Obituary.

James j. Ryland, of near Selbysport,
this county, departed this life Deem
Der 9th, 1906, at the age of sixty
eight years and sixteen days after
lingering illness of several months,
which he suffered with great patience
without murmur or complaint. Mr..
Ryland spent his life in this county
where he was well known and respected
by all with whom he had either business
or friendly intercourse.
While the greater part OF his life was
spent without the church which he
occasionally criticised because profess
ing Christians did not measure up to his
ideal land no Christian yet ever meas
ured up to what a worldly mind thinks
he ought to be, and never wilD, never
theless it is pleasant to record that Mr..
Ryland made a confession of saving
faith in Christ, the Son of God, in which
he earnestly repented of his sins, the
criticisms he had offered to His Church,
saying, Il am now ready to die when
! ever the Lord sees fit to call me, " and
was admitted to the membership of the
Methodist Episcopal church some
months before his death.
Mrs Amanda Ryland, his widow,
three brothers, and five sisters survive
to mourn their loss, which has become
his gain. G. w. Ryland has been a
banker for many years, and has served
two terms as lieutenant governor in the
state of Wisconsin where he still re-
sides. S. H. Ryland lives at Myers
dale, Pa, and the third brother, William
Ryland, lives in Friendsyille, Nd. His
sisters are: Mrs. Harriet Liston, aged
SO, of Selbysport, Nd, Mrs. Mary Cod
dington, Of Elder, Md, Mrs. Malinda
Kelley, of GAINESVILLE, w. Va, Mrs
Elvira Frazee, Of Elder, Md, and Mrs
Hannah Frazee, of Frazee Ridge, Nd.
One of the favorite hymns that the
deceased heard so often sung by his
friends around his bedside is:
my Fathers house is bright and fair,
Nor pain nor death can enter there;
It's glittering tower the sun out-shine,
That heavenly mansion shall be mine -

3. IMMORAL ASSOCIATIONS. MANY
divorce case has been begun on the
playground of the public school. The
unrestained mingling of the sexes in all
positions and places is productive Of
sad results. We overlook entirely
what we would not allow for moment
among pupils of an advanced age. We
think that because they are children
they should receive larger license. The
very fact that they are children
make prohibitions all the more neces-
sary. Nor is the indiscriminate min
Cling of the sexes the only evil associa-
tons of the playground. There are
those of the same sex that delight to
spread immortality among their compan-
ions. Our Fairgrounds could be filled
with the graves of those whose lives
have been wrecked in this way.
The question may next arise, what
may be done to hinder these immorali-
ties? The answer of which may be
given in next issue, as want Of time
prevents it now.

W0RiDlIkESS.

Some better word than ''worldliness''
ought to be invented to characterize the
condition of men and women who neg
lect to cultivate the religious side of life
according to the traditions that have
prevailed in the churches. AS the word
is used from many pulpits there is in it
a misleading implication that the affairs
of this world of ours are in some way
unworthy of the attention Of Christian
people. Preachers sometimes seem to
indicate by their eXhortations and their
prayers that Christian men and women
ought to cease thinking about this
world and devote their attention exclusi-
vely to a consideration of some other
world
Most people understand. of course,
that these ministerial warnings and ex-
hortations are aimed at the tendency of
people to think only of the concerns of
the physical and material side of life,
neglecting the culture of character and
the development of personality along
spiritual and ethical lines. There is
danger, however, in any loose use of
words, and it is to be feared that Zoe
many, both in pulpit and in pew, simply
make mental catalogue of job lot of
good, bad and Indifferent activities and
interests, and clap the label worldly
on them, and from that time forth feel
that some discredit attaches to such
things per Sc.
In the minds of some good people,
too, there may arise a confusion of
thought as to the value of mere senti-
mental speculation about some vague
idea Of a sorrowless, self-indulgent, toll
free existence in some other world, as
compared with life of efficient service
in the very good world in which we hap
pen to find ourselves just now This
world and the people in it and their acf
tivities and interests are, and ought to-
be, the chief present concern of every
thoughtful man and woman. The
worlds work and its play, its laughter
and it's tears, its victories and its de-
feats, even its foibles, its sins and its
crimes the whole broad range of our
humanity experience in this present
life-all these should come within the
ken and the sympathy Of the man who
wants to serve his fellow men up to the
limit of his ability and opportunity
That kind of other worldliness which
narrows mems sympathies which rem
ders them censorious and intolerant,
which makes men thank God that they
are not as other men are, which prompts
men to make their conscience do duty
for their neighbors, to set themselves
apart from the rest of the world and to
hold themselves aloof from its activi-
tives, as from pollution such ideals of
unworldliness, fortunately, have little
vogue in this our day, and the sooner
they disappear from pulpit and pew, the
better for both.
That time-honored "evil trinity" as
has been called, the world, the flesh
and the devil, has no fundamental bond
of unity. His Satanic Majesty ought
to have nothing to do with either of the
others. The right kind of worldliness
is certainly better than the wrong kind
of other-worldliness.

