MOM PLEASANT REMEMBERS ALL j HER SOLDIERS «0f Whom She has Them Back to the Revolutionary War. THE LOCAL MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM CARRIED OUT HERE A8 BECOMES THI8 LOYAL OLD TOWN. The Weather was Ideal and as a Re-sult There was a Fine Parade with a Big Crowd in the Cemetery to Hear Rev. Mr. Rosselot, Colonel Robbins’ Substitute,Deliver a Splen-did Address. Features That Made the Observance of the Day Here Memorable. Mount Pleasant observed Memorial Day as becomes this loyal old town that has her soldiers who have lallen in all her country's wars from tlie days of the Revolution down to the war with Spain, and Thursday last saw all their graves strewn with sweetest flowers by sorrow-ing comrades, to whom the members of a younger generation were proud to honor by their presence. The day was ideal and the attendance, especially in the cemetery where the exercises were held, larger than upon any former occa-sion. The parade was formed at 9:30 a. m. in front of the Grand Opera House and moved to the East End and tlience, by way of Main street and Sand Hill avenue, in the following order: Chief Marshal, J. G. Thompson Aids, Mayor Crosby and Alex Gray Mount Pleasant Drum Corps Company E, N. G. P. Robert Warden Post G. A. R , and other old soldiers in automobiles and carriages. Spanish-American War Veterans. Mount Pleasant Cornet Band B. P. O. Elks, No. 868 Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias. Mount Pleasant Junior Drum Corps Colonel Edward E. Robbins, who had been engaged to deliver the memorial address but was prevented by being one of the lawyers in the famous Jacob Byers will case, is a good speaker, and many were disappointed to learn that he could not be here; that is, until after they had heard Rev. F. P. Rosselot, pastor of the Greensburg First United Brethren church, and then they were pleased, not that Colonel Robbins didn't come, but be-cause he had such an excellent substi-tute. Rev. Mr. Rosselot began by waving a little Revolutionary flag and then told what patriotism had done for this coun-try in all the wars from that which forced Mother England to give us free-dom down to the lale argument at arms we had with Spain. His voice is clear and strong and as he spoke of the deeds of these heroes, those who are still with us as well as those who have answered the Great Captain's call, every heart in the big audience was his. W. Morgan Smith, of this place, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, got flags from that society with which to mark the grave of John J. Hemminger, a Revolutionary war sol-dier, whose body now lies in the ceme-tery. He was born May 9, 1758, and died April 5, 1842, his body being recently removed from the old Chnrch street graveyard. Mr. Smith, whose mother’s grave here will be dedicated next year by the Greensburg chapter of the Daugh-ters of the Revolution, is anxious to learn if there are any Either Revolu-tionary war soldiers buried in this sec-tion. Any person having such informa-tion will confer a favor on him by send-ing it to this office. “Uncle” Paul Bossart, of near Pleasant Unity, who fifty years ago taught “Wes” Swartz, "Bob" Hitchman and many other Mount Pleasant boys to play the fife, was here and blew the leading fife for the Mount Pleasant Drum Corps all through the parade despite his fourscore years. He was the guest of his nephew, John C. Bossart, and the hale old gentleman said he had the time of his life with old Mount Pleasant friends. The members of Robert Warden Post, G. A. R., take this means of expressing their deep sense of gratitude to all those who in any way helped to make the day the marked success it was. Of Interest to Townships. Two bills of special interest to town-ships were approved by Gov. Stuart on last Wednesday. One provides that townships having a population of 300 to the square mile shall be townships of the first class. The other empowers townships of the first class to establish local boards of health, one member of which shall be a physician. These boards are clothed with power, espe-cially where contagious or infectious diseases exist, to establish hospitals. COMERS AND GOERS. Paragraphs About Prominent People Gathered Durlnsrthe Week. Samson Luke, of Donegal, was here Friday and Saturday with old friends. Misses jAlma Seaton, Grace Lohr and Ruth Eicher left Monday for Ligonier to attend summer school. Mrs. Fulkerson and son, of New Cas tie, were here over Sunday with that lady’s brother, L. G. Nail. O. R. Snyder, wife and son, Donald, of Greensburg, spent Memorial Day here with Mr. and Mrs. Nevin A. Cort. Mrs. J. N. Burkholder and two sons, of Latrobe, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Rice B. Freed. George S. Shilling, wife and daughter, Mistress Josephine, of Franklin, spent part of last week with Mount Pleasant relatives. . THE LATE J. SMITH LOBINGIER. Joseph Hixon, of Alverton, hale and hearty at 82, paid this office a pleasant call Monday in company with a pretty Ruffsdale niece. Dr. and Mrs. F. L. Marsh and Dr. W. A. Marsh left Monday for Atlantic City to attend the annual meeting of the Amer-ican Medical Society. Mrs. D. B. Milward and her daughter, Mrs. Lowther, of Brier Hill, Fayette county, were here last week with rela-tives and old friends. Will K. Miller, wife and little son, of York, Pa., surprised that gentleman’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Miller, Sat-urday by dropping in on a visit. Dr. and Mrs. M. W. Horner took in the Jamestown Exposition last week and are now at Atlantic City attending the annual meeting of the American Medi-cal Society. C. S. Overholt, of Philadelphia, and his daughter, Mrs. C. C. Law, of Pitts-burg, were guests of Mr, and Mrs, James S. Braddock on their annual Memorial Day visit to old friends. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Curry, of Maybie, West Virginia, accompanied by Miss Mabel Eieher, of this place, who had been their guest, spent last week here with relatives and old friends. Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Byers left Monday for Chambersburg, Pa., to attend the commencement exercises at Wilson Col-lege, from which their daughter, Miss Nellie, will be graduated today. Mrs. W. P. Harford, of Omaha, Ne-braska, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Res-ler, of Riverside, California, were here over Sunday with relatives and old friends. The ladies are sisters-in-law. County Controller John D. Hitchman, of this place, and Miss Louise Scull will be married Wednesday next at the Som-erset home of the bride-to-be. The wed-ding will be a very quiet affair owing to a recent death in Miss Scull's family. BROUGHT THE ANSWER. How Bert Smith and his Band Serenaded William L. Byers. As W. L. Byers in contributing to the Mount Pleasant Cornet Band on numer-ous occasions had complained to Leader H. N. Smith that he had never heard that organization well, Director Herbert determined to give William the worth of his money a’ ,*je close of the local Memorial Day exercises, and he did, too. Having secured Mrs. Byers's consent, the bond, drums aifd all, filed right in on Mr. Byers at his Main street home and cut loose, Bert’s order being for every fellow to lay himself out for noise. Doors, windows, pictures, in fact, every-thing about the house that wasn’t spiked rattled and there is a lot of plastering all but ruined. William stood the awful din like a man and as the weary musicians march-ed out he slipped a five dollar bill into the waiting hand of “Hermie" who says he will have the band out again when “Bill” gets back from the west, expect-ing a tenner for the welcome home. The regular November election can have no terrors for the Westmoreland voter after his experience at the uniform primaries on Saturday afternoon last. It didn’t snow, but it did do everything else in the way of nasty weather which, with the new act that is a killer on re-peaters, made the vote light. There being no contests in any of the other three parties except for Demo-cratic Poor Directors, possibly, Bierer, Gay and Mullin, the excitement was confined to the G. O. P. ranks. Hitch-man for Controller had easy sailing, just as had Miller for Register of Wills. Shields got there for Sheriff by defeating Steel, thanks to the strenuous efforts put forth in behalf of the New Kensington SIGN OF THE CROSS. Items of Special Interest to Local Church Goers. Rev. R. L. Leatherman, the local Lu-theran pastor, will give an address at the children's services on Sunday next at the Middle Lutheran and Reformed church at 10:30 a. m. and will preach at Ruffs-dale at 2:30 p. m. and in town at 7:30 p. m. There will be divine services at the A. M. E. Zion church Sunday next at 11 a. m. when the pastor, Rev. J. M. Wheel-er, will preach on “Amen." Sunday school will follow at 2:45 p. m.; 3:30 ser-mon by Rev. John W. Skerrett, pastor of the Greensburg A. M. E, Zion church, and a second sermon by the pastor at 8 p. m. In the absence of the pastor, there will be no services at the Church of God next Sabbath. There will be services in the Free Methodist church every evening at 7:45 until the 16th of June. A hearty wel-come is extended to all. Mrs. L. R. Harford, of Omaha, Ne-braska, spoke in the local United Breth-ren church on Sunday evening last. “Loyalty to Christ" was her subject. In her address of three quarters of an hour she gave interesting experiences of her earlier life when her father, Rev. J. B. Resler, was pastor of this church, and brief notes of her life-long devotion to mission work. She is now the honored president of the Woman's Missionary Society of the United Brethren Church. She closed her address with an earnest appeal for the cause she represents. Mrs. Harford is on her way westward, returning from Harrisburg where the Board met in recent session. Her last visit to Mount Pleasant was eight years ago, but she never forgets the scenes of her earlier life. Rev. Dr. A. Lincoln Moore, of New York, will preach in the First Baptist church Sunday morning next. School Directors Reorganize. The old Mount Pleasant Board of Ed-ucation closed up its affairs for the year and went out of business Monday eve-ning when the new board organized by the election of John A. Stevenson presi-dent, J. Z. Fox secretary and Edward Hawkins treasurer. Nevin A. Cort and Avery S. Overholt were appointed a committee to revise the teachers’ salaries which will be advanced. The new high school building project will be settled at a continued meeting of the board to-morrow evening when Attorney Eugene Warden will report on the amount of money available. man at the close of the campaign by ex- Sherift Harry Seanor. The 27 Republi-san candidates for Poor Director had it nip and tuck, the winners being Wolff, Armbrust and Dixon. Republicans had all the fighting to do over in Fayette county, but they did it well. They were liberal, too, if reports are to be accepted in good faith, as it is said they spent all of $100,000 in the selection of their nominees. For Judge, Van Swearingen defeated Reppert by over 900. For Sheriff, Johns pulled in ahead of Kisinger by 1,000, while Hen-derson had 600 over Patterson for Dis-trict Attorney. Dr. Bell was named for Coroner and Barnhart and Shaw for Poor Director. Acting Principal Ealp's Arrangement of the Order of Exercises.

Items of Interest Gathered From Bott Mine and Yard. The employes of the Keystone Coal & Coke Company will hold their fourth annual outing at Oakford park June 19. They expect to break last year's record when the attendance was 3,500. Clark B. Moore has entered suit to re-cover the title to coal land near Arm-brust now held by Lottie Ellis. By recent purchasers from Dr. Richard Shepler, of West Newton, and his broth-er, D. B. Shepler, of Brownsville, Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, of Greensburg, has added 365 acres to her 500 acres of Ros-fraver township coal holdings which, it is said, she will now proceed to develop. She paid $355 an acre for the new field. John Peavaresek, who was badly hurt last October by falling down the shaft at the Lambert coal works in Fayette county, has sued the H. C. Frick Coke Company for $10,000 dameges. The threatened coal strike of the min-ers of the Pittsburg district because of the use of the Pate dumping machine has been averted for at least a month, during which time a board of arbitra-tion will endeavor to settle the dispute. Superintendent R. B. Blackburn on Monday last fired the first ovens for the Northern Connellsville Coke Company at its new Marthabell plant near Greens-burg. DEATHS OF THE WEEK. The Grim Reaper’s Work In ThU Place and Vicinity. Frances Andrews died suddenly Sun-day evening at his College avenue home from a complication of diseases, in his 67th year. He had been feeling unwell for several days, but was able to go to the polls in a carriage the day before and was up and about Sunday morning. After eating his dinner, however, he be-came violently ill and grew worse as the day move on, passing away about 8 o'clock that night. Rev. Howard S. Wilson, pastor of the United Presbyte-rian church, ot which Mr. Andrews was treasurer and a member from young manhood, conducted the funeral services at the house yesterday afternoon, the interment following in the cemetery. Mr. Andrews was a son of Alexander and Rachel Andrews, having been born January 23, 1841, on the old Andrews homestead in Mount Pleasant township, some Z'A miles northeast of town, where he resided until he moved to town in April, 1884. He was married February 19, 1874, to Miss Mary E. Reynolds, a daughter of the late Captain William Reynolds, who survives with his sister, Mrs. David Greenawalt, of West Newton. Near the close of the Civil war he enlisted and served several months as a corporal in Company F, I03rd Regiment, Pennsyl-vania Infantry. His genial manner made him many friends who were shocked at the news of his death. Miss Jennie Hubbs died this morning at the College avenue home of her brother, Capt. U. B. Hubbs, after a short illness of pneumonia. VICTIMTOEMAD DOG. Four West End People go