Nearly Ready for Use.
The Western Maryland’s Great

being laid up to entries, a single track
through the tunnel will complete the
road to Connellsville, Pa. In about
six weeks, it is believed, trains will be
running through.
Reminiscences.
Charlie Ryan writes that “Erostburg
boys of the early 80’s used to poke fun
at Cooper Hitchins when he amused
himself making doll-clothes. Cooper,
however, stuck to his fancy, and now
holds the poker at the end farthest
from the prod. Lillian, by the way,
is ‘some doll.’ ”
Some Mistake Here.
A traveling preacher from the west,
when near Erostburg, was overtaken
by a horse-back rider who asked the
strange preacher where he was going.
“I am going to Heaven !” said the
preacher.
“You are on the wrong road,” said
the horseman; “this road leads to
Frostburg—a different direction ; turn
around, brother, and go up the road.”
.— Philip's Boy.
It isn’t often that “a traveling
preacher” is “overtaken by a horse
back rider” who knows that Grants
ville—not Erostburg, is on the road to
Heaven.
Home, Sweet Home.
She had a voice like a siren, and
when she sang—
“ Mid playsure, sand palaces, tho
weam a rome,
Be it averse oh wum bull there snow
play sly comb,”
And so on to the conclusion, there
wasn’t a dry high-brow in the audito
rium.—United Presbyterian.

man.

interesting publication.
A German Allegory.
On a recent trip to Germany Dr.
Harvey Wiley, the goverment’s pure
food expert, heard an allegory with
reference to the subject of food adul
teration which he contends should
cause Americans to congratulate
themselves that things are so well or
dered in this respect in the United
States.
The German allegory was substan
tially as follows:
Four flies, which had made their
way into a certain pantry, determined
to have a feast.
One flew to the sugar and ate heart
ily, but soon died, for the sugar was
full of white lead.
The second chose the flour as his
diet but he fared no better, for the
flour was loaded with plaster of Paris.
The third sampled the syrup, but
his six legs were raised in the air, for
the syrup was covered with aniline
dyes.
The fourth fly, seeing all his friends
dead, determined to take his life, also,
and drank deeply of fly-poison, which
he found in a convenient saucer.
He is still alive and in good health.
That, too, was adulterated.
Front Foot and. Side Foot.
The people of Baltimore have car
ried the “assessment” fad so far that
the charge for water supply is based
upon lot frontage.
Of course, this disgusts many peo
ple, among them Henry Edward War
ner, of the Sun, who writes in that
paper of Tuesday:
“A butcher would make an awful
hit if he charged for his meat on the
basis on which Baltimore charges for
water.
“For instance, a man in a 12-foot
front house would pay 20 cents a
pound; IS feet, 23 cents a pound; 20
feet, 26 cents; 25 feet, 30 cents, etc.
“Same meat, same pound, same
butcher!”
But if a man happened to live on a
corner-lot the price for meat on the
longer side would be cut down to an
average, of 4cents a pound per foot. |

Frostburg Citizens Gladly Testify and
Confidently Recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills.
It is testimony like the following
that has placed Doan’s Kidneys Pills
so far above competitors. When peo
ple right here at home raise their voice
in praise there is no room left for
doubt. Read the public statement of
a Erostburg citizen:
Mrs. John Wagus, 153 Bowery street,
Erostburg, Md., says: “During the
fifteen years that I suffered from kid
ney complaint, I tried a great deal of
medicine but nothing gave me relief
until I took Doan’s Kidney Pills. I
had headaches and dizzy spells and
felt so weak and nervous that my life
was almost a burden. My back ached
terribly and the doctor’s medicine did
not help me in the least. When I read
how Doan’s Kidney Pills were curing
other people of similar troubles, I
began their use. They improved my
condition so greatly that I publicly
recommended them, and at this time
I can again speak in their praise.
Another member of my family has
also taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and
considers them the best kidney medi
cine he has ever known of.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

States.
Remember the name—Doan’s—and
take no other.
A Promising Youngster.
“The Bentztown Bard,” in the Bal
timore Sun says—
“ Our little son Jeems can now speak
three languages—English, Anne
Arundel and comic supplement.”
If he inherits the “poetic,” as he
should, he will be a polyglot quartette.
A Coming Age.
All this world is heavy with the
promise of greater things, and a day
will come—one day in the unending
succession of days—when beings, be
ings who are now latent in our
thoughts, will stand upon this earth as
one stands upon a footstool and laugh
and reach out their hands amidst the
stars H. G. Wells.

The Blessing of Ready 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.
“Money Makes the Mare Go”
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.
