ties in the name line by which children
are all too frequently encumbered
with.

Last Thursday evening the Lutheran
parsonage was the scene of a happy
gathering, which came in the nature of
a surprise to the pastor’s wife, Mrs. L.
P. Young. The event was in honor of
Mrs. Young's birthday, and the hostess
was the recipient of many useful pres-
ents and kind wishes. The affair was
arranged for by the Ladies’ Aid Society
and choir of the Lutheran church, and
was participated in by nearly fifty
guests. Refreshments were served,
and all enjoyed themselves immensely.

A young Chicago drummer was tak-
ing a vacation with his uncle in the
country, and was called upon to ask
the blessing, and not being accustomed
to it, he promptly ‘*‘tackled” the diffi-
culty in the following words: “We
acknowledge the receipt of your favor
of this date. Allow us to extend our
gratitude for this expression of good
will. Trusting that our house may
merit your confidence and have many
orders from you this fall, we are yours
truly, amen.” The old man will say
grace hereafter.

rheumatic pains. Accept no substitute.
We sell and recommend them. E. H.

A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
Fuller, who had been visiting at the
home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and
Mrs. Robt. Cochrane, died of spinal
disease, at the Cochrane home, last
Sunday. Deceased was aged about 15
years. The remains were taken to
Grantsville, Monday, for interment,
but of the funeral service we have re-
ceived no report. Deceased had her
home with her grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Bowser, who reside just
across the Pennsylvania and Maryland
line, about 2 miles south of Salisbury.
“My three year old boy was badly
constipated, had a high fever and was
in an awful condition. I gave him two
doses of Foley’s Orino Laxative, and
the next morning the fever was gone
and he was entirely well. Foley's
Orino Laxative saved his life” A.

Our friend Wm. D. Miller, late a
citizen of Elk Lick township,has moved
to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and
orders THE STAR sent to his new ad-
dress. He was in THE STAR office a
couple of months ago, at which time he
apprised us of his intended move. He
does not state in his letter what he in-
tends to follow where he is now located,
but if our memory serves us right he
stated on a former occasion that he
would engage in the “truck” farming
business. Well, we wish him lots of
success, anyway, at whatever he may
engage in.
How can any person risk taking some
unknown cough remedy when Foley's
Honey and Tar costs them no more?
It is a safe remedy, contains no harm-
ful drugs, and cures the most obstinate
coughs and colds. Why experiment
with your health? Insist upon having
the genuine Foley’s Honey and Tar.

The Wisconsin girl who advertised

only thirty days, and then went back
to single blezssedness. Another blow to
Mail order
mates are proving unreliable right
along. It is easy to send a pretty pic-
ture and write nice letters, just as it is
easy to make a pretty picture in the
catalogues of goods not worth two
cents, and write a nice description of
them. The mail order goods seldom give
satisfaction.
‘This is the most dangerous time of
the year to catch cold, and it is the
hardest time to cure it. If you should
take a cold, a few doses of Kennedy's
Laxative Cough Syrup will act very
promptly. Its laxative principle cures
the cold by driving it from the system
by a gentle but natural action of the
bowels. Children especially like Ken-
nedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup, as it
tastes so good, nearly like maple sugar.
It is sold by E. H. Miller. 4-1
Our friends Samuel A. Beachy, John
W. Ringler and “Zach” Wagner have
our thanks for an invitation to visit
the Beachy sugar camp and indulge in
a good fill of that most delicious ot all
sweets, maple taffy. Messers. Ringler
and Wagner are operating Mr. Beachy’s
camp, this season, and as all three of
the men from whom our invitation
comes are noted for treating their
guests handsomely, we'll be sure to
visit the camp if: we can possibly find
time before the season is at an end.
In this issue of THE Star Mr. Beachy
advertises the fact that he is agent for
the celebrated Dr. P. Fahrney remedies,
and those in need of medicine will do
well to try them. The Fahrney rem-
edies made the owner of the formulas
a fortune of over $3,000,000, on their
merits, yet, for reasons best known to
himself, Dr. Fahrney would never al-
low his valuable remedies to be sold
by the drug trade. The remedies can
be procured only through authorized
agents.
Are Eggs Legal Tender?
The delicate question, Are eggs legal
tender? was raised in the local post-
office recently. A rural mail carrier
found in a box on his route an un-
stamped letter and two eggs to pay the
postage. Eggs are now worth two
cents each,so there was two cents
change due the writer of the letter.
The matter is still under consideration.

