Salisbury People Who;Have
Located Elsewhere.
Tre STAR has for sale a limited num-
ber of very fine pictures of Salisbury,
size 22x32 inches, printed on extra
heavy, smooth paper, from a very fine
engraving. The sketching was done by
T. M. Fowler, of Morrisville, Pa., who
is an expert in his line and has been
following his business in many differ-
ent states of the Union.
The picture is very clear and dis-
tinct, showing all the streets plainly
marked, and those familiar with the
town can plainly recognize every build-
ing in it. The pictures have sold like
“hot cakes” here, and a limited number
have been placed with THE STAR to
supply those at a distance, who may
desire them.
Every former citizen of Salisbury
ought to have one of these fine engrav-
ings, as they show the progress the old
town has been making, which has been
very great in recent years. But we
cannot supply them all, and those who
apply first will get them. The picture
includes West Salisbury, the surround-
ing landscape and some of the farm
houses in the immediate vicinity, also
a large number of the principal build-
ings printed around the margin of the
engraving, from special drawings.
Price, $1.50 per copy, plus 7 cents to
pay postage. Address THE STAR, Elk

side and out. Two of the choicest cot-
tages can be secured if application is

have been engaged in the hotel build-
ing and both annexes.
The popularity of Deer Park is due to
the sea level, out of range of malaria
and mosquitoes. Every convenience is

delightful and the cuisine excellent.
The Hotel is provided with all modern
improvements for comfort; with Bowl-
ing Alleys, Billiard Rooms, Tennis

with through Pullman service during
the season from and to Pittsburg.

een tle.
There is a curious plant that grows
in Arabia and is known by the name of
“laughing plant.” This name comes
from the fact that any one who eats its
seeds cannot control his laughter.
The natives of the district where this
funny plant grows, dry the seeds and
reduce them to powder. A small dose
of this powder makes those who eat it
act very much like the foolish people
who drink more liquor than is good for
them. The soberest person will dance,
shout and laugh like a madman, and
rush about, cutting up the most ridicu-
lous capers for an hour. At the end of
this time the reaction comes. The
dancer is exhausted, and a deep sleep
comes upon him. After a nap of sever-
al hours he awakens with no recollec-
tion of the antics he has performed.—
Ex.
Big Family.
Probably the largest family in West
Virginia is that of Mrs. Mary Ann
Johnson, of Kincaid, in Fayette county.
Mrs. Johnson was the mother of ten
daughters, all of whom were raised to
womanhood, and nine of whom are yet
living. One daughter died at the age
of twenty-seven. All the other nine
daughters have large families. In ad-
dition to the nine daughters, Mrs.
Johnson has eighty-eight grandchil-
dren, 188 great grandchildren and
forty-nine great great grandchildren,
making a total of 333 direct descend-
ants. Mrs. Johnson was bora April 1,
1810, and is now hinety-five years of
age. She is still able to read, write
and sometimes do her own cooking.
She does all her own sewing.
Man and Wife.
Too many men never praise their
wives until they bury them.
The easiest way for a man to pack a
trunk is to get his wife to do it.
There are men who go to a gymnas-
ium for exercise while their wives are
sawing wood.
Generally when a man feels the need
of economy he thinks it ought to begin
with his wife.
There 18 many a wife hungering for
an occasional word of approval who
will be buried in a rosewood casket.
Why is it that it tires some men more
to do a little errand for a weary wife
than it does to walk around a billiard
table for four hours?
If men were as ungallant during
courtship as they are after marriage, it
is doubtful if more than one in 10,000
could ever get a wife—Ex.

The Sides of a Nickel.
The Washington Post relates that
recently a letter was received at the
Treasury Department addressed,
“Uncle Sam, Washington, D. C.” It
reads: “Please find in close 0bct. For
which I want you to tell me the side of
the nickel is heads and what is tails.
Use nickel for postage in return.” The
department replied that there was no
«head or tail” officially, but an “obverse
and areverse side.” The writer was
told to toss a coin and take his choice,
and the nickel was deposited in the
Treasury.

The Last Word on Rockefeller.
The eagerly awaited conclusion of
Miss Tarbell’s character sketch of John
D. Rockefeller is in McClure’s for
August. It builds upon the founda-
tions laid in the first paper a clear and
interesting estimate of the most sig-
nificant personality in contemporary
affairs.
Eminently calm, giving him always
the benefit of the doubt, the real
Rockefeller, judged by his deeds, is ex-
amined and compared with the man
John D. Rockefeller lets the public see
in the Sunday-school, in philanthropy,
and in business activity. His char-
acter is bared of all its pretences, that
the lesson his life teaches may be plain.
In the years of Miss Tarbell’s study
of Standard Oil she has acquired mi-
nute knowledge of John D. Rockefel-
ler’s business career which gives her
first advantage as his biographer, but
it is through her marvellously rare and
temperate view-point and her training
as a historian, that this character
sketch becomes a great and lasting
work. The second paper leaves noth-
ing to be said of John D. Rockefeller.
It places him in his final relation to
the history of his time.
The ‘‘Square Deal” in Business.
Advertising poor goods is like going
to law with a bad case. The chance of
recouping the outlay is exceedingly
slim. The merchant who is ashamed
of his wares is not recommended to
advertise them, for the more people he
induces to try them the greater will be
his loss in the long run. But he who
sells what is honestly priced, and tells
the public about it, makes hosts of new
friends every time he goes into print.
An “ad” that sells directly only fifty
cents worth of goods may be the means
of securing a permanent customer who
will buy $500 worth in a year. It is
easy to influence the consumer, pro-
vided he is given a “square deal.”

The Judge’s Repremand.
An English magazine tells a court
story. A counsel, in the middle of his
cross-examination, was handed a tele-
gram. “Hello!” he said, as he read it,
“So-and-So has won the Derby.” “Mr.
A.” said the Judge, severely, “It is very
unseemly that in the course of solemn
judicial proceedings, where a man’s
liberty and reputation are at stake, you
should be talking of the winner of 2
horserace. Er—by the way, does the
telegram say what was second and
third?” .
Just the Way We Do at The Star
Office.
The managing editor . wheeled his
chair around and pushed s-buttom im
“Here,” said the editor, “are sa sumber-
of directions from outsiders as to the
best way to run a newspaper. See that
they are all carried out.” And the of-
fice boy, gathering them all into a
large waste basket, did so.—Washing-

Big Oats.
Joseph A. Kisner, of Round Glade.
brought to this office on Tuesday a
sample of Silver Mine oats which were
grown on his place, this year, that
eclipses anything we have seen in oats
this year. The heads measured two
feet and were well filled and very
heavy. The crop of oats in this section
this year is said to be above the aver-
age, and there is a very large acreage.
