WOMAN’S WARS.
In her woman’s heart was a poem,
A grand and tender song,
A word of hope for the weary,
A stern rebuke to the wrong.
1t often pleaded for utterance,
For voice to reach the world,
To be raised where all might hear it,
A banner of love unfurled.
But she never found the moment,
With days so full of care,
To breathe out the burning heart words
Of her poem nestling there.
There wore always household duties,
Dull rounds for every day,
And just before, step by step,
Some task unfinished lay.
Her children grew up and blessed her,
And honored her sainted name;
She has guided their childish footsteps,
But she had missed the road to fame:
From the many snares and pitfalls
Along the youthful way,
Her watchful eye had saved them;
Not one had wondered astray.
The good angel wrote down her life-work,
A pure and shining page,
More sweet than dreams of a poet,
More grand than seer or sage;
She had met each homely duty,
Striving not for earth’s renown,
Her life was a poem of beauty,
Her reward in heaven—a crown.
Fault-Finding is a good deal like the
drink habit. Once begun in a family,
it is very easy to continue, and very
difficult to arrest one’s self. But we
believe more families have been wreck-
ed by fault-finding than by drink. It
is hard to decide which of these two
vices is the greatest enemy to a happy
home.
We sometimes wonder if our readers
sufficiently appreciate this department.
‘We believe in time it will have an in-
fluence for good in any community. It
cannot fail in a measure, at least, to
mould the character of those who
weekly read it. If our readers appre-
ciate it they should not be backward in
giving to us an encouraging word. If
you can make any suggestions where-
by we can improve upon this feature,
we would be pleased to listen to them.
Our only aim and object is to give our
and good homes. If you enjoy this de-
partment of our paper, in your own
way and manner make the fact known
to us. A little encouragement from
subscribers is a great tonic for the
weary editor.
Our readers all doubtless have a de-
sire to be happy, and are ever watching
for the road to happiness. You. have
doubtless had many roads to happiness
pointed out to you. The young as well
as the old have their dark days. The
days in May time of life are just as
cloudy as in life's November. The
grandmother and granddaughter
breathe the same deep sigh. It is a
false idea that we are happier in child-
hood and youth than we will ever be
again. If we live right, the older we
get the happier we are. As you ad-
vance in life, as you come out into the
world and have your head and heart
full of good, honest, practical work,
then you know what it is to begin to be
happy. The longer the fruit hangs on
the tree the riper and more mellow it
grows. The longer you live the right
kind of a life the more useful and
happy you become.
Our readers who now have “silver
threads among the gold” can well re-
member the good, old-fashioned home,
where upon a stormy night they would
sit by the old hearthstone, while the
great fire up the chimney roared.
They can yet see reflected from the
ever changing golden sheen of the
blaze the images of merry boys and
playful girls, or with their slates and
pencils and school books solying by the
flickering blaze the problems assigned
them by the old schoolmaster. What
visions they can see in the fire, visions
of the forgotten long ago, of joys and
sorrows strangely mixed; visions of
romping boys and laughing girls, vise
jons of love’s first dream, of eyes that
caught the broken story from lips that
could not speak it ; visions of the bridal
queen crowned with coronet of maiden
blushes ; visions of life’s stern battle;
visions of sorrow’s first shadow ; visions
of all life’s checked pathway as: it
winds through flowery fields or pain’s
hot desert sands, through the fragrant
spice groves of joy or over sorrow’s
mountain crags. We would not be an
“old fogy,” but our modern and besuti-
ful homes of today, with their darken-
ed parlors so the sunlight will not fade
the carpets; where a nurse instead of a
mother amuses the children, if per
chance there be any. As one recalls to
memory these incidents and pictures
of the far distant past, it brings a sigh
for a return of the good old days, be-
fore weslth and fashion united in rob-
bing home of half its real injoyments.
WHAT TO READ.
When you have the “blues” and can
see no silver lining to the dark clouds
that are constantly above you, read the
twenty-seventh Psalm.
When: your pocket-book is as empty
as an editor's, read the thirty-seventh
Psalm. _
When your neighbors are unkind to
you, and even those near and dear to
you slight you, read the fifteenth chap-
ter of John.
When you are discouraged about
your work, and nothing seems to go
right, read the 126 Psalm.
When you are all out of sorts, and
hardly kfiow what the matter is, read
the twelfth chapter of Hebrews.
When you are losing confidence in
mankind, read the thirteenth chapter
of I Corinthians.
If you can’t have your own way, then
silence is golden, and you will get re-
lief by reading the third chapter of
James.
When you want all the late news
from a reliable source, read the paper
which you now hold in your hands.

