WHEN YOUR DAUGHTER WEEDS.

At this time of the year when the
brides never fail to be numerous, the fol-
lowing sensible words that appeared in
one Of our most valued exchanges will be
read with interest The editor uses the
question, rs there mother who does
not feel little sinking Of the heart as
she sees her daughter go out of her
home as bride?"
''Most mothers delude themselves IN
the belief that by some alchemy of fate
their children will be saved from all of
the ills of existence-physical or mental.
How much better it would be If we
taught our children to look life Squarely
in the face, so that when troubles come
they will bear them bravely.
'If your daughter is to be happy in
her welded life, she must have learned
from your precept and practice the duties
of home maker. She must be able TO
care for house properly, with or with
out servants; she must be well versed in
the arts OF cooking and plain sewing
but above all she must look at life as it
is, sanely and logically.
"After you have taken your last coun-
sci with your daughter before her mar
riage, you might say to her: From to-
night shall not interfere IN your affairs,
as | know that husbands and wives
makes the laws, OF their own households.
What might be right for me and your
father might not be at all practical in
your case.
"Neither is it good idea to tell me of
all of the little annoyances that come
between you and your husband, as the
retailing of them ouy makes them seem
worse Do not think for moment that
will not be near to help you IN any real
trouble when | am needed, but you
must remember from now on you have
elected to take up the reality Of life, and
if you truly love your husband and he
truly loves you nothing will count in the
balance.
"'Your mother, my child, has done her
best to prepare you for happy mar
rage. My real work is finished; yours
has Just begun. Make me happy by car
rying it on to fuller fruition than | have
been able to carry mine, and will feel
that have not lived in vain.
'"Go my child, and may Joy and peace
go with you" >"

Creagerstown Begins to Rise
From it's Ashes.

Saturday morning marked the begin
ming of Creagerstown's rebuilding of the
area DESTROYED by the fire. The first
building was the barn of Mr.. George
Stevens. By noon, on Saturday. August
22nd, the heavy oak timbers of the barn,
46 by SO in size, had been placed in po-
sition as well as the rafters. During the
evening the weather boarding was put on
and by night the barn was almost COM
plete Mort & Son, of Woodsboro,
have the contract for the barn. Abont
rs men assisted Saturday morning in the
raising.
Foundations are about completed for
the new Clarence Valentine Hotel,
which will occupy ground space of 80
by 90 feet, and will be three stories
high.
Robert L. Ogle is also pushing the
work upon the foundations for his new
residence and store buildings, and Geo.
Stevens will soon begin work on his new
residence.
1t is the general opinion that within
month Creagerstown will again look like
the old town.

Arthur D. Willard, OF the Frederick
Bar, recently received word that Judge
John c. Rose, of the United States Court,
in Baltimore, who is spending the sum-
mer in Maine, has appointed him referee

ruptcy about year ago to succeed Major
E. Y. Goldsborough, whose failing health
caused him to resign the position. Mr..
Eichelberger. during his term, conducted

"Go Into Politics. Says the
Governor.

That politics, commonly Sneered at as
a profession, demands the leisure of
every man of the county, city and State,
for the common welfare of the State was
emphasized on Sunday night, August
23rd, by Governor Phillips Lee Colds
borough at the Sunday evening song SER
vice at Braddock Heights. An enormous
crowd of people from all parts of the
county and State filled the auditorium
of the Heights to overflowing. Hundreds
of peo 1le stood outside of the doors in
the hope of hearing the Governor of
Maryland as he delivered his address on
The Relation of the Layman to the
State and to the Church"
Let every man give some of his leis-
ure time to politics." said Governor
Goldsb0rough. 'Give up the habit too
commonly prevalent, of regarding poll
tics with sneer. The calling is an hon.
orable one. 1t is wide and practical

the complex problems of life. Take hold
of it as you would do any other business

no stronger than the weakest man in the
administration. Good men must work
for the nomination ofthe best candidates.
We must have men of the highest types
to enter the primaries.
''Show me a well governed city or
State, and one where the best men mani
fest a lively interest in its welfare, and
are determined not to knock, and
will show you city and State going for

I'VE have worked reforms in prison
management. In our State we have
abolished contract labor, and stamped
out corporal punishment in our prisons.
A prisoner is human, just as we are, and

ment, nor are there any stripes in our
Maryland penitentiaries, am very glad
to tell you"

SING AT YOUR WORK.

