BY reference TO another column
you will see that, for the first time,
Mothers Day" is to be observed
in Monterey on Sunday, May 18th
While the Methodist Sunday School
has taken the initiative, as we I'm.
derstand it the institutation is not
circumscribed by denominations
lines, creeds, age or sex, and all are
at liberty, and are invited to OBJ
serve the day. No suggestion
could so strongly appeal to the good
that is in US. No matter how old
you have grown to be, you are still
"mother's boy" and you can not
do a nobler thing than to give hel
or her memory this special honor.
AS rule, every one of Us have been
blessed with good mothers pains
taking, self-sacrifcing, indulgent
and prayerful and the memories
recalled by this day will make Us
better sons and daughters. The
boy who loves and honors his mother
or reveres her memory, if she be
dead rarely ever goes hopelessly
astray.
There never comes time in his life
when he does not recall her tender
ness and unselfsh love. "Now
lay me down to sleep" is the sweet
est, best prayer he ever heard, anc
he never forgets the day when he
knelt at mothers knee and learned
from her lips this prayer of child
hood. 1t makes us better to think
of those days and recall these mem
cries.
That one is fortunate whose moth
er lives and whose privilege it is tc
honor and atone for heartaches
thoguhtlesslysinhicted. With many:
as, these little wrongs, these days
of boyish waywardness are recalled
with vain regret, but the recollec'
ton of them makes US truly peni'
tent, and thus we are made better
All honor to mother, if living
for she is our truest friend anc
wisest counselor; if she be dead, hel
memory is our richest heritage.

troyed with all it's contents by fire of

aroused had gained such Roadway that
nothing could be saved.
Mr.. Custer had gone to the room oc-
cupied by an eleven year old boy and
two Younger children. After awaken
ing them he picked up the two Younger
children and thinking the older boy was
following, carried them out of the build
ing to safety 70 his horror he discov-
cred that the son had not followed.

he was met at the door of the room by
a fierce volley of flames and smoke In
his efforts to save the boys life his
face was severely burned and the hair
all scorched from his head. Not being
able to enter by the door an effort was
made to get into the room from the
outside by way of a window but again
he was driven back by the fire that was
now raging in all its fury. The bal
ance Of the family composed of five or
six children escaped from the building
in their night clothes.
AS to the cause of the fire nothing is
known except that it started in a room
on the second floor, 1t could not be as
certained if Mr.. Custer had any insur-
ance on his building or contents.
Mrs. Custer is a daughter of Jonas J.
Beachy, and resides on a part of the
Beachy farm, about miles southeast

MARYLAND'S GRETNA GREEN.
Oakland Is the rleCca of West virginia
ElOping Couples.

During the year Just closed there were
issued by Clerk Tower of the Garrett
County Circuit Court, marriage licenses
to six hundred and eight couples, the
majority Of whom came into the Mary
land town from adjoining counties of
West Virginia where the marriage laws
are of such nature that the bride-to-be
must have attained the age of twenty
one years before alicense may be issued
unless by consent of the parents or
guardian. In MARYLAND the legal age of
female so far as the marriage law is
concerned, is sixteen years, hence the
great number of runaway couples who
come here from West Virginia.
In addition to licenses issued to resi-
dents of our neighboring state and those
Of this county, Clerk Towers records
show that couples came here from as
far west as Chicago; also from the Old
Dominion and the Empire State-New
York. In some instances licenses were
refused on account Of the fact that
either one or the other contracting par
ties were divorced and were unable to
produce the decree showing the action
Of the court granting such. Another
instance was that the party making ap-
plication for the license was unable to
say whether the bride was white or
coIored, the applicant being blind. A
few days later, however, the license
was issued when groom-elect. who was
blessed with all his faculties, made APP
pication and answered all questions
propounded satisfactorily.
