have attained the
a?e 31, disapproved by General
Crowder, i s not included in the
legislation.
Secretary Baker has disclosed
that the war department had not
fixed the date for another draft
and made clear that when he
told the senate committee that
the United States wmld have
half a million men in France
early this year and a half ready
to go during 1918, he referred to
the divisions now in training
a camps and those already in Europe.
