Or Rather Whose Make of
Block to Purchase.
GLOBE PEOPLE’S BID IS THE LOWEST
WITH THE AMERICAN AND TORONTO
COMPANIES CLOSE FOLLOWERS.
Council Did Little Else at its Tues
day Evening’s Meeting After Dis-cussing
the Above Question Except
Grant Orders Covering June Bills.
Burgess Collins Comes to the Front
With $160.90 ns the Town’s Share
of the Receipts of his Office (or Last
Month, Making a Total of $740
for First Quarter of his Term.
Council held its regular monthly
meeting Tuesday evening, but did lit-tle
outside of granting orders covering
June bills except to discuss the ques-tion
of brick for paving Eagle and
West Walnut streets and College ave-nue
without coming to any conclusion
beyond deciding to use a fire clay
block and a 6x26-inch curb on all
three streets.
The contest has narrowed down to
three makers of Ohio fire clay blocks—
the Globe, American Sewer Pipe and
Toronto concerns. They all make a good
article as Messrs. Swartz, Stoner, Hen-derson
and Benford admit after a perso-nal
visit paid the different plants last
week. The Globe people are the lowest
in price by a fraction of a cent on the
square yard and have, if there is any
difference, the best blocks as they are
now working in the best part of the clay
vein that makes a block light in color,
the only objection.
The bond of Thoney Pietro, the Mor-gantown,
West Virginia, contractor who
will do all the work, was returned to
have some slight changes made in the
wording as recommended by Solicitor
Cort, but Mr. Pietro was permitted to
begin sewer excavating yesterday.
Burgess Collins came to the front with
$166.90. the town's share of the June re-ceipts
of his office. This brings his total
for the first quarter up to $740.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Corn Plower and Team Almost Drop Into
a Coal Mine.
Arthur Baker, who works for young
Robert Love in Mount Pleasant town-ship,
had an exciting experience the
other day while plowing corn in a field
where the ground is but a few feet thick
over the coal that is being mined by the
Veteran Coke Company.
On one round he imagined he was
sinking and a startled glance showed a
crack in the surface and both he and the
team were with the circular depression.
He yelled to the horses that sprang to
the solid earth, drawing the cultivator
and badly scared driver out just as the
whole thing dropped some six or more
fed!t.
The miners, who were making a “fall,”
and had stepped back of the safety posts,
viitre able to see out and talk to Arthur.
Tjfiey said they would have preferred to
(lave the corn in roasting ear.
Berg-Gretzinger.
At the home of the parents of the
bride, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gretzinger,
on College avenue, on Wednesday eve-ning,
June 30, at 7:30 o'clock, there oc-curred
a very pretty wedding, when
their daughter. Miss Emma Louise Gret-zinger,
was united in marriage to Rob-ison
Berg, also of this plaee. The mar-riage
ceremony was performed by the
Rev. R. L. Leatherman. The beautiful
ring service was used. There were about
forty invited guests present, who were
finely dined at a late hour in the eve-ning
with the many delicacies of the
season. The bride was remembered with
many beautiful and useful presents. The
happy young couple will make their
ho«pe in Mount Pleasant. The East End
dn|m corps gave them a lively serenad-ing
for which they were remembered.
Old Fisherman’s Luck.
Ex-Councilman Clark Walker and
Jharles Penn, chief -clerk at the I. R.
Smith department store, are home from a
' fishing expedition to the Great Capon in
West Virginia. The catch was very light
owing to high water. Mr. Walker had
hard luck from the time he started from
home carrying a suitcase and telescope,
each with two bricks carefully packed
in by fun-loving friends. To cap the
climax he fell into the river and came
within an ace of being drowned.

