What is the Lord’s first name?” “I’m not sure,” replied Tommy, wisely, “but paps always calls him O. Lord.”— Ex.

Sole by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 A careful calculator has figured out that the average man utters 11,800,000 words in a year. No ffgures are given as to the number of words a woman utters, but he may not be through yet with this problem or may have gotten beyond the bounds of calculation.—Ex. The coke trade is so slack that the Somerset Coal Company have drawn the fires from 145 ovens at Elk Lick mines. Work in all the mines at the present time is very slack, and there has not been a time in the past ten years that the coal trade has been so badly demoralized as at the present time.—Meyersdale Republican. Suppose the newspaper man, every time he hears anyone criticise him or his paper, should retaliate by holding up to public gaze all the faults and shortcomings of the aforesaid fault- finder, what would be the result? The editor may not know it all, but he does not live in a community long before he knows a great deal more than he pub- lishes.—Ex. : Rufus Choate once tried to get a Boston witness to give his idea of ab- sent-mindedness. “Well,” said the witness, who was a typical New Eng- land Yankee, “I should say that a man who thought he’d left his watch to hum, and took it out’n his pocket to see if he’d time to go hum and get it, was a leetle absent-minded.”—Phila- delphia Ledger.

The Merchants Coal Company has entered suit against the Farmers In- surance Company, of York, Pa., to re- cover $1,175 on a policy of $4,400 that the defendant company was carrying on the houses of the coal company at its Elk Lick mines. The company lost a block of houses by fire at Merchants No. 3 mine, in August, 1904, and the in- surance company refuses to make set- tlement. The original is always the best—imi- tations are cheap. Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrap.

The letter B in red is on every package. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 There have been college yells and college yells, but perhaps that of the Vanderbilt University football team which has gone to work in the Kansas wheatflelds is the most striking. Here is the rythmie sound to which they pile up the golden grain: “Wahoo! Hulabaloo, 7—11—62. Muscle and meat! Tell with the heat! Show us the wheat! The wheat!! The wheat |! "—Ex. A small boy recently wrote to a Pennsylvania legislator asking for a re- port of the State Fish Commission. The member, who is a relative of the youth, was greatly pleased at the re- quest and exhibited it in the State Capitol. He wrote the boy, however, asking what report was wanted, ex- plaining that a volume was issued yearly. Whether he ever showed the boy’s reply to his friends or not, it has leaked out. It reads: “I don’t care which year it is. All I want is any old thing heavy enough to press wild flowers.” Speaker Cannon is a great lover of green corn. He boards at the Arling- ton and one day took one of his Illinois farmer constituents todinner with him. Cannon made his dinner on green corn, eating seven ears. The farmer asked him how much he paid for board at the Arlington, and Cannon replied: “8ix dollars a day.” “Well,” said the farmer constituent, “Joe, don’t you think it would be cheaper for you to board at a livery stable?” The purchasers of the Meyersdale- Salisbury electric railroad stock and franchises, recently sold at Sheriff’s sale, met here Friday and effected a re-organization of the company. O. P. Kennedy and S. M. Graham, of Union- town, and A. O. Lorentz, of Meyersdale, were elected members of the board of directors. The remaining directors are Pittsburgers. It is reported that the road will be completed this sumn- mer.—Somerset Herald. The pills that act as a tonic, and not as a drastic purge, are Dewitt’s Little Early Risers.

Hare returned home Saturday evening from a suec- cessful trout fishing trip to Royer.

The week pre- vious Mr. Carpenter caught a beauty about the same size as those caught by his companions.—Altoona Tribune. An English prisoner on being put into the dock in a London court, leaned over the front of the box and handed a “dock guinea” to a young member of the bar. “You defended me once be- fore, sir ; do you remember? And got me off. It was at Heriford Sessions, sir, for stealin’ a watch.” “For the alleged stealing of a watch, you mean,” corrected the barrister, as he pocketed his fee. “Alleged, be blowed!” replied the prisoner promptly. “I've got the watch at ‘ome now!” If in a kind of bilious mood, You wish an aid to digest food, No other pill is half so good, As DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. The Famous Little Pills Early Risers cure Constipation, Sick Headache, Bil- jousness, etc. They never gripe or sicken, but impart early rising energy. Good for children or adults. Sold by E. H. Miller. 7-1 Prof. D. F. Enoch yesterday filled a long-felt want by slapping a disgusting and impudent 15-year-old brat for a series of offenses that the brat should have been slapped to sleep for long ago. The brat's irate father made a spectacle of himself by taking up for his son, abusing the professor, talking of fighting, etc., notwithstanding the fact that he wants to be a high “muck- e-muck” in church. He should have ‘licked” his impudent son thoroughly and thanked Prof. Enoch for giving him the slapping he deserved. The new law concerning automobiles, passed by the last Legislature and ap- proved by the governor, provides that such machines must be registered, and the certificate carried. Astate license, if no local license is required, must be procured, costing $3. Five-inch tags giving the number of the machine must be carried front and back. At least one light must be carried at night, showing white 100 feet forward and red light backward. A bell or horn device must be sounded at crossings. The car must be stopped at signal of drivers of frightened horses. The speed limit is ten miles an hour in towns and cities, and 20 miles in coun- try. The penalty for first violation is fixed at a fine of $10 to $25 or 10 days in jail ; second offense, $25 to $100 or 30 days in jail. A very serious runaway occurred on Main street, Tuesday evening. Harry Maust, a prosperous young farmer liv- ing two miles west of Berlin, drove into town and hitched his horse, which was a spirited one, in front of Miller's res- taurant. Some careless person threw a cannon cracker under the horse, causing him to brake away and run at full speed up Main street. He was stopped at the head of the street, led back and tied again, but so frightened was the animal that he broke his fas- tenings a second time and dashed off at breakneck speed. The buggy was demolished, and the horse so badly in- jured that it is feared he will have to be killed. If the law regarding the sale of explosives had been enforced in this town, this unfortunate and costly acei- dent would not have occurred.—Berlin Gleaner. All old-time cough syrups were de- signed to treat throat, lung and bron- chial affections withoutidue regard for the stomach and bowels, hence most of them produce constipation. Bee’s, the original Laxative Honey and Tar, gently moves the bowels and cures all coughs, colds, croup, ete. Bee’s Laxa- tive Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrup. Look for the letter B in red on every package. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 9-1 Capital stock .-$ 50,000.00 60,000.00 960,000.00 1,088,000.00 Surplus fund.. LN DEPONITORY, == I INT: THREE PER CENT.
