IN ABOUT A WEEK.
In a Letter to This Paper Mr. Lacock
Proposes to have Several of his Fel-low

Famous Route, the Proceeds to be

Meets With Much Favor.
AMBRIDGE, MASS., JUNE 22, 1909. ED.
JOURNAL. It is my purpose to conduct a
second party over the old Braddock
Road for the purpose of acquainting
myself with the road’s location and
gathering additional data. We start from
Cumberland June 28 and expect to reach
your town July 5 or 6. We have, how-ever,
been extended a most cordial in-vitation
to be the guests of some of the
representative citizens of Uniontown on
July 5 at their celebration, hence may
be a day late in reaching your place.
We remember the cordial treatment
extended us last year by the good peo-ple
of your town, and we certainly will
be pleased to renew these acquaintances
and meet other citizens there. Further-more
we will be under obligations to
any one who can assist us in any way
relative to the location of this celebrated
(highway. We will be pleased to have
any one communicate with us.
Last year the press proved a very val-uable
aid to us, and I take this early
Opportunity to give notice of our second
Journey over the road.
I It has occurred to me that your people
Jmight desire to have a member or two
Ifof the party give an account of our
journey over the road. I shall be glad
so to arrange if it is desired (July 5 or
<6). There will be no charge on our part,
but if you want to charge a small fee or
take up a collection you may arrange to
that end with the understanding that
the money so raised will be used to-wards
marking the road in your locality
by some suitable marker, tablet or other
means. Yours very truly,
JOHN K. LACOCK.
LIVELY COLLISION.
An Auto, Brewery Wagon and Buggy Mixup
on Main Street.
J. McD, Bryce's automobile, Alex.
Domarat’s brewery wagon and a More-wood
Pole's buggy got mixedup and had
Central Main street full and running
over with life Saturday evening.
The chaufteur, Henry Schaub, Jr., tried
to get his machine out of the street car
track in front of the United Brethren
church and the wheels slid along the
rails until the front end struck the little
booze wagon that in turn knocked the
hind wheels oft the buggy; while Mr.
Domarat, in the excitement, landed on
the sidewalk with a rib or two so loos-ened
up that the owner of the auto or-dered
him to the hospital for repairs as
the president's guest, likewise the buggy
(to the Galley coachfactory.
| Alexander has been unfortunate in his
experience with autos. A year or so
pgo, while he was peddling fruit near
Tarr, his horse scared at W. M. Hitch-nan’s
passing White steamer and a large
section of East Huntingdon township
was quickly strewn with more bananas
and wagon wheels than “Billy" ever
thought one horse could haul.
More of Mr. Erick’s Generosity.
Good things came bunched last week
to Rev. Dr. Howard S. Wilson, pastor of
the local United Presbyterian church.
First, Muskingum College, an Ohio in-stitution
of learning, gave him the Doc-tor
of Divinity degree and then along
came a check from H. C. Frick for a
very handsome sum which Dr. Wilson
is privileged to spend as he sees fit in
the improvement of his church property.
.He paade a neat acknowledgement of Mr.
Frijck’s generosity through the columns
of leading Pittsburg papers.

has just returned home from her first
year’s course atHenshaw's Conservatory
of Music, Chicago. Prof. Henshaw, the
head of that well known institution, is
himself a prominent member of the
Metripolitan Opera Company. It was
his recommendation, coupled with her
showing, that secured for her a recent
flattering offer from a Chicago director to
take a leading part in his orchestra.
Miss Wissinger, however, declined this
tempting offer as she desires to continue
her studies before appearing in grand
opera, despite the fact that her instruc-tors
say that she is already capable of
taking such a part.

