Got Her Souvenir.

There is a certain famous violinist
who frequently visits this country, and
VINO, among mis- acquaintances, is al
most as noted for his parsimony as for
his genius. Among this musicians 5
admirers was young woman who
was determined, If possible, TO pro-
cure some souvenir of the great man.
Her opportunity came one rainy day
when she CHANGED to encounter the
musician On Broadway. He was pro
.yided with an old cotton umbrella,
green with age; while the young wom-
an carried nice new silk one. She
stopped him for moment, exclaIm-
ing: "Oh, if you would only give me
some slight remembrance of yourself
no matter how smalll" The great
man surveyed her keenly, and then
gave a glance at the old cotton um-
brella that covered him. This he
thrust into her hands, saying: Ger
tainly, my dear young lady. shall
be delighted. We will exchange UNI
brellas."

Peace Centenary Plans.

The Anglo-Amefican Peace Center
ary, an association formed in England to
celebrate the tooth anniversary of peace
between the United States and England,
has sent to Mayor Fraley an announce
ment Of its plans for the celebration OF
this centenary which proposes to bring
the matter before the school children OF
each nation and to have hung in each
school Of the two nations a momento Of
the centenary. The association has pur-
chased Sulgrave Manor. the ancestral
home Of George Washington, the first
president Of the United States. The me-
.nento for schools is 40 inches long by 90
inches wide, mounted on rollers and Of
linen, with the royal coat Of arms of King
Henry VII. Below is a copy OF the
Kings grant Of Sulgrave Manor to Laur-

Cunosrry or rasn1on.

One Of the curiosities of fashion is
the return OF the walking stick to
favor. It has had its ups and downs
ever since the days Of Pericles, when
no Athenian gentleman dared be seen
abroad without it. Just as fye-and-
twenty years ago the Oxford under
graduate. when not in fannels or
academical, must carry a walking
stick.
1t is certainly not the undergraduate
who is bringing the former fashion in
again, for his pose in a Norfolk jacket
and slouch in slippers-and without
hat. A "clouded cane" would be
out Of place with such accompani-
ments. Nor do we think it is the
actor, which has always stood out
iterally-against the support Of the
stick in the streets, knowing that its
mice conduct" will spoil mis- poise.
And really. to young man. the cane
seems the most s..EerlJogs Of e1cum-
bTance5.

pesoIate West Africa.

Lobito bay, in Portuguese West
Africa, is a wonderful natural harbor
and also a place for splendid oysters.
They are long shelled oysters and
grow on trees. At low tide these
oysters (very good eating) are picked
of the trunks of the trees below
high water mark. These oysters con-
stitute a pleasant welcome to what for
100 miles inland is a desolate terri
tory. Between the short and the in
terror plateau lies the thirsty coun-
try" where no rain has fallen for
years. Everything is dull dead gray
and the only trees that flourish are
the gigantic baobabs, which grow like
an inverted cabbage and yield cream
Of tartar. In building the railway
through this district, of every 100
men employed thirty were occupied in
carrying up supplies of water.

Hits at Parcel Post.

The Senate Committee on Postofices
and Post Roads has revived the movement
TO strip the Postmaster General and tn =
Inter State Commerce Commission OF
power to extend the parcel post service.
Representative David J. Lewis, Of Mary
land, father Of the parcel post, said the
movement If successful. virtually means
the death Of parcel post"
The Senate Committee on Postofices
approved an amendment to the Parcel
Post act. which provides that no further
extensions in the service shall be made
until authorized by Congress. In other
words the Senate committee amendment
ties the Postmaster Generals hands and
vests in Congress the power to change
the rates, TO increase weight limits, re-
form the zone plan and to make other ex-
tensions when the service justifes them.
When advised Of this movement Rep.
resentative Lewis. Of Maryland, was an
noyed. He declared that he would pre-.
fer TO see the whole Parcel Post act re-
pealed than to see Congress kill the pro-
vision in the act authorizing the Post
master General TO extend the service
when the extensions are approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

ADVICE FROM THE VETERAN
Actors Opinion Of Ability Of His
Would-5e Colleague Was Not in
the Least Degree FIattering.

The veteran actor, c. ". Couldock
who is probably best remembered Dy
the theatergoers for his impersonarion
OF Dunstan Kirk in Hazel Kirke"
many years ago, was putting a com
pany together for q contemplated
tour. The actors were 10 be recruit
ed from q stock company in Cleveland
Ohio.
Mr.. Couldcck, addressing one Of the
actors, Ogden BY name, asked that
gentleman TO see him (Couldock) IN
his dressing room after the perform
ance
Ogden was on the job as soon as
be heard the curtain bump the floor.

ness are you supposed 70 De play

ACT ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Old Adage That "He Who Hesitates
Is Lost" Is Whole Bundle
of Truth.

In q letter 70 a friend at a great
moral crisis in his life Darwin ex-
pressed an observation which is con-
frmed by general experience. The
action which had suggested itself TO
him when he first faced the crisis he
had condemned as dishonorable. On
further consideration, when he was
sorely tempted TO proceed, he told his
friend Of the struggle he was having,
but added. First impressions are gen
orally right" and he proposed 10 stand
by his first impression that the course
In view would be dishonorable.
When moral question involving
difficulties is put up 70 person his
first impression is on the merits OF
the question, without reference to the
difficulties of the course. Later the
difficulties begin to loom up, and eau
ton is apt 10 get the better Of the
doubter
Reflection on matter Of disagree
able duty often paralyzes action. The
adage, He who hesitates is lost" en-
bodies a store of wisdom.

