still showing the hue of health. The
color of my eyes is gray-blue; but
I'm not so sure here. / think color

much consequence. Mentally am
slow Of thought and speech-my wife

answer. She should now be about 10
years old. Where is the young wom-
an?
The writer then goes on to describe
John Newcomb's wanderings in search
of such woman:
John Newoomb stopped at farm
houses for refreshment, and In each
house, IL there was daughter Of
marriageable age, he tarried perhaps
day or even longer to make
study of the maiden. He always made
himself handy about the place, draw
ing UP water with the great WELL
sweep, bringing in firewood-doing
anything that he could do and still
keep near the daughter.
Disappointment met him at every
door. At one house the cooking was
poor; at another the house was not
neatly kept; at third there was
scolding or fault finding, a want OF
in all the maidens a
lack of desire for learning or edu-
cation. One young woman little knew
by what a narrow margin she miss
ed her fate. All was going smooth
ly till, when she was molding the
dough for the baking pans, he motto
cd that considerable portion of the
dough was left in the wooden knead-
ing trough. He asked her the reason
for this, and her reply was that she
left it for the horse, because he was
iond of 1t. She always did this, she
aid; thTe was plenty, Want of thrift
1ecided the young man and he should
cred his bundle and walked on"

When They Had a Chance.

Not so very many years ago the
Democratic party had a chance; had
chance to thump all the bad laws
that were upon the statute books,
plexus; had a chance to reduce sala-
rias that were to high had a chance
TO pass laws to regulate or suppress
the trusts; had a chance to make all
political PLACES straight and rough
places smootL; had a chance TO enact
all reforms needed. In fact they had
chance to produce such flood of
prosperity and good times and bring
so much cortentment and happiness
to the psople that no other party
would ever stand any show any more
They had a chance to prove Demo-
cracy to be the only and original

But beloved, with all this oppor-
tunity. with all this glorious chance
to clean up and set the nation in
proper order and put song of CON
tentment in the hearts of the people.

did they do?
With a House and a Senate and
President, all of one party and all
pledged to give us dose of the pure

way busted the country. They re-
pealed laws that Were keeping times
good and added a law upon us that
reduced our revenues to bond SELL

golden moments, quaTellng among
themselves about questions that time
proved they knew nothing about.
They split up into warning factions
and turned their backs upon their
own chief and called him a Republi-
can for no other reason in the world
than that their plans had all failed
to make good any they saw they had
to place the blame on somebody. So
the only way ont was to cuss Cleve-
land. Cuss the only man in the party
that had political wisdom enough to
foresee a way cut Of the difficulty the
party had gotten itself into. And this
is Democracy. This is the history
of the party that wants to try 1t once
again. Wants to get to the bat and
make another strike. Yes. a stike |
that put labor on the bum. A strike
that brings want and suffering and |

WILL DONATE SITE

ISOLATION Willing to Donate
Land For Buildings

The Western Maryland Railway
Company, according to advices re
ceived from Hanover. Pa, has been
offered a strip of land by the Manufac
turers' Association OF Hancock as q
site for new car shops and a round
house which the railroad company Is
contemplating erecting In that town
The dispatch states that the land
will in all probability be accepted by
the officials Of the railway, and that
plans will be soon prepared to carry
the new improvement plan into effect
The Western Maryland already has
shops at Hanover. which Is on the
Gettysburg division OF the road, but
for some time 1t has been CONSIDERING
the ACCESSIBILITY OF building new shops
in the Pennsylvania town
Should the officials OF the road take
advantage OF the opportunity to en-
large its shops at Hanover. It will be
in keeping with the railway com.
pany's plan to provide the best pos
sible facilities for handling traffic
over the Western Maryland Railroad
in the future. The Gettysburg divis.
ion is an important branch of the
road at the present time, the freight
and passenger tonnage over that di
vision being larger, and for this reas.
on it is more than likely that addition
al shop facilities will be furnished
at Hanover.
No decision has yet been reached
by Western Maryland officials regard
ing the location OF the new shops
which are to be constructed in con.
nection with the extension that is
now being built from Cumberland,
Md, to Conneilsvllle, Pa. An effort
is being made to get the most cen.
trail location possible but as yet, no
site has been determined upon.
While on recent inspection trip,
President B. F Bush, of the Western
Maryland, was asked by the people
of Cumberland, Md, to decide upon
that city as site for the new shops.
Mr.. Bush told them there that he
would give their request due consider.
alton, but that he was not in a posi-
ton at that time to make them any
definite promise
AS already stated. the Western
Maryland contemplates the expendi-
ture of about a half million dollars in
Cumberland. In the construction of
additional freight yards for the hand
ling of traffic which is expected to
originate on the Cumberland extern
sion under the traffic agreement as
entered into between the Western
Maryland and the New York Central
Railroad. The present terminals ut
Cumberland are deemed inadequate
and within the near future Il is ex-
pected that extensive plans for i'm
proyements at that point will be pre-
pared.
