Greetings from Western Man Who
Mentions Frostburgers Oat West.
Recollectiions of the Old “Burg.”
Ridgefieed, Wash., Sept. 28,1913.
Mr. P. B. Bivengood,
Frostburg, Md.
My Dear Friend: —l got the second
number of The Spirit while I was
contempiating writing to you. It is
fine.
There are a lot of distinguished
Frostburgers in the West. They have
overcome the inertia of conservatism,
which is such a deadly element in
many old eastern sections.
There is a young man in Portland,
Oregon, from Frostburg, who is prom
inent in politics. He was formerly
Fish Commissioner of Oregon, but I
cannot now recall his name.
The W. M. railway ought to put a
lot of new life into the old “burg.”
I walked the 11 miles between Frost
burg and Cumberland many a time
alone and in company. That old pike
is an inspiration. There are a lot of
fine old farms lying near. I remem
ber the immense wagons and big six
and four horse teams with which Mr.
Gorsuch hauled fireclay. The old
Sand Spring—l could see many of the
old scenes again in your pictures of
the Pike.
We are just finishing haying. lam
putting up three silos to fill with corn
ensilage for cow feed.
Today daughter Annie is 20 years
old, and her grandmother Hershberg
er 70. October 7th our eldest son, Will
iam, will be 23. He is going to cele
brate by marrying Miss Grace Bru
baker, a fine Dunker girl. He will
live on our farm of 160 acres adjoin
ing Island Farm.
Silas is showing red chickens at
Oregon State Fair. We are all well
and very busy.
After weeks of fine weather it is
now raining. Grass is abundant, and
no frost yet.
With best regards to Mrs. B. and
the children, as well as yourself, I am
fraternally yours,
H. H. KEIM.
THE FROSTBURG SPIRIT
J AS THE SPIRIT MOVETH j
i
The Sunday Christian and the week
day devil are too often one and the
same person.
r Since the day he began marrying
t couples, Rev. A. H. Burroughs, of
. Bristol, Tenn., has performed the
ceremony more than 1,500 times. He
- has so prospered at the business that
> he has built a hotel especially for
1
. eloping couples, and no doubt he
; harps as much against the divorce
• evil as most preachers who do far less
> in piling up business for the divorce
courts than does this proprietor of a
• hotel for eloping couples.
• “You must not judge a church by
I its members,” is an expression often
heard. To us it seems that the ground
; is not well taken. The membership
: of. any organization is one of the prin
cipal things to be governed by in
forming an opinion of any organized
- body. No stream can be purer than
: the waters that compose it, and no
1 organized body can be better than the
rank and file of its membership. “By
■ their fruits shall ye know them,” and
the fruits of any organization are like
j its membership, good, bad or indiffer
. ent.
EiEE is a song as we journey along
■ —it is a stream of musical flow, when
feeling as good as we think we should,
’ and there’s absence of sorrow and
t woe. The boon of good health is
: greater than wealth; without health
there is nothing worth while; for when
health is gone our joy is in pawn,
though our grief may be hid with a
: smile. Though laden with gold like
’ Midas of old, there’s still much that
. the rich cannot buy, and he that has
health, the greatest of wealth, for
, mere money and gold should not sigh.
' A man who saws wood and knows he
feels good, though toiling and work
-1 ing for wages, is far happier than rich
i folks oft are whether Morgans, Astors
or Sages. So cultivate health and
pine not for wealth, and you’ll seldom
i have cause to complain; for life’s a
sweet song that’s wafted along when
’ divorced from its sorrow and pain.
:
WmfNWvjECR a mush-brained “'.mart
B'src'jY’ aoiiw-.ii Cumberland wants to!
j get real funny by poking fun at Frost
[ ! burg through the Cumberland papers,
which ought to have more sense than
to give space in their columns to the
t hogwash written by such cattle, they
i usually refer to our good old town as
■ “the little place situated on the crest
of the Allegany mountains,” or words
to that effect. Well, it is consider
• ably better to be high up among the
: eternal hills of God, where there is
pure air and pure water, pure thought
, and sturdy vigorous manhood and
lovely womanhood, than it is to be
down in a dismal hole like Cumber
: land, enveloped in fog and compelled
to drink the sewage of this town and
of the other towns and all the mines
: of the George’s Creek mining region.
