ing article written about town or
its people, and for no cause what
ever, and in answering we shall
say nothing about the people of
Hancock, knowing as we do that
there are plenty Of good people in
that town who will not sanction
the article, but shall pay our re-
spects entirely to that individual.
The party who penned the article
is certainly the lowest, meanest,
most contemplate scoundrel that
ever went unhung, and a hooley-
cooley, chicken thief, robber, muir
derer and seducer is far superior
in every respect to such low bred
cur. We would be only too glad
to publish his name if we knew
who 1t was so that we could show
the world the lowest type of hu-
manlty, and posing as teacher of
men. The people of Hancock
must be degenerating indeed to
allow such vile, loathsome brute
to reside in their midst. He not
only villihes our people, but his
entire article is abusive lies from
beginning to end, and his next
visit to this town will not be as
calm and serene as the one he
speaks of in his article. He will
find that the people of Williams
port are not all in the penitentiary,
nor are they dead. but are men of
intelligence and industry, and at
the time he was here they were all
at their daily avocations and not
sitting around whiting store
boxes and backbiting their neigh
bors. He will also find them ready
to resent an insult, and unless we
are mistaken a good cowhiding
with a ducking awaits him. We
were going to say in the river or
canal. but the water in these two
streams is too pure to be befouled
with such a carcass. A cess pool
will be more congenial for so vile
being Such a william is dan
gerous to the entire county and
state, for there is no telling when
he will reek his wrath upon some
other community, and we would
suggest that vigilance commit
tee be formed to wait upon this
vile traduCer Of the human family
and give him a coat of tar and
feathers and turn him loose in
some uninhabited mountain to
spend the rest of his days, for
surely no community is liable to
be exempt from his damaging cpl
thets, no matter how pure they
may be. :"

TOO VIOLENT THIS
FOR HOT WEATHER.
Hancock and Williamsport News
paper Men Break the Drowsy
Tedium.

The Hancock Star and the Will
Transport Leader are making
faces" and calling names, and the
public that cannot see the show
can picture that all is not quiet
along the Potomac now.
The Leader commenced the
quarrel by criticising the construc-
ton of model road between Han
cock and Pennsylvania line, and
suggested that it be built between
Williamsport and Boonsboro.
The Star hit back in this man
ner:
The above queer nonsense
comes from Willian1sport, the
worse town in the county. True
ly it has an international reputa-
ton for hooleygooleyism and
chicken theiving.
II went through Williamsport
a few days ago, with friend.
After traversing one deserted
street after another my friend
turned to me and said; Are they
all in the penitentiary.' No
said I, some are in the cemetery,
but they have mighty tough time
trying to keep still
The few live people left in
Williamsport to watch the houses
there envy the dead their rest and
are eternally trying to disturb
them. Are these a safe people to
have model road? Perhaps en-
ough convicts from Williamsport
can be secured to break the stone
tor our model road. The alleged
taxpayers from that district would
then have all opportunity to see
the road. The road from Will
Transport to Boonsboro is recom-
mended desiring communications
with Wiiliamsport. The roads
leading into Williamsport should
be closed, the town fenced in with
concrete wall, the streets plowed
up and sowed in buckWheat. They
have had enough wild oats down
there. When the good citizens of
Williamsport District take the
bum element IN charge and con-
troll it; when the town is resur-
rected and new life put in to it,
then the time will have come for
for it to look forward to a model
road.
"Model roads for model citizens.
That why Hancock gets it."
Editor McCardell cracks his

heavy bar across the door; all
seems to his drowsy powers su-
perhuman exertion. Yet there
comes at length point where it
IS easier far for the sleepy niggard
to get up and have done with the
matter, than to be periodically
reused by the persistent knocking
and calling.
The force of the parable is in
its contrasts. Gods eye is never
closed in slumbcr. Gods self is
love. His treasures are inexhaust-
ible. He delights to give. There
is no indifference or Discrimination
on the part of God which must be
first overcome by mans importu-
nifty. The delay in answer, if
there is any, is for the recipients
own highest advantage; that he
may study anew his supposed
needs, may analyze his motives,
may review the promises, so that
when at length the answer comes,
he may be in a state of mind and
heart to avail himself of the bless
ing to the uttermost. Postpone
ment is for the advantage of the
receiver, not the Giver.
The Paternoster is still in Jesus
mind. Earthly fathers have iudg-
ment to discriminate between good
and evil gifts for their children.
They have natural affection enough
to incline them to bestow only the
good. If that be so-and who de-
MES it?-how will not the Heav-
emily Father, infinite in wisdom,
power, and love, bestow that all
inclusive gift, the life and light Of
the soul, the Holy Spirit, to those
who, out of the vocabulary of the
Paternoster, and in the spirit of
the parable, ask Him?

Grasshopper In a Glacier.

One of the small glaciers in Mon tana is of especial interest on account or the fact that in the mass of ice there are imbedded two strata ot grasshoppers, each about a foot thick There are literally tons of grasshop. pers in the ice and the question nat urally arises as to where they came from. The most obvious explanation IS that centuries ago two enormous swarms in course of migration were caught in snowstorm, chilled and buried in the snow, where they have remained till now in a perfect state of preservation.-Country Life in America.

WASHINGTON.-It is proposed in Septem- Der to have Q review of the biggest fleets of American warships ever assembled. It will take place either in the waters of Long Island Sound or off the coast of Massachusetts and will be wit messed by President Roosevelt. Before he left Washington Mir Roosevelt informed Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte that he wished to inspect the Atlantic fleet before it left for the southern drill grounds in the early autumn. The secre- tary is now making the preparations to have the big fleet assembled some time in September and 1t is probable that in addition to the president the reviewing party will include Secretary Bona parte and Admiral Dewey and several members of the house and senate committees on naval af- fairs.
