More AbOut Schedules,

About month ago the genial and ac-
commodating agent, MIR. F. Hesson, of
the w. M. r. Il. at this place, taking
pity on the schedule makers of the W.,
+. & g., at the same time desiring TO get
something that would be an accommoda-
ton to the people and be IA benefit to the
railroad, fixed up schedule that would
give Thurmont four trains day instead
of three and meet all w. M. trains with
the exception of the Fast Mail east. 1t
made every provision for work to be done
at the ore bank and was an ideal arrange
ment. A copy was sent to the Frederick
office of the W., F. & G. upon request,
but that is the last it was ever heard of.
1t was either disapproved or thrown
aside, just why we don't know. For the
purpose of making the present schedule
look more ridiculous we append Mr.. Hes
sons below, which was submitted to and
had the approval of the w. M. r. r.
Leave Thurmont $50, $50 and II. Is
a. m. and $50 p. M; arrive at Frederick
S. 10 and $50 a. m. and 2.55 and $50 p.
m. Leave Frederick $40 and 90 a. m.
and / 40 and 4.40 p. M. arrive at Thur
mont 800 and 1890 a. m. and 800 and
600 p. m.
BY this arrangement it would leave
the crew with the large engine to do the
heavy work at the mines at this end of
the line, from 800 until $50 p. M,
abundance of time to do all the work.

A DEAR LITTLE FINGER.
So Regarded by Little Clarence's Mann
ma and by His Papa Too.
.'Did 90 hurt 90 dear 'itty fingerT


"Did 90 hurt 90 dear 'itty fnger?"
So said little Clarence Snifiy's moth.
er to little Clarence, who had just
caught one of his fingers In a drawer
and pinched and bruised 1t little,
whereupon he had set up howl and
naturally rushed for his mother, and
also naturally Mrs. Snifiy had sym
pathized with him deeply.
"Did 90 hurt 90 dear 'itty flngerT
she said And she was also concerned
deeply for fear he had done the finger
some serious harm, and 80 straight
way she sent for the doctor.
And when the doctor came he looked
It over and said it really wasn't any
thing very bad, that there were no
bones broken, just little abrasion Of
the skin, but he guessed he'd put a
little bandage around 1t to protect 1t
until 1t got well, and he didn't think he
would need to come again, but IL Mrs.
Sniffly should want the bandage re-
newed. why, If she would bring little
Clarence to the Office he would fix it
up.
And did Mrs. Snifiy want the band
age renewed? She was at the Doctors
office with little Clarence the next day,
and the day after that, and the next
day. and so on continuously. And did
the doctor think he'd lose his nail?
And would it leave a scar? She'd hate
to have one of little Clarences fingers
Scared. The doctor reassured her from
day to day as he put on the fresh
wrappings, while Clarence played
around through all these days with
that dear little finger done up in big
bandage.
But then a time came when even
Mrs. Sniff1y thought it was safe to
take the bandage off. and, 10, the
wound had left no scar at all! "And
isn't that delightfulT Mrs. Sniffly
said to Mr.. Snifiy, because she'd hate
to have Clarence have a scar on his
finger.
And Mr. Sniffly said to Mrs. Sniffiy
that 1t was very nice and he was glad
II had come out all right, but when ir

tragedies, to startle the country, but
there is always time for these things.
When you named your town Sassafas

that future will surely come. All

for It.

London In 1894.


In 1884 NJ. La Connie published q
book entitled "A Picture of London"
in which. inter ALA. he says, 1.-The
highroads thirty or forty miles round
London are filed with armed highway
men and footpads" This was then
pretty true. though the expression
"fille6' Is somewhat Of an exaggera-
ton. The medical student of fifty or
more years ago seems to have been an
tlcipated In 1854. for NJ. La Combe tells
US that ''the brass knockers of doors.

forgets to unscrew Them" precaution
which seems to have gone out Of fash
lon.
M. La Combe In another part Of his
book exclaims: How are you changed.
Londoners! Your women are become
bold, imperious and expensive. Bank
rupts and beggars. coiners, spies and
informers, robbers and pickpockets
abound. The baker mikes alum in his

MY friends, you have read of Cice-
70. What was he as a young man?
He wore hickory shirts and overalls
and one suspender. He split rails for
90 cents day. He dug potatoes and
hoed corn, and at twenty-five he had
never attended circus. A tin peddler
could have worked Ave dollar coun-
terfeit BIN or on him as easily as a
COW kicks over the milk pail Other
young men called him Sissy and time
and again his father told him that he
would never amount to hill of beans.
But Cicero knew his gait. He knew
that all things come to him who waits
He was content to wait until his time
came. 1t was years coming to him, as
1t may be to you, but when II came he
was ready to grasp It. A bull got loose
and took after a schoolma'am walking
along the highway, and Cicero butted
In He seized that bull by the horns
and twisted his neck and heaved the
palpitating body over the fence, and
in day he was famous. From thence
on he began to climb. and you who
are familiar with his history know
to what heights he attained-a hero,
an orator, philosopher. a scholar.
And It all came about because he was
ready to seize his opportunity when 1t
came 20 him. He wasn't sitting down
beside straw stack and saying the
world no longer gave folks chance.

Nero and his wife were pumpkin poor.
They were as shiftless and lazy as

up barefooted and tow headed. He
had more appetite than clothes. There
didn't seem to be one chance In a
thousand that he would ever keep out
Of jail, but he felt that opportunity
had something up its sleeve for him.
And so 1t did have. Nero was only
fifteen years old when Cr-- day a
great mans chariot came along the
highway with the horses on the run
and beaded straight for the mill pond.
Young Nero didn't wait to ponder and
wonder and figure II out He sprang