REV. DR. FORTNEY PAYS NICE TRIBUTE
To Rev. Dr. S. G. Yahn, of This Place, Who Succeeds the
Former in the Editorial Chair of the Church of
God Advocate at Harrisburg.
ASSISTANT WHO HAS PROVED WORTH.
Items of Interest Gathered from Both Mine
and Yard.
The continued improvement in the
coke business is especially noticeable in
this district. The "B” shaft at Morewood
was placed in operation Monday when
40 additional ovens were fired up. The
Frick people also ordered their long
idle Alverton plant to make smoke with
100 ovens. Alice and Tarr have each
150 ovens in blast, while Rainey’s Acme
works have all but 29 ovens going, and
all making six days this week. The Frick
company fired in all 1,200 ovens this
week.
The Union Supply Company has ad-vanced
Frank Perkey from a Morewood
clerkship to the management of its store
at Alice.
Suit has been filed in the Somerset
county court by Mrs. Annie E. Oft
against the Berwind-White Coal Mining
Company for the recovery of $1,071,914
representing damages alleged to have
been sustained as the result of opera-tions
in Paint township by the defend-ant
company in raining the rich “C," or
“Cement” seam of coal, instead of the
"B,” or “Miller" seam, which had been
purchased by the company. The coal
involved is under the old Benjamin
Miller farm.
Mine Inspector W. H. Howarth, of
Monongahela, called on a few of his old
friends here Friday. He takes charge
today of his new district at Brownsville
to which place he will move his wife
and family as soon as he can get a house.
Owen Murphy, the Connellsville con-tractor,
will begin work next week on
the development of 125 acres of coal
near Whitney. He will expend some
$50,000 in the erection of a 50-oven coke
plant.
DEATHS OF THE WEEK.
The Grim Reaper's Work in This Place and
Vicinity.
The body of Michael Zuk, a Connells-ville
cabinet maker, aged 44 years, who
died in the hospital there of injuries
received in being thrown from a wagon,
was buried here Thursday in the Polish
cemetery by the side of his first wife
who was Miss Josephine Melik, a sister
of Anthony Melik, of this place. Three
children, one by the first marriage, and
his second wife survive,
A number of old Mount Pleasant
friends of Mrs. William Muir, who was
a Miss Eaton, of this place, and who
died at her home near Scottdale, attend-ed
the interment there last Wednesday.
Joseph Smith, of Smithton, for eigh-teen
consecutive years a justice of the
peace in Westmoreland county and a
member of Legislature during the clos-ing
days of the Civil war, died suddenly
of heart trouble last Wednesday at Man-assas,
Va., while on his way to South
Carolina in search of health. He was 73
years of age and leaves a widow, three
sons and three daughters.
Daniel Baughman died Friday evening
of paralysis at his Carpentertown home
in Mount Pleasant township, aged 71
years. He was a bachelor and a veteran
of the Civil war, being survived by one
sister, Mrs. Uriah Sell, of New Stanton.
The interment took place in the Seanor
churchyard on Sunday.
A GIRL BABY
WHO FOOLED
IHL DOCTORS
By Living When They Said
it Would Die.
SHE IS MISTRESS HARRIET CLAIR HESS
WHO WAS PREMATURELY BORN SOME
THREE MONTHS.
Rev. Dr. C. H. Forney, who has been the editor of “The Church Advo
cate,’’ Harrisburg, Pa., for the past forty years, closed his labors with last
week’s issue. In introducing his successor, Rev. Dr. S. G. Yahn, of this
place, after speaking of his education, his work as a teacher and his success
as a minister, he says:
“In the larger sphere, as a member of
the General Eldership since 1893, and a
member of its Board of Missions for the
past ten years, and most of the time its
Secretary, he has given evidence of a
clear grasp of every question and a sin-gleness
and persistence of purpose
which always go before promotion and
honor. As a member of the Board of
Trustees of Findlay College for several
terms, and its President for the past
three years, he has done much in fram-ing
its policies and guiding its delibera-tions
to wise conclusions. In 1905 the
College gave deserved recognition to his
literary and theological scholarship by
conferring upon him the degree of doc-tor
of divinity.
“With the painstaking, efficient servant
of State or Church, increase of work and
responsibility come with the increase
of years. So in the case of Dr. Yahn.
His heaviest work, and that which has
been perhaps most fruitful in the way
of experience and practical training for
his new field of labor, has been that of
the past few years, during which be was
pastor, a,s noted above, of a very impor-tant
church, Secretary of the Board of
Missions of the General Eldership, Pres-ident
of the Board of Trustees of Find-lay
College and Assistant Editor of ‘The
Advocate.’ These accumulating labors
have doubtless given added qualifica-
| tions for his future work.
She Began Life in an Incubator,
Weighing but one and one Quarter
Pounds and Without Epidermis and
Remained There Five Weeks, Since
which Time She Continued to Grow.
Never Sick a Day, and Now Tips
the Beam at 18 Pounds. She and
Her Mother Here the Past Week
With Their Aunt, Mrs. W. H. Tem-pleton.
Mistress Harriet Clair Hess, now of
Pittsburg, who was here the past week
with her mother, Mrs. C. E. Hess,
visiting the latter’s aunt, Mrs. W. H.
Templeton, at the National Hotel, has,
by living, doubtless fooled more doc-tors
than any girl of her age.
Prematurely born some three months
when she came into this world in Octo-ber,
1907, in Chicago, her parents resid-ing
there at that time, she weigned one
and one-quarter pounds and was entire-ly
devout of epidermis. The attending
physician and his fellow city praction-ers,
many of whom saw the mite, never
thought for a minute she would live.
However, she was put into an incubator
just to see how long her life could be
lengthened out. There she remained in
a little nesf of cotton for five weeks,
being given a few drops of milk every
two hours.
Even when taken out and turned over
to her young mother there were few who
believed it possible for her to continue
to live. She was at that time so tiny
that her mother's diamond ring could be
passed over her hand and up the arm
clear to the shoulder.
But live she did, never knowing a
day's sickness, until she is now a lively
little miss weighing eighteen pounds,
learning to walk and trying her best to
talk, with every indication that she will
be having, in due time, just as many
beaux as ber pretty mama ever had.
“His work as Assistant Editor began
in January, 1905. He has done good
work in every sense of the term since
then. His editorial contributions and
his management of the Christian En-deavor
Department merit high commen-dation.
He is therefore exceptionally
well equipped to be a successful editor.
As a writer he has a good working voc-abulary.
He does not waste words, nor
deal too liberally in qualifying terms.
He makes good choice of expressive
words. There is clearness, correctness,
force and unity in his thoughts. There
is an impressive biblical tone in his
writings. His editorials will be noted
for purity ot style, precision of terms
and perspicuity of expression. He is
alert. He will have a clear comprehen-sion
of the work, the workers and the
needs of all our interests. And he will
discuss wi(h growing intelligence the
larger problems and interests of the
kingdom of God.
“Behind all these qualifications there
is in Dr. Yahn true nobility of charac-ter,
sterling integrity, deep spiritual
life, splendid Christian spirit and that
charity which suftreth long and is
kind. We are happy in introducing to
our readers, with whom we have been
so closely associated for so many years,
a man and a brother so well qualified
for the position of Editor of the Organ
of the Churches of God."
SIGN OF THE CROSS.
Girls off on Great Trip.
Misses Alma Seaton and Grace Lohr,
both members of the local corps of pub-lic
school teachers, left Tuesday on a
great western trip. They will first take
in the Northwest, including the Alaska-
Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle,
Washington. They will then drift down
the Pacific Coast as far as Los Angeles,
California, before they turn their faces
eastward via Salt Lake City and Denver,
expecting to reach home the latter part
of August.
Items of Special Interest to the Local
Church Goers,
Rev. S. G. Yahn, D. D., will preach at
the Church of God next Sabbath, morn-ing
and evening.
The Church of God was crowded with
delighted people Sunday evening when
the cantata, “The Pilgrim’s Progress”
was given under the clever direction of
Miss Irene Bowers with Prof. Lakin pre-siding
at the organ.
A patriotic service will be held in the
United Brethren church Sunday evening
next at 7:30, The local P. O. S. of A. and
Robert Warden Post, G. A. R., will be
