Somewhat SimpiA

A rather simple countryman had been induced 10 promise a fine hen of . particular breed in exchange for what was said to be fine rosebush. When the rosebush was brought, 1t turned out to be nothing else than . sprig with little root. The country. man grumbled, but the other said that he only had to wait few years and it would be fine bush. He then claim. ed the hen. The countryman went to his fowl house and brought out an egg.
 "That is not the fowl you promised me-" said the other.
 "No," said the countryman, "but you have only to wait year or two and It will grow into a fine fowl" l"-Scottish American.

to be gone about six weeks, and that
would make it easy for MIR. Mudd to
get back in time to start his bandwagon
out on time in the Fifth Congressional
district and for Mr.. Townsend to rally
the faithful in the Fifteenth district OF
Baltimore county to the victory-scarred
banner of Fred Talbot, who is again
running for Congress.
Neither Mr.. Mudd nor Mr. Town
send have ever been to Europe. They
concocted their plan and found their
combination to make the trip while at
Atlantic City, where Mr.. Mudd was re-
cuperating his health, and where Mrs
Townsend, who has been i'll for some
time, was also staying.
Mr.. Mudd believes the trip will Go
him good Mr.. Townsend thinks the
same thing about himself. Each is a
little bit afraid that at the last minute
the other will back out but Mr.. Town
send says he is going anyhow, whether
"Sydney" goes OF not. Since the news
that these two distinguished statesmen,
one a Republican and the other Dem
ocrat, were to make the trip together
leaked cut, various suggestions have
been offered them.
One of these was that when they get
on the other side Mr. Mudd assume his
proper title of king Of Charles Coun-
| ty" and that Mr.. Townsend be called the
Duke of Stemmer's Rum" SO that they
| shall not feel abashed in the presence OF
such monarchs as they may chance to
meet. Also it has been suggested that
it would be an act of kindness upon
their part to give to the Gar of Russia
few inside tips as to the best means
of suppressing political revolutions and
instructions. "Syd," for instance,
conld teach the Gear how to "run" a
Douma without overworking the under
taker making himself unpopular with
the "run-ees." Walter might make a
hit with Kaiser Wilhelm by present
ing him an autographed photograph of
Mr.. Talbot.
The possibilities and opportunities OF
the proposed trip are bewildering.-

Not to DOuble-Track.

The line of the Washington, Balti.
more and Annapolis Electric Railway
between Naval Academy junction and
Annapolis, on which last Fridays acct,
dent occurred, will not be double track
| ed, according to statement made re-
Gently by the president, Mr.. George T.
Bishop. Mr.. Bishop holds that the re-
| cent accident cannot be attributed to
the fact that the cars concerned were
being operated on single track, but
that it is directly traceable to disobe-
dience of orders Nor is it likely that a
| block system will be installed. Presi-
dent Bishop taking the ground that such
system is unnecessary on single
track.
Gears can be operated on single
track with regular hour or half-hour
schedule with perfect safety" said Mr..
Bishop. "That has been demonstrated
time and time again by nearly every
electric railway system in the country
From my home town, for instance,
Cleveland, number of lines radiate,
and many of them are single track.
Regular schedules are maintained with
safety. Then, too, there are number
of single-track systems running out of
Baltimore. There is the Baltimore an d
Annapolis Short Line, the Ellicott City
line of the United Railways and parts
of the Western Maryland. II all the
lines of electric railway companies were
to be double-tracked it would take all
the money in the county.
The accident on our line last Fri
day was due to violation of orders,
and where men disobey their instruc-
lions you are going to have accidents,
no matter how many tracks you have,
or what the system of dispatching you
use The man accused of disobeying
orders was an emploYe with eight
years experience, and we had every
confidence in him. 1t is inconceivaEle
how any man shonld violate an order
when he knows that fearful conse
quences may follow. The instructions
given in this particular instance were
explicit enough for perfect safety, yet
the accident followed. 1t is deplorable
but il is one of those unfortunate things
which will occur so long as We have
railroads.
"There is no occasion for putting in
a block system. That is designed for
double track roads to prevent rear-end
collisions. AS said before, cars can
be operated on single track with perfect
safety, but when men disobey positive
and explicit instructions, no system can
be invented to prevent the invtable
consequences. l am glad to know that
we have the kindly feeling and support
of the people of this community. That
is one of the encouraging things. We
shall operate our system in the best
possible way, and shall prove that we
merit their confidence and kindly in
terst.'
At the offices of the company Mon
day it was stated that the general
manager, w. E. Slaughter, who was
injured in the accident, is improving,
and that advices form the hospital say
he will not lose the sight of his other
eye.

