Under the Direction of the Park
C 'mmission Much Credit Due the
Mount Pleasant Civic Club Which
is Hunting Active Members at One
Dollar Per Head
The children ot the Mount Pleasant
J Public Schools will obeerve Arbor Day
) this year in a very practical way by
! planting shade trees in Frick Park. This
proposition was taken up at the sugges-tion
of the Mount Pleasant Civic Club,
and considered so favoraely that to-morrow
(Friday) afternoon 42 trees will
be planted by the pupils representing
all the rooms and classes in the schools.
It is planned to have the children
march out to the park in groupes, each
representing a single tree, and take an
active part in the ceremonies incident
to the actual planting oi the trees.
Choice specimens of maple and elm
have been purchased from a local dealer.
These, planted in avenues under the su-pervision
of the Park Commission, will
make in a few years a park becutiful an
accomplished fact.
A meeting of the Mount Pleasant Civic
Clnb was held last Thursday at the home
| of the president, Mrs. O. P. Shupe, at
which time the initiation fee was fixed
at $1.00 for active and SO cents for asso-ciate
members. Mr. Shupe handed in a
> list of 42 trees which the school children
are giving to Frick Park, and Prof. Gordy
has made arrangements with the Park
Commission that the children take part
in the planting of these trees tomorrow
(Friday) afternoon. October 22nd, which
is Fall Arbor Day.
The club is to be composed of men
and women interested in the improve-ment
of the town along many lines, and
it is the intention to hold a public meet-ing
in the near future when some one,
who will understand it, will present
civic work to the people. At that time
it is expected many members will be
added to the club and in the meantime,
those willing to join can give their names
to Mrs. S. M. Kennedy who, in the ab-sence
of Mrs. John D. Hitchman, is act-ing
as secretary and treasurer.
LECTURES FOR MINERS
Secured From State College Through Y. M
C. A. Efforts.
Through the efforts of C. L. Fay, of
Greensburg, secretary of the Bituminous
Department of the State Y. M. C. A, ar-rangements
have been made at State Col-lege
with Dr. W. R, Crane, dean of the
mining department, whereby lectures
prepared by coal mining experts will be
furnished for distribution to the various
mining institutes in every part of the
state. Charts accompanying the lectures
will illustrate the topics discussed.
Every mining feature will be dealt with
in the course of the lectures.
Printed copies will be distributed
among the miners, and at the close of the
> series each miner will have a complete
file for future reference. The last lecture
in each course will be delivered by Dr.

project several years and finally gained
the endorsement oi General James A.
Beaver, a trustee of State College.

collision at the Riverview coke plant.
Both legs were cut oft. Charles Dunham
had both feet mangled in the wreck, but

ROBERT SIMPSON FREE.
Robber of an Irwin Bank Leaves the West-ern
Fenitentiary.
Robert Simpson, who was convicted
jointly with John Conlin, alias “Farmer
John,” for an attempt to rob a bank at
Irwin, in the fall of 1902, and who was
sentenced to ten years in the peniten-tiary,
was released from that institution
last Friday very much broken in health.
Simpson was taken to prison in Feb-ruary,
1903, and as he was a model pris-oner
his sentence was shortened almost
four years.
“Farmer John" was pardoned after he
had served two years, after it was proved
through his attorney, John Marron, that
there had been a mistake in his alleged
identification. William Daley, alias
“Altoona Bill,” a notorious safe blower,
who died three years ago in the Colum-bus
penitentiary, it is said by detectives,
resembled “Farmer John,” and the girl
who saw some of the safe blowers, iden-tified
"Farmer John" in mistake for
Daley.
JURY FIXERS FINED
In the United States District Court at
Pittsburg.
One thousand dollars fine was imposed
on James L. Smith and Geo. W. Morley
each, and $25 fine on John L. Echard at
Pittsburg Monday when the United States
District Court opened with the case of
"jury fixing" on the part of the three
fined men in the case of J. B F. Rine-hart,
who is now serving sentence in the
penitentiary forconspiracy to wreck the
Farmers and Drovers bank, of Waynes-burg.
Arguments to quash the indictments
against the defendants were first heard,
and the appeals were refused. The in-dictments
were sustained and after tak-ing
of little testimony, the defendants
were found guilty and fines were impos-ed.
Echard, who formerly resided in
Connellsville, was prepared te testily for
the state.
Burgess Collins's Salary Raised.
At a continued meeting of Council
Tuesday evening it was decided to raise
the annual salary of Burgess Collins to
$600, the same as that paid by Scottdale
and towns of this size. The contract for
furnishing the new city hall was award-ed
the S. P. Zimmerman Co. for $550.
Railroad Passenger Service Ruined.
Two coaches, all the passenger equip-ment
of the Manor branch of the Penn-sylvania
railroad, were wrecked, Charles
Johnson, aged 12, was hurt seriously and
several passengers slightly cut by shat-tered
glass at Manor Thursday afternoon.

