ft SJLI: THAT
LOOKED fIRST
CUSS ON PAPER
Although It Won't Pan out as
Many Might Expect
THE HOSEDALE FLATS IN PITTSBURG
FINALLY DISP08ED OF BY LOCAL BANK
RECEIVER.
The Apartments Were Taken Some
Years Ago by the Now Defunct Far-mers
and Merchants National Bank
of Mount Pleasant as Security for a
Poor Loan and, Alter Two Futile
Attempts at Public Outcry, Mr.
Murray Closes a Deal That Lots
the Bank Out With a Loss of Only
Twenty five Thousand Dollars.
A simple statement, as published in
the Pittsburg papers T hursday, to the
ellect that IT. G. Murray, as receiver
for the Farmers and Merchants Natio-nal
Bank of Mount Pleasant, had dis-posed
of the Rosedale liats in Brush-ton,
through a city real estate dealer,
for $5o,ooo, would doubtless he mis-leading
to many of the creditors of
•that defunct institution without a few
words of explanation.
Some years ago the hank, in flic course
of its business career, loaned some money
to a Pittsburg firm of contractors and
was eventually forced to take a mort-gage
on the fiats, in which it had invest-ed
at the time its doors were closed
about $40,000. W. L. Byers, of this place,
as trustee, had a prior claim on the
buildings for $13,500 and the Sankey
estate had another for $20,000, the bank’s
mortgage coming in really third, being
carried in the name of its cashier, C. E.
Mullin, who turned the security over to
Receiver Murray only a few monthsago.
On an order from the United States
District Court, aud after being thor-oughly
advertised, Mr. Murray offered
the property at public sale on June 15th
last and continued the sale until July
2nd, as the highest bid made was $11,000
in addition to the $33,500 atiead of the
bank's claim. On July 2nd there was
but one bidder present and his ofter of
$10,100 besides assuming the mortgages
already referred to was refused by Mr.
Murray who might have let the property
go and thus saved himself all further
worry on that score. But, he wasn’t
satisfied and next turned to a real estate
party and got nearly $5,000 more for the
bank's creditors whose representative
he is.
The real estate man’s ofter as accepted
was $48,500, which will net the bank
$15,000, and of that sum $5,000 is cash
and $10,000 is payable in six months
from day of sale, leaving the bank’s loss
oil the loan about $25,000.
At the time the bank took the mort-gage
the security was deemed good as
the flats brought in handsome sums in
the way of rents; but, they have since
run down and are today in need of re-pairs
and are hard to rent. One reason
for tliis change is said to be found in
the action of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in having abandoned its nearby
station at Brushton. The flats are four
in number, each three stories and each
containing six suites of six rooms and a
jbath. The purchaser is J. Z. Levy, of
Pittsburg.

TWO SLY YOUNG MARRIED MEN CAUGHT
The Wife of One, Her Father and a Policeman Find Them
Passing Themselves off as Single on
Two Local Ladies.
TWO APPLICATIONS LOR DIVORCE TO f01 LOW.
W. G. Johnson, of the West Side, Connellsville, and E. S. Beckner, of
Uniontown, both young married men and commercial travelers, were caught
here late Sunday night by the latter’s wife while calling upon two ladies upon
whom they are said to have passed themselves off as single.
Miss Grace Jordan 111.
Miss Grace Jordan suffered a severe at-tack
of intercostal neuralgia Tuesday
night. Her condition was somewhat im-proved
this morning.
Tales of gayefy had by Messrs. John-son
and Beckner while away on their
trips had reached their wives frequently,
but it was not until last Tuesday week
that Mrs Beckner and her father, Super-intendent
John Bitz, the well known coke
maker, began to investigate. They then
came here and placed the matter in the
hands of Chief of Police Perry Keller
who went to work quietly on the case
and wasn't long delivering the goods.
The two local ladies went over to Con-nellsville
Sunday forenoon and were
met there by Johnson and Beckner, but
the latter disappeared when he happen-ed
to see Mrs. Beckner in company with
Chief Keller who dropped down to the
Yough metropolis on the same car.
In no way discouraged at having flush-ed
the little social gathering, the chief
had Mrs. Beckner and father come over
here in the evening and await develop-ments
at this end of the line. The frio
called at the ladies’ homeafter 11 o’clock
that night and found the two pairs en-joying
themselves socially, although the
men were very much taken back when
compelled to explain that both were
married. The ladies said that they had
been deceived. One of them, however,
was unable to give a very satisfactory
answer when asked by Chief Keller how
she and one of the men came to register
recently as man and wife af the Kromer
House, Scottdale.
The meeting otherwise was as quiet as
Mary’s little lamb, the chief and his
party leaving as they had secured all the
evidence they sought. Mrs. Beckner will
apply for a divorce just as it is said Mrs.
Johnson's intention is, both applying to
the Fayette county courts.
SABBATH DESECRATION
Which an Observer Sees Here and Wants to
Have Stopped.
MR. EDITOR.—In passing along one of
our streets on Sabbath morning last my
attention was directed to a store, whose
proprietor is not an American, doing a
rushing.business in selling ice cream
cones, candy, and anything else he had
for sale to men, women snd children,
principally boys and girls who were
spending the money given them for
church and Sunday school by their
parents.
Is it possible the good citizens of this
town will permit the laws of onr state,
which protect our Sabbath, to be tram-pled
under by people of this class ?
Where is our honorable mayor and po-lice,
our constables who are sworn to
enforce the laws of this commonwealth?
The state constabulary stepped into
our town a year or more ago and stopped
this very kind of Sunday selling. But
it should not be necessary for them to
enforce the laws in our town. We have
officers chosen and elected by the peo-ple
for this purpose. A word from them
would be all that is necessary.
I hope our good mayor will see that
places of this kind are closed as they
should be on the Sabbath day.

