Mre. Lizzie Fawner this week moved
to Pitsburg, where she will follow the
dress-making business. She is a very
good seamstress, and THE STAR aishes
her much success in her new location,
A Meyersdale woman justifies ber
rapid expenditure of her husband’s in-
surance money by claiming that the
first new thing she has had in her par-
lor in twenty years was her husband’s
cofiin.
Miss Emma Nike, of Somerset, who
thaught oue of the at this
piace several years ago, was recently
appointed to a clerkship in the United
States Pension Agency at Pittsburg, at
a salary of $600 a vear. :
We heard a Democrat say the other
day that he wouldn’t vote for Pattison
because Pattison looks like * Al” Swartz-
welder. Well, it may be: that “Al”
isn’t any better looking than Pattison,
but we all know he’s smarter.

William Smith, formerly of Salisbury,
but now of Tunnelton, W. Va, is visit-
ing his daughter, Mrs. Samuel Baum-
gardner. He will remain until after
the election as he desires to vote once
more for the Rev. 8. C. Swallow.
A high authority says: “Tell me
what you eat, and I'll tell you what you
are.” Well, there are some people in
this town who are trying to rent build-
ings at a forty per cent. rate who prob-
ably eat much pork.—Rockwood Ga-
zette.
An exchange says that two drops of
' camphor put on your tooth brush will
give your mouth the freshest, cleanest
feeling imaginable; will make your
gums rosy, and absolutely prevent any-
thing like cold, sore throat or aflliction
of the tongue.
A little girl approached the stamp
window in the postoffice the other day
and called for five postage stamps.
She was asked what denomiation she
wished, and she replied: “I don’t
know, but mother is a Methodist and I
reckon she wants that kind.”
Ira D. Reckard, Duncombe, Ia. writes:
“My little boy scalded his leg from the
knee to the ankle. I used Banner
Salve immediately and in three weeks
time it was almost entirely healed. I
want to recommend it to every family
and advise them to keep Banner Salve
on hand as it is a sure remedy for
sealds or any other sores.” E. H. Mil-
ler.
Mr. Robert H. Johnston, wife and
daughter, Elizabeth, of Tunnelton, W,
Va., are visiting his parents, Dr. and
Mrs. E. S. Johnston. Mr. Johnston will
return home the last of this week, but
Mrs. Johnston and her little daughter
will remain for a week or ten days.
Modesty is one of the sweetest and
most desirable qualities one can pos-
sess, and yet too much modesty hind-
ers advancement. When this quality is
over developed it antagonizes aggress-
iveness, without which no great success
can be attained.—Success.
A promissory note, though executed
on Sunday, is valid if delivered on some
other day, and therefore an answer
averring that the note sued on was
signed on Sunday, without any aver-
ment as to the day of delivery, does not
prevent a defense, according to the de-
cision of the Kentucky Court of Ap-
peals in the case of Hofer vs. Cowan
et al.
It is not possible for the proprietors
to publish more than a very few of the
numerous letters received in praise of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and telling of its re-
markable cures. They come from peo-
ple in every walk in life and from ev-
ery state in the Union. The following
from Mr. T. W. Greathouse, of Pratts-
burg, Ga., speaks for itself: “I would
have been dead now but for the use of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoae Remedy. It cured me of chronic
diarrhoes after seven years of suffer-
ing. I can never say too much in praise
of that remedy.” For sale by EH

Ed Tedrow last week went.to Young-
Ira Hay is one of the dandiest best
wood, Pa., to accept a job at railroad- | fellows that has visited THE STAR sanc-
ing. We wish the young man much
success, for during the past year he has
shown that he is trying to make a man
of himself in the full sense of the word.
He deserves encouragement, and if he
gets it we have every confidence that
he will prove himself worthy of it.
The editor of a Maryland exchange
must have been badly rattled indeed
when he made the error which called
forth the following correction in his
paper the next week: Through an er-
ror last week we said that a boy had
arrived at the home of John T Smith.
We should have said that his oldest
son was kicked by a horse. We apolo-
gize for the error.
The Cumberland Courier says:
“Where a dog goes when it has. a can
tied to its tail ix a mystery. No one
has ever seen one stop.” Thats true,
very, very true; but we have often
wondered why men will lose sleep try-
ing to invent a perpetual motion, when
it is a known fact perpetual montion
was invented by the boy who first tied
a tin can to a dog’s tail.
While opening a box, J. C. Mount, of
Three Mile Bay, N. Y., ran a ten penny
nail through the fleshy part of his hand.