At this season of the year one can
learn a lesson of cheerfulness from the
birds that warble their cheerful songs
from morning until evening. Another
lesson that they both teach us is that the
bird that has its nest in the small and
thorny bush sings as sweetly and is as
happy as the one that calls the stately
oak its home So it is with families. In
the little cottage you often find the
mother singing and more happy and con-
tented than the one who dwells in the
marble front Let us learn lesson from
the birds and be cheerful in our homes,
be they great or small. One wiser than
US has the following lesson Of the canary
and inquiries what is more cheerful in
home than a canary bird warbling runs
and thrille of song all day long?
To be joyful and to impart his fine
spirit of contentment to others seems 10
be the canary's chief business in
life. And how does he take it? No
grouching, no skimpng, no hungry
watching of the clock for him. But head
thrown b~ck and throat ripping, he
pours out his message OF cheer with
zeal and heartiness and complete dedica-
ton in which there does not seem to- be
an element of selfishnesS or a particle of
stingy reserve.
Why do you not, also sing at your
work?
There is lot of value in the habit.
1t unkinks the snarls and ruffles in your
own mind and soul and it is mighty
good example to others.
One audbly happy person in house
hold, Office or workshop is often able to
infect all of the others, for nothing is so
contagious as an emotion. 1t is next to
impossible to stay grouched alongside of
a person who is singing or joking. And
unlike the one rotten apple which cor
rupts the basketful the most contagious
of all emotions is the emotion of happl
ness.
You could do this, too, by just taking
a tip from the canary. To see the
bright side, to impart Joy instead of
gloom, to be throughout a life time an
infectious center of happiness-of song
have show. You, with all of the ad
vantages of mind and soul ought easily
to be able to beat a dumb canary if you
would really try.
He who can create his own happiness
in the sphere in which he finds himself,
has within him one of the real elements
of success in business and success in
winning happiness.

ACT WELL YOUR PART.

Our happiness in this life depends not
so much on circumstances and surround
ings as in onr determined efforts to do
our best in all conditions in which we
are placed. Our common heritage is
more or less allied to sorrows and pain,
but we have an antidote within ourselves
the sunshine Of the heart that will alle-
viate, if not remove many of our troubles.
But we persistentlv reject the means of
happiness that lie within our reach, by
ignoring present small pleasures in hopes
of enjoying greater ones in the future
good time that is coming, and which
ALWAYS keeps just ahead, and is unat-
tainabe. We cultivate the little cares un-
til they some times attain enormous
growth by constantly dwelling on them
and dolefully rehearsing them to our
friends when we should do our best to
rise above them. In the most difficult
and trying conditions there will often be
brighter side.

NEEDS PROPER ATTENTION.

aThere was nothing surprising that its was discovered that the foot and mouth disease is prevailing in Con- necticut. With all the states about us suffering from the trouble and cattle received into this state at the same time that the contagion was heinz re- ported in the others, it is no more than what could be expected. It does seem strange, however that some. evidence of it was not disclosed in this state before this. since it was known at the time of the placing Of quarantine in neighboring states that shipments had been made to the vicinity or Hartford.
 Connecticut tackles It's problem somewhat later than other sfaTes and it must devote every energy to the restriction of the disease to as few localities as psssib4e. The spreading of the contagion has not been pre- vented and now the task arises of holding it to its present confines. This calls for ant should receive the heart jest cooperation upon the part of all cattle owners. It is for their interest that the disease should be quickly and eftec<ualiy stamped out The fewer cases the less will the meat and the milk, supply, ,of"ti1e state be affected and not only the cattle owners, but every householder Is interested therein.
 Prompt and efficient methods should accomplish a great deal.