1 We pity poor old Cumberland, up here
’ in God’s locality, and can easily ac
count for the queer freaks down there
- that sometimes get to working the
slush out of their systems through the
Cumberland papers. They get the
’ Frostburg and George’s Creek sewage
mixed with their booze, and then they
can’t help making fools of themselves
by poking fun at the region that has
given Cumberland nearly all of its
prosperity and wealth. Cumberland
has lots of good and sensiblepeople,
i of course, but they are not the ones
i who get wise in their own conceit and
try to get off “smart” things in the
Cumberland papers about Frostburg
: or citizens of this town.
Sam Simons was a scrappy man
who always wore a frown. He’d tank
himself with old red booze, and then
he’d paint the town. Upon the
shoulders of his frame he’d always
have a chip, and those who dared to
knock it off he’d sail into and whip.
His voice was like a thunder roar and
could be heard a mile; he skinned a
, bail and evil eye, his heart was full
of guile. He had two fists like mas
sive mauls, he weighed about a ton,
: and to pulverize the average man, to
. him was only fun. No matter where
Sam Simons went, he always had a
fight, and the way he’d use his vic
tims up, truly was a fright. But
scrappy Samuel came to grief upon a
! fateful day, when he was roaring
’round the town in his accustomed
way. He had licked about a dozen
men and sought for victims more,
then fell upon a slender jay and tried
, to beat him sore. But this time Sam
. uel met his match, he ran against a
. snag, got licked until he felt as limp
. and limber as a rag. The man who
. did the bruiser up was only half his
weight, and though he was less noisy,
. he fought at rapid rate. He trimmed
Sam Simons up in style and put him
: out of “biz,” he battered up his mas
sive frame and spoiled his manly
“phiz.” And so they always come to
, grief who seek a scrap or row; to
morrow they may get knocked out,
though they are bullies now. Bet
would-be scrappers take a hint while
reading of this lay, and remember
Samuel Simons and the conquering,
slender jay.

SUBSTANTIAL ENCOURAGEMENT.
Cashier Watts Orders Names of Six
Friends Placed on Home Paper’s
Subscription List.
The Spirit has some patrons who
are surely doing their share towards
making the subscription list of the
home paper grow. Quite a number of
our subscribers are paying for one or
two subscriptions besides their own,
and some are paying for more than
that. Heny F. Cook is carrying four
subscriptions to this paper, Roberdeau
Annan, President of The First Na
tional Bank, paid for six before the
first issue was printed, and now comes
Cashier Frank Watts, of the Citizens’
National Bank, and orders six names
besides his own placed on our list.
He orders The Spirit sent to Thomas
Humbertson, the oldest citizen of
Frostburg; Geo. W. Blocher, a prom
inent citizen of Garrett county; the
Otto Frey Company, of Pittsburgh;
Mrs. Charlotte Meager, of Elk Eick,
Pa.; Archibald Evans, of Bonaconing,
and Ephriam Geigher, of R. D. No. 1,
Sand Patch, Pa.
Mr. Watts said while at our office
that no town can afford to be without
a newspaper, especially if it is a town
as big as Frostburg, and added that
the only way any man can build up a
newspaper in Frostburg that will be a
credit to the town, is for the people of
the town to rally to the support of a
home paper.
Mr. Watts is right. It takes more
than hot air on which to build up a
newspaper, and the business men
whose advertisements are found in
the town paper, and who are getting
their printing done at the home shop,
paying for subscriptions, etc., are the
kind of people who contribute to the
general prosperty of the community
and make it a town fit to live in.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR MANY.
Large Number of Checks Will Be
Mailed to Christmas Club Mem
bers by Citizens National Bank.
December 10, 1913, is the date set
by the Citizens’ National Bank on
which that institution will mail over
1,800 checks, aggregating in round
numbers about $40,000. to the deposit
ors in the Christmas Savings Club.
Coming as it does, twp weeks before j
Ur* will "provide-the i
wherewithal by which hundreds of
persons wilt be enabled to enjoy a
merry Christmas and happy New
Year, to say nothing of the lasting
benefit to the derieved through the
moral effect of creating a desire and
forming the habit of laying something
aside for the proverbial “rainy day.”