HOWTHE FOURTH WAS CELEBRATED HERE
There was no Special Program and Yet the Old Town Had
Something Going on and Enjoyed the Day.
HOW THE DAY WAS OBSERVED IN OTHER TOWNS.
Despite the fact that Uniontown robbed us ot Company E, N. G. P.,
while Connellsville took Overholt’s orchestra and both these towns with
Scottdale drew many private citizens to their celebrations, Mount Pleasant
had a number of things going on Monday, in a quiet way of course, but
enough to prove that the loyal old town didn’t forget Independence Day.
1 The weather was ideal, clear and cool.
I Vi, Westmoreland Outing Club played
number of games of tennis on the War-
I den South Side courts but in this sport
I the .Yount Pleasant Tennis Club carried
' off v' P. honors with a regular tournament
on its West End grounds. Lawrence
Pfaadt and Fred King won in the double
finals after a close and exciling contest
with Charles Yahn and Charles Freed.
In the single finals young Mr. Yahn got
satisfaction by defeating Howard Stoner.
There was shooting of firecrackers
throughout the day and a number of
private displays of fireworks at night,
although the small number of accidents
told of a sane Fourth or Fifth.
Randell Uber, younger son of Clark
E. Uber, the local contractor and build-er,
had a very exciting time while shoot-ing
firecrackers on Mrs. Flora Lane’s
East Washington street porch. His
older brother was operating a toy can-non
and had spilled a lot of powder on
the floor that went oft promptly when
Randell touched it with his punk. The
little fellow's clothes caught fire and he
would have been burned to death had
had not Mrs. Lane, who was sitting near
by, ran to his assistance, smothering out
the flames. The boy was severely
scorched, but was able to be out playing
again in a short time.
Abe. F. Eiclier, the West Washington
street painter, fearing to trust his son,
Charles, to light a skyrocket, tried the
trick himself. It wouldn’t go up, but it
did blow out and burn the operator's
right hand to the extent of one dollar's
worth of surgical attention.
It is claimed that fully 30,000 visitors
were at Uniontown Monday attending
the oldtime Independence Day celebra-tion.
The decorating committee had
Main street painted red, white and blue
for three-quarters of a mile. The indus-trial
parade was over two miles in
length. At a reviewing stand R. W. Ir-
Gold Medal Contest.
Miss Trout and her , Greensburg class
will give a gold medal contest here
Thursday evening of next week under
W. C. T. U. auspices.
win, of Washington, gave the principal
address. Rev. Dr. W, Hamilton Spencer
read the Declaration of Independence
and Rev. F. W. Beekman read Lincoln’s
Gettysburg address. Professor John Ken-nedy
Lacock, of Harvard University,
delivered an historical address on “Gen-eral
Braddock’s March." A balloon as-cension,
foot race for boys and fireworks
completed the program.
Connellsville had a big celebration in
honor of Greater Connellsville and In-dependence
Day. Buildings were deco-rated
and the principal paved streets
were painted red, white and blue from
curb fo curb. At 10 o'clock a parade
started. In line were the mounted po-lice,
paid fire department, Colonel J. M.
Reed, chief marshal, and 50 aids on
horseback, the Tenth Regiment band,
automobiles, Civil war veterans in car-riages,
civic and secret orders, 50 floats
and a fantastic division. A bear in the
fantastic division got away but was re-captured
before any damage was done.
At the close of the parade ex-Mayor W.
H. Coleman, of McKeesport, delivered
the Fourth of July address. There were
athletic sports at M. & S. Park aud a
pyrotechnical display in the evening.
The balloon ascension billed as the
feature of the Independence Day cele-bration
at Jeannette Monday had to be
abandoned owing to an accident. Just
as the balloon began to ascend someone
in the crowd of spectators stepped on a
rope operating the knife used to release
the parachute. The parochute unex-pectedly
left the balloon and the aero-nut,
clinging to a trapeze attached to it,
had a fall of 15 feet. The balloon went
up about 500 feet, overturned and re-turned
to the earth.
Scottdale was right in the celebration
swim, too, with a big parade, band con-certs,
athletic contests, balloon ascen-sions
and fireworks at night.
DEATHS OF THE WEEK.
The Grim Reaper’s Work in This Place and
Vicinity.
Daniel Worman Keister, a Mount
Pleasant boy who was a son of Daniel
Keister, Sr., died suddenly of heart
trouble at his Salem, Oregan, home on
June 8, aged almost 63 years. He was
married first to Miss Christina Miller
here in 1866. Mrs. Keister died at York,
Nebraska, in 1881, leaving six children,
of whom two sons and two daughters
survive. He marrjed Amelia Day at
Central City, Nebraska, in 1889, the sec-ond
Mrs. Keister surviving. He was a
member near the close of the Civil war
of Company B, 28th Regiment, Pennsyl-vania
Volunteers, and a cousin of Post-master
J. R. Zuck. He was a cabinet
maker by trade.
And a Good Cutter Himself.
Ernest Wakefield, of Wakefield &
Gemmell, has gone to Columbus, O.,
where he will be under the instruction
of Mr. Amon, a French ladies'tailor, who
had until lately been with Redfern, the
noted Paris tailor. Mr. Wakefield will
also take instruction from Mr. C. S. Mc-
Kee, treasurer of the International Cus-tom
Cutters' Association, and a man
cutter of national reputation.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered from Both Mine
and Yard.
Monday’s layoff cut into this week's
coke oulput that would otherwise have
been up to the labor limit.
A bad fire broke ont Wednesday eve-ning
in the big storage warehouse of the
Keystone Coal Company at Herminie.
The big building was almost totally de-stroyed,
causing a heavy loss to the
company.
Arrangements have been completed
for the annual basket picnic of the Frick
Veterans’ Association to be held Thurs-day,
July 22, at Oakford Park. Special
street cars will be run from Fairchance,
Uniontown, Connellsville, Leisenring
No. 3, Scottdale and Mount Pleasant for
the accommodation of the members and
their families. Elaborate arrangements
have been made for the day and the
outing promises to be as enjoyable as its
predecessors. There will be all kinds
of games for the amusement of the young
and old.
Frank Stark, the Green3burg contrac-tor,
is having the stone quarried to build
400 more ovens for the Mount Pleasant
Coke Company at its new Carpentertown
plant where there are already 100 in
blast.
Alleging the mining of the Cement
seam of coal, when it bad a right to
mine only the Miller seam, suit was
brought Thursday last at Somerset by
Joseph B. Miller, of Paint township,
against the Berwind-White Company,
for damages of $123,435. It is alleged,
also, that the surface of the land has
been damaged through careless mining
operations. This suit is similar to one
for over $1,000,000 brought against this
company recently by Mrs. Annie F. Ott,
of the same township.
J. M. Diftenbaugh, who has 4,000 acres
of coal in the Elkhorn, Kentucky, field,
has had a carload of the coal burned into
coke at the Frick company's Leckrone
plant nnder the supervision of John A.
Ramsay. Good results have been had.
An analysis of the coke produced shows
fixed carbon 90.13, ash 8.35, sulphur .51
and phosphorus .005.
William McCusker, the faithful and
efficient mine boss for the H. C Frick
Coke Company at Baggaley, was here yes-terday
on his return from a most enjoy-able
eight weeks’ trip to his boyhood
home at Dunferwline, Scottland.
CARPENTER KILLED.
Melvin P. Beck Meets Death by the Cars at
Greensburg.
Melvin P. Beck, a Pittsburg carpenter
working at Seward, while attempting to
board a moving passenger train at the
Greensburg station Friday evening fell
under the wheels and was so badly hurt
that he died shortly after being taken to
the county seat hospital.
The unfortunate man was 36 years old
and is survived by a wife and two small
children. He was a son of William
Beck, of near Hunker.
A very sad feature of the accident is
that he and his family had just returned
from Tarr where they buried one of
their children and where the father's
body was interred on Monday. His wife
and children expected to return to Pitts-burg
on the 5:30 p. m. train and were
standing on the platform when the acci-dent
happened.
AUTO TURNS SOMERSAULT
Killing Thomas Joyce, a Charleroi Grocer,
Near Connellsville.
Thomas Joyce, aged 35 years, a Char-leroi
grocer, was killed and Henry Fer-neise
and John Bisiel were severely cut
and bruised near Connellsville Sunday
morning by an auto running oft the road
on Limestone Hill and turning a somer-sault
into a ditch.
Morris Coulter and William Correll,
the chaufleur, were thrown ahead of the
machine to the soft ground of an em-bankment
and each escaped with a severe
shaking up.
The party, in Joyce's automobile, left
Charleroi early that morning with the
intention of spending the day in Somer-set.
While descending Limestone Hill
the chauffeur put on the brake to take a
slight curve, but did not notice a much
sharper curve just ahead. When the
machine turned over Joyce was caught
under the rear wheels.
Lively Church League Balt.
A riot ended the Church Baseball
League game at Uniontown last Wednes-day
afternoon between teams represent-ing
the Great Bethel Baptist and the
Methodist Protestant churches when
Harold Baer, a Waynesburg college man,
playing on the Baptist team, spiked Earl
Alexander at third base. Prosecutions
followed and, as this was the second dis-turbance,
the league will likely be dis-banded.
HAVE PRIVATE
CELEBRATION
At the Acme Coke Works on
the Last Lord’s Day.
IT WAS A STRICTLY FAMILY AFFAIR
AND THEY REALLY COULDN’T WAIT
UNTIL THE NEXT DAY.
When the Father Wouldn’t Allow
Son Joe to Take the Gun Out and
Shoot a Foreigner Joseph Declared
up and Down He’d Blow the Old
Man’s Leg off, but his Aim was
Bad and all he Could do was to Fill
one of his Younger Brother’s Un-derpins
With Lead. Suit for Ag-gravated
Assault and Battery Fails
to Stand.
The McManesses had a sort of pri-vate
celebration of their own at the
Acme coke works on Sunday last. It
was a family affair and they really
couldn’t wait until the next day to
pull the function off.
It seems that Joe, one of the boys,
aged about 18 years, had been somewhat
imposed upon by some foreigners about
the works and he wanted his father to
let him get the family shotgun and do a
little execution with lead. The elder
McManes refused and when the mad boy
persisted, Joseph got the bosom of his
pants spanked.
This treatment, so far from improving
the young man’s temper, caused him to
swear that he'd blow the old man’s leg
oft. so it is said. He got possession of
the weapon, too, but his aim was poor.
Instead of knocking a lower limb off his
parent, he filled a foot and ankle with
shot for his young brother, George, who
had to come to the local hospital for
repairs.
On learning of the tragedy, Constable
John Nugent went ont and arrested Joe
that evening on a warrant taken out be-fore
Justice Rhoades and charging ag-gravated
assault and battery. At the
hearing on Monday, however, the other
members of the family, the only wit-nesses,
testified to their belief that the
shooting was accidental and, as they
were willing to pay all costs, Justice
Rhoades had to dismiss the case.
Mrs. Reppert’s Will.
The will of the late Mrs. Rhoda Rep-pert,
of this place, has just been pro-bated
by her son, Hon. E. H. Reppert, of
Uniontown, who gets the two family
Bibles, $2,000 in cash and one-third of
the real estate. One-third of the same,
$2,000, household goods and jewelry go
to Mrs. Samuel Dennison, of this place,
her daughter, and the remaining one-third
to her grandson, Homer Deften-baugh,
when he reaches 25 years of age.
The total estate is valued at $17,500.
Weddings of the Week.
Arthur Gearhart, the handsome young
blacksmith, and Miss Caroline Morey,
the pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed-ward
Morey, were quietly wedded last
Wednesday evening at the Mellinger-town
home of the bride’s parents. Rev.
E. R. Deatrick, pastor of the First Re-formed
church, was the officiating cler-gyman.
Mr. and Mrs. Gearhart will
reside at Mellingertown.
Teachers’ Examination.
At Ligonier last Wednesday Profs.
Dugan and Shorthonse assisting, County
Superintendent Robert C. Shaw exam-ined
a class of some 70 for teachers' cer-tificates.
The lair Mount Pleasant rep-resentatives,
who had been taking special
courses in the summer school at Ligon-ier,
are Maolla Giles, Margaret Moran,
Maude Cuuningham Ola McLain and
Della DeVaux.
Family Christening.
Three grandchildren were christened
Sunday afternoon last at the Staufter
home of Superintendent and Mrs. Wil-liam
S. Ramsay, youngest children of
their daughters, Mrs. George Hill, of
Youngwood; Mrs. Robert Nicholson, of
Barnesboro, Pa., and Mrs. Ray Millward,
of Continental No. 2. Rev. K. J. Stewart,
pastor of the Re-Union Presbyterian
church, officiated.
A Sad Case.
The twin babies, born to Mr. and Mrs.
William Snyder, of near New Stanton, a
few days before, were killed Thursday
last by being given doses of morphine
in mistake for harmless medicine. Cor-orner
McMurray found death was acci-dental.
The parents are grief stricken.

