Tide. Be kind to thy mother, for,lo! on her brow May traces of sorrow be seen; Oh, well may’st thou cherish and com- fort her now, For loving and kind hath she been. Remember thy mother, for thee will she pray As long as God giveth her breath; With accents of kindness then cheer her lone way, E’en to the dark valley of death. Advertising our afflictions only in- creases their circulation. Never try to be more than you are, for sooner or later counterfeits are de- tected. The world’s greatest men grew up- ward from the lower classes, while the world’s meanest men grew downward from the upper class. The man and woman who try to make their home the most interesting spot on earth for each other, and for their friends and those who are near and dear to them, have but occasional use for the club. The club is to them, like the theatre, a pleasant place to enter now and then, but not a spot to dwell in. The world is full of women who can amuse the ordinary man. Can sing, dance or recite for him; can paint, write or decorate in a manner most pleasing, but the poor man often goes begging for a woman who can sew on buttons or mend his clothes; who can cook his food with economy, and flavor it to his taste. Many of us miss the joys that might be ours by keeping our eyes fixed on those of other people. No one can en- joy his own opportunities for happiness while he is envious of another's. We lose a great deal of the joy of living by not cheerfully accepting the small pleasures that come to us every day, instead of longing and wishing for what belongs to others. We do not take any pleasure in our own modest horse and carriage, because we long for the automobile or victoria that some- one else owns. The edge is taken off the enjoyment of our own littla home because we are watching the palatial residence of our neighbor. We can get no satisfaction out of a trolley ride into the country or a sail on ariver steamer, because someone else can enjoy the luxury of his own carriage or yacht. Life has its full measure of happiness for every one of us, if we only make up our minds to make the very most of every opportunity that comes our way. instead of longing for the things that come our neighbor’s way. THE GLADNESS ON NATURE. It ir our opinion that the new year ought to begin with spring. That sweet, fresh, budding season, when the spirit of newness is just awaking from its long sleep, and begins with magic power its work of revival, breathing new life and energy into every vein of nature, and thrilling the heart of man- kind with new joys, new hopes, new aspirations. The soul that can remain insensible to the charm of spring is in- deed dull and heavy, even unnatural. Hawthorne says. “From such a soul the world must hope no reformation of ite evil, no sympathy with the lofty faith and gallant struggles of these who contend in his behalf.” How joyously the birds are singing this morning, and why should they not, for the blight and decay of winter is passing away, and ere long the earth will be arrayed in the full bloom and glory of spring time. Soon the air, so soft and balmy, will bear the fragrance of delicate blossoms, and the drowsy bees will murmur of new-born delights. Bryant says in his poem on “The ladness of Nature :” “Is this a time to be cloudy and sad, When our Mother Nature laughs aroun Wie) even the deep blue heavens look ad And BR ining breathes from the blos- soming ground?” Surely our hearts should respond to the gladness of nature, and we should not only be glad, but we should feel deeply thankful for all these blessings. IS THE MOON INHABITED? Science has proven that the moon has an atmosphere, which makes life in some form possible on that satellite; but not for human beings, who have a hard enough time on this earth of ours; especially those who don’t know that Electric Bitters cure Headache, Bil- iousness, Malaria, Chills and Fever, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Dizziness, Torpid Liver, Kidney complaints, General De- bility and Female weaknesses.

If there i= any notion that the hens of this country have not been doing their full duty during the last year we have some proof to set up against the notion. Mr. Francis J. Maust, one of the well- to-do farmers of Lincoln township, was in the Standard office on Monday, and in the course of a conversation gave the writer the information that he had ninety brown leghorn hens, and that during the year beginning February 1, 1905. they laid over eleven hundred dozen eggs. Mr. Maust eays he has four good cows, but his ninety hens were much more profitable to him than the cows. Mr. Maust’s brother Daniel, who lives a short distance north of Somer- set, is in the poultry business also in a modest way. He has forty hens, and during the month of March, just closed, they laid 1,462 eggs. If there is any one in the county who has hens to beat these as layers, these gentlemen prob- ably would like to hear from them.— Somerset Standard. HUMAN BLOOD MARKS. A tale of horror was told by marke of human blood in the home of J. W. Wil- liams, a well known merchant of Bae, Ky. He writes: “Twenty years ago I had severe hemorrhages of the lungs, and wasinear death when I began tak- ing Dr, King’s New Discovery. Itcom- pletely cured me and I have remained well ever since.” It cures Hemor- rhages, Chronic Coughs, Settled Colds and Bronchitis, and is the only known cure for Weak Lungs.

