In Loving Remembrance of Little Rem,
RANKIN, who departed this life September
2S 1903, aged 1 years.
All night long we watched the ebbing life
As if its flight to stay
Until as the dawn was coming down
Our last hope passed away.
Above the couch we bent and prayed,
In the half-lighted room,
As the bright hues of infant life
Sank slowly into gloom.
Each fiutter of the pulse we marked.
Each culver of the eye;
10 the dear lips our ear we laid
70 catch the last low sigh.
We stroked the little sinking cheek,
The forehead pale and fair;
We kissed the small round ruby mouth,
For REM still was there.
At last the futtering pulse stood still;
The death-frost through her clay
Stole slowly; and as morn came up
Our sweet flower passed away.
The form remained, but there was now
No soul our love to share
No warm responding lips to kiss,
For RENA was not there.
Farewell" with weeping hearts, we said
Child of our loving care I"
And then We ceased to kiss those lips,
For RENA was not there.
Dear Lord" we prayed with broken speech,
Grant we may love Thee more
For this new jewel in Thy crown
Where we had two before"
BY her Aunt, L. y. STEVENS.

nished terra-cotta pipe and dug the
ditch, while at the same time water was
directed to and across his lot near the

The reading of this letter brought forth
some very lively remarks from several
Councilmen, one declaring that ITO do as
had been done was to make bad

under any circumstances.
The next great question brought up
was the location of the stove i'll the
Council Chamber.

communication from judge r. II. Koch,

Wholly outside of political or party
considerations and looking only to the
scholastic interests of the county, es-
pecially to the welfare of State Normal
School No. 2, the JOURNAL ventures to
remind voters that no nominee on the
legislative portion of any ticket can ac-
complish so much in the Legislature for
pupils, teachers and schools as a. e..
Wilson, of Cumberland.
By virtue of the Office he holds he is
already the best informed and strongest
school man in the county. More than
any other, he knows what the schools
need, and more than very many Others,
he is able to make his information felt
and acknowledged.
In party sense his abilities and
force may make his election unde-
sirable to the supporters Of the opposing
ticket, but what compensation can mere
party success bring home to ne p'oP'c OF
Frostburg, for instance, equal to an ap-
preparation which will continue and en-
large the value of State Normal No. =
as training school for our future
teachers?
Again-it matters not whether he
goes into a House friendly or unfriendly,
he will be force i'll all directions he
moves, especially in Il line to which the
JOURNAL kno~s him to he committed by
predisposiIion, study and ~ork.
The JOURNAL well understands that
this voluntary-thiS uninvited sug-
gestion to hr pcopIr to elect Mr.. Will
son, if needed, will occasion expense II
one of five nominees on the other ticket,
but the public interest i'll any direction
so far outweighs any individuals well
fare that it can do no other.
Moreover, when we hear that ''labOr
unionism'' is intending to ditferentlat'
in favor of its friends on both tickets,
why may not the partisans of public etlu
cation i'll all parties express their own
and better prediction by concentrating
their suffrages on that better interest,"
best representative c. Wilson:
The Triunc Editor.
The Cumberland Mrs printed !;
Frostburg UcrnH editorial alleging in
effect that when parties nominate can
didates for the bench that whonso we:
the Lord has joined together no man
can put asunder.
T.. -, ~ !,
divorced from politics.
SO much the worse for the bench.
But the editorial is so unlike any
thing that editor Robinson has ever be-
fore constructed that the presumption is
gaining ground that he will write in on,
fluent strain for the UprdId, another
flowing style for the STIR, and still
another ripping gurgle for the R'rie".
Very, very few in the domain of
letters can command diversity of mel
lfiuousness in editorial diction, but we
seem to have one OF them.
The Real Question,
Anent the great question Of mon
partisan judiciary" a greater one is a
non-railroad pass and non-Pullman car
privileges.
1t is not what John Walter Smith did,
or the people ought to do, but what will
the judge himself do when the passes
and privileges arrive, attended by 1.-THE
compliments off, ETC.?
Apply same test to legislative nomi-
nees.
Otherwise, quit complaining of cor
porate entertainments on popular rights.

His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,


In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim. he encountered much bad
water. which, together with the severe
heat. gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check. and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbOrs brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain Colo,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground II
great agony, and in few minutes TIKI
dose was repeated. The good effect o
the medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient was taking hi
first sound sleep for fortnight. Tba
one little bottle worked complete cure
and he cannot help but feel grateful