to Pittsburg for Pasteur Treatment. Elmer E. Berg, two of his children and John Leonard, Jr., all of the West End, have during the past week taken the Pasteur treatment in Pittsburg in order to guard against hydrophobia. Young Mr. Leonard and one of the Berg chil-dren were bitten by ahull dog the former owned. Mr. Berg suffered a cut while taking off the head of the animal which died of rabies according fo the report of the Pittsburg experts who examined the head. The other Berg child was scratch-ed by the dog and it was deemed wise to have it treated also. It is said the dog bit a number of ca-nines and there is fear that the disease was thus scattered far and wide. Mayor Crosby was appealed to with a view of establishing a quarantine and he laid the matter before Council Monday night. Colonel Coulter’s Staff. Colonel Richard Coulter, the new com-mander of the Tenth regiment, who is preparing to move his headquarters from Washington to Greensburg, has retained practically all of Colonel Barnett’s offi-cers. The new members are Captain A. W. Powell, commissary, and H. M. Don-aldson, of Greensburg, sergeant major, Battallion Adjutant James Harkins, of this place, who was reappointed, is the oldest first lieutenant in the Guard and the only original member of Company E in the service. On the Local Diamond. The Connellsville Independent base ballists came up here Thursday and lost to the Scholastics in the morning 2 to 4, but gathered in the afternoon argument 7 to 5. Hurst and Hatfield officiated in the morning and McPhail and Hatfield in the afternoon. JURY SUSTAINS LAST TESTAMENT Of JACOB BYERS After a Long Drawn-out Con-test by Collateral Heirs. MARION F. BYERS LEGAL LEGAGEE AS HIS RICH GRAND UNCLE WAS COM-PETENT TO MAKE A WILL. There was, However, Much Conflict-ing Testimony Taken During the Famous Trial, to Say Nothing of the Sensational Statement to the Effect that “Uncle Jake” Some Time Before his Natural Death Feared for his Life at the Hands of Two of his Nephews. Synopsis of the Evidence Offered. The long drawn-out Jacob Byers will contest case ended in the common pleas court of this county Monday evening when the jury found that “Uncle Jake” was mentally competent to leave his hundreds of thousands of dollars to his grand-nephew, Marion Franklin Byers, despite vigorous claims to the contrary made by the collateral heirs. Judge Doty took the question of undue influ-ence from the jury. Much conflicting testimony was taken. It was claimed that for six months preceding his death “Uncle Jake” had lived in terror of hired assassins and that a revolver had been bought for him by the Rev. C. R. Ferner of Scottdale, his attorney-in-fact and executor of his last will. It was also brought out that he had been told two of his nephews had endeavored to poison him. State Senator Elliott Rodgers, of Pitts-burg, who presided over the equity pro-ceedings in the Allegheny county courts, which were instituted to acquire pos-session of $300,000 worth of Mount Pleasant Coke Company bonds which mysteriously disappeared from the safe deposit vaults of a Greensburg bank, was on the witness stand a portion of one day. He testified that in December, 1902, when the case was tried before him and soon after the making of the will, old Mr. Byers did not possess testamen-tary capacity. Other relatives testified to Byers being weak-minded and child-ish, while many other witnesses ex-pressed the opinion that the testator was fully capable of making a will. Rev. Ferner told of his meeting Jacob Byers when lie was pastor of the St. Johns Reformed church and of their business and social relations from that time until Mr. Byers' death in 1905. It appeared from his testimony that the woman who furnished the information that led to the recovery of the bonds in Pittsburg received as her compensation the sum of $20,000. The name of the party who furnished the information was not divulged by the witness. Noth-ing new was derived from Mr. Ferner’s testimony on cross examination except the fact that he received $10,000 from the rich farmer dnring his lifetime and had an arrangement with M. Frank Byers, the legatee, to receive $40,000 in addition thereto for his services. DOG QUARANTINE Established by Council at its Regular Meet-ing Monday Evening. All Mount Pleasapt dogs must either be penned up or muzzled, otherwise they will be shot by the police. This is the substance of the quarantine established lor the town by Council at its regular monthly meeting held Monday evening following the granting of orders to cover May bills. Two ordinances relative to the grant-ing of building permits were passed. The cost of all such privileges will hereafter be $5 instead of 25 cents as heretofore. The laying of new water tables on Spruce street was held up for the present although the brick is on the ground. Business in police circles was light during May as Mayor Crosby’s check for the receipts of his offiee during the past month was for but $105.55. N the people living on paved streets will sweep and pile up the dirt in front of their properties the first Friday of each month, the borough will have it hauled away free of cost. Dr. Yahn Honored. Rev. S. G. Yahn left this morning for Findlay, Ohio, to attend the annual meeting of the Board of Missions of the General Bldership, of which he is the secretary, Findlay College will cele-brate the twenty-fifth anniversary of its incorporation dnring this year’s com-mencement, and Dr. Yahn has been se-lected to deliver the oration. THE MOUNT PLEABANT JOURNAL. THURSSDAY, JUNE 6, 1907 CHANGES AT GREENSBURG That will be Made by the Pennsylva-nia Railroad Company with work Now Under Way. TRACKS MATED AND TUNNEL TORN DDT, That the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will follow practically the same route through Greensburg now in use in the improvement to be made soon in that section has been detinitely determined by the purchase of the property immediately over the tunnel owned bv Mrs. George F. Huff. It is generally understood the main line will use four elevated tracks ad joining and north of the present twin tracks, which will be used by the South-west. Confirmation of this is seen in the laying of a dinkey track along the north side of the railroad from Donahoe to the “Y.” Now that the railroad has purchased the property over the tunnel it w be possible to eliminate the tunnel entirely, make an open cut with elevated through tracks and bridges over Main street and Pennsylvania and Maple avenues. BOWSER GETS MERRY Tries a New Drink With Friend and Comes Home InJoliy Mood. MRS. B. GROWS WF.ATHY. Old Philosopher Talks In Zig Zr.g Fashion In Trying to Explain the Cause of His Unusual Behavior. Finally Falls Asleep on the Floor. [Copyright, 1907, by Homer Sprague.] Six o’clock had come the other even-ing and no Mr. Bowser. It is not once a week that he is a minute over his time, and Mrs. Bowser began to won-der. When fifteen minntes more had passed, she began to get anxious. At half past 6 even the family cat began to get restive, and