present with the Bridgeport cornet band
which will give a sacred concert. The
pastor, Rev. G. L. Graham, will deliver
an oration on the life of Washington.
There will be a special patriotic ser-vice
at the First Reformed church Sun-day
next at 10:30 a. m. At 3 p. m. Rev.
C. E. Wagner, of Connellsville, will give
an address on "John Calvin, the Virtual
Founder ot America.” The public is
cordially invited to both services. There
will be no evening service.
Presbyterian Lawn Fete.
The Re-Union Presbyterian ladies will
hold their annual Fourth of July lawn
fete on their church grounds Saturday
evening next, July 3rd. Supper will be
served from 5 to 9 o'clock. Ice cream,
cake and candy will be on sale all eve-ning.
Everyone is cordially invited to
come and bring friends and spend a
pleasant evening on the lawn.
Regular W. C. T. U. Meeting.
The W. C. T. U. requests all members
to be present at the regular meeting on
Tuesday next at 3 p. m. in the United
Brethren church. The object is to ob-serve
Flower Mission Day, and dona-tions
of fruit and flowers are desired.
Mrs. D. H. Stoner, superintendent of
Flower Mission, will have charge of the
service, and a suitable program will be
given.
A Good Performance.
As was expected, the Institute stu-dents
gave a very clever performance of
“Lend Me Five Shillings" in the Grand
Opera House Monday evening, netting
the Civic Association some $70. A spe-cial
as well as pleasing feature was the
solo singing of Miss Leona Marsh. The
Civic ladies take this means of express-ing
their deep sense of gratitude to the
performers as a whole for their excellent
help in a good cause.
Passion Flay Observations.
As already noted in these columns,
Rev. Dr. E. U. Hoenshel, head of the
Shenandoah Institute, Dayton, Virginia,
will deliver an address on the Passion
Play in his old United Brethren pulpit
here Monday evening, July 12th, under
the auspices of M. A. King's Sunday
school class. General admission will be
25 cents with 15 cents for children.
Ruffsdale Wedding.
Raymond Hixson and Miss Emma
Null, popular young Ruftsdale people,
were married at noon yesterday at the
home of the bride's parents, and left af-ter
a big dinner on a bridal tour. Miss
Oma Myers, a talented local musician,,
played the wedding march.
THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1909.
Pennsylvania's History
THE pront commonwealth of Pennsylvania Is well named the Keystone
State. No other state In the Union holds so Important a place In
the history of this country. No state lms done more to upbuild and
perpetuate the Union. Pennsylvania was one of the original thirteen
states. It was named after Its founder. William Penn, whose experiences,
both political and religious, In England and America read like a most inter-esting
romance.
With the exception of n few trading posts established about 1020 there
were no settlements made In Pennsylvania until 1043. In that year a Swedish
colony settled nt Tlnicum Island. These settlers built a mill on Cobb's creek
and a church nt Tinicum. In 105.1 the Swedish settlements were captured
by Stuyvesant, and five years later a Dutch settlement was made at Mln-neslnks.
After the capture of New Amsterdam by the English In 1004 the
colony on the Delaware continued under the government of New York until
the whole territory was ceded to William Penn by Charles II. upon payment
of two beaver skins annually. This tribute was paid regularly for a period
of ninety-nine years.
It wns on March 4, 1081, that William Penn was made, by charter, gov-ernor
of the province of Pennsylvania. He desired to call the territory "New
Wales,” but the king Insisted upon "Pennsylvania.” Penn wanted to com-promise
by calling It “Sylvania,” but the king was determined to have his
way about It, much to the discomfiture of Penn, who thought It looked like
Tanlty on his part to have the new territory named for him. Penn landed
tit Newcastle Ocl. 27, 1082. Two days later he went to Upland, now
called Chester, to call the first general assembly. From Chester he went up
the Delaware by boat to Shaekamaxon, where he made his famous treaty
with the Indians. Penn and the Indians exchanged some presents, and the
Indians pledged themselves to live In love with him and his children as long
as the sun and the moon should endure. "This,” sgys Voltaire, "was the
only treaty between these people and the Christinns that was mnde without
an oath and that wns never broken." So well was this treaty kept that not a
drop of Quaker blood was shed by the Indians while he lived. Penn wns
deprived of authority from ltli)2 to 101)4. when his rights were restored and
William Markham, his cousin, wns appointed lieutenant governor.
For n quarter of n century following Immigration had been constantly In-creasing.
Friends, Huguenots and north of Ireland Protestants came to this
country In large numbers during tills period. In 1720 nil attempt was made
to limit immigration by imposing a fine of 40 shillings per head on immi-grants.
This was defeated, however, by a union of Friends and Germans.
Important events took place during the rest of this century. Independ-ence
hall wns built In 1729-34. The northwestern section of Pennsylvania suf-fered
much during the French and Indian war of 1744 to 1756. The boundary
WILLIAM PENN, FROM A PAINTING BY SIR GODFREY KNELLER
between Pennsylvania and Maryland was run by Mason and Dixon in 1767
and 1768. The First Continental congress was held in Pennsylvania In 1774.
The Declaration of Independence was promulgated from Independence hall
July 4, 1776, and readers of history well know the leading part Pennsylvania
took in the war of the Revolution which followed: It was in this state that
many of the most exciting scenes of that memorable war were enacted.
Pennsylvania contributed more than her share of soldiers and supplies. The
sufferings of the patriots who went through that war will never be known.
Another memorable event, the Wyoming mnssacre, occurred in this state
In 1778. Other massacres and temporary Insurrections took place from time
to time. Slavery had long been abhorrent to the people of this state. The
question came up for final settlement in 1780, and the Friends played a con-spicuous
part toward securing the abolishment of the slave traffic. They
had repeatedly advised against the Importing and purchasing of negroes and
created much sentiment In favor of the enactment of a law doing away with
the traffic. Finally a bill wns presented In the assembly for the gradual abo-lition
of slavery In Pennsylvania, and the bill passed by n vote of 34 to 21.
The whisky Insurrection was waged on Pennsylvania soil. Congress
passed a law in 1791 placing n tax of 25 cents a gallon on whisky. The
farmers about Pittsburg had no market for their grain, as the Mississippi
was not then open to American navigation, so they were obliged to turn their
grain into whisky. They could not understand why they should be obliged
to pay an excise tax of any kind, and they rebelled In a most vigorous man-ner.
Finally President Washington issued an order for an army of 12,000 men
to suppress the uprising and also sent a commission to make peace if possi-ble.
After a month's hard work the rebellion was subdued without further
bloodshed.
Pennsylvania played a most conspicuous and important part in the war
of the rebellion. She furnished many men and supplies, and some of the
greatest battles the world had ever known were fought on her soil. The
state furnished In all 270 regiments and several unattached companies, num-bering
387,284 men. The citizens of the commonwealth also were most lib-eral
in their treatment of soldiers passing through the state. At the close
of the war Colonel Thomas A. Scott, on behalf of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, donated $50,000 for bounties for volunteers, but it was decided to
use this money to establish schools for soldiers’ orphans Instead. Two years
later, in 1865, schools in vurious parts of the state had 200 soldiers’ orphans
enrolled in them.
The capital was established permanently nt Harrisburg by act of the leg-islature,
approved by Governor Snyder, In February, 1810. The cornerstone of
the first new capital building was laid May 31, 1819. The building was com-pleted
in 1821 and was first occupied by the assembly Jan. 3, 1822. It was
destroyed by fire Feb. 2, 1897. The present new capital building, concern
lug which there lms been so much talk, was completed at a cost of $13,000,-
000. It was dedicated Oct. 4, 1006.
The following governors presided nt vurious times over the destinies of
Pennsylvania from the time the territory was granted to William Penn by
King Charles II. of England until statehood was established in 1790: William

