THE GOVERNOR'S BILEMMA.
A Proof that One Woman Could de a
Thing Geed.
Governor Van Sant, of Minnesota,
arrived ome day in New York and
went te a hotel. Shortly after, a
former resident of that state called
and was shown up to his room. He
found the governor sitting in a chair
surveying with a gloomy countenance,
a trunk which stood against the wall
“What's the matter, Governor?”
asked the caller.
“l want to get a suit of clothes
out of that trunk,” was the answer.
“Well, what's the difficulty—lost
the key?”
“No, I have the key all right,” said
the governor, heaving a sigh. “I'll
tell you how it is. My wife packed that
trunk. She expected to come with
me, but was prevented at the last
moment. To my certain knowledge
she put in enough to fill three trunks
the way a man would pack them. If
I open it, the things will boil up all
over the room and I could never get
half of them back. Now, what I'm
wondering about is whether it would
be cheaper to go out and buy a new
suit of clothes or two additional
trunks.—Saturday Evening Post.

The monks came on a dead
through the snow.
“You seem to be all right,” they
said to the traveller. “We wonder
why the dog howled in such a distress-
ed tone.”
“Well,” explained the wanderer, “I
didn’t know whether or not he could
make you hear his ordinary howls, so
I just whistled ‘Hiawatha’ t6 keep him

Minister Got the Prize.
A good one is told on a well-known
minister who was walking along the
street the other day and saw a crowd
of boys sitting in front of a ring, with
a small dog in the centre. When he
came up to them he put the following
question: “What are you doing to
the dog?’ One little boy said, “Who
ever tells the biggest lie wins i.”
“Oh,” said the minister, “I am gur-
prised at you little boys, for when I
wag like you I never told a He.”
There was silence for a while, until
one of the boys shouted: “Hand up
the dog.”—Mt. Olivet Democrat.

TWO OLD MEN.
Mow a Clergymau /fged 60, Was
Taken for 106.
Edmund J. James, the president of
the Northwestern University, was
traveling some months ago with a
clergyman. The clergyman, a man of
about sixty, looks older than he really
is; a fact of which he hates to be
reminded,
At a small rural station an aged
and bent farmer, panting violently,
boarded the train.
“I have had to run,” he said, “near-
ly half a mile to catch these cars.”
Then, addressing himself to Prof.
James's companion, he went on:
“It's a bad job, sir, when old folks
like you and me has to run.”
The clergyman, frowning,
the farmer how old he was.
“I'm eighty-six,” was the reply.
asked
“Oh,” said the clergyman, ‘there
is twenty years’ difference between
you and me.”
“Goodness, sir,” exclaimed the old
man, “you don't mean to tell me
you're 106?”"—Boston Post.
No Trade.
Two Rockland men were negotiat-
ing to swap horses the other day when
suddenly the younger man paused,
scratched his head as if to recall
something, and said, quizzically:
“Didn’t I go to your place once when
I was a boy to buy a horse, and
didn’t you try to induce me to buy one
whose knees were so badly ‘sprung
that each foreleg almost made a right
angle?’
“Believe you did,” replied the
other.
“Yes, I now recall it distinctly,”
said the younger man. ‘You told me
that the knee springing was caused
by feeding the horse from too high a
manger, didn’t you—and that if I took
the horse home and fed him from the
floor that the knees would spring
back?”
“B'lieve I did,” answered the other.
“Then I guess | won't swap horses
with you. G’lang’’—Lewiston Jour
nal.
Not the Same.
A fat woman moved down the aisle
of the sleeping car just as the porter
gave the “First call for breakfast. in
the dining car,” and poked with her
umbrella at upper berth 10.
“Kitty!” she shouted. “Where are
you? Is that you up there?”
There Wag no response.
The fat woman beat a tatoo om the
brass curtain rod and shouted again,
“Kitty, Kitty! Why don’t you answer
me? Kitty, breakfast is ready? Kitty,
I say, Kitty! are you there?’
A large red face, with long, flow-
ing whiskers on the lower half ap-
peared at the opening between the
curtaing of upper 10, and a deep
husky voice, said:
“My name is George.”
The fat woman fled.—Baltimore
Sun.
“Buffalo Bill's” S8tery.
Col. Willlam F. Cody (Buffalo Bill)
has always a story to tell, and he told
this one yesterday ef an Irishman
whom he employed en his ranch in
Wyoming: “Pat has been only a
few months in this eountry, and, of
course, is as green as Kentucky grass
to our ways. Strolling through the
streets of Wyoming City one day re-
cently with a fellow workman om the
ranch, he noticed in the window of a
store a sign with the words, ‘Shoes
blackened inside.’ Pat staréd at the
notice and exclaimed: ‘Phat the
devil do people want With the inside
of their boots blackened.”
Out of the Ordinary.
“The pies my mother used to
make,” began the young husband,
“were———"
“That will do, sir,” interrupted the
fair bride, who had manufactured a
pie all by herself. “Comparisons are
odious.”
“Were mud pies,” calmly continued
the y. h. “Our folks always board-
ed, and they were the only kind she
ever tried to make.”
Will He Do This Later?
She—When we have the wireless
telegraphy, what will those poor birds
do who stand out there on the wire?”
He—They’ll do as I do now, dear.”
She—How is that?
He—Hang on your words, dear.”
: | Quaker Printer’s Proverbs.
Never send an article for publication
without giving the editor thy name,
for thy name often times secures pub-
lication to worthless articles.
Thou should not rap at the door of a
printing office. for he that answereth
the rap sneereth in his sleeve and
loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about. nor knock
down the type, or the boys will love
thee as they do the shade trees—when
thou leavest.
Thou should never read the copy on
the printer’s case, or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
Never inquire of the editor for news,
for behold it is his business to give it to
thee at the appointed time, without
asking for it.
It is not right that thou should ask
him who is the author of an article, for
it is his duty to keep such things unto
himself.
When thou dost enter his office, take
heed unto thyself that thcu dost not
look at what may concern thee not, for
that is not meet in the sight of good
breeding. :
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine
eye that thou mayst understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and subscribe for it immediately.
-Pay.for it in advance. and it shall be
well with thee and thine.