Old Santa Claus will surely be very
much in evidence this Christmas, and
the seasoned “grouch” will have very
little consolation, because every mer
chant in Frostburg will derive more
or less benefit through the distribu
tion of the tidy sum".
Anticipating the great amount of
labor involved in getting the checks
out ont on time, the Citizens’ Nation
al has already begun active prepara
tion for the interesting event.
The Bank people are very much
elated over the results obtained
through their efforts in helping people
to save, and have already arranged
for a Christmas Club for the coming
year.
Still Looking for His Dog.
John J. Bivengood, of Salisbury,
Pa., who made a fruitless trip to
Midlothian, last week, looking for a
stolen dog, made another trip over
this way, on the same mission, on
Monday of this week. He had reason
to believe that his dog had been taken
to Bonaconing, and so he drove to
Frostburg, going from here to Bona
coning in the hope of locating the
much wanted animal.
The trip, however, was in vain, and
so he returned to Frostburg, stopped
at The Spirit office and subscribed for
the paper for a year, paying in ad
vance for the same. The editor in
sisted on throwing his own faithful
family watch dog into the bargain,
inasmuch as editors never have any
thing of value to watch, anyway, but
uncle John wouldn’t have it that way.
But he was determined to have a dog,
and so he struck a bargain with the
editor’s son John for the family dog
aforesaid. John, Jr., offered to sell
the dog to John, Sr., for a penny, but
the latter went him 49 cents better,
and so the bargain was closed, each
party to the contract being thoroughly
satisfied with the deal, and uncle de
parted in the cool of the evening for
his home, accompanied by the greatest
fighting “dorg” of his yeight that
ever bayed at the moon on Frost ave
nue in Frostburg, U. S. A.
Two More Contributors to Hospital
Fund.
Wesley Boar, of the celebrated
Maplehurst dairy farm, and Edward
C. Willison, of the firm of Willison
Bros., have each contributed this
week to the Miners’ Hospital equip
ment and furnishing fund the sum of
SSO, which was very generous and
commendable. Their contributions
bring the furnishing fund up to $4,600.

Celebrated Its Silver Anniversary.
MOUNTAIN CITY COUNCIL NO. 11, JUNIOR ORDER UNITED AMERICAN
MECHANICS, HELD FINE BANQUET AND RENDERED
INTERESTING PROGRAM LAST WEEK.
Extracts From Speeches Delivered That Show What the Order Stands For,
What It Has Accomplished, Etc.
On Wednesday evening of last week
Mountain City Council No. 11, Junior
Order United American Mechanics,
celebrated an important event in its
history—the 25th or Silver anniversary
of its institution. The program pub
lished in The Spirit’s issue of Sept.
25th, consisting of vocal and instru
mental music, addresses, banquet, etc.,
was carried out in a very able manner,
in Stern’s Hall, which was tastefully
decorated with flags, bunting, etc.
Past Councilor William Hanna was
the presiding officer and principal
EMBEEMS OF THE ORDER.
speaker of the evening. Rev. D. EL
Martin, pastor of the First M. E.
Church, and Rev. Dr. J. N. Beall,
of the First Presbyterian Church,
Broadway, also made addresses. The
speakers were all well received and
brought forth much applause.
Where and When the Jr. 0. U. A. M.
Originated.
The speech by Mr. Hanna was
largely of an historical and statistical
nature, and was, in substance, as
follows:

what was known as the Old Concord
School House, in Germantown, Pa.,
now a part of Philadelphia, and there
organized the first council of the
Junior Order United American Me
chanics. After being organized they
encountered a great many ‘ups and
downs,’ and did not meet with much
success until the year 1868, when the
order took on new life and continued
to increase its membership rapidly.
At the present time we can point with
pride to a membership of nearly 300,-
000 in the United States. <

JOHN SXODDART, FOUNDER OF THE ORDER IN FROSTB URG.
the immortal General George Wash
ington. I am sure he lives today in
our memories as much as he did over
a hundred years ago in the minds of
all true Americans. In regard to
Washington, I cannot express words
more appropriate on this occasion
than were uttered long years ago by a
poet, who penned these inspiring
words:
‘By broad Potomac’s silent shore
The nation’s idol lowly lies.
