Young man, don’t depend too much
on others. Remember that every lob
ster has to grow his own shell.
The fellow who imagines himself
the “flywheel of the works” is often
only a fly or some other pestiferous
insect upon it.
The professional sport is about the
most detestable microbe in the world,
even though he be the most gaudy of
human insects.
The Frostburger who has the proper
Frostburg spirit within himself, will
have the paper bearing that suggest
ive name in his home.
In spite of all the mean things that
are said about the devil, no one can
justly accuse him of not attending to
his own business.
What’S the use of “busting” a
fruit if you can’t trust the “bust,” as
is often the case ? Anyway, there’s
many a bust that’s a padded sham, to
say the least.
The man or woman" who marries for
money, is a fool ; but no sensible per
son will let money stand in the way of
marriage, if all other things to be con
sidered are favorable.
Few objects ar< more pitiable in I
this world than degenerate sons or 1
daughters of UUisfvLo.us. ■kwc-cife/:■es
pecially when the degenerates want |
to travel on the reputation of their j
ancestry.
When a youth in knee breeches be
gins sucking the deadly coffin nails
(cigarettes) he is taking his first step
toward ending his career as a livery
stable chambermaid or a mopper of
bar-room floors.
Every youth should be taught not
to be afraid of doing more than he
gets paid for. It should be drilled in
to him that folks who never do more
than they get-paid for, never get paid
for more than they do.
Don’t be a microbe, be a man.
Take your home paper and pay for it
in advance. Don’t make a business
of reading somebody else’s copy of
the home paper. Be loyal to the home
paper, which is the duty of every good
citizen.
Some people who belong only to
the “snobocracy” imagine themselves
members of the aristocracy. Even if
they were not mistaken they would not
amount to half as much as they imag
ine. Those who Work and never shirk,
no matter how humble the occupation,
are, after all, the salt of the earth.
In the Argentine Republic they
have a law to prohibit the killing of
very young calves, and no female
cattle dare be slaughtered under the
age of five years. We need that kind
of a law in this country, and we need
it badly. That kind of a law would
in a few years bring down the price of
beef and dairy products, and at the
same time do away with a big lot of
veal that is unfit to eat.
Self-Esteem is a valuable trait
to possess. Without a considerable
amount of it, no man ever rose to
prominence. However, self esteem
without brains, makes many people
ridiculous. But with all that may be
said along this line, the lack of self
esteem, self-confidence, or self-con
ceit, if you prefer the latter term,
keeps people from achieving greatness
than any other thing that can be
named.
Oh, what’s the use to swear and
“cuss” when things don’t go quite
right, and rip and roar and storm and
fuss when it don’t help a mite ? ’Tis
better far to bear our woes without a
snarl or whine, than rant until we
burst our clothes and with the grumb
lers shine. The “bellyacher” makes
us sore, we take no stock in him, for
everywhere he is a bore, a croaking,
weary “Jim.” Show me the man who
grins and bears when trouble comes
hiswwa r , and I’ll show you the man
who fares the best from day to day.
The man who looks out of a car win
dow of a Western Maryland Railway
coach as it emerges froth the east end
of Big Savage Tunnel, and gazes
upon the beautiful mountain scenery
to the eastward without being moved
to intense admiration, has no poetry
in his soul, and, like “the man who
has no music within himself, nor is
not moved with concord of sweet
sounds,” is fit for treasons, strate
gems and spoils.” In the language
of Shakespeare, “let no such man be
trusted.”
Some time ago a Pennsylvania man
and woman who looted a private bank
and fled from-the state with a lot of
money belonging to their creditors,
were recognized and arrested through
the woman’s fondness shown in pub
lic for her pet dogs, of which she had
a number that she kissed and caress
ed to the utter disgust of all who be
held her Very disgusting osculation.
A poodle or pug and a fool woman’s
“mug” oft lead to flagrant abuses;
but when they ensnare a much want
ed pair, it proves that all things have
their uses.
About the moat in brother’s eye,
rave not in angry tone; remember ere
you make outcry, the beam that’s in
your own. Hold not your brother up
to scorn, nor alwaj 7 s cry him down,
nor in his pathway be a thorn, nor al
ways on him frown. Perhaps he is as
good as you; perhaps he is as kind;
perhaps he is a man as true as any
one can find. As model man he may
not pose, religion not profess, yet may
be better far than those who at his
motives guess. The men who make
such loud pretense of freedom from
all sin, are men whom men of good
sound sense will ne’er put much trust
in. The Pharisee who much self
praise addessed to God on high, was
criticised for his vain ways—the scrip
tures tell us why. So at the moat in
brother’s eye, rave not in angry tone;
remember ere you make outcry, the
beam that’s in your own.
