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?

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;

Ninety Leghorns Produce over
Eleven Hundred Dozen Eggs in
a Year.
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.—

HUMAN BLOOD MARKS.
A tale of horror was told by marke of

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. Every bottle

Tramping “voting the Worl\ on a
Wager.
“Herrold,” the boy tramp, passed
through Connellsville on Sunday af-
ternoon about 4 o'clock. 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.

They Had Many Children.
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.

THE STATE POLICE.
Mark A. Prynn Gives Out Inferma-
tion of Interest Concerning
New Body of Officers.
State Porricg, Troor C.,
Reaping, Pa., April 3, 19086.
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. See
your news dealer and place your order

W hy MecClure’s?
——McClure’s Magazine is bought and read in homes not because it is a magazine, but
because it is the magazine. Why?
FIRST—THEEPRICE. It costs but one dollar a year, or less than ten cents a num-
ber. for over thirteen hundred two-column pages of reading matter.
This amounts in ac-
tualbulk to twenty or twenty-five books costinganywhere from a dollar to two dollars a
volume.
SECOND—QUALITY.
The reading matter is written by America’sjleading writers
—the best short story writers, the best writers on timely articles, the best writers of im-
portant serials, such as Schurz’s Reminiscences of Baker’s Railroad articles.
THIRD—TIMELINESS. The reading matter in McClure’s is not only good; it is
not only entertaining, amusing, instructive and inspiring—it is also about the subjects in
which you and all Americans are most interested at the time.
No subjects in the next
twelve months are going to be so important as the question of railroad rates and rebates
and the question of life insurance.
Both of these questions will be discussed by authori-
ties inan impartial, careful, interesting way.
FOURTH—ITS CHARACTER. McClure’s Magazine is not edited for children, but
at the same time, there is never a line in it that any young girl might not read. Its ad-
vertising pages are as clean as its editorial pages.
