What IglJUa
A continuos fight for existence
from the time ooe comas to this
world without his consent, and.
leaves against his will. Wbat
does he have during his stay oa
earth? Moot of his life is spent
la Ot e continuous round of controversies aad misunders'anding.
In his infancy he is an angel; in
his boyhood he is a devil; ia bis
manhood he is everything from
a loung - lizard ap to a lady
chaser; if he gets married and
raises a family he is a chump; if
be raises a check he ia a thief*
tben tbe law raist-s Cain with him
if he stays single be ie shirking
his duty as a citizen. It he is a
poor man he is "a po r manager
a id has no sen >e; it he is rich he
is dishonest bat considered smart;
if be holds political office he is a
grafter; if he is oat of politics
you can't p'ace bim as ao unde-
s r bio citizen; if he goes to
cburh he is a hypocrite; if he
stays away he is a sinner atid according to some church members
he is condemned a'ready. When
he first comes into tbe wor d all
the girls want to kiss him, tben
after he is older they make bim
kiss them. Before he goes oat
of the world they all want to
kick bim. Should he die you> g
its a shame as he had a wonderful future before him. If he
lives to a ripe old age he is like
tbst old song, "Always in the
way," and is only- living to save
funeral expenses. Isint life a
funny proposition attar all?

The second of the foi hunts
conducted under the auspices of
the Blair Oounty Game, Fish
and Forestry association, was
beld Saturday, more than 101
huntsmen from Altoona, aad
points in Blair county participating. A pair of foxes fell bliwi
the aim of the gunners, in the
vicinity of Tipton and Fuoss'
Mills on Brash mountain where
the chase took place. Game warden Frank A.Myera wn again ia
charge of the hunt
The start was Blade, at 8 o'clock
from Bland Park where, where
ail tbe huntsman bad gathered
prior to the beginning of the
chase, a number coming from
Altoona, by automobile aad
others by trolley and train. Numbered among those participating
were delegations from both Bell-
v> ood aod Tyrone.
While not particularly successful from the. standpoint of tha
number of Renyards killed, yet
this afteratt is but' a secondary
consideration. From a "fuo"
point af view, the hunt could not
have been any more successful.
Everything went off according to
schedule, while oue of the most
interesting points about the trip
was the taking of motion pictures
of the chase, through arreoge-
nu nt with the William F. •able
company. Pictures were taken
showing ^the hunters in actioon

, The commissary department
consisting of Bert Akendan of
the Altoooa Rubber compaoy,
chief cook, aid Herman Critch-
field, ef the Altooua Leather
Store, chief assistant were shout
the busiest men in tbe world, on
Saturday, the appetites of the
hunters seeming to be aever satisfied. Baked beans, cofiee,
weiners, cigars and cream,
wi re the chief items on the bill
of fare,-the "smokes" being furnished by Jonny Winters of Tyrone, and tbe cream by tho Morris >n's Oove Co-operative association.
In order that a repetition of
the eveuts of the last hunt, could
not occur, the commissary department saw to it tbat there was
enough for all. There was enough
but not too' much, according to
the reports brought back by
by Messrs. Akerman. and Critch-
field.
Game Warden Myers, during
the course of the day, delivered
ao instructive talk witb hunting
in general and fox hunting in
particular, as his subject.
These chases after sly old rey-
nard have attracted the attention
of hunters from adjoining counties, and on Saturday one of the
participants was a maa from
Utahville, who walked to from
the chase, a distanse of about
twenty miles. Hs a'so bad his
hound along. The spor temop of
the Olayburg distriot bave made
a bid for thOoext fox bunt and
it will be accepted. Those of
that section wbo delight in the
chase ore bow making preparations to entertain   the  hunters.

thrown clear of the bridge into
waters of tbe Susquehanna river,

hold onto them until his rescue

Ao amusing incident in connection with tbe fall ol Mr. Lite*

his pipe tightly between his teeth
during the entire time.
Mr. Housel in falling, ia some
meaner caught his teet on a large
plank, laying at-the edge of the