BOWSERANDLOSTBOY
Entertains the Little Stranger In
His Home.
CHILD CAN “THROW” FITS.
After a Strenuous Evening Is Met by
Billy’s Mother and Is Accused of Kid-naping—
Philosopher’s Narrow Es-cape.
By M. QUAD.
[Copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary
Press.]
HEN Mr. Bowser reached
home from the office the
other evening Mrs. Bowser
had a bit of news for him.
Her church was going to give an en-tertainment
and she was on, one of
the committees that would meet that
evening.
“Well, I think I can manage some-how
to take care of the house
while you are gone," he replied, and
there wns no further discussion nbout
Jt. At 8 o’clock she wont her way,
leaving him smoking his cigar on the
front steps. She had been gone nbout
ten minutes when a boy about six
years old came crying along the street
and stopped at the Bowser gate and
wailed out that he was lost.
“Lost, eh?” queried Mr. Bowser as
he walked down the steps. “Can’t you
find your home, sonny?”
“N-no.”
“Well, come In and sit down on the
steps a minute. If it was Mrs, Bowser
she’d give you a cuff on the ear and
tell you to bent it, but I’m no such
man. Just wipe your tears away and
listen to me. What is your name?”
“I’m so hungry I can’t tell. Nothin’
t’ eat f’r two days.*’
“Good lands, but don’t tell me! If it
was Mrs. Bowser she'd say she was
glad of It, but I’m no Mrs. Bowser.
Come down to the dining room with
me.”
The cook had gone out five minutes
after Mrs. Bowser, awl so Mr. Bow-ser
opened the refrigerator and placed
“NOTHIN’ T’ EAT P’li TWO BAYS.”
whatever -he could find on the table.
There was enough to make a meal for
a hearty man, and the lost boy got
outside of the viunds iu ten minutes
and then looked around for more.
When he had topped off with three
large slices of bread and butter be was
asked:
“Now, then, your name is wbat?”
“Billy.”
“Billy what?”
“Billy B .”
He brought out bis last name so
plump that Mr. Bowser was startled
for a moment. It wns a cognomen not
generally found in city directories, and
ministers of the gospel are always a
little chary in referring to it.
“And what street do you live on?”
“Chestnut.”
“And you’ve been lost for two days?
Hasn’t any policeman offered to take
you home?”
“Num. Jest wanted to gimme de col-lar.”
“Dm! If Mrs. Bowser was here she’d
say you were a hoodlum, but I know
httHor Well, RITIv. vnn’ve borl a
supper, and I am ready to take you
home, l’our family must be terribly
anxious nbout you by this time. I pre-sume
It Is In the papers nbout your
being lost, though I haven’t seen It.”
“I don’t want to go home!” whined
the hoy.
“But you must, you know. Think of
the anxiety of your father and mother.
They don’t know but what you’ve been
kidnaped. Are you ready?”
“1 won’t go!”
“What! What!”
Throws a Fit.
The young cub slipped out of his
chair and throw a fit on the floor and
went Into such contortions that Mr.
Bowser was scared half to denth for
the next ten minutes, lie got the enm-phor
and bathed the boy’s forehend
vigorously, and his hands were chafed
and his old shoes pulled off, and it
seemed that a doctor must be sent for
when little Billy at last opened his
eyes.
“Thank heaven for this!” exclaimed
Mr. Bowser ns he fetched a great sigh
of relief. “Mrs. Bowser would have
let you die nnd thrown your body over
the fence, but I’ve got a heart instead
of a stone in my bosom. Do you have
these fits often. Billy?”
“Whenever I want to.”
“Dm! I've heard of such things.
Well, we'll go now.”
“I’ll t’row anodder fit!” warned the
boy.
“Don't you want to go home?”
“No. I want to stay here and play
wid your lmld head.”
Mr. Bowser gave a start of surprise
and flushed up. lie wns beginning to
feel that be had a job on hand. He
didn't Insist upon Billy's going home,
but invited him up to the sitting room,
nnd when they had reached it he said:
“Mrs. Bowser would have bumped
you out of the basement door, but I
am doing my duty by you. Do you go
to school?”
"Nit.”
“What does your father Avork at?”
"He gits full.”
“And beats and starves his family,
of course? Billy, did you ever hear of
the Bible?”
“Oh, come off!”
“And they are sending money to the
heathen of Africa nnd China! 1 wish
Mrs. Bowser wns here, hut she’d try to
get out of it somehow. Right here in a
Christian country and never heard of
the Bible. Here, what you doing?”
“Playin’ wid your bald head.”
“But you mustn’t do it.”
“But I will!”
Mr. Bowser held him off. nnd the re-sult
was another fit. There was no
camphor this time. The boy was lifted
on to the lounge and no attention paid
to him, and after five or six minutes

was followed by a second, third and
fourth, and he was wound up for a
hundred when Mr. Bowser bribed him
with a nickel to stop. When the ex-change
had been completed he wns of-fered
another nickel to go home. He
considered the offer for awhile and
then said:
“It's wurt a quarter, boss.”
“Now, look here, young sir,” replied
Mr. Bowser ns his face reddened up,
“it is evident that you take me for
some old guy. I don’t believe you are
lost at all.”
Billy started for him with fists dou-bled
up, but changed his mind and
turned and knocked a vase off a stand.
It crashed to the floor and was broken
into twenty pieces. He was seized by
the neck nnd vigorously shaken, but
be had his revenge. lie turned and bit
the shaker in the arm so fiercely that
he was dropped to the floor.
“You Infernal rat, hut I’ve a good
mind to twist your neck!” shouted Mr.
Bowser ns he danced around.
“I’ll t’row fits!”
“If you do I’ll throw you!”
“I’ll yell!”
“Yell away!”
Bowser Gets His Reward.
That last wns a poor bluff on Mr.
Bowser’s part. The kid set up such a
wolfish howling that u dime and a
nickel had to be crowded Into his hand
before he would choke off. Then he
offered to let his paternnl host take
him home if given a drink of milk
first. Mr. Bowser clattered down to
the refrigerator and brought up a full
bottle, and Billy never stopped to
draw a breath until the last drop was
gone. Then he announced his readi-ness
to go. and. tnkinc Mr Knwnar’0

