FROSTBURG, MD. - - DEC. 11, 1913
{ AS THE SPIRIT MOVETH J
Speculation is a mild form of in
sanity, unless you get an inside tip.
Ancestry, in some cases, has been
traced many miles by officers of the
law.
Reading the market reports makes
many a consumer feel sore, these
days.
Always apply to single men or old
maids for information on how to raise
a family.
Strength comes of a knowledge of
our weaknesses; at least it should be
that way.
Elbert Hubbard truly says: “It’s
tough to be a has-been, but to be a
never-was, is fierce.”
Fifteen minutes late every morn
ing means more than 15 weeks with
out an increase of pay.
An automobile isn’t always a sign
of prosperity. Very often it is a sign
of a mortgaged home, b’gosh! a.ii.n
Dogs are not the'only animals that
should be muzzled. There are just
lots of people that need a gag.
Contentment is the result of en
deavor, in some cases, and in other
cases the result of “down right” lazi
ness.
If j'ou value your own life or a
man’s friendship, don’t spring Chris
tian Science on a fellow with the
toothache.
Self-Confidence is often mistaken
for conceit, and courage for ignor
ance. So, it’s best to fight it out ac
cording to your own convictions.
The fellows who gather around to
watch a dog-fight, are not the men
who read the want “ads.” Such fel
lows never want to be wanted for any
thing useful.
Two Cumberland dudes are report
ed to have hit each other real hard
with snowballs, last Monday. Cum
berland will soon be as rough a town
as Frostburg, at that rate.
A man 100 years old was recently
refused life insurance by an agent to
whom the centennarian had applied
for a policy. What a foolish agent!
Why, there are fewer people die at
the age of 100 than at the age of 25.
The man who hunts for trouble will
find it by the peck, and will wind up
like a bubble and get it in the neck.
He’ll get it for his meanness who
sows strife’s deadly seeds, yea, get it
with a keenness where Mary wears
her beads.
Over in Somerset county, Pa., they
recently jailed a man for shooting at
his wife. We may well pause and ask
what this country- is coming to when
a man’s liberties are so abridged that
he can no longer shoot at his wife
without being arrested and jailed for
it.
The vaied taste in woman’s dress
is something awful shocking; just
now they-’re wearing photog'raphs af
fixed into their stocking. This is
true, says a writer whose word we
cannot doubt, but we’d like to have
him state how the deuce he found it
out.
Prof. Henry, of the Government
Weather Bureau, has published in
structions that will enable people to
avoid being struck by lightning. What
a good many- men would like to know
just before the primary elections take
place, is how to get in the path of the
political lightning that sometimes
knocks men and other things into
public office.
Signs of Democratic .prosperity- are
beginning to appear. The Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company, has given j
notice of a large reduction in its work
ing force, as well as a reduction of
Working hours, in the company’s large !
shops at Altoona, Pa. Other railroads |
are also laying off large numbers of
men.
The Spirit has received many com- j
pliineuts on its editorial of last week, 1
dealing with the closing of the schools i
on account of a few cases of diphthe
ria. Nine-tenths of the people of
Frostburg,- at least, are very indig
nant over the closing of the schools,
and with one accord they join in the
sentiment expressed in these words:
“From health board damphoolishness,
oh Eord, deliver us!”
Over at Berlin, Pennsylvania, so it
is said, there is some talk of lynching
certain people who hanged Judge
Wm. H. Ruppel in effigy, last spring.
The threatened lynching, perhaps, is
due to the fact that the hanging was
only in effigy. The people of Berlin
are a queer lot. They - voted almost
unanimously for Judge Ruppel, but
later, on account of some of his deci
sions, they hanged him in effigy.
Judge Ruppel is both a Maryland
product and a Democrat.
WhaT is a Zimmerjager? A Poca
hontas man who returned
from Germany, says he discovered
while in that country, that a Zimmer
jager is a man who makes a business
of clearing houses of bedbugs. In
Frostburg a Zimmerjager is a man
who gets one jag after another until
he becomes as crazy as a bedbug.
We see a good many Zimmerjagers in
Frostburg from time to time, but they
all come up from Cumberland and
bring their jags with them.
Is Teddy down and out? Ask the
information bureau, over volumes
pour; write to all the daily papers,
libraries explore; travel far to ancient
Egypt, and with stealthy winks,
cautiously advance the question to
the stolid sphinx. Gaze into the globe
of crystals, oracles confront, hasten
to the sylvan camp-fires, fortune-tell
ers hunt. Telegraph to Oyster Bay,
listen for the shout; we are waiting
just to know if Teddy’s down and out.
Some time ago, at Meyersdale, the
Fraternal Order of Eagles had a ban
quet at which they served a loon and
a groundhog which had been cooked
in the same pot. The mixture made
the Eagles sick, and they all puked
worse than an aggregation of buz
zards. The looney mess was too
much for their “tummies,” and now
they are debating the question as to
whether they should call their lodge
the “Looney Eoo-loos” or the “Puk
ing Penguins.” The loon is a bird
that has some of the qualities of the
penguin.
An extremely cautious Missourian
once received a package of seeds by
mail, under the frank of 1 the Repre
sentative of Congress from his dis
trict, on which was printed the warn
ing, “Penalty for private use, $300.”
He at once returned the package to
the sender with this letter: “I here
with return your seeds. I notice that
I will be fined if I use them for my
own use. I have no public use for
them, so it is better that you have
them.” This was truly another case
where the man was from Missouri and
had to be shown.
ODE TO THE HEN.