WHEN YOU HAVE TROUBLE with the way your
clothes fit, it’s probably due to one or more of
these causes:
Either the fabric is of poor quality—cotton mixed
goods, in place of all-wool; or the cloth is not properly
shrunk before cutting; or the tailoring workmanship is
badly done.

These are the dangers in buying cheap clothes; or
clothes you don’t know anything about; or too often
clothes “made-to-measure.”

THE LOADED
BARBECUE.
By ROBERTUS LOVE
{Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-
C ciation.] ADET HENRY J. HAYNES
came home about the middle
of June on his first furlough
from West Point
In his spick and span uniform and
as a future leader of great armies he
was Burnsville’s pride. The brass
band met him at the station and es-corted
him home, playing “Hail to the
i Chief."
"Haven’t you fellows any band pa-
/ Villon yet?” the cadet Inquired.
) “Don’t see one, do you?” was Band
I Leader Tom Turner’s way of replying.
I “No, hut 1 want to see one.”
v ‘‘We’ll have to see about $150 first to
} build it” said Turner.
That evening the cadet attended a
meeting of the band at the courthouse,
called to consider ways and means for
the purchase of a new bass drum. He
proposed that a Fourth of July picnic
under the auspices of the band be held,
with a big dinner at 25 cents a head,
the proceeds to go toward building a
band pavilion.
The suggestion was adopted. Tur-ner
was appointed to engage the use
of Verner’s grove for the day. It was
a very attractive spot to the public
on a hot day, but its owner was the
meanest man in the county. For twen-ty
years he had been called “Stingy”
Verner in ordinary conversation. He
kept his grove under lock and key, In-closed
by a high fence and padlocked
gates.
"Goin’ to charge money for the din-ner,
hey?” be said to Turner.
"Yes; it’s for the band pavilion."
"Huh! I see. Then you can afford
to pay me $50 for the grove. That’s
my Agger.”
Turner reported to the band, and it
was determined to bold the picnic in
the courthouse yard, which could be
had free. It was not a desirable loca-tion,
but it would do. Advertisements
of the coming celebration and the din-ner
were placed in all the newspapers
of the county.
Three days later Tom Turner called
the band together in great anxiety.
Every man knew the reason. They
hjad seen “Stingy” Verner’s picnic post-ojt-
s. The owner of the grove was go-iH,
g to hold an opposition picnic. Col-
'ired posters four feet long were ad-ertising
throughout the county: “Big
id Fashioned Barbecue Dinner In
eautiful Vemer’s Grove, Burnsville,
n the Glorious Fourth. Barbecued
cat—All You Can Eat—15 Cents.”
"That knocks us clean out,” said
Turner. “People around here have been
wanting a barbecue for the last twenty
years. We might as well quit, boys.”
“Not on your life!” spoke up Cadet
Haynes. “Go
right ahead with
your picnic. I’ve
been doing a lit-tle
thinking about
this opposition
picnic, and I have
a plan that will
make old Stingy’s
barbecue look like
a two-for cigar In
in a box of per-fectos.”
Knowing the
boy’s resourceful-ness,
the band
men believed that
he might manage
to do something
to help them out,
but when two
days later there
appeared a new
series of posters,
still more flam-boyant,
announc-ing
"daylight fire-works”
at Ver-ner’s
grove, they almost lost hope.
Tom Turner brought in one of the new
posters, which he had torn from the
-Ida of a barn. To hla astonishment
a
SERIES OF NEW
POSTERS.
Cadet Haynes proceeded to paste the
poster on the courthouse wall. This
caused the trombone to growl that
Haynes must be “a-standin' in with
Verner.”
"Don't you worry,” replied the cadet.
"These posters will help to draw a
crowd, and we’ll get that crowd.”
The band men could not exactly see
the point, but they let the poster stay
on the wall and decided to take their
chances. The cadet urged them to pre
pare a rousing big dinner.
“The whole county will be here,” he
said with enthusiasm. “I am banking
on our having to feed at least 5,000,
and you must have plenty of grub.”
Long rustic tables to seat a thousand
people at a time were erected In the
courthouse yard. A hundred young
men and women volunteered to act as
waiters.
Martin Verner had made similar
preparations in his grove. To the pub-lic
the most interesting part of Ver-ner’s
arrangements was a long trench
dug in the middle of the grove two
feet deep and three feet wide. This
was for the barbecuing of the beef.
Uncle Ike Jackson, an ancient negro
with a reputation as a skillful barbe-cuist
reaching back to tbe days before
the civil war, was engaged to superin-tend
tbe cooking of tbe beef. Old Ike
knew his business thoroughly, and he
would accept no suggestions when it
came to barbecuing.
Cadet Haynes called on the old ne-gro
the evening of the 3d of July. In
times past Uncle
Ike had done
many favors for
"young M a r s e
Hlury,” and the
boy had reward-ed
him well. The
two had a confi-dential
talk last-ing
an hour.
“Hee, hee, hee!”
laughed the old
man as Henry
emerged from his
cabin. Then he
doubled himself
up in a paroxysm
of glee.
Three things
Uncle Ike dearly
loved—money, a
joke and Cadet
Henry J. Haynes.
“Ah sho' will,
Marse Hinry; Ah
sho’ will!" he
called out as the
young man departed. “Hee, hee!”
Four fat beeves were slaughtered by
order of Martin Verner, cut in quarters
and carted to the edge of the barbecue
trench about midnight Several cords
of wood were dumped near by, with
plenty of kindling. Old Uncle Ike ar-rived
shortly after the beef quarters
were delivered on the ground. With
him was a tall young darky, a stran-ger
in town.
“DIs boy mah fust assistant,” ex-plained
Uncle Ike to his employer.
‘‘Ah gwine larn him how to barbecue."
For several hours tbe two men
worked, preparing the meat and the
fire. The trench was half filled with
cordwood and kindling. Iron rods
were lnld across the trench, and upon
these were placed the quarters of beef.
“Dat triflin’ cullud boy done lit out,"
said Uncle Ike to Verner, who came
down early to see If everything was
going well.
He declared that everything was in
readiness and he did not need further
help. The crowd began arriving about
9 o’clock. One old farmer expressed
surprise that the meat was not al-ready
cooking. He declared that it
should have been started at midnight.
“Takes twelve hours to barbecue meat
right,” he insisted. But the towns-people
told him that Uncle Ike knew
perfectly well what he was doing.
About 10 o’clock the Burnsville Brass
band marched into the grove playing
“Yankee Doodle.” Cadet Haynes, in
full uniform, marched in front as drum
major. When he reached the ropes he
made a peculiar motion with his stick,
Uncle Ike at once lighted the fires un-derneath
the beef, applying the match
at half a dozen points. Then he picked
up a pail and started for the spring
as if to get water.
Suddenly there was a ripping, pop-ping.
sound. Old soldiers in the crowd
"WE LL GET THAT
CROWD.”
were reminded of the skirmishes dur-ing
the sixties. It was like an uneven
volley fire of musketry or the crac-kling
discharge of a Gatling gun. Now
and then the popping was punctuated
by a roar like that of a small cannon.
Gront clouds of ashes and odoriferous
smoke arose from the barbecue trench.
From time to time one of the beef
quarters appeared to split open, splut-tering
wildly; then It flew into the air.
the fragments falling into the scat-tered
dirt from the trench. A piece of
beef with n splintered fragment of
bone attached fell at the feet of a man
near the ropes. He picked It up and
sniffed at it.
"Whew!" he ejaculated.
“Dat iow down nlggah boy mus’
a-done sumpin’ to dem beefs when I
tole him to poah de vinegar on ’em.”
said Uncle Ike.
An hour later, while the investiga-tion
was still going on, the band struck
up “A Hot Time In the Old Town”
and began marching back to the court-house.
Tile crowd fell in. It was fine
marching music. Besides, the people
were hungry.

