Don't forget to drop a little of the ''green" to
the poor editor who is buried up to the neck in
delinquent subscriptions.
March the seventeenth will be decorated with the
same this thirtieth day Of May.
The town bank will be out in all its glory
while the country newspaper will blow about it
The nation, this day, will be one Grand Army
for there is post of duty for all.
Even lift should rain let the flowers shower
away.
This is day of golden opportunities for silver
tongued orators.
There have been bitter feelings between the
blue and the gray but they have been sweetened
by the oil of harmony.
If. perhaps, the end was bitter, let the remem
brance be sweet
Respects for the dead amount to nothing com
pared to the respects while living.
Don't forget to drop flower on the buried
hatchet.
Let sweet memory be deeper than the tomb.
blossom on the grave isworth two on the nose
Even as the dead, let there be rest this one day
from your labors.
-s'I notice on the program of the memorial
service the name of Rev. Wayupp, D. D., as one
of the speakers. 1 never knew he had that title
-"He hasn't. You know this is Decoration
Day."
1t shouldn't give you pleasure to walk over the
grave of one who has tramped you down while in
life.
One word of comfort now is worth dozen for
get-me-nots on your grave later on.
So far as being numbered among the dead is
concerned the thought cuts no figure with great
many folks.
Real regrets are worth more than flowers on the
grave.
Memories are often buried with the corpse.
Champagne may have bouquet,
But too much will cause
Real pains among the 'boys."
On Decoration Day.
There are those who profess to be your friend
who would dig up your dead body if they thought
for a moment that there was dollar under your
coffin.
May you so live that your good deeds shall be
remembered rather than the location OF your
grave.
Let Bryan put silver wreathe on q dead issue
The mark of respect is often made with only q
lead pencil.
There is such thing as having too many
friends. You may have enough already to follow
you to the grave.

St. johns College Players Dis
qualified.

Chalmer c. Reynolds, of this town,
VIM. Mackie, of Fair Hill, Fred Hoover,
of Cecilton, and Charles Carroll, of Bel
Air, who entered St. Johns College, An.
napolis, last fall and have been playing
this spring on the ball team of that insti.
tuition, have been disqualified from play.
ing in any of the inter. collegiate cham
pionship games.
Saturdays Baltimore News announced
that the judiciary committee ofthe Mary.
land Inter-C Collegiate Association decided
Friday afternoon that Carroll third
basel, Make (shortstop), Reynolds
(pitcher) and Hoover (second base) OF
st. Johns baseball team are ineligible to
play on the team while St. Johns remains
in the Inter Collegiate Association. The
declaration of the ineligibility of the
players was brought about by protest
by Washington College on the charge
that Make, Reynolds and Hoover had
played ball on the Betterton, md. team
for money last summer, while Carroll
had received scholarship for his services,
contrary to the constitution of the Asso-
citation that none of its players shall have
received money for playing ball before
entering the school, and that none of the
colleges shall offer scholarships to any
player for his services on the team.
1t is rumored that counter charges will
be brought against Wilson and Moore Of
Washington College, who are known to
have also played on the Betterton team.
That Moore and Wilson did play on
the Betterton team was admitted by the
athletic authorities of Washington Col.
lege at the first meeting of the judiciary
committee. but defense was made tina,
their position was different, as they were
already bonafde students of Washington
College, having entered the previous year.

THE SOUTHERN COYOTE.

Habits of This Cunning Animal De-
scribed by President Roosevelt.
These southern coyotes or prairie
wolves are only about one-third the
size of the big gray timber wolves Of
the northern Rockies. They are too
small to NEEDLE with full grown horses
and cattle, but pick up young calves
and kill sheep as well as any small do
mesticated animal that they can get at.
The big wolves flee from the neigh
borhood Of anything like close settle
ments, but coyotes hang around the
neighborhood Of man much more per-
sistently. They show foxlike cum
ming in catching rabbits, prairie dogs,
gophers and the like. After nightfall
they are noisy, and their melancholy
wailing and yelling are familiar sounds
to all who pass over the plains. The
young are brought forth in holes In cut
banks or similar localities.
Within my own experience have
known Of the finding of but two fam
lilies. In one there was but single
family of five cubs and one old animal,
undoubtedly the mother; in the other
case there were ten or eleven cubs and
two old females which had apparently
shared the burrow or cave, though liv-
ing in separate pockets. In neither
case was any full grown male coyote
found In the neighborhood. AS regards
these particular filters, the father
seemingly had nothing to do with tax
ing care of or supporting the family.
am not able to say whether this was
accidental or whether it is rule that
only the mother lives with and takes
care OF the litter. 1 have heard con-
trary statements about the matter from
hunters who should know. Unfortu-
nately have learned from long expert
ence that it is only exceptional hunters
who can be trusted to give accurate
descriptions Of the habits of any beast
save such as are connected with its
chase.
Coyotes are sharp, wary, knowing
creatures, and on most occasions take
care to keep out Of harms way.-From
"a Wolf Hunt In Oklahoma" by The
odore Roosevelt, in Scribner's Maya
zlne. ---~'- -- -

Was Luat Dream.

"Some old fellow over at Fort Sill
who has been in this section Of the
country for good many years once
dreamed that there was an Indian
massacre on the summit of Signal
mountain. He afterward began to tell
that dream, and at length told the sto-
ry for the truth. That dream has gone
down in history as an actual fact.
There never was a massacre on this
mountain, nor even battle of any
sort. In early days. after the establish
ment Of Fort Sill, the soldiers had a
signal station there, built the house
that is now crumbling in ruins and
possibly observed the maneuvers Of
many Comanches. '-Lawton News

Nothing is better to take on rising
than a cupful of hot water. One hot
drink on an empty stomach clears the
system for the day, and for many per-
sons tablespoonful of lemon juice in
creases the efficacy. Taken on going
to bed without lemon. it will help to
induce sleep. Both night and morning
it has the effect of helping to clear the

President Smith addressed the court.
He stated that his last marriage was il

entered into with the sanction of his
church, and, as they believed with the
approval of the Lord. According to his
faith and the law of the church, they

assessed against Joseph Ralph Burton,
ex-senator from Kansas, now in jail in

The assistant district attorney, f: F.

not compulsory to file a suit in the Kan
district court covering Abilene, Kan,
Burton's home, in its jurisdiction All
that will be required is to send an execu-
ton to the Kansas federal authorities and
let them proceed against any property
which Burton may own in case that he
does not pay the fine.
If Burton makes an affidavit at the end
of thirty days following the expiration
of his sentence that he does not possess
sufficient funds to pay the fine he will
have to be liberated according to law.

industry in nearly all lines is still
pushed to the limit Of production, and
little relief from the prevailing car
congestion is yet apparent. despite the
fact that the movement of certain

The grain markets have displayed
fair audiences with a few d1cflIa tfOns

producing centers, part of which is at

feeling grows however, that the mill

rather quiet and materials are not very
active, although lumber is in fair re-

to wheat, total arrivals at primary
