MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1909. NO 42
ANDREW GREGG CURTIN—1861-1867.
Noted throughout the country ns the “war governor of Pennsylvania,”
Andrew Gregg Curtin became chief executive at a time when the common-wealth
was very much in need of the services of an able and patriotic man.
Serving as governor from Jan. 15, 1861, to Jan. 15, 1867, Mr. Curtin’s loyalty
and devotion had much to do with the maintenance of the Union. He was
born in 1817 in Beilefonte of Irish ancestry. After obtaining a good academic
schooling he studied law and became one of the foremost lawyers and
orators of the day. He assisted largely In the election of Jnmes Pollock to
the governorship and was appointed by him secretary of the commonwealth.
Mr. Curtin aided greatly in establishing the public schools on a solid basis.
It was through ids suggestion and efforts that normal schools for the train-ing
of teachers were established in this state. His services ns governor
brought him a re-election. He was United States minister to Kussla from
18GU to 1872.
FORMER MOUNT PLEASANT PEOPLE KILLED
James W. Gailey, a Veteran of the Civil War, at the Mc-
Keesport Home of His Son, James M. Gailey, and
Charles Baughman at Everett, Washington.
BOTH LOST THEIR LIVES AS THE RESULT OF ACCIDENT.
Two former citizens of this place lost their lives during the past week as
the results of accidents. The victims were James W. Gailey at the McKees-port
home of his son, James M. Gailey, on Friday and Charles Baughman
who passed away the same day at a hospital in Everett, Washington.
THE ELECTION
WILE BE HERE
TUESDAY NEXT
And the Political Cat is Hop-ping
Around Lively
THAT IS ONLY FOR THE ONE OFFICE
NOT ONLY IN THIS COUNTY BUT OVER
IN ‘‘OLD FIATT.”
The Judgeship Fight Holds the Cen-ter
of the Stage in Both Counties.
Despite the Big Republican Major-ity
in 'Vestmoreland Democrats are
Hopei lof Re Electing Judge Doty,
Althc jh the O. 0. P. Sees Nothing
but C [well, While the Fayette Un-terrifi
d Confidently Expect to Put
Judge Umbel Back on the Bench.
The election comes on Tuesday next,
November 2nd, when, in the state, a
Supreme Court Judge, Auditor Gen-eral
and State Treasurer and, in this
county, a Common Fleas Court Judge
to succeed Judge Doty, District At-torney,
Frothonotary,Clerk of Courts,
three Foor Directors and a Jury Com-missioner
are to be chosen by ballot at
the polls, and yet all interest in West-moreland
centers around the judicial
contest in which the Democratic can-didate,
Judge L.ticien W. Doty, would
succeed himself. His opponents are
Charles C. Crowell, Republican, and
John D Gill, Prohibitionist. The
Fayette county sides are the same.
Judge Robert E. Umbel is the Demo-cratic
nominee and his own would-be
successor. Opposed is Alfred E. Jones,
the Republican nominee A Director
of the Poor and Jury Commissioner
are to be elected, too; but, they have
been lost sight of.
Westmoreland Republicans have noth-ing
to say against Judge Doty; in fact,
they all admit his marked ability, but
they claim that twenty years on the
bench is long enough for even a good
man to have and enjoy a good thing.
They, therefore, propose to retire the
Hon. Lucien W. Doty to private life by
electing Charles C. Crowell, Esq., as his
successor. They can easily do it, too, if
they line up as a party at the polls; for,
they have a majority of several thousand
to start with on a close count of noses,
to say nothing of not a few Democrats
who have gotten over the party trace to
the extent that they will not vote for
their judicial candidate this time.
Judge Doty and his friends, however,
are not allowing anything to get away
from them by default. Holding that a
tried, faithful and efficient public ser-vant
should be retained, they have gone
into the fight to win. They admit they
have a minority handicap; but, they are
hopeful of success. Judge Doty turned
the trick ten years ago and, while his
votes to the good then were but 172, ]
they say that he can duplicate that per-formance
n'Jw. He may be able to do
so, although on the face of aftairs politi-cal
Mr. Crowell certainly has the call.
If, however, Judge Doty should win, it
will be by the votes of Republicans who
are not saying anything. Still it is safe
to predict that Mr. Gill will run ahead
of his party’s cold water vote.
The Republican county candidates
held a well attended reception in the
bank and trust company assembly rooms
Tuesday. The function was of an infor-mal
order. Clever talks were made by
Mr. Crowell and E. E. Robbins, D. C.
Ogden, C. E. Whitten and L. B. Hull S.
C. Stevenson presided at the meeting.
Fayette county Democrats are also in
the minority and yet they claim they are
going to re-eleet Judge Umbel, whose
Republican opponent is Alfred E. Jones.
Esq. It is said that there is an under-standing,
by which Judge Umbel is lo
become his own successor. In the way
of reciprosity the Democrats are lo see
to it that Fayette county sends a solid
G. O. P. delegation to the Legislature. If
this report is true, Mr. Dumbauld, whom
Judge Umbel defeated for the Democratic
nomination, isn’t paying any attention
to the agreement, as he is fighting Robert
tooth and toe nail. Color is added to
the alleged deal by the claim that the
Burnses are not breaking their G. O. P
backs trying to carry Mr. Jones over the
breastworks. The returns will tell the
facts. — —^ m ^