Farmer is $1.00 a year and THE SOMER-
SET CoUNTY STAR is $1.50 a year, but
both papers will be sent for a full year
if you forward $1.50 to Tre Star, Elk

A Russian Superstition.
There-is much talk in St: Petersburg
and in other Russian cities of the prob-
ability that the Czar will go to the seat
of war. A newly discovered prophecy
of St. Serafin, it is said, will induce him
to take supreme command of the Rus-
sian forces in the East.
Last July, it will be remembered, the
remains of St. Serafin were carried inio
a church specially built for their re
ception. Father Serafin, as he was
commonly called, died about 70 years
ago in the desert of Sarof and was
buried near his hermit hut. Some
little time after bis death a well not
far from his grave was discovered,
whose waters had curative qualities.
The church, after due investigation,
concluded that the well was holy. and
the saint was canonized. Last year the
Emperor and all the imperial family
were present at the removal of the
saint’s remains. The Czar himself and
three grand dukes carried the precious
burden to the place prepared for it:
and it was the Czarina Feodorovna—
who, by the way, of late has become
very pious—who designed the drapery
and the decorations which mark the
new place where the bones of the saint
lie.
Here is one of the predictions said to
have been made by St. Serafin: “Dur-
ing the year following the removal of
my ashes hence to a church a terrible
war will be let loose upon Russia, and
it will cause much suffering. The Czar
will go to that war. I will go with him,
and we will tear to pieces the apron of
England.”
This prediction first came to light
last July. It was discussed in several
court circles, and great importance was
attached to the promise of the saint to
accompany the Czar to the front. As
to the “apron of England” which is to
be torn to tatters, that does not neces-
sarily mean war with England. In all
probability the “apron” means Japan,
by which England is shielded in her
war against Russia.
It is also contended that St. Serafin
was in reality Alexander I., who retired
to a convent after his involuntary par-
ticipation in the murder of his father,
Faul I. Later on he became the her-
mit of the desert of Sarof. This, it is
said, is the real reason why the Czar
and the imperiai family were present
at the second funeral of the prophet.—

Reward Offered for Talker.
A special dispatch from Bomerset to
the Johnstown Tribune, dated Satur-
day, June 4th, says: The good people
of Somerset were considerably aston-
ished when they awoke this morning
to find all fences, store windows, blank
walls. trees, etc., decorated with posters
proclaiming, in blazing letters. the
following remarkable notice to the
public:
“4500 reward for the arrest and con-
viction of Durty Roads for talking to
death several people, while relating
his funpy jokes and stories at the
Merry Minstrels on June 9th next.”
Over 1,600 of the bills were posted
about the town, and a good many local
merchants are pretty much wrought
up over the affair. It is evidently the
work of some practical joker who was
trying to ridicule the proposed minstrel
show to be given on June 9th by some
thirty young ladies from the local high
school and the Somerset College of
Music. So riled were some prominent
local citizens this morning that they
threatened to make it extremely un-
comfortable for the joker—if he is ever
caught.—Somerset Democrat.

Wonders Never Cease.
Editor Livengood, of the SoMERskT
Couxry STAR, with a companion went
fishing on Decoration day and failed to
land any trout, but the strange part of
his exploit is the fact that he returned
home, and like the “Father of His
Country” told the naked truth in his
paper the following week.—Oakland
Journal.
Any man that will tell the truth
about his fishing can be safely believed
on any other occasion. But many
otherwise truthful men will lie like sin
about their fishing.