Naomi Coal Company against Mrs. Eliz-abeth
Moore, of Greensburg, for the pur-pose
of restraining tier from interfering
with the mining of coal leased by the
defendant to the plaintiff company. The

and unnecessary waste of coal in a plot
leased fo the Naomi Coal Company from
Mrs. Moore. The witnesses inspected
the mine Saturday.
A new Greensburg company has taken
options on a 1,000-acre field of coal in

GOOSE BUTTS, ENGLAND, JULY 13, 1909.
EDITOR JOURNAL::—I landed in Queens-town,
Ireland, on Monday, July 5th, af-ter
a pleasant voyage of five days from
New York. Queenstown, though not
very large, is very clean and pleasant.
Streets' are well paved and clean, and
not a pole nor foreigner of any descrip-tion
to be seen, nothing but the real
Irish, Almost every man one meets had
a stick either under his arm or in his
fist. They are very kind people. One
thing that made it very uncomfortable
was a cold wind with rain. I stayed all
night in Hennessey's Hotel, and his
“Three Star Brandy"isas good as ever.
I left the next morning for Cork, in-tending
to visit the Blarney Stone, hnt
on account of the wet weather I could
not go but went on to Dublin where I
spent three hours driving through the
city on an Irish jaunting car. The city
is very clean and is noted for its nice
buildings. I visited St. Patrick's church,
a very old e lifice; in fact, the foundation
was laid.by St. Patrick himself.
Then I went on to Belfast, bnt before
I got there f, like King William, had to
cross the Boyne. My crossing, however,
was more peaceful than William's in
spite of the fact that it was only two or
three days off the Glorious Twelfth. It
was still raining and I could not stay to
have a look at every place along the
ronte, going strainhton to Belfast, which
has a population of 500,000 inhabitants.
It puts one in mind of New York or
Pittsburg. Everybody seems to be alive
and going ahead. They have a great
system of trolley cars covering almost
every street and running four or five
miles out into the country. One of the
largest shipbuilding yards in the world
is here, that of Harland & Wolff. I saw
the keel of a ship which is to be 900 feet
long, and several other ships on the
stocks. Everybody is busy working full
time. There are also linen weaving
thread making and tobacco factories and
lots of other manufacturing interests.
It is well worth anybody's while to
watch the streets at 7 o'clock a. m. and
3 o'clock p. m. to witness the sight of
young people going and coming from
their work, all being very tidy and clean.
Another strange sight that can’t be seen
in Mount Pleasant is the soldiers going
oft for a walk with their sweethearts. It
makes one wish to don the king’s uni-forms
and be one of the Red Coats. A
very funny contrast is to be seen qnite
often. A great slashing soldier like a
grenadier comes along with a girl hang-ing
on his arm inches shorter than him-self,
and perhaps just behind them are a
great tall lady and a short wee soldier,
something like Zacheus, little of stature.
The city hall is one of the finest build-ings
ever I have seen; in fact, it will
rival anything in New York or Pitts-burg.
The grounds are beautifully laid
ont with the finest shrubs and flowers,
the roses jnst coming into bloom.. I
spent two days riding about the city on
the trolley cars on which a penny car-ries
one four or five miles. The build-ings
of Belfast, in my opinion, cannot be
beaten.
I am now in England, of which I'll
speak in another letter. My health is
good. I haven't found that old dowager
duchess, but I'm keeping my weather
eye open. JAMES DEVLIN.
Enjoyable Club Function.
Miss Helen Overholt entertained some

DROPPED OUT
OF SIGHT.
Rough Experience Had by an Italian
Woman Picking Berries at
Loyalhanna.
SHE BROKE THROUGH INTO OLD COIL MINE
The oilier day Mrs, Vogio Maly, Mrs. Mary Serapina and Mrs. Francisco
Lasy, three well known Italian women of I oyalhanna, were on the Loyal-hanna
Coal & Coke Company’s farm picking berries, when Mrs Maly,
slighily in front, stepped upon the crust of earth which was all that was be-tween
her and an abandoned working ot the mine. The ground gave away
beneath her and she went down a distance of about fifteen feet.
The two other women, not knowing what had happened, shouted for
help, and John Stump, the company’s farmer, who happened to he working
with a team in a neighboring field, rushed to their assistance. Making a rope
out of the lines he used on the team, tie drew Mrs. Maly out of the dark hole
uot much the worse of her ugly fall.