Art to his fame no aid hath lent,
The country is his monument.’
“Great events in history, as well as
great men, can be traced to small be
ginnings. The great steam power of
the age, with its countless activities
on land and sea, found its inception
thought in the brain of young Watts,
which was stimulated into action by
the movement of the teakettle lid
through the pressure of steam. The
falling of an apple from a tree gave
to Newton’s mind the idea of gravita
tion, and through him it was given to
the world. It is also claimed that the
cutting of a name on the bark of a
tree gave to Guttenburg the idea, and
to the world the developed thought of
the mightiest invention of all ages—
the printing press.
“And it is - equally true of the incep
tion thought that brought into exist
ence the Jr. O. U. A. M., for it was a
pistol shot that stirred the American
heart and gave to this republic our
noble, patriotic organization, which
has the honor of placing the first
American flag upon a public school
building. This was at Mt. Pleasant,
Pa., in 1888, but since that time our
order has had the credit of placing
the flag on nearly all the public school
buildings in the United States.
“Our order was first instituted in
Maryland in 1870, but did not seem to
■ make much progress until 1890, the
membership at that time being only
• 1,600; but since that time, I am glad
’ to say, the order has increased in
i membership to nearly 30,000. So, my
i brothers, with its true American prin
ciples, which should appeal to every
. lover of his country, and with its
1 great moral lessons, there is no or
ganization which has greater oppor
tunities for increasing its membership
and influence than the Junior Order
United American Mechanics.
“Mountain City Council, No. 11, was
instituted October Ist, 1888, it Stan
ton’s Hall, with 29 charter members
composed of young men between the
ages of 16 to 25, and I am sure great
credit is due them for organizing our
’council. Little did they think that
the fruits of their efforts at that time
would be crowned with so much
success.
“But I am sorry we have not the
pleasure of looking into more of their
faces to-night. The greater portiod
of them have answered the final roll
call, and we have been taught to
believe they 7 have taken their station
, in the better world. Those remaining
with us among the charter members
are as follows: John Stoddart, George
Eisel, George W. Stevens, John Eisel,
Ulysses Hanna, William Eisel, D. W.
Kalbaugh and John S. Crow.
“I am sure it is a great consolation
to you members who have the blessing
bestowed upon you to live and enjoy
the pleasure of celebrating the 25th
anniversary of the council you have
the honor of instituting, to see
the membership increase from 29
to nearly 400 strong. It is also a
pleasure to note that our order has
! 2,500 members ,n Allegan.. county
aione.
“Furthermore., this council is listed
among the most active councils in the
state. It has to its credit the honor of
placing the first American flag over
any public school building in the
county, presenting the same to Beall
High School in 1892.
“The idea of holding annual re
unions of the order in this county
was originated by a member of this
council, and later adopted and placed
before the other councils, which ap
proved the plan, and on October 15th,
1898, an association was formed with
Peter McFarland as temporary chair
man, and U. Hanna as permanent
chairman, and arrangements began
for holding the first reunion and
picnic in Frostburg, July 4th, 1899,
which proved a great success.
“My brothers, I am glad to have
the honor of being a member of this
council for 24 years, and also serving as
your treasurer for the past eight years,
during which time I have handled
over $20,000 of your money, and I am
glad to say that not one year of the
past eight have our expenses exceeded
our receipts, but on the other hand we
have had an annual gain in each of
: the past eight years of over S3OO, and
our running expenses for the past
eight years have averaged, annually,
$2,400 for the relief of its members
and their families, in the way of sick
and death benefits, nurse hire j.nd
many other ways, according as differ
ent cases are required, yet the present
worth of your council to-day in real
estate and cash is $5,840.
“In conclusion, my brothers, I am
glad to say that Mountain City Council
has a record for the past 25 ysars of
which each and all of its members
may justly feel proud, and in leaving
here tonight let us resolve to be more
active in the work of our council, and
may the jlears to come show the order
growing in Virtue, Liberty and Pa
triotism.”
Address of Rev. D. H. Martin.
Space forbids the reproduction of
the entire address of the Rev. D. H.
