Hence trusts and Imperialism abroad,
and David, the tanner and Johnnie, the
marble-scratcher, i'll the newspaper
business at home.
The JOURNAL advertised for second
hand safe and responses came from as
far east as Brunswick, Md, and west as
Toledo, o., two from Frostburg, one
from Barton, etc. The fetching power
of "A paper inf1uentially as well as exclu-
sively great is eXtra-tremendous.
No, "Flutie,' there is no such thing as
manufactured sponge. Silk sponges
and other named sponges are so nominal
ted from having undergone special pro-
cesses in preparation for market. The
sponge that has been "thrown up has
not been swallowed by the beaten pugi-
list, nor is he the one who "throws it
up
Not many people would imagine Mark
Twain commencing Forum rhetoric, but
when he says he likes long sentences,
for in them he can say all he wishes with
out change of cars" he gives popular
confidence i'll his taste Il jolt.
Both parties around here are more or
less suspicious. Some republicans,
thinking of the Philadelphia platform,
and some democrats, bordering over the
Kansas City declaration, fear that their
party's gospel isn't in the original pack
age.
The census of New York city elite is
1000, Chicago 5000, and the only adj
mirer of the FOrtm the JOURNAL ever
heard of is suspected of estimating the
Frostburg count at very small fraction
of Lilo.
The time for catching and wrestling
with Ia grippe is approaching, but it is
not necessary to regard every cold and
stoppage of the nose as a case. The eX-
ercise of a little common sense is often
all that is needed to show that an I'M
comfortable conclusion has been reached.
At the same time it is possible that one
may have Ia grippe without knowing
exactly what ails him. But, fortunately,
medical science has reached a stage of
evolution when the disease can be accu-
rately diagnosed as purely parasitic
disorder, arising from peculiar animal
cular organism armed npon one side with

The Gleaner regards the new e-plant

As the only genuine organ of party
that the JOURNAL knows how the Gleon-
er will regard the the proposed beer APP
pendiX to the EGGPLANT annex to the
burial-vault enterprise, remains to be
seen.
If there is il man i'll Frostburg who is
capable of cherishing intense enmity it
is pretty safe to say also that he is in
capable of fostering sincere affection.
Carrying this thought further-isn't
such man anywhere Darwinian i'm
possibility?
Like Payn, the novelist, said to be
author of over fifty works of fiction,
neither David nor Jonathan can write
when the other is present. David seems
to hold that intellectual proximity de-
stroys his individuality and Jonathan
appears to fancy that as deep thinker
he is at his best when roosting alone
Speaking of real organs-the county
has one i'll the Frostburg Geoner. Its
editor o~nS it, and he is the supreme
censor of all that is offered for publ
cation. How it would be We're his party
big enough to hold two factions is an
other story.
An occasional reader of the FOrum
finds fault with some of its spelling and
consequent pronunciation. Which re-
minds the JOURNAL of an old Irish
preacher who used to live in what was
then known as Newtown, Va. He pro-
nounced "squalor" as though it We're
spelled "squaylor" and when told of it
confessed that "being an Oirishman, Oh
am an alien from the commonwealth of
Israel"
The Forum is trying to prove that the
JOURNAL is stuck on itself and i'll
serts ga free puff asking "any person"
to "read last weeks exclusively great. )"
The invitation is superfuous. All have
read and all endorse it-an honor which
will never, ncrcr come to David or iona
than. In other words, it might hit the
Outside-never, n'rer the inside of the
Forum.
A half dozen people have called the
JOURNALS attention to IA particular Ari-
IONA Kicker "kicklet" in the Baltimore
Hcrdd of last Sunday, and two wanted
to know whether it would be quoted i'll
the paper that is Internationally indie
pendent and exclusively great.
