Herr Von Frederick Diehl, with
whom the editor had some differences
of opinion during the late strike—dif-
ferences which caused Herr Von
Frederick to withdraw his name from
our subscription list—is once more a
subscriber of this great luminary.
“Fritz” says he just can’t hold spite at
a fellow man, and that’s where he shows
his good sense. Any man can get mad
and make a fool of himself, but it takes
a philosopher and a gentleman to get
over it quickly. We will say to
“Fritz’s” credit that when he quit the
paper he did not quit in its debt, like
some of the sore ones did. He is too
honest a man to quit a paper that way.
Nearly all the desirable subscribers
this paper lost during the strike have
since returned, and most of them have
admitted that the course THE Star
took during the strike was right, and
that they would be many dollars abead
if they had only taken its advice. We
have helped many of the strikers to get
work since the strike is over, but we
regret to say that some of them do not
seem to know it, and some seem to be
as destitute of gratitude as ever.
Now is the time to guard the health
and strength of the lungs. The best
remedy to use for coughs and colds is
Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar. The
only cough syrup that does not consti-
pate the bowels, but which onthe other
hand, expels all cold from the system
by acting as a pleasant laxative. Best

Some Salisbury Parents Have this
Woman’s Idea of Severity, and
Are Rearing Criminals.
Prof. Edward A. Ross, of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska—he was the origina-
tor of the phrase “race suicide”—was
talking the other day about the bring-
ing up of boys.
“Boys,” he said, “especially from 16
years on, shouid be brought up care-
fully—should be held strictly io ae-
count. When they go wrong it is too
often because they have not been prop-
erly managed.
“I remember a rich widow whose son
at 19 bade fair to become a confirmed
drunkard. At an age when he should
have been in bed by 10 o'clock at the
lateat he would be sitting nightly in
cafes, smoking cigarets and drinking
whisky.
“On toward midnight he would reel
off home.
“Well, a minister called on the widow
one day and told her that something
ought to be done in her son’s case.
“‘I’m sure I do all I can as it is,” she
said, plaintively. ‘I am worried nearly
sick.
“‘I fear you are not firm enough
with Jack, said the minister.
“‘On the contrary, 'the mother re-
plied. ‘I sometimes fear I am too harsh
with him.’
* ‘Why, what have you done?
“‘Well, I haven’t done anything, but
I’ve said a great deal.’
“ ‘What, for instance?’
“‘Why, I have said, ‘John! John!
John! and other severe things. ”—

LUCKIEST MAN IN ARKANSAS.

five years of continuous coughing and
bleeding from the lungs; and I owe my
good fortune to the world’s greatest
medicine, Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, which I know from
experience will cure consumption if
taken in time. My wife improved with

Nothing Very Strange About It.
And now a report comes from Grants-
ville that very small fish fell during a
recent rain at Accident. A great phe-
nomenon, but not so immensely satis-
factory as would be just one big drop
in the price of Garrett county turkeys.
—Frostburg Mining Journal,
The drop in Garrett county turkeys
would be very welcome to all who have
to buy their turkeys, but there is noth-
ing very strange about the small fish
incident. “Small fish” and “small po-
tatoes” abound in all communities, but
most of them are of the human species.
Whether they descended from the
heavens. we know not ; but we de know
that they will never ascend to the
heavens, and if they ever were there,
it is no wonder that they were dropped
to this mundane sphere, this “ghoul-
haunted woodland of Wier.”
FRIGHTFULLY BURNED.
Chas. W. Moore, a machinist, of Ford
City, Pa. had his hand frightfully
burned in an electrical furnace. He
applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve with
the usual result: “a quick and perfect
cure.” Greatest healer on earth for
Burns, Wounds, Sores, Eczema and
Piles. 25c. at E. H. Miller's, Druggist.

Lincoln’s Advice to Lawyers.
“Discourage litigation,” was his ad-
vice tolawyers. “Persuade your neigh-
bors to compromise whenever you can.
Point out to them how the nominal
winner is often the real loser—in fees,
expenses and waste of time. As a
peacemaker the lawyer has a superior
opportunity of becoming a good man.
There will always be. enough business.
Never stir up a litigation. A worse
man can scarcely be found than one
who does this. Who can be more
nearly a fiend than he who habitually
overhauls the register of deeds in
search of defects in titles, whereon to
stir up strife and put money in his
pocket? A moral tone ought to be in-
fused into the profession which should
drive such men out of it.”
It has been truly said that those
words should be posted in every law
office in the land, and it will be seen:
when Lincoln’s record is’ fully exam-
ined, that it was not ‘a mere theorist
who wrote them, but an active prac-
titioner of wide experience who lived
up to his own teaching. —Frederick
Trevor Hill in the Century.
