Think ThurmOnt Good Place For Doctors

Think ThurmOnt Good Place For Doctors
The following article was published in
the Waynesboro, Pa, Daily Herald last
Friday, the day after the excursion to
Baltimore. 1t is not quite clear to US
whether the item was written as joke
on the town, our physicians or the two
"medicos''. 1t says:
"Thurmont, Md, is destined to have an
influx of medical doctors-a regular gorge
of them if this story gets noised abroad
through the ranks.
yesterday on the Western Maryland
excursion to Baltimore were two young
ish looking medicos occupying the same
seat. When the train stopped for water
or allow the train crew to shake hands
with the crowd on the platform, as is
more likely the case-one of the medicos
said to the other;
"'Just look over at the big cemetery,
with all those graves, for little town
like this, why the people here must die
faster than babies are born. What a
place for doctor to locate!
"And the other disciple of Aesculapius
agreed with his brother that it would be
corking town to hang out an I'M. D"
sign, as it was evident from the big city
of the dead hardly that there were no
docs in that town nor anywhere within
twenty miles around-else how could 50
many people be dying and the graveyard
filling so fast?"

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of November 10Th, direct from
a record run of fifty-two weeks in New
York. Selwyn & Co. present the laugh
festival,
TWIN BEDS,
by Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo.
The farce that put the May into neigh
b rliness in fashionable big apartment
houses. Clean, human, irresistably funny.
Twin Beds, with its record of fifty
two weeks of popularity on Broadway,
will have it's initial presentation in Bal
timore at Ford's, week of November 90.
1t is rollicking, wholesome farce, clean
as high wind, swift moving in its ac-
ton, brilliantly slangy and vivid in its
dialogue, adroit and sure in its charac-
terization.
The story of the play is built around
what happens when six people in assort-
ments of two each live in three apart
ments directly above each other, and,
having made the initial blunder of being
neighborly then strive to recapture the
peace and privacy of their several homes.
The Selwyn & Co. cast includes the
most enthralling of ingenues for Blanche,
and the most vigorous and efficient OF
condolences for the Signora, in fact al
the parts are in the hands of superlative
ly skillful and gifted players.

corning which so much was said and writ,

Attempt to Burn Barn.

Last Friday night about 10 O'Clock an
was made to burn barn on the property
of Mr.. Charles K. Rhoderick, in Middle
town. The fire was discovered by a
person passing the barn. The alarm was
given and few buckets of water well
applied put an end to the blaze. A corn
cob saturated with oil and placed in a
manger was used to start the blaze. The
building is situated to the rear of the
Valley Register Office and had not been
for the timely discovery of the blaze, in
all probability the Register building and
many others close by would have been
consumed. An investigation will be
made.

Gist Blair For Congress.
He And His Home Town Given
Considerable Boom.

In recent issue of 'The Montgomery
Press of Kensington, Montgomery Co..
the town of Silver Springs is given much
space in the way of writeup and adver-
tisement. Along with this Mr.. Gist
Blair, prominent resident of that town,
and candidate for Congressman from
the Sixth Congressional District of Ma
ryland on the Republican side, is given
considerable space. Speaking of Mr..
Blair it says:
ut is more than probable that SILVER
Spring will furnish the next representa-
tive in Congress from the sixth Mary
land district in the person of Gist Blair.
who is easily the leading candidate for
the Republican nomination. The counties
no longer vote separately in nominating
conventions but the voters in the entire
district, taken as whole, make the NOM
ination in the primary. and, therefore,
Montgomery county will count as effect
lively as any other county in the district
by her large and solid vote for her fav-
orite son. Of course, this county will be
for Mr.. Blair and the citizens of Silver
Spring hope to see lively campaign in
the interest of their distinguished fellow
townsman. Mr.. Blair also confidently
expects the vote of Garrett county, where
his family friends, the Brownings, de-
scendants of old Meschack the hunter,
reside, and believes he will have enough
in the other three counties to carry off
the nomination over all corners.
"Mr. Blair is known all over the sixth
distri ct much better than any other man
who is likely to get into the campaign
and enters upon the race with many
things in his favor. A gentleman of
pleasing address, entirely without osten-
tatisn, he is attracting new friends every
day."

PICTURES AT TOWN HALL.

Wednesday evening, December 9th,
Clara Kimball Young in
"HEARTS IN EXILE"
founded on novel of the same name by
the late John Oxenham. Five parts.
Clara Kimball Young plays the part in
this drama of Hope Ivonovna, beauti-
full Russian girl, in the tragic position OF
being lawfully married to two men both
of whom are sincere in their attachment
to her.
But irrespective of it's purely dramatic
interest, the picture makes wide appeal
to those who are interested in the aspect
which the vast European-Asiatic empire
presents to them. The Great Northern
empire still, it is said, condemns its po-
litical and other prisoners to exile in ST.
IBERIA. Life in it's convict stations is hard
and tyrannous. We see Cossack fights
and a real wolf chase. Many of the
scenes were taken with snow on ground
and ice on the water and the frigid as
poets of Russo-Siberian life are shown in
the film.
One of the most sensational incidents
of the story is the pursuit of one horse
man by another on a frozen river. There
is assure in the ice and the foremost
horseman plunges headlong into the wa
ter and is followed by his pursuer. The
men and horses were almost frozen to
death by the terrible experiences thro
which they passed. That truth is stran-
ger than fiction will be acknowledged by

sian life unfoded on the screen Wednes-

Last Friday the weather man served a
variety of elements to this part of the

morning or about midnight and continue
until daybreak. Wind began to howl
and soon the black clouds broke and the
sun shone bright and warm. Shortly
after noon a heavy cloud gathered and
heavy peals of thunder were heard to the

at Lewistown there was considerable
hail. Thus it was all day-rain, wind,