Dick Dobbins was a dippy “dub”
who used much deadly dope; buf he
was papa’s office “sub,” his mama’s
pride and hope. He had no con
science and no mind, for he did use
cocaine, and on his fingers you could
find that nasty yellow stain. He’d roll
and puff a cigarette five hundred times
a day, and doubtless he is smoking yet
since he’s been, laid away. His par
ents thought to fame he’d climb, be
cause they had some “mun,” and to
them Dickie looked sublime because
he was their son. They pampered
him and spoiled the youth—he always
had his way—and Dickie never told
the truth nor worked a single day. A
hanger-on he grew to be, his eyes
grew bleared and red, yet his fool
parents couldn’t see the nothing in his
head. But Dickie couldn’t stand the
pace, so cuddled up and died; the
dope he used did win the race, and
gone is mamma’s pride. Such
“dippy dubs” how oft we see! We
,ee them ev’ry day, and you can take
it, friends, from me, they all go Dick
. .
:,Kiway. , _
Don’t be a foppish, idle sport, nor
waste and squander time, for idlers
are a worthless sort, and idleness
breeds crime. Don’t be afraid to go
to work, though small may be the
pay, and if your task you never shirk,
you’ll see a better day. The man
who works and piles up wood, and
hasn’t much to say, will soon be far
ing pretty good, and drawing better
pay. But those who only live to sport,
as though work was a crime, quite
often find their rations short, their
“duds” without a dime. And then
they whine and beg and bum, when
spent is all their wealth, while looking
sour, looking glum, and broken down
in health. Sometimes they work in
liv’ry barns, or mop the bar-room
floor, and make you sick with “hard
luck” yarns, yea, make you sick and
sore. And while they yawp and blink
and stink, some whom they once
scoffed at, will give to them the
merry wink while living rich and fat.
Now, here’s the moral of this lay:
Young man, you’ll sure make good, if
you don’t idle time away, say nothing
saw wood.
The Spirit office is admirably lo
ated. It is not only very close to
two churches, but is also between two
liquor saloons, one in front, on the
opposite side of tjie street, and one to
the rear, fronting on another street.
Eocated as it is, The Spirit can get
mixed up with almost any other kind
of spirits without much effort. Any
way, the arrangement is all-fired
handy, for the editor can go the front
way for his booze, while his two pro
hibition employes, Henry Cook and
Charley Rodda, can scoot in at the
back door at Eapp’s place and lap up
a pail of Pilsener before anyone can
catch on. However, we hardly think
there is danger of The Spirit force
imbibing enough Pilsener or “Under
holt” spirts to bring on Democratic
symptoms and cause the paper to
change its politics. Yet, who knows
what may happen? Our shop is also
within a few yards of two automobile
garages, and there is ground euough
back of the office to start a private
graveyard, after the plan of the
“Arizona kicker.” Overhead we have
an opera and dance hall, and a wire
less telegraph and airship station, we
understand, is soon to be built where
the Price plumbing shop now stands,
not 40 feet from our front door. Tru
ly we are located in the industrial and
spiritual center of the city, especially
the spiritual article, which can be had
at various prices by the pint or quart.
Another murder came to light last
Sunday that is fully as revolting in its
nature as that committed by Preacher
Richeson, which is still fresh in the
minds of practically all the people in
the United States. This latest high
crime committed in ministerial circles
by a so-called man of God, was the
fiendish work of Hans Schmidt, a New
York Roman Catholic priest, whom
certain newspapers refer to as “Rev.,”
“a noted divine,” etc. It’s an open
question whether any mortal man is
worthy to wear the title of ‘ ‘Reverend, ’ ’
which means something to be revered,
and it’s a dead sure thing that such
titles as “Rev.” and “divine” do not
fit red-handed murders, no matter
whether they are preachers, priests or
criminals who have founded churches,
of which we could name some noted
examples. Murderer Hans Schmidt
confessed last Sunday that he killed
and virtually carved to pieces Anna
Aumuller, a young woman 21 years old,
a devotee of his faith, whose confi
dence he had to such an extgnt that
he performed a fake marriage cere
mony in which he and his victim were
the contracting parties. The girl was
about to become a mother, and to hide
the disgrace from his church and the
world, the priestly scoundrel killed
her, cut her body to pieces and threw
it into the Hudson river, where some
of the pieces were found. Eater his
conscience troubled him so that he
made a confession of his crime, and
the reason given for the awful crime
was that he killed the girl “because
he loved her, because she was good
and pure, in fact too good to live,”
and because they could not live with
each other as man and wife on account
of his duties to his church. Strange
reasoning, indeed, but on a par with
that usually produced by red-handed
murderers who have been posing as
sky-pilots and later found to be “ra
vening wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Schmidt is 32 years old, and such
fiends as he and Preacher Richeson
deserve a hell about 32 degrees hotter
than any ever painted by any ortho
dox priest or preacher, and they’ve
painted some intensely hot ones, and
some of them have even made some
intensely hot ones here on earth,
where there seems to be plenty of heil
at tlfe best, even among those who
make loud professions and stand in
the synagogues and pray, thanking
God that they are not as other men
are.
