Girls, listen TO your mothers; they are
your wisest teachers, your best coun-
selors, and even though you have re-
ceived a college education; and the dear
one who in all probability has denied
herselfto give it to you has never got
beyond the third reader, you can rest
assured that it is not book learning that
will keep your feet away from the many
pitfalls that she can warn you from in
tender, loving fashion, that you will do

I,arge Rexenue From Milk.
TELEPHONE No. 272

Eight thousand gallons Of milk are
shipped to Washington from this county
every day, said gentleman of this city,
who is interested in the milk business
and who Investigated some facts about
the milk shipments over the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad from Frederick TO
points along the line in this county, to
the capital. He said that this represents
practically new industry for tins county,
which is growing steadily right along.
1t means that nearly $500 day is
brought to this county from Washington
by the milk that Is produced. This gen
tleman stated that now dairying can be
ranked as one of the leading industries
in this section.
Two years ago if is claimed that not
one-fourth of this quantity Of milk was
shipped to Washington from this county,
showing that the business has grown IN
wonderful proportions. At that time
only one shipment was made to the cap
ital city during the day, in the morning.
now other consignments are regularly
made during the day. The White Gross
Milk Company is the largest shippe
from Frederick, although there art
several other dealers in the county wht
handle large quantities.

full to his early and adopted home who

more enjoyment in the club room, in

In After Years.

/ As il 1t were throne for kings,
| And how in majesty he brings
The toiers to him on the run?
Head OF the firm, great big gun,
! Member OF all the clubs, renown
Upon him everywhere in town
For public spirit and the way
He's grown 10 hold his work in sway?
Well let me whisper meath your hat
hat man was Hartsock'S freckled brat
You. see that fellow in between
The cushions of that limousine,
With silk hat on and such an air
OF heading many large affair;
An air, indeed, that don't belle
The truth OF things as fortunes fly,
For he's the banker of the place,
A winner in uphill race,
A man who has made good indeed,
And gone right on with rocket speed,
And yet the truth must be hid
That man was Tomkins' bowlegged kid
You see the style that man puts on
AS he comes riding cross the lawn;
You see how much he seems to be
A man OF monstrous dignity
And has about him all the signs
OF what one in mans looks divines;
And is, i'll fact, just what he seems,
A statesman who has dreampt his
dreams,
And won the favor and the smile
OF those who like his manly style;
But. oh, how truth relates with 10y
That man was Grumbine's knockneed
boy
You heard that fellow preach last night,
And didn't he hold 'em good and tight
With eloqnence that seemed to stir
The soul far down beneath the whirr,
Ofpretty and of daily things;
You heard him soar on mounting wings
The heights of poesy, touch the fire
Of humanthought and grand desire,
And make them laugh and make them
weep,
A shepherd of these human sheep?
I'll tell you what will make you hump
That man was Iohnson's blockhead
Chump!
You read that piece. have no doubt,
And the latest novel out,
How trueit is to life. and great
With mastering insight into fate;
You read about the author. too,
And how the very cry and hue
Or worldwide praise is at his heels
Because his broad, fine work appeals;
Well, I'll surprise yHu when say
You knew him onceSn yesterday,
For-doubt or trust BE as you like
The man was Jim Smiths towhead tikel
In after years, what changes come!
Surprises such as strike us dumb;
The village kid, with tattered clothes,
Turns out the magnate in repose;
The village urchin who's so bad
He makes each rumbling neighbor mad,
Is Senator OF bonds and stocks
And at the proletariat mocks,
While Jepson's boy who seemed so wild
He never could be reconcIled
Just turned the corner, cane and hat

One reason why some men do not get
along better in this world is because
they have not the proper stimulant in
their homes. Their homes lack those
little touches of refinement which bring
the best out of them. Neatness and
taste are possible in the poorest homes
Let woman make the atmosphere as
dainty as her means allow, and she will
