A Sleigh Ride To Bismarck It Was a Long Ride, but, Oh, You Turkey Supper . > For some time we have heard .a great deal about a sleigh ride that several of our prominent young men were going to have, but somehow or other would fall through at the time . set. But every-thing comes to him who waits, and as they had waited long enough, this sleigh ride came to them, for which they were very glad. So on Saturday evening Irvin Aungst got out the sleigh and in jumped Hoppy Gingrich, Jim Putt, Frank Barnhart, Clarence Shenk, Pat-rick Lapplin Hess Bigley, Al. Wirth, Hoffer. Bowman, Fred Rank, Ed. Gross, Jesse McSherry, . Polly Garman, Will Weise, Curt. Hollingsworthj and M. Hinkle, and away they ¦went. It is a good long ride to Bismarck, and when they got there they -were glad, yes, mighty glad, and the people in that town were glad to see them. - Mr. 0. S. Hoke, proprietor of the Cornwall House, gave them the glad hand, and he soon had them feeling at home. A turkey supper, had been prepared and whiley dining they were treated to sweet strains of music, as played by the Bismarck Orchestra , composed of Miss Lillian Gemmi^ pianist; F. H. Gemmi, clarionetist; Hi. .Dohner-, trombonist; and S. Peters, mellophone. ._ Some of the selections played for their approval were: "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here!" "Oh, You Kid!" "Are There Any More at Home Like You," etc. It's a. long ride from Hershey'to. Bis-marck, but it is twice as long from Bismarck to Hershey—that is what we have been informed. They Didn t Get Much Booty, Because There Wasn't Much Boot y to Get The robbers were with us on Sunday evening, and Mr. Earl'Mays, the station agent, will vouch for this, although he will not enlighten you to any great ex-tent as to the details, but will refer you elsewhere, as he did us. As it was, the robbers entered by the rear door, and if' an electric light had been placed at this entrance so that the robbers could have seen the large placard "No Entrance, apply at the Ticket Win-dow," they might have taken heed thereto and entered according to these directions. This is neither here nor there as Mr. Mays will inform you, for the result would have been the same. The robbers got away with some money, the receipts of Saturday evening and Sunday. The bag was returned to Mr. Mays by Mr. . Irvin Good,' who found same laying on the roadway. The P. & R. Station Robbed Mr. Homer Moyer 's Horse Did Not Have a Ghost of a Show On Friday evening of last week Mr. Homer Moyer betook himself to the home of Mr. George Eppley. Mr. Moy-er's mission was to challenge Mr. Ep-pley to have a horse race. Mr. Moyer had made up his mind that he was" go-ing to settle for all time who had the better horse, and he would have Mr. Eppley hitch up 'his horse. Mr. Eppley was not feeling in the. humor, but Hom-er finally persuaded him. So he hitched up his horse, and a few moments after- ; ward they were going down Chocolate Avenue; and so fast did they go that they almost had the Ben Hur chariot race beat to a frazzle. Passing out of 1 the town Mr. Eppley let his horse out ¦| and he soon left Homer in the gloaming. Homer urged on his horse for all that | was in him, but it was all to no avail. : In all, they had five heats, and ^acc'ord-ing to what Mr. Eppley informs us, Homer's horse lost all five of them. For wVich Homer has our sympathy. As it is,, however, Homer says he en-joys racing, even if he does get beat. Homer is not as yet satisfied with the outcome of this race, and he thinks that with wheels instead of runners he would be able to give the laugh to Mr. Eppley. Decoration Day is coming on and it might be a good idea to hold this race at Hershey Park as an added attraction.
