DIED..
VALENTINE.


w. Albert Valentine died at his home in
this place on Thursday morning last after a
final illness of less than two weeks. He had
been in excellent health unit about one year
ago when it began to fail rapidly for time;
he then seemed TO regain some of his former
strength and it was hoped that he would en-
tirely recover. The immediate cause of his

the late William Valentine; he was born
February Is, 1897 at the old home on the
Monocacy, now owned by MIR. Sylvester
Valentine.

Harvey Miller of Philadelphia; Mrs. Fl. G.
Root of Thurmont and one son Mr.. Harry
Valentine of Baltimore; four brothers, Syl-
vester, Elias and Grason Of the Monocacy
neighhorhood, and Lewis Of Chewesville
Washington County; two sisters, Mrs. Geo
Albaugh and Mrs. John Ahders Of Rocky
Kiugc.
The deceased was member of the Luth
eIan church; he was, until years forbade it,
a very Industrious man, a farmer; during the
latter years he had lived at his ease at his
home here. He was most companionabe
man and fond of innocent pleasures. The
funeral was held on Saturday afternoon by
Rev. e. E. Keller, his pastor, ipterment in
the United Brethren cemetery, E, E. Black
funeral director His age was 67 years, 8
months and II days.

American Ari@tOcracy.

BY JOHN q, SAKE.
OF all the notable things on earth,
The queetest on. is pride of birth
Among our fierce democracyl
A bridge across "A hundred years,
Without prop to save ii from sneers,
Not even couple of rotten peers
A thing for laughter, feers and jeers,
Is American Aristocracy!
English and Irish, French and Spanish,
Germans, Italians, Dutch and Danish
Crossing their VEINS until they vanish
In one conglomeration!
So uotle tangle of blood, indeed,
No Heraldry Harvey will ever succeed
In finding the circulation.
Depend upon it, my snobbsh friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend,
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it pared, at the farthest end,
BY some plebian vocation!
Or, worse than that, your boasted line
May end in q loop of stronger twine,
That plagued some worthy relation!
TIT may be not d in connection with tn
above that ".John Godfrey SAKE" IN the ency
clopedias starts with John Godfrey SAKE.
While fairly entitled to be classed with tn
American "lmmortals," he probably did no
know, or know of his grandtather.-ED

Why Not?

Punctuation and paragraphing has been
wonderfully lessened by the modern news,
editorial and essay writer. Formerly il WAS
assumed that only by liberal use of commas,
semi colons, dashes, etc, could the exact
shade of meaning be made apparent and the
slightest division in the line Of thought was
marked by a paragraph. 1t is no longer
deemed essential to clearness OF expression
and much space and labor is saved thereby
Next we shall probably begin to eliminate
the spacing; this may seem iinprobable-im-
practicable, but it will not prove to be so,
and to demonstrate the reasonableness OF
that statement it Is Only necessary to call at.
ten,ion to the fact that syllabcatlon is effec.
ted readily without spacing the syllables in
print

Our Band.

Everybody has good word for our band
and justly. Their proficiency is out of all
proportion to the age of the organization
1t can I've accounted for, however; there is
natural talent in the band and the members
practice assIduously and both are known to
be requisites. The public was disposed to be
generous with them at their festival, hut the
rainy weather shortened the attendance
They did very well under the unfavoraolo
conditions.

MAYOR McLane's Death.

Alensts are advancing their theories TO
account for the death of Mayor McLane by
his own hand, hut the facts of the case are
against them and only the most improbable
things 90 to hear ont their theory. 1t is
plain that few believe that it was suicide,
such great tIrrt being made to show the
possibility OF accident. It is mystery that
will not likely ever be solved; neither suicide
nor accident seems to meet fully the require
ments of satisfactory explanation.