 The voice thrilled Hamilton: it's cadences were well known Yet it was sweeter than he remembered It, richer and tenderer, He opened his aston- ished eyes and looked into the face bending over him.

 At this moment 8 blooming young girl approached them. She looked in astonishrnent at the two before her. The nurse smiled and seemed about to speak, but paused as the doctor hustled up and claimed her services. Then Hamilton was left alone.
 The hours wore away. The wrecking crew aET1NSQ ana cleared the IEaCk, the new engine was attached to the ex- press. the train once more moved to- ward it's destination. Lulled by the rhythmic motion of the car, Robert Hamilton sank to sleep. When he awoke it was broad daylight and Lima stood by his side with a steaming tray; the young girl whom he had seen the day before carried another. In spite of the fact that she had been up all night his wife looked cheerful and happy as she said:
 We are going to have breakfast with you. The wrecking crew ate up eV- erything but coffee and bread. That good deal better than nothing, how ever. Roberta, darling, put your tray here"
 Roberta" Hamilton wondered at the name. He scrutinized the bright young face; she was strinkingly like his mother.
 Lima looked happily at her husband, then at the girl beside her. Tenderly she took Roberta's hand and laid it within Hamilton's and clasped the two with her own.

THE AUpAcIoUs.

Though the loss of the British su- perdreadnought Audacious has been confirmed, the disaster is still shroud- ed in as much mystery as some Of the early war news. There may be certain facts in connection herewith which are mot ascertainabie but there is no doubt that the keeping of the loss secret for a period of three weeks had much to do with it. About the only thing certain is thar the Auda- cious is at tine bottom of the ocean, with the crew saved except one and many conflicting stories az to the cir elinnstances are afioat
 It is natuFal that the British should be reluctant to flash to the world the destractfon OF one Of its best vessels, but it is practically certain that had it been suEfE by q German submarine ehgre would have been eagerness upon the UaPE of Berlin to make known the acconIpI pIsshnrent- The natural suppo- sitfon therefore Is that the warship struck a mine with fatal results, re- gaFdless oG who may havs placed it and thus proving that such vessels, almost the last word in naval afehi- lecture, are by no means invulnerabIe. Though they may not be sunk as quickly as smaller vessels, they. are nevertheless fin dangerous territory when they approach a mine field or encounter such fnstrur1 r1entsAofedeSEruc ton ahoat.

THAT FIVE PER CENT. REBATE.

HAl FAY E F6n VEN is hE6A IEa
 When the provision was placed in the new tariff bill providing for a. re- bate of i've per cent. on the duties of all goods brought into this country in AmeEican bottoms it was 6one for the purpose of Indirectly aiding the American merchant marine. Irnme- dfately it ran up against the treaty provisicns with different nations for as an addition to the rebate clause it was provided that it could not be so constructed as to Naorogate Or affect the provisions of any treaty between the United States and any foreign na- tfon conflict with treaties appeared at once. Difference Of opinion exist ed among of17cfa1s and an appeal was customs appeals by twenty-nfne for eign countries. The outcome of the hearing thereon thus causes interest both at home and abroad.
 Even additional concern is stimu- lated by the change in the American registry laws and the increase in the number of American vessels. Such not only causes greater foreign opposi- ton. but tt also creates more corn- pIicati0nS at home. The adninistra- ton has experienced a large falling off in revenue as the result of the tar if changes which it has put into ef feet. Such 8. decrease has made it necessary to impose a. war tax, but with the revenue already too small should it be determined that the five per cent. rebate is to be turned over to the American ships engaged in for eign trade another appreciable slice will be cut from the collections. It fs but natural, therefore, that this piece of legislation should be receiving in- creased attention.
