from the valley spirit.
The two daughters of Clayton
Zeigler, of near Greencastle, and
an employe of Mr.. Zeigler's had
a thrilling experience in a run
away. While driving home from
Hagerstown the horse took fright
along the Middleburg pike, near
that place, by the lines falling
from the drivers hands. The
horse kicked viciously and then
dashed off. A short distance
further on the driver was thrown
out, leaving the two young ladies'
badly frightened and in extreme
peril.
After running about half mile
the vehicle was nearly overturn-
ed, throwing one of the young la
dies out. She struck the pike
with great force, sustaining
bruises and slight cuts, but
escaped serious injury. Fearing
a like fate the younger sister,
who was alone in the buggy hold
ing on for dear life, jumped out
and landing on her feet was hurl-
ed over several times, receiving
painful injuries. The horse con-
tinued to run and never stopped
until the stable was reached.

Penny Postage.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 9.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. %.
Henry @. Payne, newly ap-
pointed Postmaster General, says
he hopes to see one-cent postage
in the near future. Discussing
his Department he says:
''The whole tendency of the
administration of the Post Office
Department has been to seek to
bring the cost of operation below
the revenue, and thus make the
service self sustaining. There
has been an endeavor to cut off
the frauds in the second class
matter.
"t'ake newspapers and maya
zines and other matter which has
sought to get in under the pound
rate has been cut off with the en-
deavor to let the benefit of the
postage service go to the legiti-
mate journals. 1t will be of that
policy and when the service be-
comes self-sustaining to bring
about reduction Of the postage.
Perhaps we shall never consider
our postage service on right
basis until penny postage has
been established and 1 trust that
may be done some time in the
near future"

for declining to hear them on that

Coon Cats.

The writers on big city dailies are
very wise, no doubt, but once in while
they address themselves to subjects
with which they do not appear to be EN-
tirely familiar An instance of this sort
is furnish ed by writer giving the fol-
lowing information in the columns of a
New York city daily conc erning an ami
NAL common in many places of Maine:
Coon cats are peculiar to Maine, and
this is the season of the year during
which they are tempted by the warm
weather to emerge from their forest
homes and go to the neighboring farm
houses in search of cosey fireside and
plentiful meals. Although the first
home of the coon cat is usually some
nook sheltered by underbrush, he pre-
fers civilized life. His method of es-
tablishing himself as member of some
well-to-do family is to amble gently
along toward an open kitchen door, and
with ingratiating purrs accompanied by
soft rubs against the feet of anyone
there, indicate his friendly feelings
toward the household"

scrub sbi..sa geliise,s b, heine used as
goat pasturage. There's another ching
about goat herding. They don't spoil
the range for cattle as sheep do-you
know a sheep range is absolutely worth
less for anything else; but cattle will
follow goats without the slightest
trouble.
There's another phase to this goat
industry that appeals to Secretary Will
son, and agree with him. There's no
question but that New England farming
districts, as . whole, have been running
down.. In the old days, every man who
owned little farm up there was pros
porous, in spite of the fact that the land
wasn't specially promising. Almost
every farmer kept few sheep. Sheep
raising paid in those days. Out of sheep,
eggs and butter the expenses of the farm
could usually be paid-everything else
was clear gain.
''Now things are different on large
percentage of those farms. The young
generations of the families have NOV
ed away. The farms have been sold,
and haven't been kept up. When sheep
failed, the farmers all went in for cows
and dairy products. 1t hasn't paid. OF
course there are exceptions to the rule;
but New England farms in lump, GER
tainly are not prospering.
Now I'd like to see Angora goats
kicking their heels all over those New
England pastures and hills. There's
any amount of improbable land up
there. that could be made yield a fine
income. Why, look at the agricultural
reports. The State of Maine has 6,OOO,-
600 acres in farms, only so per cent of
which are cultivated There arc 40 OO0
farms averaging 100 acres each. Say
each farmer has from TWENTY-FIVE to
fifty acres of land that is absolutely use
less for farming purposes. Suppose he
puts four female Angora goats at from
IS to SS head and one buck at from
$40 to s25, on that ood-for-nothing land.
In four years, ont of an investment of
from $3S to $45 he will have flock of
goats that will make that pasture pro-
duce more than all the rest of the farm.
Il know New England men who are
trying the scheme on my advice and
making it pay. Even two Angora goats
are good investment for poor man
who has little plot of worthless ground.
They wont cost anything, save the pur-
chase money, and they will insure him
an income, increasing each year. A
good eve will give from three to four
quarts of milk day. That beats keep
ing COW or buying milk, for poor people.
'Men who have experimental with
goat raising, in this country and know
what they are talking about, say that
the byproducts of goat keeping will pay
all its cost, and the $40, ,OOO,0O year
paid by importers for mohair and skins
would be clean gain to home produc-
tion. New York Sun.

We Know Something that Cures All
Pulmonary Troubles.
IT IS OUR GREAT TONIC RECON.
STRUCT0R, VIN0L.

There seems to be an epidemic of
colds.
1t is strange how many people start
in with a cold that they have con-
tracted during the autumn months.
Such colds are dangerous, for unless
cured when the weather is warm it is
very difficult to get rid of them when
really inclement weather appears.
Do not. if you have cold go through
this winter and let it pull you down. A
racl1ing cough may be the means of un-
Germining your constitution. terminal
ing in consumption, when there will be
no hope for escape.
Cod-Liver Oil has always been the
greatest known specific for consump-
ton. Naturally Cod Liver Oil has been
given for colds which are regarded by
many people as the first stage of this
disease. There is no need of our tell
ing you the drawbacks of CodLiver
Oil; the vile, greasy mixture was so re-
pellent that not more than one person
in ten could take it. But Cod-Liver
Oil did cure where it could be taken.
Now we have cod-liver oil prepara-
ton that cures just as surely as did
this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol.
Anybody can take Vinol. 1t tastes de-
licious, and because it contains the
active curative principles that made
Cod-Liver Oil famous as the specific for
consumption and other wasting dis
eases, it will be readily seen how valu-
able it is for all such troubles.
Here is one letter taken from many
that are continually coming to our
notice. Mrs. E. Coghlan, 122 Putnam
Ave, Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
"Last September l contracted a
heavy cold which terminated with ton
silitis, and later the grip. All winter
l had dreadful cough, and the doctor
advised me to take several things,
among them Cod-Liver Oil l tried it
for several months without obtaining
relief At last l heard of Vinol and
gave it trial. Five bottles cured me
and have had no troubles since"
When we talk of Vinol, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money if you are not
satisfied.