Billy had just pointed out the tene-ment
in which he dwelt when a wom-an

“Kidnaper! Boy stealer! I'll have

A BETTER WAY.
If there is one portion of the country
more than another which has been
bankrupted with a ruinous system of
agriculture it is those sections of the
south which have been devoted to the
growing of cotton for the past thirty
to sixty years, with no change or let-up.
As a result of this shortsighted
policy lands that once possessed a mar-velous
virgin fertility have been so re-duced
that today they produce barely
half a bale of cotton per acre. Hand
in hand with this bankrupting of the
soil lias come a virtual reduction to
poverty of those who worked it, ag-gravated
by the ills attendant upon a
tenant system of working the land,
the per cent of cotton lands worked by
tenants varying from 40.0 per cent in
Texas to 62.4 per cent in Mississippi.
Because of this state of affairs the
annual income of the tenant farmer of
the south ranges from $144 in Alabama
to $305 in Texas, the poorer ones often
being compelled to give the landlord a
mortgage on the crop before it is
harvested or even planted, it is in the
face of such conditions as these that
the department of agriculture has tak-en
up what Is known ns the farm-ers’
co-operative demonstration work,
which has in view making agriculture
a source of pleasure and profit, im-proving
rural conditions and enriching
rural life. It has inaugurated field
schools, in which these tenant farmers
meet, with an agent of the department,
who is teaching a better way—deeper
plowing, the use of fertilizers and
legumes in a crop rotation, bettor and
more intensive tillage, the substitution
pf horse for hand power, the raising
of stock and the growing on the farm
<!>f the stuff which is consumed there.
^Vs a consequence of this much needed
grlculturul missionary work very grat-ifying
results are being realized. The
Change which is taking place is well
tated in the words of one of the bene-ficiaries
of the better way contained
In the department’s report: “I was
born in the cotton field. I worked cot-ton
on my farm for more than forty
years. I thought no one could tell me
anything about raising cotton. I had
usually raised half a bale and thought
that was all the cotton in it for one
season. The demonstration agent came
along and wanted me to try his plan
on two acres. I agreed, but I did not
believe him. I tried my best to do as
he said. At the end of the year I had
a bale and a half to the acre on the
two acres worked his way and a little
over one-third of a bale on the land
worked my way. You could have
knocked me down with a feather. This
year I have a bale and a half to the
acre on my whole farm. As a good
cotton planter I am just one year old.”
This Improvement In economic con-dition
is having a wholesome effect
ajl along the line, one of the most
hopeful aspects being that the farmers
ho are realizing its benefits are be-fouling
interested In agriculture.
BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Secretai’y Wilson has recently pre-pared
a statement giving facts and
figures relating to the growth of Uncle
Sam’s beet sugar industry in tbe past
ten years. The figures of the report
are interesting and encouraging. The
production of beet sugar has risen
from 30,000 tons In 1898 to 484,000 tons
In 1006, an Increase of more than thir-teen
fold. Ill 1890 41,000 acres were
devoted to crowing beets, while in
:900 mere were 370,000 acres. In 1898
the farmers sold 304.000 tons of heels
to the factories, for which they re-ceived
$1,504,000; in 1000 they mar-keted
4,236,000 tons, which brought
them $21,004,000. The price paid per
ton for beets in 1900 was $4.10, but It
is now $5.35. The total amount paid
out by factories for beets during the
past twelve years has been $121,000,-
000, and the amount invested in beet
sugar factories at the present time is
placed at $70,000,000. Mr. Wilson
places the area of land suited to the
culture of beets at 274,000,000 acres,
one acre out of every 200 being ample
to produce all the sugar now imported
from foreign countries. He gives this
fact still further emphasis by saying
that if beets were grown once in four
years in rotation on laud adapted by
nature and irrigation to their culture
the annual production of beet sugar
would be 15,000,000 tons, or more than
the world’s output at the present time.
Of the sixteen states which are en-gaged
in producing beet sugar Colo-rado
leads, with sixteen factories and
an output of 169,000 tons. She is also
credited with the oldest successful
factory at Alvarado, which has been
in operation since 1879. California and
Michigan follow Colorado In their re-spective
output of beet sugar. Utah
has five factories, Idaho and Wiscon-sin
four each, while ten states boast
one factory each. The largest factory
in the United States is at Spreckels,
Cal., which will slice 3,000 tons of
E>eets a day, or a hundred carloads of
thirty tons each.
The richest group of people in the
world are said to be the 926 remaining
members of the Osage Indian tribe,
who live seventy-five miles north of
McAlester, Okla. Kach individual has
a clear title to 660 acres of the richest
farming land, which is valued at $100
per acre without regard to the min-eral
wealth which it may contain, fat
bank accounts and a pro rata share in
the $8,000,000 fund which is held in
trust by the government. It Is said
that, in addition to being fortunate in
the property to which they have fallen
heirs, they have been industrious and
thrifty and that it is in quite a measure
to this fact that their unusual prosper-ity
is due.
The North Dakota experiment sta-tion
has been making a series of tests
with the gasoline traction engine in
farm operations and finds that with it
and a gang of plows attached two men
can plow from twenty-five to thirty
acres of prairie per day at an average
cost of 80 cents an acre. This is as
much as would be done by twenty-five
horses and five men. Such an outfit
would be too expensive for the aver-age
small farmer, but a half dozen
neighbors could without difficulty join
In the purchase of it.
It is questionable if the court rec-ords
of any other state furnish a par-allel
to Iowa’s celebrated Jones county
calf case, which was first docketed in
1874 and continued on the calendar for
twenty-one years. There were seven
prosperous farmers who lived in the
southern part of Jones county. Six of
them accused the seventh of stealing
four slx-dollar calves and brought suit,
which resulted In the defendant’s ac-quittal.
He then brought suit for dam-ages
for malicious prosecution, and at
the end of twenty-one years he secur-ed
a verdict, but not before all the de-fendants
were bankrupt and most of
them dead. The case was tried by 144
jurymen and nineteen judges, while
the court costs aggregated $30,000.
What the attorneys’ fees were one can
Imagine. The case is said to have
knocked land values within a radius of
ten miles $10 per acre, Interfered with
the schools and played smash with the
churches and all around has been
worse than a pestilence.
The married man who tries to culti-vate
a care free miud aud takes one-fourth

