Interesting Sessions Held in Salis- bury, Last Week. The farmers’ Institute held in Hay’s opera house, last Friday and Saturday. opened with a fair attendance. Some very interesting, as well as beneficial subjects were ably discussed by home talent and lecturers from other counties. = Several lecturers on the program could not be here. The first topic, “Legumes for feed and fertility,” was ably discussed by Amos B. Lehman, of Fayetteville, Pa., from the standpoint that clover is a better and cheaper fertilizer than the commercial brand. J. 8. Stevanus, of Springs, Pa. de- livered an interesting talk on “The farmer’s small fruit. garden.” He clearly stated how to plant and take care of small fruit, naming principally the strawberry, raspberry and black- berry. Prof. Campbell next discussed “The little hen and her productiveness.” Mr. Campbell has the subject well in hand, and explained how to shelter and care for the little egg producer for both pleasure and profit. Mrs. E. E. Haselbarth delivered a recitation entitled “Sombre,” which was very much appreciated by the au- dience. The subject of “Farm buildings and blunders” was ably discussed by D. H. Watts. of Clearfield county. Mr. Watts gave a very good idea of what consti- tutes an ideal farm home, also pointing out some of the blunders made by the farmer. L. L. Beachy, of West Salisbury, read an interesting paper on the subject, “What the farmer needs to make farn- ing a success,” and next came Mr. Campbell with a very logical talk on “Economical maintenance of the pro- ductiveness of the soil.” D. H. Watts gave many pointed sug- gestions on “How to build up the dairy herd.” Some useful points were brought out through the query period, of which there was one in each session of the in- stitute. Such questions as “The Public Road,” “The Blight-proof Potato” and others were discussed briefly by some of the Elk Lick farmers, during these intervals. L The Saturday afternoon and evening sessions were attended by large au- diences. The first topic in the afternoon was a very ably prepared ‘essay on “Life on the farm in 1907,” by Miss Pearl Hay. of Elk Lick township. After listening to it. cne could not help but think that 1907, not unlike other years, had lots of good thing in store for the sturdy peo- ple on the farms. The audience was next admirably entertained by a very appropriate ad- dress by Rev. 8. C. Stover, of Keim, Pa, entitled, “What the farmer don’t need.” Among the many true and good things he said, (which is demonstrated year by year) was, that farmers do not need such big farms as they used to have to get profit and pleasure. He also brought light to bear on the fact that a practical, and not a college education is needed to fit a young farmer for that particular avocation. Mr. Campbell spoke on the “Chicken industry.” The feeding and care of the chick was discussed at some leng-h and with much clearness. “Dairying,” the last subject of tie afternoon program, by D. H. Watrs, should give any farmer a fair idea of that business. He certainly gave some useful points as to how a cow stable should be kept. At the evening session, after several queries were discussed, a most whole- some essay by Miss Minnie M. Rininger, entitled “The Family,” was read by that lady. Miss Rininger handled her subject well. She gave some very use- ful hints for the welfare of not only the family on the farm, but also the family elsewhere. D. H. Watts spoke entertainingly for a short time on the subject, “The farm- er of the future.” The closing address was made by Mr. Campbell, “the chicken man,” on “What constitutes a country home.” The institute then adjourned to meet at Somerset, Monday, Dec. 2, 1907. PAST EXAMINATION SUCCESS- FULLY. James Donahue, New Britain, Conn., writes: “I tried several kidney reme- dies, and was treated by our best phy- sicians for diabetes, but did not im- prove until I took Foley’s Kidney Cure. After the second bottle I showed im- provement, and five bottles cured me completely. I have since passed a rigid examination for life insurance.” Foley’s Kidney Cure cures back-ache and all forms}; of hidney and bladder trouble. Sold by all Druggists. 1-1 HARD TIMES IN NEVADA. W. S. Easton, One of Salisbury’s Brainiest Men, Meets with Mis- - fortune in the Far West. Our friend jWalter Easton, who is one of thejmost ingenious and brainy men Salisbury can [boast of, and who has seen a great deal of this great country of foursfduring the past few years, has fwe regret to say, met with quite a misfortune, recently, in Ne- vada. We received a private letter from Walter, a few days ago, and we will take the liberty to reproduce a few ex- tracts from it, believing it will prove of interest to his many friends. We know they will all sympathize with him in his misfortune. In writing of the financial conditions and other things pertaining to Nevada, Mr. Easton has the following to say in a letter dated Nov. 25th: “As for getting home, it is impossible now. Things have all gone wrong here. Money is a thing of the past. I have made some money here. I dealt some in stocks and had over $1,500 in a bank that closed its doors. They say it will pay 10 per cent. TI was banking every cent I could spare, and banked $150 the day before the bank closed. Now I can’t get my pay. The company is of Pittsburg, and they say they can’t get money out of the banks. “I have been getting $250 a month, but have not been paid for the last two months. I will come home just as soon as I get money enough to pay my way. I don’t know when that will be, “There is plenty of the ‘real goods’ here. I see ore every day that will run from $50 to $1,000 per ton, but it is in the hands of a few people. I have found ore that assayed $8,000 per ton, but it belonged to the Consolidated Mining Company. “] am working yet under pay, but I don’t know whether I will get any or not. At any rate I will ‘skidoo’ just as soon as I get fy fare home.” RE NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS. We are pleased to announce that Foley’s Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung troubles is not affected by the National Pure Food and Drug law. as it contains no opiates or other harm- ful drugs, ahd we recommend it as a safe remedy for children and adults.