Martin, but following are some ex
tracts from his remarks:
“Your order is the champion of the
public schools and stands for the edu
cation of the masses. The influences
by which the masses of the people to
day are educated are the pulpit, the
press, the Chautauqua, the secular
schools and the home. The public
schools are our proudest educational
possession, because they teach the
fundamentals of education, and by
them the masses of the people are
reached. They are the great univer
sity of the masses, and beyond them
the majority of our people never go.
They are open to all classes.
“We believe in compulsory educa
tion. In a government like ours it is
absolutely essential that every person
be educated, for every citizen is a
ruler, but in a democracy like ours,
there is need of universal education.
Monarchies stand for the education of
classes, democracies for the educa
tion of the masses. We need laws re

quiring the attendance of children of
certain ages at the secular schools,
and we need the enforcement of these
laws. The time is coming when the
matter of the education of our peo
ple will be the business of ourgovern
, ment, and will be handled directly
' from Washington, as other great in
terests of the people are now manag
ed by the Federal government. The
time is coming when our government
will have a department of education,
and that time is not far away, for
* nothing is of more concern than the
education of her people. Then we
shall have a satisfactory solution of
c the various problems that today are
7 worrying the souls of educators and
I all interested in the question of the
1 education of our people.
7 “The secular schools belong to the
- state. They stand for the welfare of
7 the state. Therefore the state has a
s right to call on the people for money
- sufficient to give the people schools
- acceptable in every way. We need a
p longer school year. We need larger
r and better buildings to accomodate
the increasing population. The
s schools of Allegany county need bet
- ter facilities in books and other equip
-3 ment. There is not room enough for
e the children, and a public school
t ought never find it necessary to give
r entertainments to raise money to prop
t erly equip its departments. The poor
3 salaries of teachers in our schools is a
1 disgrace to a rich county like ours.
The schools of our county are crippled
5 for the want-of a few thousand dol
r lars. Fair taxation of rich and poor
1 in the state of Maryland would great
-1 ly increase the amount of money for
3 public purposes. A very slight in
-1 crease in the tax rate would give the
schools sufficient money. The.speak
-3 er holds that church property should
s also be taxed.
, “All who have a hand in the govern
. ment of our secular schools should be
elected by the people. The people
1 should have the power to elect the
j school seperintendents, commissioners
7 and trustees, and not leave it to the
1 power of appointment, for therein lies
e the danger of politics. A change in
2 the manner of getting men to control
9 our schools might not give us any bet
-1 ter men than we have in office how,
3 for so far as the speaker has kno\yl
-7 | edge, ail biglov ei- Tere-. b, - j
first-class men. But the fact remains
1 that election by the people would be
s more in keeping with a democratic
f form of government than the present
r plan of political appointment.
2 “There is more or less criticism of
1 our secular schools throughout the
county. An instructor ill the recent
- institute held for the teachers of Al
-7 legany county, in Cumberland, a few
3 weeks ago, is reported as saying that
1 the public schools have not made
- good, or are a failure. Such was the
, language in the daily press. It was
1 an unfortunate statement, whether
- made actually by the man himself or
t by the papers, for the critics of the
1 public schools were not long in say
-1 irig ‘I told you so!’
', “The public schools are not a fail
ure. On the other hand they are a
2 decided success, and will continue to
s be more so. Those in Allegany
s county with which I am acquainted,
, at Frostburg, Lonaconing and other
I places, have made remarkable ad
-1 vancement in many ways under the
2 present management since I came
1 here four years ago.
2 “Some -time ago a statement was
f made in another part of the county to
1 the effect that the secular schools are .
t Godless. They are far from being
, such. If there is any weakness in
3 the moral influence of the secular
i schools, the reason for it is the elimina
-1 tion of the Bible, for you can’t have a
- system of morals without something
t spiritual behind it, and spirituality is
1 dependent upon the word of God.
Pennsylvania has the Bible in her
1 public schools, and if the state of
1 Maryland lives long enough, it may
f be that she will have it also.”
5 The supper was served by Bills Ice
f Cream Company.
2 The entertainment committee, com
-1 prising William Hanna, Thomas G.
r Jeffries, Thomas H. Morgan, John W.
- Devore, Oscar Crump and Henry F.
Cook, had charge of the program and
all other arrangements.
