Ax exchange tells of a deaf mute
that was arrested for vagrancy and put.
in jail. When informed in writing
that he would have to wait nine days
for his hearing, he wrote the following
on a piece of paper. “I'll be content to
remain in jail two years if I’m to be
given my hearing.” The same mute
was afterward seen going into a wagon-
maker’s shop, where he picked up a
hub and spoke. He was accompanied
by a blind man who picked up a file
and saw.
Complaint Against Ministers.
There are ministers who receive
copies of their home papers year after
year without charge, who never seem
to think of writing, or even telling the
editor of deaths or weddings at which
they officiate, and then they complain
because the item was not published.
They ought at least to pass the hat to
get the editor's contribution to their
salary.—Cumbérland Courier.
Perhaps the Courier man has no
kick coming. Perhaps he is one of the
fool people who cling to the degrading
habit of treating the clergy like a class
of paupers, giving them newspapers,
merchandise, etc., free of charge or at
greatly reduced prices. Many a shal-
low-brained preacher has been spoiled
in that way, and many of them have
the impudence and littleness of char-
acter to give editors and merchants to
understand that if they don’t give the
clergy the benefit of special reduced
prices, that they, the preachers, will
influence the members of their congre-
-| gations to boycott those who object to
ministerial blackmailing and intimida-
tion.
Preachers of that stripe are a dis-
grace to their profession, and no self-
respecting minister will for a moment
feel that he should be treated like a
pauper. The self-respecting preacher,
the clergyman of sincerity and ability
(and that is the only kind fit to pilot
mankind to heaven) is always willing
to pay the same prices for what he buys
as other men pay.
The congregation that doesn’t pay its
pastor enough of a salary to enable
him to live comfortably and pay his
way through the world, same as other
people, isn’t fit to have a pastor. And
any man who has brains enough to
preach ought to be resourceful enough
to make a good living without playing
pauper.
There is nothing wrong about mak-
ing gifts to preachers or to anyone else,
under certain circumstances, but it is a
wrong idea to educate any class of
men to constantly expeet gifts, reduced
prices, ete.
The average country editor is poorer
than the average country preacher, yet
we have known some country preachers
to feel grossly snubbed because their
home papers were not sent to them
free of . charge. Such preachers are
mere “sissies,” and their influence is of
little consequence, no matter in what
direction it is thrown.
During the first few years of our
newspaper career we used to send the
paper to all of the local ministers free
of charge, but we soon found that it
was not the proper thing to do, for
various reasons, but principally for the
reason that it led to gross imposition
on our good nature by those favored.
The only free papers we send out
now are to a few very close personal
friends, and to a few invalids and old
people who have scarcely any means of
supporting themselves. The preachers
are more able to pay for their news-
papers than the school teachers, farm
hands and many other classes of labor-
ers, and no true man among them will
object to doing so.
The Cumberland Courier recently
went to the wall, and doubtless much
of the cause thereof was due to carry-
ing a lot of deadhead subscribers who
should haye been ashamed to read a
State Senator— William C. Miller, Bedford,
poor man’s paper without paying him
for it. The Courier was a semi-weekly
paper published ut $1.00 a year, a price
too low for even a weekly paper to be
issued for, yet we’ll venture the asser-
tion that more than one well paid
preacher read it for nothing and would
have felt grossly insulted if asked- to
become a paying subscriber.
Tue Srar has a large number of
preachers on its list. residing in various
parts of the country, and they pay for
their paper, too, because they are men
of self-respect and ability, and because
they would spurn the idea of being
treated as paupers.
FURIOUS FIGHTING.
“For seven years,” writes Geo. W.
Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., “I had a
bitter battle, with chronic stomach and
liver trouble, but at last I won, and
cured my diseases by the use of Elec-
tric Bitters. I -unhesitatingly recom-
mend them to all, and don’t intend in
the future to be without them in the
house. They are certainly a jwonder-
ful medicine to have cured such a bad
case as mine.” Sold under guarantee

