THE Evil IN FRErrING.

There is one sin which seems to us is
everywhere and by everybody undereSti-
mated and quite too much overlooked in
our valuation of character. 1t is the sin
of fretting, SO common that unless it
rises above its usual monotone we do not
observe it. Watch any ordinary coming
together Of people and see how many
minutes it will be before somebody
frets-that is, makes moTe or less COM
planning statement OF something or
other, which most probably everyone in
the room, or in the Car, or on the street
corner, it may be, knew before, and
which probably no one can help. Why
say anything about il? 1t is cold. it is
hot it is wet. it is dry; somebody has
broken an appointment, i'll cooked a
meal; stupidity or bad faith, somewhere
has resulted in discomfort
There are plenty OF things to fret about
1t is simply astonishing how much an
noyance may be found in the course of
every days living, even at the simplest,
il one only keeps a sharp eye ON that
side of things. Even the Holy Writ says
that we are prone to trouble as the
sparks fly upward. But even to the
sparks flying upward in the blackest OF
smoke there is blue sky above, and
the less time that they waste on the road
the sooner they will reach it. Fretting
is all time wasted on the road.

ToMoRRow's SORROW.

TOMORROW S SORROW.
There is very little trouble
That happens to US today;
It's the sorrows of tomorrow
That drives our joys away.
We some times sit and wonder
And stew and fume and fret
For fear something may happen,
But it hasn't happened vet.
There was once a lonely woman
Who cried down by the sea;
"What if my pretty children
All should perished bel"
Now this particular woman,
Who thus did cry and fret,
Is still maiden lady,
So it hasn't happened yet.

ADVICE 70 AN ENG >GED MAN.

ADVICE TO AN ENG AGED MAN.
If you think that a woman is any
weaker minded than man. stop where
you are.
If you intend to treat yourself any bet
ter than your wife, don't take one.
If you suppose that running the house
consists in paying the bills, don't under
take it.
If you have an idea that you are too
good for a picked up dinner remain a
bachelor.
If you have found it hard task to be
happy yourself, do not try to make any
one else happy.
If.you have chosen pretty woman
without regard TO her other qualities,
halt; you are on the wrong road.
If you think house should have
only one head, and that head to be your
own, postpone your wedding indefinitely
If you are Of the opinion that marriage
makes the man and wife one, and that
you are that one, send in your regrets at
once.
If you are one of the men who think

Big Mountaindale Picnic.

The Mountaindale picnic which was
held at Mountandaie this county, on
Saturday, September 5th, is said to have
been the largest and best picnic ever
held at that place. As this was the
thirty first affair it means that large
crowd wasspresent at this woods jollifi-
cation whieh5eems to grow more popu-
lar every year. A crowd estimated at
between four and five thousand persons
were present, and the clear, cool, Septem-
Der day made it an ideal one for the
picnic. Persons travelled to the grounds
in teams of every description while
many came in autos. The Thurmont
Division of the Hagerstown and Fred
erIck Railway was taxed to its utmost
capacity, and its cars were crowded all
the day. Many persons passed through
Frederick on the way to the picnic.
Addresses were made by the Rev.
Reese St. Clair Potfinberger, pastor Of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church, of
Woodsboro, this county; Rev. u. s. G..
Rupp, pastor of the Evangelical Luther
an Church, OF this city. and the Rev. En-
field, formerly pastor Of the Methodist
Protestant Church, at Lewistown. There
were solos, duets and quartettes, while
songs were rendered by large chorus.
Music was furnished by the Yellow
Springs and Woodsboro Bands, while
Keiauver's merry-go-round furnished
amusement for MANY. In spite of the
large crowd it is said that the picnic
passed off very quietly, no disorder being
reported.
The Mountaindale picnic is genera llv
the last Of the season, but owing to the
rain having caused a postponement sew
eral weeks ago, the Middetown picnic
will wind up the season this year.

Tobacco Stems and Stalks are
Valuable Fertilizers.

Should the demand OF Europe for
American tobacco stems cease, these
stems, which contain large quantities of
plant food, especially potash, may be
used to good advantage by the American
grower of tobacco as fertilizer. Soil fer
tilted by these stems secured from thR
cigar and tobacco factories and stem
meries. will produce leaf tobacco Of bet
ter burning qualities and texture
Tobacco stems as fertilizer should be
applied in smaller quantities than ma

stems from the tobacco factories and

suits in New England. and, as far as
available, these stems will undoubtedly
furnish very satisfactory source OF pot

other tobacco sections.
] Considerable quantities of tobacco
stems have long been exported to Ger
many and other parts OF Europe where
they are often used in the manufacture
of low grade smoking tobacco and as
source OF nicotine.
Tobacco stalks which are not removed
from the farm under prevailing methods,
are not always used to the best advantage
as fertilizer. Like the stems they con.

bacco and other crops They may be
pro6tably used to improve the hay lot
by simply spreading the stalks over the
land in the fall or they may be plowed
under at the same season for cultivated
crops suchas cotton, corn. tobacco. etc.
The practice of piling tobacco stalks in
heaps and leaving them exposed to the
weather means a waste of valuable ma
terial that might be returned to the soil.
The practice of burning them is also
wasteful unless they are infected by such
a serious disease as the Granville wilt

HOW TO TELL HER AGE.


Girls of a marriageable age do not like
to tell how old they are, but you can
find it out by following the suboined in
structions, the young lady doing the fig
uring: Tell her to put down the number
OF the month in which she was born,
then to multiply it by 2, then to add S,
then to multiply it by so, then to add her
age, then, gasact 365, then to add us,
then te the ssf4fi--y0u the amount that
she b and. The two figures to the
rigAary tell you her age and the re-
'affec.er the month of her birth. For
: ample, if the amount is S22, she is
twenty-five years old and was born in
the eighth month, (August). Try it.
The need of some place to drop down
for moment and forget things is a most
crying one IN most homes. There ought
to be enough sofas around to accommo-
date all of the family. Five minutes rest
will prevent many a family row, and
how can you get rest if YOU have to pull
the shams off OF the bed and roll up the
coverid? A shabby old lounge, where
you can get at it. is worth its weight in
gold; and you won't want to die half so
loosening of the tension for ever so few
minutes may save your reason some day.
Don't go out and try to walk off your
worries; don't tell them to be your
friend, either. Just throw yourself down
on the sofa for little while; shut your
eyes and pretend that you have ho care.
The worries will be lighter before you re-
alize it, your brain will be clearer and
heart stronger to meet those that press
the closest.
If brothers or sisters err, the world
says 'shun them; thus you will show
that you disapprove of the act, making
an example of them" Alas how many
examples we have of this mode of teach.
ing crowding the haunts OF infamy today.
Once bright young lives, over whose
pure lips and innocent brows mothers
watched in all tenderness; but the tremb-
ling feet took one false step, and so we
thrust them out Of our hearts, out Of our
churches, and would even thrust them
out of heaven. Is it right is it just, is it
Christ like?