Big Saving by Economy Bills.

II the economy bills 10 be urged for
passage AZ Annapolis By A delegation
representing the Frederick County Farm
ers' Association, are all successful in their
trip through the Legislature, It IS esti-
mated, IN round figures. that yearly
saving Of between i've and ten thousand
dollars will result TO Frederick county.
Yesterday morning the following rep
resentatiyes Of the Farmers Association
left for Annapolis to present the proposed
economy measures to the Legislature:
James II. Gambrill. Jr.. d. J. Markey, Z.
II. Mcbride, George K. Dennis. r. Rush
Lewis. William J. Grove, Jesse ?. King
and Emory Remsburg.
il IS IN the proposed bills making
changes in the administration Of affairs in
the county treasurer's Office that the
greatest savings are expected TO be made.
The salary Of that official. who will also
serve as clerk TO the County Commission
ers under the new measures. is to be a
fiat s.. 600 per annum. without any other
emolumeni. This will do away with the
fees arising from sccumulations of inter
est OF county funds and discounts for the
early payment Of State taxes that under
the present system inure entirely 10 the
benefit OF the county treasurer. Whether
or not under the proposed new laws these
discounts and interest accunulations will
Be added 10 the connty's Golfers, will de-
pend upon the activity Of the treasurer in
taking advantage Of opportunities TO get
them.

Hints Worth Remembering.

When making coffee this improves the
flavor Place the coffee in a pan in a
fairly hot oven for about three minutes
before making.
Raw potatoes are very good TO use If
the knives are very badly stained. Take
a raw potato. cut in half. then dip it in
powdered bathbrick and rub the knives

When potied plants begin to droop,
the following method IS very good fol

water the plants freely with it.

private schools and COLLEGES all over the

port these private institutions. We
mean BY private schools that they are

L. the second place there Is 10 State need

tsrested few, who fatten on the peo-
pc. The Democratic party owes it
70 the people to put stop to this cor
rapt system, because It claims and pro
fesses 10 be an honest and economical
party, and We charge It to appropriate
no more money to Johns Hopkins Uni
Yersity 10 this generation, for it has
been a hideous nightmare Of the tax

THE LEGISLATURE MU S T
PROTECT THE TAXPAYERS.

There never was such q Wild scramble
and hunt before any Legislature that
has ever met at Annapolis for appropri
ations Of the State money as there Is
now going on before the present Legisla-
ture It. therefore, becomes the in
peratiye duty Of every member Of the
Legislature to cali to mind the fact that
he Is sent there to protect the taxpayers.
This Is especially true Of the delegation
from this county, because our people are
heavy taxpayers to the State Treasury.
Our people pay taxes away beyond
the proportion ofa large majority Of the
counties Of this State. This being
rich c, unity, and our taxes to the State
are very high now, our members are in
duty bound TO see that there shall be
no increase in the State debt, and no in
crease 10 the State tax rate.
The State taxes are about ihirty-oDe
cents on the one hundred doIlsrs, and
this is higher than they have been for
half century A few year, ago this
State was out Of debt. and the people
were congratulated upon the fact that in
few years from that time, there would
be no State taxes TO be paid as the
States investments would pay the State :
expenses.
Instead Of that condition We owe a
larger State debt than ever before, and
our State taxes are higher than we have
ever had to pay
Notwithstanding this Condition there
is an avalanche Of schemes and plans
laid and being laid to raid the State
Treasury and the taxpayers, and they
come from all parts If tie State aud
some even from Frederick, and We are
not certain that those from our own
county are more deserving than most Of
those from other parts Of the State. Il
would take up too much time to enum
crate them in this article, but suffice it is
to say that their name Is legion, and
their amount is fabulous, and the justice
and propriety Of nearly all Of them are
utterly indefensible and unjustifabIe
by any rules Of honest purpose, economy
or reason and sound sense.
They want six millions Of dollars for
the State roads, one million for a
bridge over Light street in Baltimore
City, million for the State Agricult
ural College, and any number, or almost
unnumbered private college-, and schools,
and hospitals and other eleemosynary
institutions in Baltimare City, and III
over the State are holding up the Legis
lature for money
In the first place they are asking for
reckless and extravagant sums Of money
sums 50 vast that the taxpayers can
not possibly pay them.
IF they asked for one-half that they
have asked for, it would be entirely too
much, even if they were entitled to any
We do not believe that the Legislature
has the right to thus vote away the
money Of the people.
What right have the taxpayers Of
this county to support the private
schools and colleges all over the State,
when they are already taxed to pay for
the support Of the public schools and
high schools established under our public
system?
1t is all right to support our public
and high schools, and there the burden
ofthe taxpayer ought to cease.
But instead Of that he is forced to
pay his hard earned money to support

Damage Done by SCOT.

The acids contained in SCOT attack
mortar, masonry, woodwork, metal
work and building material generally.
In many European cities it has been
found that SCOT causes tha rapid dis
ntegration of statuary and public
monuments. The damage done to in
side secorations appears to be no less
important than the effects upon the
exterior Of buildings.
Smoke is visible proof of imperfect
combustion of fuel, and consequently
evidence of waste and ineficiency. ~
