Answer: As your mother’s mother is to my elder brother’s cousin’s son-in-law, so is ‘my mother’s sister’s aunt to your great- grandfather's uncle’s nephew. Divide your mother’s mother by my elder brother’s first cousin’s son-in-law, and multiply my mother’s sister’s aunt by your great-grandfather’s uncle’s nephew, and either add or subtract— we forget which—and you will have the answer—in the spring. hand.

I have careful records of about five hundred deathbeds, stud- ies particularly with reference to modes of death and the sensations of dying. Ninety suffered bodily pain and dis- tress of some sort or other, eleven showed mental apprehension, two posi- tive terror, one bitter remorse. The great majority gave no sign one way or the other ; like their birth, their death was a sleep and a forgetting. The preacher was right in this matter, man hath no pre-eminence over the beast— as one dieth, so dieth the other—Dr. Osler’s New Book. Owing to the fact that our local farm- ers have been asking extortionate prices for potatoes, one of our local merchants had to order a carload of that staple diet from Michigan. If any of our home farmers inspect the Mich- igan potatoes, they can see how pota- toes should be sorted for market. They are all nice, sound potatoes of good size, the kind that dealers like to sell, and the kind that their customers like to buy. We like to see our home farm- ers prosper and get fair prices, but no dealer should pay them extortionate prices, and for poor produce they should receive only poor prices. We want a square deal all around. Once upon a time a man married a woman who had inherited $500 from a grandfather. This is all she ever re- ceived, but the n never got credit for his efforts a of his life. He built 2 new stdre. “Did it with his wife’s money,” the neighbors said. The home was made over and enlarged. ¢ His wife’s money did it,” was the only comment. The little measly $500 she inherited was given the credit for everything he did during life, and when he died and his widow put up a monu- ment with his life insurance, “Her money paid for that,” was said again. But this is what her money really went for: During her engagement she bought herself a $350 piano and a $150 dinmond ring, and in afew weeks lost the ring. and there was some regret that she didn’t lose the piano.—Ex. This story has a moral, and, unlike some other stories with a moral, it is true: A young woman of the city bad two beaus. One of them was a quiet unassuming fellow, who had a good position in the Cambria Steel Works, was constantly working his way up- ward, and was saving his money, though The other was a dashing fellow, who owned a horse and buggy, made quite a splurge, and left a decid- ed impression on the girl’s mind. The girl decided to marry the fellow who owned the horse and buggy, and, when the mill man found he was getting left and was naturally a little grumpy, she thought often of how she would hold her nose in the air as she and her hus- band drove past him after marriage. But the fellow she accepted had to seli his horse and buggy the last thing be- fore the wedding in order to get the cash to make a final showing, and both he and his wife have walked ever since. —Johnstown Tribune.

CASPER WAHL, The Old Reliable Buteher. A Pleasant Social Affair. Last Sunday a very pleasant social affair was participated in at the hos- pitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Beachy, who reside about one-fourth of a mile south of Salisbury. The hap- py event was in honor of their daugh- ter Carrie and family, who are here from Kansas on a visit. Some of the Mausts, Fikes, Beachys and others were present, a sumptuous dinner was served, and all had an enjoyable time. About the only thing to detract from the pleasure of the occasion was the absence of Mr. Beachy, who recently went to Tennessee to consult an eye- specialist. Daughter Carrie and hus- | band (Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lichty) will | start for their home in “sunny” Kansas, | with their little daughter, as soon as | Father Beachy returns from Tennessee, | two. eer John W. Coleman Dead. John W. Coleman, a well-known citizen of Salisbury, died at an early hour yesterday morning, aged 54 years, 11 months and 16 days. He was strick- en with paralysis about ten years gos | while he resided in Nebraska, and as a | result was badly crippled from that | time forward until relieved by death. He was stricken no less than three or | four times by the same disease, each | stroke leaving him weaker and more | helpless than before. Mr. Coleman was twice married. | His first wife was Isabella Wagner, | daughter of the late Henry Wagner, | who died about fifteen years ago. About teu years ago he was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary J. Green, of Nebraska, who servives him. He is also survived by two sons and two daughters, all children of the first wife. The funeral took place at 2 p. m. to- day, Rev. H. 8. May officiating. 3 MAY LIVE 100 YEARS.

Several of our county exchanges stated last week that the Superior Court had handed down an opinion in the Loechel license case sustaining his bond, which was a Baltimore surety company. This is an error. The Court did not pass upon the disputed ques- tion, but under an agreement of coun- sel, the case was governed by the other Somerset county liquor cases which were decided by the Supreme court.— Somerset Standard. As Mr. Loechel’s license was granted, last week, his bond was evidently con- sidered a lawful one, which is virtually a decision to that effect. It is not | likely, however, that Mr. Loechel will | lift his 1905 license, as he would have | to pay the full fee for a year, and at | the same time do business on that license only until April 1st, 1908. SERRE Pen a hen Samuel A. Beachy Heard From. Our friend Samuel A. Beachy, who on the 18th inst., went to Bristol, a town ying partly in Virginia and partly in Tennessee, where he is taking treat- ment for a defective eye, writes to Tue Star under date of the 22nd inst., stat- ing that he had another operation per- formed, and that his eye is improving. Mr. Beachy states that his train was | delayed over an hour on account of a | wreck in which ten persons were re- | ported to have lost their lives. How- | ever, he arrived in Bristol only 40 min- | utes late, and he writes that he enjoys | the fine corn pone, corn bread, biscuits, | buns, beefsteak, porksteak and venison of old Virginia. | He further says that Bristol also has a large assortment of drinks, both mild and otherwise, but says he sees no visible effect of the intoxicants upon the inhabitants, and he thinks they are | either more expert in than use than many of our home people, or else have the kind of good old stuff that used to be on tap here in the good old days of yore. We hope Mr. Beachy will soon be able to return with two good eyes in- stead of one. THE BLANKS WE KEEP.

Fifty years ago, when Johnnie was bad at school, the teacher took down a dog- wood sprout, made two dozen marks around his bare legs, and Johnnie never repeated the offense. Fifty years ago Johnnie got up at daylight, started the fires, fed the horses, milked a dozen long-horned cows that gave barely enough milk to go in the coffee, chop- ped and brought in wood enough to last mother all day, ate breakfast and walked five miles to school. To-day Johnnie does not get up at all, unless he is forced to do so, eats little or no breakfast, goes out behind the barn to smoke a cigarette, and if the school house is over three blocks away, grunts about the distance he has to walk. The Johnnie of fifty years agois a hale, hearty man. Fifty years from now the Johnnie of today will be dead and bur- ied. Isn’t this a true tale of Johnnie? —Ex. ‘Gold Brick’ for Grocers. From the Grocery World we learn that a salesman is approaching the re- tail grocers with a Castoria proposi- tion that they will do well to turn down flatly. The salesman claims to represent a concern called the *“Mor- rell Chem. Co., of New York City and Durand, Mich., whom the mercantile agencies do not list at either point. The scheme is represented thus: The sale of the goods is supposed to be taken out of the hands of the druggists, a great proposition is given the grocer, and he is asked to pay in advance for the goods, which are delivered to him with a guarantee that every bottle gives satisfaction. The Grocery World thinks the goods are bogus, and mer- chants will do well {to let the goods alone. i LS | 3 ai In Ale
