No one would buy a sailboat with
sails that could not be reefed. There
is always that possibility of a little too

afraid to go unprovided. The thinking

by keeping a bottle of Kodol For Dys-
pepsia within reach. Kodod digests
what you eat and restores the stomach.

critical.
Two young sons of Station Agent
Riley met with an accident last week
that might have cost them their lives.
They were sitting in a pasture field in
which the family horse was grazing,
when all of a sudden the animal came
running by them, and as it passed
kicked viciously with both feet, strik-
ing the heads of both of the boys. They
were considerably hurt and stunned,
but we are glad to note that their in-
juries are not of a serious nature.

nant case of diphtheria. She was im-

morning. Two other members of the
Rush family are now reported to be
dangerously ill with the same dread
disease.

Two were sent to Lawrence county and

doubtedly makes the best and hand-
somest traction engine in the world,
and so far every prospective buyer who
has called at the factory and has seen
how the engines are made, what they
can do. ete., promptly made a purchase.

A sensational damage suit has been
filed in Somerset. Staske Stopinskihas
filed papers, through his attorneys,
Berkey & Shaver, to recover $20,000
from Drs. Robert J. Heffley and Henry
Garey, two well known practitioners of
Berlin, on account of alleged neglect-
ful treatment of his wife, which neg-
lect is said to have been the cause of
her death. The case is of a rather sen-
sational nature, and as both the de-
fendants stand high in their profession,
the filing of the suit created a great
deal of comment.
Our old friend Dr. A. Enfield, of Bed-
ford Pa., recently took a religious turn
of mind and sent us his check for $5.00,
to apply on subscription to the “Twink-
ler” His letter is full of kindly ex-
pressions, and he invites us to come
over and take a fast ride in his new
automobile. The genial doctor has our
thanks, and we assure him we shall
never forget the fast ride he once gave
us behind his splendid team of fast
horses, when the sleighing was at its
best between Bedford and Bedford
Springs. The sleigh only hit the ground
once in a while, and the current of air
rushing back to fill the vacuum made
it impossible to keep our chew of to-
bacco from being blown out.

other things the card contains the fol-
lowing: “Should THE StAr’s air ship

We are all bunking under cne roof at

to the place from whence he came.
The reasons why his store did not pay
here are very apparent to all observing
people. First, he had a very poor lo-
cation. Second, he did pot spend a
penny for advertising or printing while
here, hence our people were practically
unacquainted with him. Like a hermit
he seemed te prefer seclusion, and the
public usually make no effort to get
acquainted with business men who do
not seek publicity and bid for trade.
Mr. Long is said to be a very nice old
man, but no man can go into a strange
community and hope to succeed in
business by hidir z his candle under a
bushel. Some nien can do a fair busi-
ness without advertising, when they
have been long and favorably known in
a place, and even they can do a far
greater business by intelligent and
persistent advertising. It pays no bus-
iness man to be an old fogy or a moss-
back in these days of energy and hus-
tle.

Mrs. Frederigk Otto Dead.
The wife of Frederick Otto, of New |
Germany, Garrett county, Md., died
last Sunday evening, after a very pain-
ful illness of several weeks duration.
She is servived by her husband and a
babe aged about three weeks.
Deceased was the youngest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Boyer, and was
born and reared in this town. She was
about 37 years old. Her remains were
interred in the Salisbury I. O. O. F.
cemetery, and the funeral service was
held in St. John’s Reformed church,
conducted by Rev. H. S. May, Tuesday
afternoon, the 7th inst.
Dr. Shaw Files His Answer.
Dr. W. P. Shaw has filed his pleadings
and an answer in the suit brought
against him by Robert D. Walker, of
Summit township, in which he claims
ten thousand dollars damages on ac-
count of a surgical operation performed
on him by Dr. Shaw, the plaintiff al-
leging that the Doctor cut into the
wrong shoulder, thereby doing irrepar-
able damage to him.
Through his attorneys, Messrs. Hay
& Hay, says the Standard, Dr. Shaw
enters a plea of not guilty and a gen-
oral denial of the allegations set forth
by the plaintiff. He alleges that the
plaintiff himself was grossly negligent
in that he placed himself on the operat-
ing table, ready to have the anoesthetic
administered, with the wrong shoulder
up, thereby misleading the defendant,
who was about to perform the opera-
tion.
The defendant denies that he lacerat-
ed the muscle and other parts of the
shoulder, but that after he ascertained
that the wrong shoulder was being op-
erated upon, he removed a small piece
of muscle which had been cut. in order
that it might the more readily heal
without sloughing.
The defendant denies that the plain- |
tiff had warned him not to cut into the
wrong shoulder, just before the opera-
tion was performed, and contends that
he was led to believe that the left, or
exposed shoulder, was the one to be
| operated upon.
The defendant avers that Mr. Walker
has not suffered great pain; and has
not been greatly injured in his person,
and has not lost the use of his left arm,
or his shoulder or the proper use of the
bead and neck, and that the injury
done was only temporary, and was not
severe. Dr. Shaw alleges that the
plaintiff is strong and able to perform
manual labor as well now as he was be-
fore the alleged injury, and that he is
not entitled to Jarisges to any extent
whatever.

Big Chestnut Crop.
From present indications Garrett
county will have an enormous chestnut
crop, this season, unless the blast
strikes them within the next thirty
days. The bloom is heavier than we
have had for many years, and at this
season they are beautiful. The crop in
this county means many dollars to our
farmers and merchants, as they com-
mand good prices and ready cash in all
the city markets.—Oakland Journal.
Somerset County Has too Many So-
~ called Hotels Like This.
The landlord in the north of the
county who refused to furnish a meal
to a party of ten or fifteen persons who
were delayed on account of a wreck,
and forced to go hungry for hours, has
furnished some evidence that a hotel is
a necessity at that point. But the hun-
gry travelers assert that a place where
persons could get meals would be more
beneficial to the traveling public than
a saloon.—Somerset Standard.
Failure.
“Very frequently,” says a New York
lawyer, “there is an element of uncon-
scious humor in the finding of a jury.
To my mind, the best I ever heard in
this connection was the verdict brought
in by a coroner’s jury in Michigan, who
were called upon to pass upon the case
of the sudden death of a merchant in
Lansing.
“The finding was as follows: “We,
the jury, find from the physician’s
statement that the deceased came to
his death from heart failure, superin-
duced by business failure, which was
caused by speculation failure, which
was the result of failure to see far
enough ahead,’ ”