Mount Plonannt has within its borders a population of over
6,000; 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 postoiHce distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryco 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 gntos 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
in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.
THURSDAY,
REASON FOR QUIET FOURTH.
Everything seems to indicate that
«ount Pleasant will have a quiet Fourth
if July, barring, of course, the private
:onsumption ot fireworks; that is to say,
10 steps have been taken looking to a
public celebration of this greatest day
n our history as a nation. THE JOURNAL
egrets this failure to observe the holi-lay,
but the town has a good excuse.
To talk about a Fourth of July blow-
>ut without a baseball match, races and
lindred sports would be like giving the
flay of "Hamlet" with the melancholy
Jane left out, and we have no suitable
[rounds for outdoor athletics. Give us
i few enclosed acres of the old Neel or
gumbaugh farms on the North Side, and
Mount Pleasant will never see her young
ions and daughters hunting good amuse-nent
in neighboring towns on holidays
>r at any other time.
GOOD PUNISHMENT.
Imprisonment for life is the penalty
which Representative Kennedy, of Ohio,
proposes shall be inflicted on agents of
:he Black Hand and kidnappers whouse
[he mails of the United States for their
lefarious purposes. He introduced in
he House at Washington Thursday last
l bill providing such punishment.
The bill provides that recipients of
inch mail who fail to turn it back to the
postmaster for investigation shall be
liable to $100 fine.
The Black Hander is a very undesira-fle
citizen and such punishment as pro-posed
by Congressman Kennedy seems
sxactly right. For, people who do time
for this crime will never be missed.
BURGESS COLLINS is to be commended
jr enforcing the ordinance requiring
wners of dogs within the borough to
ay a dollar license tax for each canine,
eople who can see the use or take
leasure in keeping a dog in town
lould be glad of the chance to help pay
le public expense to extent of a shiner.
. pet or guard of this kind that isn t
orth a dollar a year can be spared very
:adily.
HIGH AUTO SPEED.
The passage of automobiles along local
reets is of such frequent occurrence
at but little attention is paid to them
r any one. Many have drivers who
n with care and well within the speed
nit of twelve miles an hour. But there
e other machines at whose wheels are
tauffeurs who seem to have only one
iject and that is to see how fast they
n go without being caught by a po-
:eman.
It is this latter class that is badly in
;ed of correction at the hands of Bur-ss
Collins who might impose a little
If-punishment for the way he brings
e O. P. Shupe White steamer up town
sort of pressing the limit as it were.
Only a few weeks ago a local autoist,
ien he had his machine well in hand,
n over a boy who really ran into the
to. The lad escaped with a few
uises, but the owner of the machine
ill remember the awful shock he got
r many a day. And, he is a careful
iver. The time for the authorities to
t is before there is a fatality.
EVEN if he tried, H. C. Frick couldn't
be anything but generous.
FRIGHTFUL PRICE TO PAY.
A few days ago in the Chinatown sec-tion
of New York City, in a room occu-pied
by Leon Ling, a young Chinaman
supposed to have been christianized,
was found the dead body of Elsie Sigef,
a pretty American girl and granddaugh-ter
of General Sigel, a famous German
officer of the Civil war, who worked
with her mother as a missionary among
Gotham’s Chinese population.
The generally accepted story of the
tragedy, as learned by the police, is that
July 1. 1909.
the victim, after teaching Ling in a
mission school, had permitted him to
pay her marked attention as a would-be
lover. Jealous of a wealthy fellow-coun-tryman
who was also much attached to
this fair teacher, Ling invited her to his
apartments where he smothered the poor,
foolish girl to death and then, doubling
up tho body, hid in a trunk before he
left for parts so far unknown by alert
officers of the law all over this country.
It is not surprising to learn that the
dead girl’s mother is in a sanitarium on
the verge of insanity, nor that the Amer-ican
people are horrified to learn from
an authority that more women are ru-ined
in mission work of this kind than
there are alleged Chinese conversions.

