"The scheme worked all right until along about the middle of October when trade began t«» fall off. The effect then was to cause people to believe that the store had been transformed Into a refrigerator. Mr. Feicht did not get wise until about November 1, but when lie did 'catch on' he smashed that thermometer over the counter and stuck It (the thermometer) into the fire." "Mr. Feicht looked wise and indicating that 'mum' was the word, pointed to thf thermometer.

'.Speaking of thermometers," said Cortelyou's local representative, • | don't think their evidence is trustworthy.. Take, for instance, that one Charlie Felcht had hanging in fropt of his drug store last summer.

Falling: health admonished him that his days were cumbered and ho began "to set his house in order" long before the end came. His preparations were fully made and when the summons of the l*ord came he was ready. During the last few months the thought, of his departure was spoken of by him and the light of heaven glistened in his face, as he reminded the loved ones of his going. His last illness was .short and tenderly cared for by his loving wife and daughter, he peacefully entered into rest. With strong Christian faith he went down into the valley feeling "on his brow the breath of the eternal morning" and enjoying the blessed companionship of Him Who said: "Lo f am with you always, oven unto the end." ♦ The most of his life was spent on his farm in Perry Township, Jeffer- , 'son County, until seventeen years ago. | when he gave up the occupation of j farmer und mo».-d to Punxsutawncy. ! During these v ventoen years his upright Christian life has endeared him i to all his friends and neighbors.

As they passed out onto the street. Chief of Police Palmer, who was passing nlong in front of the Rathskeller, was notified of the trouble. The officer directed the men to settle the bill but his command was also turned down. When the chef finally placed tho victuals on the table the visitors, who had evidently been Imbibing too freely, gave the proprietor the horse laugh and said that they believed they would not eat until the following day. They were told that they would be charged for the meals at any rate, but instead of "falling to" they got up to leave. Nine dollars for two meals is rather an unusually high price for diners t> pay in Punxsutawney, but that Is the sum put up for a double bill of faro at the Rathskeller by a pair of strangers Tuesday afternoon. About three o'clock two men. foreigners, who subsequently gave their names as Steve Fedora and Frank Miersak, and their residence as Clarksburg, Pa., entered the Rathskeller and ordered up dinner for two. It being after lunch hour the local caterer did not have .1 complete bill of fare prepared, but the order was soon filled at a nearby butcher shop. ■ . kVW H  & SI m M HI i )■ '■ ■ 'W:iv:';iBKi W ■'»•■ n n IMr ■ ■ ■'■ ■ ■ H ■ w is i r IB w IHLI W • *•* mM I m
