Time to Quit.
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.

fered for 5 years.” It is a marvelous
healer for cuts, burns and wounds.

Girls Drew Straws for a Man.
A Frostburg man relates the story of
how he got his first wife, some thirty
years ago. 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

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-

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

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.

"HIS PREDICAMENT
Late one evening a Yale freshman
who was custodian of one of the reci-
tation buildings was suddenly awak-
ened by long thunderous noises in the
hall where his bedroom was situated,
ending in a “kerchunk” against the
door of the recitation room at the
end of it. 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.

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.