The elder Mr. Gailey, who was a vete-ron
of the Civil war, was found in a
dving condition in the yard of his son’s
home about 3 o'clock Friday morning,
death resulting a few minutes alter he
was carried back into the house. He
had shortly before the accident happened
called his daughter-in-law to his room
and asked for his son. Mis. Gailey in-duced
him to go back to bed, saying she
would send the son to him when he re-turned
from his work. SheVias in a dose
when she heard a noise. Thinking the
aged gentleman was going to the bath
room she did not arise immediately.
Later she heard a groan and going to his
room she discovered the open window
and the absence of Mr. Gailey.
Mr. Gailey was 84 years old and had
been feeble for the past ten years. His
mind had been weakened by illness a^id
it is supposed that he thought he was
making his way to the bath room on the
second floor near his room when he
raised a window opposite the door to
the bath room and fell ont. His body
struck the roof of a porch and fell to a
cement walk below, a distance of 15 feet.
A bruise on the forehead was the only
mark on the body which was brought
here Monday and buried in the ceme-tery.
Mr. Gailey was a member of the local
United Presbyterian church and is sur-
To THE VOTERS OF WESTMORELANE
COUNTY:—It is a great satisfaction that the
campaign thus far, except a few instan-ces,
has been a clean one. The newspa-pers
of the county, with a single excep-tion,
have appreciated the importance
of this election and have been disposed
to treat all candidates fairly. And this
ts well, because it is most importont that
the people do not lose faith in the judi-ciary.
As a rule it is wise to pay no heed to
stories put in circulation for campaign
purposes, because unfair statements are
sure to hurt those who make them. But
at this time there are charges which
should be noticed because they are so
widely and persistently circulated that
possibly some may be misled thereby.
1st, It is alleged that I am the owner
of stock in a brewery situated in this
couuty. This is not true and never was
vived by his son named above and two
daughters, Mrs. Henry Eichar, of Tarr,
and Mrs. Caroline Dewalt, of Mononga-hela.
Mrs. Harry W. Giles, of this place,
is a step-daughter, Mr. Gailey having
been married twice.
Charles Baughman, whose old Mount
Pleasant friends called him “Boney" as
he was tall and thin, died Friday morn-ing
in a hospital at Everett, Washington.
It seems from a letter he dictated after
being taken to the hospital and sent to
his people here several weeks ago that
he met with an accident while working
in a lumber camp in that state. His leg
was badly crushed and this injury later
resulted fatally. As it would have cost
$300 or $400 to bring his remains here,
the interment was made at Everett on
Saturday last.
Mr. Baughman was 40 years of age and
is survived by his widow and two chil-dren
who are living with Mrs. Baugh-man's
mother at Brownsville, Pa.; and
three brothers and two sisters—Henry,
John and Miss Annie Baughmun and
Mrs. Elizabeth Koontz, of this place, and
Adam Baughman, of Star Junction, Fay-ette
county. He had been separated
from his wife and family for some four
years past which he spent in the west-
There was no quarrel between them. He
simply followed his disposition to rove
about from place to place.
true. I never owned directly or indi-rectly
a dollar’s worth of stock in any
brewery situated in this county or else-where.
2nd. It is insinuated rather than spe-cifically
charged by (he newspaperabove
referred to that certain brewery inter-ests
have exercised and expect to exer-cise
influence on the court in the grant-ing
of licenses. This charge is likewise
wholly uufouuded so far as such inter-ests
have heretofore exercised any such
influence. It is not true in point of fact
and such charge necessarily reflects on
both judges who sit and who have equal
power in the license court. And the
unjust part of it is that the manager and
officers of the corporation which pub-lishes
the paper know that the charge is
unfounded.
The truth is that the liquor question
is the least important issue in this cam-paign.
The hearing of licenses takes one
day in the year The balance of the year
is devoted to matters of at least equal
importance. At this time the brewery
interests are divided. It is well known
that several leading breweries of the
connty are very active in support of one
of my competitors tor the office. And to
drive others to support the same candi-date,
the. threat is published that in the
event of my election a solid local option
delegation will be seQt to Harrisburg
Surely if the local option people are
wise such challenge will be accepted.
It is also persistently circulated that
after a continuous service of twenty five
years a judge can retire on a pension for
the balance of bis life. There is no such
law on the statute books. No pensions
are granted in this state to soldiers,
teachers, firemen or judges. The policy
of the dominant party has been against
such pension, and no bill has been pass-ed
granting a pension to judges because
of service for any number of years.
And finally one word more. No matter
how this election results I shall never
again be a candidate (or any public of-fice.
If elected, I shall enter the office
absolutely free from any obligations or
motive which might tend to make me
swerve from the path of duty. I, there-fore,
appeal for support to every citizen
and taxpayer because I believe that as a
result of experience, I am better quali-fied
than at any time heretofore to dis-charge
the important duties of this office.
And if defeated, I shall be satisfied in
the reflection that I tried to conduct a
clean campaign, and in such endeavor
had the support of a host of loyal friends.
Respectfutly,
LUCIEN W. DOTY.
DEATHS OF THE WEEK.
The Grim Reaper’s Work in This Placo and
Vicinity.

