comfort of the travel, than were ever heard
from the omnibus passengers of that day.
The age, oh the age in which we live,
the fast age; steam, electricity, all too slow;
or else it may just be possible the people
are trihe too fast.
As a. rule you will find that the pas
senger who is in the greatest hurry to get
to the end of his journey, and complains
most about the slowness of the train, the
pokiest old thing he ever saw in the way
of a railroad train, has little to do when he
gets there. He is at least, as rule, not
a we'll balanced business man, or he would
know that the management, for It's own
interests, if for no other reason, was doing
the very best it could for the comfort and
convenience of its passengers.
Slow travel, bad servants and bad
weather are fruitful subjects Of discourse
by those who have nothing more import
ant to talk about, or at least nothing SO
handy.
All of our beautiful little city, as we
see it today, except some sparsely scattered
houses which stood, in village fashion,
along the Baltimore and Reisterstown
Turnpike, which passes through the town,
has been built within the past fifty years.
And the first of the group of magnificent
buildings, now browning College Hill, was
erected just forty years ago. Westminster
is one of our most attractive inland towns,
and its high altitude and easy access to
Baltimore city, makes it one of the most
desirable places of residence in our State "

ster and Emmlttsburg via Taneytown, and
another line running between Westminster
and Uniontown daily. These coaches carried
the United States mail and also passengers,
and were we'll patronized for that day of
travel. The trip to Baltimore was made
in about hours, the horses being changed
twice on the trip, breakfast for the passen-
gers being taken at Reisterstown. This
line Of old stage coaches was subsequently
replaced by omnibusses, which were used
until the completion of the Western Mary
land Railroad to Westminster in 1860.
The omnibuss was considered great i'm
provement on the old stage coach, was
more commodious and much more comfort
able in every way. 1t was what the Pull
man Palace Car of this day of luxurious
travel is to the ordinary passenger coach.
But Notwithstanding this improved means
Of travel, it meant something, as we think
the reader will understand, to get up at
about a. m. on cold winter morning,
and hustle about in order to get ready for
start to Baltimore an hour later, Think
of it, several hours ride before daylight,
with the thermometer in the neighborhood
ofzero and no possible way of getting heat
into that coach. Why the mere recital of
it makes one shiver. And then the time
occupied in reaching Baltimore, so slow,
five hours in getting to Baltimore and in a
cold coach at that.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to be
between 80 and so; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot be
too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Nature s
best helper after so is Electric Bitters,
the scientific tonic medicine that re.
vltalizes every organ of the body.

In the majority of instances each hold is of the wrestler's own invention, or has been adopted by him owing to some particular feature of his style of wrestling or physical makeup that makes him particularly effective in it's dangerous execution.
 When I was in my teens. just breaking into the game. Farmer Burns had attained a world wide reputation with his strangle hold. This is without exception the most dangerous hold known to the game, especially when used by one who Is thoroughly schooled in its execution. It was Burns who first brought this hold out. and it was while under his tutorship that l learned to properly execute it. In my younger days I depended principally upon my strength and skill in obtain ing this hold to win my matches Burns schooled me thoroughly in the fine points Of the strangle.
 During the year that I spent under his careful guidance he locked it onto me until l thought that my head and respiratory organs were going to blow up. There is nothing quite so bad as having your wind supply shut off when you need every bit of air that your bellows can pump into you once this hold is properly obtained by oEe who has strength enough to properly main tain il, there is absolutely no break from it. and it is only a question of seconds until one becomes unconscious. This hold is now universally barred. and it is right that it should be-

 This is a dangerous hold and causes the most intense pain imaginable. 1t seems tO stretch every ligament of the legs and back.
