Advertising creates a desire. Gratifying that desire starts a habit. If you don’t advertise at all, no desire is created. If you ad- vertise a little and stop, the desire stops before it starts a habit. It is habit you want to produce—the habit of reading your ads, coming to your store, buying your goods. This is the only way to keep your merchandise continually on the move. Everybody has'a habit of reading the Somerset County Star, brought on by a desire to know the news.

It was able to do this because it i» the only company in the talking machine field having a complete laboratory and a manufacturing plant on a broad and comprehensive basis. Its facilities for experimentation and for manufactur ing are on a very large scale. It does not have to rely on inexperienced manufacturers for any part of the pro- duct it offers for sale. It makes its own machines and its own records from start to finish, which is a funda- mental advantage of the first magni- tude. The Disc Graphophone is made in three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30. Seven inch records 50c each. $5 per dozen ; 10 inch records $1 each, $10 per dozen. The Graphophone and Colum- bia Records were awarded the Grand Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1800. The Columbia Phonograph Co., 615 Penn Avenue, Pittsburg, headquarters for graphophones and talking machine supplies of every kind, will send you catalogues on application. 12-11 Calendars for 1903.

Groom Also Gave Girl’s Father Some Turnips to ‘‘Boot.”’ William Garnee, of the Tamarack settlement, Potter county, made a deal recently whereby he secured a wife in trade for a mule and a lot of turnips. Allie Bierbower the bride. Her father approached Garnee about a week ago and ask him if he didn’t want to take his daughter in trade for a mule that Garnee owned. Thelatter wanted a week to think it over. Saturday the men met and Garnee said he would close the deal. Bierbower added that he would have to have ten bushels of turnips in addition. The prospective groom objected, but was willing to give five bushels. A compromise was effected on seven and one-half bushels, and the ’Squire who tied the knot remarked that be hoped the mule would kick the life out of the bride’s father. is —-— Port Grape Wine for the Siek. “We can confidently recommend Speer’s Port Grape Wine. a superior article of wine for the sick ahd debilitat- ed.”—Medical Review.

However much we may disapprove the public policies which he represents, there can be in healthy minds nothing but admiration for Theodore Roosevelt as a citizen and a man. What a splen- did contrast he presents in his sturdy manhood, tireless activity and lofty pa- triotism, to his multi-millionaire kins- man, William Waldorf Astor, licking Albert Edward’s boots and whining that America is not a fit place for a gentleman to live in! If any better specimen of American manhood exists than the Santiago rough rider, the chief magistrate of 75,000,000 people, he has not yet come to the front. The tex- ture of his mind is remarkable. His mental growth since he came to the presidency is phenomenal. He has ris- en to every oceasion, has never failed to acquit himself not only with credit. but with distinction. In his Democratic simplicity, hearty good humor, broad sympathies, strength of body and mind, physical and moral courage, energy, purity of heart, un- compromising Americanism, unswerv- ing honesty ; as much at home among the High School boys of Philadelphia as among the grave seignenrs of the Union League; as deboniar in the swamps of Mississippi as in the execu- tive mansion, Mr. Roosevelt has never been found wanting in any quality that goes to make a man. We are all proud of this true gentle- man; glad to do him honor. The pity of it is that the Democratic party founded on the eternal principles of of liberty, equality and justice, has not at present such a leader.—Harrisburg Patriot, (Dem.) Report from the Reform School. J. G. Gluck, Superintendent, Prunty- town, W. Va. writes: “After trying all other advertised cough medicines we have decided to use Foley’s Honey and Tar exclusively in the West Vir- ginia Reform School. I find it the most effective and absolutely harm- less.” E. H. Miller. ee Lost Her Husband in Pittsburg. The following news item appeared in the Pittsburg Gazette of Tuesday, Dec. 9th. “D. A. McLaughlin, a telegrapher of New York, 23 years oid, got lost in Fifth avenue, last night, and his wife appeal- ed to the police to find’ him. She, a nice-looking little woman, was cared for by the matrons at Central station all night. She said her parents live near Meyers- dale, and that she and her husband went there recently to spend Thanks- giving. As he was out of employment at home in New York, he had determin- ed to come here to find work. They arrived here in the late after- noon and went to a restaurant for supper. They intended to go to the East End to look at rooms they saw advertised, and while waiting for a car at Fifth avenue and Smithfield street, the husband disappeared. She stood around for a time and walked up and down the street searching for him, but not being able to find him, appealed to the police.” 3 The Mrs. McLaughlin referred to is a daughter of Casper Wahl, of this place. Mr. McLaughlin is her second husband, she having first been married to Noah Menser, of Somerset, but obtained a divorce from him several years ago. Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin were here visiting friends a short time ago. TOLD THE TRUTH. A Missouri editor announced that for just one issue he would tell the truth. Here ure a few items from that issue: John Boin, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Bellview yester- day. John Doyle, our grocery man is doing a poor business. His store is dirty, dusty and noxiously odoriferious. low ean he expect to do much? Rev. Styx preached Sundsy night on Charity. The sermon wag punk. Ifthe reverened geutleman would live up a little closer to what he preaches he'd have a bigger congregation. Dave Sonky died last Saturday at his home in this place. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. The fact is he was drunk and whiskey is what killed him. His home was a rented shack on Rowdy street. Married —Miss Sylva Rhodes and James Cana- han, Saturday Baptist parsonage. ordinary town last evening the The bride is a very girl who does’t know any more than a rabbit about cooking, and who never helped her mother three Ske is not a beauty by any means and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well known here as an up-to-date loafer. He has been living off the old folks all his life and don’t amount to shucks. They will have a hard life while they live to- gether, and the news has no congratu- lations to offer, for we don’t believe any good can come of such a union.” The issue in which the Missouri at days in her life. { editor told the truth was the last he ever made. Now, in the spring time, when the dew like diamonds sparkles in the tenler grass, when sweet-throat- ed birds make a melody all the day. subscribers to that paper while it was published drive out into the country a short way to catch a glimpse of a piece | of black skin which hangs suspended from a barbed wire fence. It is all | that remains of that once manly form | of the Missouri editor who “told the { truth for one week.”
