Lutheran charges at Rohrerstown
and Chestnut Hill and Rev. Lands is
minister to the Lutheran Church of
the Redeemer and also the Church of
the Ascension in Lancaster. Both
ministers drew the same salary and
their wives were much together.
Last Sunday the stork fiuttered
over the home of Rev. Yerger. The
minister met a nurse at the door of
Mrs. Yerger's bedchamber and the
nurse said: "a fine boy, DR.. Yerger."
The minister was rubbing his hands
gleefully when the nurse reappeared
and exclaimed: "And now little girl
has come. Beautiful twins, DIR. Yer
ger"
That day Rev. Yerger sent the
word of double joy over to his friends,
Rev. and Mrs. Lands. They sent con-
gratulations, and, until last Thursday
it appeared that the parallel events in
the lives of the two couples had been
broken. But the stork, a consistent
bird, evened matters up nicely. Early
in the morning of that day Rev. Ian
dis was poised on the threshold of
Mrs. Lands bedroom when a nurse
appeared. "a fine boy has come for
you, DR.. Landis,''' she exclaimed and
quickly retreated back into the room.
DR.. Lands was walking up and down
the floor, rubbing his hands in glee,
when the nurse again appeared at the
door and whispered quickly, 'Dr.
Lands, sweet little girl has come,
too. You have splendid twins"
Of course the baby girls will be
named in honor of the mothers and
the boys In honor of the proud faith
ers.

WE ARE ON THE JOB.

The Star Mirror was the only paper
in the country to publish yesterday a
genuine photograph cut of DR.. Bran
non, the new university president, and
to give a full and accurate account OF
his history and career. The brief no
tice in the Spokesman-Review was
only surmise and was published be-
fore the actual election took place,
which was yesterday afternoon about
four o'clock The members of the
Der of persons in Moscow, have known
for a month who the new president
would be, but the information was not
given to the public until the full board
in special session ratified the choice
of the committee designated to find a
man for the position.
Anticipating that large number OF
persons would like to send a copy of
last nights paper to friends else
where who have an interest in the
affairs of the university, we have print
ed limited number of extra copies.
These may be obtained at the Star
Mirror office. Former students, mem
bers of the faculty, and residents will
be glad to have such an excellent like
ness of the new president and to know
the character and life of the man who

Self-Criticism.

A business man who had amassed a
comfortable fortune lost it in specula-
t5un. He became a travelling salesman,
and having to work" every hamlet
and country store in order to make
lends meet, he found himself one night
crossing a pasture where a number of
mules were grazing.
Now it is a well-known fact that
those animals, particularly after dark
will follow in single file any moving
object that attracts their attention,
This they proceeded to do, stepping Sc
-dately and at regular intervals behind
him.
When the worried man, immersed in
his troubles, looked over his shoulder
and saw the sort of procession he
was heading, he stopped. Then, al
tho he had only the rising moon to
share the spectacle, he said, solemnly
Fright you are, boys. You know me.

A GET-ToGETHER PROPOSAL

That live wire, the Boise CONNER
cial club, has launched a vigorous and
long-needed campaign to bring farmers
and city-folk into closer relations. II
is trying to promote spirit of mutual
goodwill and cooperation between
the man who produces and the man
who sells. The inter-dependence OF
these two factors in the building upof
a community, the obvious, Is often
overlooked. Through the State League
of Commercial Bodies, an effort is be-
ing made to have all towns provide
rest-rooms for the farmers so thai
they and their families may feel that
they have place in the heart OF their
counties, and to persuade farmers to
join the city commercial clubs and at
tend the meetings. In Boise farmers
adviser has been appointed, who, three
times each week, meets the farmers in
the club-rooms to confer with them on
matters of interest to both town and
country. With those who are too far
away to take advantage of these per-
sonal interviews, helpful correspond
ence is maintained.
All these good works, beneficial as
they have been, are yet in the opinion
of Secretary Child of Boise, puny
when compared with the power of the
press. In one issue paper can preach
the doctrine of city and country CO.
operation to hundreds and thousands.
Too often the farmer takes the posi-
ton that in the city every mans hand
is against him. He sometimes treats
the store-keeper with as much dis
trust as if he suspected that the
shelves were filled with gold-bricks,
instead of shirts and socks. And the
town resident is often equally at fault
in misconstruing the motives and acts
of the farmer Such misunderstood
ings spring usually from. a lack on
facts and from the prejudiced talk of
INSCRIPTIONS and bigoted speakers.
The prosperity of Moscow depends
to an extent not to be exaggerated up
on the success, goodwill and support
of the farmers who do their trading
here. And in Moscow the farmers
hereabout find the best if not the only
market for their produce, and to sup
ply their needs, the only stores where
they can be at once sure of excel
lent quality, fair prices, and the new
est styles.
In establishing complete harmony |
between farmers and business men |
here in Moscow, is there not great |
deal to be done? And would it not
be we'll for our commercial club to
add this activity to their excellent
program?