And bought a good supply of meat,
For which a settlement he made
With the money the honest workman
paid.
P. S.— The local dealer who's up to snuff
Will always advertise his stuff.
Sides the Same.
Oonnellsville Courier.
The public weal should always be sub-ordinated
to private interests in the
transaction of public business. We fear
there are times when the Town Council-men
get this rule mixed.
Connellsville Wants to ho Good.
Oonnellsville News.
It is to be hoped the Sunday school
workers will find Connellsville a con-vention
city deserving of recommenda-tion
to County Superintendent Lewellyn
and the teachers’ institute managers.
Will Continue Poor.
Unfontown People’s Tribune.
What profiteth it the poor man if the
tariff be made less upon the clothes that
he putteth upon his back or the food
that goeth into his mouth if a propor-tionate
tax be levied upon the income
with which he buyetH these things?
Timid Greensburg Cops.
Greensburg Argus.
A motor has been invented that can
go a million miles a minute, says a Pitts-burg
contemporary. Back up! We have
lots of 'em right here in Greensburg,
and the police are afraid to tackle ’em
even when going several miles less than
that per hour.
Income Tax the Thing.
Greensburg Star.
What is easier to pass on to the con-sumer
than a tax on the net earnings of
corporations? It is only necessary to
increase the price of what the corpora-tion
deals in. But an income tax, cannot
be shitted. It must be paid by the man
who gets the income. This is why the
G. O. P. dislikes it.

Verse 36—la It generally necessary
to follow up any good work which we
have commenced if wo would make it
a success?
Verses 37-39—Would It havo been
wiser If Marnnhas had first consulted
Paul In the matter of taking Mark?
Barnabas was a relative of Mark:
are we as good Judges of the fitness
of our relatives for an office as we are
of the Illness of others? Why?
Why Is nepotism In government ap-pointments,
looked upon with suspi-cion
?
Had Paul, probably, good reason for
objecting to taking John and Mark
with them? (Sco Acts xtll: 13.>
If a man shows lack of courage, or
tact, or faithfulness, In one position,
does that disqualify him In any meas-ure,
from getting another, or from
success when In another position?
If both Paul and Barnabas had beeo
duplicates of the man Jesus, would
there have been this quarrel between
them, and how would the matter like-ly
have been settled? (This question
must be answered by members of the
club.)
When two Christians fall out, Is one
or both always to hi' blamed?
Verses 40-41—Did the dispute be-tween
these men work out for good,
ns it resulted In two missionary dep-utations
Instead of one?
By any process of reasoning can
you conclude that God was back of
this dispute, between these two godly
men, so as to bettor work out Ills
purposes?
Chap. yvI:t-3— Should ministers,
and other’ Christians, be on the look-out
for young men who are lilted for
fhe ministry, the same as business
men are lor good salesmen?
What, can you sav for, or against
Paul circumcising Tlmotheus, In view
of the decision of the council at Jeru-salem?
(See Acts xv:l-29.)
In matters of habit, or ceremony,
or non-essentials, Is it well for us to
give way to the views of others, sink-ing
our own preferences when we can
accomplish good by so doing? For
example, you may oppose wearing
"pigtails" in this country, with wis-dom,
and yet to refuse to wear one In
China may be groat folly.
Verses 4-5—What were the “decrees
of the elders which
were at Jerusalem,” and are these
binding upon the church today? (See
Acts xv: 28-29.)
Is a church better with or without
an elaborate creed?
What did Jesus teach which Is not
included In righteousness, and the I
constant vision of God?
Will a church sound "in the faith,"
always be a magnet to draw others
to It?
Verses 6-8—Why did the Holy Spirit
forbid them to preach In Asia and
Blthynia, and would they have sinned
had they done so?
When we are hindered providential-ly
from doing certain good works, Is
that the Holy Spirit hindering us?
Verses 9-10—How many methods
does God adopt In leading us?
Does God in pvery emergency give
us some sure guidance as to what we
ought to do?
Was this vision just as clear a call
from God, as though he had spoken
personally?
Verses 11-12—Does God direct the
course of the Christian with absolute
certainly, notwithstanding wind or
sea?
Verse 13—What Is one of the first
things an earnest Christian looks out
immtty?
Are women generally in the major-ity
as earnest Christians?
Verse 1 I Are busy women gener-ally