Bu Courier
By O. HENRY
Copyright. 1901, liy McClure, Phillip* 41 Co. mT was noftlior the season nor
tlie hour when I lie park liml
frequenters, ami It Is likely
that the young Indy who was
neated on one of the benches at the
side of the walk had merely obeyed a
sudden impulse to sit for awhile liml
enjoy a foretaste of coming spring.
A tall young man came striding
through the park along the path near
which she sat. Behind him tagged a
boy carrying a suit case. At sight of
the young lady the man’s face chang-ed
to red nnd back to pale again. Ito
■watched her countenance ns he drew
nearer with hope nnd anxiety mingled
on his own. Ho passed within a few
yards of her. but lie saw no evidence
that she was aware of Ills presence or
existence.
Some fifty yards further on he sud-denly
stopped ami sat on a bench at
one side. The hoy dropped the suit
case nnd stared at. him with wonder-ing,
shrewd eyes. The young man
took out Ills handkerchief and wiped
his brow. It was a good handkerchief,
a good brow, and the young man was
good to look at. lie said to the boy:
“I want you to lake a message to
that young lady on that bench. Tell
her I uni on my way to the station to
leave for San Francisco, where I shall
Join that Alaska moose hunting expe-dition.
Tell her that since she has
commanded me neither to speak nor to
write to tier I take this means of
making one last appeal to her sense of
justice for the sake of what lias been.
Tell her that to condemn and discard
one who has not deserved such treat-ment
without giving him her reasons
or a chance to explain Is contrary to
her nature ns I believe it to be. Tell
her that I have thus to a certain de-gree
disobeyed her injunctions in the
hope that she may yet be Inclined to
see justice done. Go and tell her
that.”
The young man dropped a half dol-lar
Into the boy’s hand. The hoy
looked at him for a moment with
bright, canny eyes out of a dirty, in-telligent
face and then set off nt a
run. lie approached the lady on the
bench a little doubtfully, but unembar-rassed.
He touched the brim of the
old pla'kl bicycle cap perched on the
back of his head.
‘•Lady,” he said, “dat gent on de
Oder bench sent yer a song nnd dance
by me. If yer don’t know de guy and
he’s tryiu’ to do de Johnny act say do
word and I’ll call a cop In free min-utes.
If yer does know him and he’s
on de square, w’y, I’ll spiel yer do
hunch of hot air he sent yer.”
The young lady betrayed a faint in-terest.
“A song and dance!” she said in a
deliberate, sweet voice that seemed to
clothe her words in n diaphanous gar-ment
or lmoalnnhle irnnv “A lucii—iii the troubadour line, I suppose.
I—used to know the gentleman who
sent you, so I think It will hardly ho
necessary to call the police. You may
execute your song nnd dance, hut do
uot sing too loudly.”
“Aw." said the hoy, with a shrug
down the length of him, “yer know
what I mean, Indy. 'Tiiln’t a turn;
It’s wind. He told me to tell yer he’s
got his collars and cuffs in dat grip for
a scoot clean out to Frisco. Den he’s
goin’ to shoot snow birds in the Klon-dike.
He says yer told him not to
send round no more pink notes nor
come hangin’ over de garden gate, and
he takes dis means of puttin’ yer wise.
He says yer refereed him out like a
has-been and never dvo him no chance
to kick at de decision, lie snys yor
swiped him and never said why."
The slightly awakened Interest In
the young lady's eyes did not abate.
Perhaps it was caused by cither (lie
originality or the maturity of the snow
bird hunter In thus circumventing her
express commands against the ordi-nary
modes of communication. Hho
fixed her eye on a statue standing dis-consolate
In the disheveled park and
spoke Into (lie transmitter:
“Tell the gentleman that I need not
repeat to him a description of my
Ideals. He knows vvliat they have been
and wlint they still are. So far as they
touch on tills case nhsnlnto Wolf*.
and truth are tiie ones phi-amount.
Tell him that I have studied my own
heart us well as one can, and I know
its weakness as well as I (lo its needs.
That is why I decline to hear his pleas,
whatever they may be. I did not con-demn
him through hearsay or doubtful
evidence, and that is why I made no
charge. But since he persists in beai-ing
what he nlrendy well knows you
may convey the matter.
“Tell him that I entered the conserv-atory
that evening from the rear to
cut a rose for my mother. Tell him I
saw him and Miss Ashburton beneath
the pink oleander. The tableau was
pretty, but the pose and juxtaposition
■were too eloquent and evident to re-quire
explanation. 1 left the conserva-tory
and, at the same time, the rose
and my ideal.”
“I’m shy on one word, lady. Jux—
jux— Put me wise on dat, will yor?”
“Juxtaposition, or you may call it
propinquity, or, if you like, being rath-er
too near for one maintaining the po-sition
of an ideal.”
The gravel spun from beneath the
hoy’s feet. He stood by the other
bench. The man’s eyes Interrogated
him hungrily. The boy’s were shining
with the impersonal zeal of the trans-lator.
“De lady says dat she’s on to de
fact dat gals is dead easy when a fel-ler
comes spielin’ ghost stories and
tryin’ to make up and dat's why she
won’t listen to no soft soap. She says
she caught yer dead to rights huggin’

and yer was squeezin’ de odor gal to

all right, all right, but it made her
sick. She says yer better git busy and
make a sneak for do train.”
The young man gave a low whistle,
and his eyes flashed with n snARon
thought, His hand flew to the Inside
pocket of his coat and drew out a
handful of letters. Selecting one, he
handed It to tho boy, following It with
a silver dollar from Ills vest pocket.
“Ulvo that letter to the lady,” Im
said, "and ask her lo read It. Tell her