A GOOD DEMOCRAT.
The Oakland Democrat last week
made mention of a man by the strange
name of Smith, (or did we hear that
name before?) who, according to said
paper, was accidentally elected to Con
gress on the Democratic ticket,lastfall,
in the Fifth Maryland district. Con
gressman Smith is further accused
of not having voted five Democratic
tickets in twenty years. Now, that’s
what The Spirit calls a pretty good
Democrat. A Democrat who doesn’t
vote the Democratic ticket more than
about one-fourth of the time is blam
ed near as good as a Republican.
THE SINCEREST FLATTERY.
It is said that imitation is the sincer
est flattery, and now comes the South
Fork (Pa.) Record and accuses Editor
Ccynrat'n,' of the Join. Von Leader, and [
Editor McGuire? of the Qambria |
Freeman, of imitating the editor of j
this paper in his style of dealing out
cold, hard truths that make offenders
squirm. That is a complment indeed
to the dispenser of “the gospel ac
cording to Peter,” for be it known
that Editor Conrath is recognized as
one of the ablest newspaper writers
in Western Pennsylvania, a region
that has more able editors than any
other equal area on earth. McGuire
is also a forceful and able writer, but
here is what the South Fork Record
has to say:
“For the sake of Editors McGuire
and Conrath, of the Cambria Free
men and Johnstown Header, respect
ively, Editor P. E. Eivengood should
have decided to cast his lot in this
county instead of Maryland. Both of
the editors have been trying hard to
imitate Pete’s tactics and steal his
thunder, but it is evident- that they
both need a little more instruction be
fore they can publicly tell each other
thruths like unto the “gospel accord
ing to Peter. ” Still they are progress
ing.
GIVE THE PAPER A CHANCE.
From the Oakland Republican.
“We presume there never was a
newspaper in any locality that gave
all the local happenings. It is often
that Someone goes or comes that the
reporter did not see. It happens that
the family is missed several times.
They get the impression that the edit
or does not care to mention them.
This is a mistake. In most country
towns the local work is the hardest
work connected with a newspaper. A
man may be a good editorial writer,
but a flat failure in the local work,
and vice versa. Editorial material is
obtained by study, by reading news
papers, sometimes by using scissors.
Persons and local happenings can’t
be read and clipped from papers. It
takes physical as well as mental exer
tion to get out four or six columns of
local news in a town of this size.
Most people take the local paper to
get the local happenings. Don’t be
afraid to tell the editor or the reporter
that you have friends visiting you.
There are lots of people who are inter
ested in your friends. You owe it as
a duty to them to let your friends
know of their doings. Perhaps you
think the paper shows partiality, but
just see if the paper doesn’t treat you
right if you give it a chance.”
Our esteemed Oakland contempor
ary never uttered truer words than
are contained in the foregoing para
graph.
You can’t send an absent friend a
more desirable present than a copy of
the handsomely illustrated Frost
burg Souvenir Book for sale at The
Spirit office, unless you make the
friend a present of a year’s subscrip
tion to The Spirit. Both are worth
several times their cost. tf. j

OSTEOPATHIC 1
§ HEALTH WITHOUT DRUGS §
O The principle of Osteopathy is a method of treating' diseases g
O without Knife or Drugs, and by Scientific Adjusting and Manipu- O
g lating of the Bones, Muscles, Glands and Nerves of the body. The O
q Osteopath normalizes the chemical producing organs and hence g
O does not require medicine to bring about a cure. The results ob- O
g tained by Osteopathy depend wholly upon the scientific application O
q of physiological principles, such as misplacements, enlargements, g
O obstructions or abnormality of bone, muscles or ligaments of this O
g living machine, or some unnatural pressure upon some nerve or g
O blood vessel, which causes pain, heat and friction or, in other g
O , words,-DISEASE. Every pain, every ache, every disease, simply O
6 denotes that the system is out of order somewhere. Every disease g
O is merely the effect of a disturbing cause some place in the human g
O anatomy, and to get rid of this disease the cause must be searched O
g for and removed. This is Osteopath}' in a nut-shell. O
