MARYLAN1'S WHEAT.

In a crop statement issued Tuesday
morning by the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington it is shown that
Maryland wheat crop is in better con-
dition than that OF any other State in
the Union. The crop is, of course not
the largest, but there is a smaller per
cent of its acreage abandoned than any
other wheat-producing State can show.
Just per cent. Of the winter wheat
crop is in bad condition.
The statement shows, further, that
there are 794, 600 acres of Maryland in
wheat, which is greater acreage than
shown by any other Southern State,
except Tennessee and Texas. This is
slightly more wheat than was reported
in Maryland by the department last
year.
Maryland's rye crop is also discussed
in the statement, but the acreage is not
given. The condition of the crop is
placed at 80. which is slightly under the
condition of rye last year at this time.

a LESSON IN THE HEAVENS.

Commenting on Hallev's comet, our
esteemed contemporary, the New York
World, INDUCES in eloquence. Meas
urements past comprehension, speed
inconceivable, wanderings transcending
the power of man to imagine are in
Halley's comet; no more marvellous
than the genius that plots its path,
times its return, establishes by spe-
troscopy its likeness to the cold earth
and the burning stars.
If these things fill our minds with
wonder and amazement, how much
more should we be filled with awe when
we contemplate the ncomprehensible
Omnipotence that not only created Hal
ley's comet and set its course in the
universe, but created and inspired the
human mind, which has succeeded in
plotting that course and measuring the
time of the wanderers return, and
which has said to that human intellect
THUS far shalt thou go and no farthern
The old idea that comets were fearful
beacons, portending disaster, has faded
away; but, like the unwearied sun and
the stars in the heaven, they still teach
the lesson conveyed in the old familiar
lines;
In Reasons ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
Forever singing as they shine:
The Hand that made US is divine.

man kindness in physical form-who
can conceive of men with such capabili-
ties failing to fashion the sentiment of
the race into the cables of security?
Love in modern society is not poetry; it
is passion and power. Faith is not
tenuous clinging to the expectations
and longings of life; it is purpose and
province. Hope is no longer the thing
that ever springs in the breast; it is the
motive power by which the ardent de-
sres finding Judgment in the breast are
projected as realities. Is this material
ism? Not bit of it. 1t is the bring
ing of the substance of the molecule
into the measurement of the man. 1t
is the redemption of matter and the in
carnatlon of the true spirit of social
grace. 1t means to give life a new
grip.
How men have longed for this very
grace Of the human grip, this breath of
human sentiment, this touch of the
MANU- VI humanity IuG IlsllIu VI GOu Is
strong, but somehow there is vastly
more assurance in the reality of grace
when the hand that comes is warm
with the blood that tingles in human
veins and strong with the muscles of
the human frame. Some day a poet
will sing of the marvels of the grip of
the hand that clasps in friendship; the
hand that closes in sustaining power;
the hand that leaves with its warm i'm
print assense of the generous impulse in
the fellowship of life Some day it will
no longer be regarded as the agency for
getting, but for giving; not as the i'm
plement of toll, but the guerdon of
nobility; not as factor of selfshness,
but the benefcent agency of distribu-
ton. The hand that has acquired the
grip of grace has greatly advanced the
character of the person who owns it, (
and has added to the advance of human +
ity along the marvellous upgrade of
life.

Garrett County Barn Burned.

On Saturday night about eleven
O'Clock the barn of Albert Bolin on
what is known as the Isreal Glotfelty
farm, in Garrett county, Md, was dis
covered to be on fire The blaze had
made such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to save any of the farm imple-
ments. stored in the barn.
MIR. Bolin keeps his horsesAand other
live stock in another building, therefore
did not lose any of them. The origin
of the fire is mystery as there was no
one about the building with a light of
any kind as far as is known. There is

of some lncendlary. Mr.. Bolin only re-

A Narrow Escape.

A young man and stranger in Oak
land, attempted to board fast moving
freight train as it was passing the sta
ton here on Monday afternoon, and had
a narrow escape with his life He had
grasped the hand hold, fell and was unable
to regain his feet. He held tight to the
car, however and was dragged to the
end of the platform west of the station
when he bumped into the water stock
with his head, cutting a deep cash
above his eye and bruising his face in
number of places, besides bruising both
knees very painfully. The shock when
he struck the heavy casting broke his
hold and he came within an ace of being
drawn under the car but fortunately he
retained his senses sufficiently to see the
danger and rolled away instead of
toward the train. He was taken in
charge by policeman Nethken and con-
Quoted to physician who dressed his
injuries and later left town without dis
closing his name but saying that he was
on his way west.