operator becoming confused.
Big Damage Suit.
Clifford C. Bitncr, a former motorman
for the West Penn Railway Company,
has brought suit against that corporation
to recover $50,000 damages for injuries
received in a wreck two years ago when

bruised, both legs having to be amputa-ted.
The plaintiff's home is at Connells-ville.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered from Both Mine
and Yard.
The Banning-Connellsville Coke Com-pany,
of which R. W. Gilmore, of Dun-bar,
is the head, was chartered at Har-risburg
Friday with $200,000 capital.
Scgar Brothers, of Ligonier, were out
about Ruftsdale last week trying, it is
rumored, to buy up the Freeport vein of
coal.
The Dunlap-Connellsville Coke Com-pany
has given J. K. Gates, of Fair-chance
the contract to erect 26 more
ovens at its Garwood plant near Browns-ville
where 31 ovens are already in op-eration.
The Marietta-Gainer Coke Company
began shipping coke Saturday from its
Junction plant at Broad Ford. All of
the 20 ovens are in blast.
The work of erecting 30 ovens by the
Sunshine Coal and Coke Company at its
works at High House, Fayette county,
was stopped Friday by the H. C Frick
Coke Company, the latter company con-tending
that as there was but fourteen
feet between the nine foot seam and the
surface of the works the Sunshine ovens
would be in great danger of sink-ing.
The Sunshine people, who are work-ing
the Sewickley vein, will change the
location of its ovens.

A Guaranteed Attraction.
Although there have been more novels
dealing with persons'and customs“down
east” than in any other part of the coun-try,
the author of “Quincy Adams Saw-yer”
succeeded in this intensely human
story in striking a new note and intro-ducing
a tale that has already indicated
its lasting success. When the play which
has been made from this famous book is
seen at the Grand Opera House, Tuesday
evening, October 26, it will be at once
realized that the same sweet rural atmos-phere
is maintained in the dramatiza-tion.
The production complete in every
detail will be seen here.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
By T. BLAIR EATON.
[Copyright. 1909. by American Press Asso-ciation.]
When I left the law school with a
diploma and a fine standing in my
class one of my preceptors, who hud
taken an interest in me. said:
“Tom, you have learned a lot of law
here, but in the world you don’t want
to practice law. You want to practice
common sense. At least common
sense is three quarters of the fight.
There are all sorts of things in the
profession that certain lawyers set
great store by, such as decisions, deli-cate
differences in law principles, ex-pert
testimony, etc. Such men, if they
have any success, usually land on the
bench, while the practical attorney
gets rich.”
Soon after entering upon my pro-fesssion
a Mr. Arbuckle, a very rich
man. gave me one of his small cases,
involving $500. Peter Winfield had
sued him for the amount as part of
sn account due, and Arbuckle claimed
that he had never ordered the goods
It represented. Winfield was a small
dealer, Arbuckle a prominent capital-ist.
When the case came to trial all
I could do was to ask for a voucher.
To my surprise, plaintiff’s counsel pro-duced
a letter from Mr. Arbuckle or-dering
the goods. When I informed
my client of the fact he was as much
surprised as I. He did not remember
writing such a letter and was sure
he had not written It. After consulta-tion
we became convinced that it was
a forgery, and I claimed in court that
it was a forgery. Winfield thereupon
hired the best handwriting expert to
be had. who pronounced the document
genuine.
“How do yon know that it is genu-ine?”
I asked the expert.
“The question,” replied the expert,
looking at me patronizingly, “involves
a statement of bow I reach my pro-fessional
conclusions. When the doc-ument
was submitted to me I sought
to determine its dissimilarities from a
conventional standard. Every person
writes with one of a class of move-ments
we call forearm, wrist and fin-ger
movements. 1 onn tell at a glance
under what general system the writ-ing
has been penned.
“I analyzed the letter before the
court, dissected every letter and not-ed
each departure from the standard.
Such dissimilarities are invariably
found to be characteristic of the writ-er.
He cannot depart from them.
After analyzing the letter I took up
other bits of writing of his as fur-nished
by my client and dissected
them just as in the case of the letter
submitted to me for my opinion. 1
found in every one of these other speci-mens
the characteristics of the letter
before the court.”
“How about disguised writing?” I
asked.
“In such cases the difficulty is not
greatly increased. A person may suc-cessfully
disguise a few letters, but
In the main his natural variations
from the accepted standard will be
unmistakable. In cases of disguised I
handwriting I must first determine the
method of the disguise, separating the
real from the unreal features of the
disguiser’s natural handwriting. Hav-ing
determined this, the rest is easy.”
I took from my pockfit a package of
letters.
“Here are specimens of ebirogra-pby,”
I said, “presumed to have been
written by my client. Will you please
examine them and tell me if they are
genuine?”
The expert asked for time and was
given till the next morning. Then he
came into court and testified that of
three letters I had given him one was
genuine and two were not. I asked
him to mark the letters, and he did
so. I took them and, selecting the one
that he had pronounced In Arbuckle’s
handwriting, examined it carefully.
Then 1 culled Henry Harley.
“What is your profession. Mr. Har-ley?”
I asked.
“Engraver.”
I handed him the letter I held, told
him to examine it and asked him if he
wrote it
He replied that he did.
The court, the Jury and the specta-tors
pricked up their ears.
Dismissing the witness. I called Ja-cob
Untenueyer.
“What is vour business, Mr. Unter-meyer?”
I asked.
“Paper manufacturer.”
“Examine the uaDer on which that |
letter Is written nnd tell me If you rec-ognize
It.”
“It is from a small lot we have had
in a loft for many years, an old water-mark
of our firm not now used. I
furnished It to you n week ago."
“That will do. Call Stephen Munger.
Mr. Munger. did you see Henry Harley
write that letter?”
“I did.”
“When and where?”
“Three days ago in your office.”
“That will do. Gentlemen of the
Jury, hearing of an engraver who could
imitate any one's handwriting, I found
Mr. Harley and employed hint to
write this letter, which has been pro-nounced
by the expert for the plaintiff
ns having been written by my client.
To clinch the matter I secured some
paper not in the market for years nnd
the die of which has been destroyed. I

