Found a Spider In His Copy of the Paper. ‘When Mark Twain was editing the Virginia City Enterprise he received from a ‘superstitious subscriber a let- ter stating that the writer had found a spider in his copy of the paper and wanted to know whether that was good or bad luck. Mark replied in his “An- swers to Correspondents” column: Ola Subscriber—The finding of a spider In your copy of the Enter- prise was neither good luck nor bad. The spider was merely look- ing over our pages to find out what merchant was not advertising, so that it could spin its web across his door and lead a free and un- disturbed existence forever and ever. ’ And Mark hit the mark.

The Henry Clay Club of Salisbury, in 1844. It evidently required about the same kind of persuasion to influence some men’s votes in 1844 as is made use of all too freely in this supposedly more enlightened era. In paging through one of the old store books of the late Christian C. Livengood, which book we have in our possession, we find the fol- lowing charges: “Henry Clay Club of Salisbury, .Dr. to Jeremiah Miller, for gin, 1 gallon and 3 pints. “Dr. to Jacob Wagner for one-half gallon.” “Dr. to C. C. Livengood for 3 quarts.” The price is omitted, but we suppose gin sqld at“about the same price in those days as the best rye whisky could be bought for, which was 50 cents per gallon. But it’s no wonder that the great Henry Clay was defeated by James K. Polk,a man far Clay’s in- ferior, if the great Kentucky states- man’s campaign was conducted throughout the country in general on gin, the popular negro tipple, and easily the most abominable drinking stuff mortal man was ever cursed with. Now, if the “cullid gemmen” had been voters in those days, and the Clay campaign waged on gin, Polk would have been poking along so far behind in the race that he never would have gotten a glimpse of the great Ken- tuckyan’s coat-tails. But gin isn’t the stuff on election days for white men, as it keeps their kidneys too active to give them much time for voting and electioneering. Following is a list of some of Mr. Livengood’s store customers in 1844, as gleaned from his books, and while many of them are yet remembered by our older readers, the chances are that nearly all of the following named per- sons are dead, some of them for many years: John C.

Get from any prescription pharma- cist the following: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce ; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take a teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime. The above is considered as the most certain prescription ever written to re- lieve Backache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all forms of Urinary diffi- culties.. This mixture acts promptly on theéliminative tissues of the Kid- neys, enabling them to filter and strain the uric acid and other waste matter from the biood which causes Rheuma- tism. Some persons who suffer with the afflictions may not feel inclined to place much confidence in this simple mixture, yet those who have tried it say the results are simply surprising, the relief being effected without the slightest injury to the stomach or other organs. Mix some and give it a trial. It cer- tainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent au- thority, whose entire reputation, it is said, was established by it. A druggist here at home, whenjasked, stated that he could either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription for our readers, also recommends it as harmless.

The old firm of Josiah Specht & Sone, which has done one of the most ex- tensive lines of business conducted by any country store in the state, is about to be dissolved, according to report. It is said the store will be taken. over by a firm composed of D. B. Specht, and perhaps two others of the Specht brothers. The Specht store is locgted at- Kant- ner. It is conducted oh the depart- ment plan, and has done a business of more than $100,000 per year for the past several years. __Josiah Specht, the retiring member. is a County C >mmissioner.—Rockwood Leader. Meyersdale Man Accused of Im- probable Crime. Meyersdale, Mar. 1.—A sensation was created here today when it became known that Pittsburg detectives had arrested M. W. Weimer, head of the Meyersdale Electric Manufacturing Company, and a well known citizen, on a charge of arson. The allegation of the detectives is that they have evidence that Weimer hired a man named Peters, for $500, to burn down the plant of the T. W. Gur- ley Company, Weimer’s rival in busi- ness. This plant was destroyed by fire some months ago. and the loss reached about $10,000. T. W. Gurley decided that the fire was of incendiary origin, and em- ployed detectives to investigate the matter. The result came with the ar- rest of Weimer, who was taken to jail at Somerset, this morning. The detectives allege that they have secured a confession, while some of the prominent people of Mey#rsdale hoot at the idea of such a thing. eimer has lived in Meyersdale more than 20 years, and it is said that his character is above reproach, which is more than can be said of some people who would like to see him ruined.

Why March 4th is Inauguration Day. : There have been many objections raised to the date upon which the Pres- idents of the United States are inaug- urated, chief among them being tke usually inclement weather which pre- vails so early in the spring. The first President Harrison con- tracted the cold which caused his death, soon after he assumed office, at the ceremonies attending his inaug- uration; and anxiety is always ex- pressed lest the unhappy incideni should be repeated. There was a rea- son for choosing that date, however. which few persons have ever heard o! When the day was fixed upon the 4t} of March, it was because that date sel dom occurred on Sunday. But thre: times during our history has the inaug. uration day fallen on that day. Th. first was the second inaugural of Jame: Monroe, the fifth President, March 4, 1821; the second was when Zachar: Taylor was made President, March 4, 1849; the third was the inauguration o: Rutherford B. Hayes, on March 4, 187%. This will happen three times during each century, or one year after ever: seven leap years. Except when pass ing from one century to another, ther: is a slight variation, as will be observec in the following dates of the past anc future inaugurations, of the first tw« centuries of the republic: 1821, 1849 1877,1917, 1945, 1973.—Serap Book. a.
