              [ Horse In Sink Hole
Driver! on the Store Butcher Wagon Had Ex
citing Experience
pfjj lHILE serving his trade on Rena
11 >l street, William Peters driver
WAM for the Hershey meat depart-ment,
met with what might
have been a very serious accident, but
as it was neither Bill or horse were
hurt!
' The accident happened about 7.30
Saturday morning. Mr. Peters had
driven a short distance down the new
street which has . lately been open for
traffic , when all of a-sudden before the
driver could realize what had happened,
his horse sank in a sink hole which had
beenlcaused by the newly filled street.
The drop was so sudden that it tore the
horse from the shafts, breaking the
harnessj as tho it were string. Mr.
Peters saw at once he would need as-sistance,
and called for help.4 All the
tinners and plumbers that were work-ing
in the new houses, were soon on
the job. The task was no easy one, for
the 10 men tugged and pulled an hour
before the horse was lifted from the
mire. This did not stop the hustling
driver, for he soon ;had the harness
patched up and was on his way serving
his customers none of the worse for his
experience. ?

Goat In the Path
William Lappin Falls Over a Goat as He
Goes Home From Work
l l x j iHILE going home from work on
1 1 J Monday evening, William Lap- ^^
pin
experienced
the
peculiar
sensation of falling over a goat
which was lying in a pathway between
Hershey and Derry Church. At the
time Mr. Lappin was somewhat fright-ened
thinking that the obstacle that
had blocked- his path was a drunken
man. Being under that impression .he
was afraid to go back and discover what
really was the cause of his fall. He
found out later that it was the Angora
goat which belongs to David Gordon
that had caused the trouble and was
greatly relieved. As a result of the
fall Mr. Lappin has a badly bruised
side. - . ¦ • '• ¦

"Tho Your Sins Be as Scarlet. "

Lf »I kind for several years, in Her-
ByH shey, was given by the Lotus
Glee Club and Mrs. Minnie
Marshall-Smith, reader,. in the Park
Amphitheater Tuesday night. Atho
Part I Of the program was nearly-over
before the audience began to express
their appreciation Of the work of the
entertainers and to ask for more of the
good things which they had in store, by
the time the concert was over everyone
was enthusiastic over the program
which had been rendered. The work of
the singers together, the solos and the
readings of Mrs. Smith were perfect.
Mrs. Smith's rendition of "Mrs. New-lywed's
First Visit to the Butchershop"
and her readings to music delighted the
audience. The burlesque on grand op-era,
with which the program was closed,
was something new. In it the mem-bers
of the club proved themselves to
be not only vocalists of the first rank
but also entertainers of no mean- ability.
