A Comforting Thought.
Do not look forward to what might
happen tomorrow; the same everlast
ing Father who cares for you today
will take care of you tomorrow and
every other day.
Either He will shield you from suf
fering or He will give you unfailing
strength to bear it.
Be at peace, then, and put aside all
anxious thoughts and imaginations.—
St, Francis de Sales.
Oae Exception.
The Baltimore Sun said recently—
“beauty is a living thing,” and the
Houston (Texas) Post exemplified the
statement by citing “the Houston
girl.”
An electric-car conductor, however,
said the other day that more pretty
girls get on and off the cars at Eck
hart than at any other place on the
line between Cumberland and West
ern port.

Going to Portland.
A dozen members of the Philadel
phia (Pa.) Lodge of Elks will make a
trans-continental automobile trip early
in the coming summer to attend the f
National Convention of their organi
zation in Portland.
Chester P. Ray, a prominent manu
facturer of Philadelphia, is organizing
a party that will leave the Quaker
City early in May and travel leisurely
across the country, stopping at vari
ous towns and cities where Elk lodges j
are located. They will not attempt to t
break speed records, but are deter- i
mined to reach Portland in advance
of the.opening day of the Convention, 1
July 8. The regular contingent of
Philadelphia Elks will come to Port- -
land oh a special train.
Graham Nevins and Lee McCudden,
members of the Vallejo, Cal., Lodge,
are planning an automobile trip from
that city to the convention.
How the Frostburg delegation is
going.has not been determined.
Musical and Judicial Story.
When J. W. Shea, druggist, came "
down stairs one morning early this
week he found an owl in his front
window, east side.
It was already, caged and apparent
ly taking a nap, having, no doubt,
been up nearly all night.
It took Mr. Shea some time to dis
cover that in a night ride to see pa
tients Dr. G. L. Lininger, ornithologist
as well as general specialist, heard
some-vocalist singing a solo—
“ To-who tu-whit to-who?”
Further than this the doctor could i
not differentiate words, but he knows
enough of harmony to affirm that the
notation was perfect, and that the
singer, like a child, had a vibrating .
musical organization. /
He left his buggy, climbed a tree,
and while the owl was looking an
other way he grabbed it, brought it
home, caged and placed it in Shea’s
window while the latter was taking |
breakfast.
“The owl,” says the doctor, “is a
poor bird, but honest, and it was a
shame for Goldsmith to liken it to
Vaugelas, the debt-dodger, who came
out of his nest only at night to avoid
meeting his creditors.”
“But one thing is sure,” continued
the doctor, “whatever the owl may be
as a director of music during the night,
he is a perfect type of a judge of the
uxtreme court during the day.”
Partial Divorce.
Joseph T. Hansel, farmer and Union
ex-soldier, well-known here, tried some
time ago to get a divorce from Mrs.
Mary H. Hansel, but judge R. H. Hen
derson very commendably played the (
role of mediator and endeavored to get
them to “make up” and live together t
again.
Mr. Hansel, it is reported, seemed
glad to accept the good office imposed
upon him and offered to relegate by- £
gones to their proper place in a past
that should be mutually forgotten.
But the madam would not have it (
so. Like “home, dear home,” in the
song, she “never could forget,”
whether rightfully or stubbornly has
not appeared.
Meeting again last Saturday before
the judge, the latter extended another a
invitation to restore in staUi quo ante I
bellum, but in vain. ,
He then granted Mr. Hansel a di- *
vorce a mensa et thoro, which, trans
lated, means permission to live apart.

Hard to attend to household duties
With a constantly aching back.
A woman should not have a bad
back,
And she wouldn’t if the kidneys
were well.
Doan’s Kidney Pills make well kid
neys.
Here is a Frostburg woman who en
dorses this claim:
Mrs. L. C. Michael, Park avenue,
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
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
once. I continued their use until I
was well. In 1907 I publicly recom
mended this remedy, and at the
present time I gladly confirm that
statement.”

Tales of Two Cities.

: way of 100 miles an hour.” In Frost-
L burg it was 106.
A card from C. B. Ryan, Pittsfield,
1 Mass., informs the Jotjrnai, that he
is “stopping here for half an hour. A
nice place, but too far from New
York.” What is worse, it is still far
. ! ther from Frostburg.

Pay Your Debts.
Over at Monessen, Pa., Billy Sun
day, evangelist, recently held a series
of meetings in which he urgently en
joined the duty of each and all to
“pay your debts!”
The gospel thus preached resulted
in good. Not only were debts paid,
but in several cases “money, wrong
fully obtained, was returned to the
losers.”
Delinquents in this respect got an
other jolt last week from the Shaft
correspondent of the Iyonaconing Ad
vocate, who told of an anonymous
rooster-fight in that place last week.
The writer couldn’t give details but
one thing wks known—“if some of
those who lost money on the main had
used it to pay their debts it would have
been more wisely spent.”
It is better to pay your debts than
give to the poor, but as a rule the man
out of debt is most likely to be better
able and more willing to dispense
charity.

The Blessing of Heady Cash!
Promptness in the payment of small debts, as
well as large ones, will contribute at all seasons
to the comfort of everybody, but more especially
now, in the beginning of the year, when there are
few who do not have something to pay or to re
ceive.
i “Money Makes the Mare Go”
i
i is an old proverb, originating very likely on the
turf. It also makes business go in all its depart
ments. Ready cash is the one essential, and when
it circulates freely, from hand to hand, in the dis
charge of obligations is as much of a blessing as
the gentle dew, which descends alike upon the
just and the unjust. Therefore —
“Cash Up”
and help to make each other happy. Blessed are
those who pay promptly, because they in their
turn shall be paid.
