LEFT CUMBERLAND, MD„ MONDAY AND EXPECT TO REACH MOUNT PLEAS-ANT IN ABOUT A WEEK. In a Letter to This Paper Mr. Lacock Proposes to have Several of his Fel-low Travelers Lecture Here on that Famous Route, the Proceeds to be Used in Providing' Local Markers of the old Road. His Suggestion 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.

Miss Laura Wissinger, a Local Student at a Chicago Conservatory. Miss Laura Wissinger is another of Mount Pleasant's fair daughters who is making good as a soprano singer. She 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. Young Lover Suicides. ^Teased by companions until insanely (jealous, Frank J. Anker, 18 years old, of Loyalhanna, removed his arms from around the waist of his sweetheart.

The contractor has tools and some men already here. “MARY t MACK Copyright, 1909, by American Press Association It was a cracker, the last of a pack— Some punk—and a match—and our little boy Jack— Oh, dear me! Perfectly harmless when separate, why Did they happen to meet on the Fourth of July? Oh, dear me! Little boy Jack had no harm in his head When he happened to pause by the big canna bed— Oh, dear me! Jack is a good little boy, and he knew Those cannas were dear to the heart of Aunt Sue— Oh, dear me! COKE AND COAL. Was it the cracker that whispered to Jack, “Make the most of me, the last of the pack?” Oh, dear me! Did it suggest, “Stuck on top of a canna, See how I’ll startle Aunt Sue and Aunt Hannah?” Oh, dear me! People who happened to pass in the road Saw with surprise some French cannas explode— Oh, dear me! As a finale it was a success; But—the sequel that followed perhaps you can guess! Oh, dear me! 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 Markham, William Penn,Thomas Lloyd, John Blackwell, An- drew Hamilton, Ed ward Shippi'ii.

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. ■ • * * • • » “Now, gentlemen,”said Cadet Haynes at the band meeting after midnight. “I must take the 4 o’clock train for West Point this morning Furlough's u p But before I go I have a few lit-tle bills to pre-sent Verner hired an adver-tising sharp over a t Monndsburg to do his adver-tising, and that's why he didn't suspect anything when the day-light posters were put up.

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.

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.

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. You are More Independent when you have a check , ac-count.

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 more spiritual Ilian those who have but little to do? Should nil girls be taught to earn their own living? Is II easier for God to open the heart of nn Industrious person than that of an Idler? Verse 15 If a person Is Inhospit-able, or stingy, Is that a sure sign of ungodliness? Lesson for Sunday, July 11th, 1909. 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.

We Sell Them —— in THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1009. PICTURES 1ST . COPYRIGHT /SOS THC *3Y GEO£GE HORTON aOBSS-SirXRJLL COMPANY "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.” [TO BH coifTminxD.J Western Pennsylvania Classical and Scien-tific Institute.

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.

Lacock, of Cam-bridge, Mass., and Party. LEFT CUMBERLAND, MD„ MONDAY AND EXPECT TO REACH MOUNT PLEAS-ANT IN ABOUT A WEEK. In a Letter to This Paper Mr. Lacock Proposes to have Several of his Fel-low Travelers Lecture Here on that Famous Route, the Proceeds to be Used in Providing' Local Markers of the old Road. His Suggestion 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.

Evans, of St. Louis, Missouri, was here last week visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Evans. Mrs. D. C. Rumbaugli and Miss Anna Shupe have just returned from a two weeks’ visit paid the former's brother, Robert G. Duncan, near Shippensburg. Mrs. H.

Miss Laura Wissinger, a Local Student at a Chicago Conservatory. Miss Laura Wissinger is another of Mount Pleasant's fair daughters who is making good as a soprano singer. She 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. Young Lover Suicides. ^Teased by companions until insanely (jealous, Frank J. Anker, 18 years old, of Loyalhanna, removed his arms from around the waist of his sweetheart. Smma Sonnefelt, of the Fifth ward, La- 1 trobe, Friday night and, producing a re-volver from his pocket, sent a bullet crashing through his brain. The girl grabbed the smoking revolver and would have shot herself had not her brother taken the weapon from her. Slow Meeting of Council. Council held a continued meeting Tues-day evening, but did nothing except talk over the question of brick for street paving. Contractor Pietro presented his bond which was referred to Solicitor Cort, with whose approval and ihe sign ing up of the contract, work on the pav ing of Eagle and West Walnut streets and College avenue will begin early next week. The contractor has tools and some men already here. “MARY t MACK Copyright, 1909, by American Press Association It was a cracker, the last of a pack— Some punk—and a match—and our little boy Jack— Oh, dear me! Perfectly harmless when separate, why Did they happen to meet on the Fourth of July? Oh, dear me! Little boy Jack had no harm in his head When he happened to pause by the big canna bed— Oh, dear me! Jack is a good little boy, and he knew Those cannas were dear to the heart of Aunt Sue— Oh, dear me! COKE AND COAL. Was it the cracker that whispered to Jack, “Make the most of me, the last of the pack?” Oh, dear me! Did it suggest, “Stuck on top of a canna, See how I’ll startle Aunt Sue and Aunt Hannah?” Oh, dear me! People who happened to pass in the road Saw with surprise some French cannas explode— Oh, dear me! As a finale it was a success; But—the sequel that followed perhaps you can guess! Oh, dear me! 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 Markham, William Penn,Thomas Lloyd, John Blackwell, An- drew Hamilton, Ed ward Shippi'ii.

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. ■ • * * • • » “Now, gentlemen,”said Cadet Haynes at the band meeting after midnight. “I must take the 4 o’clock train for West Point this morning Furlough's u p But before I go I have a few lit-tle bills to pre-sent Verner hired an adver-tising sharp over a t Monndsburg to do his adver-tising, and that's why he didn't suspect anything when the day-light posters were put up.

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. THE TOWN THAT PUSH BUILT II.—The Sensible Grocery Man HERE is the grocery man who got The money for things the work-man bought, And while he still was feeling glad He read the local butcher's ad. He quickly hurried down the street 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.

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. You are More Independent when you have a check , ac-count.

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 more spiritual Ilian those who have but little to do? Should nil girls be taught to earn their own living? Is II easier for God to open the heart of nn Industrious person than that of an Idler? Verse 15 If a person Is Inhospit-able, or stingy, Is that a sure sign of ungodliness? Lesson for Sunday, July 11th, 1909. 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.

We Sell Them —— in THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1009. PICTURES 1ST . COPYRIGHT /SOS THC *3Y GEO£GE HORTON aOBSS-SirXRJLL COMPANY "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.” [TO BH coifTminxD.J Western Pennsylvania Classical and Scien-tific Institute.

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. FRANK B. MYERS.
