"The Foeless Man" was current
1t is well-conceived and constructed
but gentle satire upon the careers of
men whose indisposition to do harm is
generally balanced by inability to ac-
complish much good.
a Frostburg gentleman, with turn
for literary effect, has paraphrased it
and made poem which he entities THE
Hustler"
lie grew up in the public school
In quite an obtrusive way;
lie shared his lunch and he lent his top,
But he always had his say.
He drifted humby with his class
But was always at its head;
But he made lot of enemies
HE thinks he's it, they SAID
He lived his busy years along
In keen ambitions thrall;
The world we'll knew from what he did
That stocks would rise or fall.
And when at length to his last sleep
He proudly bent his head
THE son- of-a-gun has gone at last"
The village mossbacks said.

either event decide at once what you
will do when the test comes. But i'll the
one don't kill anybody if you can pos
sibly help it, i'll the other don't die your
self.
A representative of Charles Austin
Bates, the author Of the Book of Prov
cribs i'll the Scriptures of Advertising,
was here the other day. The usual

hot the newspapers, but the foreign

The census department reports Iona
