w EN- YOU
TALK
Have Something to Say. Say II.
Then Stop
From Letters From a Self Made Mer-
chant to His Son." by George
Horace LOrimsr

Dear Pierrcpont Yours of the 4th
has the right ring. and it says more TO
the number Of words used than any
letter that l have ever received from
YOU. l remember reading once that
some fellows use language to conceal
thought, but it's been my experience
that a good many more use it instead
of thought.
A business mans conversation should
be regulated by fewer and simpler
rules than any other function Of the
human animal. They are:
Have something to say.
Say it.
Stop talking.
Beginning before you know what you
want to say and keeping on after you
have said it lands merchant in law
suit or the poorhouse. and the first Is
short cut to the second. I maintain a
legal department here, and 1t costs a
lot of money, but it's to keep me from
going to law.
It's all right when you are calling Oh
a girl or talking with friends after din
ner to run conversation like Sunday
school excursion. with stops to pick
flowers, but in the ONCE your sentences
should be the shortest distance possible
between periods. Cut out the introduc-
ton and the peroration and stop be-
fore you get to secondly. You've got to
preach short sermons to catch sinners,
and deacons won't believe they need
long ones themselves. Give fools the
first and women the last word. The
meats always in the middle Of the
sandwich. or course little butter on
either side of 1t doesn't do any harm II
it's intended for a man who likes but
ter.
Remember. too. that it's easier to
look wise than to talk wisdom. Say
less than the other fellow and listen
more than you talk. for when mans
listening he isn't telling on himself and
he's hattering the fellow who is. Give
most men good listener and most wo-
men enough note paper and they'll tell
all they know.

FROsTBURG Md, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1903

flower descendant was telephoning for
the police from one side and the sign
er's great-grandson from the other.
and just as the crowd yelled and broke
for the house two patrol wagons full
Of policemen got there But they had
to turn in a riot call and bring out the
reserves before they could break up
Hanks little Boston tea party.
After all. Hank did what he started
out to do with his party-rounded up
all his neighbors in n bunch, though
not exactly according to schedule. For
next morning there were so many de-
scendants and great-gra ndsons in the
police court to prefer charges that 1t
looked like reunion Of the pilgrim
fathers. The judge fined Hank on six
teen counts and bound him over to
keep the peace for a hundred years.
That afternoon he left for the west on
a special, because the limited didn't
get there quick enough. But before 60
ing he tackled on the front door of his
house sign which read:
Neighbors paying their party calls will
please not heave rocks through windows
to attract attention. Not in and not going
to be. Gone back to Circle City for a lit
tie quiet. Yours truly,
HANK SMITH.
N. B.-Too swift for your uncle
Hank dropped by my Office for
minute on his way to Frisco. Said he
liked things lively. but there was alto
gether too much roughhouse on Bea-
con Hill for him. Judged that as the
crowd which wasn't invited was so
blamed sociable, the one which was
invited would have stayed a week II 1t
hadn't slipped up on the date. That
might be the Boston idea, but he want
ed little more refinement in his. Said
he was a pretty free spender and would
hold his end up, but he hated hog.
OF course 1 told Hank that Boston
wasn't all that 1t was cracked up to be
in the school histories and that Circle
City wasn't so tough as it read in the
newspapers, for there was no way Of
making him understand that he might
have lived in Boston for a hundred
years without being invited to a straw
berry sociable. Because fellow cuts
ice on the arctic circle it doesn't fol-
low that he's going to be worth beans
on the Back Bay.

THE FOOL ROOSTER
Hes Always Growing. but It's the Hen

I've heard a good deal IN my time
about the foolishness of hens, but
when 1t comes to right down, plum

stretching and Growing and Dragging
about things with which he had moth

think that he was making all the light
instead Of all the noise. When the
farmers wife throws the scraps in the
henyard, he crows as If he was the
provider for the whole farmyard and
was asking a blessing on the food.
When he meets another rooster, he
crows, and when the other rooster
licks him he crows. And so he keeps

EDITORIAL.
Fact

The people of this county are ready f"r Il
good roads movement. They have made
up their minds to get rid of the bottomless
pits called roads which have been costing so
much every year. What they want now is
some plan submitted to them whereby they
may be rid of this incubus. 1t Is up to
those who are back of the proposed plan to
get il in shape to be submitted. The people
will do the rest.-Morgantown (W. Va.)
Ner UoHiHjOn
No, 1.-THE people" wont.
If 1.-THE people" did their duty the
millions that go to the Philippines, the
army, navy, and other foreign interests,
would be laid out on roads at home.
But as long AS 1.-THE people" send men
to Congress to represent the admins
tration" and not themselves, SO long will
their money be squandered outside The
country, and so long will they be un-
able with what money they have left to
build good roads.

