The election is over and no doubt a great majority of citizens of the county i are ready to drop politics for a season, but thisldoes not seem possible with the { Meyersdale Commercial and the Her- ald, who continue to misrepresent and slander every person of different politi- cal faith. It will be recalled that when sending out the election supplies the Commissioners failed to include the registry lists, and these had to be sent out by special delivery the night before the election. The newspapers named say this oversight will cost the county hundreds of dollars, when ar a matter of truth it has not, and will not cost the county a penny. The Commission- ers admit that the mistake was made in their office, and the expense will be borne by the persons responsible for it, says the Somerset Standard. “1 THANK THE LORD?!” cried Hannah Plant, of Little Rock Ark., “for the relief I got from Buck- len’s Arnica Salve. It cured my fear- ful running sores, which nothing else would heal, and from which I had suf- fered for 5 years.” It is a marvelous healer for cuts, burns and wounds. Guaranteed at E. H.

There were twin sisters in the neighborhood, and they were ex- actly alike, except that one had black eyes and the other blue. He loved both alike, and was willing to marry either. : He put the question to each girl and each said yes, and there he was in a very sweet pickle. The father of the young ladies learned of the situ- ation and proposed that they settle the matter by: pulling straws. The girls and the young man agreed to let the straws decide, and the test was made. The blagk-eyed twin got the longest straw and the man.—Cumberland Courier. 4, A DISASTROUS CALAMITY.

An order has been issued by the Bal- timore & Ohio railroad to the effect that hereafter none of the cars of the system, especially box cars, shall be loaded by «hippers for any point on «nother system of railway. : The new order will doubtless cause <ome inconvenience among shippers whose products are sent all over the country. It will be necessary here- after for shippers desiring to send their staff over fareign roads to secure their cars and load them, instead of loading B. & O. cars. i ee Fraternal Orders. There are in America to-day more than 200 fraternal beneficiary orders, with a combined membership of over 5,000,000, who are protected to the ex- tent of more than $7,500,000.000, and have distributed benefits to disabled members amounting to more than $825,000,000. In 1904 alone they dix- tributed $65,000,000, or at the rate of $1,250,000 per week, besides paying over 4,000 death claims last year. Sixty- four of these orders have a member- ship of over 10,000, and the others from 5,000 to 7,000. BIRDSEYE VIEW OF SALISBURY. Something that Ought to Interest Salisbury People Who Have Located Elsewhere. THE 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 TE 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,land 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.

He heard murmurs and the sound of feet outside. Fearing that it was a party of hazing sophomores ready to rush in and seize him, he dared not open His door to investigate. Suddenly the disturbance ceased, and retreating footsteps could be heard, dying away at last. Much relieved, he turned over to sleep, only to be aroused by renewed terror at the *“‘stomp, stomp, stomp” of some one coming up the hallway toward his room. “Old Had,” as the Greek professor was affectionately rather than disrespectfully called, was the only person in the region ca- pable of that staccaoo thud; for he was obliged to make use of crutches. His voice, too, had a peculiar but agreeable metallic ring, and his enunciation was so de- liberate that in an indolent man it would have degenerated into a drawl. No student who ever had spent a week in his classroom could mistake it. When the thumping ceased at the door, it was followed by a knock of unqualified decision and authority. The young man sprang from his bed, pulled the bolt, turned back the key and began timidly opening the door. : “You need not open,” said the well- known voice. “I can say all I want to with it ajar. Why are you making such a breach of the peace? Your un- seemly noises can be heard for blocks.” : “But—but—=sir,” stammered the hadly rattled youth, “It wasn’t me, sir, I assure you, sir.” “ ‘Wasn't me is bad grammar. Do not add that to your offenses.” “But Indeed I didn't do it—the noise I mean, not the grammar. I was asleep, and it woke me up.” : “I do not care to engage in a com- troversy at this untimely hour,” sald the professor. “I heard the noises my- self, and don’t think I can be mistak- en as to who is responsible.” “But, indeed, sir, I never—" “I must decline to listen to you. Report to me after the moming reci- tation. Your offense cannot be over looked.”