The young Indy unfolded the letter

FORTY PLAYGROUNDS BY THE SEA.
This is seashore time.
The dog days call to the worker in home, office and mill
and the answer brings up thoughts of the many resorts be-side
the sea where comfort, recreation, and pleasure alike
await the coming of the holiday -maker.
Along the shores of New Jersey from Cape May to
Sandy HOOK lie forty beaches, each offering delights for out-ings
long or short and each easily accessible by the splendid
train service of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Atlantic City, with its myriad attractions for young and
old, needs no introduction, for its charms are known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Cape May, for a century the summering place of satisfied
thousands of seekers after cool breezes, fine bathing, and the
refined amusements of the seaside, is more attractive than
ever in its new life.
Ocean City, Wildwood, Sea Isle City, with their smaller
neighbors, Anglesea, Holly Beach, Wildwood Crest, Avalon,
and Stone Harbor, afford summer pleasure to thousands.
To the north lie Beach Haven, Seaside Park, Island
Heights and the other resorts about Barnegat Bay, where
the lover of fishing and sailing finds the choicest sport.
Asbury Park, Ocean Grove. Spring Lake, Long Branch,
Sea Girt, Point Pleasant, Allenhurst, Elberon, and Belmar
on the Upper Coast where the country meets the sea right
on the beach, appeal with mighty force to the vacationist.
Sixteen day excursions to the majority of these resorts,
at specially low rates, leave on August 12, 26, and Sep-tember
9.
Any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent will be glad to
give full information regarding excursion rates, time of
trains and arrange your outing whether it be for a day, a
week, a fortnight, or the whole summer.
During the month of July we offered many great
bargains. During tho early half of the month of August
the bargains will be greater and more numerous than
anything yet offered during (ha summer. It is Inventory
month and it is the month that everything must be cleaned
out. Many goods are sacrificed and, as a rule, they are
very choice lines. Over-loaded, over-stocked, cannot
afford to carry them another year, therefore you are the
one who is benefitted.
Every woman within reach of a Union Supply Com-pany
store should make it a point to visit the place of
business this month during this great Inventory Sale.
There are numerous Odds and Finds and many Unbroken
Lines that are being pushed out and are money-saving
values to you.
Remember that the Union Supply Company
Grocery Departments are the Finest.
best equipped, and best stocked of any stores in Fayette
or Westmoreiaud Counties.
The Fresh Meat Departments are not equaled by any
opposition. Our fresh meats are all killed at our own
slaughtering houses, the stock is bought by our own
cattle man, and we feel that our goods are superior.
There are many articles, consisting of staple and
fancy groceries, that will be included and sold at a great
reduction in this Inventory Sale. It is time to stock up
your refrigerators and pantries. It is an opportunity that
everybody should take advantage of. Every article you
buy is guaranteed to be strictly first, class in quality. To
start with, the prices are lower than most any competi-tion.
We buy in such large quantities that we get special
prices that the small dealer cannot expect. We give
these special prices to our customers. At ordinary times
our prices are lower, but in this extraordinary sale the
cut prices will be a great saving to every purchaser.

THE OLD
FORBES ROAD
Prof. Lacock will Try to Determine its
Location This Month.
f
John Newton Boucher, Esq., of Greensburg, Westmoreland county’s
historian, has received a letter from Professor John Kennedy Lacock, ot Har-vard,
stating that he will, on August 16, begimthe work of definitely deter-mining
the location of the old Forbes road from Bedford to Pittsburg. He
will be accompanied by Prof. Lacear, of Wisconsin; Rev. G. P. Donohoe, ot
Connellsville, and many students of history, engineers and surveyors.
Professor Lacock is now at Harrisburg, where he is having made copies
of every warrant, patent and survey between Bedford and Pittsburg that
touches on the old Forbes road. From these and from maps and charts made
by the English and sent to the war office at London he hopes to locate the old
road relic.