Epitor Star:—We received your letter some time ago, and we will not only pay our indebtedness to Tue STAR, but also for a year’s subscription in advance. And we are glad to do so for there is always a cling to the land of one’s birth, and there is no better way of getting such goodly news than through your paper. T was very glad to learn that our home folks and friends have street cars. They are surely a benefit to a place, and usually increase the size of a town. Here we can go to Bellaire, Wheeling and many other towns along the Ohio river, by trolley. We like the Buckeye state very much. but hope in time to pay a visit to our friends in Salisbury, among whom I shall expect a chicken dinner with our worthy editor. Tell all my friends I am going through life forked end down, and blacksmithing for a living. I remain as ever, Curis. Boy. Come right along, Chris., and rest as- sured that you will be welcome to a chicken dinner at the editor’s home, any old time. Be latehstring is al: ways out for our paying subscribers, and nothing that the poultry yard can supply is too good for them.—[Ep.] A REALL WONDERLAND. South Dakota, with its rich silver mines, bonanza farms, wide ranges nnd strange natural formations, is a verit- able wonderland. At Mound City, in the home of Mrs. E. D.

My platform will be announced later, and when the announcement is made, it will leave no doubt as to where I stand on the vital questions that the people will demand the next Legisla- ture to deal with. I will not be a dodger of the ques- tions at issue, but some time between this date and the day of the primary, will “talk right out in meeting” and let the people know just where I stand and what they may reasonably expect of me if I should be nominated and elected. In the meantime, keep your eye on Tue Star, and anything honorable you may be able to do to aid me in my candidacy, will be duly appreciated.

She sits at the oven winiow, and the soft mellow rays of the set- ting sun cast gentle shadows that seem to accentuate her isolation. In her face is expressed the remoteness of the spirit that will ever see visions and dream dreams, whnile in her dwelt in sweet accord all those qualities, those subtle elusive ele- ments of perfection that we esteem but can never wholly fathom. As she raises her eyes her glance takes in the room—the open fire, the easy chalr, the table on which rests a bundle of manuscripts, and a soft smile creeps over her countenance. “Children of the Mist,” she mur- murs, and lays caressing fingers on the neat pile of papers. Her fancy wanders in and out through the vista of departed years and she sees her- self a young and happy girl embark- ing on ghe sea of literature. A brief and hardworking period of novitiatz found her at the height of fame. Her books became a household possession and her presence was sought at many a gathering, not only for her fame as a writer, but because her sweet, sym- pathetic nature drew humanity tc- ward her, and her charity and sweet helpfulness cheered many an unsuc- cessful follower. One window of her room looked out on many a roof garden, but one little opening that caught the first sweet flush of dawn and the last lingering set of sun. She loved the wide glory of the purple sky. its loneliness and its mystery. A sleep- ing princess, waiting for her prince,” she designated herself. This little world had at time a fairy brightness that contrasted with its occasional loneliness and the dark hour when frost and snow shut out her view of sun and moon and stars. It made one side of her life, one part of her existence. The other half of her consciousness belonged to the world ‘outside, to the ostentation and vani- ties that characterized her fellow- men. She found that standing on the outskirts of the dim multitudes she could view here, ag well as in her high window, rising cnostella- tions, fleeing eclipses and intermit- tent silences. The view fascinated her, and when at last the prince came, her whol heart had leaped responsive to th: great happiness; she was carried along in the whirl; utterly swept oif her feet, robbed of all volition. There seemed no leisure hours to spend nt her high window, and she felt blind- ed ~nd deafened by the clamor of ler hesrt. But at last there came a quite moment when, seated in her nook among the stars, her thoughts resolved themselves from chaos and she could survey calmly and logi- cally her position. As she glanced at the solitaire he had placed upon her finger she seemed to see in its place a chain that bound her in rivets of steel. “My wife,”” he would say in one of their plans for the future, ‘must not be a public woman| The life of a woman in the public eye is utterly distasteful to me.” That she should give up her writing was the sum of his desires. At first in the poignancy of her grief she had tried to elimin- ate him from her life, but the long stretches of loneliness and the insis- tent cries of her heart rendered fu- tile all attempts at separation, and she realized with a pang that she haa come to a parting of the ways. Now once more seated at her high window in the clouds, her hands ca- ressingly, lingeringly laid upon her manuscripts, she feels that some- thing she had begun to live for has gone for nothing; something sweet, ardent and keen must come to an end. She crosses the room to the open fireplace, where the fitful darts of flame cast fantastic shadows on wall and floor, and kneeling, she stirs the dying embers. into a bright glow Ther gently, tenderly, she places the neat parcel on the coals. ‘‘Children of the Mist,”” she whispers, ‘‘fare- well.’ As the papers catch the glow they quicken into flame, then die out: a coal becoming detached from its security falls with a sibilant, hiss- | | | t Hidneys the bluebird chants | last | ing noise and in the rosy glare is re- | flected a subtle change in the face of | the kneeling girl-——the old look of | surprise in the brown eyes has gone; the old air of enchantment has de- parted; equipoise; something.
