The Kind of Subscribers We Are
Proud of.
We are proud of most of our sub-
scribers, but like all other publishers,
we have the good, the bad and the in-
different. We are especially proud,
however, of subscribers like Prof. E. J.
Egan, who started out to make his
mark in the world with nothing but a
good name and lots of determination
to succeed.
Only a few years ago Mr. Egan was
toiling among the farmers of Elk Lick
township for such meager wages as a
crippled boy could command, but we
are glad to note that today he is a
prominent and honored man in educa-
tional circles. He is now one of the
instructors in the Maryland Collegiate
Institute, a eell-known and excellent
institution located at Union Bridge,
Carroll county, Md. where he has
charge of the Book-Keeping, Banking
and Arithmetic -department. He is a
very bright man, and his success is due
to study and proper self-application.
He studied hard while many young
men far more favorably situated were
idling away their time, smoking stink-
ing cigarettes, reading Socialist litera-
ture, etc., and making themselves be-
lieve that the whole world was tramp-
ing on them.
Following is a letter recently receiv-
ed from Prof. Egan, and it is the kind
of a letter that never fails to make an
editor feel that life is worth living:
UxioN BRIDGE, Mbp., Apr. 19, 1906.
Mz. STAR MAN,
Elk Lick, Pa.
Dear Sir:—Why didn’t I receive one?
I noticed in THE STAR that you sent
out a number of statements, request-
ing remittance on subscriptions. I did
not receive one, and therefore feel
either honored or slighted, I do not
know which, and will not lose much
time trying to find out, but enclose a
check for $2.00, believing that you will
know the rest, and continue to send
me “The Great Luminary.” The longer
I read it the more I enjoy it.
I am enjoying pleasant and profitable
work. Wishing you continued success
and prosperity, I am respectfully yours,
E. J. Egan.
BIG COAL DEVELOPMENT.
The Penn-Garrett Coal Company
Own 9,000 Acres in Garrett and
Allegany Counties, Md.
At the recent session of the Mary-
land Legislature, a bill introduced by
Senator Brown, of Garrett county, was
passed, incorporating the Penn-Garrett
Coal Mining Company, of Garrett
county, Md. The incorporators named
in the bill are Robert O. MeCandlish,
Clarence B, Guard, Walter W. Savage,
Charles A. Mitchell and David 8. Cus-
ter, all well known residents of Garrett
county, who represent a number of
Philadelphia capitalists. The Phila-
delphia parties are the owners of tracts
of land underlaid with coal, aggregat-
ing about 9,000 acres, in the .vicinity of
Friendsville, Garrett county, and the
purpose of incorporating the above
company is to take over the above coal
properties and operate the same. Un-
der the general incorporation laws of
the state, a coal company cannot incor-
porate for the purpose of owning and
operating more than one thousand
acres of coal lends in Allegany county,
nor more than five hundred acres in
Garrett county, hence the necessity of
securing a special act of the legislature
in order to enable these parties to op-
erate their extensive holdings as an
incorporation. The company is also
empowered to manufacture and deal in
coke, and to build and own railroads
for the purpose of conducting its busi-
ness. The company is prohibited, how-
ever, from conducting what is known
as “company stores,” and it has no
power to authorize any of its officers or
agents to do so.
The authorized capital stock of the
company is $100,000.00 divided into
1,000 shares of $100 each, and is given
the power to increase its capital stock
from time to time to $500,000, upon the
vote of two-thirds of all the stock there-
tofore issued. The company has not
as yet organized, the above gentlemen
having at present full power and au-
thority to execute all the corporate
powers of the company. The act pro-
vides that the affairs of the company
shall be controlled by a board of not
less than seven, not more than eleven
directors. The charter of the company
is made perpetual, and its principal
office will be located at Friendsville.
The company is prohibited from hold-
ing or possessing more than ten thou-
sand acres of land in this state.
DeWarren H. Reynolds, attorney for
the company, and who prepared the
act of incorporation, was seen last
night by a Daily News representative,
and he stated that the company would
organize in the near future and imme-
diately thereafter commence active
operations by installing an extensive
mining plant, and building such trans-
portation lines as were necessary. He
stated that the men back of the com-
pany were wealthy and substantial
men of Philadelphia, who intended to
make their company a factor in the
coal trade of Western Maryland. —

What Business Men Demand of
Boys.
Boys need, most of all, to be taught
how to observe and study, to study
things themselves, rather than the
names of things; to acquire correct
habits of thought, to investigate and
discover for themselves what they wish
to know. To this end it seems to me
our schools are doing excellent work
But in what, if any, respects do they
fail to meet the demands of business
men? In conversation with several
men of large experience in my office,
and as I have met them in bank, count-
ing room, at lunch; and elsewhere I
have put the question: “In your ex-
perience as a business man, what sort
of school training does a boy need?”
