ACOnDIiunent,

frostburg is getting considerable notoriety
Just now. 1t is known all over the country
as the pivotal point in the Maryland coal
miners strike. But from this it must not be
inferred that it is a dirty. unkempt village,
with riotous inhabitant and superabundance
of pig sites. Frostburg is one of the prettiest
little cities in the State, with a prosperous
population of nearly five thousand; fine
schools, churches, stores, residences and
streets; water works. gas and electricity, and
the purest air and most beautiful scenery to
be found anywhere. Last, but not least, it
is the home of "the great paper" the FROST
BURG JOURNAL, whose veteran editor is rank
ell among the able journalists of the country
Cumberland Times.
All true, dear Times except that
the JOURNAL could "tone down" that
climax considerably and then look
gratefully up to it as an unexpected
compliment of unearned proportions.
At the same time, Frostburg is in a
great degree what it is in growth,
beauty and celebrity on account of
the JOURNALS labor and influence.
And the good work of developing
the towns best features and attractive
ness still goes on.

Worthy ofAliAcceptation.

The 4Negdnidn agrees with the MINING
JOURNAL in regard to corporal punishment
in school 1t should be used only as a last
resort, just as capital punishment is for
criminals. The power to infict corporal
punishment should not be taken from the
teacher, but he should use it sparingly. Some
teachers can get along without it; some can
not. With some boys and girls no other
punishment will take its place. Some boys
and some men, will not learn to behave until
it is knocked out of them by rough means
These are the exceptional cases and the school
law should cover all. This is our opinion,
based on twenty-five years experience as a
teacher. We once had two girls in school,
nearly grown, who were continually quarrel
ing. One day they went out and "knocked'
it out, and were friends ever afterward. The
same has occurred with men and boys. These
are the exceptions that must be met and
berland Alleganiaa.
That is about the idea.
The rod subserves two healthful
purposes:
|, 1t vindicates transgrcssed law,
and
>, Dlscourages transgresslon.
Hence, it is good for both the trans
gressor and those who otherwise would
become transgressors.
SO came to pass in part the supreme
wisdom of the saying-"he Injuries the
good who spares the bad

The Indianapolis Sentinel credits this
story to James Whitcomb Riley
Three-bosom friends started out one
evening to have a good time,n and
when the time came for going home
they were so drunk that walking was
difficult. They finally reached the
home of Brown and made noise enough
to wake the neighbors. A window
was raised and a feminine voice said

answer:

Patents

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-

in official life, require continual accessions
to the appurtcnances and implements to each
in order to saye labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who being on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs Of
government to deter him from quickly con.

discrepancies. Too great care cannot be

No Blanks In this Competition.

NO AS1dhAS Ih thtS SOuIpCtstsohs
This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for the
best story or picture, or architectural plan
all the competitors risklng the loss Of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely to help himself and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose COM
peti,ive plan for club house on a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
something of very little use to him. But the
person who patents a simple and useful de
vice in the Press Claims Companps Cnmpe-
tltion, need not worry if he fail to secure the
prize He has substantial result to show
for his work one that will command its val.
ue in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple to be worth
patenting TIE simbler the better The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Companys twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that Its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.