T Press.J IIE Bowsers were sitting on the
front steps to take the evening
air when the telephone rang
in a peremptory way, and Mr.
Bowser went In to answer it and was
greeted with—
“Hello—Is Hint you, Sammy?"
“What do you want, sir!” was de-manded.
"I want Bowser—Sammy Bowser. Is
that him at the phone?”
“Sir, I am Mr. Bowser.”
“Glad of It. Howdy, Sammy?”
"If you do not address me more re-spectfully
1 shall shut you off.”
“Come now, Sammy, don’t get hot
under the collar. Let your Dncle John
have Ills little Joke.”
“What do you mean?"
“I’m yonr Uncle John, one of your
mother’s brothers. I live in Wisconsin,
but am here on business. You have
probably forgotten me, but I’ve kept
track of you through the papers. Been
going to write you a hundred different
times, but have always put It off.
Meant to have got over tills evening
and surprised you, but will drop in to-morrow
evening In time for dinner.
Haven’t seen you since the day you
were married. How’s the wife?”
“Do you moan that you are one of
m.v uncles?” asked Mr. Bowser.
“Cert, my boy. It don’t flatter me
that you can’t remember your Uncle
John, though I never saw you often in
the long ago. How do the rest of our
tribe come on?”
Mr. Bowser couldn’t remember on
his life If he had ever had an Uncle
John, but concluded to take the
chances, and the man at the other end
“HE WAS A SLICK, OILY, GABBY MAN.”
of the wire was told that he would he
made welcome. Of course Mrs. Bow-ser
wanted to know all about it when
the talk was closed, and when the par-ticulars
had been related she mused
for awhile and then said:
“Seems to me that you ought to re-member
If your mother had a brother
named John."
“But she had half a dozen brothers,
and It’s twenty years since I saw any
of '’em. I believe one or two did go
West”
“How did he open the conversation?"
I “By calling me Sammy. He wouldn't
.have done that unless he was a rela-tive.
He’ll be over tomorrow evening,
and we can see what sort of a man he
is.”
“I should be on my guard If 1 were
you.”
“.On my guard about what?”
“He may not be your Uncle John at
all. He may take that way to borrow
money of you. You know that there
are nil sorts of slick games being
worked.”
“Woman, do you wish to Insult me?”
exclaimed Mr. Bowser. “Am 1 such a
rool tnni a stranger can pass uuuseu
off as my uncle?”
“But you have been taken In and
done for so many times, you know."
"What! Whatl 1 have been taken
In and done for—I, Bowser! When?
Where? IIow? 1 deny that I have
ever been a victim to anybody. Pro-duce
your proofs or stnnd convicted!”
“Well, let us hope that this tnnn will
turn out all right,” she said, realizing
that she had gone too far on the other
tack.
"Of course he will turn out all right.
How can he turn out nny other way?
That’s just like you—suspicious of ev-erybody.
1 don't believe you fully trust
your own mother. I’d like to find one
man in this world that you wouldn’t
put down ns a double dyed scoundrel.”
Arrival of Uncle John.
Mrs. llowser said no more, though
she had thoughts, and after a few min
utes Mr. Bowser got over his choler
and began remembering about all Ills
relations. It was agreed that a nice
dinner should be prepared for Uncle
John and that lie should he Invited to
pass two or three days with them.
At 4 o'clock the next afternoon, two
hours before Mr. Bowser wns expect-ed
home. Uncle John rang the hell,
lie wns n man of forty. lie was n
slick, oily, gabby man. He wore loud
clothes, nnd there wns nn aroma of
horse about him.
•• A n/1 H\lu mnot Im Sitinmv'u \xr\foV'
he said as he was admitted. “Well,
well. The last time I suw you you
were a girl bride. I remember how It
rained that morning and how Sammy
was half an hour lute.”
(Mental memo, made by Mrs. Bow-ser:
She was married in the evening,
and It didn’t rain at all.)
"After talking with Sammy over the
wire last night" continued the uncle,
"I tided to figure out what his age
must he. I make It about fifty-eight.
How does he bear his age?”
(Another memo.: lie had the age
nine years too much.)
Mrs. Boxvser distrusted the innn on
sight, but as he was Mr. Bowser’s Un-cle
John she did her best to entertain
him. In his conversation he made slip
after slip, until she had no less than
ten recorded against him, hut she gave
him plenty of rope. He Informed her
that he was a dealer In horses and re-lated
many particulars of his career
and family. In all the conversation he
did not mention his name. lie simply
referred to himself as Uncle John.
Mr. Bowser came home full of curi-osity,
and there was a great shaking
of hands. Uncle John was accepted at
once. He slapped Sammy on the back,
and Sammy slapped him. He related
many things that Sammy had done
when a youth which the doer
couldn’t recall, but didn’t dispute. At
the dinner table Mrs. Bowser plumply
asked for his name. He halted and
hesitated and finally gave it os Burf.
Mr. Bowser was laughing nnd didn't
catch on. His mother’s name was
Stevens. If Uncle John was her broth-er
his name should be Stevens too. It
wns now plain to Mrs. Bowser that
the fellow was a fraud, but she made
no change In her demeanor.
Dinner over, the two men sat down
to smoke their cigars, while she saw
to the clearing up. An hour later, as
she was ready to sit down nnd help
entertain the relative, she heard a few
words that sent her upstairs instead.
Fifteen minutes later Mr. Bowser
came up. He had $100 In cash In his
dresser and he was after the money.
She looked at him Inquiringly, and he
said:
“Uncle John has a snap on hand and
If I put this hundred In I double It In
three days.”
“How kind of your uncle! Are you
sure of the relationship?”
“Am 1 sure that I’m alive?”
Questioned and Led to Door.
“Your mother’s maiden name was
Stevens. This man’s name is Burt.
How could they be brother and sister.
The snap he has on hand Is to snap
your hundred. Go down nnd ask him
what your father’s first name was.
You never had a brother Ben, but ask
this man if he ever knew a Ben Bow-ser.
I’m telling you straight Mr. Bow-ser,
he’s a sharper.”
For once In his life Mr. Bowser took
advice. He went down and carelessly
asked about brother Ben, and the
caller laughed and replied:
“Oh, yes, 1 remember yonr brother
Ben well. Nice boy, Ben wns. Give
him my regards when you write him.”
“And my sister Kitty." (He never
had one.)
“4jj. Klttv was the benuLv of the
nowser ramliy. Sweetest gin i ever
saw. 1 trust she married well?"
"Very well, Indeed. Uncle John, I
give you two minutes to get outside
my gate!"
"Why, Sammy Bowser!”
Sammy took him by the neck nnd
led him to the door nnd put a shoe
ngnlnst him, and the “uncle" went
without a word. Mrs. Bowser felt
thnt she deserved a word of praise for
her share, hut when she said so Mr.
Bowser turned on her with:
“Why, I spotted thnt fellow over the
telephone Inst night and was just
drawing him on! I can’t see where you
come Into this thing at all!”

Mount Pleasant has within its bordarft ft population of Over
(1,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately
around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by
a postoffice distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Ooke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s
big tableware glass factory, Acme Lumber and Supply Company,
Anchor Glass Factory, Searchlight Manufacturing Company’s stove
plant, the Mount Pleasant Tool Company. Husband Company’s plan-ing
mill, Galley Bros.’ carriage factory, foundry, brewery, distillery,
pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and 3 Catholic churches,
Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools and 3 Parochial
schools.
There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of
which things, when taken In connection with the best water system
ih Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.