“I thought at once of all the pain and
soreness this would cause me,” he says,
“and immediately applied Chamber-
lJan’s Pain Balm and occasionally after-
wards. To my surprise it removed all
pain and soreness and the injured parts
were soon healed.” For sale by E. H.
- Miller. 10-30
One of the Weekly papers has just
| unearthed a quaint army order. It
deals with the machine guns provided
for certain volunteer corps and advises
that, where possible, “mules should be
employed to draw them.” “When a
mule is not available, however,” it goes
on,“any intelligent noncommissed of-
ficer will do instead.” There are sev-
eral ways of calling a man an ass.—
London Globe.
It is curious the difference in the re-
gard children have for their school and
school work. When a fire started in
the Warren street school one day re-
cently. a little girl went sobbing down
the street, with streaming eyes, be-
cause she feared her school was to be
destroyed. A moment later a boy
came tearing down the street on his
wheel working overtime-and shouting:
“Hurrah, kids! The old prison’s on
fire ”—Toledo Times.
The Lutheran church of this place,
of which Rev. E. 8. Johnston, D. D., is
pastor, having been closed for several
weeks past, for repairs and a general
overhauling, will be re-opened on Nov.
2d. The sermon will be specially in-
teresting. The Rev. R. 8. Patterson, of
Berlin, will do the preaching and assist
the pastor in the re-opening services.
Sunday school, at 9 o'clock a. m.
Preaching, at 10.30 a. m., and the meet-
ing of the C. E. Society, at 6 p. m. All
are most cordially invited.
A new recipe which makes a nice
luncheon dish is frozen buttermilk.
To one gallon of fresh buttermilk add
two cans of standard condensed milk,
vanilla and sugar to taste. Put in ice
cream freezer and freeze as ice cream.
Many people in making this strive to
make it too much like ice cream, and
so sweeten it too much. Care must be
taken not to get it too sweet. A sus-
picion of tartness makes it delicious,
but when too sweet it is insipid. —Ex.
Rev. J. A. Hamilton, who for the last
two years or thereabouts has been our
local M. E. parson, has been transfer-
red to another charge at Pleasant Uni-
ty, Westmoreland county, Pa. We are
sorry to see Rev. Hamilton and family
leave our community, as they made
many warm friends while living among
us, and we all wish them success and
happiness in their new field. They
shipped their household effects yester-
day, and the family will not leave be-
fore Saturday for their new home.
“Mack” Bowman, of Jennings’ Mill,
who is a brother-in-law of C. H. Jen-
nings, was accidently hurt on Wednes-
day of last week, while engaged in un-
loading logs. He was taking the bot-
tom log out, when it slipped, and in
falling caught his leg between it and
another log, twisting it badly at the
ankle, thereby causing a bad sprain. A
sprain is very painful, but we are glad
to note that the accident was not more
serious. There being nobones broken,
we hope he will soon be about again.
An exchange tells a story of the ex-
perience of a sportsman, recently. He
passed the County farm and one of the
crazy men living there saw him and
began to question him. “What have
you killed?” asked the crazy man. The
hunter said he had killed a snipe and
two doves. “What did you pay for that
gun?” “Sixty dollars.” “How much is
the dog worth?” “Twenty-five dollars.”
“An eighty-five dollar out-fit to kill
twenty-five cents worth of game! They
keep me locked up here because they
say I’m crazy, and let you run loose.
It isn’t fair,” said the crazy man.
Out of Death's Jaws.

On Wednesday evening of last week
| G. B. Showalter’s eldest son, John, met
with a very sad accident. He was fill-
ing a powder flask to take with him to
the mines, and had a lighted lamp near
him at the time. The powder in some
way took fire from the lamp, causing
quite an explosion, and the result was
that the young man was terribly burn-
ed about the head and face. We are
indeed sorry to learn of the accident,
but we trust that the victim will speed-
ily and fully recover.
This week the editor is in Pittsburg,
doing duty as Grand Juror at the pres-
ent term of United States District
Court. He left a supply of editorial
copy on hand before leaving. and has
also been sending some from the city.
Therefore, the paper will be found
about up to, its usual standard; but if
you notice an unusual large number of
typographical errors, don’t howl too
loud about it, for you must remember
that the editor’s assistant is not an ex-
perienced proof reader. He’s a whole
team, though, when it comes to setting
type.
