One of the oddest churches in this country is found in the redwood for- ests of California.

It is built in one of the hollow trees and accommodates a congregation of twenty-five, with space for a recess chancel, which contains a small organ, Tre Meyersdale Commercial last week spoke of the Philadelphia Press as “the acknowledged leader of true Republicanism in the state.” Only a few years ago the Commercial was continually denouncing the Press as a “half-breed” sheet, and its editor, the brilliant Charles Emory Smith, as a “mugwump,” “party-wrecker,” etc. Our old friend Lou changes his political views every time the moon changes. Tur Russian-Japanese war has fur- nished a new argument in favor of temperance. The Russians drink heavily and almost universally, be- sides indulging in other forms of im- morality. This, of course, leads to de- moralization and inefficiency. The Japanese, on the contrary, are a sober people, always clear-headed and fit to do their work in the best manner. In a contest between a sober and drunken army no prophet is needed to foretell the victory. The Japanese have proven themselves far superior to the Russians in every respect, and in nothing more than in morals. Ir is not generally known that, among his many claims to fame, Thom- as Jefferson was the originator of the mule in America. He it was who brought about the first cross in Vir- ginia which, by subsequent multiplica- tion, introduced to posterity the inval- uable farm animal whose labor has done go much to bring about the mar- velous agricultural development of the United States. While they are build- ing 80 many monuments, why not one to the mule? Many men have been honored in sculpture whose services to the country and claims upon its grati- tude are not so great as that of “the useful animal, which has neither pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity.”— American Farmer. IN the death of John Hay, our late Secretary of State, this nation and the world has lost one of its greatest men. John Hay was a diplomat and states- man whose like the world has produc- ed but few equal. He was also a poet of rare ability, and between the lines of many of his poems can be plainly read sentiments as timely and as lofty as were contained in his written words. His religion was the religion of human- ity, and in the passing of John Hay the human race has lost one of its most lovable and loving members. With him the rank was but the guinea’s stamp, the man the gold for all that. May his great, gentle, poetic soul live to add lustre to the better life beyond throughout all time. MvucH rot is published these days concerning “the divorce evil.” While it cannot be denied that there is con- siderable evil in the divorce business, there is also much good in it. At least three-fourths of the divorce-seek- ing couples ought to be divorced. What moral right have people who are mismated to remain yoked together for life and inflict upon society a pro- geny conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity? What kind of eiti- zens can you expect the children of quarreling, fighting parents to grow up tobe? It can scarcely be hoped that many of the children of such parents can grow up to be anything else than criminals. Married people who ecan- not live together in peace and decency are not fit to ljve together and rear families, and they should be divorced and permitted to seek more congenial companionship. Divorce has been the only redemption and salvation of many a good, pure woman whose hasband turned out to be acruel drunken brute. Why should any woman be compelled to remain the wife of a drunken, erim- inal wretch and continue to bear him children? The evil in many marriages is far greater than the so-called divorce evil. 'Clergymen and magistrates should be more careful in exercising their legal rights in performing mar- riage ceremonies. They have a legal right to marry any and every couple who are their own masters, but they perform many marriage ceremonies that they have no moral right to per- form. They have no moral right to legalize unions of man and woman in cases where they know positively that such marriages will be a curse not only to the couples themselves, but to society in general and to unborn gen- erations as well. How often do clergy- men join men and women together with the full knowledge that the be- trothed are neither fit morally, men- tally nor physically to become hus- band and wife, father or mother? How must they feel in such cases when they say,—“What God and man hath joined together,let no man put asunder!” Isn't it simply awful to charge God with having had a hand in the joining together of some of the foolish, crimi- nal and silly couples that preachers frequently declare man and wife? Wouldn't it take a “peach” of a God to have a hand in some of the marriages that you know of? Let the brethren of the cloth and the robe refuse to join together such couples as they know to be unfit to enter upon marriage rela- tions. Let them drop the old stereo- typed saloon argument—“if we don’t take their money somebody else will.” Let those who know the right, refuse to yoke up criminals, invalids and fools, and with their influence brought to bear as it should upon the Messrs. Somebodyelse always spoken of, there will soon be fewer improper marriages and much less cause and demand for’ divorce. A Howl from Dr. Lichty. Dr. A. M. Lichty felt very sore when he read the following item in last week’s SraAr: A reliable man from Greenville town- ship stated in the postoffice, some days ago, that the supposed victim of small- pox that was recently sent to that township from this borough had about fully recovered, that the eruption had all disappeared and left neither scales nor scabs. He got the information di- rect from the vietim’s father, he said, and that ought to be good authority. One can readily imagine about how much smallpox there was about the case, and it is more than probable the whole thing was another cry of “wolf” when there was no “wolf.” He didn’t only feel sore when he read the item, but he made a laughing stock and a fool of himself when he jumped onto the editor in a very petu- lent and excited manner about it in Miller’s drug store. He declared that we had no right to form an opinion