Will It be High License 2-The Highland
town Sentinel of last week said High license
versus local option is agitating the otherwise
placid political waters at Annapolis these days,
and it is whispered that local option is not at
all in favor by the Legislature as a whole.
There are plenty Of the delegates, however,
who firmly believe that the liquor traffic should
be curbed, and any one looking for license
fee of less than $500 for Baltimore city and
county, with from $500 to $500 for the balance
Of the State, is likely to be fooled. The Bati-
more county delegation is said to be practically
a unit for license fee for this county as high,
or very nearly so, as will be placed upon the
city, for the reason that much lower fee would
result in making the suburban districts verita-
BILE dumping grounds for low dives and disrep-
utable saloons. So if Baltimore city wants
$500 fee, Baltimore county will also likely get
one within $780, at the lowest, ofthat mark"

The Busy Snow-Plowers Must Stop
On Tuesday the County Commissioners took
up the question of running snow-plows on the
roads and directed Roads Engineer Shirley
to instruct the supervisors to see that the prac-
tice of running the snow .plows in the middle
Of the roads is stopped.
They also said that no pillow with greater
roads and that the path made by them should
be on one side of the road and slope toward the
gutter.
Mr.. Shirley pointed out that the roadbeds
were often greatly damaged by the snow-plows
running along the middle of them, as the path
thus made forms a gutter and the water rum
ming in it damages the roads.

WEALTHY MAN SHINES SHOES.

Ohioan Worth $4,000 Still sticks to
Old Trade-COOlSs for Vacation.
If you had $4,000 slowed comfort
ably away in a bank. would you shine
shoes at 10 cents a clip seven days, year
in and year out? 1t is not very likely
Shartle, one of the unique fnanciers Of
Dayton, is doing, and, moreover, he is
happy and can't be induced to quit his
job, says the Ohio State Journal. The
only time Shartle gives up his "shine
box" is during the autumn, when, ac-
companied by his brother, he makes the
rounds Of the country fairs of Ohio.
This week he is at the State fair, con-
Quoting a restaurant under the grand
stand. This is his vacation. 1t gives
him rest from bending over the mud
dy boot and at the same time he is
adding to his fortune and having good
time, which means something to a fel-
low who is making thousands of dol
lars, 10 cents at time.
Shartle began his moneymaking ca
reer in Dayton in 1867, when he discov-
cred that there was more money in pol
ishing a pair of shoes at 10 cents than
in cooking meals for which some one
else obtained the profit. He had been
cook in his youth. When he changed
his trade business was small at first,
but gradually he increased it, until n
the present time his clientele is suIi-
clent to keep him busy all day-eyery
| lay.
When Shartle shines your shoes they
! reflect your face and the heavens above.
! Most of his trade is confined to Office
/ buildings and large stores. Moneymak-
/ ing is a habit with him. He likes it.
He says he does not care to amass a
big fortune like some Of the money
kings Of the country but he wants to
get what he can. When asked why he
continued to shine shoes after becoming
well to do, he replied, ITO make an
other fortune" Shartle will not tell
what he is worth, but it is stated in
his home city that he has 81 900 for
every year of his life. He is 81 years
old. His money is invested in real es-
tate, from which he receives a good re
turn. He was never known to specu-
late.
Shartle is married. and his wife en-
te1tains frequently. Her wardrobe is
in strong contrast to the simple things
which satisfy, him. The Shartle home
is more than comfortable and has been
the scene Of many gay gathering

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION


! There Is room for a school OF inter
national education. Let the youth Of
the dark" countries, such as Russia
be sent to the enlightened ones for a
time, and then let them return home to
use their knowledge. A writer in the
Independent Illustrates this principle
under the caption, Liberty to Keep the
Laws"
Here is place where you can't CO.
anyway"
But 1 do not want to 60 there, so
am in no danger Of the penalty"
The first speaker was a Russian lad
who was surprised that the Capitol, the
White House, public buildings of all
kinds in Washington, were open to the
world, without even the formality Of
asking permission. The second speaker
was the American friend who was
showing him round the city, and the
forbidden spot which they at last had
reached was the grass in a park, with
the sign, "Trespass forbidden, under
penalty Of the law"
"But your President can go there"
"Oh, no." was the reply. He would
not want to walk there and spoil the
grass, and he would not break the law,
anyway"
"What!" said the boy. "Does your
President have to obey the law?" He
gasped in surprise at such a thought.
"By all MEANS" replied his cicerone.,
"The President must obey the laws, of
course"
"He must?" cried the boy. "That is
queer. Our Gar and grand dukes never
have to obey the law"
At the close Of the day the lad was
taken into the Congressional Library,
where scores of men were bending over
magazines under pleasant evening lights.
He caught the arm of his friend as
though he saw a ghost. "See!, a SOL
dier. soldier! and he has no gun
and he is reading! You could not see
that in my country"

Mr.. William F. Vahlberg, Oklahoma
City, Okla, writes:
lone bottle of Peruna which | have
taken did more toward relieving me of
an aggravated case of oatarrh of the
stomach, than years of treatment with
the best physicians.
81 had given up hopes of relief, and
only tried Peruna as last resort.
81 shall continue using it, as feel
satisfied it will effect an entire and per-
manent cure.
81 most cheerfully recommend Peru
ma to all who may read this"
Peruna is usually taken as a last re-
sort. Doctors have been tried and
failed. Other remedies have been
used. Sanitariums have been visited.
Travel has been resorted to.
At last Peruna is tried. Relief is
found.
This history is repeated over and
over again, every day in the year. 1t
is such results as this that gives Peru
ma its unassailable hold upon the peo-
pie. We could say nothing that would
add force to such testimonials as the
above. That people who have had ca
tarrh and have tried every other rem
edy available, find relief in Peruna,
constitutes the best argument that
could be made.

Mix for Rheumatism.

The following is never failing rem

it will effect a complete cure of the

Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
in tablespoonful doses before each meal
and at bed time" The ingredients can
be procured at any drug store and
