It isthe “home” paper par excellence, because it is welcomed and read by every member of the family, and it is just as much of a family ne- cessity as sugar or tea or coffee. It this faculty of getting close to its read- ers that makes the “home” paper's value to advertisers wholly out of pro- portion to its modest circulation.— Newspaperdom. is Newspaper advertising pays far bet- ter than any other kind of advertising, and in the long run it is far the cheap- est. Your home paper well filled with attractive advertisements gives people in the surrounding territory a good opinion of the town and its business men, and the better opinion the pur- chasing public holds of a town and the hustling qualities of its business men, the better it is for all concerned, the more goods you will sell and the more money you will make. “The most hurtful kindness that can come to the average small boy is plen- ty of money and the opportunity to pass the evenings among his boy friends.

Old Flog Pond, just 13 mile north of Salisbury, has long been a favorite re- | sort for pleasure seekers. Tt is a beau- tiful sheet of water, noted for its good fishing and boating during the summer months and its excelent skating in [| ™ inter. | Last Monday evening several boys | | | | | | | and girls concluded to go to this favor- | ite resort to spend a few pleasant hours on the ice, and among them was a fair { young damsel who went against her mother’s will. It was a beautiful night. The pale- faced moon was gloriously full, but so- ber nevertheless, and he upon the sad old earth, shedding his mellow light upon old Flog Pond and its beautiful surroundings, and the {scene was one intensely picturesque and wrapped in resplendent glory. But not all paths are paths of pleas- neither is all ice as thick and There are sometimes | antness, firm as it looks. | hidden dangers in store for those who go skating against mamma’s will, and | such proved to be the case in this in- stance. All went well for a time and joy wag | unconfined. Merry peals of laughter rang out, and these, mingled with the silvery moonbeams, added joy and splendor to a scene that angels might look down upon and be filled with envy. How good it seemed to live, and how far off death seemed! Death, which lurks in all pleasant places. and in this instance came so near claiming one of { these merry skaters! Well, the ice broke, and the more or less beautiful girl who had disobeyed her mamma sank to her neck in what | seemed like a watery grave. She clung | frantically to the ice and screamed for | help, and the scene beggared desecrip- tion. The pale-faced moon | | turned three | shades paler and shed | great briny | tears. The trout in the stream blushed all over in red spots. The bass pulled their scales over their eyes and held their breath. The suckers poked their heads deeper into the mud. The little sunfish smile. The catfish stroked their whiskers and winked the other eye. The little minnows got nervous and gazed with » wild, vacant stare. The cruel alligators worked their fugly jaws in anticipation of fresh meat. The turtles crawled forth from the mud and swore they with the human race for eating turtle soup. The German carp said “dunner wet- ter!” and that young man who went through the ice at’ the same time, he said “dam!” But he didn't mean the mill dam into which he had fallen. But all is well that end well, and Tue Star is glad to note that the maid- en and her skating partner were res- cued. : The young man hurried home and changed clothes, while the maiden went to the nearest house in Boynton for a change of apparel. Unfortunately, however, she got into a house where the whole family, with one exception, were males, and it was no easy matter to give her a complete outfit of ladies’ clothing. But the boys of the family are very accommodating, and one of them tendered a suit of his underwear to the shivering girl, which was thank- fully accepted. Another gave up his sweater, the mother of the family a dress, one of the skaters his overcoat, and in that way the immersed maiden smiled a sunny her home amid congratulations and great joy. It was a close call, but a miss is as good as a mile, yea, even a miss clad partly in man’s attire. -— Many a household is saddened by death the failure to keep on hand a safe and absolutely certain cure for croup, such as One Minute Cough Cure.

His gun was first discovered standing against a tree, and upon looking about, the old man’s body was found near by, face down- ward, and in a bad state of decompo- ~ition.. His remains showed no marks of vio- lence, and no one doubts that he died a natural death. This is a natural con- clusion, as the old man complained of feeling ill when he left the store at Wittenburg, Aug. 29th, since which time no trace of him could be forrhd until his dead body was found last Monday.

Hay, Elk Lick, Pa. Caught by a Falling Tree. Last Saturday while Stewart Simp- kins was cutting telephone poles in the woods east of town, he met with an ac- cident which will confine him to his house for several months He had felled a tree which lodged | against another tree, and in so doing | the butt of the falling three was thrust backward, catching Stewart’s leg be- tween it and the stump. In this man- ner he was held fast until a young lad | in prying | working with him succeeded the fallen tree away. When released Stewart found that his leg was broken and badly mashed near the ankle. The lad who was with him at hastened to town and summoned help. A nun.ber of men promptly responded and Stewart was soon conveyed to his home, were Dr. A. M. Lichty set the once broken limb and made him as comfort- | able as possible. The injured man is getting along as well can be expected, but it is a severe blow to him, and he has the sympathy of all. — > When you ask for De Witt’s Witeh Iazel Salve don’t accept nn counterfeit or imita- tion.
