(£l)£ M$uni Peasant Jfourtml VOL. 34. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1909. NO 20. well SII11 UNDEUDEO MI 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. COMERS AND GOERS. Paragraphs About Prominent People Gath-ered During the Weok.

Thomas McKean wns born In 173-4 in Londonderry, Chester county. He was admitted to practice law before he became of age. Ills first public office was that of clerk of the assembly. Mr. McKean was a member of the Colo-nial congress of 1705 and of the Continental congress of 1770 and was one of the committee which drew up the articles of confederation. He signed the Declaration of Independence. During the Revolutionary war he served as a colonel. A member of the Delaware constitutional convention, he ac-complished the remarkable feat of preparing a constitution which wns unan-imously adopted by the convention. Mr. McKean was chief justice of Penn-sylvania for twenty-two years, having been appointed In 1777. In the same year lie was elected president of Delaware, continuing meanwhile to repre-sent the latter state in congress. He was elected governor of Pennsylvania by tlie Democratic party and served for three terms. He died June 24, 1817. 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. / L THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1909 EASTERN OUTLET For the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail-road From Pittsburg Through This County to Clymer.

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 he came to with a yell. The first yell 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 hnncl to prevent any esenpe, they went down the street together. It was a straight course for five blocks, and Billy had just pointed out the tene-ment in which he dwelt when a wom-an enine rushing ncross the street nnd shouted at Mr. Bowser: “Kidnaper! Boy stealer! I'll have you arrested!” “Hush, woman! Your hoy has been lost for two days, nnd I’m bringing him back to you.” “It's a lie! He was here two hours ago. You infernal old rascal, but I’ll— A crowd was beginning to gather and demanding to know what was up. nnd Mr. Bowser fled. lie had just got home and taken a sent on the steps when Mrs. Bowser came home and halted to ask: “Have you been lonely, dear?” “Well, yes, rather lonely,” replied Mr. Bowser as he got up with a “made In Germany” yawn and followed her Into the house. Cheering Him Up. “Bill,” snld the Invalid’s friend, “I’ve come to cheer you up a bit like. I've brought yer a few flahrs. Bill. I fought if I wns too late they’d come In ’andy for a wreaf, yer know. Don’t get down ’carted, Bill. Lummy, don’t you look gnshly! But there, keep up yer spirits, ole sport.

A Hearty Laugh. Mr. Jones had recently become the father of twins. The minister stop-ped him on the street to congratulate him. “Well, Jones,” he said, "I hear that the Lord has smiled on you.” “Smiled on me!” repented Jones. “He laughed out loud at me!”—Every-body’s Magazine. Classifying Him. “He got to the top very fast.” “Yes; he’s wlint I call a commercial fill climber.”—St. Tnul Pioneer Press.

AN AUDIT WANTED I J — ^or the Expense Account of Judge I Umbel in Securing His Democratic Renomination in Fayette County. CIVIC LEAGUE PETITIONS C1RT FOB IT A petition signed by six Uniontown citizens, three Republicans'and three Democrats, has been presented to the Fayette county court asking for an audit of Judge R. H. Umbel’s expense account, under the corrupt practices act. His account shows expenditures of $6,323.89 at the recent primary, at which he secured the Democratic nomination. The Civic League’s petition declares that the petitioners “are informed, believe and expect to be able to prove that the count is incomplete and incor-rect, and that large sums of money were distributed contrary to law to secure the nomination.’’ The petitioners are R. I. Patterson, Rev. W. Scott Bow-man, Dr. J. G. Hemington, C. C. Robinson, h'arl S. Areford and Fred Felty. Judge Van Swearingen received the petition and ordered that the ac-count be certified to the court for auditing. mmif ORCHARDIU <m -Jf GMBi BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA; CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED ICopyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-ciation. This matter must not be re-printed without special permission.] 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 of the exercise he did when a hoy will quite likely fiud his wife’s cooking as appetizing as his mother’s was years ago. It isn’t so much the 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..

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.

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. July 8. 1909. WHERE'S the progressive citizen who will come forward and head the sub-scription for Mount Pleasant's new play-ground? 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.

MUST MAKE A CHOICE. 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.” SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS On the Sunday School Lesson by Rev. Dr. Linscott For the In-ternational Newspaper Bible Study Club. (Copyright, 1009. hy Krv. T. S. Linscott. D.D.) July 11th, 1909. Paul’s Second Missionary Journey— The Philippian Jailer. Acts xvi: 16-40. 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? Verses 35-40—May' we be confident that there will always be a happy end-ing to all our trials?

[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.

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. The minister doesn’t know of his nar-row escape.

He climbed to the port hole, opened It and looked out. The early sun was gleaming redly on a sullen heaving sea. The waveR were whitening over a long reef.

There was land In the distance, a faint coast line, which he knew could not he that of Russia, for the Shikoku Mr M had been out only a few hours when slu struck. Hardy remained on the wreck till nearly noon, lie had about made up IIIH mind, should the crew return to let them get aboard, pick them of with Ills revolver and lake to the sen with their boat, v.hen he discovered n steamer approaching, lie signaled her and she sent a small boat that took him and his baggage off. She was a Russian steamer, bound for Vied ivo It ': 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 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.

UNDEUDEO MI
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.

year lie was elected president of Delaware, continuing meanwhile to repre-sent

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.

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
he came to with a yell. The first yell
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
hnncl to prevent any esenpe, they went
down the street together. It was a
straight course for five blocks, and
Billy had just pointed out the tene-ment
in which he dwelt when a wom-an
enine rushing ncross the street nnd
shouted at Mr. Bowser:
“Kidnaper! Boy stealer! I'll have
you arrested!”
“Hush, woman! Your hoy has been
lost for two days, nnd I’m bringing
him back to you.”
“It's a lie! He was here two hours
ago. You infernal old rascal, but I’ll—
A crowd was beginning to gather
and demanding to know what was up.
nnd Mr. Bowser fled. lie had just got
home and taken a sent on the steps
when Mrs. Bowser came home and
halted to ask:
“Have you been lonely, dear?”
“Well, yes, rather lonely,” replied
Mr. Bowser as he got up with a “made
In Germany” yawn and followed her
Into the house.
Cheering Him Up.
“Bill,” snld the Invalid’s friend, “I’ve
come to cheer you up a bit like. I've
brought yer a few flahrs. Bill. I
fought if I wns too late they’d come In

A Hearty Laugh.
Mr. Jones had recently become the
father of twins. The minister stop-ped
him on the street to congratulate
him.
“Well, Jones,” he said, "I hear that
the Lord has smiled on you.”
“Smiled on me!” repented Jones.

HEN YOU HAVE TROUBLE with the way your
clothes fit, it’s probably due to one or more of
these causes:
\
1
Either the fabric is of poor quality—cotton mixed
goods, in place of all-wool; or the cloth is not properl
shrunk before cutting; or the tailoring workmanship is
badly done.
These"are the dangers in buying cheap clothes; or
clothes you £don’t know anything about; or too often
clothes “made-to-measure.”
And these are the dangers you absolutely escape
when you buy^Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes here. All-wool
fabrics, thoroughly shrunk; perfect tailoring of the
highest type; and style and designing unequaled in any
other clothes.
It pays to buy such goods; a suit of these clothes
lasts several seasons and looks right.