HOSEDALE FLATS SALE.
It is a pity that Receiver Murray's sale
of the Rosedale flats in Pittsburg didn’t
net him the lull sale price as $48,500
would come in mighty handy foranother
ten per cent, dividend for the deposi-tors
of the defunct Farmers and Mer-chants
National Bank of Mount Pleas-ant.
But, facts are facts and in this case
they show that by hard work Mr. Mur-ray
will get them $15,000 by the deal
and cut the bank’s loss on the claim
down to about $25,000.
What looked like grfod property se-curity
a few years ago, when the bank
took a second mortgage on these apart-ments,
has been changed to bad by the
Pennsylvania Railroad abandoning its
nearby Brushton station. Still, the bank
has left not a few good assets that insure
depositors at least two more ten per
cent, dividends.
TARIFF LEGISLATION.
It is expected in most quarters that
the agreement on the tariff bill will last
and enable Congress to adjourn this
week. Those of the conferees who have
held out for the higher rates believe
President Taft will have a hard time
getting the conference report accepted
by both houses. They, however, appear
to be alone in possession of that belief.
The lumber, hide, coal and iron ore
men are dissatisfied, but their dissatis-faction
does not go to the extent, it is
believed, to endanger the final passage
of the bill. If there should be more than
15 Republican votes against it in the
Senate today that fact would be surpris-ing.
The House adopted it Monday 195
to 183.
The expenses of government must be
met by the people governed and doubt-less
the least felt way is to pay the cost
by means of higher prices on articles of
general consumption effected by rates of
import duty, although direct taxation
would without question lead to the
practice of greater economy. The mak-ing
of a new tariff law is a big under-taking
and President Taft will feel re-lieved
when he signs the present legis-lation
and gets Congress off his hands.
BRYAN’S VIEWS.
William J. Bryan had to make two
speeches at the Chautauqua at Bellefon-taine,
Ohio, the other day, to accommo-date
the large crowd. In one of them he
touched upon the inordinately rich by
saying that the time will come when the
churches and educational and charitable
institutions will not’give respect to rich
criminals by accepting their money.
In another speech, he said the resolu-tion
adopted by the Republicans of Ne-braska,
demanding of President Taft that
he veto the tariff bill, unless it is for
downward revision, pleased him greatly.
Mr. Bryan, when interviewed on the
subject, said that he did not expect to
be a presidential candidate again; but,
the rumor that he has a notion to locate
in Texas is surprising. Texas is a big
state, although hardly large enough to
hold two such eminent statesmen as the
esteemed Nebraskan and United States
Senatos Bailey.
SOMERSET’S WATER SHORTAGE.
Somerset people believe the Second
brigade, N. G. P., encampment will never
be held at their town again, as a result
of the soldiers suffering for sufficient
water. The defect is one which the
Somerset authorities have for some time
contended with, sinking well* to make
up the deficiencies of the reservoir sup-ply,
but apparently without sufficient
result to handle the demands of an
event like the encampment. The Som-erset
people, so it is said, heard some of
the brigade officers express themselves
vigorously about the lack of water.
This is a matter of regret for outsiders
who enjoy seeing General Hulings’s
guardsmen in camp there; but, the short-age
is one that does not seem to trouble
these generous Dutch, perhaps, because
they do not have much use for water as
a beverage.

During the encampment of the Second brigade at Somerset last week
Mrs. B. W. Whiteside, member of a party from Morgantown, W. Va.,
was the victim of a hotel robbery, losing jewelry valued at nearly $1,000.
Mrs. Whiteside went to Camp Hunt in an automobile with Lieutenant Colo-nel
and Mrs. Lewis T. Krebs, the latter of Governor Glasscock’s West Vir-ginia
staff. Mrs. Whiteside had a room at the Hotel Belmont adjoining that
of Colonel and Mrs. Krebs.
When Mrs. Whiteside was about to retire for the night she discovered
her grip had been slashed and rifled, the loot including five necklaces, a pair
of gold earrings, three gold chains and a diamond and pearl pendant. One
of the necklaces was an heirloom. It is supposed the robbery was committed
while Mrs. Whiteside was in the dining room between 7 and 8 o’clock in the
evening.