The eagle ought to have a place
among the false alarms;
We place its picture on our coins and
on our coat-of-arms,
But what did eagles ever do but frolic
in the sun;
They’d be in jail for larceny if justice
should be done.
They are not half so good to eat as
mallard duck or grouse;
They’d surely cause a panic, in a sec
tion boarding house;
And never in this weary world was
farmer known to go
To trade a pail of eagle eggs for nails
or calico.
The humble hen, on t’other hand,
still helps the world along,
She lifts the farmer’s mortgage as she
trills her morning song.
She yields the fragrant omelet, and
when reduced to pie,
She makes the boarder feel that he at
least is fit to die.
The eagle does not stir . the souls of
earnest thoughtful men,
So let us take her from the shield and
substitute the hen.
—Nebraska Farmer.
Will Celebrate.
Frostburg Aerie No. 1273, Fraternal
Order of Eagles, will celebrate the
Bth, Anniversary of their organiza
tion on the 18th of the month. The
affair will be an elaborate one. The
committee, composed of Thomas H.
Morgan, C. M. Gunnett, A. M. Tiddy,
David Welham and Gurnie Shuckhart,
is arranging a program which will be
the best ever given by the local
Aerie. The affair will conclude with
a bauqet and dance in the spacious
rooms of the Aerie in the Shea
building.
Lonaconing Store Robbed.
The hardware store of Lloy-d Durst
& Son at Eouaconing, was entered
Sunday evening by two youths of that
place, William Winn and Clarence
Mullin, both aged about 14 years.
Two revolvers, several knives, a flash
light and a supply of ammunition
were taken by- the robbers. Bailiff
Hohing discovered the boys trying to
dispose of these articles, and took
them before Squire Murphy, who re
manded both to the Juvenile Court, at
Cumberland.
Sampson Ross Dead.
Sampson Ross, aged 56 y-ears, a life
long' resident of Barton, died Monday
afternoon after an illness of ten day-s.
About two weeks ago he attempted to
paint a roof on a neighbor’s house and
I fell to the ground, alighting on his
feet. At first it was thought he was
! uninjured, but complications arose
i which resulted in his death. He is
] survived by- his wife and six children,
all grown. The funeral took place on
i Wednesday afternoon.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
Its Centennial Will be Celebrated
in Baltimore Next September.
Baltimore has secured the co-opera
tion of President Wilson, Ex-Presi
dents Taft and Roosevelt, the mem
bers of the Cabinet, the members of
Congress and the most important of
the patriotic organizations of the
country, in its program for Septem
ber, 1914. Responses from different
parts of the world indicate universal
interest in the celebration.
Among the features of the program
will be an assembling of ships from
the historic “Constellation” to the
latest dreadnought, and including the
Columbus- Caravels, Perry’s ship
“Niagara,” and forms of marine
architecture ranging over one hund
red years. There will be a unique
display of the fraternal orders of the
country, the most imposing demon
stration they have ever made. The
orators will include the leading men
of this country, and the representa
tives of other nations. President
Wilson has promised to make the
chief address.
In 1814 the British invaded the
Chesapeake Bay. They had pretty
much their own way until they reach
ed Baltimore, the object of their at
tack. They were repulsed at North
Point and Fort McHenry. These de
feats saved the Atlantic coast and
compelled acceptable terms for the
treaty of peace. Another result was
Francis Scott Key’s “Star Spangled
Banner” which has been adopted as
the National air by executive order,
both of the army and navy.
In the celebration next September
the “Star Spangled Banner” will be
rendered by a mammouth human flag
composed of thousands of children
from the schools of the city, assisted
by the combined singing societies and
bands. There will be a brilliant re
gatta and a unique naval pageant.
Julia Marlowe will recite the anthem.
The arrangements for the Centen
nial are well organized. The Honor
ary President is Woodrow Wilson, and
the Acting President is James H.
Preston, Mayor of Baltimore. Dr. A.
B. Bibbins is the Executive Chair
man, and Allen S. Will Vice Chair
man.
Mysterious Wedding at St. Cloud
Hotel.
On Monday morning last a couple
from another state, accompanied by a
parson from another state also,
alighted from the westbound W. M.
accommodation train and went
straightway to the jewelry store of
Eeslie Edelman, where a fine
ring was purchased, and from
there to the St. Cloud Hotel. It
was a case of “Two minds with but
a single thought, two hearts that beat
as one.”
No sooner had the trio arrived at
the St. Cloud than the other guests
began to “sit up and take notice.”
“It’s a wedding party,” was whis
pered from one guest to another, and
so it proved to be, for the parson
promptly stepped up to Eandlord
Decker and said:
“Would you have any objection to a
wedding ceremony being performed
in your parlor at this time?”
“No, indeed,” responded the genial
landlord, who led the party to the
parlor, and told them to “go to it,”
which they- did.
The ceremony was speedily per
formed, and then, after the Costom
ary congratulations, the bride, with a
serene smile, seated herself at the
piano and played “On the Trail of the
Lonesome Pine.”
The Spirit reporter appeared on the
scene after the wedding party had
partaken of a good dinner, and suc
ceeded in getting an interview with
the groom and the parson. The re
porter succeeded in getting full par
ticulars of the match, but was re
quested not to publish the names of
the party, nor the places of their resi
dence, for at least ten days. “There’s
a reason.” said the groom.
As the editor never betray-s a con
fidence, he shall respect the wishes of
the couple. The groom was a large,
stalwart looking man about 30 or 35
years of age, and the bride a hand
some girl of about 20. They took
their departure from the hotel during
the afternoon.
