G. M. Mayer, Forest Patrolman, re
ported to Journal having seen Rong
John Chaney last Monday; that, al

and attended the mining congress and

ent company I will have to stay,” he
said, “until somebody heads the Jour
nal’s campaign for sheep-raising and
woolen manufacture in Frostburg.”

Ely’s Cream Balm has been tried
and not found wanting in thousands
of homes all over the country. It has
won a place in the family medicine
closet among the reliable household
remedies, where it is kept at hand for
- use in treating cold in the head just
as soon as some member of the house
hold begins the preliminary sneezing
j or snuffling. It gives immediate re
lief and a day or two’s treatment will
put a stop to a cold which might, if
not checked, become chronic and run
into a bad case of catarrh.
Saved Many from Death.
W. R. Mock, of Mock, Ark., believes
he has saved many lives in his 25
years of experience in the drug busi
ness. “What I always like to do,”
he writes, “is to recommend Dr.
1 King’s New Discovery for weak, sore
- lungs, hard colds, hoarseness, obsti
nate coughs, la grippe, croup, asthma
or other bronchial affection, for I feel
: sure that a number of my neighbors
: are alive and well to-day because they
took my advice to use it. I honestly
believe it’s the best throat and lung
■ medicine that’s made.” Easy to prove
. he’s right. Get a trial bottle free, or
regular 50 cents or $1 bottle. Guar

In Loving Remembrance
i Of Mary Rephann Hunter, who died
Monday, October 30, 1911.
Farewell, dear Mary, thy life on earth
is done;
. Thy sufferings o’er, thy victories all
are won ;
Thy race complete, thy life with
Christ begun,
And we are left alone !
’Tis sad to know thy gentle spirit’s
fled;
We gaze on thee, and cannot think
thee dead ;
But in our grief our thoughts are
upward led
To know thou art with God.
A daughter dear, a sister kind were
you ;
A wife so noble, and so good and true,
A mother, giving love and service, too,
And O, we’ll miss thee sore !
Thy tiny babe, so lately gone before,
Will welcome thee upon that brighter
shore,
And both will dwell with Christ
forevermore
In Heaven’s blest abode.
We know our loss is thine eternal
gain,
And while our hearts are crushed
with grief and pain,
We hope in Heaven to meet with thee
again
Some day—some blessed day !
A Friend.

FOOT-BALL.
Army and Navy
West Point and Annapolis govern
ment schools for the promotion of war
are training for a collision of weights
and measures.
A newspaper dispatch “gives away”
the naval policy. “Trick plays” and
“forward passes” will be slightly in
dulged, if at all, but “from the make
up of the back field it is clear that a
line-smashing game is to be the chief
reliance.”
If the army adopts the same policy,
somebody is going to get hurt, be
cause if “lines” are like other ma
terial things when it comes to “smash
ing,” all the damage is not going to
be inflicted upon one side.
The Journal is American to the
core, but when it comes to an Ameri
can army and navy contest in a game
as silly and dangerous as football, it
wants both sides licked!
Cumberland vs. Frostburg
Class A, football department, B. H.
S., made Class A, f. d., A. C. H. S.,
Cumberland, look like Class z last
Saturday. The score was 14 to 0,
favor Beall High School rush.
The Journal asked Nick Metzger
what a team had to do in order to
achieve a score of 1.
He said “a score of 1 cannot be
made. The least is a nix.”
Which indicates that there are no
odd numbers in foot-ball, and yet
scores were made last week inscrouge
departments of other schools of 35 to
0 and in one case 123 to 0.
The Serious Side
At Evansville, Ind., one day last
week Miss Irene Butrum was tackled
in a scrouge and had an arm broken.
She was a communicant of a public
school rush team.
Poor little Rouis Ruthy, 15 years
old, a Burlington (111.) school pupil,
died on the 2d inst. from injuries in a
foot-ball scrimmage two weeks before.
Wonder why public-school author
ities permit such sacrifice of the
country’s pupilage?
Died.
At his home in Eckhart Wednesday,
November 8, 1811, Mr. Thomas Peter
son, aged 55 years. He was a Dane
by birth and a resident of Eckhart
about 30 years. Wife, five daughters
and two sons are bereaved.
Buried Here.
The body of Fitzhugh Ree Payne,
of Ridgeley, W. Va., who was killed
Tuesday on the Western Maryland
Railroad, near Cumberland, was
buried in Allegany cemetery yester
day afternoon.
A Thrilling Moment.
It was during an instant’s lull in an
exciting 50-point game of “Majestic”
pool!
Holt Hitchins had just finished the
feat of “running off” the entire reti
nue of 15 balls, including the cue-ball
of the third rack, when Bryson Tucker,
striking a dramatic pose, whispered in
the right-side lobe of Gen. Kear Hos
ken’s left-hand ear—
“ General, why did Miss Q ball?”
In a voice crammed with emotion
and a breath jammed with ingerns the
general replied—
“ Because she saw Holt make a long
cut in the side !”
