Home.

Shelter thrice sweet for those who
claim its care
It's pains and blessings share:
For friend and kinsman, aye a fire
side chair.
Bread for dear lips-the lips we love
the best:
And for the unsought guest.
Or low or high, portion with the rest.
Light for the close-drawn circle
cheerful light;
And glimpsed through curtains white
A beam for those that traverse the
dark night
Love for the hearts that none can
tempt to roam
And showers on all who come,
Loves overflow of solace: Such il
home.

Dear Miss valeau: Is mutton tallow
or olive oil good for the skin Mrs. w.
J.. Ogden.
Neither olive oil nor mutton tallow is
the proper thing to use for the COM

ladies' faces are not becoming.

Dear Miss Valeau: Do you know of
any remedy for scars Nurse, Salt
Lake.
Scars are caused by the destruction
of tissue. When this destruction is
complete nothing in the world will re-
move the white blemish. When the in
jury is only partial much can be done
by amounting the spot with zinc ONT
meDt pVerV Dioht and hafhinp II with
a saturate solution of boric acid every
morning. Electric massage treatments
are helpful for the reason that they
bring the blood to the surface and en-
courage a thoroughly healthy action of
skin and glands.

Autumn.

Autumn comes with robes of gold
Through the woodland straying;
To my heart that groweth cold
Autumn comes; with robes of gold
She doth fretful thoughts enfold,
Wintry ways delaying;
Autumn comes with robes of gold
Through the woodland straying.
Autumn is an elfin maid
She hath moods beguilding,
Sometimes sun and sometimes shade:
Autumn is an elfin maid,
Weareth mask of winter staid,
Or of summer, smiling.
Autumn is an elfin maid
She hath moods beguiling.
Jewelled Autumn, sun-beSet,
We shall mis- your glances,
The gray world for you viii fret,
Jewelled Autumn sun-beset,
In a stately minuet
Queen of dainty dances!
Jewelled Autumn, sun-beset,
We shall miss your glances!

Fatal Wreck.

An open switch at the Western Mary
land railroad bridge at Keyser on
Thursday caused the derailment of the
engine ana five or six cars of an east
bound freight train on the Western
Maryland railroad. Charles Grim the
engineer, who resided in Cumberland,
was caught in the wreckage and SO bad
ly injured that he died after being
taken to the Keyser hospital.
H. Bloom, fireman, who lives at
Ridgely, opposite Cumberland, was
painfully injured. The derailment &C.
cured at the east end of the bridge,
after the engine had passed over the
bridge the misplaced switch being at
the other end. 1t was regarded as a
most fortunate occurrence that Il e
train did not go into the river.

Rayner on Bryan

III an interview published in the Bal
timore Sun, Senator Isador Raynor
says ofM r. Bryan's candidacy pres
i1ent in 1908:
81 think the Democratic party would
do better to nominate mai Of convict
ions and principles rather than a figure
head or nonentity. | would rather
have man wrong if he is honest than
TO have a swimmer with the tide who i
afraid to buffet the waves, and is sim
ply making for the shore.
st will not do continued Senator
Rayner, "to wage negative campaign
five have no issues, we might as well
say SO and make the contest on the
character of our candidates. My own
judgement is-and it is deliberate one
not formed under sudden impulse CT
momentary ethusiam, that Bryan will
perhaps poll as many Democratic votes
as any other man that | know of in the
party. | know Mr.. Bryan well per-
sonally, and care not what others say
who never came in contact with him
| know that he is not obstinate about
his opinion. He is always willing to
confer and modify his views unless it is
a matter of conviction with him, and
thea he will fight it out, win or lose.
| do not think i'll reading over hi
speech, that he has come ia an unalt
terahle conclusion upon the subject of
government ownership Of railroads. He
regards il as question for the future;
so do great many other people, but he
makes no imperative demrnd that i
must be placed in the platform or &C
pied as the policy of the party

New York, Sept. 4.-Norman r.
Mack, of Buffalo, member OF the
Democratic National Committee, ex-
pressed some surprise today that the
sublic had forgotten speech mode by
President Roosevelt last fall at Chau-
tauqua, when the Chief Executive de-
clared himself in favor of Government
ownership of railroads under certain
conditions.
"Mr. Bryan, in advocating govern
ment ownership of railroads, used al
most the precise language OF President
Roosevelt in a speech ne made at
Chautauqua last fall.'' said Mr.. MACK.
/ cannot remember the date Of that ad.
dress, but / was there at the time.
President Underwood, of the Erie Rali-
road, aud several prominent railroad
men also heard the PRESIDENTS words. "
"On that OCCASION" continued Mr..
Mack, president Roosevelt declared
that if a satisfactory rate bill could not
be prepared and Federal regulations OF
railroads accom- plished in that way the
Government would be compelled TO
take over the railroads"

John Olinger, Baltimore and Ohio
trackman employed on the iow-grade
between North Mountain and Cherry
Run, was struck by passenger train
No a short distance east ofth North
Mountain station Thursday evening at
Z o'clock and instantly killed.
Olinger was on the track as the
train approached and supposing it was

upon him. He was hurled consider
able distance into the air and was dead

The largest crowd of the present
Morgan's Grove fair was on the
ground Thursday, attracted by the con-
tests at the horse show. There were
an unusually large number OF entries
and the contest for prizes in the differ

spirited.
Among the winners was Miss Saliie
Faulkner, of this city, who was
awarded blue ribbon for her splendid

the doubles to pole. Miss Faulkner
drove the handsome pair OF Mr.. Nc
Donald, of Clarke county, hitched TO
her own neat trap, and her work was
frequently applauded.
Mrs. Ernest Mcdonald, of berkeley