Republican State Chairman Returns
. Thanks.
PHILADELPHIA, PaA.. Dee. 12, 1905.
Editor of Tur STAR, Elk Lick, Pa.
Dear Sir :—I desire to tender, on be-
half of the State Committee, grateful
acknowledgment for the intelligent,
loyal and energetic’ support you gave
through your paper to the Republican
State ticket in the campaign which
closed on November 7th.
It is true the head of the State ticket,
through a combination of circum-
stances over which you had no control,
was sacrificed by misguided Republi-
cans in the interest of the Democratic
party, but it is a satisfaction to recall
the fact that, notwithstanding the ef-
forts of all the opponents of the Re-
publican party in the State of Pennsyl-
vania, a larger vote was cast for Hon.
J. Eee Plummer, as Republican candi-
date for Btate Treasurer, than was ever
before cast for any candidate for the
same office in the history of the party
in this Commonwealth, except for the
present incumbent.
It should be further borne in mind
that if there had not been a combina-
tion between the Democrats, the Pro-
hibitionists, the disappointed office-
seekers and kickers in general, Mr.
Plummer would have carried the State
by more than 100,000 plurality over the
votes cast in the Democratic column.
There is not much consolation in this.
except to be reminded that there are
458,000 Republicans in Pennsylvania
who believe in the glorious traditions
of the party, who recognize that its
policies have made Pennsylvania one
of the richest and most prosperous
states of the Federal Union, and who
cannot be stampeded by frenzied tales
of alleged delinquencies on the part of
local contractors. nor turned from
their allegiance by the opening of the
sluiceways of personal abuse on those
who have the manhood to contend for
the supremacy of the party.
However, the Republican party rec-
ognizes the right of the majority to
govern, and as the people of Pennsyl-
vania are apparently willing to en-
trust their financial affairs to a Demo-
cratic-Prohibitionist Treasurer, they
have no complaint to register.
The last Democratic State Treasurer
of Pennsylvania left the office with the
State about thirty-eight million dol-
lars in debt; when the present incum-
bent surrenders his office next May to
his Democratic-Prohibitionist success-
or, it will be found that this vast
amount has been paid and that the
Commonwealth is free from debt.
Upon this record the Republican party
stands before the people, in the confi-
dent belief that those who deserted its
standard in the face of the enemy on
November 7th, last, by listening and
paying heed to the inventions of the
opposition, will gather in good time by
platoons and divisions under its folds.
With regards and best wishes, I am
yours sincerely,
W. R. ANDREWS, Chairman.
GIVE YOUR STOMACH REST.
Nothing will cure indigestion that
doesn’t digest the food itself, and give
the stomach rest. You can’t expect
that a weak stomach will regain its
strength and get well when it is com-
pelled to do the full work that a sound
stomach should do. You wouldn’t ex-
pect a sick horse to get well when it is
compelled to do a full day’s work every
day of the week. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure is a perfect digestant and digests
the food regardless of the condition of
your stomach. Relieves Indigestion,

MOOTKIE WOOD ARRIVES.
Deaf and Dumb Hindoo Girl Will Be
Educated at the Edgewood
Institution.
Mootkie Wood. the young deaf- and
dumb Hindoo girl whose detention and
threatened deportation from Boston
aroused the indignation of a number of
missionary societies, arrived in Pitts-
burg late last night and i3 now at the
home of Charles R. Myles, Natchez
street. The Hindoo girl, who was or-
dered released by the Washington im-
migration authorities after Mr. Myles
had promised to adopt her, left the im-
migrant station at Long wharf, Boston,
on Saturday afternoon in charge of
Rev. H. F. Reynolds, of New York,
head of the Pentecostal Church of
america, who accompanied ber to
Pittsburg. Mootkie will make her
home with the Myles family. The child
will be educated at the Western Penn-
sylvania Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb, at Edgewood.
The little girl was to have arrived
early in the evening. Mr. Myles re-
ceived a telegram that she would ar-
rive at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
depot at 7 o'clock, but she did not ar-
rive. Mr. Myles then went to the
Union depot, thinking the little girl
might have come by train there. He
could get no trace of her. She arrived
at the Lake Erie depot at 11:30 o’clock.
During the evening many members of
the Mount Washington Pentecostal
church, to which the Myles family be-
long, called at the Myles home to see
the girl, says a Pittsburg exchange.

List of Medicines to be Taxed as
Liquors.
The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue has given out a statement giving a
list of patent medicines, which, he says,
a chemical analysis shows are compos-
ed chiefly of distilled spirits, “without
the addition of drugs or medicinal in-
gredients in sufficient quantity to
change materially the character of the
alcoholic liquor,” and, therefore, sub-
jecting the manufacturers to a special
license as rectifiers and wholesale
liquor dealers. The list is as follows:
Atwood’s La Grippe Specific, Cuban
Gingeric, DeWitt’s Stomach Bitters,
Dr. Bouvier’s Buchu Gin, Dr. Fowler's
Meat and Malt, Duffy’s Malt Whiskey,
Gilbert’s Rejuvenating Iron and Herb
Juice, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,
Kudros, Peruna, Rockandy Cough
Cure.
The time for the taking effect of the
order imposing the license has been
extended from December 1 to January
1 for the manufacturers, and to April 1
for the druggists handling the com-
pounds. This, it issaid, has been done
upon representations that the speedy
enforcement of the order would work
great loss. The commission says:
“By reason of the care given in mak-
ing analyses of these compounds, the
office has been unable to complete the
examination of all such compounds
now upon the market. This office will
continue to make analyses of other
preparations similar to those already
examined, and will announce from
time to time the conclusions reached.
“Until public notice is given as to
other preparations than those above
named, manufacturers of same, drug-
gists and others handling these prepa-
rations will not be held liable for
special tax for other articles than those
set forth herein, provided that the
compounds are sold in good faith as
medicines.”
Letter from State Policeman Mark
A. Prynn.
Our English friend, Mr. Mark A.
Prynn, who by merit has been appoint-
ed a member of our Mounted State
Police, gives THE Star the following
information in a letter written from
Shillington, Berks county, under date
of Dec. 17th:
“The pay for in this place is
$60 per mont bing and equip-
ments. We wil to pay for our
subsistence out of .mount. When
the barrack is completed we will live
there, and form a mess. At present
we are boarding at different places.
There are twelve of us here boarding
at the Three Mill Hotel at $3.50 per
week.
We had a lively time unloading the
horses at the P. & R. depot, Friday
night. Forty horses have been ship-
ped here, and seventeen more are on
the way. They are from Texas.
There were over 1000 applicants, but
only 200 have been appointed. I guess
it will take two months before we are
fixed up and ready for duty.”
All goods purchased at our store for
Christmas presents that do not suit the
recipient, or do: not, fit, will be cheer-
fully exchanged at any time, at Cohen’s..
