FLEE FROM THE WRATH
That Has Come TO '''strIngtomn ON the
Pike

The Wetzel Democrat relates a
tale of woe that rivals the stories OF
the plaques of Egypt that we read
about in the book of so many au.
thors. Here is the sad story
An epidemic of fleas has attacked
the community of Stringtown. They
have feas by the million there. Ii
amounts to a plague. The fleas
don't seem to bother the men, but
conhne themselves to the ladies of
Stringtown, which shows how dis
eliminating even a flea can be. The
Stringtow flea is on to himself. He
knows the Stringtown man, and he
knows it would be no more use try.
ing to penetrate his hide than to
attempt to bite a piece from the
Washington monument or TO chew
up chunk of ballast from the rail-
road track. But the Stringtown
lady is his meat this summer. We
have it from a commercial traveller
who makes monthly trips to String
town that one lady counted fifty-two
hea bites on eleven square inches of
the fairest kind of skin. How many
there were on her entire body il
would be impossible to compute.
He says that a Strlngtown girl won't
stop to talk now unless she is close
to house or fence or something
to rub against. He says it is a reg
ular thing now in every family there
to have nightly flea hunt. When
each lady retires to her separate
apartment and CAREFUL, examines
each piece of her dainty lingerie
which has been in use during the
day. He says it is a common oc-
currence for Stringtown girl to
suddenly stop a conversation, run
to an unoccupied room and in
moment or two return with a black
speck on one thumb nail and a look
of triumph on her face, saying, al
got him !"

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Men couldn't steam across the sea
A hundred years ago,
And money wasn't all they thought
Worth having here below;
They had no elevators then
To hoist them through the air,
And yet they thought, the poor old
guys,
That they were wonderful and wise,
And that the world was fair.
Men couldn't talk by telephone,
A hundred years ago;
They sowed and reaped and thrash
ed by hand,
And when the streams were low
They had to stop the mills and
wait
For Gods good rain to fall,
And yet they proudly went about
With heads held high and chests
pushed out,
= And thought they knew it all.
Their battleships were made ofwooi
A hundred years ago,
And, oh, the weak old ways they
had
For laying people low
They had no lightning trains on
which
To fit athwart the scene,
And yet those poor, benighted men
Supposed that things were perfect
then
Alas but they were green
Men had to load each time they
shot,
A hundred years ago,
And then, alas they had no gas
To light things here below
There were no trolly-cars to dodge,
Nor horseless things to tame,
And yet, poor fools, they thought
that they
Had all the blessings, in their day,
That men might ever claim
But they had pessimists around
A hundred years ago,
Who mourned because their sons
could ne'er
Obtain proper show
And they predicted dire things
They thought the end was near:
They fancied that the devil then
Worked overtime in urging men
To start red havoc here.

nor A PHYSICIAN
But BETTER Record Than Most or
Them.
Editor OF The Argus

Euitor OF Inc Argus &C.,
HAGERsTowN, MD, July Q, 1901.
In publishing my card last week
through some unfortunate mistake
you credited me with being a phys
ician, to which lay no claim,
though, in my fathers and my own
families we have successfully treat
cd diphtheria, pneumonia, scarlet,
typhoid and other fevers, and var
ious other fatal diseases, for nearly
fifty years past, by the hydropathic
system, without aid of physician or
drugs, and his death from paralysis,
which no honest physician pretends
to cure)was the only one in all that
time.
Such record in treating disease
no physician excells, to say nothing
of the fact that in all of above cases
a cure was effected within three
weeks, at farthest, despite most
malignant attacks. We much prefer
such a successful record to the
mere title of NJ. D., which almost
any one, with a few dollars and
months attendance at some medical
institution, can acquire.
To commemorate my fathers
progressiveness we inscribed on his
tomb the following original lines:-
ga pioneer in Abolition, Hydrop-
athy, Freethonght,
Honest, temperate and diligent, he
farmed, surveyed and taught,
Loved justice, truth and liberty and
equal rights" for all.
Prepared by present usefulness for
every future CALL"
As all disease is caused by impur-
ity in the system, its cure is easiest
and best effected by getting that
impurity out of the system through
thoroughly opening all the natural
vents or exits for its escape by fire.
quent thorough baths (internal and
external accompanied by vigorous
rubbing, to dislodge it, together
with judicious exercise, plenty of
pure air and water, and a fruit and
vegetable diet, taken sparingly and
only when its need is indicated by
hunger. Local applications of cold
wet cloths or bandages to specially
fevered parts, renewed every half
hour or so are often very advan-
tageous, as is also the copious flush
ing of that "sewer of the system,
the bowels, with warm or cold wa
ter, whichever seems to be most
effectual.
None of the above remedies,
judiciously applied, can possibly
inJure even the weakest, sickest
infant, no matter what disease it
suffers from, as they tend to invig-
crate the entire constitution and
aid nature in making such repairs
as the system REQUIRES. while with
drugs, giving the wrong medicine
through failures to properly dag
nose the case is often certain death.
Natures endowment of brains is
preferable to an education that
lacks them, and natures common
sense, non poisonous remedies are
far superior to vile drugs.

| some stages OF the game to open one
mouth. Hundreds of people can not
only describe what 1t looks like, and
what it feels like, but they can tell
what ii tastes like. Several food Sa-
maritans went about the streets telling
that in New Orleans they throw Jour
during Mardi Gras week. There Is such
a satisfaction in the reflection that IL
might be worse,
When the sidewalks were literally
covered with 1t, some young men gath
cred up confetti in their hands and
threw it. This practice was discourage
ed by the police, as it should be by
everybody. A nice raw hide whip, with
a muscular arm behind it, would be an
excellent thing to break 1t up.
At times last night, the sidewalks
were actually impossible, but even then
the merry throng was good-natured.
Young men formed football wedges,
and tried to force themselves through
the crowds. There was a jostling, and
crowding. and pushing throughout he
evening. 1t interfered with comfort,
afforded gilt edged opportunities for the
light-fngered gentry, but withal there
was very little unpleasantness, and
everybody had a good time.

HOrHc md Mule Killed.

A most unfortunate accident occurred
yesterday afternoon at the c. & p. cross
ing, near the new Laughlin sheet mill.
Louis Rindever, Of Glenn's Run, who
was driving a double team, was near
the crossing and did not hear the ap-
preaching passenger train for Pitts
burg, as it rounded the curve a short
distance away, and the engine struck
both animals, knocking them from the
wagon and injuring them to such an ex-
tent that officer James Campbell was
called to shoot them and put them out
of their suffering. The loss to Mr..
Rindever is a severe one, as he has a
large family to support and this was
the only team he had. The wagon was
only slightly damaged, while Mr.. Rind-
ever escaped without injury.

The statue Turning TO Life.

This exhibition is attracting crowds
at each performance and every man,
woman and child goes away praising
what he or she has seen. 1t is both
beautiful and wonderful. A statue
stands on the stage in good light and
slowly takes on the coloring of life.
The outlines soften, the inanimate gives
away to the spiritual and finally the
statue awakes and a smiling, living
woman stands before you. There are
other features to the exhibition that are
coed, but the statue is he principal
attraction, and is by far the best show
in the city.