M. E. Conference at Beaver.
When the Pittsburg conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church meets
in Beaver, Wednesday, October 4, the
problem of how to place 287 ministers
in 280 pulpits will have to be disposed
of. Bishop Earl Cranston is now fish-
ing in Canadian waters, and is sup-
posed to be endeavoring to solve this
problem.
The officers of this conference are
likely to make but few changes or new
appointments this year, and the com-
ing conference promises to be an un-
usually quiet one. There are no pre-
siding elders to appoint this year; no
delegates are to be elected to a general
conference, and no memorials to be
voted upon.
The church has begun to adjust itself
to the removal of the five-year limit on
pastorates, and the elimination is giv-
ing the greatest satisfaction. Under
the new system there is no limit in
which one pastor can serve a congre-
gation, though he must be appointed
from year to year, thereby insuring
the possibility of flexibility and sta-
bility.

most relish, and at the same time be

THE ART OF “DOING” PEOPLE.
Under this head Tae STAR will from
week to week expose some of the fraud-
ulent advertising schemes by which
shrewd charlatans in various cities and
towns gather in the hard-earned coin
of unsuspecting persons who are usual-
ly on the lookout to get something of
considerable value for a trifling con-
sideration, or who are looking for easy
employment at good wages. Read this
column closely, as it may save you from
being g “sucker” and foolishly parting
with your money.
THE AUTOMOBILE SWINDLE.
As a rule the swindlers who operate
through the mails are satisfied with a
small profit from each dupe, some con-
tenting themselves with as little as ten
cents and the more ambitious ones
with a dollar or two. Once ina while,
however, a high-roller appears among
them who raises the limit to ten or
even twenty dollars. On June 1st, a
fraud order was issued against an in-
dividual at Greycourt, New York, who
was running a twenty dollar game.
Like the ring-game people he uses cir-
cular letters. Here is one of them:
DEAR SIR—I am about to put on the
market a new breakfast food and want a
good name for it. I am told that the great
Uneeds was a layman’s idea, and in the
hope of unearthing another such I offer to
a few the following: Suggest a good name
for the food, one with advertising possibili-
ties. - If I decide to use your idea I will give
you as payment a Winton Automobile, your
only expense to be the freight to your home.
Answer at once, as I shall use the first good
name received.
To all who answered this letter sug-
gesting a name, the following commun-
ication was sent:
DEAR Sir—I have decided to use your
idea of U-Auto-Eat (or whatever the name
suggested happened to be) it fits all “ad”
plans. The auto is yours. I will ship it to
ou on receipt of the freight ($20.00). Ex-
cuse brevity, but I am rushed to death.
Needless to say those who sent the
twenty dollars to “pay the freight” are
still waiting for the automobile.
The mail-order fakir is always on the
outlook for some new scheme. Know-
ing this one of the trike, who evidently
takes no stock in the saying that there
is no honor among thieves, prepared an
advertisement that would appeal to
his brother scalawags, and is said to
have reaped a rich harvest of dimes
before the Postoffice Department put
him out of business. This individual,
hailed from Long Branch, New Jersey
and used the following “bait :”
AGENTS WANTED: Over a quart of
dimes received from one small adver-
tisement in Sunday paper. Only 40 cents
capital required. Will send copy of ad for
ten cents coin.
To those who sent him ten cents the
Jersey genius mailed a copy of the very
advertisement that had produced the
response.
A promoter of fake mail-order
schemes against whom a fraud order
was recently issued says, in one of his
circulars, that “the American people
want something for nothing.” That is
the theory that nearly all these sharp-
ers work upon. The man who is him-
golf honest, and who has learned that
every good thing commands a good
price, is reasonably safe from their
wiles, but all men are not wise, and
some men—as Mr. Artemas Ward re-
minds us in hisadvertisements of Hand
Sapolio—are not even good.

A LAXATIVE COUGH SYRUP.
“A cold or cough nearly always pro-
duces constipation—the water all runs
to the eyes, nose and throat instead of
passing out of the system through the
liver and kidneys. For the want of
moisture the bowels become dry and
hard.” Kennedy’s Laxative Honey and
Tar is the original Laxative Cough
Syrup. It meets and corrects the
above conditions, by acting as a pleas-
amt cathartic on the bowels—expels
all colds from the system and cures all
coughs, croup, whooping cough, La-
Grippe, bronchitis, ete. Sold by E. H.

ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL.
When indigestion becomes chronic it
is dangerous. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
will cure indigestion and all troubles
resulting therefrom, thus preventing
Catarrh of the Stomach. Dr. New-
brough, of League, W. Va, says: “To
those suffering from indigestion or
sour stomach I would say there is no
better remedy than Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. I have prescribed it for a num-
ber of my patients with good Jsuccess.”
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you
eat and makes the stomach sweet.

Engaged people should remember,
that after marriage, many quarrels can

8. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, 8. C.,
gays: “For years my wife suffered in-
tensely from dyspepsia, complicated
with a torpid liver, until she lost her
strength and vigor, and became a mere
wreck of her former self. Then she
tried Electric Bitters, which helped her
at once, and finally made her entirely
well. She is now strong and healthy.”

—so think those who are sick. When
you have a cough, cold, sore throat or
chest, irritation, better act promptly
like W. C. Barber, of Sandy Level, Va.
He says: “I had a terrible chest
trouble, caused by smoke and coal dust
on my lungs; but, after finding no re-
lief in other remedies, I was cured by
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs snd Colds.” Great-

Arrangements have been made for
excursion rates from Ohio Pyle, Con-
fluence, Ursina, Johnstown, Hoovers-
ville, Stoystown, Friedens, Listie, Som-
erset, Berlin, Meyersdale, Sand Patch,

will be served; those not prepared
with luncheon baskets can procure
substantial meals at the restaurant on
the ground, at reasonable rates. Hot
coffee and regular old-fashioned army
bean soup will be served at 5c. a cup.
From 1 to 2 o’clock there will be a

The Wilson Creek Cornet Band and
the Berlin Drum Corps will furnish

caring for baseball games can interest
themselves in various ways among the
spreading oaks of the beautiful grove.
