the story, says that the salesman gave
Uncle Harvey the usual eloquent argu-

remarkably low. and so on.
Uncle Harvey did not respond The
young man talked himself out and
made no impression. Finally he said,
"You don't seem to appreciate these In

Cornerstone Moved,

Ii is now believed that the stone marking
the northwest corner OF the Fredei lex Coun'
ty boundary line is properly and permanent
ly located. Last year, because of dispute
as to the location Of the boundary line be-
tween Frederick and Washington counties,
involving the taxation Of certain pieces OF
property, the commissioners and surveyors
OF the two counties met on the mountain and
after going over the ground fixed upon what
was believed to be the proper course of the
boundary line between the TWO counties. A
stone was then placed at the northern ex-
tremity of this line, on what is supposed to
be Mason n Dixon's line.
Recently, however, the county commits.
sioners were notified by the Mason d Dixon
Line Resulvey Commission that in placing
the stone they had gone beyond the Mason
& Dixon Line fourteen feet on the Pennsyl.
vania side Accordingly, County Commls-
sloners Bowlus. Bentlipger, Harne and
Snoufrer, Clerk Ausherman and County Sur
veyor RACER went to Blue Ridge Summit
and after again going over the ground re-
moved the stone from the point at which it
was placed last year to point f'urtecn fee,

The Sunday School at Centre schoolhousc,
Jimtown, Md, closed its summer sessions on

structive and entertaining exercise entitled
Beautiful Children's Day" consisting OF
singing by school, recitations by scholars and
an address by Rev. ] F. Kaiser of the Mora.
Wan church, Graceham.
The theme brought out in the exercise
was that of the passing Of another year; "a
year journcyed through, n year of glad trui'
ton, year of peace and plenty, a year beau
tiful." Rev. Kaiser bassed his remaiks up
on the latter clause" ~ year beautiful how

of weather and environment may be.
The school numbered about eighty persons

der the management OF Messrs VIM. Weller,
John T. Speake, Henry Krom and Phares
Z. Buhrman, Rev. Kaiser making occasional
visits. The attendance was good and their
exercises well rendered.
The school was given treat of package

glassware which was novel feature Of the
gift The school presented Rev. Kaiser an
envelope containing five dollars and Mr..

nice sum in treasury, thus closing sci DOL
season of six months to lapse over to the
spring of another year.

protecting very hoarse set of vocal chords:
Senator McComas made the chef speech and
it was probably one of the best he eyer made

more than one hundred ladies were present.

LET the Imagination picture to itself the
fearful wrecks daily caused by this rock Of
scandal, and the number OF families that are
cast adrift on the ocean of life Great stress
is justly laid by liioralists on the observance
of the Sunday. But what mockery is the
external reposc of the Christian Sabbath, to
homes from which domestic peace has been
banished by interecine war, where the moth
er's heart is broken, the fathers spirit is
crushed, and where the children can not
cling to one of their parents without excit-
ing the hatred or jealousy of the other. Aud
these melancholy SCENES are followed by the
final act In the family when the family ties
are dissolved, and the hearts that had vow.
ed eternal love and unibn are separated to
meet no more.
"This social plague calls for radical cure
and the remedy can be found only in the
abolition of our mischlevous legislation re-
garding divorce and the honest application
of the Gospel. If persons contemplating
marriage were persuaded that once united
they were legally debarred from entering the
second wedlock, they would be more circum
spect before marriage in the choice Of life
partner and would be more patient afterward
in bearing the yoke and tolerating each 9th
