suddenly aroused by the screams of
Quinn, her eight year-old son, who had
been knocked down by COW, which was
doing her best to gore him. Mrs. Stew
art ran ut the COW with her umbrella
raised, and thus caused the animal to
desist. She managed, with some diff
Guilty, to get the children out of reach of
the enraged beast. But for the thick
coat which the child wore it is very
probable that he would have been gored
to death. This should be warming to
the children not to go to the park unless
we'll protected.

1t is the custom this spring fol
pigeon fanciers in the cities to send
crates containing homing pigeons
to the station agents along the line
of the P. w. & B. railroad, with
instructions to release the birds at
a given hour. AT Perryville last
Friday morning 81 birds from Will
mington were liberated. The bag

baskets, to be left at ElktOn, Perry

The officers of the local division
of the Pennsylvania railroad have
asked the officers of Queen Anne's
county, Md, to reduce the assessed
valuation of the railroad property
in that county. 1t is claimed that
the Queen Anne's and Kent county
railroad has not for long time
been a paying road, and should
therefore be assessed lower than if
it was "a paying investment. No
action has yet been taken by the
county.
If exempting from tax property
that pays nothing was made rule
good deal not railroad property
would be exempt.

Hiding Places in Furniture.

1t is not alone in stories that
secret drawers, hiding places in
furniture and private passages
underneath houses are to be found
nowadays. They are to be found
also in modern New York, says the
Press, OF that city. According to a
cabinetmaker, orders are frequently
received by him for pieces of fur
niture made with hidden recep-
tacles. He keeps one designer, in
fact, whose special work consists in
contriving false bottoms and secret
drawers for desks, chairs and tables.
Interesting condolences have
come to his notice of the sudden
failure in business of the husband
of some woman who had just re
ceived from his shop an ingenious
cabinet. The cabinetmaker has no
doubt that valuable securities were
hidden therein from the creditors.
An odd thing, too, in the fur
niture trade is the fact that most of
the cold English oak settees,"
chairs of the reign of Anne, etc.,
supposed to be antiques, are man
ufactured out in Grand Rapids,
Mich.
AS for the underground passages,
there are more of them in New
York than in a medieval town.
They are not all secret, but under
uptown mansions built within ten
years there are some which only the
owner and the builder know about.
Under the Vanderbilt chateau at
the plaza there is one which runs
from a point beneath a rear room
out to he edge of the street, where
the exit is concealed by a slab
which looks like a part of the pave
ment. In case of robbery or any
other danger within the house
escape could be made through this
passage to the street, where an
alarm could be sounded. Guards
at the doors would thus be caught
at their posts, not knowing that any
one within the house has passed
out of it.

Electric Railroad.

A meeting was held at North

gentlemen to canvass the prospect
for building an electric railway

and Elk River Electric Railroad.
The meeting held was the annual

Pa, formerly of North East, Pres;
George w. Cosden, of North East,

Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton, Pa,
bore her thirty-four years of suffering with
courage and fortitude. Her trouble was
rheumatism in the knee. In consequence
her limb had become so stiff that she
could hardly walk. Mr. Stamm is a we'll
TODD merchant, and had spared no pains
or expense to relieve hex but with little
success, until one night when it grew so
painful that she could hardly endure it,
he persuaded her to try Chamberlain S
Pain Balm The effect was magical,
The first application relieved the pain,
and its continued use has removed all
stiffness and given her the free use of her
limb once more. Ifyou have friends who
are troubled with rheumatism insist on
their giving this remedy a trial. You
can do them no greater favor, as it is sure
to give promp relief, and if they are a
little patient it will effect cure. For

At the instigation of an article which
appeared in your paper April 9th, 81,
entitled "The Ewing Family" 1 take
great pleasure in penning few lines on
the same subject, as claim relationship
with the Ewings of your section of the
country.
Between the years 1900 and 1918 five
brothers, children of Findley and Jane
Ewing of Londonderry, came to this
country. -Four of them, John, Alexander,
Henry and Samuel, settled in Cecil Co.,
Md, while the fifth, Thomas, settled in
West Jersey. Thomas Ewing married
Mary Maskett and their eldest son, Mas
kett Ewing, married Mary Pagett The
third daughter of Maskett and Mary
Ewing was Aney H. and she was married
to Robert Patterson. The second daugh-
ter of Robert and Amey Patterson was
Martha and she was married to Uriah
Dubois, who was my great-grandfather
1t is through the previously described de-
scent, that this branch of the Dubois
family claims relationship with the
Ewings of your section ofthe country.

A Nice Lot of Lambs.

Col. Enoch Noyes has a splendid
lot of spring lambs. There are 40
in the bunch and the earliest will
weigh forty pounds apiece. BY the
early June market they will tip the
beam at an average of rs pounds.
But four or five of the ewes have
twins which insures rapid and
vigorous growth of the single lambs,
one lamb receiving all the nourish-
ment from the mother. The lambs
have generous ration of meal and
bran daily in an apartment by
themselves where they are pro-
tected from being crowded out by
the old sheep.
Col. Noyes is contracting his
grain and what is termed staple
crop farming, and is turning his
attention more to dairying and
trucking. He has 10 tip top
mixers and disposes Of his milk
and truck to customers in Port
Deposit. BY this system the pro-
ducer and consumer are brought
together and freights and middle
mems commissions are avoided.
This is termed the exchange
system" and is beginning to be
extensively praetioed in some
sections of the country on an en-
larged scale embracing a wide range
of products and distribution.
Where the system is extensively
practiced due bills are used in place
of money which reduces the
business of the association to a
virtual cash operation. A pumber
of branches of business are punched
in these exchange associations, their
due bills or scrip serving as money
amongst the members of the asso-
citation, while their outside dealings
bring in enough money to pay
taxes and conduct trade with out
side barbarians. Money is simply
medium of exchange and when it
is legitimately and properly en-
plOyed nothing else. Its abnormal
scarcity amongst those who create
and exchange staple products is the
cause of the present stagnant con-
ditiOn of business among this class
of persons.

Gen. A. j. Warner dicusses
learnedly the money question, past
and present, in the National Bimet-
allist, but does not point the way to
any improvement on old ideas,
only shows the defects pointed out
by able men of the past. He gives
the arguments advanced by able
economists to prove that redeemable
paper money is a snare and delu-
sion, and that unrestricted issues
of currency by banking firms are
fraught with the greatest evils, all
of which was or is well known by
every student of the money ques-
ton of today. Gen. Warner does
not add any information on the
question.