“Look here, young man, don’t you
talk to me that way!” exclaims the
man outside the ticket wludow in the
station.
“WhaJJasay?” growls the ticket
agent.
"I say you’ve got to be more civil to
me. I'm here to spend my money for a
ticket, and I demand prompt and cour-teous
attention.”
“Aw, wajjagoin’ to do about it?”

Pat’s Narrow Escape.
During the South African war an
Irish trooper on outpost duty one night
felt so desperately tired that he
thought he would have a five minutes'
nap. Placing his helmet on a dock, he
lay down and was soon in a sound
sleep. Waking suddenly, he mistook
his helmet for one of the enemy, drew
his sword nnd dealt it a severe blow.
Perceiving his mistake, the trooper
picked up his helmet, which he had cut
in two, and gave thanks to heaven that
he had taken it off before lying down.
“For,” he soliloquized, “had my head
been inside that it’s ten to one a dead
man I would have been seeing meself
at this moment!”—Philadelphia Inquir-er.

W. A. PYNE,
Winter is fast approaching. One of the most im-portant
parts of a Man’s or Woman’s winter clothing
is Underwear, and the best place to buy it that we know
of is at Union Supply Company Stores. The Fall lines
of Underwear for Men, Women and Ch ldren are now
all in. They have been purchased from the best man-ufacturers
in America. The stocks of this class of
goods taken out of our sixty-three stores and put in one

large quantities and paying cash for it naturally gives
us a great advantage as to prices Our customers get

HOME-MADE
SALE BILL
That an Old Mountaineer Over Near
Stahlstown Wrote out Recently.
HE HIED TO DISPOSE OF I MILK COW,
An old mountaineer over near Stahlstown recently posted a home-made
bill for the sale of a cow. The article speaks for itself:
“Owing to ill health I will sell at my residence in Cook township one
plush raspberry-colored cow, aged 8 years. She is a good milker and is not
afraid of the cars nor anything else. She is of undaunted courage, and gives
milk frequently. To a man who does not fear death in any form she would
be a great boon. She is very much attached to her house at present by
means of a chain, but she will be sold to any one who will use her right.
She is one-fourth short-horn and three-fourths hyena. 1 will also throw in a
double-barreled shotgun which goes with her. In May she generally goes
away for a week or two and returns with a tall, red calf with wabbly legs.
Her name is Rose. I would rather sell her to a non-resident.”
A Substitute.
The young lawyer, having been nom-inated
for the office of county attor-ney.
thought to surprise an eccentric
genius of the name of Si who was
working as a hired man on the young
lawyer's father's farm.
“Well, Si. what do you think?” the
young man began.
“Sometimes one thing. Lonny, an’
sometimes ’nother.”
“But. Si, they have nominated me
for county attorney.”
“They might ’a’ done worse, Lonny.
Ilowsomever, don’t holler till you’re
out of the woods.”
The young attorney was duly elect-ed
and on his next visit to the farm
announced the fact unctuously to Si.
who was at the wood pile, saw in hand.
“Well, Si. 1 am elected by a large
majority. What do you think of that?"
“Well, Lonny, down in our parts,
where I was raised, when we wanted
a stopper an' hadn’t any cork we gen-erally
took a corncob.”—Exchange.