cooking as the fellow aud his appetite
which have changed.
The world’s two-year-old butter rec-ord,
the seven day period, is held by
a Holstein heifer belonging to II. A.
Meyer of Syracuse, N. Y., she having
produced 24.48 pounds of butter in
that time.
The work on mnny farms where
stock is kept could be made immensely
easier and cleaner and a sight more
sanitary and comfortable for the stock
which have to frequent the barnyard
if some plan were carried out to do
away with the mire of mud and ma-nure
to ho found within a good Jump
of the stable door. Tills muss is in
part due to an improper handling of
the manure, which should be put ou n
spreader at once and not allowed to
accumulate, leech and lose its strength
exposed in rain and shine. The mire
is also the result of the fact that all
tiie rain on the slope of the roof to-ward
the barnyard runs Into the mire
and aggravates tilings many fold. This
phase of the trouble could he remedied
by equipping this slope of roof with
spouts. If the mudliole persists when
this Is done the laying of a cement or
flagstone floor tu those parts of the
yard where the travel Is heaviest
would do tlie business. If this plan is
too expensive, from ten to twenty-five
loads of gravel, with a top dressing of
coni ashes, will make a satisfactory
underpinning.
The Nebraska experiment station has
lately issued bulletin No. 109, telling
of crop production at the substation in
North Platte, in western Nebraska,
and the principles of cultivation which
were followed in the experiments. The
annual rainfall at this point for thirty-four
years past has averaged 18.8
Inches, which places it well within the
seml-arld belt. Ou the experimental
plots during the years 1907 and 1908
the yields for winter wheat ranged
from 20.85 to 00.9 bushels per acre, of
spring wheat from 22.0 to 40.5, of oats
from 24 to 82.3 and of barley from
10.20 to 07.7 bushels per acre. Spring
emmer yielded from 25 to 52.5 bushels
and varieties of corn suited to the
country from 25 to 50 bushels per acre.
The methods of handling the land were
surface cultivation, clean summer til-lage
or summer fallow and subsurface
packing. By means of summer tillage
it found that fully eight Inches of
water which the plants could use
might he stored in the soil under aver-age
conditions. As a means of prepar-ing
the seed bed for winter wheat this
method is highly recommended.
A tempting price often induces the
stock raiser to part with his best pure
bred animals when his own financial
benefit covering a period of years
would be served by keeping them. It
is only in rare instances that such
stock is not worth just a little more
to the grower than to any one else un-less
the sale is deemed necessary to
prevent inbreeding..

Mount Pleasant 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 postoffice distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s
big tableware glass factory, Acme Lumber and Supply Company,
Anchor Glass Factory, Searchlight Manufacturing Company’s stove
plant, the Mount Pleasant Tool Company. Husband Company’s plan-ingmill,
Galley Bros.’carriage factory, foundry, brewery, distillery,
pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and 8 Catholic churches,
Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools and 3 Parochial
schools.
There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of
which things, when taken In connection with the best water system
in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.
THURSDAY,
LOTS OF SMOKE.
The Uniontown Civic League, which
instituted proceedings to break up alle-ged
grafting on the part ol several Fay-ette
county constables and a justice of
the peace, is now after Judge R. E. Um-bel,
recently nominated for re election
by the Democrats of “Old Fiat.”
The petition is signed by R. I. Patter-son,
C. C. Robinson, Fred Felty, W.
Scott Bowman, Carl S. Areford and J. G.
Hemington, three Democrats and three
Republicans, who ask for an audit of
Judge Umbel’s campaign account on the
grounds that it is incomplete and incor-rect,
and not a full, true and detailed
account such as is required by the (jpr-rapt
Practises Act.
The petitioners stated that they be-lieve
large sums of money were disburs-ed
contrary to law for the purpose of
securing the nomination for Judge Um-bel.
They say they will prove these
statements if given an opportunity.
There is an awful lot of smoke of this
kind on the south side of Jacobs Creek;
in fact, that from the campaign in which
Judge Van Swearingen defeated Judge
Reppert for the Republican nomination
has not entirely cleared away. But
whether or not there is any fire, let us
have the facts.

TIMELY WARNING.
President Taft, in his address before
Yale graduates at New Haven, Conn.,
last Thursday, sounded a note of warn-ing
to Congress. He said if the party
that placed him in power failed to live
up to its promises, there would be a day
of reckoning. In closing his striking
address Mr. Taft said:
“I remember in 1904, that Charles
Francis Adams gave what I may call a
perfectly good Adams reason for the
election of the Democratic candidate
over the Republican candidate. He said
that one of the essentials of a successful
free Government was an able, patriotic
and efficient opposition, and that as the
Democratic party had utterly failed in
reaching that ideal, he was in iavor of
putting the Republican party in that
place.
“Now I venture to say that, while that
may not be the reason which shall move
the American people, it is true that if
the Republican party does not live up
to its promises and what the people ex-pect
of it, it will be relegated to a posi-tion
like that of his majesty’s opposi-tion.
And therefore I may say, by way
of caveat, that we have troubles of our
own."
The Republican majority in Congress
will do well to heed the President’s
timely warning.

TROUBLES OF THE 8UGAR TRUST.
The long expected action against the
sugar trust came last Thursday at New
York when the Federal grand jury
handed in a blanket indictment against
the American Sugar Refining Company,
its officers and directors. The indict-ment
contains 14 counts.
The company and its officers are
charged with "engaging in a conspiracy
in the restraint of interstate trade and
commerce in refined sugar, and conspir-ing
together to monopolize such trade
commerce.”
The sugar trust has had a hard row to
hoe lately. Some of its employes were
convicted of frauds in weighing. The
comjftny refunded to the Government a
large amount of money,
lost in the matter of the Philadelphia
Sugar Refining Company, compromising
with figures in the millions.
Common people all over the country
can take pleasure in thus seeing a trust
made to pay the penalty tor violation of
law; but, it is to be hoped that the vic-tim
will not make up its losses by ad-vancing
the price of sugar.

Colored Minister at New Salem Arrested
for the Crime.
While returning home last Wednesday
night William Tracey, farmer of near
New Salem, Fayette county, was attack-ed
by two negroes, bound hand and foot,
and robbed of $500. He was badly
beaten by the thugs, but hours afterward
regained consciousness, and succeeded
in freeing himself, after a struggle. He
staggered home with clothes nearly torn
from his back, and marks of the rope on
his wrists and legs. He declares he can
identify the robbers.
When officers went the next day to the
home of Rev. William Clark, a negro, of
New Salem, during his absence, they ob-tained
a large portrait of the minister
and took it to the home of William
Tracey, the victim, who said it resembled
one of two negroes who bound and rob-bed
him. The preacher later was arrest-ed,
and is now in the county jail at Un-iontown.
A search is being made for
another negro.

United Presbyterians Owning Liquor
Stock Must Sell it or Get Out
of the Church.
In view of a statement which has gained currency at Indiana that stocks
in local liquor interests are held by church members, the United Presbyterian
Presbytery of Conemaugh on Wednesday last passed these resolutions at
Jacksonville.
“Resolved, That we repudiate the Christianity ot persons who persist
in such sin, holding stock, that we request members of the church having in-vestments
in liquor to withdraw such interests or withdraw from the church,
and that this resolution be sent to other church courts for similar action.”