TREES ON CORNERS.
The BROOKLYN system of Planting
Them In Clusters.

Under the new tree planting ordi-
will have presented to them n sugges-
tion for the planting Of trees that will
greatly enhance the beauty IF the
streets ut practically no extra cost to
the property owners. 1t is known as
the brooklyn system and provides for
tree clusters Mt the street corners. Tn
der the ordinance the city forester as
ccrtainS the wishes Of the property
owners to Il great extent in tree plant
Ing and 1t is believed that they will he
favornhly impressed with the proposed
arrangement.
The plan described in detail is as fol-
lows. showing the effect il will produce
and the advantages it will afford:
At street intersections, when prac-
tirnblc. place eight trees of large grow
ing sorts, two trees on each corner,
each tree, as nearly us may be, on the
tree line of one street and on the prop
crty line of the other street. The tops
of these trees, properly trained. will
be high above all awnings and lights.
and in time will form Il groincd arch
over both streets. This clump will
form dense shade where 1t will do
the greatest good and least harm.
As the trees grow. the lower limbs
may he removed until there is Il clean
shaft twenty feet high. The space un-
der the trees will be high, light and
airy aud shady. Should any branch
approach too near Il building ii may be
removed. One can hardly realize the
beauty and utility Of such an arrange
mcnt without seeing it. In hot days
the shade will be very acceptable to
those waiting for cars. 1t will he very
pleasant for friends and acluaintances
meeting on the corners. People can
cross the streets in the shade of this
canopy. These places. which in hot
days are like furnaces heating the air,
will he changed into cooling shade.
These clumpS of sturdy trees sup
porting one another will form barriers
to high winds and protect single trees
and property in general.

Some Points About Their Care and
Protection.
Nothing makes Il residence street in Il
town more beautiful or desirable as Il
place of homes than fine shade trees.
and yet nothing on the street has less
care than those very trees. They may
be the finest oaks. elms or naples. and
vet about every fifth tree will show
worms nests or dead limbs. The OWL
or is nearly always Indifferent. and OF
course il is no concern of his nciShborS.
Shade trees should he trimmed and
attended to every spring as much as
the fruit trees or hedges and i'll buy
in. or selling Il house and lot they
should lrc given Il money value along
with the buildings. a single dead limb
spoilS the beauty of the finest tree, and
n worms nest is the beginning of tree
poison. 1t will not be many years aft
or its first appearance before the nest
will cover Il good share of the top Of
the tree. ard within five or six the
grandcst oak is ready to crash down be-
fore Il summer gale.
Massachusetts and other eastern states
are paying ont many thousands of dol
lars yearly to kill the insects which be
gan working on the shade trees 4 few
years ago. and scores Of towns have
had to mourn the loss OF their finest
clms and naples. The authorities of
every town should have power In this
matter While the trees along
public walk may be owned by an indi-
vilual, they are public property i'll Il
sense They 20 10 make up the beauty
of the street and the value of the prop
~ thereon and offer their grateful shade
to every pedestrian. If the owner is
tnu busy or Indifferent to prevent their
destruction and with them the trees of
his nriglbor. an ordinance should per-
nit of it's being done mt his expense.
lie has no more right to harbor Il nui-
sancc in trectop than on the earth.
Once the worms find lodgment in tree,
they will gradually spread to others,
and in time, if nothing is done to check
them they will work their way all over
village.

That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
GERMS are first destroyed. The lIyo-
mel treatment kills the catarrl. germs
even in the minutest air cells. soothes
and heals the irritated mucous MEM
brane and makes complete and last
ing cures in cases that have resisted
the usual methods of trea tment
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The complete outfit
costs but $1.OO and consists of an in
haler. which will last a lifetime. and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottles of Ivy
omei can be procured for soc.
H. Goodman's pharmacy give it's
personal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit he sells to refund the money if
it does not cure. There is no risk
whatever to. the purchaser of Hyomei.