NOTES By THE WAY
nr. z. W. KelSo Writes Of His Travels
toNew Mexico.

To the Editor of The Republican.
left Oakland January 18th on train
So to visit my son in Las Cruces. New
Mexico. | stopped one day in Green
field, Ohio, with James Kelso, in pros
porous town of 5000 population, con-
tanning many fine buildings, among the
number NJ. E. church costing SIS, 900;
one padding factory for horse collars,
employing six hundred persons The
daily output is immense, using twenty
tons of strap steel monthly for making
pad hooks.
continued my journey, arriving in
st. Louis the 18th and remained with
Jonas Simon, a former Garrett coun-
tan, until the 18th, when | took the
Cotton Belt R. R., travelling through
Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. As
our train glided through Red River val
ley, saw hundred or more colored
women and children picking the last
ripening crop Of cotton.
The soil is red and very productive.
1t is interesting to note the adaptability
of the soil. Some planted in cotton,
corn and alfalfa all adjoining. Alfalfa
was about six inches high, thick on
ground and dark green color.
Arriving in Shreveport, La, l found
thriving city of thirty thousand popu-
lation, with nine railroads, street cars,
waterworks. etc | found the weather
warm and nice, Thermometer register
ing 70 in the shade.
Our train missing connection, we re-
NAMED until 9 D. M, bound for Hous-
ton, Texas. The country between
Shreveport and Houston has many saw
mill plants, and in Humble, Texas,
quite an oil field. Through the timbers
and streets of small towns the razor
back hog is much in evidence.
We saw large flocks of goats and
about one hundred Jersey cows near
Houston. We took side trip to Alvin,
% miles south Of Houston, and saw
thousands of cattle feeding on prairie,
apparently in good condition. Alvin is
a small town, where early vegetables
and Strawberries are shipped by the car
Load. The shipping season is now on.
Houston has a population Of $4,000

country between Houston and San

Allesany Surveys Boundary.

William Harvey, surveyor of Ale
gany county, has completed the sur
vey of the boundary line between Gar
rett and Allegany counties under the
direction Of the commissioners of the
latter The boundary is in dispute and
Garrett will not give up the rich strip
of mineral land to Allegany without
struggle.
The boundary is laid off with the
stone posts mile apart. The Chisholm
line was followed, but the Garrett peo-
pie contend that the law says the line
shall meet the Mason and Dixon line at
the highest point of Savage mountain,
while the Chisholm line does not meet
the Mason and Dixon line on Savage
mountain, but on the western slope Of
Little Savage mountain.

The following interesting article has
been received for publication in the Sc
ries. 1t should be productive of great
good to the schools Of our county:
FIELD FOR CONQUEST.
Allow ME to speak of work most
necessary to be done; work which
many teachers, either because of false
modesty or lack of knowledge, entire
ly ignore. will place it under three
heads:
l. IMMORAL LANGUAGE. The play
ground is often hot-bed of profanity
as well as obscenity. Here are the
children Of the most immoral families
as well as of the most moral. While
here they consider themselves neither
at home nor in school, they think them
selves lords of the playground, and
here we see them at their worst. The
boy who can deliver the longest and
vilest oath is the ''hero of the hour. -
The most obscene stories are reheareed
amid shouts Of boyish applause The
presence of young girl playmates often
aggravates rather than lessons the
evil. With the one and one-half hour
of intermission each day under such in
tiuences is it any wonder that many of
the intellectual seeds we SOW fall On
stony ground, or wither for want of
root?
2. IMMORAL SYMBOLS. This is one
of the most prolific sources of evil in
our schools The influence of the pro-
fame word and vile story is half dead
when the sound of the voice which ut
tered them has died away. Not so with
the penciled or knife-carved symbols.
Their influence is fully alive term after
term, year after year Boys have often
been seen looking upon these seeds of
evil, sown by their fathers in their
school days, while the vile story is heard
only by the little group gathered around
the speaker; but the symbols are read
by every passer-by, whether teacher or
pupil, boy or girl. Shall We as teach
ers, permit the walls dedicated to the
goddess of learning and culture, to be
engraved as scroll with the symbols
of degradation and sin? Shall we allow
the walls of the temple acknowledge to
