ment.
Courtesy, like charity, should begin
at home. Of course, one does not ex-
pect to find the same degree of ceremo-
ny practiced there as the formalities of
mere acquaintanceship exact, but there
certainly should not be less respect
and deference paid to those who are
nearer and dearer to us, than to out-
siders. The man who is a gentleman
in his home-and among those who com-
prise his immediate household, can be
trusted to do nothing unbecoming to a
gentleman when beyond the precincts
of home ; but the man who is courtesy
itself when abroad, is oftentimes the
veriest boor within the confines of his
own dwelling place. Such a man may
pride himself on being a gentleman;
but he is deficient in the elementary
instincts of the true type, and is con-
sequently somewhat akin to a counter-
feit that has obtained more or less cir-
culation among the uninitiated, but is
nevertheless a spurious coin, the worth-
lessness of which will be discovered
sooner or later.
In this enlightened Twentieth century
when farmers’ wives have to be nurse,
cook, chambermaid, washerwoman,
seamstress and scrub, doing the work
of-six for the sake of being supported,
we should urge mothers to train their
boys carefully to be tidy and consider-
ate of the burdens they heap upon
women, rather than asking that they
may be permitted looser reins in the
household. These boys are to be the
men and home-makers, and the habits
of early years will cling to them
through life. There are more wives
and housekeepers staggering under
loads of work that careless men oc-
casion than there are men driven to
the dramshop by too much nicety. Let
the boys be required to shut the doors,
to brush their clothing, to hang up
their hats and coats, to put their shoes
and rubbers in their proper places, to
empty and rinse their wash basins and
bath tubs when done using them, to
hang towels and washrags on the rack,
instead of throwing them on the bed or
on the floor; and clean their boots,
sweep up the litter they make in whit-
tling, nut-cracking, and all the inven-
tions in which they are so fertile for
disarranging rooms.
GOOD HUMOR A PRICELESS BOON.
There is but little doubt that good
humor is a priceless boon. It is the oil
that smooths many a rough place in
life which otherwise would be very
hard sledding. A man who can smile
at misfortune and the mistakes he has
made in life, and has the courage to
correct them and work manfally to
make amends, has that in him which
deserves success in the end. Ill humor
sulks in its tent. The sun never shines
bright enough to drive away the clouds
of gloom which continually surround
it. It has a snap and a snarl for any
who may attempt to point out a better
way or offer a crumb of comfort in case
of real need. Good humor rises to the
occasion and meets misfortune. with a
smile, however much the heart may be
pained, forgetting its own heart pains
by lending a helping hand to those less
fortunate. Good humor is a fortress, a
strong tower, where the possessor may
flee to gather strength for a renewed
battle with difficulty and danger.
Good humor is simply invincible. A
man who laughs at misfortune and sets
his face bravely to do the right as he
sees it, is worth more to the world by
far than tbe snarler who sets down
amid a broken fortune, to bemoan his
tate and make life a wilderness of woe
for every one within hailing distance.
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
8he can cometo a decision without
the slightest trouble of reasoning on it;
anid no sane man can do that.
Six of them can talk at once, and get
along first rate, and no two men can do
that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her
dress while he is getting one under his
thumbnail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in half
a dozen tight dresses and skirts, while
a man will fret and fume and growl in
one loose shirt.
She can talk sweet as peaches and
cream to the woman she hates, while
two men would be punching each
other’s heads before they had exchang-
ed ten words.
She can appreciate a kiss from her
husband seventy-five years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and afterwards
tell you what every woman had on, and
in some rare instances can give you
some faint idea what the text was.
She can walk half the night with a
1 colicky baby in her arms without once
expressing the desire of murdering: the
infant.
She can—but what’s the use? A
woman can do anything or everything,
and do it well.
She can domore in a minute than a
man can do in an hour, and do it bet-
ter.
She can drive a man crazy for twen-
ty-four hours, and then bring him to a
paradise in two seconds by simply
tickling him under the chin, and there
does not live that mortal son of Adam’s
misery who can do that.
GIRLS SELF SUPPORTING.
So greatly is this world changing
that it is to be recognized more and
more that girls as well as boys may and
should be self-supporting.
The girl who sits around idle all the
busy day, reads a few French novels,
does a little fancy work, gossips idly
with others who have nothing in par-
ticular to do, tangles and untangles
silks and worsteds ad infinitum, and
then waits for some silly young man
(for no young man of good, common
sense would want such a girl for his
wife) to come along and take her off
her own hands, has gone out of fashion.
The girl of the Twentieth century, if
she would be popular, must have a
business as well as a boy—a vocation
of some kind. That it is useful and
needful to all is true. “What,” says
some fair, sweet-faced girl, “surely I
don’t need it, I am only a child. My
father is rich. In our home of wealth
there is nothing lacking of comfort and
happiness, of beauty and grandeur.”
Ah, yes! but riches often take to them-
selves wings, and fly away, and a turn
of fortune’s wheel hurls wealthy people
down to poverty every day. Your hope
paints your future in azure and gold.
God grant that your dreams may be
realized, but there is so great a danger
that they may fail that it is wise to
prepare for a failure; and if in your
patbway the flowers bloom brightly,
and over your head shines the sun, his
ever-smiling face from the clear blue
sky, and no dark clouds ever gather
o’er you, you will enjoy them more for
having the unfailing knowledge that if
shipwreck does come, you will have the
life boat of a thorough knowledge to
some useful line of work. Be true to
yourselves, study your own interests,
and aim to be true women, who live for
some noble cause. Better learn to do
one thing perfectly than a hundred
imperfectly.
The Old Casselman on a Rampage.
Last Tuesday night rain fell in tor-
rents practically all night, and by
morning the Casselman river and its
tributaries were away out over their
banks. The river was higher than at
was during the Johnstown flood, and
the oldest inhabitants say they cannot
remember a time when it was higher.
Much damage has been done to bridges
and fences, and no doubt many people
have suffered the loss of live stock and
poultry as a result of the high water,
which has flooded and even swept away
small buildings near the river.
“Bert” Engle, manager of the West
Salisbury Feed Company’s store, lost
three pigs in a pen that stood near the
river, and there is no doubt that many
other people residing along the river
have had similar losses.
The iron bridge at the foot of Union
street has been slightly damaged,
and the damage done to bridges else-
where will likely amount to a consider-
able sum of money.

A big land slide on the B. & O. rail-

bury Junction, has all trains from the
west tied up, today, and they will be
delayed not less than ten hours, ac-
cording to a message from Meyersdale,

County Auditors’ Report.
We call attention to the County Au-
ditors’ report, which appears in this is-
sue of THE Star. The report shows
that the county’s affairs have been well
managed by Commissioners Specht,
Augustine and Zimmerman, and the
year’s work is closed by a cash balance
of $12,568.24. .The outstanding taxes
added to this will show that the county
has to its credit $170,785.40. The ex-
penditures for the general fund were
almost $11,000 less than the appropria-
tion to the Poor Board.