That Anti-Bryan Conspiracy.

The tale of widespread and richly
financed conspiracy to force Mr.
Bryan out of the presidents cabinet
is well told, but there are good rea-
sons for not accepting it, One is that
there is no conceivable motive for the
big interests, if any such still exist,
to desire Mr.. Bryans removal. In this
present place he is comparatively
harmless, except as an occasional mud
dler of foreign questions, which do
not bother the trusts and financiers at
all. As his activities might be i'm
Imeasurably increased, his health be-
ing excellent and his energy undated,
| if he were relieved of his ministerial
duties the inhabitants of the "enemy's
country" are more than anxious to
keep him just where he is. There is
no other position in which the def
ciencies of Mr.. Bryan as a construc-
tive statesman could be more frequent
ly or more clearly demonstrated.
The organization formed to dscour-
age and discredit him, which Mr..
Bryan's friends have discovered in
their dreams includes the press These
friends intimate that the Washington
correspondents have been bribed to
make fun of him That is obviously
untrue. Mr.. Bryan has provided all
the fun himself, and the correspon-
dents have only reported it. What
is more, his departure from the capt
tai would be regarded as a loss by all
of them. He provides many columns
of the very best copy" to enliven
the chronicles day by day. His in
terest in the family marketing, his
total abstinence banquets. his fond
ness for grape juice his association
with the artists of vaudeville on the
circuits, are subjects that
relieved the monotony of department |
and congressional debates |
The conspiracy yarn may therefore be
dismissed as myth.-New York |
Times.

Wanderers Return Disappointed.

Those much discussed American
farmers who began to cross the line in
to Upper Canada in such numbers a
few years ago were no great loss, and
if, as reported, they are now returning
about as fast as they went, it is no
great gain.
They are, to be sure, sturdy and
enterprising lot, with many admirable
qualities-potential the best of citi-
zens, in SHORTCUT their theory of as
riculture is deplorably unsound, and
that they will ever accept and practice
better one is highly dubious.
They deserted us because they were
miners rather than farmers, and be-
cause the supply of new land here for
them ruthlessly to- exploit was about
exhausted They went where they
could repeat the reckless operation.
but the harder climatic conditions of
Canada or the greater distance from
markets prevented them from making
the expected quick profits.
Meanwhile the acres which they had
robbed and reduced to worthlessness =
for themselves-have for the most part
been taken up by farmers of another
sort and are producing crops far lar
ger than ever before.-New York

| Tango Barred Again.
Well, the tango discussion has brok-
en- out in Austria. The pronunciamen-
to issued against the dance from the
Vatican seems not to have been suffi-
cient. Emperor Franz Joseph is said
to condemn it as strongly as does Pope
Plus. AS result, the Austrian war
office has sent forth an edict forbid
ding uniformed officers to dance the
tango at public balls. AS majority
of the male dancers at the important
balls are army officers, the prohibition
is practically universal.
Italy Strengthening Navy.
Advocates of international peace are
not little disturbed over rumors that
have emanated from Rome during the
last fortnight. 1t is said that the sale
of the Brazilian battleship Rio de ia
metro to Italy is imminent. Should this
prove to be true, it will be shock to
those who fondly believe that the world
is turning toward lasting peace. Italy
will shortly have, five dreadnaughts at
sea and is already the first naval power
in the Mediterranean.
Better Get Married.
There is a movement on foot in
France to tax unmarried persons TWEEN
ty per cent in the new income tax. One
of the leading dailies of Paris offers
some consolation to bachelors, how
ever: it is that Sir Thomas Upton, in
building his new yacht, has employed
only unmarried men, for the reason
that married men might betray the
secrets of her construction to their
wives" Sir Thomas, it may be added,
is a bachelor himself, and is prejudiced
in favor of similar unfortunateS.
Tango Getting Cheap.
Parisians should worry whether the |
tango is approved of or not. The very
smart set, as matter of fact, has I
dropped the much discussed dance. |
They say it has become very cheap |
since the tang has been taken out of |
it, so now something more exclusive |
is desired. Fashion leaders find it
more entertaining these afternoons to |
spend the afternoon in the salons OF /
their dressmakers, where they see /
others dance and are served with cakes Y
and tea. 1t is needless to say that
some of the dances are, to say the
least, exciting, the very highest priced \
artists being engaged for their perfor-
nance. Again it is needless to add