Golden Text—Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt he saved,
(lets xvi:31.
Verses 10-21—In what class do you
place those who profit by the sins ot
fallen women?
This young woman was possessed
with a very clever spirit of evil, an all
round spirit of deception, including
fortune telling; now wherein did her
sin consist, and that of her owners?
Which are the more to be blamed in
these days, fortune tellers or their
willing dupes?
When bad men are losing the gains
of their evil occupation, are they apt
to be careful of the truth, when they
are after the good men who have dd
stroyed their business? For example
the liquor dealers.
Verse 22—What made the multitude
so angry at Paul and Silas, and is any
reliance ever to be placed upon the
excited attitude of a large crowd?
Do religious differences still make
the people hate one another?
Does worldly gain, to-day play any
part in religious intolerance?
Verse 2S—Why did God permit such
cruelty to his faithful servants?
Why is It that godly people often
have to go through very exquisite suf-fering?
Verse 24—Say why it is possible for
any good man in prison, lying upon a
raw back, with his feet fast in the
stocks, to he as happy as a man in
health and at liberty?
Does a good man’s influence cease
when he is imprisoned and his limbs
are fettered?
In looking back over the results of
hiis imprisonment, would Paul and
Silas be apt to regret this painful in-cident?
Verse 25—Is there any circumstance
so painful, or disastrous, that prayer
and praise cannot turn it into joy and
victory?
If we prayed and sang more in our
private lives, and in our families,
would we have more joy and gladness?
Verse 26—Was this earthquake the
result of the prayer of Paul and Silas,
or was it a natural event?
Does God to-day work out for his
people, practically the same results as
are here recorded?
Verses 27-28—Why did the jailer de-cide
upon suicide, and is such a course
ever justifiable?
Verses 29-30—Was it natural fear
or religious conviction, that now oper-ated
in the jailer?
What did the jailer desire to be
saved from?
Verse 31—What precisely did they
mean by believing on the Lord Jesus?
May a father or mother believe in
Jesus, so as to assure the salvation of
their children? (This question Is to be
answered in writing by members of
the club.)
Verse 32—What is "the word of the
Lord,” and may a person know that
word, first hand, who is not person-ally
acquainted with the Lord?
Verses 33-34—Can the grace of God
suddenly turn a cruel and brutal man,
into a tender-hearted Christian?

to all our trials?

O THE ARTIFICIAL |
f FLOWER MAKER, g
Oo oOoQoOoOoOoCoOoOoQoOoQoQo
By HELEN SOPHIE GASHE.
[Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-ciation.
]
On one of (he principal streets of St.
Petersburg stands a little shop in
whose windows ure samples of artifi-cial
flowers. It is kept actually hy
Ivan Ivnnorlteh, though it really ex-ists
by virtue of his daughter Katin.
Ivatla not only makes the flowers, hut
does the selling. When a customer en-ters,
the old man, who is usually sit-ting
in the front of the shop reading
a newspaper, rises, hustles forward,
asks what is wanted, goes behind the
tiny counter and opens the cases, all
the while appearing to he full of busi-ness.
But it is not long before he
calls, “Katin, have we any tulips?”
“Katin, how much are these roses?”
“Kntia, what became of those crysan-themums?”
Then Kathi goes and
takes charge of the customer.
One day a coach stopped before the
shop, a footman resplendent in purple
and gold, with white silk stockings,
opened the coach door, and a lady
alighted and came into the shop. The
old man met her; but, without reply-ing
to his question as to how he could
serve her, she said;
“I am told by one who has bought
artificial flowers here that you have a
daughter who makes them.”
Katia came forward.
“So you are the girl,” said the lady,
“of whom my friend, Mine. Voronka,
has spoken of to me so feelingly. She
has not overpraised your eyes nor tiie
kindliness of your expression. It does
not indicate one born to do grent
deeds; rather one born to love one’s
fellow beings. Mine. Voronka tells
me, too, that your flowers are as lovely
as yourself.”
Katia, wreathed in smiles at such a
delicious happening, brought forth her
wares, and the lady bought a plentiful
supply. “I’ll take tills, and these, and
those, and that one over there,” she
said, until she had purchased nearly
an armful. “Send them, or, rather,
bring them to me tomorrow at 5 in the
evening.”
“Oh, father,” exclaimed Katia as the
door closed behind the indy, “I feel
ns if an angel had come down from
heaven to visit me.”
“What name did she give you?’v
“Countess Bokianoff.”
A singular expression came over the
old man’s face, but he said nothing to
his daughter.
The next afternoon Katia took the
flowers to the lady. She did not re-turn
till nearly 7 o'clock and when she
did was, full of enthusiasm about her
patron. “Oil, father,” she exclaimed,
“whom do you suppose she is? No
less a person than the wife of the min-ister
of the interior! And the order
I she gave me! I’m to carry her 10
j rubles’ wortli of flowers once every
week!”
The first of these statements the
man received without surprise; the sec-ond
nrrested his attention.
One day when Katia was making up
her flowers to take to her patron her
father said:
“Katia, the lady has been so good to
us that we should show our apprecia-tion.
I have been thinking how we
can best do so and have concluded
there can he no better way than for
you to make a special bouquet of your
flowers and present them to her hus-band,
the minister.”
“Oh, father, would not that be de-lightful!”
Katia set to work at once to make
a specially beautiful bouquet of flow-ers
and had them all ready to take to
the minister three days before she was
(o fill the next order for the countess.
She put them up in one of the cases
where they would not be Injured and
told her father on no account to touch
them. When the day arrived to de-liver
them, as she was going out her
father charged her to deliver those for
the countess, then, without waiting, to
take those for the minister to his of-fice
and to carry them very carefully,
since being of wax they would be
easily injured. Katia promised to do
all this. Her father folded her in his
arms, kissed her fervently—something
unusual with him—and she sallied
forth.
As she walked with a bouquet under
each arm she thought she perceived
an odor something like burning paper,
' "t she was so intent on the surmise
she wns about to give her whom she
called her angel that it did not make
much impression on her. Arrived at
her destination, she laid aside the flow-ers
for the countess, and with spar-kling
eyes and glowing cheeks she held
forth her and her father’s gift for the
minister. Then she wns about to hur-ry
away to deliver the latter, accord-ing
to her promise, when again her at-tention
was nrrested by Unit peculiar
odor. Fearing a mouse might have
crawled in among the flowers and died
there, she unbound them.
in the center was a small glass
globe. Inserted In it was a fuse, one
end of which emitted a scarcely per-ceptible
film of smoke.
The gaze of the I wo women met.
Both were white as snow. Then Ka-tia
knelt before her patron and hogged
her not to believe her intentionally
guilty.
"You are ns Innocent as a babe,”
said the other. “You hnve been made
a tool.”
The countess had not the heart to
strike Katia through her father. Fa-ther
anil daughter still sell flowers in
their little shop. The police are igno-rant
that a revolutionist lives there.