Recipe for Rheuma tlsm.

There is so much Rheumatism here
in our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advice by an eminent authority,
who writes for readers of a large East
ern daily paper, viii be highly apprec-
lated by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one-halt
ounce Fluid Extract DandeIion, oul
ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces
Of Compound Syrup Sarsaparil!a
Shake these well in a bottle and take il
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime also drink plenty of good
water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
TINS of this dread and torturous disease
who will fail to find ready relief in this
simple home made mixture, and in most
cases permanent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eiiminative tissues
of the Kidneys, so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons. acids and waste matter
which cause not only rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their kid,
news are not healthy and active, or who
suffers from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make "
this mixture, as il is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.

with sound advice to the young men.
The Governor sail that Maryland was
among he fl st of the States to charter
an agricultural eollege. and declared
that it acted wisely. 1t is the duty Of
you young men," he continued, ''to
see that the great resources of your
Country are developed and expanded.
A great many young men are drifting
into the cities with the idea there is
more money to be made there than on
the farm. The young, in iustrious men
should remain on the farm, for IL farm
life is independeEc', peace and god]i
ness. Do not believe that yours is not
a work worthy Of your best energies.
There is something more in life than
mere bread winning. You owe it to
your State to do something outside Of
what your own selfish interests ma
indicate The dollar is not the wtiJ.e
thing, The State wants to see that yor
have strong, vigorous intellect, and
in return demands that you work to
advance her material and moral welfare
We want to dedicate our lives to build
ing up that country in which we live
and to help others to do likewise.
'There is no success in this life ex-
cept such as results from hard and CON
sistent labor. l cannot impress upon
you too strongly the propriety and wis
dom of continuing the habits Of appli
cation and study that you have acquir-
ed during your four year course now
about to end. Better leave Intoxicating
drinks alone. Some men drink and
can control the habit, but you are safer
when without strong drink altogether.
You will find that in the conflict of this
life you will need all the energies with
which nature has endowed you. At
tend the churches. Go to church, nc
matter what church. You always hear
something good there"

Bishop Of Washington.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton. to the baltimore American says
The feeling il growing among the
churchmen Of the EpicoFal Church II
this city thai when the diocesan con
venti0n is called 10 order on June !.
fer the purpose 0: elect ing bishop oI
WASHINGTON that a notion will be made
to adjourn the convention until fall,
because it is evident that large num-
Der Of prominent delegates, both cierl-
cal and lay, are out of town and many
of them out Of the country, and to elect
a bishop, under the circumstances,
would not be advisable. Efforts are be-
ing made to get Bishop Brent to recon
slider his declination of the election as
bishop of Washington. Many of the
leading churchmen have written or sent
messages to him, telling him that the
work to which he has been called in
Washin gton was as great as that now
in the Philippines, and that he could
do good work for the Philippines from
Washington as he could by remaining
in the islands This will be used
at the convention to secure postpone
ment with the hope that Bishop Brent
NAV reconsider and accept the call.
Of the many clergymen spoken Of for
the place as bishop of Washington, the
one most popular and who seems to be
in a position to secure the election is
Rev. Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity
Church, at Boston. He is comparative
ly a young man aud an earnest worker,
and his strength among the delegates
seems to be growing daily. Bishop
Mackay-Smith, assistant bishop OF
PENNSYLVANIA, has been spoken for the
election, and he is exceedingly popular,
especially among his old congregation
of St. Johns but the can0ns Of the
church will prevent the election of any
diocesan bishop or coadjutor bishop TO
be bishop of any diocese in the United
States, and therefore bishop Mackay-
Smith could not be voted for. The con-
yention is called to meet at the Epiph-
any Church on Wednesday next, June
18th.
