WEATHER FOR NOVEMBER.
Month Will Have Plenty of Cold, With
Snow and Sleet.

The outlook for November, as fore
casted by Peter R. Smith, is not en-
couraging to those VINO like summer
weather. His predictions follow:
November is likely to be a very spas
modic month. The disturbing elements
which then are present will keep the
meteorolgy excited and fitful most of
the time. Several cold snaps are quite
sure to show up, and much cloudy
weather will prevail. The exciting
forces denote thundershowers about the
18th and again about the 18th or goth.
A storm wave will be on passage
across the country as October passes
over to November. On the LIST and 2nd
the temperature will grow much warm
er and cloudiness will continue to thicken
and spread, resulting in rain at many
places. Cold northwesterly winds will
follow the disturbance and a change to
much cooler weather will follow.
From the 4th or 5th to the Sth or 9Th
NNi+CSN etli ciNNtFC SUI III ytA l'AS NiiiNli
will in some form of disturbance reach
all sections of the country. The wave
will discharge much rain at some places
and southwark the rain and electric
action will be intense. On the northern
border of the country sleet and snow
will show up, with dangerous gales over
the lake territory. The period is likely
to be prolonged beyond the usual time
for the passage of wave.
A period of stormy weather will be in
progress on or touching the 18th, 18th
and 14th. The disturbing elements
which ill be present denote a high
temperature for the season and stormy,
disagreeable weather The western
flank of the storm will be wrought up
by northwestern gales about the l4th
or 18th, bringing very chilly weather.
A storm period is central on the 18th
or 18th of the month. Then several
storm elements will unite their forces,
causing period of storm probabilities
generally, and especially on the ocean
and northern lakes. Old Boreas will
make more than a faint skirmish for
domination between the 18th and Goth
in northern and central parts of the
country. An early blizzard may be en-
countered in northern parts, which may
push unusual cold for the season far
south.
On the 23d. oath and 25th the weather
will be spasmodic-snow squalls and
cold winds causing unpleasant weather
for Thanksgiving.
A renewal of storms will be passing
east on the 9th or 28th, which may
continue to the close of the month in
the different climatic sections. Au-
tumnal storms of rain, wind and sleet
turning to snow hurries will close the
month.

Encourage every home enterprise
Take an interest in every industry, in
vest literally in the stock of faith and
good will, and distribute it ali over your
city, in every factory, every work shop,
every business house. 1t will pay you
large dividends, and will cost very little
1t can never depreciate in value 1t
will always be above par. Buy home
made goods. Ask your merchants for
them. Wear home made garments,
eat home made articles of food, sleep
on home made beds, read home made
newspapers. In this way the money
you spend is only loaned 1t will come
back to you again with interest. Praise
up your city-don't run it down. Stand
by your merchants and manufactl rers
they are the bone and sinew of your
municipal strr cture. Stand by your
churches and your schools-thev are the
hopes of your future. Stand by your
press-it is the tireless sentinel that
guards your SntefeSt.
Mr.. Elijah Livengood of near Sails
bury, is hunting a man who can swear
real good and hard, that is, he says he
is, but we have an idea that by this
time Elijah is feeling much better, but
don t you try to sell him an automobile.
He doesn't like them and is going to
stick to horses. Yesterday Mr.. Liven-
good landed at the Republican office re-
turning from trip in an auto to Nor
folk, Va.-that is, they expected to get
to Norfolk, but they didn't. The party
consisted of M. and Allen Miller, John
and Joseph Hutzell, AL. Rodamer, Jonas
Keim and Mr.. Livengood. They start
ed on Tuesday week ago in Mr.. Mill
er's auto. Everything went lovely I'M
til they struck Blue Ridge Mountain
then the trouble began. They walked
and they carried rock, and they camped
half the night along the road with the
auto in the ~~-tnr trey ~ad broken
slides, gasoline trouble and everything
else on the auto calendar. They got
within Is miles of GordonvilIe then
they gave it up and headed for Wash
ington. Here they spent Tuesday re-
cuperating. On Wednesday they start
ed back and everything went lovely un-
til they reached Sheridan. There they
busted things up right, ending with
broken wheel This proved too much
for the crowd and deserving the auto
they took the train for home arriving
here Wednesday. Mr. Livengood says
the country he went through was very
nice in some places, the people very
lazy in most of places and taking it all
in all Somerset county is good enough
for him. -Myersdalel Republican.

The Cumberland Daily News of Mon
day says: Business out of Cumberland
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
so heavy yesterday that the railroad
management was compelled to borrow
six engines from the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
ten from the Western Maryland Rail
road to help move the cars. This is the
first congestion of freight of any extent
in this vicinity since prior to the late
dull times.
Mr.. Urias Mckenzie, of District No.
9, was in Oakland last Saturday on his
way to the fair at Swanton, having with
him number of specimens of potatoes
known as the rural New Yorker, and
the prediction is made here that if Mr..
Mckenzie did not carry off sthe first
prize at the fair then Garrett county
should put her potatoes against the
world with show of winning against
all corners. Mr.. Mckenzie had eight
of the potatoes which weighed IA pounds
and ten ounces. The four largest
weighed.8 pounds, four ounces. The crop
gathered by Mr.. Mckenzie was eighty
five bushels from about three-eights of
an acresland he states that the average
weight of the potatoes was one pound
each.
1t is all very well, when you have
nothing to do but kill time, to talk
about keeping the boys on the farm,
but you might as well spend your time
splitting at crack. Boys will stay on
farm as well as anywhere, if they re-
ceive decent treatment at home. The
boy who is yanked out of bed by the
hair, kicked out to milk and cuffed in to
breakfast, as a preliminary to being
popped through in the field all day, is
not likely to be consumed by his love
for the glories of agriculture nor for
his sire. Give the boy fair show, and
he'll stay with you till the cows come
home. If you are so mean he can't
stay at home, don't you go to your
neighbors with hypocritical shuttle
and tell about your boys ingratitude
after you have raised him.

Ornaments of the peeraqe.

Lord i.fyeaea Is an ardent peerage reformer and tells an aneedote in this connection for whose authenticity he pledges himself This narrates how a famous statesman of the nineteenth century was called upon n visit his son in prison. He bitterly reproaehed him. remarking Here am 1. having worked my way up from a middle class home to a great position. and when l die you will be the greatest blackguard in the peerage." The son listened quietly and then replied. with terrible irony. ~Yes-when you die.s
 Another of Lord Lyveden's peerage stories Is equally piquant The son of peer applied to a friend in the north of England for housekeeper and was recommended certain Mrs. Brown. The peer wrote to the woman accord tngly to the effect that. having learned particulars of her character he was willing to engage her as his house keeper and making an appointment for her to call and see him on q certain date The good woman replied
