Paragraph Opinions
NOT DRAGGING, OF COURSE

We don't often brag or boast, but
the following paragraph in the Spill
way" column on the editorial page of
The Baltimore Sun on Tuesday, is
one that re believe you should have
the opportunity of reading, if you have
not already done so. 1t follows:
GA few days age or maybe a fort
night, wrote little paragraph about
Garrett county and its troubles. Since
then l have had several reminders,
not all Of them pleasant, that had
laid myself open to rejoinder. But
now on my desk | find a handsome
volume, "The Wild Flowers of the
Alleghanies," inscribed by its author,
Mr.. Joseph E. Harmed. Mr.. Harmed,
l gather, is an amateur botanist, but
one would never know it from an ex-
animation of his work. 1t is a careful
and, so far as l can see, full cata-
logue of the flora of the Allegheny
region carefully compiled and illus
trated with meticulous drawings by
F. S. Mathews, the noted botanical
artist, few of which are in color.
The nomenclature and classification is
that of Gray, which shows the dis
elimination of the author.
This is the pleasantest kind of
riposte to my perhaps not carefully
considered paragraph. 1t seems to i'm
ply that county which can produce a
man whose mere hobby carries him
to such heights of learning is far
from decadent. 1t might even imply
that county which can produce prin-
ter capable Of the excellent work
shown in this volume has means of
support even if its coal mines are de-
pleted and its forests nearly eX-
hausted."
Our feeling of extreme satisfaction
comes from the fact that Mr.. Harned's
book was printed in The Republican
office.

Now that the trial over the mail
box and the frecracker is over, per-
haps the government will be able to
replace the mailboX that has been
missing since the occasion. 1t was on
one of the busiest corners in town,
and there's a law against removing
one from an out of the way place and
substituting.
With Jim Farley's manufactured
surplus in the postal department sure
ly they could find mailbox or two.
Now that Oakland people have
used up another Sunday afternoon
showing Baltimore people our wood
land beauty spots, let them take an
other excursion and show members
of their families who were left at
home two weeks ago, those same
beauty spots.
Some lady asked Mr.. Weber, the
florist, the other day while inspecting
flowers at the greenhouse, if he knew
he had ants in his plants.

lHE fear of poisoning was so great
in the Middle Ages that many families
had an official faster. Considered the
greatest safeguard against all polsons
and toxics we're the bezoar stones,
concretions partly organic and partly
mineral in composition, found only
in the stomachs of herbivorous ami
mails. Such miraculous powers were
accredited to these stones that i'm
mense sums of money we're paid for
their possession. In Italy. there is a
record of a large ducal estate changing
hands for the possession of one of these
stones weighing only a few ounces.
Those who could not afford to own
bezoar stone could rent one and wear
it as an amulet or charm to dispel evil
for varying periods of time.
