A little girl had been looking at some
pictures of angels, and she turned to
her mother and asked, “Mamma, why
are there no n.en in heaven?” “Bat
there are men in heaven,” replied the
mother. “Then why is it,” asked the
child, “that we never see any pictures
of angels with whiskers or mustache?”
“True, but there are men in heaven.”
was the reply, “only they get in by a
elose shave.”

The editor's wife, whose serious ill-
ness was noted in last week’s STAR is
still in a very critical condition, and
much of the editor’s time since getting
out last week’s edition has been spent
at her bedside. The afflicted wife ands
mother requires constant and careful
attention, and everything that husband
doctor and kind neighbors can do for
her is being done. We hope for her
recovery, but her life is yet in the
balance.
On Saturday afternoon Judge Kooser
filed a decree making permanent the
injunction issued several weeks ago on

structing an alley adjoining the prop-

Hocking, and Sarah T. Hoffman. Dr.
Lichty claimed ownership of the alley
and had started the erection of a build-
ing on a portion of it. He will now
have to remove the obstruction, says

jousness, etc. They never gripe or
sicken, but impart early rising energy.
Good for children or adults. Sold by

Churches will sing and sing ‘Rescue
the perishing,” but when a member,
young or old, makes a misstep and goes
wrong, there is very little attempt to
rescue. The tendency is to push them
deeper down, rather than to rescue
them. This is especially true in re-
gard to girls or women. They sing
“rescue,” but act “push down.” In the
case of men it is a little better, unless
his failure is in his business. Then in-
stead of praying for him, all prey on
him.—Cumberland Courier.
8. M. Yoder, a farmer residing near
Grantsville, Md., met with quite a mis-
hap, Tuesday. He was preparing to
hive a swarm of bees, and while stand-
ing directly under a limb of a tree on
which the bees had settled, the limb
broke, landing -the bees all over Mr.
Yoder’s head and neck. The bees be-
gan to sting, and before Mr. Yoder
could get rid of them, he was stung
over a hundred times. The poison
from the stings made him deathly sick,
but Dr. E. H. Perry was promptly sent
for, and at last report the patient was
getting along quite well.
All old-time cough syrups were de-
signed to treat throat, lung and bron-
chial affections without due regard for
the stomach and bowels, hence most of
them produce constipation. Bee’s, the
original Laxative Honey and Tar,
gently moves the bowels and cures all
coughs, colds, croup, etc. Bee’s Laxa-
tive Honey and Tar is the original
Laxative Cough Syrup. Look for the
letter Bin red on every package. Sold

The editor and wife are under obli-
gations to J. A. Berkey, Esq., for a sea-
son ticket to his beautiful Edgewood
Grove, at Somerset, also a neat pamph-
let containing a list of attractions
booked for the grove this season, to-
gether with fine half-tone views of the
grounds, buildings and nearby sur-
roundings. Edgewood Grove is truly
- merous friends express the wish that
the pleasure spot of Somerset county,
owe Mr. Berkey a large debt of grati-
tude for providing them such an ideal
resort for pienics. conventions, concerts
and gatherings of all kinds.
Because a girl has not married
young, and is approaching the age
where, if single, she will be put into
the “old maid” class, is no proof that
she is not good and nice, but rather is
an evidence that she knows her ow
worth ; that she has good sense and a
proper appreciation of life, and will
not “hitch up” with just anybody who
might propose. We have a few such in
our vicinity, and they are jewels, worth
their weight in geld. In this locality,
as elsewhere, the best are not the
easiest obtained, but lucky is the
worthy young man who is accepted.

A stranger called at a hotel in a
certain town and said he was broke
and very hungry. The landlord took
him to the dining room and gave orders
for his dinner. When he got up from
the table, a $20 bill dropped from his
handkerchief which he pulled from his
pocket. The waitress picked it up and
handed it to the landlord, who con-
fronted him with the fact and at once
took out 75 cents (50 was the regular
price) and returned $19.25 to the
stranger, who was apparently dumb-
founded and speechless. Later on, the
vigilant landlord learned that the bill
was counterfeit.
Judge Horner, of Somerset, celebrat-
ed another birthday anniversary, last
Saturday, which was his sixty-second
birthday, but far from his sixty-second
celebration, for it is said the Judge has
more birthday celebrations in a year
than any other person known of. How-
ever, his friends remembered this oc-
casion by the hundred. and the Judge
remembered his friends by providing a
lunch and cigars for them when they
called at his office to extend congratu-
lations. The Judge delights in calling
himself “one of the boys,” and his nu-
he shall continue to be one among
them for years to come.—Somerset
Standard.
C. H. Hughes, a prominent producer
of Cranberry township, owns a fox-
hound that he prizes very highly,
owing to the animal’s wonderful power
of being able to throw its voice. The
canine, which is a natural ventriloquist
and a fine specimen of his breed, de-
veloped this unprecedented freak of
nature when a pup, and by continued
practice is now able to throw his voice
at will. The owner will train this
twentieth century wonder to hunt foxes
the coming fall and thinks he can make
it pay, as the dog, by throwing his voice
ahead of the fleeing Reynard will cause
him to take the back track and to fall
a victim to the foxiness of the hound.
The above can be verified by interview-
ing Mr. Hughes.—Franklin News.
Our friend Jacob D. Miller recently
returned from a business trip to the
locality where Somerset, Fayette and
Westmoreland counties join each other.
He reports a good time at the home of
his cousin, the notorious Bill Pritts,
his brother-in-law, Jacob Tinkey, and
other friends. Tom Daugherty was
with him, and both testify that the
“mountain dew” in that vicinity is just
as good as in days of yore. They re-
port a most excellent time, but say
that the ravages of unsightly worms in
that vicinity are frightful to behold.
Rusty-looking worms about an inch
long have been playing havoc with
fruit and forest trees in that yicinity
during the last three years, and acres
of forest and orchard can be seen
stripped entirely of leaves. They are
more harmful than the moonshine dis-
tillery worms, and fences, buildings
and trees are literally alive with them.
“Times are hard, money is scarce,
business is dull, retrenchment is a duty.
Please stop my”’—whiskey? “Oh, no;
times are not hard enough for that.
Please stop my”’—tobacco and cigars?
“No, no—not these, but I must retrench
somewhere. Please stop my”’—jewels,
ornaments and trinkets? “Not at all;
pride must be fostered if times are
ever so hard. I must think of some-
thing else. Ah, I have it now. Please
stop my subscription to church ex-
penses and my home paper. I must
save that. I cannot afford to pay any-
thing to the church and for papers
when times are so hard. And I will
not be able to give anything to mis-
sions this year. Of course I want to
see the world brought to Jesus, but I
must economize. Then I must stop my
religious paper. I cannot do without
my city newspapers and magazines,
but the church paper and local paper
makes the cost too great. I'll get the
local and church news from the neigh-
bors.”—Ex.
Makes Them Smile.
It so happened that the Pennsylva-
nia Democrats held a state conyention
the other day, for they have a tradi-
tion that those gatherings must be held.
The Philadelphia gas scandal fortu-
nately furnished to them ample ma-
terial for some ringing resolutions, the
gist of which is that “there is no hope
for Philadelphia except in the union of
good citizens with the Democratic or-
ganization to overthrow her machine
government.” The reformers cannot
but smile at this, for what has the
Pennsylvania Democracy been for
years other than the tender of the
dominant machine?—Springfield Re-
