Maior,s Cement.

We are in receipt of letter from Mr.,
Major, the famous cement man, OF New
York, in which he sets forth some very
interesting facts about Majors Cement
The multitudes who use this standard
article know that it is manV hundred
per cent better than other cements, Tor
which similar claims are made, but
great many do not know why The
simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits Mr. Major tells us that
one Of the elements OF his cement costs
$3 rs a pound, and another costs S@65
a gallon, while large share of the So
called cements ami liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases, altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition OF
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retaIls at IS cents and
accents bottle, and when a dealer tries
to sell a substitute you can depend upon
itsthat his only object is TO make larger
profit
The profit on Majors cement is as
large as any dealer ought to make on
any cement And this is douDly true IN
view OF the fact that each dealer gets
his share Of the benefit of Mr. Majors
advertising, which now amounts to over
S., 600 a month throughout the country.
Insist on having Majors, Don't accept
any offhand advice from druggist
Always have a supply OF Majors
cements on hand.
IfVou are at all handy land you will
be likely to find that you are a good
deal more so than you imaPine) you can
reDair YOUR rubDer boots and family
shoes, and any other leather or rubber
articles, with Majors Rubber Cement
and MAJORS Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how many
dollars a year you will thus save.

Will be forwarded by mail; either kind.

vania, is one of the numerous mem
bers of the House who believe that
the present number of members, 357,
should not be increased, because that
body is already so large that it is at
times somewhat unwieldly, and also
because the hall of the House will not
comfortably accommodate a larger
number Mr.. Brosius has introduced
a resolution providing for constitu-
tional amendment permanently fixing
the membership of the House at that
number. The House committee on
the Census, is now considering the
reapportionment bill and hopes to get
it reported before the Holiday recess,
which will be from the 21st inst. un-
til January 3. 1t is not yet certain
whether the bill will provide for an
increase in the membership of the
House or for the present number.
The Committee is very nearly evenly
divided on the question. Represent
ative Hopkins, Chairman of the Com
mittee has bill of his own which
provides for the present number of

have been more plentiful for the past
few years east of our city than for a
long time past. Up to this time over
80 fine deer have been on the market
in this city. At one time Mr.. Ed.
Neff, grocer, had three whole ones
hanging at his corner. besides two
saddles" Some of them were killed
IN the mountains east of Cumberland
IN Allegany county and some no
doubt from the southern side of the
river. Small game such as turkey,
pheasant and rabbit are plentiful at
fair figures but all must disappear
on and after the first day of the com
ing year.
Mr.. H. Stewart Boucher, late of
near Grantsville, now thriving mer-
chant at Centreville, Pa, but quite
fond of the woods and his double
barrel gun, quite lately wrote your
contributor that up to date he had
bagged 20 pheasants, killed five out

he would get 100 or more before the

How often we sit and think of the
past. Perhaps it is an aged grandsire
who ''sits in his easy CHAIR telling
the little one on his knee of the days
when he and his brothers were boys
together. He now tells of day spent
in the fields looking for berries, (Which
of course did not grow there), and
when evening came, it found them a
long way from home and no berries.
How he used to enjoy swim in the
big pond, when the warm days had
come and there seemed no other
means of becoming more comfortable.
He tells, too, of how he went to school
in the days long gone by. He says
we don't learn things now as they
did way back there in the old log
school house built in the midst of
forest.
We are learning and sometime we.
too, shall draw from our memories
just such pictures, as the old man is
now painting, then they will say of
us, just as we do now, "their mind is
falling Well, perhaps it is, but to
him it is only the dusting of cobwebs
from the walls of memory, and from
the pictures hanging there and the
scenes of his youth stand out more
vividly than the events of yesterday.
There are friends of the old mans
youth to whose memory he fondly
clings. Some of these have long since
"crossed to the farther Shore" but
their memory still lives, and the old
man delights in recounting the many
pleasant times they have had to-
gether.
There are two poems which come to
my mind, which seem to have come
from the pen of a homesick boy. The
one, 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket" is fa-
miliar to us all and running through
it is train of memories, such as only
the world-weary man can have. The
other is poem by Thomas Hood, en-
titled; 81 Remember, / Remember
and in it is described the boyhood
home OF man, who at last realizes
that he is farther off from heaven
now he is man, than when he was a
boy. Our memory fails us we some
times say, but did it ever occur to you
that we are apt to fail our memories
sometime by not putting trust in it.
Let us write on memory's page the
lessons we haye learned, or hope to
learn, so that when we become old
and infirm, we can tell of some of the
jokes that we now participate in, and
leave behind us memory that will
live, if not forever, for long time.

Jef, $4,000 Column.

We have been informed through re-
liable sources that Deacon Brown, of
the Kingwood Arg1tS, is travelling at
the pace that kills. He has bought
himself pollyphone. Now the polly
phone is one of those new-fangled
musical instruments with two horns
attached to it, modelled after the
phonograph, and is the latest out.
Last Sunday he missed going to
chuFch. He wound the thing up and
became hypnotized with the music
and the Kingwood choir had to do
Without his basso-thundero-get- there
fEli accompaniments, which was a
great disappointment to the young
people, but a great relief to several
old maids who live nearby.
The pollyphone goes while the dea-
con eats. He never goes to his Office
till noon and never goes back to it
after supper. He has even refused to
go to a fancy ball where he was to be
the chief performer, because they
would not let him bring his polly
phone with him. He goes to see his
best girl down on Roaring creek with
his pollyphone under his arm, and
has it play for them while they court.
When he is not making love to her he
is continually talking about his polly
phone, and it is said she is becoming
Jealous of it and threatens to throw
the Deacon overheard. His sister re-
fuses to stay at home now and has
left town on account of it.
The hired girl has to come in of a
morning and start it up for the Dea-
con to get up by, and he has been
known to sit on the edge Of the bed
for hours listening to the sweet strains
of his pollyphone.
The Deacon hasn't taken drink
of Preston applejack for days and his
friends have just discovered what is
the matter with him.
He is now neglecting his work; does
not care about his attire, while here
tofore he has been rather dudeish,
and last week was heard at all hours
of the night following in his sleep,
Polly Polly play something's
He is in bad condition and we
fear our friend Deacon is on the down
ward path, for his pollyphone is pur-
suing him day and night.

A Clipping and a Comment.

A country which reckleSsly giUeS
array $40, 100000 yearly in pensions
must, of course, be very rich, or the
tax payers must be a very small fac
tor in legislation. Possibly the ex-
PLANTATION of the enormous annual
waste in Federal, State and munich
pal expenditure is that it is tax
eating and not a tax-paying class that
runs things"
The above is clipped from the edi-
torial columns of the Baltimore Sun
of December 14th. What do the old
soldiers think of it? The election is
over. OF course such an editorial
would not have been printed before
the November election. The italics
are the writer's, used to emphasize
the thought in the paragraph. What
think ye of it, boys who wore the
blue,'' who sacrificed and en-
dured to save this country from de-
struction? This government you
saved, to become the greatest nation
on the face of the earth, is reckless
ly'' giving you the paltry few dollars
you receive as pension, and are you a
'tax-eating and not tax-paying
class ?'' Our Republican President
wants to retire some Confederate
officers, after giving them prominent
positions in our army. Why cannot
the Sun be as broad-minded? Thank
God, this government is in the hands
of those who honor the old soldiers of
