Henry Keim, of Davenport, Neb,
was the guest of Wm. H. Fair and
family, Monday night. Mr. Keim is a
son of David Keim, who resides at

but on Tuesday he was wedded to Miss
Mary Snyder, a daughter of Alexander
Snyder, who resides near Rockwood.
Frederick Walker, one of the leading
farmers of Summit township, was a
visitor of THE Star office, Monday af-
ternoon. Mr. Walker was attacked by
a vicious bull in one of his fields, last

in a critical condition for a considerable
time after the attack ; but we are glad
to note that he has fully recovered
from his injuries.

D. Compton, the genial and popular
Elk Lick miller, is not as well content-
ed as the poet’s “Miller of the Dee,”
and how in the deuce could he be con-
tented and happy when suffering with
a series of carbuncles? With all his
suffering, however, he is able to get
about and swap yarns with bis friends,
and we think he’ll soon have the car-
buncles knocked out.
Mrs. G. W. Robinson arrived home

sides on Ord street, where she is suf-
fering with a bad case of la grippe.

Richard Newman went to Washing-
ton, D. C., Monday, and returned home
yesterday. He went there on business,
and we just about half suspect that
big “Bill” Taft sent for him to come
down and accept a position in his cab-
inet. But “Dick” doesn’t care for of-
fice as long as he can hold the high-
salaried, honorable and thankless of-
fice of School Director in Salisbury.
Fire broke out in Kunkle’s restau-
rant, in Meyersdale, Monday evening,
but the flames were extinguished be-
fore much damage was done. The
building in which the fire occurred is
located between the Colonial hotel and
the Miller and Collins store. If the
blaze had not been discovered in time,
the entire business section of Meyers-
dale would likely have gone up in
smoke. :
Christmas was a rather’'quiet day in
Salisbury, although about the usual
number of people celebrated the Sav-
jor's birthday by getting drunk and
making hogs of themselves. By most
of our people, however, the day was
properly observed, and the Christmas
services at the various churches were
well attended. The charity -offerings
at the Lutheran church wereifquite
liberal, and brought happiness to many
hearts.

An exchange truthfully says: “lt
makes no difference what profession of
religion a man may make, nor how
loyal he is to his church and pastor, he
can never get a glimpse of the pearly
gates until he pays his debts. God has
no use for a deadbeat, and men hate
such vermin. It makes no difference
how small the debt is, if it is honestly
owed, it should be honestly paid be-
fore he can call himself a consistent
Christian.”
When the sun shines and the streets
become dusty, you wish it would rain;
when it rains and the streets become
muddy, you wish the sun would shine.
After you are married you wish you
was single, and if you get a hew dress
you wish you had a new hat to match
it; if it is a boy you wish is was a girl,
and if it is a girl you wise it was a boy.
Was human nature ever satisfied?
Guess not, and glad of it, for then there
would be nothing to “kick” about.
More people are taking Foley’s Kid-
ney Remedy every year. It is con-
sidered to be the most effective remedy
for kidney and bladder troubles that
medical science can devise. Foley’s
Kidney Remedy corrects irregularities,
builds up worn out tissues and re-
stores lost vitality. It will make you
feel well and look well. Elk Lick

A circular issued by the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad officials, states that here-
after passengers who travel on the
1,000-mile commercial books, and who
have heretofore been compelled to sign
their names to contracts, and also to
sign the tickets in the presence of the
conductors, will not be required to
comply with this provision. This will
be a great convenience fo the ticket

Walter Herring, a youth of sixteen
years, was badly injured in the Somer-
set Coal Company’s mine No. 1, Mon-
day morning, while attempting to get
on an electric motor. He was caught
between the motor and a car, which re-
sulted in a badly injured leg. No
bones were broken, but a gash was cut
about a foot lung, extending downward
from the knee, and deep enough to
reach the bone. Considerable time
will elapse before the young man will
be able to work again.
The MeClure brothers, Samuel, Wil-
liam and James, all came home to spend
the Holiday season with their mother,
Mrs. Q. A. McClure, and other Salis-
bury friends. Samuel took up the
study of law, in Detroit, Mich., some
time ago, where he also holds a lucra-
tive position with the Remington Type-
writer Company. William is a medi-
cal student at the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity in Baltimore, and James a law
student at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, in Philadelphia.

Life is too short to be overshadowed
by gloom. Let us live bravely and
cheerfully, as well as industriously and
dutifully. The true heart recognizes
the duty of happiness, and faces life
with a certain courageous gayety that
solves many doubts and scatters the
clouds of woe and disaster. Let us
cultivate the habit of cheerfulness, and
know that when we quench the inno-
cent joy of a fellow creature by a word
or a frown we are deliberately destroy-
ing a part of the world’s most precious
treasures.
Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Livengood, of
Keyser, W. Va, and Mr. and Mrs.
Daniel Livengood, of Munhall, Pa., ar-
rived here last week to spend Christ-
mas and a few other days at the old
home of the Messrs. Livengood, who
are sons of Elijah Livengood, the
maple sugar king. “Abe” and “Dan”
report a sumptuous diner at -the old
homestead on Christmas day, and the
whole family partook of it in liberal
doses, the occasion being a sort of fam-
ily reunion. The Big Mgple farm is as
famous for good dinners as for maple
sugar.
Every case of backache, weak back,
bladder inflammation and rheumatic
pains is dangerous if neglected, for
such troubles are nearly always due to
weak kidneys. Take DeWitt’s {Kidney
and Bladder Pills. They are antiseptic
and soothe pain quickly. Insist upon
DeWitt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills.
For weak kidneys and inflammation of
the bladder they are unequaled. Reg-

George S. Warnick and son Lester,
charged with causing the death of
William Broadwater, a brother-in-law
of Warnicks, at Bond station, some
time in the early fall, were arraigned
before the court, and George 8. War-
nick was acquitted, while the son was
paroled for a term of three years on
his good behavior, and to pay the
widow of Broadwater the sum of
twenty dollars per month, and to give
bond for the faithful performance of
the penalty. His father went on his
bond. Lester, the accused son, is to
appear at each term of the court for the
three years.—Oakland Journal.
You should always remember that
most cough and cold cures are consti-
pating. Yet the most important thing
to do when you have a cold is to move
the bowels. You cannot promptly cure
a cold until you do this. Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup stops the cough
by allaying inflammation of the throat
and lungs, and it drives the cold from
the system by gently moving the bow-
els. Children like it. for it tastes near-
ly as good as maple sugar. Sold by E.
H. Miller. ’ 1-1
The January number of The Ladies’
World has three features that would
attract attention in any magazine be-
cause of their timeliness and method of
treatment. Ella B. Argo, a Southern
journalist, describes a ride taken one
afternoon with John D. Rockefeller in’
Augusta, Georgia, and it is done so
simply-that you feel that you know
more of the great man than ever be-
fore. The centenary of Edgar Allan
Poe is to be celebrated next month,
and Clara E. Laughlin, the well-known
writer, tells the story of the poet’s un-
fortunate life in a way that is more
fascinating than any fiction. Laura A.
Smith writes of the Country Life Com-
mission and the influence the Consoli-
dated School has on the social life of
the rural districts. These contribu-
tions alone would make any issue
notable, but there are besides several
very interesting short stories, finely
illustrated, the continuation of Grace
MacGowan Cooke’s novel, Hearts In-
surgent, the usual practical House-
hold, Fashion and Dressmaking and
Needlework departments, and some
miscellaneous reading’ that is well
worth while. If the standard of this
number is kept up, the year will be a
remarkable one.—[New York; Fifty
Cents a Year.]