Should nil girls be taught to earn

Is II easier for God to open the

Paul’s Second Missionary Journey—
The Philippian Jailer. Acts xvl: 16-40.
The ugly burdock, which often mars
the looks of back yard or alley, may be
exterminated by cutting Hie root of the
old plants below the crown with a
spado and by hoeing over the little
chaps. Patches of nettle, which be-long
to the root stalk family, should
not only be kept from going to seed,
but the entire root system should be
dug from the soil, allowed to dry in
the sun and burned. If tlicro lire small
patches of quack grass In the garden
they should be handled in the same
way, as any joint of root left in the
ground will start growing.
The economic prostration of tho In-habitants
of the wlieut growing sec-tions
of India Is duo in part to variable
and uncertain ruins, with ensuing
drought and famine, and ns largely to
the very crude and primitive methods
which are sUll followed In the han-dling
of the soil and harvesting of (ho
crop. In tho former operations tho
crudest kind of plows are used, which
barely scratch the ground, the grain is
thrashed by the feet of oxen and sop
nrated from the chaff by hand win-nowing
in the wind. So low is the
yield that in fat years there is not
enough grain produced to tide the peo-t,
i« over seasons of drought.
This Is pre-eminently the day of
specialisation. In no field of activity
does It fetch larger returns than in
agriculture. The agricultural colleges
of the country running full blast can-not
turn these specialists out fast
enough to supply the demand, ami that
at remunerative salaries from the
start.
Any factor which tends to discour-age
grain raising and encourages a
diversified agriculture In its stead can
hardly he viewed in any other light
than n blessing.
Bean weevils will give very little
bother If the crop is not planted be-fore
Juno 15. Another advantage of
tills time of planting Is tho opportunity
which it gives of swiping a horde of
weeds.

Mrs. N. A. Moyemont, 531 Washington

can heartily recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills as a cure for weak backs or any
kidney or bladder disorder. Before I
began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills, which
I procured at Chas. L, Kuhn's drug store,
I was almost prostrated by an extremely
lame back. I also sufiered irom head-aches
and lassitude and my kidneys
were very much disordered. I used
one box of Doan's Kidney Pills and the
relief has been so great that I advise the
use of this remedy to anyone suffering
from kidney trouble.”

