That is our experience with this line. all\ (iixnl I.IK k. Mtinj Local Nlniroils Have Hxcopllon- The trains would hardly hold the nlmrods who wont out for tlio season's last hunt last week, and iu« dless to say several .specials w»rc required to bring the hunters and game hark. W. M. Scott, Harry Oohngen and John Penman took their dogs out on Little Sandy and evidently put everything out of commission that made itm homo on that .stream. Twentythree eotton tailH were routed and twenty-three cotton-tails were shot They also planted divers numbers of Hhot In nine different pheasants. Without stopping t«» make an exact estimate John Penman figures out that one hundred and fifty rabbit# and about forty-five pheasants would come pretty near covering his share of gam*' for this season. Charlie Pennu.n and Penn McCartney went to Hamilton recently t ■ give an exhibition as to how far a man could walk and not get tired, but they fooled even themselves and brought home fifteen rabbits and six pheasants. We always contended that. Penn was a good shot and was only having a run of hard luck. Somewhere In the wilds of ffefferson County, Joe Lorenzo and Frank Honey derived a few pheasants and eleven rabbits <>»' their parents the other day, and Frank said that Joe was even thoughtless enough to shoot a baby bunny. Fenton McAfee and Joseph Robinson brought five rabbits, three pheasants and a gray squirrel baek after a twenty-three mile walk last week. They went out for the walk and had no Intention whatever of going out of their way of game, nor did litoy except when one frisky young gray squirrel threw a fence rail at them. Then Joe chased it around the free for an hour and got sore because he winked a little too often at him, so ho gracefully shot off his head and brought the tail home for a rug. Dr. W. F .lJeyer, Evra Gourley, Kdward Murray and Geary Snyder returned last week from Laurel Creek, Clearfield County, where they have been deer hunting the past two weeks. With them thoy brought two deer. Dr. Beyer and (leary Snyder were the lucky ones, Geary getting " twopronged buck anil I)r- Beyer a largo doe, both of which weru shot last Saturday. . i For a brief hour Sunday afternoon, Punxsutaxvney Klks were clos| etcd with the "honored dead" of Lodge No. 30J. R. P. O. Elks, and j while the general public was drawn by those tender bonds of human , fellowship to the auditorium where i he annual exei*eis< s c»f the Lodge of Sorrow were being held, it was a strictly tin tiered concourse that participated in tho exercises, simple but withal impressive. Only those who hevc joined in the "eleven o'clock toast," could possibly realize the true significance of the s. rviees, unless II #U/.t be those in whose veins (low the blood of those who have passed beyond the pale of human woes and have answered the rail of the Supreme Kxalted Ruler, to "come up higher.'" Promptly tit three o'clock Manager Maglnnls appeared before the curtain at Jefferson Theater and announced that bee-list* of a late train Klbert Hubbard, who was the speaker of the afternoon, would not arrive for about half an hour after the time that had been .announced for the opening of t he rviees. One half hour later the services were opened bylthe singing of "Wonderful Peace" by a chorus of nine m:il« voices who more than filled the requirements expected of them. After the ritualistic work had boon completed and the opening ode had broil sung:, P. K. Jarvls rendered Millard's "Ave Maria." which was well received by those in attendance. The next number in the order of the services, the invocation by Rev. IV \V. Miner, was omitted on account of the lateness of the hour and the above-mentioned exercises were followed immediately by the address of the day by Klb< rt Hubbard who chose as his subject "The Religion of an Honorable Elk." Mr. Hubbard did not need an Introduction as his face was familiar to moat of those assembled in the theater yesterday and therefore he started in to tell the audience of many little experiences in his life which signified the sprit oi Klkdom. The speaker impressed the audience from the hrst and at times , a pin could be heard to drop, t-o intent were those assembled upon catching every word that fell from ills lips. Mr. Hubburd spoke on the advance of the World, showing the reason for the downfall of tW many great countries and cities who had reigned supreme and finally showed that the spirit tHat prevails in ail the countries of the gl"be today is nothing more than the >ame spirit inaugurated and advanced by the H. 1'. O. Klks from th» trho of their founding to the present lay. The speaker dwelt long on the subjeet of the hanges that are taking place all ov r the World and especially the l ulled States at the present time. "Different methods are being adopted for the treatment of criminals in our penitentiaries and of the insane in our asylums,'' said Mr. Hubbard, and from this point lie went on to show that these institutions are turning out better men than has heretofore beer. ?he custom. Judge IJndst v. of Penver. Colorado, came in for his share of praise from the speaker for his founding of the Juvenile Court in that eity and the good that has come of his method of treating with "the boys." He showed that tliis too was but the spirit of Elkdom and that in time all things will be conducted by their rule, an open nnnd for every man, ending his speech w'th the words 'hat have become part of himself and his character. "Do your work the best you ran and be kind." After a solo by Miss Rose Snyder, which was e\iremolv well-rendered, and "Hock of Vges," Dy the. chorus, tho lodge took up th«> closing work of the Lod e » ! t ' v . J h I »o» iy was then sung by the lodge, chorus and the audience and Rev. C. II. Fitzwilliain pronounced the benediction, thus bringing the services of the year to a close. The theater was beautifully decorated for the occasion with plants ferns anJ pahns and the i.Olks of Punxsutawney tnado an Imposing picture ms tlvy sat In a naif circle on the stage under ar. elk's head and electric light bulbs of their own colors. purple and white. At eleven o'clock last night ninny of the Elks assembled In their rooms and a silent toast was given at eleven o'clock for their departed dead. Silent though it was, the thought uppermost In the minds of every member gathered in the lodge rooms was "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sands; Their virtues upon the tablots of love and memory." The Board of Arbitration appointed by the Scale Agreement Committee of District No. 2 met at Clearfield Friday . William McPherson, one of the members of the Hoard who was selected by the United Mine Workers handed in his resignation which was accepted and Patrick Gilday, President of District No. 2 named James Purcell, of Tioga County to fill the vacancy.The Hoard of Arbitration now consists of Kli F. Connor, of Cresson; Richard Gilbert .of Clearfield; James Purcell, of Tioga County, and B. M. Clark ,of Punxfcutawney. Two cases were heard yesterday. The first one was presented by the employes of th»' Hooch On - k Coal \- Coke Company, They alleged that the company had refused to recognize certain assignments made to the check weighman authorizing a deduction of coal to be made for the checkweighman's fund After hearing tho evidence the board decided that the assignments were properly executed and directed the Reech Creek Coal Company to accept find recognize them. Evidence was also heard on another case presented by the miners against the Reech Cre« k Coal «V t'oke Company alleging that the company was charging without authority a commission of five per cent, on all moneys due the chcekwt Ighman fund created by written orders given bv the miners authorizing a deduction of coal from their semi-monthly tonnage, payment to be made to the check Welshman. After hearing a large number of witnesses a question of jurisdiction was raised and the Hoard of Arbitration without deciding the question deemed it wise to call upon the officials of the rutted Mine Workers and the Hltuminous Operators' Association to sign a paper agreeing to give the board the necessary jurisdiction of the controversy and that their dei ision or that of an umpire should be final. Several officials of both associations were present at the meeting, among others being Patrick Gllday, who ex pre.- ed himself as being highly pleasid with the work of the Hoard. Such a paper was prepared and wus forwarded to the above named officials and upon its return, which will likely be some time next week, the Hoard will resume the hearing. 'There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heaven's Jeweled crown They shine forevermore." Punx'y Elk* aikI Friends Honor Their Itaiul. LODGE OF SOIUtOW. A SQUARE DEAL-WEBER « ..
