Sometimes one has more flowers
piled orf his coffin and grave than he
ever had given to him in all his life.
We want our flowers while we are liv-
ing. The dead are past all that. If we
would do good, let us do it while we
are alive to those who are living.
A crust of bread, a pitcher of water,
a log cabin and perfect love—there is
happiness for you, whether the day be
rainy ur sunny. It is the heart that
makes the home, whether the eye rests
on a potato patch or flower garden.
The heart makes home precious, and it
is the only thing that can. Home is
where the heart is.
_ The bitterest tears shed over graves
are for words left unsaid and for deeds
left undone. “She never knew that 1
loved her.” “He never knew what he
was to me.” “I always meant to make
more of our friendship.” “I did not
know what he was to me until he was
gone” Such words are the poisoned
arrows which cruel death shoots from
the door of the sepulchre.
The lady who laughs heartily is a
doetor without a diploma. Her face
does more good in a sick room than a
bushel of powders or a gallon of bitter
draughts. People are always glad to
seg her. Their hands instinctively go
half way out to meet her grasp, while
they turn involuntarily from the dampy
touch of the dyspeptic, who speaks in
the groaning key. She laughs you out
of your faults, while you never dream
of being offended with her; and you
never know what a pleasant world you
live in until she points out the sunny
streaks on her pathway.
The gentle grace of the mother lives
in the daughter long after her head is
pillowed in the dust of death; and the.
fatherly kindness finds its echo in the
nobility and courtesy of sons, who
come to wear his mantle and to fill his
places, while on the other hand, from
an unhappy, misgoverned and disor-
dered home, go forth persons who shall
make other homes miserable, and per-
petuate the sourness and sadness, the
contentious, strifes, and railings which
have made their own early lives so
wretched and distorted.
HINTS FOR WIVES.
Perchance you think that your hus-
band’s disposition is much changed ;
that he is no longer the sweet-temper-
ed, ardent lover he used to be. This
may be a mistake. Consider his strug-
gles with the world—his everlasting
race with the busy competition of trade.
What is it that makes him so eager in
the pursuit of gain—so energetic by
day, so sleepless by night—but his love
of home, wife and children, and a dread
that their respectability, according to
the light in which he has conceived it,
may be encroached upon by the strife
of existence? This is the truesecret of
that silent care which preys upon the
hearts of many men ; and true it is, that
when love is least apparent, it isnever-
theless the active principle which ani-
mates the heart, though fears and dis-
appointments make up a cloud which
obscures the warmer element. As
above the clouds there is a glorious
sunshine while below are showers and
gloom, so with the conduct of man—be-
hind the gloom of anxiety there is a
bright fountain of high and noble feel-
ing. Think of this in those moments
when clouds seem to lower upon your
domestic peace, and by tempering your
conduct accordingly, the gloom will
soon pass away and warmth and bright-
ness take its place.

HOME, SWEET HOME.
Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest;
Homekeeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not
where,
Are full of trouble and full of care.
To stay at home is best.
Home—the name made dear by
sacred associations, the place where
childish feet take their first faltering
steps and infant minds receive their
first ideas. There lessons of love and
truth, of right and wrong, of faith and
hope and purity are imprinted upon
the plastic heart, and all the sorrows
and perplexities of after life are in-
efficient to quite efface these first de¢p
true impressions. Sweet home, whers
the mother’s gentle hands prepare the
little domestic comforts that a father’s
love provides, and filial affection is
“the silver link, the silken tie” that
binds the household band together.
Trials may come and clouds may lower,
but in the seclusion of home remains
sweet healing for the wounds that
brave and sensitive hearts hide from a
disdainful world. There these hurts
and distresses may be confidently re-
vealed, and a sovereign remedy found
in its unquestioning faith. There a
child’s pure kiss or the touch’ of dim-
pled finger may revive a soul on the
verge of despair; and in the home the
brightest dreams become more golden,
the rarest pleasure more intense, the
tenderest joys more serene. And if, in
the varying decrees of fortune, its lov-
ing shelter must be abandoned, how
the exile folds about his heart, as the
traveler does his cloak, the memory of
its lights and flowers, its loves and
hopes and kindnesses.
There the noblest influences exist,
the Loliest impulses find expression,
and there have been born the chaste
and lofty sentiments that have made a
whole world better.

