Build a little fence of trust
Around to-day;
¥ill the space with loving deeds,
And therein stay,
Look not upon the sheltering bars
Upon tomorrow;
God will help thee bear whatever
Comes of joy or Sorrow.

On Whom Was the joke?
It was the first of April.
“Mamma! Mamma!” came a piping
treble, “come quick; there's a
strange man in the dining room kiss-
ing the waitress.”
The mother made a hurried start
but was halted by her gay little son,
who cried exultingly: “April Fool!
it’s only Papa!”
How it was Done
“Here,” said the assistant to the
manager of the great “patent medi-
cine ” firm, is a fellow who writes:
‘I don’t see how you can have the
nerve to sell your worthless remedy
for fifty cents a bottle.”
“That's all right,” said the mana-
ger. “Just strike out the words ‘have
the nerve to’ and ‘worthless’ and put
Two Reasons for not Reporting
General Nelson A. Miles, during
active service, one day received a tel-
egram from a subordinate who was
on a furlough, but was expected back
that day. The dispatch read:
Sorry, but cannot report to-day as
expected, owing to unavoidable cir-
cumstances.
The tone of the message did not
please the General, and he wired
back:
Report at once or give reasons.
Back came the answer from a hos-
pital:
Train off,
can’t walk.
can’t ride: legs off
Two of a Kind
A tourist in the mountains of Ten-
nessee had a dinner with a querulous
old mountaineer who yawned about
hard times fifteen minutes at a
stretch.
“Why, man,” said the tourist, “you
ought to be able to make lots of mon-
ey shipping green corn to the north-
ern markets.”
“Yes, I orter,” was the sullen reply.
“You have the land. I suppose you
can get the seed.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
“Then why don’t you go into the
speculation?”
“No use, stranger,” sadly replied
the cracker, “the old woman is too
lazy to do the plowin’ and plantin’.”

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
FOR R. R. EMPLOYES.
Announcement is made that the
officials of the Baltimore & Ohio
raflroad have in mind the adoption of
a rule requiring physical examina-
tion of all applicants seeking employ-
ment. The requirements are to be
similar to those enacted by the
government of applicants for service
with the United States. Medical ex-
amination are already required by
many railroads especially in the case

RULING ON AUTO FEES.
Automobile license fees -eeolected
by the state highway department may
be spent by that department for the
maintenance of roads in the state, gc-
cording to a decision which was han-
ded down Monday by the supreme
court in Philadelphia by Justice Pot-
ter.
The court by the decision, upholds
the Dauphin County court which a-
warded -a mandamus against Auditor
General Powell and State Treasufer
Young- commanding them to pay cer-
tain road bills of former Highway
Commissioner Bigelow of funds ve-
ceived from automobile registrations
and licenses. The fees received since
the passage of the motor license law
total more than $1,000,000.
Auditor General Powell and State
Treasurer Young appealed from the
decision of the Dauphin County comrt
attacking the constitutionality of the
automobile license act.
It was agreed by Attorney General
John C. Bell that the legislature had
a right to determine how fees receiv- |
ed under the act should be spent, and !
that it was the duty of the auditor
general after examining the bills and
deciding upon their correctness, to is-
sue a warrant upon the state tress-
urer, who was simply the custodian
of the money and had no further pow-
ers. The supreme court upheld that
‘argument.
THE FILTHY FLY AGAIN.
Care for the stable and prevent the
fly.
The heated season is approaching
and with it will come the fly. Know-
ing as we do the filthy habits and the
danger from infeetious germs left in
the trail of the house fly it woyld be
well for each of us to begin now and
examine our premises to see if there
exists conditions that would afford
breeding places for this insect. The
neglected stable affords a splendid
breeding place, therefore the owners
ad occupant should make careful ex-
amination ‘of ‘their stables and imme-
diately correct any defect or insani-
tary condition found that would give
rise to foul odors or afford breeding
places.

Several tracts of mineral land re-
main to be sold of the S. D. Liven-
good estate for creditors of the de-
funct Farmers’ Bank, of Meyersdale.
It is thought the mineral land will
bring approximately $20,000. If
such a figure can be obtained, the as-
signee will be enabled to pay another
dividend of ten per cent., which
would bring the total dividends up to
37 per cent. Livengood’s liabilities
were $200,000.
Options were recently secured on
a plot of mineral land in Milford
township, near Rockwood. There dre
1,500 acres of coal involved. A num-
ber of prominent coal operators are
interested in the prospective deal.
Farms under option are those of
George J. Hay, John M. Critchfield,
Herman Hay, Walker Brothers, Alex-
ander Newman, E. J. Weimer, Jacob
Walter, John C. Weller and others.
The farmers have been almost be-
sieged by prospectors and promoters
but are very wary of all such.

INVESTIGATION
SHOULD BE MADE.
A jury rendered a verdict to the
effect that James Marino, who died
a few days ago in a Johnstown
| hospital, was the victim of a gunshot
| wound, thus putting the matter up to
the Somerset county authorities to
determine the manner in which the
injury was inflicted. When brought to
the hospital from Acosta, Marino told
the attendants he had attempted to
prevent his brother-in-law from com-
mitting suicide and in the struggle for
the weapon the revolver was accident-
ally discharged. A verdict of accident
was rendered in the investigation
into the death of Joseph Sorrodo, a
Jenners miner who was brought to the
City hospital for treatment.