. The inmate of the room would have further protested against the unjust accusation; but the “thumps” of the retreating official grew fainter. : Visions of disgrace and dismissal, of grief to his family, who were mak- ing sacrifices to send him to the uni. versity, and the sudden close of his educational ambitions, tormented him most of the time until morning. Promptly after the recitation he found his way to “Old Had’'s” room. He was trembling at the untoward fate awaiting him unless he eould per- suade the grim professor of his inno- cence; but inasmuch 28 he had no more testimony than on the previous night he could conceive of nothing that was likely to clear up the affair. By this time he had reached the door, at which he knocked far more timidly than the room's occupant had done on his own door a few hours be- fore. “Come in!” rang out the clarion voice, and in he went. The professor lifted his head from the manuscript of the Greek grammar he was preparing for the publishers, with a look of curiosity not unmixed with annoyance at the intrusion. The youth stood there, puzzled at his si- lence and inquiring mien. “I've—I've—come sir,” he contrived to stutter at last. “I see you have,” he replied with a tinge of sarcasm that every student with an imperfect lesson dreaded. “I had nothing to do with it. I was asleep, as I told you,” he murmured, hardly audible. “I think you are still asleep and dreaming. Will you tell me your er- rand?” he asked kindly. “Why—why—you told me to come over here right after recitation!” “Oh, did I? I must have been a somniloquist too. When did you think I told you this?” “Why, about midnight, at my room in the Athenaeum Building. This morning I found out that the noise was a lot of paving stones.” The smile, which when unrestrained was capable of momnopolizing a con- siderable area of the professor's in- telligent and humorous face, was overspreading his countenance. He even indulged in a slight chuckle as he said: “I perceive that you have been the victim of a conspiracy. Good morn- ing!” He returned to his work, and the hewildered freshman retired, under- standing at first little of what had happened, except that nothing of what he feared was going to happen to him- self. The astute and experienced official had guessed right. It was a “put-up job” on the freshman by some vagrant sophomores, one of whom with two stout sticks‘'and a successful faculty of imitating the professor’s speech, after rolling the stones through the hall, had knocked at his door and fill- ed him with more misery than an or- dinary hazing would have done. In time he was able to identify most of his tormentors; but he did not report them. The professor had neither time nor inclination to learn who could imitate him so well as to send his unfortunate dupe to rob him of his precious time for special and cherish- ed work.—Sunday Magazine. A hero's reputation is never quite safe until he is dead ané buried. THE NEWS-BEARER. CET CSCEOECERE Old Piny Dart, round-faced and with cheeks like a frost-bitten apple, inno- cent blue eyes, a perpetual smile, an effeminate voice and as harmless zs a dove, was the oracle, the news-bear- er, in a New England rural neighbor- hood. Always informed on all the pettiest gossip, he loved to impart his information to others, and could be depended upon to tell all that was “going on” in the community.” When he called at any of the neighboring farm houses some one would be sure to ask: “Well, news?” “Wal, I dunno as there’s much of anything wuth speakin’ of. I reckon you knew they've got another leetle one over to Hi Dabner’s?” “No! Have they?” “Yaas; borned yistiday. It’s their tenth; but Hi says the more the mer- rier. That’s the right way to look at it. If there’s room in the heart there'll be room in the house for all the leetle folks the good Lord sends one. Sam Moony’s mother-in-law passed away las’ night.” “Did she?” “Yes; went off easy as a glove at sixteen minnits after ‘leven. Good ole woman! I reckon there'll be consid- dable of a fun’'rai with so many kin on bgtn sides o' the house. Elder Stotts is goin’ to preach the sermon. Reckon he'll spread hisself, with her bein’ the oldest member o’ hig church. He can’t say nothin’ but good of her. An’ what pies she could make! Dear old soul! She's in Glory now, an’ some one else will have to make the pies at Bam's house. You know they had a bran’ new pianny at Lem Thurber’'s house?” “I didn’t know it.” “Got it out o’ the fo'teen hundred Lem got for his woodland, an’ I reek- on they're some set up over it. Letty Thurber is a born musicker anyhow. She can play one piece with one hand and another piece with the other hand an’ sing a third chune all at one time. Music runs in the fam'ly. Lem kin play a reg’lar chune on a common coarse comb, an’ Mis’ Thurber kin play the gittar, an’ Jim kin beat the band jerkin’ music out of a fiddle, an‘ little Luey kin play the banjo, an’ the hull fem'ly kin whistle like birds. I tell you when they all git to goin’ at once it's considerable of a rt.” “I should think it would be.” ““Tis. Did you know that Andy Ricer got his wife a new black silk out of the damidge money he got for be- in’ run into and all but kiiled by the ears at that grade crossin’? I reckon his wife thinks it's true that ‘all things work together for good.” She allus wanted a nice black silk, an, I reckon she never would of got it if the railroad hadn't helped her out. Hear about old Silas Thrale gittin’ his tombstun 7° “Why, what do you mean?” “Jess what I say. He's got him a real harnsom stone an’ had it en- graved, all but the day of his takin’ off, an’ has had it set up up in the buryin’-ground. Said he wanted to make sure of havin’ one an ‘havin’ what he wanted on it.” “What did he have on it?” “Oh, a long string o’ stuff settin’ off his virtues that nobody ever knowed before that he had. If that ain't van- ity cropr.n’ out on a tombstun I dun- no what is. Got his wife's age all carved on the stun too. an’ they say she’s mad as a wet hen about it, for she’s been passin’ for a good five years younger than that stun says she is. Kind o’ funny to see a stun set up an’ nobody under it. I'd feel kind 0’ creepy ev'ry time I saw it, if