A YEAR OF BLOOD.
The year of 1903 will long be remem-
bered in the home of F. N. Tacket, of
Alliance, Ky., as a year of blood ; which
flowed so copiously from Mr. Tacket’s
lungs that death seemed very near. He
writes: “Severe bleeding from the
lungs and a frightful cough had brought
me at death’s door, when I began tak-
ing Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, with the astonishing result
that after taking four bottles I was
completely restored, and as time has
proven, permanently cured.” Guaran-

OIL DEVELOPMENT.
Garrett County Lands to be Option-
ed by Standard Company.
A report from Cumberland, Md,
states that the Standard .Oil Company
is about to take up options on property
in Garrett county for the purpose of
drilling for oil. The officials of the Oil
Company said that they had received
no information regarding the project,
and that all matters of this kind were
handled from the New York office.,
The general feeling here is that after
an adequate test has been made, and
should the wells show signs of panning
out, it is not improbable that the Stand-
ard Oil Company will take hold of the
proposition. The pipe lines of the
company now run through that section
of the country near the locality in
which the options are being secured, so
it is pointed out that should Garrett
county develop into an oil-producing
section, it would be an easy matter to
pipe the oil.
It is said that the options are being
taken up in the vicinity of Finzel.
Several test wells have been sunk in
this vicinity, and although signs of oil
were seen, the work was not pushed
forward. The wells were started by a
syndicate composed of Baltimore and
Washington capitalists, and Ex-Con-
gressman William H. Jackson was
president of the company, and it is now
believed that the latter company will
make a thorough test.—Oakland Jour-
nal.

OLD NATIONAL PIKE.
Stories of the Nation’s ‘Rapid
Transit Line” to the Golden
West.
In 1817 the National Road extended
from Cumberland to the West. In
1822 the pike was built from Hagers-
town to Cumberland, and about the
same time the highway was extended
to Baltimore. Along with the comple-
tion of the pike came “line teams”
through from the west. These were
great wagons with rear wheels 10 feet
high, drawn by six horses and making
almost as fast time as the stages or a
modern freight train. They carried
bacon and other western produce to
the markets to sell. On the return trip
they carried dry goods and groceries
for some western store to be reached
possibly by boat from Wheeling.
The days of the old National pike
were romantic times. The sight of
distinguished men of the nation was
common to our people. In 1841 Gen-
eral W. H. Harrison on his way to the
White House by stage stopped at the
old Barton House in Hancock. Black
Hawk, the famous Indian chief, stop-
ped there. Andrew Jackson, Henry
Clay, Davy Cockett, James K. Polk and
Zachary Taylor were familiar fig-
ures at the breakfast table in the old
Barton House, here. Jackson and
Clay were favorites, and always drew
big crowds, to whom they invariably
delivered addresses. The venison, bear
steaks, and hot bread, the ham and
eggs of the Barton House were famous
in those days. The price of a meal was
95 cents, and a glass of whiskey cost 5
cents. Andrew Jackson one morning
toasted on ham and eggs, and was so
pleased that he gave the old “black
mammy” cook a silver dollar.
Coaches in those days rushed along
at 12 miles an hour. The first coach
used was a clumsy affair, carrying 18
passengers. Many stories are told of
the old coaching days. It was a fa-
vorite amusement among passengers to
hold out letters to country people, to
gee them run after the stage. D. Ostor,
of Williamsport, on one occasion drag-
ged a joker from his stage and thrashed
him.
The scenery along the National pike
from Clearspring, through Hancock, to
Sideling Hill, is of romantic beauty—a
succession of wooded ridges and sylvan
dells with a wealth and variety of veg-
etation most enchanting. At Hancock
the traveler from the west got his first
glimpse of the C. & O. canal—then
building, and a work of national im-
portance, which John Quincy Adams
pronounced to be more wonderful and
stupendous than any of the seven won-
ders of the ancient world.—Hancock