Funny Boys or Funny Girls, Which?
The Belvidere Bulletin says a young
fellow of that town was seen walking
along, the other night, with his arms
around two girls. Funny boys, down
there. Up this way the fellows
wouldn’t give a snap of their finger to
hug more than one girl at a time.—
Carleton (Neb.) Leader.
Perhaps the Belvidere girls are fun-
pier than the Belvidere boys. Some
girls can’t stand a good hug, and there
are several:'brands of girls that it would
require more of than a bunch of two to
make a good hug. There is just as
much difference between some girls
and other girls as there is between
Belvidere and Belva dear.
Three Meyersdale Men Arrested
for Rowdyism on a Train.
For raising a disturbance on train
No. 15, Walter Tressler, P. 8. Gows and
Stephen McClintock, all of Meyers-
dale, were arrested yesterday after-
noon by Captain P. Moran, of the Bal-
timore & Ohio police force. The men
were turned over to Constable I. P.
Crossland, who made information
against them before Justice of the
Peace W. P. Clark, and had them com-
mitted to jail for court.
The men, it is said, were intoxicated,
and almost created a riot on the train.
It was necessary for Captain Moran to
use his mace freely before the pugna-
cious spirits of the trio could be sub-
dued.—Connellsville Courier.
The Encampment.
Asan advance guard of the coming
encampment, Majors W. H. Corrin and
J. M. Reed, of General Willis J. Hunt-
ing’s staff, came to Somerset last week
to “take in the lay of the land” which
later in the summer will be used as the
camp for the Second Brigade, Pennsyl-
vania National Guard. Beside this bri-
gade it is expected that a company of
Uncle S8am’s regulars, will go into camp
here at the same time, July 27th., so
that the militia may profit by the ex-
perience of the presence of the United
States troops. The Brigade consists of
about 5,000 enlisted men, and officers;
this includes two batteries of artillery,
and three troops of cavalry.
The plans now include the coming of
Governor Stuart and his staff, who will
remain during the encampment week
and most likely establish headquarters
at Highland Inn.—Somerset Democrat.
A RELIGIOUS AUTHOR’S STATE-
MENT.
Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salisbury,
N. C.,who is the author of several
books, writes: “For several years I
was afflicted with kidney trouble, and
last winter I was suddenly stricken
with a severe pain in my kidneys and
was comfined to bed eight days, unable
to get up without assistance. My
urine contained a thick white sediment
and I passed same frequently, day and
night. I commenced taking Foley's
Kidney Remedy,jand the pain gradu-
ally abated and;finally ceased, and my
urine became normal. I cheerfully
recommendjFoley’s Kidney Remedy.”

SAVE THIS, ANYWAY.
Put It in Some Safe Place, for it
May Come in Handy Some Day.
Here is a simple home-made mix-
ture as given by an eminent authority
on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement that it will relieve almost
any case of Kidney trouble if taken
before the stage of Bright’s disease.
He states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain in the side, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; painful
and discolored urination, are readily
overcome. Here is the recipe. Tryit:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking well in a bottle. This mix-
ture has a peculiar healing and sooth-
ing effect upon the entire Kidney and
Urinary structure, and often overcomes
the worst forms of Rheumatism in just
a little while. This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure
the Rheumatism by forcing the Kid-
neys to filter and strain from the biood
and system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which cause
these afflictions. Try it.if you aren’t
well. Save the prescription.

A GREAT EVENT.
Getz Holds His Own in Llvely La-
trobe Fight.
Joe Getz, of Johnstown. easily held
his own in a six-round bout with Young
Ziringer, of Pittsburg, in the Showalter
Theatre at Latrobe, Monday night.
The entire exhibition was marked by
fast and clean work.
The bout between Getz and Young
Ziringer was fast and clean. The first
two rounds showed the Pittsburg boxer
at best advantage, but in the third and
fourth rounds, Getz evened up by ex-
cellent work. The last two rounds
were about even.
This same Joe Getz will appear in
Meyersdale, in the Donges Theatre, on
Saturday night, March 27th, to box six
rounds with Beaty Hammond, cham-
pion lightweight boxer of Ohio, who
has the reputation of being fast, and
claims he will show Joe Getz a few
points he has never known. Besides
this main bout, which will take place at
10:15, there will be several prelimi-
naries in point of attractiveness. Seats
will be on sale a few days ‘in advance,
at Thomas’ drug store. Jack Phenicie,
the well known boxer of Somerset
county, will referee the boxing show.

David Kelso Dead.
David, the eldest son of the late
Bishop Jonathan Kelso, who resided
many years on the farm now occupied
by John M. Wright, near Boynton, this
county, died at his home in Carleton,
Neb., last Friday or Saturday. De-
ceased was President of The State
Bank of Carleton, and his wife, who
survives him, is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel S. Miller, of Somerset, Pa.
David Kelso was born and reared in
Elk Lick township, but moved to Ne-
braska with his father and brother Ed-
ward more than 20 years ago. His
mother died in Elk Lick many years
ago, and his father died at an advanced
age about two years ago. The father
was for many years Bishop of the
Elk Lick congregation of the Church of
the Brethren.
The subject of this sketch died very
suddenly and unexpectedly. He had
a slight attack of what was believed to
be tonsilitis, but the malady did not
seem to be in a severe form, and Mr.
Kelso kept right on attending to his
duties at the bank. His friends were
greatly shocked, therefore, when he
was found dead in bed a few morn-
ings after his throat became sore.
Whether death was due tothe sore
throat or some other cause, is a matter
which can only be guessed at.
Mr. Kelso’s many old-time friends
in and about Salisbury will be very
sorry to learn of his death. He isan-
other one of the editor's old school-
mates who has answered the last
summons.
Do Ministers Lack Courage?
A few ministers, in different parts of
the county, have mustered enough
courage to ask the ladies to remove
their hats in church, and this leads an
exchange to remark that while this is
heroic, the brave gentlemen may not
know there is more behind the big hat
business than the disgusted gentlemen
on the back seats. It says: These
dreams of the milliner’s art may cover
a multitude of “rats” that have not
been sufficiently caged for exhibition,
and to ask a woman, without previous
notice, to uncover a nest that has been
insecurely built, is too much like a
hold-up. Why not ask the ladies mere-
ly to tilt their aeroplanes as they had
to in order to pass through the church
door?—Ex.
