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.

In a report recently issued by the
Secretary of War, showing the com-
parative proficiency attained by the
different organizations of the Army
and the names of the expert riflemen,
the name of Capt. Charles E. Tayman,
a former Somerset boy, appears. Mr.
Tayman has charge of Company
First Infantry, U. 8. A., which has a

its Elk Lick mines. The company lost
a block of houses by fire at Merchants
No. 3 mine, in August, 1904, and the in-

tlement.

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

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

mer.—Somerset Herald.

“Jack” McCartney. Charles F. Car-
penter and Samuel B. Hare returned
home Saturday evening from a suec-
cessful trout fishing trip to Royer.
Hare landed a beauty measuring 24
inches and weighing several pounds,
and McCartney hooked another one
that was 22 inches long and weighed
about three pounds. 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