the cook came up-stairs to say: “I heard a boom, boom awhile ago, ma’am. Do yon think it could have been Mr. Bowser blowing up on a street car?” She was told to keep the dinner warm, and Mrs. Bowser sat down on the front steps to watch and wait. If Mr. Bowser was going to be late he should have telephoned. He carried an Identification ticket, and if he had met with any accident she ought to have HE WALKED TJP TO THE D0G1 AND TURNED IT OVEK ON ITS BACK. been notified before that hour. He had been throwing out mysterious hints of late as to the profits on keep-ing a thousand goats and making cheese, but he would hardly go to look over a flock after 6 o’clock. He had had something to say about balloons, hut it did not seem reasonable that he would select the evening for making an ascension. When 7 o’clock hud ar-rived the cook came up again to say: “I know what’s happened, ma’am, the same as if I hau been there with both eyes wide open.” Cook Was Wise. ‘‘He has probably been detained on business. Some one came into the of-fice Just as he wa? ready to leave for home,” said Mrs. Bowser. ‘‘It’s weeping I am over his sad fate, ma’am, lie was invited by some one to tuke a ride in one o’ them things called an auto. He jumped in. After a bit he wanted to do the steering himself. He took the wheel, and be-fore they had gone a block that auto was trying to climb up the wulls of a fourteen story building. I can shut my eyes and see it as plain ns day. The reason they haven't sent you word is because he was smashed all to a jelly and they cau't tell whether he’s a hag o’ menl or a mau. I knew it would come, ma'am. I’ve been telling you all along it would come.” Mrs. Bowser feared the worst, but wouldn’t admit it, and as a reward Mr. Bowser hove in sight at 8 o’clock. He came along down from the car with an important air, and he waved his hand to her while yet half a block away. He was not only in good spir-its, hut he was a bit hilarious. This was further shown when he turned in at the gate. One of the ornaments of the front yard is a stone dog. He walk up to the dog and turned it on its back and slapped his leg in laughter. “Mr. Bowser, what does this mean?” aUe demanded as he came UD the steus. “Come in ’er house, and I’ll tell you all about it,” he said as he passed in. It was a cold, deadly fact that he was “sprung.” His looks, his gait, his actions all showed it. It was the first time since he had joined the Gay Old Boys’ club, months before. “How dare you, sir—how dare you come home in this condition?” she ask cd as she followed him in and stood before him as he sat down in a rocking rhair. “Hole on, Mrsh. Bowsher—hole on Ininit,” he replied. “You speak ’bout my coudislnm. Does it slieem to you as if I had taken n glass too much’ “A barrel too much, Mr. Bowser. You are certainly intoxicated. Think of a man of your age and standing coming home in this condition!” “All wrong, Mrsh. Bowsher—all wrong. No condlshun here. I am as shober as a Judge on ’er bench. Sit down and let me tell you all about it, Thas right—sit down. Never like to shoe a lady stand lip on a street car. Always willin’ to give up my sheet to her.” "Very well. Now, go anead, sir, and explain matters.” Begins to Explain. “It was zhis way, Mrsh. Bowsher. 1 was lockin’ up office door to come home when Brown came along. You know Brown—man with cock eye and red hair. Brown’s good feller—good feller. He borrows money of me and don’t pay it back, hut lie’s a good feller for all zhat” “Never mind about Brown.” “I have to, ’cause he’s good feller you kuow. Well, Brown says the gov ernor is over to the Gay house and wants to see me—wants to see Samuel Bowsher—wants to meet great man. Nothing wrong about that, eh? All ’er great men in ’er country like to meet me, don’t they?” “Go on,” said Mrs. BoWser. “I didn’t want to go. I’d rather come home and meet you. I knew you'd worry if I didn’t come home at shix o’clock. Brown’s a good feller, and the governor’s good feller, but you are better feller. Shake hands, Mrsh. Bowsher.” “Never you mind about shaking hands. Did you go to see the govern-or?” “Yesh. Had to do it. Brown said it would hurt his feelings if I didn’t do it. Yosh, went to shee ’er governor. You can’t think how glad lie was. Skaid he’d been wanting to shee me for 400 years. Shook hands. Patted me on the hack. Almost kissed me. Mighty good feller—mighty good feller.” “Well?” “Well, we shat down. Mebbe I shat on governor’s knee—maybe he shat on mine. We talked. Never talked slio much in my life. He told me funny stories, and I told him 'er same. Shay, but you orter heard us laughin’. Never laughed so much in a hundred years! Governor laughed Just 'er shame.” “And was he also intoxicated?” asked Mrs. Bowser. “Intox’cated? Whazzer mean? No-body was intox’cated. It was just hi-larity. Do you think ’er governor of zhis great state would get intox’cated? Do you think Samuel Bowsher, your husbuud, would get intox’cated? Shake hands wiz me, Mrsh. Bowsher, and tell me you don’t think so.” “But you had something to drink?” “Course we had. Can’t go to shee ’er governor and not have something to drink. After we first shook hands 1 asked him what he’d take. He shaid a glass of buttermilk wiz a cinder in it, and I said I’d take ’er shame.” “What do you mean by a cinder?” “Dunno. Zhat's what ’er boys call it. Makes you laugh. If your mother was dead and you drank glass of but-termilk wiz cinder in it, you’d laugh and kick up your heels. Thas all we had, Mrsh. Bowsher—buttermilk and cinders. Shake hands and tell me zhat you love me.” “Never! Mr. Bowser, you have dis-graced us. Even the cat is ashamed of you.” “Don’t talk zhat way, Mrsh. Bowsher —don’t do it. Can’t ’er feller go and shee 'er governor without disgracing his wife and cat? Course he can. Shay, you just orter heard my speech. Governor wouldn’t let me off wizout cite. Shaid he was Just dyin’ to hear old Cicero. Zhat’s what he called me— old Cicero. I am a shy mau, Mrsh. Bowsher, but after awhile I stood up like zhis and held out my arm like zhis, and”— *nd Mr. Bowser sat down on the floor and winked and blinked in an owly way as Mrs. Bowser looked at him. After a couple of minutes he went on: Offers His Hand. “I stood up like zhis and made 'er speech. You orter heard zhat speech. It lnsted an hour. It made 'er govern-or laugh, aud it made hlmv cry. It will all be in ’er papers in ’er morning, and I want to cut it out and paste it in a scrapbook. You could hear 'er governor laugh all over town, and when he cried the tears just rolled dowu his cheeks In streams. You ain’t mad, are you? You feel proud of your husband, don’t you? Mrsh. Bowsher, shake hands and tell me zhat you are proud of your husband.” Mrs. Bowser sat stiffly aud hadn't a word to say. “Zhen ’er gov'nor made a speech,” resumed the man on the floor in a sleepy voice. “Yesh, he made speech, but nozzings like my speech. No lavfehln’, no weepin’—Just common speech 'bout ’er Pnnnmnw canal. Zhon we kissed each other, and I came home to tell you nil ’bout it—a-1-1 ’bout it. Mrsh.