"For your sake," whispered Hardy,
“I will endure anything from him, at
least until we have rescued you from
this danger.”
A small hand crept down his arm,
found his hand, and pressed it.
“Merci, mon ami!” whispered the
princess.
At that moment a splash was heard
by the side of the boat.
“Go below!" said Hardy in a voice
of command—the voice that a real
woman ukes to hear sometimes from
a real man; and he stepped lightly to
the spot. He could see nothing, could
hear nothing more, but he found the
general standing at the place, which
was on the down-stream side, gazing
into the water. For a moment Hardy
had confidently expected to see a
throng of Chinese climbing up the
sides. If this splash had indicated
the arrival of the enemy, however,
there was nothing in the general's de-meanor
to betray the fact. He did
not move, did not awake the sleeping
crew, but turned with a sigh and
crossed the deck. He was stopped by
the princess, who walked with him for
a few seconds.
"He has sent one of the crew, Sten-ka
Pugacheff, down the river for
help,” she said to Hardy. “Brave
Stenka! He hopes to get far enough
in the darkness to escape the eyes of
the band which is collected here, and
then he will take to the woods. Is he
not a hero, this simple. Cossack? It
Is 80 versts to the military station,
and there is death waiting for him a;
every step." ,
A light flashed an I went out 80 or
40 yards below, and immediately a
blazing object described an arc
through the air and fell on the deck
not far from their feet. One glance
was enough to show that the object
was an arrow which, freighted with
some highly inflammable material,
was sticking upright in the deck and
burning like a candle. It cast con-siderable
light. Hardy leaped to
snatch it, but, ere he reached it, one
of the Cossack soldiers anticipated
him and threw the blazing missile into
the river. Just as he was in Lhe act
of seizing it, several shots rang out
and the man was slightly wounded in
the arm, as was discovered later—for
the brave fellow made no outcry at
the time. The general spravg to the
princess’ side, took her by the arm
and turned her toward the gangway,
speaking kindly but firmly to her.
“Da, da!" she replied, and left the
deck.
The first arrow was but the precur-sor
of a shower of 20 or more, the ma-jority
of which either passed far over
the vessel or fell short, thus proving
that the accuracy of the first shot bad
been largely the result of a lucky
guess.
One of the arrows stuck fast in the
rr.il and a sailor broke it. off by strik-ing
it with a long polo. The rifle vol-ley
of which it was the precursor did
no damage, as most of the’Russians
were either lying on their stomachs,
or were crouching behind the impro-vised
bulwarks. There were evidently
about 30 Chinese shooting arrows, ac-companied
by from six to ten rifle-men.
If they were trying to set fire to
the boat, or merely to light it up so
that they might pot at its occupants
from the safety of the darkness, it
soon became evident that their scheme
was not destined to prove highly suc-cessful.
The men, for one thing,
made themselves plainly visible for
an instant or so while they were
scratching their matches and applying
the burning arrows to the string.
‘ They kept shooting now, sporadical-
; ly. First here and there and then in
j some other spot a red, fitful light
j would gleam for an instant, dyeing
/ a patch in the river blood-red by its
radiance, and revealing a wild, sav-age-
looking Mongolian, armed with
great bow and quiver, who flicked into
view for a moment and as soon was
swallowed up again by darkness.
Hardy, not understanding the gen-eral’s
orders, reasoned that he would
be pardoned for acting under his own.
If he were going wrong, he reflected,
It would be easy to stop him. He
therefore held his rifle ready for ac-tion,
as a man who is expecting a
covey of quail to rise, and stood
watching the water, alert, tense, keen
as a cat about to spring. His chance
came soon, when one of those lights
flashed nearly in the direction of his
gaze and not far away. He threw
the gun to his shoulder and fired. He
could not see the sights, but he could
njiake out the object ’plainly, and he
kinew he should not go far wrong. He
paissed, for the Chinese, standing
jabout waist-deep in the water, fitted
the arrow to the string and discharged
it. The shot rang out loud and clear.
It seemed to Hardy that he had never
heard a rifle make such a loud report
before. The general exclaimed:
"Monsieur Hardy, ah!” and made BO
further comment, so the American
continued his shooting—once, twice,
three times. Meanwhile the attacking
party seemed to be approaching a lit-tle
nearer, and they succeeded in lodg-ing
several of their burning missiles
in the woodwork of the boat: one ar-row
in rne ran, iwo in the side oi tne
wheelhouse, and one in the hull. These
were broken off almost as soon as
they stuck and did no damage, for,
strange to say, the Chinese them-selves
had ceased firing their rifles.
And now Hardy had the Inex-pressible
joy of killing one of the
attacking party, who fell backward
into the water with his blazing arrow
in his hand.
“I’m getting the knack of it,” he
muttered; “I shall be able to do it
more frequently now. Perhaps I,
alone, can stop them.”
A moment later he heard sudden
shouting, the sound of running feet,
snarls of rage and the splash of heavy
bodies falling into the water. A party
of Chinese, that had crept down from
above in rowboats, was attempting to
board, and the Bouriats and crew
were repelling them savagely with bay-onets
and swords.
CHAPTER XVf.
Battle by Moonlight.
The burning arrows had been a di-version,
as the books on tactics say,
to draw the attention of the little band
of defenders and occupy it completely
on the down-stream side, while an-other
attacking party crept up under
cover of darkness and boarded from
above. But for the fact that the wily
old general, fearing the trick, had
kept a guard stationed at that side,
the ruse might have succeeded per-fectly.
The boat, as we have seen,
whs swung diagonally across a sort
of channel, her nose and stern being
imbedded in sand-banks. The Chinese,
coming down stream in three row-boats,
struck her at either end and
near the middle, their evident inten-tion
being to spread the Russians out
as much as possible.
At this moment a frayed and worn
old moon floated up out of the Si-berian
forest. Hardy saw, by its light,
a wide expanse of water, dimly shin-ing
between ghostly forests; he saw
several Mongolian heads, covered
with round black caps, looking over
the side of the boat; he saw Julius
Smulders whirl a heavy oak pole in
the air and bring it down on one of
these heads with terrific force; he
saw one of the Bouriats cleave an-other
head so completely that one-half
stood erect for a second, while
the other fell over the victim’s shoul-der,
as the Bouriat wrenched at his
sword, which was Imbedded in the
rail; he saw a gigantic Manchurian,
with a long two-handed sword, leap
aboard, to be thrust through by a bay-onet
lunge just as his feet struck the
deck.
All this the American took in with
one glance of the eye just as the
moon rose above the woods.
There were four of the crew, be-sides
the captain, all armed with rifles
to which bayonets had been affixed 4*'
the general’s order. Add to these
Smulders, the general himself, Hardy
and three Bouriats, and the defending
party consisted of 11 members. Brave
Stenka Pugacheff of the crew had
gone down the fiver for help, and the
attack had been delivered so sudden-ly
that there was no time to call Ro-manoff,
who was sleeping below. In-deed,
it is doubtful if, at that moment
of extreme excitement, anybody
thought of him.
The Chinese were receiving a mur-derous
and unlooked-for reception, but
they were not to be easily beaten off.
Several of them gaiiyid the deck and
began to swing their clunrsy, two-handed
swords, and the slash of steel
on steel rang out amVl savage grunts,
snarls and cries of rage. The Cossack
crew and the Bouriats fought like dev-ils,
leaping and darting about with the
agility of wildcats and handling their
more modern weapons with murder-ous
dexterity and skill.
A man never knows what sort of
man he is still a supreme trial comes
to him. The American found himself
cool. His faculties were all at a
state of extremest tension, with the
result that he could see and hear bet-ter,
think faster and decide more
quickly than in ordinary moments.
He took his revolver from his pocket
and ran lightly toward a Manchurian
who was just throwing one leg over
the rail. He fired at the head of the
nan, who fell back into'the water with
a loud splash, dropping his sword on
the deck. Another leaped over the
rail almost at his side, and, swinging
his great steel blade high in the air,
chopped at Hardy’s head. The latter
threw up his rifle and received the
blow on the barrel. The impact
brought him to his knees, but, as he
sank, he shot his assailant beneath
the chin, killing him instantly.
At this moment a blazing arrow
passed over him and stuck in one of
the cotton-stuffed pillows that had been
used as a barricade. Hardy snatched
the pillow, threw it overboard and
ran to the down-stream side of the
boat. The attack of the boarders had
not lasted In all over four or five
minutes, and yet in that time several
of the wading party had approached
considerably nearer. The moon gave
sufficient light for him to see the
sights of his rifle now and the dark
form of the Chinese made conspicuous
marKS in the gleaming water. This
was not over two or three inches deep
m the sand in which the prow of the
boat was imbedded, and two of the
Chinese were running close in. Hardy
killed them both with his rifle and
then began to shot deliberately at
those who were farther away, with
such efTect that he put the entire
party to flight ere the ten remaining
shots in his weapon were exhausted.
He turned to re-enter the melee just
in time to see Boris Romanoff burst
raging on deck, wrench a two-handed
sword from the fingers of a dead Chin-nese
and ply it with as much ease and
skill as though it were lightest of
rapiers. The attackers were gaining
ground. Enough of them had come
over the side to defend a portion of
lhe rail, over which others were rapid-ly
scrambling, while several of their
number were keeping the defending
party so busy that they could not use
their guns to shoot them down; which,
indeed, they would not have been
likely to dp, in any case, as Cossacks
and Bouriats are primitive fighters
who do not think of shooting when
brought to close quarters. Boris Ro-manoff
charged with such deadly skill
that the boarders leaped over the
side, back into the water, leaving two
of their number dead. The other
brigands followed their comrades,
with the exception of one, who was
bayoneted in the back just as he
jumped; the rifle-barrel, striking the
rail, made a fulcrum of it, so that the
weapon was wrenched from the own-er’s
hands.
And now a thing happened that made
Hardy glad that he had not taken
Boris Romanoff’s hand, One of the
Chinese was not dead, but had been
stunned by a blow on the head with a
pole. He sat up and looked about
him, when Romanoff kicked him in
the face, knocking him backward,
and, snatching a gun from one of the
Bouriats, pinned the man writhing to
the deck. So firmly was the steel
blade imbedded in the planking that
the combined efforts of two men
were needed to pull it out again.
The fight was over. There was no
further danger of the Chinese return-ing
to the attack that night, if at all.
They had been taught a terrible les-son,
though with considerable cost,
it must be confessed, to the defenders.
One of the Bouriats was dead, cleft
deeply at the base of the neck from
a blow with a two-handed sword,
Smulders was wounded in the head
ny a gash that caused the blood to
flow over his cheek. His clothing ujas
copiously stained. Romanoff, it was
found, too, had received a thrust in
the leg, of which he made light, b«t
which was bleeding profusely. The
general ordered him below.
While the men were washing down
the decks, Hardy went into the
passage leading to the cabins. He
wished to reload his rifle, and pos-sibly
get a little sleep. He wondered
how the princess had fared during
these terrible moments of uproar and
carnage.

