H. Mackley. Father Shoots Son. v Sunday afternoon Logan Shaulis, who with his wife lives with his father, Alex. Shaulis, near Pugh, came in to the of- fice of Dr. W. P. Shaw and hada number of shot picked out of his per- son which he claims he got from the business end of a shotgun in the hands of his father, during a family alterca- tion. Young Shaulis’ side of the story is to the effect that his parents got into a heated dispute at the dinner table, and during the excitement one of his sisters fainted. The young man says that while he was endeavoring to re- vive his sister, his father interfered, and this served to make matters worse, and the outcome of it was that the old man went for the gun and the son started on a run, but did not get out of range when he received a charge of fine shot, several of which struck him. A second load was fired, but did not reach him. Dr. Shaw extracted four or five shot which had gone under the skin, but the wounds were only slight. If young Shaulis had not been fleet of foot, the chances are that he would have suffered more seriously in the fracas.—Berlin Record. -— Aged Minister Greets Friends. Rev. J. Shoup, of Bittinger, Md., aged seventy-six, but as hearty as a man of forty. visited his former parishioners here Saturday, March 17. - Pastor Shoup is a veteran of the Civil War. After leaving the army he set- tled in Somerset county, and establish- ed a number of churches. One of them, at Markleton, in 1881, was in need of funds to save it from going under the Sheriff's hammer, and he heroically came to the rescue, cutting pulp wood a whole winter to raise the needed cash, which he did. In 1904 he walked from Cumberland, Md., to the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion at St. Louis. Besides enjoying the walk, he says the feat of pedestrianism completely cured him of a stubborn at- tack of rheumatism, which he contract- ed while working in the woods in his efforts to save the Markleton church. —Somerset Democrat. Enterprise for Friendsville. Our neighboring town of Friends- ville, this county, is about to secure a manufacturing enterprise in the nature of a nail and tack factory that will em- ploy a large number of men. Our in- formation is that an old and long standing firm of Pittsburg engaged in the manufacture c! wire nails and tacks are anxious to get a new location, and officials of the company have been at Friendsville, and have interested local capital in the movement of the plant to that point. We understand that about $3000 of the stock in now subscribed for, and as much more can be secured. It is understood that the waters of the “Yough” river at that point will be harnessed to furnish the motive power, and a free site has been donated for the factory.—Oakland Journal. A Happy Death.

If quiet and modest, you'll have it pre- sumed That your humble positton in only as- sumed. You're a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or else you're a fool ; But don’t get excited—keep perfectly cool— For people will talk. And then if you show the least bold- ness of heart, Or a slight inclination to aks your own part, They will call you an upstart, conceit- ed and vain, But keep straight ahead—don’t stop to explain— For people will talk. If threadbare your dress and old-fash- ioned your hat— Some ope will surely take notice of that, And hint rather strong that you aan’t pay your way’; But don’t get excited whatever they say— For people will talk. If your dress is in fashion, don’t think to escape, For they criticise then in a different shape— You’re ahead of your means, or your tailor’s unpaid ; But mind your own business, there’ s naught to be made— For people will talk. Now the best way to do is to do as you please, For your mind, if you have one, will then be at ease. Of course you will meet with all sorts of abuse; But don’t think to stop them—it’s not any use— For people will talk. —Washington Post. Not on Sale. A company which manufactures band instruments receives a large number of letters from green players, asking ad- vice as to their difficulties. Several months ago this company sold a cornet to a man in Canada. As might have been expected, after he had played it for some time without removing the valyes, the action became stiff. He wrote to the manufacturer, explaining the trouble, and asking whether he should grease the valves. In answer he was told that it was the usual cus- tom of cornet players, when this little difficulty occured, to remove the valves and put a little saliva upon them. To their astonishment the next week’s mail brought the following letter: “Gentlemen: Kindly send me twen- ty-five cents’ worth of saliva. I can’t get it in the stores here. Enclosed find’stamps in payment.”—Lippincott’s Magazine. Application of Delayed Justice. Mr. Sol Stern, the heavy-weight com- mercial navigator who pilots the des- tinies of a big Baltimore tobacco house. drifted in with the snowstorm, yester- day, none the worse for exposure tothe congealed zephyrs, and as interestingly reminiscent as of yore. On his last voyage, during a brief sojourn in Nor- folk. his attention was called to a most unique dispensation of justice as ap- portioned by a Norfolk magistrate. The remains of a drowned sailor that had been fished out of Norfolk harbor. and the magistrate was called to act as coroner. An examination of the ca- daver’s clothing revealed the presence of a twenty dollar bill and a loaded re- volver. Thereupon the Justice fined the corpse twenty dollars for earrying concealed weapons, and directed that the remains, which were unidentified. be consigned to the Potter’s field. — Cumberland News.