A Woman’s Age? Forget It.
Man has no right to question wo-man’s
age—to even think about it. A
woman, bless her, is as old as she
makes out or makes up and not u
day older. Man is out of his latitude
when he begins trying to locate wo-man’s
age longitude. It is her privi-lege
to conceal her age in any form or
manner she may choose, and it is
man’s prerogative to assist her as
much as possible rather than hinder or
question her in any way. Man owes
It to himself to see that she is sup-plied
with every means of concealing
her age or any new wrinkle which she
chooses to keep from the gaze of the
overcurlous public. Man is uot sup-posed
to be young or beautiful. He
couldn’t be if lie wanted to be and
wouldn’t be if he could. With woman
it is different She wants to be and
can be and is. whether she wants to
be or not. and it is a whole lot better
for her and for her admirer or admir-ers,
as the case may be, that her age
be carefully guarded under that
charming veil of mystery which should
ever be hers by right of possession.
I Forget that she has an age, brother,
1 and you will be happier, and so will
she, bift don’t, for heaven’s sake, for-get
that she has a birthday.—Boston
Herald.
The Fighting Editor.
The fighting editor is no Joke in
Paris. There, if a paper (jails a man a
liar or a thief, the mgn takes it se-riously,
ana, visiting the omce, he de-mands
a retraction or a fight. It is
the fighting editor who receives him.
The fighting editor sits in a Louis
Seize study, smoking a cigarette and
reading a new novel with a yellow
cover. He is faultlessly dressed in
deep black—the duelist’s color. The
ribbon of the Legion of Honor is in
his buttonhole. His brilliant eyes and
clear skin proclaim his perfect condi-tion.
His alert, supple carriage shows
his military training. The fighting
editor never writes a line, but is re-sponsible
personally for every word
in the paper every day. On a plain,
outspoken sheet like Le Matin, which
keeps him pretty busy, his salary is
very large—$40 a week or so. A con-servative
Journal like Le Temps, hav-ing
little use for a fighting editor, pays
the man no more than $20.—Exchange.
Who Voted?
Benjamin Franklin once discussed
the property qualificatiou for voting
in Pennsylvania. A man owned a don-key
of sufficient value to enable him
to vote, but before the next election
the donkey died, and the man’s vote
was refused. “Now,” asked Franklin,
"who voted at the previous election,
the mau or the donkey?”
The morose man takes both narrow
aud selfish views of life and the world.
He is either envious of the happiness
of others or denies its existence.—
Simmons.

Mount Ploasant has within its borders a population of over
5,000; 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 3 Catholic churches,
Mount Pleasant Institute. 2 large Public Schools and 3 Parochial
schools.
There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of
which things, when taken In connection with the best water system
in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.
THURSDAY,
WELL WOHTH TRYING
The Pennsylvania State Railway Com-mission
visited Ruftsdale last Wednes-day
afternoon on a special train and
heard the vigorous protest that village
and vicinity made because the new
schedule sends the Uniontown Express
on the Southwest road by that point
both morning and evening without stop-ping,
compelling patrons there to use
the station at Tarr, a mile away, or to
change off to the trolley. Hon. James S.
Beacom, of Greensburg, spoke on behalf
of Ruflsdale people and the case will be
argued in the near future.
Of course, it remains to be seen what
the commission will do to help the good
people of Ruftsdale, if anything. In-deed,
the power given this body by the
Legislature in creating it is largely an
unknown quantity. Then, too, there are
doubtless those who would prefer not to
see these commissioners travel about ou
special trains. And still if this new
commission can help Ruflsdale to get its
full railroad train service back, why
couldn't it assist Mount Pleasant in hav-ing
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
restore its passenger service on the
Mount Pleasant branch? An attempt of
this kind is certainly worth a trial.

with the disputes of the various schools
of medicine upon the subject, but sen-sibly
applies the cold law to the subject
and declares that it is within the power
of the State Board of Health to insist on
sacrification. The suit was, therefore,
dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff.
There are those who bitterly oppose
vaccination; but, law is law, and should
be enforced until repealed.

ONE PRIVILEGE OF PUBLISHERS.
Judge A. B. Anderson, ef the United
States Court at Indianapolis, Indiana,
has just dismissed the proceedings
against Delavan Smith and Charles R.
Williams, proprietors of the Indianapolis
“News", who were resisting removal to
the District of Columbia for trial under
a grand jury indictment charging them
with having committed criminal libel in
publishing articles alleging that there
was a corrupt profit of $28,000,000 in the
sale of the Panama canal to the United
States.
Judge Anderson believes that the fact
that certain persons were called“thieves"
and "swindlers" does not constitute
libel per se. A newspaper has a certain
duty to perform. Asa former President
.has said, “It is the duty of a newspaper
to print the news and tell the truth
about it."
The judge also has the right idea when
he concludes his opinion by saying that
it is the duty of a newspaper to draw
inferences for the people, particularly
when it comes to criticising the actions
of public officials.
ATTORNEYS for the defendants in the
case of the defunct Farmers and Mer
chants National Bank in the United
States District Court at Pittsburg want
the new trial just granted postponed;
while District Attorney John H. Jordan
has said he would call it up at the pres-ent
term. The contest is interesting from
at local standpoint; but, after all's said,
the judge will decide the matter.

