Few coun- ties in the state are making more rapid strides in wealth and population than Somerset. Some years ago Miss Fannie B. John- son’s father, of Houma, La. killed B. B. Johnson because he would not marry her. Then a breach of promise suit was brought against his heirs, and re- cently a verdict was obtained for $20,- 000 and 5 per cent. interest. And that is the Louisiana way of dealing with fellows who trifle with the affections of the girls they profess to love.

The apple crop this year was a “frost” in Somerset county. Careful estimates show that not more than 500 bushels of apples were harvested this year. Last year hundreds of thousands of bushels were marketed, and a probable half million bushels rotted on the ground for a want of market. So says a news dispatch now going the rounds of the press, and it is about the truth of the matter. - There is nothing better for stomach troubles than KODOL, which contains the same juices found in a healthy stomach. KODOL is offered on a guar- anteed plan for the relief of heart burn, flatulence, sour stomach, belching of gas, nausea, and all stomach troubles. So at times when you don’t feel just right, when you are drowsy after meals, .and your head aches or when you have no ambition, and you are cross and ir- ritable, take a little KODOL.

General Superintendent Frank R. Lyon, of the Somerset Coal Company, is still contined to the hcuse, nursing his foot which was disabled five weeks ago, when he accidentally tramped on a rusty nail, at Jenners.

At the present rate of progress, Superintendent Lyon will be able to visit the local offices in a few days, says a Somerset exchange. You can’t be well if you have a weak, unhealthy, tired out stomach. Neither can you feel good if by some little ir- regularity in eating you have caused the stomach to get. out of order. These little stomach troubles are signs of in- digestion, which may and very often do turn into a very bad ‘case of dys- pepsia. Don’t allow this to go on a single day without doing something to overcome it. Take some good reliable and safe digestant like KODOL For Dyspepsia. KODOL is the best remedy known today for heart burn, belching and all troubles arising from a disor- dered digestion. It is pleasant to take and affords relief promptly. Sold by E. H. Miller. 12-1 A little girl of four or five years was quietly playing on the porch, one after- noon, says Harper's Weekly, while her father and one of his friends were en- joying a smoke and a chat on political matters. They paid no attention to the little girl, who in turn seemed en- tirely absorbed in her dolls and her Teddy bear. When the guest had gone, and bedtime came, the child’s mother noticed that she was unusually silent and thoughtful, and when she knelt to say her prayers, there came a pause after the usual petitions, and then she resumed very earnestly: **And now, God, please take great care of Yourself, for if anything should hap- pen to You, we should have only Mr. Roosevelt—and he has not come up to papa’s expectations.” One of the incomprehensible things in the religious observances of the day, is that when the pastor of a church is discouraged and disappointed at the lack of spiritual activity, and seeming indifference of his members, especially at their non-attendance at church, and his heart is almost breaking because greater success is not crowning his ef- forts to do his Master’s’ work, he dis- penses with all or part of his sermon on some occasion and lectures the few faithful who are present for the faults of the’ multitude who are engaged in worldly pursuits. Would it not be better to talk love and harmony, and “peace that passeth understanding” to the faithful, and then go out and make his complaint individually to the un- faithful? Who can doubt the result? pertinently asks the Somerset Demo- crat. Fred Petry had hardly opened his new barber shop until he was approach- ed by a member of the barbers’ trust, who demanded to know on what prin- ciples he proposed to run his shop. It is needless to say that the principles didn’t suit the trust member, who then got very nasty with his meddlesome mouth. The people have no use for trusts, whether barbers’ trusts, doctors’ trusts or whatever kind of trusts they may be. The business or professional man who dares to own himself, gives his patrons good service, and opens and closes his place of business at such hours as meet the requirements of his patrons, cannot fail to get his share of the business, and have the good will of his patrons as well. If some meddle some “sissies” would put in more hours shaving faces, and less time playing poker, they would not only make more money, but would stand much higher in the estimation of their fellow men. Even going to church on Sunday, look- ing as sanctimonious as a sick monkey and carrying a hymn book or bible un- der his arm, will not avail a poker fiend very much when the public is once onto him.
