Rhymes and Rhyming.
I like such words as “wish” and
“dish”—
Such rippling' expletives as “Pish !”
Because they rhyme so well with
“fish.”
—Baltimore Sun.
For me such words as “rice” and
“price,”
Or some such phrase—“aint it nice ?”
Because it rhymes so well with “ice.”
—Los Angeles Express.
For me such words as “think” or
“clink,”
Or some such phrase as “have a
drink!”
Because it rhymes with “skating
rink.”
—Milwaukee Sentinel.
For me and mine just “bush” and
“gush,”
Or some such substance as “coosh”
and “tush,”
Because they rhyme with “foosh” and
“mush.”
—lndianapolis Sun.
I like such words as “stork” or “pork,”
Or a fat chick strung on a “fork,”
Because they rhyme so well with
“work.”
—Mine-Workers’ Jonrnal.
I like such words as “broke” and
“smoke
But one can’t “smoke” if he is
“broke
Which is a rhyme, but “aint no joke !”
— Gen. Kear Hosken.
Plays on Names.
Glenn Curtiss went to a public school,
And he studied hard at night
To become expert in penmanship—
But, you should see Wilbur Wright!
Now, there’s “To” Hohing—he sure
can run,
And he always sets the pace ;
But when it comes to sprinting fast
’Cony should see Milton Race !
When strangers come into our good
town
From some points both near and far,
The most of us quickly learn their
names,
But Ed. Donohue they are !
I know a young man who bought some
cows
When town milk began to soar ;
And while the price still goes up—
His good milk is always Loar!
A certain party who lost a mare,
Said loud to “Chippy” Gunter—
“At first I thought I would let her go,
But now I’ll let Will. Hunter!”
— Gen. Kear Hosken.
Store Improvements.
The H. B. Shaffer Company has re
cently made some material improve
ments in the up-to-date department
store which the company conducts in
“the growing end” of Maryland’s
mountain metropolis, and the Journal
takes pleasure in briefly noting them.
On the west side of the edifice—the
rear of the room formerly occupied by
the saddlery department, a new office
—lO by 13 feet, has been erected, thus
squaring the building.
The location of this new feature is
ideal. The room is amply lighted,
having the Giesey elevating-pivot
windows, and the softened reflection
which comes from white walls and
steel ceiling. Every convenience and
comfort have been considered and sup
plied in the selection and installation
of modern furniture.
The old office-hall, still maintaining
the old-fashioned fire-place wherein
Frostburg coal glows in season and
still affords warm welcome to visitors,
has been further illuminated by the
addition of a new window and the
walls brightened by new decorations.
This room, arched to connect with the
new millinery parlors, is utilized as
both a reception and trimming room.
The saddlery department is now
located on the east side, used for
many years as the grocery. This
space, long too contracted to accom
modate the constantly growinggrocery
trade, is “just the thing,” however,
for a saddlery and harness-room.
The partitions between the former
millinery and hardware divisions have
been > emoved and all the space appro
priated by the new grocery opera
tions. Re-shelved and re-equipped, a
room extending the entire length of
the building and illuminated from
both front and rear, is all that can be
desired for grocery display and sale.
From the main entrance much of the
merchandise can be fully and plainly
seen through an archway constructed
for that purpose and convenience of
communication.
The west room, formerly occupied
by the saddlery department, is now
exclusively utilized for millinery pur
poses and accommodations. It has
been equipped with attractive cases
and mirrors—all with the special ob
ject of pleasing and promoting the
satisfaction of the fair sex.
These improvements have cost the
company considerable money, but, be
sides subserving good and profitable
purposes, they constitute evidences of
the general popular disposition to en
hance business appearances which it
is pleasant to report.
The Public Health.
The report of the State Board of
Health for September speaks of it as
: “typhoid, or drain fever,” and that
for the month named—
“lt is worthy of emphasis that
typhoid fever easily retains first place
! in the morbidity returns, and second
: place in the mortality returns.”
There were 951 deaths in the State
and 941 births.
There were 87 cases of typhoid fever
in Allegany county.
What to Do in Case of a Forest Fire.
The annual damage caused by for
-1 est fires is enormous.
Last spring the loss in Allegany
. County was over $12,000.
In view of the fact that most of
these fires originate in wilfulness, or
carelessness, attention is called to the
following provisions of the State
Forest Laws :
The law requires that “anyone who
discovers a forest or brush fire not
under the control or supervision of
some person,” shall extinguish it or
report it immediately to the local
Forest Warden or Patrolman. Failure
to do so is punishable by a fine of $lO.
The Forest Wardens, or Forest
Patrolmen for Allegany County, with
their addresses and telephone num
bers, are as follows:
D. C. Llewellyn, - - - - Midland
Telephone Bell, Lonaconing, 53-f
Stephen Llewellyn, - - - - Barton
Telephone Bell, Lonaconing, 13-2
H. S. Krumbine, ----- Gilpin
Patrolman,
Telephone Bell, Cumberland, 805-31
Thomas J. Krumbine, - Cumberland
l Patrolman
G. M. Mayer, ----- Frostburg
Patrolman,
' Telephone, Frostburg, 73-k Bell
D. D. McElfish, - - - Cumberland
Telephone Bell, Cumberland, 815-12
Floyd Stottler, Dawson
Telephone Bell, Keyser, 808-11
L. C. Twigg, ------ Oldtown
In case of fire the local Forest
Warden, or Patrolman, should be noti
fied immediately. The law requires
' that the land-owner, or tenant, on
whose lands the fire is burning shall
do all that he can with the help he has
on his place to control the fire, and
prevent its escape to other lands.
Upon the arrival of the Forest
Warden he will assist the land-owner,
! and if more help is needed he will ob
tain the men and direct their work.
No back-firing is allowed on lands
without the consent of the owner, ex
cept under the direction of the Forest
Warden, who is authorized, by law, to
start back-fires, plow furrows, tear
down fences, (whenever the necessity
arises,) in order to check a fire.
' A strict enforcement of the law will
reduce to a minimum the forest fires
in the county, and it is the duty of
everyone who wants the forest pro
-1 tected from fire to co-operate with,
and assist the Forest Wardens in en
forcing the law and to punish anyone
who violates it.