THE GRIP OF GRACE.

Much is said of the grace of God,
little of the grace of human kind. No
one may undertake to set forth the
power of the everlasting arms, few
have thought to set forth the power of
the supporting arms of human love,
friendship and help. The cup o. kind
ness placed to the lip upon the weary
way of human toll, the signboards
placed where the wayfarer may be d.
rected to the purling brook are little
matters of human kindness. Yet see
what has been built upon them. Or
ders and fraternities by the score have
as their motto the grip of grace They
propose to aid and support their mem
bers through the grace of human help
fitness and they take pride in the grip
being as strong as cable
Who can conceive of the men who

THE COLONEL AND THE KAISER

Now that they have met-the colonel
and the kaiser-felt the grip of each
others good right hand, gazed into each
others resolute and unfinching eyes,
naturally one wonders what the colonel
thinks Of the kaiser and the kaiser Of
the colonel.
Certain it is that they have formed a
sort of long-distance, close corporation,
mutual admiration society for several
years. The kaiser has been the colonel's
European ideal; the colone! the kaiser's
American ideal. Among kings, the
kaiser has been Exhibit A in the colonel's
philosophy; among republicans, the
former president Of the United States
has been the kalser's bright and partic-
ular star.
What ever they think Of each, other,
now that they have met, however, the
meeting was an interesting one, and
compelled the entire worlds attention.
Undoubtedly, Emperor William is the
most picturesque figure among the
earth's royalty. Our own strenuous
colonel surely has more medals than
anybody else pinned to his manly chest
as real, live, republican executive.
A new and acutely distressing problem
presents ITSELF. Now that they have
stood side by side-the colonel and the
kaiser-which subsequently shall be en-
titled to stand alone at the very head of
the class? Patriotism-and something
more, perhaps would prompt our ar
dent championship of the colonel of
course. And yet the kaiser is a COM
pellng person and most engaging from
many points Of view. He has been
called everythingEthat his enemies could
think of, but he has made good on every
undertaking, nevertheless. He has inn
pressed his personality upon his country
ineradicably. All so much like the col
onell
Perhaps we shall have to award first
honor to both-agree that neither is the
greater; write it down that both are
greatest. 1t is difficult to see how inter-
national peace is surely to be preserved
if we accept the other platform

A Tribute to Robert II. Gordon.

AT special meeting of the Lawton
Literary and Debating Club of Cumber-
land committee consisting of Messrs.
D. W. Snyder, John Macdonald and c.
E. Holman, was appointed to draft a
memorial to the late Robert H. Gordon.
who died Tuesday evening, May 10th.
The memorial submitted was unani-
mously adopted as follows:
In the sudden death of Capt. Robert
Herbert Gordon, the Lawton Literary
and Debating Club keenly feels the loss
of its best friend and advisor, one who
was greatly interested in its progress
and Whoigave the club much encourage
ment.
The club, in turn, felt honored to
have Captain Gordon as an honorary
member. He was a man of intelli-
gence who did not hide his light under
bushel. Freely he had received knowl-
edge, freely and gladly he shared it
with others. He was a public teacher.
therefore we the more keenly feel the
loss and extend most sincere sympathy
to his family and others near and dear
to him.
Captain Gordon fully recognized the
omnipotence of the Creator who gave
man the power of speech, who made the
grass and leaves green, the rose red
and the lilV white. He loved the Gre
ator, he loved Nature, loved his coun
try and his fellow man. He saw beauty
in every living thing. We hold his
memory dear

DOGS AND TAXES.

There are large number of useless
dogs running about town. They are no
good to their owners and no good to the
community at large. They keep up a
barking and yelping at night, scare chill
dren, brighten horses, and make them
selves a nuisance in general. Most
cities and many towns have a license,
and every dog is required to wear tag,
or be taken in by the dog catcher. This
is good scheme. Besides putting
money in the city treasury it rids the
community of numerous worthless ours.
We believe our City Council would be
highly commended by majority of the
people if the strictly enforced the law
requiring all dogs to be tagged, and be-
sides they would be doing their duty.
Those who have dogs which they prize
for one reason or another would not OBJ
iect to the small tax.