Pennsylvania Day at the Pennsyl-
vania State College.
We are under obligations to the fac-
ulty and students of the Pennsylvania
State College for an invitation to be
present at the college on Pennsylvania
Day, Friday, Nov. 23d, when the follow-
ing program will be rendered :
TWO HISTORICAL MARRIAGES.
amre—
The eternal feminine delighting at al
times in things matrimonial will lay
aside reports of social doings at the
summer resorts and advertisements o’
new fangled fruit cans to read about a
wedding, even if it did oceur nigh on te
three hundred years ago.
In this case there are two, and it is
doubtful if an account of them would
be dug up at the present time, were it
not that they have to do indirectly
with the Jamestown Expositien, whieh
is to be held next year at -a point not
tar from the scene of both these earl
social events. F. F. V’s were not
heard of in those days, but for real.
Simon pure F. F. V. ism, the first of
these nuptials had the latter day so-
ciety lashed to the mast, in fact i
marked the beginning of the first fam-
ily of Virginia. The second was the
first instance of title-hunting in Amer-
ica, with the reversed conditions that
the bride, an American, had the title.
and the hunter was the untitled Eng-
lishman. There were no bridesmaids.
no dinners with terrapin and truffles,
no checks for a million dollars, and nc
press accounts of the trousseau, but
there were some distinguished people
present, and in same way the news
leaked out. te
The first installment of Jamestown
settlers was a stag outfit with suck
noble old rounders as Capt. John
Smith in the bunch, but never a petti-
coat, and no wonder things didn’t gr
just right. In the absence of thi
gentle influence one can fancy the
doughty Captain and Old’ Sport Pow-
hatan pitching horseshoes for tobacec
(Powhatan’s tobacco) under Powha-
tan’s oak, and getting tipsy on Dismal
Swamp water.
But when the second contingent 0°
settlers arrived, there were two ladies
among them, or rather one lady, Mis-
tress Forest, and her maid, Anne
Burras. Imagine the rubbering that
took place when the flags of their
femininity were seen to flutter on the
docks of Jamestown. There was onc
citizen of the town that wasn’t slow.
This was John Laydon. At lovemak-
ing he must have been a regular Cor-
sair. He assailed the gentle Anne with
horse, foot and dragoons, sabred her
coyness, rode over her objections.
broke down her defenses, forcibly seiz
ed her consent and bore her away te
the altar before she had begun to feel
at home. Just two months after she
landed in America this fourteen-year
old maid had changed her name from
Burras to Laydon. It is conjecture(
that Capt. Smith gave away the bride
All this happened in December, 160%
and the next year John and Anne pre
sented to the worthy Council of Vir
ginia the first child born of Englisi
parents in the Colony. “It” was a gir!
and she was called Virginia. In 163:
when Virginia was 21, the Virgini.
Court officially recognized this import-
ant event by presenting to the dis
tinguished young lady five hundrec
acres of land in Elizabeth City county
Va., which lies just across Hamptos
Roads from the Jamestown Expositior
grounds. It may be interesting te
note that three other daughters cam
to bless the Laydons—Catharine, Alic-
and Margaret.
That other wedding was the title-
hunting affair. It seems that Joh
Rolfe, Secretary of the Colony of Vir
ginia, succeeded in convincing the roy-

The Shidler-Kimmel Wedding.
Following is an account of the mar-
riage of Miss Mary Kimmel, of this
place, to Mr. Wm. H. Shidler, of Osce-
ola, Ind., mention of which was made
in these columns a couple of weeks
ago:
The ceremoney took place at noon,
| Eld. H. W. Kreighbaum officiating.
Mr. David Motts, of Osceola, acted as
groomsman, and Miss Mamie Rodamer,
of Springs, Pa., as bridesmaid.
About thirty guests witnessed the
ceremony, and an elegant wedding din-
ner was served.
Mr. and Mrs. Shidler have already
begun house-keeping at Osceola, and
Tar STAR trusts that their home will
be a happy and prosperous one.