It is estimated by the department of agriculture that last year’s crop was produced and garnered at a saving of $687r ), ’) over what would have been the co t of raising an equal crop 50 years ago. This saving was ac-complished by the use of modern ag ricultural implements.—Farm Ma-chinery. Direct Light Cheapest. Reflected light is wasteful. In a recent test by Dr. Reibmayr both elec-tric glow lamps and incandescent gas burners were used, and when the light waB directed to the ceiling and reflect-ed the ilium lation was 31 per cent, less than when directed downward from close to the ceiling. Brick House Most Lasting. A stone house is not so durable as one of brick. A bric^ house, well con structed, will outlast one built granite. Lots of men, in buying clothes, are not half particular enough about quality; they’ll buy almost anything that looks stylish, and fits; espe-cially if the price is low. We hope right way It’s the wrong way to buy clothes, you don’t buy yours that way. The is to be sure first of the quality you’re getting. “Is it all wool? Is it well tailored?” A price means nothing unless you know what you’re get-ting for it. In this store we want you to know what you’re getting for your money; we’re not afraid to tell you, either. Ask if the goods are all wool; ask if they’re tailored right; ask about style, wear; try the clothes on. But it you see the Hart, Schaffner & Marx label in the clothes, just consider it an answer to your questions; all-wool; clean, honest tailoring; correct style, best wear. The price will be right.

SUPPLYISFOR PITTSBURG'S CONSUMPTION The Philadelphia Gas Company has just brought in a big gas well on le farm of Henry Coy, Washington township, this county, which adjoins he R. R. McQuilken farm where the first well of the company was struck in the lower sands. Thus far the drillers have been unable to control the flow of gas on the Coy farm, and the roar of the escaping gas can be heard for miles. In bringing in the well on the McKown farm the drillers lost their tools. Tackle has been brought from Pittsburg and the tools will be extricated from the well. Both wells will furnish a big supply of gas for Pittsburg consumers. ON A BURGLAR'S LAP, Girl Sits on Robber's Knee While Comrades Loot Her House. NOT OF HER OWN FREE WILL ^|ad Mar, Took Her Out of Bed and (Held Her to Keep Her Still—Midnight Marauders Made a Good Haul and filed. Miss Sadie Serotta was dreaming in her parents’ home, 50 Canal street, Woodhaven, Queens borough, New York city, at 2 o’clock in the morning. Miss Sadie, who is fifteen, opened her big black eyes to see, sleepily, a mask-ed man leaning over her. Two other fellows, masked, were in her chaste bedchamber. They had lighted the gas. "Now, don’t make a noise,” whisper-ed the man at her bed. “We are not going to hurt you. We only want to know where your dad keeps his mon-ey.” Miss Sadie, thoroughly awake, her fine eyes staring, opened her mouth to Shriek. I “If you do”—the burglar thrust a pis-tol muzzle in her face. His compan-ions tiptoed from the room. "I’ll take care of you,” said Miss Sa-die’s burglar, lifting her from bed. ”i WON’T HUBT yon.’ lapse, some time ago Joe Evans as-cended the gallows to pay the penalty for having attacked the wife of his brother and then killing the brother when the crime was discovered. Evans was the first man to be hang-ed in Greenwood county, and it was the first execution in which Sheriff Mc- Caslln had ever taken part. lie had dreaded the idea of hanging the negro, and Immediately after the murderer was pronounced dead he went to his bed and never left it. The horror of taking human life, even though it was in legal form, Beein-ed to prey upon the mind of the officer to such an extent that the doctors could give no relief to his suffering mind and body. INCASED IN LICORICE. Man Falls Into Boiling Fluid and Comes Put With a Shell. While at work over a tub of boiling licorice at Abiugton avenue and T liirU street, Newark, N. J., John Eujeck, aged eighteen years, fainted and tell partly into the huge caldron. Hyv'as lifted out by means of a bucki. at-tached to a crane terribly burned and unconscious. While waiting for the ambulance his fellow workmen held Enjeck under a stream of cold water, thinking they could wash off the sticky, scalding fluid. But the water only served to harden the licorice so that it literally incased the suffering man In a shell. Then they tried to pick off the shell, but each piece brought the skin with it. At the hospital a chemical solu-tion was used to dissolve the licorice. It was said the young man might re-cover. REVIVED AFTER HANGING. Condemned Negro Now Free, and the Law Can’t Touch Him. Reports received at Fort Worth, Tex., from trainmen and passengers on the Southern Pacific state that John Arm-strong, a negro hanged at Columbus, Tex., Friday, April 19, for wife mur-der, revived after being placed in the coffin and when given to his brother at Sealey for burial was given medical attention. It is declared that Armstrong is now living and that friends and relatives are keeping the matter quiet, fearing the state will again step in. If Armstrong is living he will be the only living man who has paid rhe death penalty. The fact that he was pro-nounced dend at the hanging renders the state powerless to again enforce the death penalty. Black Cat Breaks Up Happy Home. A black cat has been the means of Only the threatening pistol held Miss Sadie from screaming. The burglar, carrying her as if she were a baby, walked to the nearest chair, seated himself and put her on his knee. “Now, you're perfectly safe if you beep quiet,” he said, reassuringly. “I won’t hurt yon.” Sadie, trembling, remained silent. As It turned out. the rascal’s companions went through most of the house, gath-ered money, checks. Jewelry and silver-ware, finally entering the room where Charles Colon, a druggist, Sadie’s cous-in, her father’s guest, was sleeping. One held u dagger at Colen’s throat: the other took a belt and Buspenders from Colen’s trousers, tied his ankles with tlie suspenders, bound his arms to his sides with the belt, gagged him and rifled his pockets. Hut the gag was not fast. Colen found his voice and yelled. Sadie picked up courage to scream. Her fa-ther, Morris, awakened nnd ran into her room. The burglar threw her from him, jumped to his feet and fired at Serotta, who fell with a bullet In his arm. "That wasn’t a nice way to behave,” said the burglar reproachfully to Sa-die, as he jumped over the prostrate father and ran after his fleeing com-panions. “Didn’t I tell you I wouldn’t harm you?” The three got clean away with their booty. Serotta’s wound is more pain-ful than serious. He is a thriving butcher and has stopped payment on e stolen checks. / HANGING KILLS SHERIFF. Official Dies of Horror After Executing a Negro. Out of his mind nnd raving about the hanging of a negro, Sheriff R. F. Mc- Caslin of Greenwood county died in Greenville. S. C., from physical col-breaking up the household of Consta-ble James Harvey Mullins of Hartford City, Ind., and a divorce has been granted the husband because his wife persisted in taking the animal to bed with her. The plaintiff alleged that he would not have objected so much if the cat had stayed on her mistress’ side of the bed Instead of playing with his feet and causing him to spend many restless nights. Mullins testified that he stood the torture ns long as possi-ble. Then he captured pussy nnd took her to the river and drowned her. His wife, he says, became furious upon learning of the loss of her pet and was truel and inhuman toward him. Final-ly they agreed to disagree and divided their furniture. Undressed by Machinery. Charles Mallory, who is employed In the Indiann Oil company’s refinery in Georgetown, Ky., had as narrow an escape from death a few days ago as was ever allowed a man. Mallory’s clothing WHS caught by a big shaft revolving at the rate of 240 times a minute, and he was whirled around until stripped of every vestige of cloth-ing except his shoes and socks and came out of the experience only slight-ly injured. Wade Smith, hearing Mal-lory's screams, had stopped the ma-chinery. With remarkable presence of mind Mallory clung to an iron beam until he could be lifted from his peril-ous position. His fearful flight around the shaft had" been taken witbin a few Inches of the roof. Pleasant for Auntie.