“Doan’s Kidney Pills have been a great
help to me. I had weak kidneys and
was caused much inconvenience by the
irregular passages of the secretions. My
back was lame, I seemed to have no
strength and if I attempted to do my
work, I suffered from the soreness in my
back. I finally learned of Doan’s Kid-ney
Pills and procured a box at Chas.
L. Kuhn's drug store. This remedy has
regulated ihe kidney secretions and
strengthened my back; in fact, has made
me feel better in every way. I gladly
addjmy name to the list ol advocates ot
Doan's Kidney Pills.”

PLEASANT HILL.
Dear Editor, we think our burg is a
large enough fly speck or sore spot on
the face of nature to be of interest to the
reading public, hence these roastlets.
We now boast of a photo gallery, with
a second hand, breechloading picture
gun, with Al. Smith at the trigger. Land
scapes and other things are taken with
views guaranteed and variable.
Our town is threatened with a water
famine. Several families of the First
ward have annexed a piece of Leeper’s
spring.
The “decoration” has left Manuel
Neiderhiser's face. Hays Showman was
the artist.
Ed. Morey is busy building fence.
Al. Smith is harvesting McGee’s black-berry
crop. The berries are o. k., but Al.
says the stalks would make good cross-cut
saws.
Mrs. Wm. Ross is visiting her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Morey.
Mrs. Milton Keicher is able to be about
again.
Our city dads are debating the enact-ment
of an ordinance reducing the speed
of all autos to 90 miles an hour. John
D. K. comes out and, at the top of the
hill on Cemetery avenue, buckles on his
mobile features and slides down to the
pump house so fast that a streak of
greased lightning simply couldn’t catch
up with the smell. Si SIMPLE.

Glimpse
The first glimpse of nifty new
two and three piece suits for
Autumn wear. There are
many strikingly attractive feat-ures
to the new fall suits, both
coats and skirts; in other words,
there is a radical difference be-tween
these and anything hith
erto produced—the coats are
longer, the skirts are pleated,
the ornamentation is new and
the materials generally of the
favored rougher fabrics.
An August “Windfall,”
Saturday and Monday, Aug. 7 and 9.
Two events of importance—first glance at the new fall
suits, dress skirts and silk waists—a sale of outer and under
garments for late summer wear and yard goods at prices
that make it profitable for buyers to be present early in the
day—a rummage sale with lower prices tor wanted items
than you have heard of before.
Mission.
Mission portier is the name
of a new art drapery that
will be an ornament to any
home. A combination of rope
and tapestry stripes with ori-ental
figures. Really this is
one of the best we have ever
seen and would like to have
you look it over.

$3.50 and $3.00 Skirts (just in from

that fit as beautifully as any high priced
worsted skirt.
Surplus White Silk Gloves
to close
Too many white silk gloves on hand
so we place them on the bargain table;
two clasp, double linger tipped at'
35c for the 5oc kinds
50c for the 75c kinds.
A Shower of Remnants
Of silks, of woolens, of cottons, of
linens, of broken lines of hosiery and
gloves—talk about your good picking,
these remnants certainly will make it
worth your while to be “among those
present”—marked i to ^ original
prices.
Unusual Values in Infants’
Dresses and Skirts
Found a manufacturer who would
make us up a lot and sell them at
cost of making and we put them on
sale Saturday morning at a saving to
