A PAT ON THE SHOULDER

The appreciative word How CRATE
fully is it received What child on
showing some piece Of his handiwork,
imperfect though it be, is not made
happier by a word of praise. There is
without doubt something in almost
every thing done which is deserving of
credit if it be only the effort to accom-
plish something. A little praise of a
good point in a work will make easy
the way for suggestions for improve
ment. Faults kindly pointed out are
more easily corrected. Happy in feel
ing appreciated a child is encouraged
to try again and again. The student
who receives merited praise for his
work will work all the harder to reach
higher aim. The employee who is as
sured that his services are appreciated
will gladly make further effort to give
still better service. He will work with
more of joy in his task. In his turn
the employer who finds his treatment
of employees appreciated, will take
more thought for their welfare. Is the
patient, self-denying, single-hearted
and ever thoughtful care Of the mother
in the house, always appreciated as it
should be? Is it not too frequently
taken for granted and no thought given
it? Yet how grateful to the mother S
heart is one word of praise and express
sion of appreciation.
While too much praise may cause
conceit in a weak-minded person, it is
better that one should be made con-
ceited than that many hearts should
hunger for word or expression of
appreciation. Conceit is usually rubbed
out of the mind very surely by contact
with everyday life in the world There
are many weary souls, to whom a word
of appreciation would be as a healing
salve to a wound. Give praise where
it can be given honestly, and be sure
that it will help many a one upward on
the path of we'll doing. Elk.

surveyor, died Sunday evening at 6.35
O'Clock, at his home on West Fourth
street, Frederick. aged 63 years. Mr.
RACER suffered stroke of paralysis just
three weeks ago, and at the time he was

several days ago, and passed peacefully
away Sunday evening. Previous to his
last illness Mr.. RACER has been sufferer
from rheumatism for the past two years,

The former lodge, which was Adam
Lodge, l. O. 0. F., had previously gone
out of existence and Mr.. RACER, by per-
sonal effort, secured the petition for the
organization of King David Lodge. The
interest he took in its behalf, resulted
in his being called the father" of it.
He has held many Offices in the lodge
and at the time of his death was one. of
it's trustees. He has represented the
lodge at the grand lodge upon several
occasions. Mr.. RACER was also an ardent
member of Palestine Encampment, No.

While out hunting Tuesday of this
week, Mr.. John Vantz, of Emmitsburg,
was accidentally shot by his companion,
Mr.. Russell Whitmore. The two were
hunting on the land of Mrs. Fred. Wetzel
about mile north of Emmitsburg, and
the shot which struck Mr.. Vantz was
made when covey of cartridges rose.
The load struck Mr.. Vantz on the right
side from the thigh down. A messenger
was sent for DR.. Jamison, who, on learn.
ing the facts, pressed DR.. E. B. Seton,

Adding More Buildings.

1t is no doubt that many of the citizens
of this place will be surprised to know
that the Union Manufacturing Co. is
now erecting building 25x3O feet in the
rear of the |. O. O. F. Hall on &. Main
street. Business has increased to such
an extent that some time ago small
building for storage purposes was erected
in the rear of the main building, and now
this has been moved and a larger one
being built.
Mr.. Shaw, the superintendent of the
Hosiery, is ever ready to give employ
ment to those applying for work, and
from time to time must enlarge the
buildings to accommodate the business.
No person need hesitate asking for work,
if the room is just little crowded there
is yet plenty of ground on which to build.

Thanksgiving Day Quiet.
Citizens Attend Church, Dinner
And Go Hunting.

The annual Thanksgiving Day was OBJ
served in Thurmont last Thursday in a
quiet way. The annual service was held
in the Methodist church, Rev. Reinewald
of Emmitsburg, preaching the sermon,
he having arranged with Rev. M. l..
Beard to exchange pulpits for the occa-
sion.
After the church service and within
few steps of the church, an elaborate
dinner was served by the Mite Society
of St. Johns Lutheran church, and many
of those who attended church stopped at
the Hall and secured dinner before 60
ing home.
Of course, everybody did not go to the
church service nor to the dinner, some
stayed home and worked, others went
hunting. Among those who passed the
day hunting were two well known young
men, the one carrying double-barrel
Remington, the other what is known AS
a pump gun" or one in which large
number of shells are placed enough in
fact to last all day if game is not too
plentiful. As reported to US, these gen
tlemen left town via w. NJ station and
finally found themselves on the land of
Mr.. VIM. Stoner. As they were walking
along, up went something and Mr.. ID.
yelled to Mr.. R. "shoot, shoot and Mr..
R. began emptying the magazine of the
pump gun on what looked to be flock
of wild turkeys. After the smoke clear
ed Mr.. D. told Mr.. R. that he hit some
thing, and after searching for some time
they found a portion (the billy of poor
little Jennie Wren bird, Mr.. R. was so
pleased with his game that he took the
bill home ard had his landlady to make