CHAPTER VII.
Zakouska.
The Russian steamer that took Hai
dy into Vladivostok was an Iron tub
of tb« tramp variety, and not a soul
on board could Rival; a word of any
tongue ever heard before by the Amer-ican.
He soon became aware, how
ever, that the red-faced burly captain
and his two officers meant to be ki,nd
to him, and that their Idea of friend
llness consisted principally in gelding
him to eat and drink as much and as
frequently as possible. After vainly
attempting to converse with him and
learning only that he was American
the captain led him to the dining
room and Introduced him to one of the
groat institutions of Ihussln, the zn
kouska, a lunch of hors-d'oeuvres,
washed down wilh much strong drink
At one end of the room, near the side
board, a table was set, spread with
dishes of sardines, sardels, caviar,
chunky of pickl'd fish, sandwiches,
and shrimp In hollies. Tile captain
poured out two generous bumpers of
a white liquid Into glasses, handed
ane to Hardy, clinked and drained the
contents of the other at a gulp. Har-ly
swallowed the liquid, and the tears
same into his eyes; he nearly stran-gled.
He looked about for water, bat
in vain. He was to learn soon that
water, for drinking and washing pur-poses,
is the one thing most difficult
of all to obtain in Holy Russia.
J Zakouska lasted, off and on, for
about an hour, during which the cap-tain
and his two officers ate and drank
almost continually, appearing to get
lAungrier and hungrier alt the time
&nd to suffer no unduly exhilarating
Effects from the vodka.
1 By combining the utmost firmness
with evident good nature, Hardy man-aged
to pull through without getting
drunk, thereby accomplishing a feat
quite remarkable in a foreigner ac-cepting
Russian hospitality.
The next afternoon they entered
the magnificent harbor of Vladivostok,
passing the high rock, crowned with
• liBHiauunu, melt. niuiuiM llH II at'llUIlid
at Its mouth. The city, not visible
till the last moment, burst suddenly
in Hardy's view and gnve him a very
favorable Impression of the country
'nto which he bad come to live and
to retrieve, if possible, bis shattered
fortunes. Here, crowning the hills
(lint dominate the harbor, was a mod-ern,
European city of houses, many of
them several stories In height, evi-dently
built of brick and stone. A cou-ple
of men-of-war, very trim In tlielr
white paint, besides numerous mer-chant
vessels flying the Russian flag,
lay at anchor in the tiny, while sev-eral
Chinese sampans and ft Junk or
two, drifting about, bore witness that
here the extremes of the east and the
west meet and overlap. Two or three
of the sampans, Indeed, floated up to
Hardy's ship as she cast anchor, and
their lung cued owners made clamor-pus
application to carry any one
ashore wtio might wish to go. Hardy
had already picked out. the Celestial
whose appearance best, suited him,
wondering whether lie would lake
Japanese money, when he noticed a
steam-launch rapidly approaching, and
a cheerful voice hailed him.
"Is that an American on board
there?"
“Yes," Hardy shouted back, thrill-ing
with sudden delight at the sound
of his mother-tongue, "how did you
know?”
“By the cut of your clothes. Where
Is your baggage?"
"in my cabin."
“All right," said the man in Hie
launch, "i’ll have It brought out. Hot
In here and I'll take you ashore.”
A few words of gruff Russian to the
captain, and Hardy's trunks and bag-gage
were brought out, and five min-utes
later he was flying ashore In the
launch of the American Trading Com-pany.
As he was leaving, the captain
dashed up and wrung Ills hand, asking
anxiously:
“Zakouska?”
“lie wants to know," explained Har-dy,
leaning over the rail, "if 1 want
more zakouska. I've had zakouska
enough to last, me a lifetime. What
shall I tell him?”
"Tell him ‘nyet’!" came the reply,
and Ihe American shook the liamls of
the captain and ills two kind-hearted
officers vigorously, repeating many
times:
"Nyet! nyet! nyet! nyet!”
CHAPTER VIII.
Enter the Princess.
"I want to go to the American con
Rut's,” Raid Hardy, "as soon as I land,
and then I should like to get located
tn a hotel, till I can catch the first
comfortable steamer up the river. It's
fortunate for me you cixme out to take
me off, for my knowledge of Russian
is, as yet, rather Jlmlted.”
“You can Btaft up the river day
after tomorrow,” replied the Vladi-vostok
agent, “on the Alexsay, which
goes as far as Blagovestchonsk. You
will be quite comfortable on her, and
will be likely to get a room all to
yourself, as I understand she is not
crowded."
“That will suit me perfectly," said
Hardy. “I see no reason for lingering
here, fascinating as the t»wn looks,
any longer than is necessary.”
“By the way,” volunteered the oth-er,
“you will have quite a distin-guished
traveling companion, if you
l,o on the Alexsay, the Princess Ro-manovna,
who has been here visiting
her relative, Gen. Romanoff. She has
made a sensation in the garrison so-ciety
here. She’s a stunning-looking
woman."
“Women do not interest me," re-plied
Hardy. “I came here to work,
not to mingle in fashionable society,
md, anyhow,”—suddenly remembering
his changed fortunes—"it is not like-ly
that a princess would become wild-ly
enthusiastic over a storekeeper.”
At the agent’s summons, a carriage
resembling a Victoria came up, drawn
by two active, nervous little horses,
one between the shafts and wearing a
huge arch of wood over his haunches,
the other running free, between long,
looHe traces. The isvoschlk got down
from the box and saluted—he was a
stolid-appearing Russian, wearing a
blouse, a shiny cabman’s hat and a
pair of high boots, into the tops of
which his trousers were tucked.
Swinging the long lash of his whip
about the horses’ ears, he yelled at
them, and Hardy was oft through the
hilly, rocky streets of Vladivostok, his
carriage bounding over stones and
dipping into ruts, while the maddened
steeds, their ears lying low and their
bellies close to the ground, tore and
scrambled along.
Our affable and efficient represent-ative
at Vladivostok received him with
open arms and overwhelmed him with
courtesy. He gave him much good
advice, warning him, among other
things, against criticising the govern-ment
or making any disrespectful re-marks
concerning anybody in public
office.
The next morning Hardy took bis
place in the railway train bound north
.UIUIIKII aineria mr Miniinrovkn, on
(lie Amur, lie had obtained a first
class compartment anil Bill waiting tor
Hie train In pull out on schedule time
eight o'clock.
The hour arrived lint the train did
not move. A quarter past, half piiHl,
and sllll there were no signs of de-parture.
At last, Impatient, he arose
and stepped out Into the long narrow
hall that ran the entire length of the
ear. An Intelligent looking Itiisslaii
was pacing up nnd down, and him
Hardy asked la tile best. Ereneh ill ills
command:
"Wlial IR Hie matter? Why do we
not start?"
"On attend," replied the Russian;
“they are wsllltig for the Princess Ro-manovna
all! here she comes now!"
The American looked from the win
dew. A drosliky was driving up, and
In it sat a tall, slender and exquisite-ly
graceful woman, fairly smothered
In costly flowers that filled the car-riage
and were plied beside her on the
seat. Her face was of the purest Rus-sian
type, her complexion was marvel
inis, tier eycH were a laughing blue,
and her hair was of the color of ripe
wheat. Half n dozen young officers,
In natty uniforms, and riding spirited
horses, accompanied her.
"Ily Jove!" sighed Hardy, "but she's
a thoroughbred and a beauty, loo!"
The princess took plenty of time for
her adieus, after which she languidly
nnd gracefully entered the car. The
officers brought tier flowers In to her,
Gracefully Entered the Car.
and descended to the platform, whoro
they stood In an adoring and sorrow-ful
group, their caps In I heir hands.
And then, her highness the Princess
Romanovna being aboard, Iho (rain
started slowly on Us 500-mlIe journey
to Khabarovka.
CHAPTER IX.
Into Sibera.
The journey into Ribera waB begun!
Ribera, that vast mysterious region
whose very name has come to be
synonymous with all that Is most
dreaded by the human race—exile,
eternal farewells, the clanking of
chains over endless frozen roads, the
knout., despair, all the horrors of a
living death!
Hardy sat In his compartment'of
one of the first-class cars nnd gazed
from the window, eagerly scanning
the landscape for sumo sign or evi-dence
of the things that hnd given tho
country its sinister reputation. His
first impression, ns the train left
Vladivostok behind, was a complete
refutation of all preconceived notions.
There were no convicts anywhere in
sight, no fields of Ice or snow. In-stead,
he was Journeying on a pleas-artt
summer’s day through a vividly
green prairie, wide as tho eye could
reach, where fat cattle waded up to
their knees In IIIHII grass, and yellow
dandelions, as large as tea saucers,
and fierce tiger-lilies, swayed and
nodded by the million in the balmy
breeze. He had expected to find some-thing
different, somehow, In the as-pect
of Sibera Itself, something sinis-ter
and forbidding. Yet this, save for
the greater luxuriance of the vegeta-
| tion and the profusion and brilliancy
| of the flowers, might have been a
stretch of Minnesota or Manitoba.
Weary at last of sitting, Hardy
went out into the long hall at one side
if tho car and walked up and down.
Here he found the Russian who spoke
French, also promenading. and
squeezed against the wall several
| times to let him pass.
"Pardon, monsieur,” said this gen-tleman
as the train stopped, “but we
remain here long enough to take
zakouska. Perhaps you feel the need
of refreshment? Do you know what
the zakouska is?”
"Oh, yes,” replied Hardy, laughing,
“I know what zakouska is very well.
I should indeed like some.”
“Have you secured your compart-ment
on the Alexsay?” asked the Rus-sian.
"No,” replied Hardy, “why? Will
jtho boat be crowded?”
"I hardly think so, but the Princess
Romanovna Is going on her, and it is
likely that all the best accommoda-tions
will have been reserved for her.
Fortunately, she does not seem to be
traveling with much of a suite. Her
highness will probably require two or
three cabins for herself, a couple for
her baggage, one for each of her two1
maids, and one for her man.”
“And will she be given all this, even
if the rest of us are compelled to sleep
on the decks?”
"Certainly,” replied the Russian.
"Her highness is—her highness.”
Hardy was about to declaim against
a government where the aristocracy
j... nui'H pnviioB"H, nut, fortu-nately,
bln French was not quite equal
to IIIH Indignation, nnd In Hie moment
of hoallntfon lie remembered Consul
Greener's warning.
"Ami who In (lie world Is the Prin-cess
Romanovna?” ho nflked, wilh a
slight tinge of Hiircasm. He would
have liked to Hay "who In the dick-
HUH," lint he illil not know the French
for "the dickens."
"Tho Princess Romanovna," ex
plained (lie Rimslnn, “belongs to one
of tho oldest families In Iho empire.
Rhe Is n distant relative of the czar,
who Is my Imperial master" and here
he look Ills lint off. "Him Is Immense-ly
rich and lias city palaces nl Mos
cow nnd Petersburg, besides a country
estate near the former city. She Is as
wealthy ns she Is beautiful."
“She must ho very wealthy, then,"
said the American, with conviction.
The Russian smiled
"Monsieur speaks the truth,” b«
said “He Is also like all Americans,
very gallant. When we take zakouska
again, we will drink to the Princess
Romanovna."
"With pleasure,” Raid Hardy.
After two very comfortable nights
the train hearing Frederick Courtland
Hardy arrived, about noon, at Kha-harovka,
on Iho lordly Amur. It had
been raining and the low wooden sta-tion
resembled an ark stranded In
seas of black mud.
Hardy found an agent of the com-pany
awaiting him Imre, a Han Fran-ciscan,
who nearly foil on his neck
at seeing a fellow countryman and
hearing ngalti tho English language
spoken, lie did net know that Amor-leans
could become so demonstrative.
Ills goods were loaded upon a telega,
a sort of long limit upon wheels and
without springs, and wore sent away
to the Alexsay at Its wharf, two or
three miles distant, while Hardy nnd
the agent look seats In ft drosliky and
tore furiously away to llm company's
store, over rooks and through ruts
and puddles, the mud spraying In a
centrifugal shower from the bumping
and whizzing wheels.
"Tell him to drive slower," shouted
Hardy. “We have plenty of time."
"No power on earth could make a
Russian cabman drive slow," replied
the agent; "they are the llima! do-seendnnt.
H of Jehu, nnd their speed Is
a part of their natures. You might
mi well try to make the Amur run up
hill."
That night, In darkness as blank as
Ink and in a drizzling rain, Hardy
went on board the Alexsay, to begin
his long Journey up the Amur. The
water, the agent Informed him, was
rising, owing to the recent rains, and
there would tie littIn danger of ground-ing.
The trip to Blagovestrtiensk
should be made In five days.
“There Is a little spice of danger at-tending
the journey," said the agent,
on Inking leave; "Ihe ship that went
up ahead of this was fired on by Man-churian
brigands. I saw several bul-let
holes In tier side myself, made by
rifle balls. But I hardly think you
need feel much apprehension. Klnee
Hie Cossacks destroyed Algun and
killed every living man, woman nnd
child that, could not get away tho
Chinese have been pretty quiet. That,
taught them a lesson they will not
soon forget. I have heard It. rumored
that they have been somewhat em-boldened
of late by Japanese agita-tors
who are working among them.
The Japanese, they tell me, are talk-ing
of war with Russia. Foolish peo-ple!
The Russians would eat them
up. Japan would be a Russian prov-ince
two months after the declaration
of hostilities. 'Twould he a pity, too
—Japan is a picturesque country, as
i remember It.”
Hardy laid upder his bed that night
an American rifle, the property of the
Trading Company, taken by the
agent's advice from the stores in
Khabarovka.
Ho slept soundly, but had a vivid
dream of the Princess Romanovna
and Aisome raring over a Siberian
meadow, the one in a drosliky and
ile other in a jlnrikteha.

