A Good Man Gone to His Reward.

On the 5th day Of July, at his home
near Deer Park, Andrew PYsell fell
asleep, aged 70 years, 8 months and II
days. Mr.. Pysell was born and brought
up near Eide, Somerset county, Pa.
Soon after his marriage to a Miss Hay,
he moved to Garrett county. From
this union there survives one daughter,
Miss Sarah. who lives on the home
place near Deer Park. After the death
of his first wife, he married a Miss
BoWser who survives him together with
three daughters and one son, namely,
Mrs. Charles Day, of near Deer Park;
Mrs. George Fitzwater and Mrs. Par
ley Diehl, both Of Deer Park, and Char
lie Pysell, of near Deer Park.
We have known Mr. Pysell for about
ffty-fve years. He was a man noted
for piety. He was brought up in the
Lutheran faith, but after moving to
Flatwoods, Md. where there was no
Lutheran church convenient, he united
with the u. B. church near his home,
in which church he was a class leader
and often took the place of clergy
man on funeral occasions. He was
carpenter by trade, but paid more at
tention to farming. He was thorough
ly honest, constant reader of his bible,
and consequently had large fund of
Scripture knowledge; helpful neigh
Dor, true friend and peace-loving
ard conscientious citizen.
He suffered much the last few years
Of his life For some time death seems
to have toyed with him, but finally he
heard the well done" of his Master,
and has gone to rest. He was a good
husband and an indulgent father. His
family and neighbors laid him to rest in
the Flatwoods cemetery on July It'll.
The funeral discourse was delivered by
the pastor of St. Marks Lutheran
church. Oakland, in the U. B. church a
few miles from the place of burial.

cratic legislatures and the padded-pay-
roll scheme connected herewith, says
the Baltimore American.
But he remarks further on that his
commission on legislative expenses
has filed a unanimous report Of definite
suggestions, which Will unquestionably
correct extravaganza in legislative ex-
I penses. The legislature of 1903 had
all the definite suggestions which were
necessary. The retiring governor. Ed
win Warfield, in his message at the
opening Of the session, showed through
just what channels the legislative
wastage was flowing, and showed also
just what reforms in legislative methods
should be inaugurated. But did the
Democratic majorities in the two
branches of the legislature pay any at
tention to the retiring governor s recon-
mendations? On the contrary, these
reform suggestions were treated with
worse than contemptuOus Indifference.
The Governor announces that ne is in
favor of state utilities board, but it is
easy to be comprehended that such
commission, appointed by a partisan
governor, might, and probably would be
but an instrument to serve, not the peo-
pie but political machine. He takes
vast amount of credit, which is not
yet due, from having proposed the State
Road Law. To claim credit for this
scheme at this stage is counting the
chicks before they are out of the shell.
1t yet remains to be demonstrated
whether, as the plans will be carried to
to realization, the road building scheme
will be credit to the Crothers admins
tratisn or not. He demonstrated that
he is of the machine and with the ma
chine is making plea for the adoption
of the constitutional amendment.
The Governor 5 stump speech is not
in any way an impressive document Its
partisan intenti is quite apparent. He
repeats several times that he is anxious
for the election of a Democratic legis-
lature, and nobody doubts that he is.
But when he suggests greater posi-
bilities" for the state and the city as
result of one more Democratic legisla-
ture, the suggestion sounds altogether
like the plea of Brer Fox to Brer Roos-
ter to come down and be friendly.

ARE DEMOCRATS BOUND TO SUP.
PORT THE 0ISFRANCH!SE-
MENT AMENDMENT?

The late Judge Charles E. Phelps, in
his charge to the Baltimore Grand Jury,
delivered Sept. 18th, 1905, said:
"a proposed change in the organic
law of State radically affecting the
practical exercise of the elective fran
chise is obviously change of vital i'm
portance, entirely outside the range OF
ordinary partisan politics.
In this opinion he is seconded by the
late Senator William Pinckney Whyte,
who in expressing his opposition to the
attempt made under the guise of the
Poe amendment to disfranchise fifty
thousand foreign born white voters, de-
clared as follows:
''The organic law of a State is sup
posed to be made by the people them
selves, and not by Legislative Assembly,
and especially in regard to that part of
the Constitution relating to the cleo
tive franchise. The vote Of the citizen
upon this amendment should be guided
by his own conscience and not by the
dictates of any one.
Another, and even more significant
endorsement of Judge Phelps opinion
may be found in the position of United
State Senator Isidor Rayner who in a
letter dated October 18th, 1903, address
ed to the Democrats of Maryland, de-
clared his unqualified opposition to the
Poe amendment, although that measure
was adopted by Democratic Legisla-
ture, which, at the same time sent Mr..
Rayner to the United States Senate, en-
dorsed by Democratic convention anc
advocated by the Organization" witt

being accorded to the Straus amend.
ment. Senator Rayner, at that time,
justified his opposition to the measure
in question in the following language,
which applies with equal force to the
one now under consideration:

course of true love runs smooth. Miss
Anna Holcombe, of South Manchester,
and Morris Cohen, of this city, will
be married here tomorrow. Joseph
Salwitz is the principal mourner and
also the villain in the case, albeit a
repentant and crestfailen villain. Miss
Holcombe-so she alleges-;was Tilted
by Salwitz almost at the altar, who
then fled but was later captured when
Miss Holcombe turned detective and
cooked up" clever trick.
Salwitz, when he left, took with him
jewelry and trinkets which he had
given her. according to Miss Hol-

her.
Several weeks ago Miss Holcombe
left her work in the silk mills. and
when she returned she was wearing a
wedding ring and told all that she had