The question applies, of course, only
to boys untrammeled by requirements
for admission to college. All were
agreed that the boys should leave
school with a more thorough training in
the rudiments of education, particular-
ly in what used to be known as mental
arithmetic.
If I may generalize, let me say, to
sum up, that business men ask:
That our schools give boys a more
practical training; that they guard
against mental indigestion as we
would against physical indigestion.
That such training be more thorough,
particularly in arithmetic and accounts.
That more attention be given to
English composition, spelling and pene
manship.
That the school (and perhaps the
home) teach the gospel of Work, Work !
This lesson well learned will surely
win promotion, give character, study-
ing quality, persistence, stick-to-it-
iveness and, coupled with thrift, will
enable any bright boy to grapple with
the problems of life and climb am-
bition’s ladder.—New England Grocer.
BIRD BOXES.
An Increase of Birds Means a De-
erease of Insect Pests.
The time is at hand when boxes
should be built and put in place for
nests for birds. Birds do not require
expensive nor beautifully finished
structures for their nesting places, but
rough houses, such as hollow logs cut
across and boarded at the ends with a
hole in one of the boards will serve the
purpose very well. It is said that if
boxes or houses for birds are arranged
to swing upon string or wire that
Wrens and Bluebirds will use them,
while the suspicious English Sparrow
will avoid them.
In the construction of a bird house,
it is important to bear in mind that
birds enter their nests from the top,
and not from the bottom as human bi-
peds do in entering their abodes.
Therefore the holes in bird boxes
should be at the top, or at least some
distance above the bottom, or at the
middle.
There should be but one opening in
each box and the size of this hole must
be in accordance with the size or kind
of bird to use it. The Wren isthe only
bird smaller than the English Sparrow,
in this state, which nests in bird boxes
or houses, and which will enter a hole
so small as to keep out the Sparrows.
For the cheery little Wrens the hole
need not be larger than one inch in di-
ameter, while the smallest hole through
which the Sparrow crowds is one and
one-fourth inches. For Bluebirds it
must be one and three-fourths inches
in diameter, and through this the Spar-
rows pass readily. The way to prevent
English Sparrows using boxes designed
for Bluebirds is to shoot at the Spar-
rows, stone them or otherwise frighten
them away about nesting time. They
become suspicious and are easily driven
away temporarily. After the Blue-
birds once really gain possession and
decide to make their home in the box
or house placed for them, they will
fight successfully to protect their
chosen site.
Martins also nest in boxes, and need
an entrance of at least two inches in
diameter and an inside box of five or
more inches in each dimension.
The situation for boxes depends upon
the kind of bird for which it is intend-
ed. For the Wrens it need be but only
a few feet above the ground, as against
a porch post, or in the low fork of a
tree. For Bluebirds it should be at
least eight feet above the ground, as
under the eave of a roof,or in a rather
open tree, or upon a post from eight to
fifteen feet high. For the Martins the
box should be on a post, in a rather
open place, where they will have free
opportunity for flying, and it should be
from twenty to twenty-five feet or
more above the ground. Since the
Martins are sociable birds and nest and
live in colonies, it is well to have at
least four rooms or nesting places for
each box or house.
Sections of logs containing abandon-
ed Woodpeckers’ holes make good
places for the nests of certain kinds of
birds. Among these are not only the
downy Woodpecker and sometimes the
Wrens, but also the Chickadees and
Nuthatches. In those regions where
these birds nest it is advisable to put
up boxes and also clean out holes in
the limbs and trunks of old apple trees
for them and such other very beneficial
birds as the little Owls and Bluebirds,
and other kinds that nest in such
places. It is also well to legve a few
dead posts or branches in the grove or
orchard to afford nesting sites for the
Woodpeckers and Flickers, which are
among our most beneficial birds.
“THAT TIRED FEELING.”
Don,t want to work, or nothin’,
Don’t want to read or walk;
Don’t want to drink, don’t want to
think—
Don’t even want to talk.
Don’t want to go to dinner,
Don’t want to go to bed ;
Can’t seem to rest—this weather’s jest
Natur’ly gone to my head.
You can hardly call it lazy—
You can’t rightly name it sick;
But, good land’s sake! how my bones
do ache,
Whenever I work a lick!
It’s just too blame much bother
To do anything but lie
On the flat o’ yer back and look through
a crack
In the trees at that warm, blue sky!
I know I'd orter make garden,
I know I'd orter rake
The trash that lays in the yard an’
Be helpin’ my wife to make
Soft soap. But I jest can’t do it—
I ain’t in the right condition;
But if some one ud dig some bait, an
rig
My tackil I'd go a fishin’!
—Cleveland Leader.