LAW IS LAW.
Judge J. J. Miller, in the equity suit
brought by Harry S. Lee in the Alle-gheny
county courts in behalf of his 9-
year-old daughter, Dorothy M. Lee,
against Prof. W. E. Berger, principal of
the Edgewood schools, decides that the
State Board of Health has the right to
regulate vaccinations of students in the
public schools of Pennsylvania.
The suit was filed by Lee after Prof.
Berger bad refused to admit bis daugh-ter
to the school, alleging that her vac-cination
certificate was not sufficient and
did not show scarification. The pupil
presented a certificate signed by Dr. W.
R. Stephens, stating that that she had
been successfully vaccinated. She had
been vaccinated by the internal method
of the Homeopathic school of medicine,
which Prof. Berger declared did not
meet the requirement of the state de-partment.

THE LIVINGSTONE PIANO.
J. B' Myors, Jr., Has a Word to Bay About
This Famous Instrument.
Three hundred years ago file Half
Moon was (he most talked about sailing
vessel; one hundred years ago the Cler-mont
was the most talked about ship;
today, the Levingston Piano is tlie most
talked about in Mount Pleasant. The
Half Moon achieved lame because it was
the first vessel to sail up the Hudson;
the Clermont became famous because it
was the first steamship to sail up the
Hudson; the Livingston is famous be
mous because it is file -first No. 1 Piano
that a customer has been able to buy at
the right price. It is the one piano that
pays dividends all the time in finishi
design, workmanship and material used.
No piano on the market today offers as
much as the Livingston especially when

A WARM
FIGHT.
Rival Trolley Companies are Both Af-ter
a Franchise at Irwin.
MHKB IS SOW IIP IS BiOUEH COONCIL
The Irwin-Herminie and the Pittsburg & Westmoreland trolley compa-nies
are lighting tooth and nail for advantages at Irwin. I lie former line is
nearly ready to operate Its track at present ends at Hahntown and it intends
to enter Irwin and cross the I’. IT R. tracks at the toot of Oak street.
The Pittsburg & Westmoreland, now operating between McKeesport and
Irwin, with Manning Stires at its head, wants practically the same route to
get out of Irwin.
Each has appealed to Council for a franchise to erect a bridge from the
front of Oak street to North Irwin. The fight for the ordinance is warm and
it looks as if the one to be granted the franchise will have to offer big in-ducements.

Why are not all persons Christians

Seeds a Cent Apiece.
Ginseng seeds are worth 1 cent
apiece, or from $80 to $100 a pound,
dried root Is worth $0.25 a pound.
When lirst growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or
stalks mid one leaf oil ouch stalk. The
second year It adds another leaf on
each part, and Ihe third year the plant
grows In three parts with three leaves
on each part, and this year a seed hall
forms.
This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to live
Indies above the foliage. The aver-age
plaut produces from fifty to sixty
seeds and sometimes goes ns high ns
100 seeds. Wild plants yield better
than cultivated.
The fourth and flflli years one leaf
Is added to each stalk. The llftli year
the plant Is full grown, having three
forks and five leaves on each stalk.
It grows from one to two feet In
height, sometimes ns high ns twen-ty-
seven Inches. The leaves are broad
and flat, about four Inches long and
two Inches wide when full grown with
escnltoped edges.
It takes five years to grow the root
from seed for market nnd eighteen
months to germinate the seed for
growth. There Is more cultivated root
now on the market than wild. The
plants are found on high, dry land In
the woods and never In swaiupy
places.
How Color Affects Growth.
Color agriculture Is the latest. Ca-mille
Flnmniarlon put. seedlings of the
sensitive plant Into four different
houses—an ordinary conservatory, a
blue house, an ordinary greenhouse nnd
a' red house. After a few months
waiting be found the little plants In
the blue house practically just as he
had put them In. They seemingly had
fallen asleep and remained unchanged.
In the green glass house they hud
grown more than In the ordinary glnss
house, but they were weedy and poor.
In the red house the seedlings lmd be-come
positive giants, well nourished
nnd well developed, fifteen times ns
big ns the normal plant. In the red
light the plant had become hyper-sensitive.
If was found that (ho blue
light retards the processes of decay
as well as those of growth.
A resident of Reading. Fa., depart-ing
from the usual practice of having
his apiary in Ids back yard or orchard,
has fitted up tits garret for this pur-pose
and there has some forty hives.
The bees have access to the room
through holes bored just beneath the
window sills. They seem contented In
their odd quarters and store their
Sweets there just ns generously as out
nmoug the grass and flowers, some col-onies
producing as much ns 300 pounds
during a season.
In the hilling of the celery bed the
stalks should he held together firmly,
so as to preveut dirt from getting into
the crown of the plant, where the
tenderest portions of the plant will
grow.

