frozen, Blaine Garfield Ramsey
and Miss Daisy Pearl Shore both
of Maddensville, Pa, were mar
ried at the Washington Square
Methodist Episcopal parsonage
Hagerstown, last Wednesday by
Rev. Allan F. Poore.
The couple accompanied by the
brides parents left Maddensville
at three A. M. in Ramsey's auto.
When they struck the mountains
they almost froze and suffered
greatly. AS it was about dawn
they could not stop enroute to
get warm.
When the car stopped in front
of the court house at Hagerstown
Ramsey attempted to get out of
the machine, but his legs benumb-
ed by the cold, refused to sustain
him. He was assisted from the
car into the courthouse, which
had just opened and obtained the
marriage license.

TEXAS COWPUNCHER
DIES WORTH MILLION
As Boy Asked For Cattle In
Lieu Of Pay.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Wert Love, who has
died at Warfa, started as a cowboy
without even horse that he could call
his own and became millionaire owner
of vast herds and a ranch that was a
domain in itself.
A resident of West Texas since 1885.
Vert Love was known to every cow
man from Fort Worth to Ell Paso. He
had his peculiar characteristics, and
thrift was one of them. But while he
was frugal, he never allowed a genuine
case of distress to go unrelieved.
When other cowboys were drawing
their wages in gold back in the eighties
and riding to FL Paso or San Antonio
to spend the money in riotous living or
over the gaming table Vert Love was
putting his earnings into cows. His
start was seven cows. At his death he
could not have counted all the cattle in
his herd if he had ridden hard for a
month at the task.
His first work after coming west was
Davis. He was a mere boy and re-
ceived but $25 a month and his board.
He refused to take any money except
that necessary to buy his clothes, which
were few, and asked to be paid in cows.
In 1889 he had $50 head. After the
start it seemed easy to those who
watched Vert Love. but they knew he
was working hard all the time.
He always picked the best cattle
when he bought and he always picked
the best range for them. The result
was that he lost few cattle by disease
or drought. He watched the markets
and sold right and invested the money
again.
The result was that when he died 200
men were on his payroll and his estate
was worth more than $1,000,000. A
son nine years old will get most of it
and will probably be the richest boy in
Texas.

Civil Service Examiners Bar All APP
picants of This Type.
Washington rule of the post
office department that mo grass wild
ows need apply" was adhered to by
the examiners of the civil service COM
mission in examining applicants for
government positions. This is not
new rule, but it is being enforced more
strictly now than ever before.
The postofice department has had a
regulation for several years that barred
from its civil service roll married wo-
men. Grass widows are considered
married, but divorced women are not
and therefore are eligible.
Recently the postofiice department
and the civil service commission let up
on the grass widows somewhat. Wo-
men who were separated from their
husbands without fault of their own
and were struggling for a living were
admitted, but the drawing of the line
between those who were grass widows
for cause and those who were grass
widows by no fault of their own be-
came a bone of contention, and all
grass widows were barred.

some Forms OF rheumatism Durable
Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms are
Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rheu-
matte Headaches. Sciatic Rheumatism
and Lumbago. All Of these types can
be helped absolutely by applying some
good liniment that penetrates. An ap-
plication of Sloan's liniment two or
three times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's hni-
ment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic pain, because it penetrates
to the seat of the trouble, sooihes the
afflicted part and draws the pain.
"Sloan's Liniment is all medicine,

buildings and the enlargement, recon-
stIuction or Encouragement of others,
it is understood, can be available at

In addition to improvements and
whether the corps is increased or not,
Colonel Townsley recommends that an
appropriation of $350,000 be made for

walton, to take the place of the present
three bath" structure, which has the
distinction of being the oldest hotel in
the Hudson valley.
eff an increase of the corps of cadets
to 1,200 or 1900 is authorized" Colonel
Townsley adds, this increase should
be gradual and distributed over a pc
riod of four years, so as not to have the
increase occur all in one class"
Colonel Towhsley directs attention to
the fact that many candidates for ca
detships are rejected because of phys
lcdl ueleClSi eighty Va INC TOO OA"Ah
ined the past year having failed. He
observes, however, that the physical
requirements are none too rigid for
those who will be expected to meet the
strenuous life in field service.
"With the law of 1910, which is now
extended to 1923, in force and the pres
ent standards for entrance maintained"
says the report, 81 believe that the
academy can secure enough cadets to
keep up its capacity of 100 very closely.
The desire of the academy being to Sc
cure the best and most promising ma
terial for officers in the regular army,
there should be no lowering Of its
standards for entrance or of it's require
ments as to discipline or academic
work"

CRACKED HEAD THAT
HEALS HELP TO BRAIN
Results In Regeneration of
Tissues, Says Professor.

Chicago.-For fifteen years Charles
Manning Child, associate professor of
zoology in the University of Chicago,
has been experimenting on plants and
animals to solve the problem of youth
and age. AS the result in his "Se-
nescence and Rejuvenescence," Pro-
fessor Child turns upside down a lot
of current notions about growth and
death.
He prescribes regular fasts, provid-
ed no organic disease exists. He sug-
gests vacations or changes in mental
occupation after long continued men,
tai labor in a particular field. The eff
the nerve cells, he finds, and this
means the nerve cells are built up
anew as in youth.
Professor Child utters warning
against overeating. Overnutrition, he
says, increases the rate of senescence.
All life, he points out, Is develop
ment toward senescence and death.
Natures idea is to build up a man,
have him do his duty toward increas-
ing the species and then move on to
disintegration.
Injuries, when death does not follow,
result in the regeneration of the It's
sues affected. and this regeneration
makes those tissues young again.
A cracked pate that heals is good
for the brain. From this comes the
explanation of the old familiar story
of the man who, recovering from an
almost fatal injury or serious illness,
becomes healthier, more vigorous and
youthful than before. 1t also con-
firms the old one about the idiot who,
being hit terrific blow on the head,
regains his reason.