The man who wrote the following
had a level head: “The best way to
build up a town is to stand by every
man in town. All residents should be
partners, not opponents. In all liveli-
hoods the more business your rival
does the more you will do. Every
business man who treats his customers
honestly, courteously and fairly will
get his share. and the more business
can be secured by united efforts, the
better it will be for all. When a town
ceases to grow it begins to die, and the
more people try to kill each other in
their business the more readily will
utter ruin come to all. Stand together
for the advancement of every citizen.
If a man shows ability to prosper, do
not pull him back through jealousy or
weigh him down through cold indiffer-
ence.”
Mr. David Harris, of Princess Anne,
Md., is here visiting his many old
friends. He had been reading in THE
Star of the big apples brought to our
office this fall, so he thought he would
bring us some choice fruit that grew on
his farm on the Eastern shore of Mary-
land. He presented a pear of the
Keefer variety that tips the beam at
one pound. eight and one-half ounces.
It is the largest pear we ever saw, and
as a grower of large fruit Mr. Harris is
certainly entitled to the championship
among those who have been contrib-
uting to Tue Srar’s exhibit. Mr.
Harris will be remembered by nearly
all of our people, as he used to mine
coal in this region and resided in West
Salisbury. He is a thrifty, intelligent
man, one who takes care of his earn-
ings, but who at all times is generous-
hearted and very hospitable. Seven
years ago he purchased a farm on the
Eastern shore of Maryland with money
he earned in the mines, and he has
been living on the farm ever since. He
went there without any knowledge of
farming whatever, but by pluck and a
determined effort to succeed at the
business, he has been making it pay.
He tells us his chief pleasure is raising
small fruits, and he reports a yield of
46 bushels of strawberries on a quarter
acre of his land. Surely that is a yield
to be proud of. Mr. Harris is a native
of England, but is now a naturalized
and loyal citizen of the United States.
He is a staunch admirer of President
Roosevelt and in every way a credit to
American citizenship. We enjoyed his
visit at THE STAR office very much, and
Tue Star will be a friend of “Davy”
Harris and his family as long as either
of us exist. Mr. Harris has turned his
farm over to his sons, and he may
again return to this locality to live;
bat he says he will never dig any more
coal, and we are glad to know that he
does not have to.

A New Commercial College.
The young men and women of Som-
erset county and adjoining counties
will be pleased to learn that a first
class commercial college is being es-
tablished in Meyersdale, Pa. The
school will be under the supervision of
Prof. W. J. McCarty, late Principal of
the Commercial Department of Scio
College, Scio, Ohio, a very successful
commercial teacher of ten years exper-
ience.
The public spirited citizens of Mey-
ersdale, realizing the need and advant-
age of a good school in their city,
placed on foot a movement which will
result in the founding of the Meyers-
dale Commercial Colloge.- This col-
lege will receive students on and after
December 1st, 1902. The following
subjects will receive the attention their
importance demands: Bookkeeping,
Commercial Law, Commercial Arith-
metic, General Office Work, Spelling
and Definitions, Business Forms, Busi-
ness Penmanship, Commercial Papers,
Commercial Geography, Descriptive
Economics, Inter-Collegiate Business
Practice, Correspondence, American
National Banking, Shorthand and Type-
writing.
The courses of the study are practi-
cal and educational and as the expense
to the student will be as low as can be
made and furnish the best, every am-
bitious young man and woman within
one hundred miles of Meyersdale
should lose no time in securing the ad}
vantages offered by this institution.
The Worst Form.
Multitudes are singing the praises of
Kodol, the new discovery which is
making so many sick people well and
weak people strong by digesting what
tehy eat, by cleansing and sweetening
the stomach and by transforming their
food into the kind of pure, rich, red
blood that makes you fell good all over.
Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, I. T., writes: For
a nmber of years I was troubled with
iudigestion and dyspepsia which grew
into the worst form. Finally I was in-
duced to use Kodol and after using
four bottles I am entirely cured. I
heartily recommend Kodol to all suffer-
ers from indigestion and dyspepsia.
Take a dose after meals. It digests
what you eat. E. H. Miller.
Record Breaking Turkey.
Somerset has within its borders a
very remarkable fowl of the turkey
family, says the Herald. It is a hen
owned by Espey Trostle, wholives near
Stoyestown. The bird began laying
eggs in April and layed 26. She then
hatched and raised a brood of 18 young
turkeys. When the little birds were
three weeks old the mother resumed
laying and has contributed 99 eggs and
still continues to produce one egg ev-
ery day. The old hen leaves her young
and goes to her nest, lays her egg and
then calls her brood together and trav-
els off with the young ones.
