Searching Criticism.

Five-year-old Herbert, scion of a
bookish family, had learned to read
so early and so readily that his first
glimpses of storyland were growing
hazy in his memory. One day he con-
fided to his mother. "Ruthie showed
me her new book today, and it's the
queerest thing you ever saw! Why,
it just says, Is it dog? 1t is a dog.
Can the dog rum and a lot Of things
like that! Course was too polite to
say so, but it didn't seem to me the
style was bit juicy!"-Lippincotts.

aIadstone,s Domestic Rule

Mr.. Gladstone once said that he
had solved the domestic problem in
this way: Whenever Mrs. Gladstone
insists submit; and whenever insist
she submits" He didn't say, how
ever, whether they took turns about
insisting and submitting. Marriage
is failure when one of the parties
insists on being the insister and
doesn't take turns in submitting to
the submitter.

ADVERTISEMENT BROUGHT WIFE
Westminster Han Secured Bride By
Novel Means.

1t will be rendered that Mr..
William H. Koontz, of Hanover, Pa,
while living in Westminster last Feb
ruary, advertised in the Frederick
NLws for wife. AS result Of the
advertisement he is now a happy
benedict
Miss Barbara Smith, eighteen years
old, and daughter of William II.
Smith, farmer near Frederick ans
wered the advertisement, and follow
ing correspondence Mr.. koontz
called and the two proved congeniaL
Last Saturday morning he went to
Frederick and was met at the train
by his prospective bride. a license
was secured and the wedding cere-
mony was performed by Rev. T. III.
Lamar. The bride left home Friday
night ostensibly to spend the night
with her brother After being mar
ried she sent word to her father and
asked parental forgiveness.
In an interview with representa-
tive Of the Frederick News, the groom
said:
Her letter was the first l received,
and while | got few other letters yet
/ paid no attention to them. We met
duu pIduueu LOT our WSuuluS. MY
determination to advertise for wife
was the result of a joke and banter
among us boys at Westminster, and
said l would do it. / then had no
idea of getting married, and to me
the whole thing was great joke.
When | began to receive letters |
thought more and more about it, IN
til marriage received serious con-
sideration from me"
The bride blushingly admitted that
she had written to Mr.. Koontz, when
she saw in The News that he desired
wife, and that she at first regarded
the whole as joke. She stated that
her parents knew nothing OF her
marriage Saturday and that she had
spent Friday night at the home OF her
brother and had said nothing 70 him
of her approaching wedding.
The groom gave his age as 25 and
stated ne was employed in a pen
holder factory at Hanover, and that
he is, second foreman there. He
stated $4,000 and 10000 penholders
are made there daily and that his
work consists in seeing that the
enamel is baked upon the holders.

LITTLE GIRLS PLAY HOUSE.

"A doll house which has really been
designed by one of the foremost arch
fleets of the United States and which,
consequently, unlike most doll houses
Is perfect in design and proportion,
Is now being displayed in the window
of Smith & Reifsnider on Main street.
This little house is OF the old colonial
type-with red chimneys at either end,
green blinds, etc. 1t looks as though
it would cost about ten dollars but
az its purpose is to advertise Nepon-

and packed in a Neponset fibre case.
There is a lot of fun to be had in
putting the house together. With
each house is included every single
thing necessary for assembling ex-

The sides, floors and partitions are on

the roof il an imitation Of Neponset

outlasts wood. Smith & Reifsnider
are agents for all these Neponset pro-
ducts.
Neponset Wall Board by the way
is the material which is now being
used instead of laths and plaster. As
| it is already finished on the surface
when manufactured, it does not re-
quire painting or papering after it
has been nailed up on the studding.
Therefore it not only does away with
the nuisance of plastering but also
eliminates the necessity Of wall deco

The Election.

AS we are about to go to press. the
indications are that MaMyor Curtis
Democratic candidate for Governor, Is
elected by small plurality; and Rep
resentatives Kinds, Guernsey and Pc
tiers are reelected to Congress.
Kennebec has redeemed herself by a
handsome Republican plurality. The
campaign was probably the most &C
tive and spirited in any of yeyars in
Names political history.
In the face of an unfortunate di-
vision in nti-Democratic forces, the
Republicans splendidly led by Govern
or Haines waged magnificent fight
The result speaks for itself and will
appeal more eloquently to thoughtful
Progressive voters, who, under mis-
taken leadership. have thrown away
their ballots, than could any amount
of logic or rhetoric.
The work of Chairman Parkhurst of
the Republican State committee has
demonstrated qualities of leadership
with such men, and with rapidly in
creasing return of our Progressive
Brethren to Republican ranks, our
march TO complete victory is but
temporarily halted.

The Soldiers Rest.

(Sir Walter Scott)
Soldier, rest! thy warfare DER,
Sleep the sleep that lnows no breaking
Dream of battle-fields no more,
Days of danger, nights of waking.
In our isles enchanted hall,
Hands unseen thy couch are strewing.
Fairy strains of music fall,
Every sense in slumbcr dewing.
Soldier, rest! thy warfare Ger,
Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking;
Dream of battle-fields no more,
Morn of toll, nCr might of waking.
No rude sound shall reach thine ear,
Afmors clang, or war-steed champing,
trump nor pibroch summon here,
Mastering clan, or squadron tramping.
Yet the lark's shrill fife may come,
AT the daybreak from the fallow,
And the bittern sound his drum,
Booming from the sedgy shallow.
Ruder sounds shall none be near.
Guards nor warders challenge here;
Here's no war-steed's neigh and champ
ing,
Shouting clans or sauadrons stamping.
Huntsman, rest. thy chase is done;
While our slumb rous spells assail We,
Dream not with the rising sun,
Bugles here shall sound reveille.
sleep! the deer is In his den;
Sleep! thy hounds are by thee lying;
Sleep! nor dream in yonder glen.
How thy gallant steed lay dying.
Huntsman, rest. thy chase is done;
Think not of the rising sun,
For at dawning to assail We,
Here no bugle sounds reyeille.

however, it Is impossible to demand
the outlay of such a huge amount as
this program would necessitate. owing
to financial and other difficulties, the

scheme:
