GOOD WORDS FOR GIRLS.
Your mother is your best friend.
Have nothing to do with girls who
snub their parents.
Tell the pleasantest things you know
when at meals.
Do not expect your brother to be as
dainty as a girl.
Exercise, and never try to look as if
you were delicate in heaith.
Introduce every new acquaintance to
your mother as soon as possible.
Don’t think it necessary to get mar-
ried. There is plenty of room for old
maids, and they are often bappier than
wives.
Never think you can afford to be
dowdy at home. Cleanliness, hair well
dressed, and a smile will make calico
look like silk in the eyes of a father or
brother.
Do not quarrel with your brother, do
not preach to him and do not coddle
him. Make him your friend, and do not
expect him to be your servant, nor let
him expect you to be his.
Don’ call your mother “old woman.”
We often hear that from young men.
Stop and think how it sounds. “Old
lady” is bad enough, but the “old wom-
an” applied to her who gave you life
and nursed your infancy, is rude and
unkind.
APPRECIATION.
At a marriage anniversary an appre-
ciative husband thus addressed his
wife: “To you, my wife—as I review
the past I am reminded that through all
these years you have been a true, faith-
ful and loving mother, ever ready with
a word of encouragement in the darkest
hours, always willing to bear more than
your share of life’s burdens, making
many sacrifices for my own and our
children’s happiness and comfort, and
I feel that surrounded by the perplexi-
ties and vexations of a busy life I may
have failed to show to you my apprecia-
tion of your many virtues.”
Boys, when you speak of your father,
don’t call him “the old man.” Of
course, you are older now than when
you were taught to call him father.
You are much smarter than you were
then, you are much more manly look-
ing, your clothes fit you better, your
hat has a modern shape, and your hair
is combed differently. Your father has
a last year’s coat, a two-year-old hat
and a vest of still older pattern. He
can’t write such an elegant note as you
can, and all that, but don’t call him
“the old man.” Call him father. For
years he has been rustling around to
get things together, he has been held to
the thorny path of uphill industry, and
the brightest half of life has gone from
him forever. But he loves you, though
he goes along without saying much
about it.
HAPPINESS.
If you would increase your happiness
and prolong your life, forget your
neighbor’s faults. Forget the tempta-
tions. Forget the fault-finding, and
give little thought to the cause that
provoked it. - Forget the peculiarities
of your friends, and only remember the
good points that make you fond of
them. Forget all personal quarrels.
Obliterate everything disagreeable
from yesterday ; start out with a clean
sheet for today, and write upon it for
sweet memory’s sake only those things
that are lovely and lovable.
SOMETHING FOR BOYS.
Many people seem to forget that
character grows; that it is not some-
thing to put on ready-made, with wom-
anhood or manhood ; but day by day,
here a little and there a little, grows
with the growth and strengthens with
the strength, until, good or bad, it be-
comes almost a coat of mail.
Look at a man of business—prompt,
reliable, conscientious, yet clear-head-
ed and energetic. When do you sup-
pose he developad all the admirable
qualities? When he was a boy.
Let us see the way in which a boy of
ten gets up in the morning, works,
plays, studies, and we will tell you just
what kind of a man he will make. The
boy who is late to school stands a poor
chance to be a prompt man. The boy
who neglects his duties, be they ever so
small, and then excuses himself by
saying:—
“I forgot ; I didn’t think ;” will nev-
er be a reliable man.
And the boy who finds pleasure in
the sufferings of weaker things will
never be a noble, generous, kindly man
—a gentleman.
If you are Constipated, dull, or bil-
ious, or have a sallow lifeless complex-
ion, try Lax-ets just once to see what
they will do for you. Lax-ets are little
toothsome Candy tablets—nice to eat,
nice in effect. No griping, no pain.
Just a gentle laxative effect that is
pleasingly desirable. Handy for the
vest pocket or purse. Lax-ets meet
every desire. Lax-ets come to you in
beautiful lithographed metal boxes at
5 cents and 25 cents. Sold by Elk Lick

Court House Appointments.
The County Commissioners left yes-
terday for Pittsburg on business inci-
dental to the new court house, and for
that reason postponed making the an-
nual elections of theboard. There will
be few changes, but there has been a
contest for janitor and fireman, whose
duties will be increased when the new
court house is occupied. It is said that
Howard M. Wright has been practical-
ly agreed upon as janitor, vice Daniel
Treutle, of Somerfield—Somerset
Standard.