THE DOG QUARANTINE. The mad dog trouble has been brought home to Mount Pleasant; four victims have had to .go to Pittsburg for the ex-pensive Pasteur treatment, and Council has very ^wisely ordered a quarantine, directing the police to kill all unmuz-zled dogs running at large within the borough limits. Owners who prize their dogs will promptly see that their pets are afforded proper legal protection; for, a richly merited death awaits all un-muzzled canines running at large. It is also well to remember at this time the havoc one First ward bull dog caused before he died of the terrible disease. He had four human victims and single admission to the Pasteur In-stitute costs $125. Then there is grave danger of other dogs bitten by the Leon-ard dog going mad and thus multiply-ing the number of victims, human as well as brute, many times. Have some fellow feeling for the po-lice, too. They have no desire to incur your enmity by shooting your dog, should they catch him without a muz-zle. It is their duty to do so, and every right-minded citizen trusts that they will carry out their orders to the letter. LONGER LIFE PROMISED. Chief Chemist Wiley, of the United States Dapartment of Agriculture, in the course of an address, delivered before the graduating class of Case School of Applied Science at Cleveland, Ohio, last Wednesday, said: “I belong to a hundred-year club, any member of which who shall die before he’s a hundred years old will be imme-diately expelled in disgrace. The present generation is going to live much longer than the one which came before, because it knows more about the laws of diet, hygiene and surgery.” Mr. Wiley holds that it is a rank dis-grace for any member to die except of old age, and is doubtless right when he says that in view of longevity, if noth-ing more, a man should not think that he is taking too much time in prepara-tion for his life work if he should spend a score or more years iust in schooling. advanced ground than did Secretary of State Root, who announced at the Penn-sylvania Society dinner in New York last December that if the States fail to ► exercise their power of control then the National Government will be vested with the power. Mr. Roosevelt advocates the placing of railroads in the same position as that now occupied by national banks, super-vising the issuance of all railroad stocks in the future. When the privilege en-joyed by the railroads are given fair consideration, there remains no good reason why some such government su-pervision as the President stands for should not follow as the natural conse-quence. We’re Free Now. Pittsburg; Dispatch. A Chicago paper describes the people of Pennsylvania as “the obedient serfs of railroad magnates.” Chicago's stand-ard of purity and patriotism, of course, entitles it to throw stones.

If the choice de-pended upon the question of avoirdu-pois, Sullivan would win himself, for he weighs three hundred and thirty pounds, and Taft only two hundred and eighty. A GOOD BEGINNING. Convicted on 33 counts for making al-leged false entries in books of the En-terprise National Bank of Allegheny, Thomas W. Harvey, former teller of the institution, faces a maximum penalty of 330 years in prison, 10 years on each count. The minimum penalty, if every count is included in the sentence, will be 165 years. It will be possible, however, to give him five years on one count, the minimum penalty, and suspend sentence with respect to the others. This was the first criminal case tried in the Allegheny county criminal court in connection with the failure of the En-terprise bank for over $2,000,000. Sev-eral other criminal trials will follow and 75 civil suits have been started by Thomas Rinaker, receiver of the defunct institution. And no matter what the sentence of ex-Teller Harvey may be, his conviction is a good start on the road to punishment for a lot of mighty crook-ed bank officials, RAILROAD REGULATION. President Roosevelt's views on rail-road regulation were clearly set forth by him at Indianapolis, Indiana, on Memo-rial Day in the course of his address in-cidental to the unveiling of the statue to General Henry W. Lawton. In opening his speech the President paid a glowing tribute to the patriotism of soldiers who have died for their country. This done, he launched boldly on the railroad question and when he had concluded there remained in the minds of his hearers no doubts as to the President’s position. He stands firmly on what has been d^ne by his adminis-tration and marks out further advance. The President took a very much more The Corey Hoodoo. ['ntoniown News-Standard.

Charleroi Citizens Begin Injunction Proceedings Against West Penn Electric Company. THE NEW PLANT IS LOMIH THAT TOWN. L)r. James B. Barth and Della F. Campbell, of Charleroi, have begun injunction proceedings against the West Penn Electric Company to restrain it from operating its plant at the corner of Washington avenue and Sixth street, in that town, on the ground that the noise and vibration in a thickly popu-lated residence district are a nuisance. The company recently decided to remove its power house at Speers, op-posite Bellevernon, and had equipped the one at Charleroi it is now desired to put out of business, adding much new machinery. This will be used for sup-plying current in the towns in the Upper Monongahela Valley supplied with electric current by the West Penn. The reason for the removal was to get on ground not overflowed in high water. Ultimately there will be a complete circuit in connection with the big power station at New Haven, traversing the Youghiogheny and Monongahela Valleys. C-hlna'a Code.