TO THE LADES
I wish to announce to the ladies that after some
effort on my part I succeeded in arranging to be
under the personal instruction of Mr. Amon, a French
Ladies’ Tailor, who had cut for ten years for Red-fern,
of Paris, and who by the way is the man who
taught Mr. Fullaytar, of Pittsburg.
I am now prepared to execute first-class work in
the production of Ladies' Tailored and Princess suits
in any of the popular styles. The Fashion Plates I
carry are the best procurable, and are Paris publi-cations.
I should be pleased to have you call that I may
show you my line of exclusive patterns in all the
newest designs and color effects. I have them all.

« inerpnant nero in her autocratic
and aristocratic Russia—a merchant
who owes her sufferance of me to the
fact that I can shoot straight!”
lie said nothing that night, to Wang
of the impending duel, but the boy
seemed aware that some danger
threatened ills mnster, or that, the lat-ter
was gravely troubled about some-thing.
Although told several times,
kindly, to go to bed, he returned as
often, and hovered about Hardy. In-deed,
Wang responded to Hardy's
moods with that delicacy of under-standing
sometimes seen in a dog for
its master, or a woman for the man
she loves.
“Well, Wang,” said Hardy at last,
“you may sit. up all night if you
choose, but I, for one, am going to get
some sleep. Good night!"—and he
retired to his own room.
He began to undress slowly and
absent-mindedly, standing for long min-utes
motionless In the midd’e of Ihe
floor, or dropping into a chair, in deoo
thought, ns though he were coni' ontnd
by dome weighty problem that, he
could not solve. 11“ turned off the
l:gbt at Inf. and crept, into bed, but
he wan th -lined to !>.> again dimi’l; d
by Wang, wl.»> tapped timidly at ('■-■
dop ■.
“That boy Is becoming a nubanco!’’
he muttered; “there is such a (hie ■ "s
too much devotion. Well. Wang!" h
shouted, sharply.
"If you please,” called Wang, “here
is a note for you."
Hardy arose, went to the door and
took a letter from the boy's hand
“Wait,” he commended, “till 1 see
if there is an answer.”
He tore open the envelope and read:
My Friend: 1 have .lust learned that 1!- —
duel Is lo take place in the morning, and
that pistols arc the weapons chus vt. Ycu
l now that T gave iny consent to this de-plorable
affair because you ns’:cd me in
terms that left me no choice. 1 mn going
now to beg something of you; it Is Ibat
you spare my headstrong and vhAnnt
cousin's life. He wronged you outra-T’*-
ously, I know, and in *he name of ihe
Romanoff family. T humbly beg your par-don
for that wrong, but should you kfll
him—and your wonderful sititl places bis
life entirely in your bands—I sh"-’M feel
ttiat his blood is on try head. Will you
not grant a distracted woman's prayer
and spare his life? Wound him, if you
will, but, oh, do not kill him! By grantin'-
tlds request, you w'U place under still
deeper obligations one who already owes
you more than she ran ever beam to ro-pay.
ELtZABRTTT \ ROMANOVNA.
Aa he read, Hardy turned paio to
the lipa. He tore the note in cmril
bits and dropped them into a waste
paper basket.
"Is there any answer, dear master?"
called the voice of Wang through the
door.
a. iivm ty uictiHiast, uaviug none a good
morning’s work with very little waste
of time.”
Gortchakov had now fixed on Ro-manoff's
heart ns the most pleasing
receptacle for Hardy's bullet.
The coachman cracked his long
whip and the high-strung, nervous
steedR gave a great bound and went
scurrying through the early streets
of the Muscovite capital. In half an
hour they had reached their destina-tion,
a thick wood on the banks of the
Moskva. Hardy's other second was
already on the spot with a surgeon, a
fat little man, wrapped thick in furs,
who walked briskly to and fro in the
snow, carrying a case of Instruments.
“YON .tre in good time, gentlemen,”
cried Gortchakov, consulting his
watch, "there are still ten minutes to
spare."
“1 think 1 hear sleigh bolls now,”
said the surgeon. “I hope it is Ro-manoff,
so that I can get back to my
warm bed. What the devil people
want to come out in such weather as
this, is more than I can understand.
Let them shoot each other and be
damned, if they want to, but not at
this hour and in such weathw.”
“We shall try to be expeditious,”
said Hardy, cheerfully, “and, in the
meantime, I beg pardon for my share
In the Inconvenience to which we are
putting you. You’re right about the
sleigh bells. Here are our friends
now.”
Through a vista between the leafless
trees a sledge could be seen approach-ing,
drawn by three horses, running
like mad. The driver rose to his feet
and settled back on the Beat, bringing
them to a rearing, pawing, sudden
halt.
The details were soon arranged nnd
the ground measured off. Hardy did
not pay any attention to these pre-liminaries,
but walked briskly back-ward
and forward to keep his feet
warm, glancing occasionally at Ro-manoff,
who stood leaning against a
tree, his hands in bis ulster pockets,
an insolent, careless smile on Ills
handsome face. He certainly was a
splendid specimen of manhood,
thought the American, and if he felt
the least tremor of fear, he knew how
to disguise It. Did it seem at all
unlikely that a high-bred, aristocratic
woman, the daughter of a hundred
warriors, should have fallen in love
with a man like that?
"It Is time now, my friend,” said
Gortchakov, coming up to Hardy. "I
must trouble you to remove your coat.
But you will not catch cold, for it will
only take you a minute. Upon my
word, I admire your nerve. You ought
“No,” replied Hardy, "there is no
answer.
CHAPTER XXXVI.
The Duel.
Frederick Courtland Hardy t
poorly that night. The typical hero
of romance, when about to fight a duel
at break of day goes to bed and slecrs
more soundly than ever before in his
life. This deep slumber proves his
iron nerve more incontestably than
any amount of swash-buckling brava-do
or any number of great oaths could
do. But we are not dealing with a
typical hero of romance.
Hardy, as he tossed about for hours
on the bed, felt genuine disgust at
himself that he was unable to go to
sleep. He experienced no fear, and he
had a feeling that it was irregular for
a gentleman to lie awake under such
circumstances.
About midnight it occurred to him
that it might be a good thing to make
his will. Such a document already
existed, but he now arose and, putting
on dressing-gown and slippers, went
out into the office. Lighting the gas,
he wrrote as follows:
Moscow, January 7, 1904.