He is trav- eling all over the world on a wager and has fifteen years to complete the task, thirteen of which have expired. He is a typical tramp and carries with him three satchels from which he takes alleged souvenirs of important events and men. He exhibited a pipe said to belong to Paul Kruger, a collar belong- ing to ex-Speaker Tom Reed, a pair of shoes that belong to ex-President Cleveland, a railroader’s lantern that had figured in a big wreck, and many alleged trophies from kings and rulers of foreign lands. When he completed the exhibit he parsed around the bat and then en- deavored to get a drink, but found Conrellsville with the lid on on Sun- day. Leaving Connellsville he said that he was enroute to Greensburg, from which point he starts to Central America.—Connellsville Courier. Marriage Licenses. George P.

Two young women sat together in a Euclid car. “How many children have you?” asked one. “Twenty-two was the reply. many have you?” “Thirty-one,” replied the other. This attracted ¢ the attention of a motherly looking woman seated near the stove. “Did I understand you to say that one of you had twenty-two children and you thirty-one?” she said. “Why, you don’t look to be more than twenty-five years old apiece.” “We're school teachers,” said one of the young women.—Cleveland Leader. He Knew She’d See it. Teachers, no less than parents, often receive curious answers from children. The following story is told of a lad in a geography class, who was deeply inter- ested in learning the points of the com- pass. Said the teacher, “You have in front of you the north, on your right the east, and on your left the west. What have you behind you?” After a few minutes reflection Charlie exclaimed, “A patch on my trousers.” And, to make the informa- tion more binding, he continued, in a shamefaced manner, “I knew you’d see it ; I told mother you would.”—Ex. “How OLD PAPERS for sale at TEE STAR office. ‘They are just the thing for pantry shelves, wrapping paper snd cartridge paper for the miners.

EpiToR STAR: —We are at last living in our barracks. We received orders to report here on Monday, April 2nd. During the past two months we have ; S been assisting in getting the stables and barracks ready. Our barracks is a brick mansion consisting of cellar with two heating furnaces, also two ‘cool rooms with a spring running through, and other rooms as follows. First floor: Recreation room 30x16 feet; two dining rooms with sliding doors, making it the same size as the recreation room ; three side rooms for kitchen utensils; store room, larder, etc. Second floor: Captain's office; four bed rooms 15x15 feet, with six cots in each room ; one bath room and one store room. Third floor: Five bed rooms with six cots in each room; and bath room. There is a garrett above, and four acres of ground belong to the house. There is a fine orchard with several kinds of fruit trees, and the fruit will come very handy for the mess. The married men enjoy the privilege of living away from the barracks. Com- mencing this date, our duties will be as follows: At 5.55 a. m., firsteall; 6.15 a. m., reville and assembly (roll call); 6.20 a. m., stables; 7.00 a. m., mess; 7.30 a. m., fatigue; 8.00 a. m., water call; 8.45 a. m., boots and saddles; 9.00 a. m., mounted drill; 11.00 a. m., recall; 11.00 30 a. m., water and feed ; 12.00 m., noon mass ; 3.30 p. m., mounted drill; 5.00 p. m., recall; 6.00 p. m, water and feed; 6.30 p. m., mess; 9.30 p. m., roll call. We can be excused from the 9.30 roll call by speaking to the First Ser- geant, and stating our reasons. We are fully equipped and prepared for duty, and are expecting to be called up the country, any day, to the coal fields. I presume you saw in some of the papers that the Reading troop was called to the Cornwall iron ore mines, in Lebanon county, a few weeks ago. We went on foot. It was a very tame strike. The owners treated us splen- didly—had cots for us to sleep on, and provided us with provisions while we were there. The whole troop remained there two days, after which the Cap- tain detailed the Lieutenant, two Ser- geants and ten men to remain for a few days, in case there should any more trouble arise. I think when the State troop arrived with their 30-inch clubs, and revolvers swinging on their belts outside their uniforms, that it must have scared the strikers, because on the second day every man tried to get back to work. But you know, of course, how it worke. Some of the leaders were told that they were not wanted, as the owners had shipped about fifty men there pre- viously. There were about 300 men employed there, and they were mostly all foreign- ers. Our fellows made five arrests for disorderly conduct, ete. One of the arrested men had a loaded revolver taken from him. . : I was one of the number detailed to remain at the Cornwall ore mines, and we remained three days after the others left, hud did not see any trouble whatever. We are now located about one and a half miles from the city of Reading. Yours truly, Mark A. PRYNN. An Easter Picture of Highest Merit. An Easter picture that fits the oe- casion is one of the timely features provided for the delectation of buyers a” the Sunday North American for April 15. Nearly all of the articles and pictures in the paper for Easter Sun- dav breathe the Easter spirit, but the one that will appeal most strongly is a handsome lithogravure of a little girl surrounded by rabbits—the child’s Easter animal. To give to the artist a full and per- fect expression of his work, the print- ers have done the picture in ten print- ings, getting into the composition every shading of color that can be produced by mechanical means. The result is a delicate. finished reproduction, even more attractive than the wonderfully faithful original. The Gibson picture series will be continued on Sunday, April 22. The circulation of the Sunday North American has increased over 30,000 copies in the last sixty days. Next Sunday will be larger than ever.