It was notably peculiar In cer-tain of its aspects. The weather was cold and showery, a typical day of the March equinox. Under such conditions barometric pressure remains fixed rath-er than variable, yet many whose busi-ness or hobby it Is to record such facts observed a rapid slirlukage of the mer-cury column between the hours of 0 and 7. A deluge of rain fell for many minutes aud was followed about 7:30 p. m. by a mnd turmoil of thunder and an asioundTng electrical display not often witnessed beyond the coniines of the giant mountnln ranges of the world. So violent and unnerving was the outburst that the soeinl life of Lou-don wns paralyzed for the hour. Tlie-nter parties, diners In the fushlonnble restaurants, the greater millions anx-ious to get away from odices and shops, those enger nllke to enter and leave the charmed circle of the four mile ra-dius, were ruthlessly bidden to wait while the awesome forces of nature made mnd racket In the streets. All horseflesh wns afraid. The drivers of cabs and omnibuses were unable to make progress. They had suiliclent ado to restrain their maddened ani-mals from adding the lmvoc of blind charges through the streets to the gen-eral confusion caused by the warring elements. Telegraph and telephone W'ires became not only useless, but dangerous, and the suburban train service wns consequently plunged into a tangle from which it was not extri-cated until midnight. So general was the confusion, so widespread the public alarm, that the sudden cessation of the uproar at 8 o’clock caused more prayers of thank-fulness to be uttered In the metropolis A boy ran forward to offer his services at the carriage door. than had been heard for mrihy a day. But worse remained. Thus far the lightning had been appalling, brilliant-ly lurid, but harmless. At 10 o’clock the storm raged again, this time with-out the preliminary downfnll of rain, and the lightning, though less sen-sational In appearance, was demoniac in effect, levying a toll on human lives, causing fires and general damage to property, accounts of which filled many columns of the newspapers next morning. This second outburst was succeeded by heavy and continuous rain. At the hour when the theaters emptied their diminishing audiences into the streets London wore its nor-mal rain sodden aspect It was not until the following day that people fully understood the magnitude and terrifying results of the later display. About a quarter to 8, while the first storm was at its height, a carriage and pair dashed into a fashionable West End square aud pulled up outside a mansion cast in the stereotyped mold of the early Victorian period. The horses, overfed and underworked, had been rendered frantic by the drive through the park from the farther west. Fortunately, they knew this halting place, or. the coachman would never have succeeded in stopping them. As it was, they sweated white with fear, and the footman, shouting to the occupants of the carriage that he could not attend to the door, ran to their heads after giving a vigorous ■tug at the house bell, A boy, tall and thin, and scantily at-tired for such weather, who had taken shelter in the dark portico of the man-sion, ran forward to offer his services at the carriage door. A bundle of evening papers, covered with a piece of sacking, somewhat Impeded the use of his left hand, and, as it happened, in his right he held a large bun on which he had just commenced to dine. Before he could turn the handle the carriage door opened from the Inside. A man sprang out. “Get out of the way,” lie said im-patiently, and the newsboy obeyed, glad that he had not followed his first impulse and flung away the bun. A vivid flash df lightning made the horses rear and plunge. “Look sharp, Elf!” cried the stranger In no more eqrdial tone. "Gather your wraps and Jump out. On a night like this these nervous brutes”— A peal of thunder that rattled the windows Interrupted him. The two animals reared and backed with oile accord. The plucky footman, hanging on to the crossbars of the lilts, was lifted off his feet and banged violently against the pole. lie was forced to let go and fell, staggering backward some yards before lie dropped. There was a smash of iron and wood, and the near hind wheel of the carriage jam-med against the curb. A slight scream came from the interior. Certain that the vehicle would turn over instantly, the man who had alighted slammed the door and sprang clear. In doing so he tripped over the newsboy and fell heavily on the pavement. The boy, quicker to note that the breaking of the pole had given a momentary res-pite, rushed into the roadway, throw-ing away both precious bun and still more precious stock of unsold pnpers. He wrenched the other door open and shouted: “This way, madam. Quick!” “Madam” was quick. She sprang right into his arms and proved to be a girl of twelve or thereabouts, dressed all In white and wrapped hi an ermine clonk. Over went the carriage with a fear-ful crash. The coachman managed to jump from the box into the roadway. He retained the reins and whip in his grasp and now, losing his temper, lash-ed the struggling horses savagely. This cowed them, and they ceased their an-tics. The boy and the girl found them-selves standing on the sidewalk close to the ruined vehicle. “You have saved my life!” said the girl sweetly and without any trace of the nervousness which might naturally be expected after such a narrow escape from a serious accident. The boy noted that her eyes were large and blue, that she wore a great shining ornament In her hair and that she appeared to be dressed In some-what fanciful manner, though the big clonk she wore concealed the details. The door of the mansion opened, and servants came running out. Suddenly the boy received a violent blow on tlie side of the head. “Confound yon!” shouted the man who had fallen on the pavement, "why didn’t you get out of the way when I told you?” The boy, nstounded by such recog-nition of his timely help, made no re-ply, but the girl protested vehemently. “Oh, uncle,” she cried, “why did you strike him? He got 1110 out of the carriage just before it turned over. He did, indeed!” Another vivid flash of lightning Il-lumined the scene. It lit up the group with startling brilliancy. The boy, still somewhat shaken by the vicious blow, was nevertheless aide to see clearly the pale, handsome, but dissi-pated features of his enraged assail-ant. whose evening dress and Immacu-late linen were soiled by the black mud of the pavement. The girl, dainty and fairy like, a little maid of aristo-cratic type, and of a beauty that prom-ised much in later years, was distress-ed now and almost tearful. Through the crowd of frightened servnnts, augmented by n few daring pedestrians, a burly policeman, gi-gantic in waterproof overalls, was ad-vancing with ofticlnl bluster. “What has happened?” he demand-ed. “Is anybody hurt?” The man answered: “My horses were startled by the storm. I jumped out and wns en-deavoring to extricate my niece when this wretched boy got in the wTay.” “Uncle,” protested the girl, “you closed the door on me, and the boy”— “Shut up!” he growled curtly. “Go inside the house!” But his niece shared with him at least one characteristic. She possessed the family temper. “I will not go away and let you say things which are not true. Listen to me, Mr. Policeman. Lord A'anstone did close the door because he thought the carriage would turn over on top of him. For some reason the accident did not happen Immediately, and the boy ran round to the other side and helped me out just in time.” “Confound the brat! I think he was the real cause