it was mine. Old Tom Manson has got his pension raised from ten to twelve dollars a month, an’ Andy Carneggy ain't in it with old Tom jest now. You'd think to hedr him talk that him an’ Rock’feller was about on a level. I'm glad he’s got it. Them that’s fit and bled for their country has a right to be cared for in their old age. It wouldn’t s’prise me none if Tom got married ag’in on his extry two dollars a month. Hens layin’ much now?” “Very little.” “So it is with ours. Dratted things allus git lazy when eggs go up in price. Hear about how old Miss Drury come out tryin’ to make her hens lay?” “No, how was it?” “Well, her hens wa’n’t layin’ to suit her, an’ she got some new kind o’ stuff to mix in with their feed, an’ you know her eyesight is dreadful poor, an’ she got hold of a package of new- fangled rat pizen, stid of the egg-pro- ducin’ stuff, an’ fed a hull package of it to her hens. They laid all right. Still layin’, I reckon, an’ they won't git up. I happened over there soon after it happened, an’ Mis’ Drury was yankin’ the feathers off the hens, with her teeth set an’ breathin’ hard. You know she’s purty pep’ry in temper, an’ she vowed that if she ever come across the man that invented that pizen she’d manage somehow to give him a dose of it. She’s got sixteen hundred dollars in the bank an’ hen place all her own, so she ain’t no call to worry over the loss of a few hens; still it was tryin’ to lose ’em in that way. Said it spited her so to think of how good some o’ them nice plump hens would of eat. Her old Domineck rooster got a dose too, and turned up his toes along with the hens he'd lorded it over so long. Mis’ Drury said she'd had that rooster so long that she feit like a mother to him. Too bad!"—§Sunday Magazine. Uncle Pliny, what's the A MATTER OF OPINION “Turn around,” requested the young man, settling his eye-glasses a little more firmly on his nose. “No, I mean to one side. I want to get the profile. H'm-n. Now, face me again. Close your eyes. How can I exercise my judgment calmly when you are 100k- ing at me?” “Open them, quick!” said the young man, hastily. “I think, perhaps, it will do if you just fix your eyes on the bookcase. I don’t want to be tempted beyond my strength. Your chin up a ‘triile, please. “You aren’t looking at the hat at all,” said the girl. “You're looking at me.” “Strange!” said the young man, musingly. “I believe I was. But on the other hand, you were looking at me instead of at the bookcase.” “Well, hurry then; I don’t want to stand here on exhibition all day. Do you like it or don’t you?” “You really want my opinion?” “Do you suppose I've been standing here posing for ten minutes for any- thing else?” “Make your mind easy. I really want your opinion. I'm not above getting hints from everybody. Mr. Canlow things it's perfectly stunning ~—the most becoming thing he ever saw me wear.” “Well, you certainly are not.” “Not what?” - “Above getting hints from anybody. So he’s been here,has he?” “He happened to call—yes.” “And you got out your millinery to show him?” “Don’t be absurd and don’t look at me so savagely. 1 had it on when he came, showing it to mother.” “He called to see your mother, I suppose?” “No, I think he called to see me.” “On!” “But mother took it for granted that he came to see her, for she stay- ed and visited with him. Perhaps it was because I winked at her.” “Bless her dear heart,” said the young man, fervently, “She's a jewel.” “Well, what do you think of it?” “See here, I don’t want to decide on a thing like that too hastily. What do you think of it yourself?” “I'm not going to help you a bit. You seem to have a mind of your own about some things.” “As much as you'll allow me to have.” “Nonsense! I don’t think I have a particle of influence over you in any induced me to sit out a symphony con- cert?” “You ‘said you enjoyed it beyond anything.” “So I did. My pipes were the one solace I had on earth before I met you. Enjoyment is too mild -a name {or it.” “I mean the concert.” “Well, enjoyment isn’t too mild a name for that.” “I'm disappointed in you,” said the girl, in a changed voice. “I really did believe you liked it.” “I dare say. But what about the hat?” “It’s quite a hat, all right.” “That’s what it was represented to be.” “Ye-es. Couldn't be any mistake about it, could there? Of course, it hasn’t a crown, but then it has a de- cided brim to it, and they don’t put feathers on a muff, do they? Well, as to that hat: Turn around full face once more.” “I’ve turned around until I'm tired.” “You say Canlow liked it.” “Immensely!”’ “Well, I don’t.” The girl removed the hatpins with an offended air and then took off the hat and laid it on the table. “Well, you don’t think it becomes me?” “Not a particle,” said the young man, coolly. “Just look at it there. Did you ever see a more lopsided, idiotic, futile nightmare? Become you! No, but you become it, all right! There on the table it’s all that I said it was, but Here, let me put it on again. Now it’s a dream of ele- gance and beauty. It is and it isn’t. Considered as a part of your toilet and attached to you it’s seven-times winner. The charm that radiates from you transforms and transfigures it. It would make my derby look sweet and coquetish if you put it on. But as a hat! Well, I scorn to flatter a hat” “Oh. bother!” said the girl. “Keep it on, ’said the young man. “I've got the tickets right in my pocket and 4 ~ab outside.”—Chicago News. go $2 EE aE TT a VIRGINIA FARMS As low as $5 per Acre with improvements.
