the best possible style. Her voice was
clear and every word could be heard and
understood from every part of the large
auditorium. Each number, as stated
was given in the very best strain, but
THE Chariot Race-from Ben Hur,' y
The Crystal Gazer" and The Mourn.
ing Veil'' deserve special mention. Old
auditors of public readings and recita,
tons declare that Mrs. Ewing's rendi.

personality; clear, musical voice and
faultless manner, she is a stage artistic of
the most aesthetic accomplishments
What is also gratifying, her effort will
go far to help the School Library.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENTS.
One Enterprising Firm.


FRosTBURG, MD, November 9, 1910.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
While good deal is said about the
advantages of Frostburg for the estab-
lishment of manufacturing plants, few
things already existing in this line should
not be overlooked.
Up to eleven years ago the people of
the town will readily recall the disad-
vantages they suffered for want of ice
during tho summer season. All kinds
of food needing cold storage had to be
cared for in the old unsatisfactory way.
In 1889 the Mayer Brothers, with COM
mendable foresight and energy, erected
an EGGPLANT, which is still one of the
best contributions ever made to the pub
lie service of the town.
In the outset these energetic young
men received no encouragement. In
fact, they met very serious difficulty
in failure to obtain water supply from
the town. But they bravely went to
work and found water at the base of
Great Savage mountain. built reser-
voir, laid pipeline to their plant, on
Uhl street, and have manufactured ice
with great success to themselves and
best of service to the public. The plant
produces seven tons of sanitary ice a day
A year ago this firm, composed of
Henry Mayer-an eX Mayor of the town
and one of its most progressive citizens
and general manager of the firm
George, &. Frederick and William L.
Mayer, began the erection Of brick
yard, and which is now completed, a
short distance east of the G. & p r. r.
depot. 1t has switch connections for
shipment east and west. 1t is also
splendidly located for obtaining water
and fuel supplies.
The clay is of superior quality, and
the supply will last for hundred years
1t produces building and paving brick
of tlrst-class grade. Thing will also be
manufactured. The capacity of the
plant is 30, 900 bricks day.
On their two plants this firm employs
fifteen men.
These two enterprises are promoted
entirely by the Mayer Bros, for which
they cannot receive too much credit, and
had they been endowed with greater
means Frostburg would have industries
employing several hundred men.
1t is to be regretted that there are not
more persons in Frostburg like the
members of this firm. ENTERPRISE,

A firm in Fort Benton, Montana, adj
vertised 100 per cent pure wool cloth
ing" an announcement which a paper
out there says attracted the attention
of burglars, who effected an entrance by
breaking the glass i'll the back part of
the store some time after midnight.
They apparently spent considerable time
inspecting the goods, and finally made
selections aggregating about 5000 in
value, with which they decamped.
The attraction was great Think of
it-"1OO per cent. pure wool clothing !"
What a novelty! What store anywhere
advertising such goods is safe from
burglary?
But the point the JOURNAL really
wants to make is-this is the only actual
instance the great paper ever heard of
in which it was proven that advertising
doesn't pay"

ORIGINAL POETRY.
Mas Poetry,

One day my Ma she took spell
A-writin' poetry, and-well!
If half them things | wuz to tell,
'Twould surely make you wonder,
She wrote about most everything
From Aunt LavinlaS Weddlng-rlng
To a humble bee upon the wing,
Or hearts that went aSunder.
And then she wrote about the cat,
And brother Freddle's red cravat,
And bout my Pas new Sunday hat
(You ought to heard him swear y
He sez-'now, Ma. you We got to quit
This dog-gone nonsense cause tain tit
For anyone to read, and it
Amt nothin' but hot air "
You see it hurt his feelins some
Cause just the night before he come
Home from the store with it, and Tom
Sez-"Pa, you look real swell ~
And then when Ma begun to write
About him lookn' such fright
And how it fit his head too tight,
His Dutch begun to tell.
And then my Ma sat down beside
The kitchen sink and cried and cried,
And said she wished that she'd aided
Fore she WIS ever born
She self Pa acts that away,
L IL pack my clothes and go and stay,
And not come back single day
Before the Judgment morn" ~
Then Pa sez-"now looky here
You know didn't mean it, dear;
And if you go away, fear
We'd be IA sorry set ~
Then Ma, she sez-"Im sorry, too,
That ever made fun of you
Cause you are good the whole way through
Your hats the incest vet.
And Ma, she hasn't wrote line;
Nor any verses, nor a rhyme,
Nor nothin' like it since that time
She wrote about Pas hat,
And Pa, he sez-"its just as good,
Cause while he knows, of course, she could,
Mebbe possible if she would
We'd have another spat,"
Ma sez-"my genius, it wont burn,
Although my aspirations yearn"-
Or some such talk-Pll never learn
One-half them words she uses.
She sez-''it's only now and then
Shat can do things with my PEN
But things is mighty lively when
She borrows from the Muses..
