FIELD TURNED THE TABLES

Eugene Field could appreciate a joke
as we'll as any man, even when the joke
was upon himself. One time he turned
the tables upon friend, who sought to
play joke upon the gentle poet, com
pletely to his friends undoing.
Mr.. Field showed a lack of utter in
difference when it came to be follower
of the fashions. His clothes were al
ways neat and tidy, but they were not
made after the prevailing fashion; he
had not consulted Worth, and this was
agonizing to at least one of his most
fashionable friends, named, for con-
venience, Mr.. ].
One day, in an off-hand manner, so
as not to be offensive to the poet Mr. ].
inquired of him if he would wear suit
of clothes if he would buy 1t for him.
Contrary to expectations, Mr.. Field re-
piled that he would be only too glad to
accept the suit and to wear it.
In a few days Mr.. J. had occasion to
oe at Jeffersonville transacting some

even accost persons inclined to pass, in
order to tell them that he was out on
leave and had come to pay his respects
to his old friend; that he ought to get
rid of him at once, and the sooner the
better, If his reputation was not al
ready ruined.
Mr.. J. made haste to investigate. It
was the genial Field, who had dressed
up in the suit presented to him the day
before. Nor would he leave until Mr.. J.
had paid him most liberally.-From

ILLUSTRATING FAvoRIrE STORY

Illustrating favorite stories may form
a new recreation for children and be a
variation on pasting pictures at ran

u. B. ODER, Editor.
Anomaly,


If Mr.. Lewis votes for free wood
pulp and print paper" he will do an
other big thing for Cumberland news
papers of eXtra-tremendous circulation.
And this will not be, it is believed, his
first favor, as intimated, to those insti-
buttons.
Mr.. Lewis is believed to be the author,
promoter and tinisher of a law which
confines all election advertising in this
county to Cumberland newspapers one
of the most undemocratic things a dem
ocratic statesman could do.
For just so far the law prohibits the
publication of newspapers in this county
outside the county seat.
Hence, how the Cumberland Ne,rs can
oppose his election to Congress is
mystery in monopolistic economy.
The law which saddles the municipal
election expenses of Cumberland upon
the county may have been the precedent
for the anti-out- of-county- newspa-
per statute, or rice rerSd-the JOURNAL
is not sure which.
But the two enactments are birds of
similar feather and who can vOuch for
what else of the same sort a legislator of
that dnjmuS will not do, given further
opportunity?

EOnr Years More.

In a sermon to Jews, Brooklyn, N. Y,
Sunday. 8 b inst, Pastor G. T. Russell
expressed the conviction that 1.-the
Gentle lease of earth dominion would
expire and the Messianic Kingdom as
sumo control four years hence, or in
October, 1914 He said:
The seven times, or years, of Gentle domi-
nation, reckoned on the basis suggested in
the Scriptures themselves, should be inter
preted a day for a year, lunar time. Seven
years in lunar time would represent 2520
days and these, symbolically interpreted,
would mean 2520 years-frOm the time
NebuChadnezzer. the head of the image was
recognized down to the time of the expra-
ton of the lease of Gentle power, when the
stone shall smite the image in the feet So
far as Pastor Russell has been able to deter
mine, the year of Zedekiah's dethronement
was 6O6 B. G.. Thus calculated the $500
years of Gentle lease of power will expire in
October, 1914. There are some who claim
that Zedekiah's dethronement should be
dated b. G.. 5SS. If this be true it could
make difference of but eighteen years and
give the date 1882. Pastor Russelrs con-
victions however. favor the 1914 date.

Road Building
In recent interview Gov. A c
Crothers said in part:

In a recent interview Gov. A. @.
Crothers said in part:
Up to September 80 the Commission had
contracted for 259.35 miles and had COM
pleted lis 05 The so-CalIed average cost has
been from 80 600 to $4,000 a mile. Much,
though depends on the location and the cir
cumstanCes surrounding the construction of
each mile, and it is very difficult to judge the
cost of one mile i'll one section from the cost
of "a mile In another section.
1t takes about $500 tons of stone. or
macadam, to build one mile of road. The
rock costs about 60 cents a ton, while the
average freight is probably - cents. 1t
costs about 80 cents for hauling for the rst
mile, increasing about 20 cents mile as the
construction progresses. On the average,
about ne-eighth of the cost is in grading,
about one eighth in concrete bridges and cul-
verts and about for rolling and sprinkling.
1t will be seen that railroad freight
costs Is cents ton more than the ma
terial itself.
That is, it costs Is cents more to
quarry, load and unload stone with
human hands than to carry it by steam
and machinery.
Hence, it has often occurred to the
JOURNAL that railroad companies are
alike shOrt-sighted, illiberal and retro
gresSire when they charge even average
rates of freight on materials for road
making.

been levied as though they wrought tor

ter in its proper light and act according

TOWN AND VICINITY.


The fight between the street authori-
ties and electric railway people in Ha-
gerstown has grown SO acute that the
former have determined to do no more
paving for the latter. The cause of the
trouble is the old one everywhere-the
electric road people. once given posses
sion, claim ownership of the streets.
A citizen of Brownsville, talking
politics the other day with a colored
visitor from Piedmont, said with unre-
served emphasis that is opposed wild
all my might to dis ting dey call initial,
and | wouldn't never listen to dat odder
ting dey call refundumn'
The schools these days-correspond-
ence and otherwise" says Titus A.
Brick, turn out so many doctors, law
yers, clerks and stenographers, that
what few carpenters, maSons and plas-
tererS that are left are worked to death
trying to fill five contracts where about
one used to be the rule. Never in all
history has it taken longer to build a
house than in 1910. And next year it
will take longer"
According to report from the De
partment of Commerce and Labor, a
miner IN England produces 271 tons of
coal in a year; in the United States his
average is 1873 tons.

The West Union paving job is about
complete. A great Improvement. But
now the real trouble begins-under the
current system.
Government statistics indicate that
since 1873 the consumption of alcoholic
liquors in the United States has IN
creased from 8 gallons per- capita to 2211a
gallons. Looks like the majority growth
in gallons had gone largely against the
missionary force of the temperance
movement.
The Cumberland Times hasn't said a
word in behalf of them poor children
whom some people over toward Welsh
Hill called "depredators' a week or so
ago? Why this ineptitude, if not diff
ferentiation-hey
An insurgent republican declares that
"when a man acquired an office under
the Pearre regime he settled down into it
like the little brown hen when she felt
she had call from higher up to inubate. "
Correspondence in Baltimore papers
indicates overwhelming defeat for the
paving loan unless the special tax feature
on the abutting property-owner is
omitted" The small house and lot
proprietOrs claim they own no automo-
biles, carriages, wagons, horses, etc, and
should not be specially taxed for the en-
joyment of the richer people who do,
and so on. There are still better reasons
than these, however.

ORIGINAL POETRY.

Tay.
All things dance and sway when you are
gay
In earth, and sea. and sky
Not tear is shed. not a hope is dead,
For trouble has passed you by.
Trees waltz, dear TAY, in graceful sway,
Leaves scurry and iutter along;
Flowers bow and nod, and the golden-rod
Beats time for the fairies song,
The little waves leap in the blue green deep
The sea shells sing to the sea;
Each little ship will rise and dip,
For they, too, are gay as can be.
Stars blink and wink, and gracefully sink
Into beads of down and lace:
And the old moon, too, has a smile for you
A gentle, befriending grace.