An important matter for the farmer
to look after for the next few months
is the manure supply Whalhcr there
is much or little produced, let none go
to waste. There is more than one

the barn and exposed to the weather
the sight of a manure pile against the
barn should be sufficient to cause a
man of any pride to keep it elsewhere.
For the average farmer there is
probably no better way that he can
dispose of the manure than to haul it
out directly from the stable as fast
as made, to the field. This plan saves
all extra handling and a good deal of
waste There may be a little loss if
spread on frozen ground where it
washes with heavy rains, but by put
ting it in level places this waste win
amount to nothing. In winter the
manure need only to be drawn out
twice or three times a week to suit the
occasion During the growing sea-
son there is little made around the
barn.
Another way it may be taken care
of is by composing it, and if the farb-
er has the time and wishes to
strengthen and add to the supply, saw
ing all he gets and making it more
available, he will follow this plan.
Some prefer a shed under which to
compost the manure. Here we use

Sheppard Transferred.

NEW YORK, Oct. Again comes
the news that Melvin Sheppard, Amer
ica's premier middle distance runner,
has been transferred by the govern
ment from his post at Licorice wharr,
Camden. ~ j.. to the New York Gus
tom house. The same announcement
last summer proved premature and to-
tally false. Sheppard told a close
friend of his the other night, that his
application has been favorably acted
upon by the powers that be in the
customs service, and he Will be trans
ferred to the New York job under rate
of November Is. Living in Philadei-
phia has been one of the handicaps
that has kept Sheppard from getting
in fine condition this fall. He has prac-
tically no place to train steadily and
no one to work out with. In addition
The has been able to get into race
about once a month over in Philadel-
phia, whereas by living here he can
get a race once a week, and pick his
races at that.

With the Small Farmer
Saving the Manure

" nothing can be raised without the
use of an abundance of manure or fer
tilizer, very little thought is given to
saving that produced upon the farm.
With two thirds of the farmers in
this locality the manure is simply
dumped out of the stable door or
windows where it remains until
spring / have in mind one farmer
who has all his hogs, a dozen or so
in number penned in the basement un-
der tie horse stables, and all horse
manure and bedding is put down
through a trap door into the pen
where the hogs work it over and in
this way make a large quantity of the
very best manure during the winter.
While 1 do not approve of this wey
of keeping hogs, it is a successful way
of saving and making a lot of manure.
When the home supply is exhausted
it is all right to puy fertilizers. but
it's bad farming to auoN the barnyard
manure to go to waste ard then buy
commercial fertilizers to make up the
deficiency.

Up in the sewing roops of most
homes there are now heard the snip
ping of the shears and the whir of
wheels. The fates are deciding our

affairs of the needle, l very much
doubt the existence of graceful and
correct positions. Indeed, it would
be difficult to find many women who
would consent to snapshot at them
during sewing hours.

In these days of surgical marvcls it
seems to me that there is little excuse
for deformity of almost any kind.
The child who grows up cross
eyed with a harelip, or with certain
kinds of birthmarks is a walking
statement of the fact that he had a
father and mother who did not love
him-at least in the right way.
Most of us who are perfectly normal
have absolutely no conception of
what il means to have some deformity,
however slight, that marks one out
from ordinary human beings.
l got startling glimpse behind the
scenes once when l asked a girl with
"A birthmark to come to my home ana
meet my people She refused and /
protested But don't you know it is
torture to me to meet new people,
she suddenly flashed out. Don't you
know 1 can feel their eyes fairly burn
into this mark on my face?"
Determines like that in rare cases
have made characters, but far, far
more often they have spoiled lives.
And when there is the slightest pos
sibility of curing any deformity it
seems to me to border on the criminal
for the parents of such a child not
to try to have it made normal.
Harelip can be almost completely
corrected.
Why do we see so few cross eyed
people nowadays?" l heard a woman
ask a doctor the other day.
Because no decent mothers and
fathers will allow a child to be cross
eyed nowadays, when that can so
easily be remedied by the prompt use
of glasses" the doctor returned.
Crossed eyes may be made normal
later in life by an operation. but that
is less certain cure.

Any irregularity of the teeth, as
everyone knows, can very easily be