of all my faculties. I write this as a cod-icil
to my will, now In the keeping of
Andrew Mackey, Esq., attorney at law.
Roston. I hereby will and bequeath all
my ready money, deposited In the Russo-
Kitaisky bank at Stryetensk, and amount-ing
to something over 6.000 roubles, to my
faithful secretary. Wang, and I heartily
commend the said Wang to the favorable
notice of Frederick Emery, president of
the American Trading Company in Si-beria.
The boy is faithful, honest, and
possesses a degree of business ability
quite astonishing In one so voun"
FREDERICK COURTLAND HARDY.
This he folded and put in an en
velope on which he wrote with a lea*
pencil, “For Wang.” Tossing the en-velope
on a table in his sleeping room,
he went back to bed, and at last suc-ceeded
in getting to sleep. He was
awakened by Gortchakov pounding
upon his door and shouting:
“Get up, my friend, get up! We
shall be late for the rendezvous!”
Hardy dressed hurriedly and went
out to his second, who was waiting In
the office.
The lieutenant’s sledge and beauti-ful
team of thoroughbreds was wait-ing
at the curb.
“Jump in, pray,” he said, “and let’s
be off. And we mustn't talk of any-thing’s
happening. There is nothing
going to happen except that you will
shoot a great rascal and bully through
the heart, and we shall come back to

to have been a Russian. You will
shoot him at the word ‘three!’”
Hardy removed his Ulster and faced
his opponent. A long dueling pistol
of excellent make and perfect pre-cision
was placed in his hand.
“Are you ready, gentlemen?” asked
Koulcolnik. “I will count three, slow-ly.
You will raise your weapons and
lake aim when I commence, and will
fire at the word ‘three.’ ”
As these words were being uttered,
Hardy fixed his eye-glasses more
firmly on his nose, the while he ex-amined
the distance and the person
of his antagonist with a cool, prac-ticed
glance.
Koulcolnik began.
"Odeen!”
The two weapons were raised and
Jointed.
“Dvah!”
It could not be seen that the hand
of either man trembled in the slight-est.
“Tra!"
Two shots rang out, almost simul-taneously.
Neither man fell.
“Hell and furies!” cried Romanoff,
throwing his pistol to the earth. “I
have missed him. This weapon is ut-terly
worthless. I demand another
shot.”

