The Hagerstown Globe
YESTERYEAR
WITH A DREAMER
How many years ago has it been since
Everly’s Hot Dog stand was located on
the Public Square; do you remember
when no family thought of going home
on Saturday night without a bag of
Ramicotti’s peanuts; ditto: cheese from
Heimel’s; when special trains brought
thousands to Hagerstown during the
week of the Fair; the old Oak Spring
was the coolest place in town on a hot
summer day; when horse-drawn brewery
wagons were a common sight on any
street; when Mulberry street was un
paved and plenty dusty; offices of Bester
the florist, and th: Gas Company in the
Hotel Hamilton building; Hagerstown
and Frederick Railway Station in the
public square, with its large unsightly
tin “awning” ; when merchants displayed
suits and dresses by hanging ’em -a
wire outside the door; the curfew law
which all of us obeyed the first week;
Officers Steve Zeigler and John DPeltz;
the lagerstown Storage Company fire
Haley’s Comet ; taking a pot shot at Lit
tle Heiskell with a ecat rifle purchased
at McKee's Hardware Store; how we
looked forward to Saturday afternoon
when we were given a nickle for a cho
colate soda at Sam Schindel’'s Drug
Store; playing hookie and sp-nding the
dav in the woods (now City Park);
Lefty Russell and Newashie, Cantwell
and Si MacDonald, and other baschall
stars of yesteryear doing their stnff at
Leister’s diamond; taking a Sunday
walk through the country, (now Oak
Hill avenue) : the first automobile ap
pearing on West Washineton strect, sur
rounded by scores of natives, each one
predicting that the contraption would
never replace the horse; when every
father figured his son would do well if
ko started his eareer in a railroad office,
at a cigar-maker’s bench or in a buggy
factory.

How dare she breathe!
A little cough—

HABIT PLAYS A BIG
PART IN OUR LIVES
Future Depends on Habits
Formed During Early
Part of Life
By 8. M. FUNK .
Life is made up of habits, habits of
all kinds, good habits, pure habits, en
nebling, innocent, sincere,enriching, in
spiring habits; habits that thrill, habits
that encourage, habits that make one
courageous, build new life, new hope,
new incentive, new objectives, new pur
poses. Habit makes one great or small,
habits makes one rich or poor in charac
tetr, in learning, in experience, in stand
ards. Habit is a dominating factor in
the life of every individual.
Yes, habit has made you what you
are; habit will make you what you are
to be. Habit is no respector of persons
any moras than death. Habit will make
you great or it will make pou small re
gardl:ss of what you are, who your an
cestors were or what back ground you
may have for a noble life. Habit builds
saints out of the vilest of earth’s popu
lation; it reforms, it regenerates, it eul
tivates; it transforms men of viee into
men of virtue. and men of virtue into
men of viee. It hurls our noblest young
women and yvoung men from wealth into
poverty: it takes them from the high st
rank and sends them to the lowest level
of life,
Habit makes glad hearts for many,
but habit also makes sad and breaks
many hearts. Habit is God’s best
friend and his Satanie Majesty’s worst
enemy ; it is man’s worst enemy and his
Sataniec Majesty’s bost friend. Habit
mayv be our best friend’s worst enemy.
Habit has made you what you are, but
vou may determine what habit will have
vou be in the future. The habits that
have made you what you are may haves
been formed out of an environment over
which you had no control, hut now it is
diffrent, you may scleet the habit that
will make the environment that will
rule your life and decide your destiny.
It would be well for us to look into
our habits. Let us reiect from our
lif+ those that are destructive: let us
build others that are ruling factors in
what the worth-while life should be.
Tt will be wll for you to learn what
hobit has done for men and women of
th~ past: and what it will do for men
and womon of the future. Tam leaving
with vou the question: What will habit
do for you, for your future? Will it
tuild for wou suecess or will it ecause
vou to fail?
DEFINITION OF A FRIEND
A friend is someone who knows all
about you and loves you just the same.

A PESSIMIST
A pessimist is one who ean never see
the good in anyone, but never fails to
find the bad. Like an owl—he is ra
diant in the dark but lost in the light.

DISAPPOINTMENT
We can imagine the disappointment in
Williamsport when President Roosevelt
put thumbs down on the IPotomac Valley
