Christmas At The Mountain
Midnight Mass at St. Anthony’s
Begins Church Festivities.
The joy of Christmas will be ushered
in at the mountain with a midnight mass
at 6t. Anthony’s church at 12 o’clock
Thursday night of this week. Prior to
the midnight mass and at 11.45 p m.,
our ever faithful friend Mr. Larry Diehl
man, will be on the hillside playing the
"Adeste” on his flute. ’Tis true, Larry
and hie flute are the first to break the
news of Christmas to the surrounding
community and those attending the mid
night mass.
When asked the other day if he was
going up the hill if it rained, he soon
made this reply: “rain or snow will not
•top me. For 31 years have I been play
ing the flute on Christmas morn at my
parents grave and I shall do so as long
as lam able.” Owing to the fact that
there is no five o’clock mass at St. An
thony, Larry makes two journeys to the
hillside. At midnight he will go to the
big rock north of St. Anthony’s church,
but at four o’clock Christmas morning he
will be heard playing at the graves of
his parents and at the grave of the late
Prof. C. H. Jourdan. For 31 long years
has Larry and his flute been the first to
wish us, one and all, a Merry Christmas, j
His custom, and a beautiful one it is, is
known throughout the far west, and with
pleasure can we say that several far
western papers will this week print ar.
tides pertaining to him.
Studies at the College will resume on
January 7, 1915.
The garlands at St. Anthony’s church
were put up Wednesday.

Raise Fare On Trolley Line
No Ron ml Trip Tickets After
January Ist.
The Hagerstown and Frederick Rail
way Company have published and filed
with the various commissions, tariffs
which eliminates all round trip fares from
all points on its system. This means that
the 60 cent round trip ticket fare from
Thurmont will be discontinued on Janu
ary Ist.
In place of the round trip tickets the
Company will use the 24 coupons for SI.OO
which are sold in book form and will be
on sale on the whole system. This book
of tickets will make the round trip be
tween Thurmont and Frederick a frac
tion over 58 cents for the round trip.
The rate as pr- posed is but a little
more than 1J cent per mile, or slightly
more than one-half what the steam roads
charge per mile and a great deal less
than the charges made usually by inter
urban railroads.
This community should be very thank
ful that we have this up-to-date trolley,
with its frequent service of 8 to 10 trains
each way daily, and no one at Thurmont 1
should complain of these rates of fare,
even if they are slightly advance d.
Everyone knows that the advent of the
W. F. & G. (now the H. & F.) to Thur
mont that it cuts the rate from Thur
mont to Frederick more than 50 per cent,
for it used to take a whole day to make
the trip to Frederick via Keymar at a
cost of $1.45 for the round trip, while the 1
trolley cash fare for the round trip was
but 70 cents, at which it remains today, i
While every one appreciated the 50
cent round trip ticket, the small increase
I will not mean much to any one person
and will stil) afford the railroad a little
needed revenue. The commuter rates
have also been slightly advanced-

Barn Burned.
On Tuesday evening of this week be
tween five and sixo’clock, the small barn
on the property of Mr. Charles Wastler
situated about one mile north of Thur
mont and near the Western Maryland
Railroad, was destroyed by lire.
Mr. Wastler’s sons were at the barn
doing the evening’s work and were using
a lantern. The nail, or whatever the
lantern was hanging on, broke, and the
lantern dropped to the ground and ex
ploded. The hoys tried hard to extin
guish the blaze but finding they would
be unable to do so, turned their attention
to the live stock and succeeded in getting
all from the burning building.
By hard work those who gathered at
the Wastler home saved the house from
being burned.
Mr. Wastler’s home is situated on the
mountain side directly west of Mrs. E.
K. Rouzer’s property, and the blaze could
be seen over a wide territory.

STRUCK NEAR HOME.
A young man of fine appearance,
accompanied by a pretty girl bedeck
ed in war colors, subtle perfume and
a ravishing smile, Imught 1000 Red
Cross Christmas Seals yesterday at
one of the many stores where they
are on sale. As the man paid for the
seals, the frivolous girl remarked
seollingly: “You wouldn’t have
bought those, if your father hadn’t
asked you to do it.” “Oh yes I
would,” he replied earnestly. “Ever
since one of my intimate friends died
of tuberculosis, 1 have lielieved the
light against that terrible disease to
he the most important health move
ment of the day. With more than
1,000,000 persons in the United
States, over 1 person in every 100 is
afflicted, the disease is a menace to
you and me, and everyone of us. I
understand it can be prevented; and