The Klser-Mason family reunion, held
here Mouday at tlie home of Mr. and
Mrs. William Kiser, was a very enjoya-ble
allair. The participants all brought
baskets filled with good things to eat
and the dinner was lit for any crowned
head. Then, too, there was plenty of
amusements.
Among those from a distance were:
Mr. and Mrs. 13. E. Mason, Mr. and Mrs.
Evans King, Mrs. W. K. Perkey and
Mrs. W. S. Meyers, of Mount Pleasant;
Mrs. Mary Mason and daughter, Miss
Capitola, of Conncllsville, and Mr. and
Mrs. Roland Kiser, of Pittsburg.
An accident that befell William Kiser
marred the day’s pleasure not a little. A
colt kicked him in the face, breaking
the bones ol his left hand as he raised
that arm to ward oft tile blow. Mr. Kiser
was taken to Donegal where he had his
injuries given surgical attention.
AitMIlltUHT.
There is another good mad dog in this
section, thanks to the unerring aim of
R. G. Love, the old retired farmer who
can still shoot straight despite his sev-enty-
odd years.
The animal first got into the kitchen
where it wa3 discovered and driven out
on the porch by Mr. Love’s nervy
daughter-in-law, Mrs. “Bob” Love, whose
four little sons were playing about the
place at the time.
Mrs. Love followed the dog and was
for driving it off when it took its stand
on the porch, had not her father in law
interfered and ordered the children and
herself to places of safety while he ran
up stairs to his private armory, from
which he soon returned with a loaded
rifle. One shot was enough. The mad
brute’s dead body was thrown down a
crack made by taking out the coal from
in under the farm.
Mrs. Parloe, of West Elizabeth, was
visiting her sister, Mrs. Mary Love, of
this place, and her bro