Died of Diphtheria.
James, a 4-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter S. Easton, died of diph-
theria, Tuesday forenoon, after an ill-
ness of only a few days.
The deceased was an unusually
bright and affectionate child, and his
death is a severe blow to the parents
and other members of the family.
The funeral took place this forenoon
at 10 o'clock, Rev. S. M. Cousins, of the
United Evangelical church, officiating.
Mr. Easton was not at home when
death claimed the little sufferer, but
was in Franklin county, Pa., where he
is emplayod by the Ingersoll-Rand
Drill Dompany. A message was sent
to him early on Tuesday, informing
him of the serious illness of his child,
and upon its receipt he promptly start-
ed for home, but the beloved child had
passed to the great beyond before he
arrived here.
The death of the child is doubly sad
to the bereaved father, who is a man
passionately fond of his children, but
cannot enjoy their company as much
as he would like, owing to his employ-
ment being far from his home. His
home-coming was always a source of
much pleasure to himself and family,
but in this instance it is sad beyond
expression, and our hearts go out in
spmpathy to the bereaved, and we
share in their heavy grief.
CURED OF LUNG TROUBLE.
“It is now eleven years since I had a
narrow escape from consumption,”
writes C. O. Floyd, a leading business
man of Kershaw, 8. C. “I had run
down in weight to 135 pounds, and
coughing was constant, both by day
and by night. Finally I began taking
Dr. King’s New Discovery, and contin-
ued this for about six months, when
my cough and lung trouble were en-
tirely gone and I was restored to my
pormal weight, 170 pounds.” Thou-
sands of persons are healed every year.

AN INTERESTING TREATMENT.
E. H. MILLER SAYS HE HAS AT LAST DIS-
COVERED A POSITIVE CURE FOR
INDIGESTION,
“For years,” said the above druggist,
“I have been waiting for some one to
discover a remedy that really will cure
dyspepsia.
“I recently learned that a new rem-
edy, Pepsikola Tablets, had been placed
on the market, and on investigation I
found that at last there is a remedy
that surely will cure.
“I laid in a big supply because I knew
that as soon as the people began to
know about this remarkable remedy
there would be a big demand for it, and
it is selling beyond my expectations.”
It is not often a druggist sells a new
remedy on a positive guarantee, but
unless cured of nervousness, dizzy
spells, sour stomach, coated tongue,
palpitation and other symptoms of dys-
pepsia, Mr. Miller will hand back your
money cheerfully and without argu-
ment.
No one should hesitate on trying a
25-cent box of Pepsikola Tablets, as
they will not cost you a penny should
they fail to relieve and cure the very
ort case of indigestion and dyspepsia.

Printing Office Hints.
Never send articles for publication
without giving thy name, for thy name
often secures publication of a worth-
less article.
Thou shouldst not rap at the door of
a printing. office, for he that heareth
thee rap sneereth in his sleeves and
looseth time.
Thou shouldst never read the copy
on the printer’s case or sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
Never inquire of the editor the news,
for behold it is his business to give it to
thee at the apointed time without ask-
ing for it.
It is not right that thou should ask
him who is the author of an article,
for it is his duty to keep such things to
himself.
When thou dost enter his office, take
heed of thyself that thou dost not look
at what may concern thee not, for that
is not meet in the sight of good breed-
ing.
Neither examine thou the proof-
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine
eye, that thou mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and if thou hast not done so, sub-
scribe for it immediately, pay for it in
advance, and it will be well with thee
and thine.
WISE COUNSEL FROM THE SOUTH.
“IT want to give some valuable advice
to those who suffer with lame back and
kidney trouble,” says J. R. Blanken-
ship, of Beck, Tenn. “I have proved to
an absolute certainty that Electric
Bitters will positively cure this distress-
ing condition. The first bottle gave me
great relief, and after taking a few more
bottles, I was completely cured; so
completely that it becomes a pleasure
to recommend this great remedy.”