concerning the alleged case of smallpox. and he also made other fool assertions too numerous to mention. He had much to say con- cerning the great wisdom of physicians and the folly of those who refuse to believe in all their guess work, but rather prefer to do a little thinking and observing on their own account. The doctor should not be so hysteric- al and ultra excitable, for we did not say that the woman referred to did not have smallpox. We expressed some doubt about it, saying one could readily imagine about how much smallpox the woman had. Some, no doubt, imagine that the woman had smallpox, but a great many more imagine that she hadn’t, and we imagine as the majority of the people do who have been inquir- ing into the matter. We don’t care who coincides with our opinion, and we don’t care who does not, for unlike the doctor. we do not believe in throt- tling free speech and free thought. That day has gone by, and a man con- vinced against his will is of the same opinion still. Those who always read TE STAR at other people’s expense are always the ones to read it the closest and criticise it the most, but we are glad that they read it, anyway. The editor of THE Star has paid Dr. Lichty a good many dollars for his professional services, yet it always seemed to grind him whenever we patronized other doctors who spent two dollars with us to his one, and, as a matter of course, his weighty (?) name had to come off our list and his professional card pulled out of our paper shortly after it be- came apparent to him that we would not give him our exclusive patronage in his line. He now prefers to read a borrowed copy of the paper every week and then criticise its contents. Well, he may howl till the cows come home, and we dont care a straw for all the dirt he has done and is still trying to do this paper. We are not beholding to him in any way, and he can not gag the press in this enlightened age. He is not the only tin can in the alley, and we can hoe our row along side of him any old day in the week. The doctor is reported to have ree marked to one of our friends, the other day, that we have lots of ability, but make too many mistakes. Able men never deny mistakes, but egotists al- ways do. We all make too many mis- takes, but we can’t all bury them in the graveyards as the doctors usually do. We make our share of mistakes, to be sure, but they do not cost our patrons as much as a doctor’s mistakes cost his patrons. A doctor’s mistakes are usually more costly to his patrons than all the benefits derived from doc- tors. Yet, doctors are useful men, but they are not little tin gods on wheels, as some of them seem to imagine they are, and none of them should be so narrow- minded as to get “huffy” at people who do not always agree with them, for doctors often disagree with each other. Anyway, if a doctor is too much of a mossback to subscribe for his home pa- per, he should at least be dignified enough not to read borrowed copies and then attempt to heap criticism upen the editor in petulent language in public places. But Doc Lichty is a first rate fellow, aside from his narrowness and lack of public spirit, even if he couldn’t “deliver the goods” to Prof. Pool, ac- cording to his own imagination. Read Every Word of This; it Comes from the Heart. Those of our subscribers who have lately been favoring us with cash have our most generous and grateful thanks; especially those who have been paying old accounts in full and a year in ad- vance. We trust that many more will follow their good example and do like- wise, as never before have we been so urgently in need of all the money that is due us. The hand of affliction is still heavy upon us, as our two young sons have been stricken down with disease since our issue of last week. This time it is typhoid fever, of which there seems te be a great deal in this locality at this time. Those in our household who are well, and those who are convalescing, are almost worn out caring for the sick, and sickness, trouble and expense have made desolate our home ever since early in April. Of necessity our busi- ness must suffer along with the family until the dark clouds of sickness are dispelled by the sunshine of health. Every dollar of indebtedness paid to us now has a double value to it,and we have enough due us to meet any and all emergencies.

What efforts are you making to get just a little bit ahead of the fellow across the street? May be you are just sitting supinely, growling on ac- count of the so-called summer decline and hoping for an early fall and re- vival of trade. I could never quite understand this “summer dullness.” There are just as many people in the world in the sum- mer as in the fall and winter. There is just as much money in one season as in another. "There are just as many wants to be catered to in one season as in another. Of course, I want to make allowance for a certain stagnation im trade due to a stocking up by your customers during the spring and fall months. May be, however, you are what is known as a “spring and fall buyer,” only. Buying along certain fixed lines laid down by tradition and forgetting the hundred and one novel- ties and extras with which you could sustain your volume of business dur- ing the so-called dull months. If you are complaining of the dull- ness this summer, set it down to twe causes. First—you have nothing to sell rel- evant to the season. Second—you are not advertising. You say, “what is the use of adver- tising? I have had my spring rush and I might as well just settle down and wait until fall. I have not much to advertise anyhow—only odds and enlls.” “Odds and ends” yes, and that is your stumbling block with stock de- pleted and no effort on your part te get in new and different goods appli- cable to the season, and with no conse- quent effort to push them. You are ne doubt in the midst of the dull season. It is a good thing to advertise all the year ‘round. It is better to have some- thing to advertise all the year around. I can not tell you intelligently what you ought to have. I can not point the way to your success, but I will venture to say that nine out of ten retail mer- chants can overcomes a large amount of summer sloth in business by judicious advertising of judiciously purchased commodities.—The Ad-Writer.