Since our worthy board ol school di-rectors
are enforcing ttic compulsory
school law, having an efficient Truant
Officer employed, John Douglass, the at-tendance
in all our schools lias increased
remarkably. Let the good work go on.
The Young Ladies Bible Class will
meet Friday evening, October 29, at 7:30
o’clock with Miss Katherine Shaw, at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Miller. A
study of the Book of Genesis, conducted
by the teacher, Mrs. Jessie M. Friedline,
is the chief item of the program.
Mrs. Amanda Sipe will have sale Nov.
4, at her home near this place.
Hunters are abroad in the land. A
Farmer’s Protective Hunting Association
is being organized by our people. And
then the festive hunter and his dog may
search for “new pastures" such as arc
more verdant than those in Donegal
township.
The M. E. people regret that Rev.
Watson Bracken was not returned by
the Pittsburg Conference, recently in
session. But a cordial welcome was ten-dered
their new pastor, Rev. Faust, who
preached last Sabbath.
Mrs. Mary Miller visited her daughter,
Mrs. P. E. Keslar, of RufTsdale, last week.
The first teacher’s institute of the sea-son
held at Mt. Hope school, where Miss
Jennie Logan now "wields the rod," was
very interesting. The next institute
will be held two weeks from next Sat-urday
at the Franklin school. Teachers,
read and study if you mean to retain
your positions, for this is an age of rapid
progress.
Some of the depositors in the defunct
F. & M. National Bank would certainly
like to know how any one cau prove
that the Duncan Plan industries consti-tute
a good loan for the bank. If the
fudge and jury were to merely drive
past that “money-sinker” they would
be convinced that it is worthless to
the creditors of theF. & M. Bank. These
same depositors in this section think
justice is “either asleep or taking a
journey."

The birds have flown to a warmer
clime for the winter and now the hills
and vales are again in perfect quiet, save
the noise made by the pheasant. A few
quail were bagged in the vicinity of
Wooddale on Saturday.
Cleve Washabaugh, “Pegg” Baker and
Miss Stella Campbell were Mount Pleas-ant
callers Saturday evening.
Messrs. Alex Reckner and Norman
Echard rendered honest service at the
Abram Myers farm on threshing day.
The oats yteld was unusually heavy; the
wheat was medium.
Where to invest money or saving is
ever an important question with many
people. The opportunities for invest-ment
arc many, but the character of
these investments is not always such as
to make them desirable. The very best
investment features are to be found in a
good home industrial proposition, espe-cially
when the promoters are men of
untiring efforts, firm integrity and busi-ness
ability. The ever increasing popu-lation
and the rapid depletion of our
forests is bringing us face to face with
the problem that is making architects
think. “Of what shall we build?" is the
question of the day. The answer is
known by a few residents of the country
and by many of the city. The concrete
age is dawning.
Miss Eugenia McCreary and Frances
Alter were pleasant guests at the Prof.
W. E. Miller residence Friday evening
last. An apple paring is supposed to
have been pulled off, but the weather
proved a barrier. However, the apples
were pared and the butter made on Sat-urday.
J. B. Honse transacted business in the
Smoky City on Friday.
Miss Sarah Washabaugh returned home
after a fortnight visit with Mount Pleas-ant
relatives.
Jimmy Stauffer is delivering sand to
the Buckeye coke works in all sorts of
weather.
J. Luke Wood, the hustling operative
on the Honse farm, is marketing straw
this week. The demand for bright rye
straw is always great.
Citizen Warren Christner will dis-pense
with all long-tailed white chick-ens
when the autumn demand is greater.
He contends the white fowls were the
ones that gave him most trouble during
corn planting time.
A teacher in a rural school not far
away advocates parents' conferences for
parents and others interested in the
training of children. This project could
be successfully inaugurated in this or
any other community. The following
subjects could be discussed to good ad-vantrge:
my children's companions, dis-obedience
and its results, loitering on
the way to school, love of nature, basis
of character, home study, the difference
of the evening conversation. These eve-ning
conferences, if properly conducted,
would completely divorce the minds ol
children from the detrimental influences
of the club room and street corner.
J B. Honse thinks the concrete house
should commend itself fo the home
builder on account of its imperishable
nature. He says, “when once construct-ed
in a proper way it is a permanent
building, improving with age like good
wine.” Concrete house construction has
had its battles and won against opposi-tion,
and throughout the country there
are many thousands of beautiful exam-ples
of this form of construction. Con-crete
is a material that will be recog-nized
all over the world within a few
years.
For the benefit of those who were un-able
to visit the A lasko-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, the committee on entertain-ment
is said to have arranged for the
Pacific Ocean to remain on exhibition all
winter.
Many people of Bridgeport have ex-pressed
their desire for several enter-tainments
to be given by the O. I. A.
orchestra. There is nothing left for the
citizens to do but to wait till the orches-tra
gets iu the harmonious mood.
As old as "Neighbor" Gray is, he takes