of the whole affair. Why was he hiding in my doorway?” Lord Vanstone was more enraged than ever by the girl’s obstinate de-fense of her rescuer and her insistence on his own seeming cowardice. “I was not hiding. I only took shel-ter from the storm. I tried to help you because the footman was struggling with the horses. I do not claim any credit for simply opening a door and helping the young lady to alight, but I lost both my dinner and my papers in doing so.” Every one experienced a shock of surprise at hearing the boy's elegant diction. The policeman was puzzled. He instantly understood the facts, but dared not browbeat an earl. “You do not bring any charge against him. my lord?” he said. But his lordship deigned no reply. He told the coachman to arrange for THEY MUST SETTLE UP. State Supreme Court Decisions That Mean Vast Sum for Policy Hold-ers in Fayette County. THE VERDICTS OF LOWIB COURT AFFIRMED. Decisions of the State Supreme Court on Tuesday last hand a hard blow to some insurance companies doing business in Fayette county and direct that they turn over about $137 500 to policy holders there. The Broad Ford in-surance cases against about 31 companies, resulting in verdicts in the local courts aggregating $99 284, were affirmed. In the cases of D. J. Johnson against insurance companies for policies on the Exchange hotel, Uniontown, the decisions are all in favor of the policy holders and aggregate about $37,500. The cases of H. C. Frick and others, known as A. Overholt & Com-pany, grew out of the burning of the Broad Ford distillery in 1905, when more than 14,000 barrels of whiskey were destroyed. Suits were originally entered on 60 policies, representing 31 companies, for a total of $167,000. Nineteen cases were settled before reaching the jury and in the remaining 41 verdicts were returned tor the plaintiffs. removal of the carriage, grasped Ills niece by tlie arm and led ber, still protesting, Into the bouse. The policeman saw the bundle of papers scattered over the roadway and near them the partly eaten bun. After a wrench at his garments he produced a penny. “Here,” he said to the boy. “Buy another bun and be off. It’s a good job for yon the young lady spoke up the way she did.” “She merely told the truth. That man wns a liar.” Refusing the proffered penny, the lv>y turned on his heel. The policeman looked after him. “That’s a queer kid,” he thought. “Talked like q regular young gent. I wonder why he is selling papers. Poor lad! He lost a bob’s worth at least, and small thanks he got for it.” Passing out of the square by the first eastward street, Philip Anson, witli his head erect and hands clinched in bis pockets, strode onward at a rapid pace. The lightning wns less frequent now, nnd the thunder was dying away in sullen rumblings. He was -wet nnd hungry, yet, although he had throe halfpence, the remaining balance of the only sales effected that evening, he passed many shops where he could have bought food. In Piccadilly, where the cessation of the storm created a rush of traffic, he was nenrl.v run over by reason of his own carelessness and received a slash from a whip, accompanied by a loud oath from an angry cabman. He shiv-ered, but never even looked around. Crossing Trafalgar square, he plunged through the vortex of vehicles without troubling to avoid them in the slight-est degree. Once the hot breath of a pair of van horses touched his cheek while a speechless driver pulled them bnck onto their haunches. Again, the off wheel of an omnibus actually grazed his heel as he sped behind the statue of Charles I. At last he reached the comparative seclusion of the Embankment and stood for a moment to gaze fixedly at the swirling, glinting river. “Not here,” he muttered aloud. “I must be nearer to mother—dear old mother! She is there waiting for me.” He trudged steadily away through Queen Victoria street, Cornhill, I.ead-enhall street, and so on to Johnson’s Mews, in the Mile End road. Pausing at a marine store dealer’s shop kept by an army pensioner, an Irishman, with whom he had a slight acquaint-ance, he entered. An elderly man was laboriously reading a paper of the pre-ceding day’s date. “Good evening, Mr. O'Brien,” he said. “Can you oblige me with a piece of rope? I want a strong piece about three or four yards in length. I enn only spare three halfpence.” “Falx, I dunno. They use nails on the crates mostly nowadays. If I have a bit it’s at yer sarvice. I wouldn’t bo nfther chargin’ the likes o’ you.” Philip’s story was known in that humble locality, and the old soldier sympathized with the boy. “He has rale spunk an’ no mistake,” was his verdict when others said Philip was proud and overbearing. O'Brien mov-ed rheumatically about the squalid shop. At last he found some portion of a clothesline. . “Will that do?” he inquired. Philip tasted it with vigorous pull-ing against his knee. “Excellently,” he said. “Let me pay you for it.” “Arrah, go awny wid ye! And, be the powers, isn’t the poor lad cowld an’ famished? Luke here, now. In five minutes I’m goin’ to have a cup o’ tny.” “I am awfully obliged to you, but 1 could not touch a morsel. I am in a hurry.” “Are ye goin’ a journey? Have ye got a job?” “I think so. It looks like a perma-nency. Goodby.” “Goodby, an’ good luck to ye. Sure the boy looks mighty quare. ’Tis grief for his mother has turned his head en-tirely.” No words could more clearly express Philip’s condition than this friendly summing up. Since his mother’s burial he had been half demented. Ilis curt, disconnected answers had lost him two places as an errand boy, which he could easily have secured. H1B small stock of money, ridiculously depleted by the generosity with which lie met the open hints of the undertaker’s as-sistants, barely sufficed to keep him in fowl for a week. Then he sought em-ployment, but with such stiff upper lip and haughty Indifference to success that he unknowingly turned those against him who would have assisted him.

Lite seems a terrible thing to them. They seldom smile.' Something dreadful is going to happen, nothing is ever just right, and (hey worry and fret and complain from morning till night. Their trouble seerns to be just a bad disposition but this is seldom so. In most cases there is ono of two things the matter with them; either their nerves or their digestion is responsible. Both come from the same thing—stomach trouble. A men or woman whose nerves are tied in knots is bound to be mighty poor company. The same thing is true if what they eat don’t digest properly. No wonder they grumble, I don’t blame them. 1 have seen Cooper’s New Discovery change the whole disposition of people in a month’s time simply by getting their stomach in shape again. Even the ex-pression on their faces was altogether different. The worried, tired, fretful look changed to a peaceful happy expression, and the lines ofcare disappeared altogether. Many people tell me about this in letters. They seem to think it a miracle. Itis’at. It’s just the stomach working again. Here’s a oase of thia kind: “I •differed with my stomach for thirteen years. Nothing I ate seemed to digest. I also had chronic constipation, and was tired, dull, irritable and despondent all the time. I found it difficult to attend to my duties as trac’ion agent at this place.’’ ‘‘Six different doctors treated me and ail gave different opinions.” ‘‘I began taking Cooper’s New Discov-ery, and to my surprise it helped me from the first. I have gained ten pounds in three weeks and am feeling fine. My work now is a pleasure, where before it was drudgery.” J. R. Smock, Cicero, Indiana. We sell the Cooper medicines, H. F. Barkley. J. W.