Maids and husbands will be glad to
know that milady's dress fastenings
are veering around to the front again,
if one may judge from some of the
smart frocks seen at the Newport Horse
Show, which during its three-day run
of gorgeous dress display showed many
of the imported models for the first
time.
Another thing, those invisible hooks
and eyes which have been the torment
of the fashionable world for two seasons
are fast disappearing, and it is not too
much to predict that smartly gowned
women may be able to get into their
fan and winter costumes unaided, if
necessary.
Enameled clasps, tailor buttons and
fancy buttons boldly proclaimed just
where the dress was fastened at the big
clothes meet in Newport. Many vests
which we have lost so long and missed
from the toilet were displayed.
Colored ostrich feathers were seen in
profusion and gold embroidery garn-
ished lace and cloth gowns. Velvet
ribbon as trimming was neticeably
popular and the neck ruff still holds its
own.-From Newport Letter,

Another Railroad Tax Case.

Judge Parsons heard the appeal tax
Use of the Baltimore and Ohio in Mon.
olghalia County on Wednesday and at
the same time handed down his decis-
ion in the Point Pleasant case. The
two cases were identical, and there is
every reason to suppose that his decis
ion will be the same in both cases. The
text of his decision in the Point Pleas
ant case is as follows
II decide, first, that the property of
the Ohio River division of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad may be legally
assessed for taxation to the latter, be -
cause the stock OF the former is su b.
stantally all owned and the road s
controlled and operated by the latter.
'',Second, that the statute requires all
railroads 10 be assessed and taxed IL
Guiding their franchise, and that the
method to be pursued by the board n
ascertaining and fixing railroad values
is sufficiently pointed out by the
statute.
railroad system in the state should be
considered as a single profit earning
unit in ascertaining its value for the
purpose of taxation and after arriving
at its aggregate value in this way the
aggregate should be appertioned by the
board among the several counties
through which the roads pass.
Fourth, the net earnings of the sys-
tenn in this state for 1905 was S., 494 =
094.20, as reported by the company.
Ifthls be capitalized at 6 per cent we
have sol $50, 260.66, which we would
hold TO be the value of the road for
purposes of taxation and this sum ex-
ceeding the value fixed by the board
and it not being shown that the COM
pAny is prejudiced by the apportiont-
.nent made by the board among the
counties, the decision reached by the
board is confirmed"

A Woman's wall.

There was an old women who was
always tired
For she lived in a house where help
want hired.
Her last words on earth were: "Dear
friends | am going
To where there's no washing nor
churning nor sewing.
I'll be where all things are exact to
my wishes
For where there's no cooking there's
no washing dishes.
I'll be where the loud hallelujahs are
ringing
But having no voice I'll get quit of the
singing.

never,
Pm going to do nothing forever and
ever.n

Mistakes I'm Measuring Age.

Age is not a question of years but OF
experience and Of the effect thereof on
the body. brain or heart. a man may
be "oldu atL3o or young at 20. The fact
of measuring age in years leads to dis
NAL consequences. One who counts
his years becomes the victim of
dreadful autosuggeston. He THINKS
that he should begin to decline at 20
and not from any inherent reason. Sc
he proceeds to decline. His vjgo is
Slapped by date. Perhaps ii would b'
well to abolish all records Of births
and never allow ahy one TO know his
own age in.years.

City Council.

The regular session of the council
last Thursday, was very lengthy one
but only minor matters were consid-
cred. Those present were Coun cilmen
Lemen, Poole, Cushwa, Rentch, Lit
tie, Thompson, Zill and Mcdowell,
with Mayor Harrison in the chair.
The application of a resident who
wished to borrow the stone crusher be-
longing to the city was laid on the
table, and it was decided that no one
would be permitted TO borrow the
crusher except by filing with the city
clerk 5000 to protect the city against
loss.
The application of the county COM
missioners for the use of the street
roller was favorably considered, as the
county officials loaned the city their
road scraper.
Mr.. George Walters appeared before
the council and filed verbal com q.
plant against the Little bowling alley
and asked that council take steps to
prevent noise there late at night.
Mr.. Little's place is operating under
license, and it would be difficult to
afford Dir. Walters the relief asked
for.
The subject of sidewalks occupied
the uncil the greater portion of the
evening, and number of walks were
ordered laid. Among those who go
down in the more important streets
are those IF Henry Gaver and the
Witherow heirs, on West John street,
and the sidewalks extending from the
postoffice to Burke street, on the West
side of Maple avenue.
The gutter along the Race street side
of Mr.. A. Lords property, at the c. r
ner of Queen and Race, was ordered re
paired.
Mr.. Mcdowell called the attention
of the council to the fact that a big
tree standing in the sidewalk on Nor h
Queen street, in the fifth ward and said
he would like to have ii removed. Mr..
Rentch remembered that tree stands
in gutter in his ward, on North Maple
avenue, and was also sollcitous for the
safety of his constituents. Mr.. Lem
en- reported similar obstruction il.
his ward, on East King street, and
Mr. Little called attention to another
tree on the Sidewalk on Wiz chester
avenue. They were placed in the hands
of the different counclmen with power
to act.
1t was ordered that the salaried fire
men keep the apparatus in the hook
and ladder house in good condition,
and also keep the firemen's hall in
shape.