"The waiter took them out to have
them blacked," explained the Ruble.
"She will either bring them hack or
else leave them down there with the
others."
It was necessary to hurry through
Sinner somewhat, for the Teijo Maru
sailed at three.
Neville spoke about Ills shoes two
or three times, Insistently, and they
were brought back to him In a few
moments.
When the two foreigners left for
the boat, Unrdy made a pretty parting
speech to Alsome, which Masatsura
translated.
At the wharf he was arrested again.
He was thoroughly disgusted and
threatened to mnke trouble, but, to
tell the truth, his rage was somewhat
mollified by the fact that he might
see Alsome again, and that he would
not be compelled to pass a week or so
longer In the Englishman's company.
Nevertheless, hp said to him on part-ing:
"If this thing keeps on, I shall
begin to share your opinion of the
Japanese.”
Hardy was clapped Into a room
overlooking the sea, from the window
of which he could see the Teijo Maru
steaming out Into the purple distance.
An elaborate and dainty dinner was
brought to him in the evening, and
about ten that night he was escorted
to the wharf again. A tiny figure,
muffled in a cloak, was walling there,
and the others stepped aside as this
person approached.
"1 hope you are not vexed with me,"
said a familiar voice in the well-modu-lated
accents of an educated woman.
“Alsome!" cried Hardy.
“Yes, Alsome.”
I “Rut—but—you speak English.”
I “Yes, I am a graduate of Vassnr
college and now in the service of my
country. Listen—1 have only a mo-ment
and 1 feel that I would like to
make you an explanation. Your com-panion
was a Russian spy. The plans
of the forts, oft oiled paper, were
found between the soles of his right
shoe. It was he, no doubt, who put
the copy of them in your pocket, hav-ing
learned that lie was under sus-picion
and would soon be arrested. It
was he, I am sure, who entrapped you
Into taking a photograph of the forts.
You are under suspicion and would
have been In terrible danger, had you
gone with him. You will sail, now, on
another ship and will be safe.”
“He will be in danger!” said Hardy,
mystified. “What sort of danger?"
"Did I say that he would be in dan-ger?"
asked Alsome, sweetly. “No,
I said that you would have been in
danger. We have taken the plans of
the forts away from him, but he still
has them in his head—and—-and—
perhaps you have, but 1 do not think
so—a man who could spaak so beauti-fully
of a woman.”
“Rut why are you doing all this for
me?" asked Hardy.
"Why? Recause I am a woman, I
suppose. Recause you have said there
Is moonlight in my cheeks, that my
lips are ripe cherries, that I am made
of gold dust, that I am a queen of
fairy-land. I am known as 'the Fox,’
but I have a woman's silly heart and
cannot resist flattery.” There was
something elfln-like In her beauty as
she stood there with her face raised
to his in the moonlight. “Old Sano
says my head is turned,” she sighed,
"but it is easy to wheedle him."
“Sano? He is not your father,
then?"
j “No, he is my suprior in the secret
service. And now good-by; you may
'kiss me once, if you really meant
/ what you said. It will be the only
kiss of my life, as it is not the cus-tom
of my country.”
She raised her lips to him and he
( stooped and kissed her. The lips
were dewy and very sweet, and he
was conscious of some subtle perfume,
as if she herself were some exquisite
flower.
“Good-by," she whispered, “and
think sometimes of the little Lilac
Blossom!”
She turned and was gone, and he
stepped into the boat waiting to take
him out to the ship.
CHAPTER V.
At the Mercy of the Waves.
The crew of the Shikoku Maru con-sisted
of five persons; the captain, the
engineer and three sailors. They were
wue nrsc nuny, unkempt Japanese that
Hardy had seen. One of them, a
^hock-headed boy, who seemed to
jbave brought to sea with him all the
pmells of Chinatown, came and stood
/by the American’s side and gazed Into
j his face with insatiable, devouring
) curiosity. Hardy was watching the
/ twinkling lights of the town and think-
{ ing of Alsome, with whom he had
been thrown so brief a time, yet who
had played such a large part (n his
life and left such an Indelible Impres-sion
on his memory.
The lights grew fewer, fading in the
distance one by one.
“It might be as well,” mused Hardy,
“to make myself as agreeable as pos-sible
to these Japs. I am alone with
them in the middle of the sea, and I
heard rumors in Yokohama that, .de-spite
tneir exquisite politeness, tney
hate all Caucasians. Perhaps Also-me—
but no, she certainly was sincere.
I wonder where Neville Is now?" The
American felt In Ills hip pocket and
was comforted by the cold touch of
his revolver handle. The reflection
that he was one of the most famous
amateur shots in America gave him a
distinct feeling of security. He was
conscious of a sense of danger, he
could not tell why, which he could not
quite satisfy by the reflection that
such a feeling was natural to a man
situated as he found himself at the
present moment.
The lights were all gone now. That
one yonder, at which he had been
gazing so long and which did not fade,
was a star, he was quite sure. He
turned and walked forward to where
the captain was talking with one of
the sailors, and indicated, by laying
his cheek on his open palm, that he
was sleepy and would like to go to
bed. The captain, with sudden com-prehension
and many exaggerated
gestures of politeness, led him to a
hatch and opened the door. Hardy
saw a ladder and as much of the dark,
roomy hold as a lantern hanging from
a beam could illuminate. The cap-tain
went down the ladder and Hardy
followed. Had he been able to speak
Japanese, or to mnke himself In any
way understood, he would have ob-jected
to sleeping below, would have
explained that he preferred to wrap
And Opened the Door.
himself in a blanket and remain on
deck whore the air was purer. Rut
he did not think it best to antagonize
these men, in whose power he so
completely was.
The captain took down the lantern
and opened the door. The cabin into
which he led the way was nearly semi-circular
in shape, as it was bounded
by a partition across the hull and the
walls of the ship's stern. A cushioned
divan extended in a semi-circle around
the rear end, there was a carpet on
the floor and furniture in the form of
a table over which was swung a din-ing
rack, and a couple of chairs. The
captain made an inclusive, hospitable
gesture, accompanied by a low salaam.
Hardy's mind was relieved.
The divan looked comfortable, so
he lay down on It and composed him-self
for Bleep. He woke up about an
hour later on the floor. The wind was
rising and the increased plunging of
the boat had rolled him from his
couch.
He spread his blankets on the floor,
lay down and soon dozed off. He was
awakened a second time by a cold
Btream of water, spouting full upon
him with terrible force. He jumped
to his feet, only to be thrown sprawl-ing.
The little vessel, which was light,
was rolling from rail to rail, and the
water had coughed in through the
opened port-hole. A sudden fear that
the ship would founder and that he
would be drowned, cooped up there in
the cabin, seized him and he leaped,
clambering, for the port-hole. It waB
not far above him, but ere he could
reach it, it was below him and he was
thrown toward it, receiving a second
waterspout full in thq face, drenching
him to the skin. But he was as active
as a monkey and succeeded in thrust-ing
an arm through the opening. He
hung on with a will, and as his side
of the vessel hove into the air again,
slammed the window to and gave a
few frantic whirls to the screw, suf-ficient
to make it catch and form a
solid object to which he could hold.
He secured the window and rolled to
the floor, where he rested on hands
and knees, with his limbs spread out
as widely as possible to keep himself
from rolling about, while he took
stock of the situation. Enough water
had come in to drench him thorough-ly
and to wet his blankets and bag-gage,
but not sufficient to flood the
floor of the hold.
He crawled to the door and tried to
open It. but to his surprise found it
locked. He pounded on it and shouted,
but to no avail. This discovery
aroused In him again the sense of
danger, and (he face of Alsome, as he
had seen It In Ills dream in the train,
took shape before the eyes of Ills
memory. Seizing the knob of the
door, he threw his entire weight
agnlnBt It several times, wllh the in-tention
of breaking It in, but, to his
surprise, it offered unexpected resist
ance. As he stood thus, still holding
to the knob and wondering why he
bad been made a prisoner, there was
a horrible grinding, grating sound; the
ship shuddered ns though wounded to
the death, and the stern rose high In
the air and remained thus. Hardy
know this from the fact that he was
now almost lying on the door, ngalnst
which, a moment ago, lie bail been
leaning. The grinding continued, ac-companied
by bumps and siblings,
giving him very much the same sen-sation
that ho had once experienced
In a building that was being shaken
by an earthquake. The waves, over
which she bad but now been leaping
with long, free strides, pounded
against her with terrific and angry
violence.
"My God!” gasped Hardy, "we have
run upon a rock and I shall be
drowned here like a rat In a hole, If
they not let me out! Open this
door! Hello! Open, I say!"
CHAPTER VI.
A Terrible Hour.
The ship had evidently ridden part-ly
over the rock or reef upon which
it was perched and was resting at an
angle with nose downward. This was
fortunate, because It precluded any
Immediate danger of drowning. Har-dy’s
position was uncomfortable in
that there was not a level surface In
the entire room for him to rest on.
Man, Inferior In this respect to a cat
or a fly or a worm, becomes next to
helpless when his standing-ground Is
tilled.
There was at last a more violent
upheaval than nny before. The ship
plunged and settled, leaving the cate
in floor nearly level. Hardy sprang
to his feet.
“She has either broken her back,”
he cried, “or she has gone over the
rewf and settled in the shallows!”
She listed to port and rocked gently
from side to side, rendering It Impos-sible
for him to stand without bolding
to something. And now the water,
which had been pouring into the for-ward
part of the hold, came seething
fdmn beneath and around the door
and through the cracks of the parti-tion.
Every time the ship listed to
starboard, It reached a tiny knot hole
and spouted for several feet in a
hissing stream.
“She has settled on the bottom,”
muttered Hardy; "she will hold now,
she will hold! The water can’t pos-sibly
rise high enough to drown me.
I will climb on the table, on the di-van.”

The Bose.
O roselthou queen of all the flowers,
Thou unto me most precious art;
So brief thy reign through June's long
hours,
But dear thy message to my heart.
Thy beauty, robed in garments fair,
With fragrance perfectly combined,
High skill of the Great Artist bear,
Product of the Eternal Mind.
A gracious language thou doth speak,
Of love, in accents sweet and clear,
Red as a blushing maiden’s cheek,
O listning soul! canst thou not hear?
Though close beneath thee grow the
thorns,
Sharp irritators of the flesh,
Forgotten are the scars, in morns
When seen thy form with dew drops
fresh.
Although upon the bush of life
Afflictions piercing thorns may grow,
Parer the heart-rose through the strife,
Sweeter the love it doth bestow.
Make each of us, Gardner Divine,
A rose of righteousness to be,
That we may shed, as flowers of
Thine,
Love's fragrance through eternity.