Foot-Ball Faces.
“An Anxious Parent,” writing in
the New York World last Monday,
asks—
“ Can you surpass for mere brutality
the faces of these football stars, which
I clipped from the World and here in
close, among prize-fighters ? The
poor boy who was killed the other day
by being bent over until his back was
broken —is no one to be tried for his
murder ?
“A young relative of mine confessed
to me that he had never known a sin
gle member of any university eleven
who had left college without per
manent injury. Sometimes it was
“only” the loss of a few teeth or a
slight deafness. These were the least
misfortunes. He himself will limp for
life on a broken knee-cap. This boy
was a famous fullback on the vic
torious team of a great university.
He told me that although the trainers
did not countenance the practice, ac
tual fighting, kicks, blows of the fists,
knees, elbows, were the rule in every
game, and he added that any player
who could “put out” a good man of
the opposing team without being
caught was considered a valuable
asset to his own side.”
Outside of the unquestionable dan
gers of the game, what parent wants
his or her boy to acquire a foot-ball
face and countenance ?
The Journai, saw “the faces of
these foot-ball stars,” to whom “An
Anxious Parent” alludes, and was im
pressed with the idea at the time that
they looked more like prize-fighters
than candidates for the law or the
ministry.
Progress.
Work on the Great Savage tunnel
of the Western Maryland Railroad ex
tension is nearly completed. Only
about 125 more feet of the heading to
drive. The bench is worked up to the
air locks and concreting has been
commeuced on the west end.

STREETT’S
Mother’s Bread
VERSIFIED
Frostburg-’s poet-laureate tasted it during a moment of com
munion with his Muse, and, while yet reeking with inspiration, he
wrote the following tribute to it for us:
The Whiteness and the Lightness and the pure Rightness of our Bread
Make it a general favorite wherever folks are fed;
If you will try a loaf to-day,
No more will we insist,
For we know that then we’ll have you
On our regular list.
For its flavor and its savor will find favor that is sure;
It makes friends every day because it’s strictly fresh and pure.

The New Station.
Work on the new Western Maryland
Railroad station for Frostburg began
last Monday under the direction of
Olin Gerlach, of this place, contractor.
It will be a substantial, spacious and
architecturally-attractive brick edi
fice, hard-wood finish inside, and
equipped with modern accessories to
comfort and convenience—an up-to
date railway depot in all modern re
spects, and the largest between Cum
berland and Connellsville.
It will cost $14,000 and the contract
requires Mr. Gerlach to complete it by
March 20th, next year.
The environment will also be beau
tified by brick paving, railing and
floral adornments.
That the new road people are tak
ing much interest in pleasing the peo
ple of Frostburg is apparent in
several recent out-givings.
Misleading Language.
“Say, Holt,” I said to Hitchins one
day last week, “did you know that the
drummer of the Ariou Band had been
fired ?”
“No, I didn’t !” exclaimed Holt.
“Well, he has been. At the last
rehearsal George Vogtman handed
the drum to J. Melody Dennison and
told him to ‘beat it!’ ”
— Gen. Kear Hosken.
Former Frostburg Pastor
Doing Well.
The Congregational Church mem
bership at Chester, N. J., recently
tendered the pastor—Rev. J. Lewis
Evans, and family, a reception at the
parsonage, and, among other nice
things, left a purse containing nearly
SIOO. The membership and congrega
tion seem to appreciate Rev. Mr.
Evans’ work. Both have grown in
number since he assumed the pastor
ate, and he has persuaded them to add
about $1,300 to the value of their
church property.

Doan’s Kidney Pills make well kid
t neys.
j Here is a Frostburg woman who en
dorses this claim:
Mrs. L. C. Michael, Park avenue,
1 Frostburg, Md., says: “For years I
suffered from disordered kidneys.
There was a severe pain in my arms
and shoulders and often my hands
■ and limbs were swollen. I had nervous
l headaches and my kidneys were dis
ordered. The kidney secretions were
unnatural and caused me no end of
annoyance. Seeing Doan’s Kidney
Pills advertised, I gave them a trial
; and they improved my condition at
a once. I continued their use until I
was well. In 1907 I publicly recom
-1 mended this remedy, and at the
present time I gladly confirm that
statement.”

Scholastic.
“Prof. William H. Gatehouse, prin
f cipal of the Kitzmiller public school,”
s says the Oakland Democrat “attended
a the West Virginia teachers’ institute,

Y some helpful suggestions.” The pro
fessor and Mrs. Gatehouse were guests
• of relatives here several days of last
1 and this week. They have many
friends here also who are always glad
to see them.
