that confession. Amid her great ag-
ony, which is beyond pen to tell, she
still manifested that motherly love
which was SO characteristic of her,
and asked the friends that they
would render what assistance they
could in caring for her little ones.
She bade her companion an affec-
tionate goodbye and requested the
same of him. She especially devoted
to her home work and family, never
too tired at the hour of midnight to
minister to their wants. The children
and father know what home is with
a mother; never again will you see
the dear form Of the loving mother
who cared for you SO tenderly, and
while it is hard to give her up we
can only commend you to the Father
above who comforts all our sorrow
and takes away our grief. May the
children live to emulate the example
their mother left them. Not only does

How to Find Out.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge
SO often expressed, that DIR. kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine YOU should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have q sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

BY a Similar Token,

Rev. c. Forrest Moore, of Piedmont,
puts the Cumberland injunctionists in
the same dilemma that ties the free
coinage people in hopeless tangle.
He shows very clearly that the in
junction will not strike the real source
OF pollution. In other words, an in
junction leveled against the pulp
works is not a specific that will strike
the seat of disease in the water of
Georges Creek.
This is an excellent illustration of
the fact that free coinage will never
cure an ailment that never grew out of
limited coinage.

26 Years.


We should have congratulated the Frost
burg JOURNAL on the completion of its 26th
year last week. However, the event is note
worthy even at this late day. The Journal
is one OF a few papers that wear well, that in
crease their influence and usefulness as the
years go by, and give practical demonstra-
ton every 81 weeks of the survival of the
tittest' theory. For fright down editorial
work the JOURNAL is a cracker. Jack that allows
nary fly to light upon the glory it has at

whose fame as ''word-painter" is known

Well said.
And it might as we'll be stated now
as later that there is no paper within
the immense jurisdiction of these head
quarters that comes anywhere so near
the JOURNALS editorial standard as
the Star. There have been times
when, under provocation, it was a
whole constellation.