Old Mount Pleasant friends of M.
F. Cochran, of Twin Falls, Idaho,
who formerly resided at Stauffer, will
be pleased to learn that things are
coming his way in pleasant bunches,
according to reports brought back here
by his brother, W. S. Cochran, the
Stauffer merchant, who recently fe-turned
from a six weeks’ visit paid the
subject of this sketch.
Millard Fillmore Cochran got tired of
haniing sand lo the Standard coke works
from the old Snyder bank at Bridgeport
twenty-one years ago and, following
Horace Greeley’s advice, went west. He
began right when he settled at Colfax,
Washington, as it was there he moved
and won Miss Anna Smith for his bride.
This happy union has been blessed by
one son, Roy, a sturdy lad, who is now
well up in his teens and whose camera
took the picture from which the cut of
his father in this issue was made.
Mr. Cochran learned well drilling from
John Shupe, older son of the late Lewis
Shupe, of this place, whom he took
along with him for that purpose. The
younger Mr. Shupe and his brother, Ar-thur,
are now located at Los Angeles,
California.
That a successful well driller makes
good money in western arid spots Mr.
Cochran has the goods to show. He has
a nice home in Twin Falls, a 640-acre
ranch in the Quincy Valley, Washington^
and two town sites, on at Quincy, Wash-ington,
and the other at Castle Rock,
Oregon. He gave three acres of land for
the big public school building at Quincy
whose citizens not only made him a.
school director but had his name cut in
the beltcourse of the pretty structure as
donor of the grounds. The places named
are on the Great Northern railroad.
Mr. Cochran is making his mark as
a farmer, too. He had his ranch all
out in wheat this year, raising 40 bushels
to the acre. He is also vice president of
the National Bank of Quincy and inter-ested
in a real estate agency there. He
and his brother, W. S., are negotiating
for the purchase of a whole valley m.

Rev. C. W. Haines Will Retire From the

The many friends of Rev. C. W. Haines
will regret to learn that his resignation
as pastor of thelocal First Baptist church
will take effect January 1, 1910, instead
of one year hence, as stated in THE
JOURNAL through a mistake. It is the
reverend gentleman’s intention to retire
to his New Jersey farms which comprise
over 1,000 acres ot the best trucking land
in that state. He will also take charge
of and improve the cranberry bogs, of
which his aged father is the owner, mak-ing
his home at Mooretown, N. J., with
Mrs. Haines whose host of friends is also
not confined to her husband's church, in.
which she is a most faithful and efficient
worker.
Rev. Mr. Haines's local pastorate has
been exceeded in length but by one of
his predecessors, the late Rev. N. L.
Reynolds, as it foots up over eight years
of earnest work tor the Master. During
that time he has been Moderator of the
Monongahela Baptist Association for five
years, president of the Young People’s
Societies of that body for the same length
of time, and president of the Westmore-land
County Sabbath School Association
for the past two years.

When Silas Strong, old bachelor,
bought a farm in the outskirts of the
village of Fowlerviile and set up his
bachelor’s hall he was at peace with
all mankind. Two weeks later he was
rushing to and fro with a pitchfork
in his hands seeking the life of a
Strange hog that had Invaded his prem-ises.
For four years the Widow Ta-bor,
down in the village, had owned a
hog. For three years the animal had
been known ns “the widow's hog," to
distinguish him from the half hundred
other hogs permitted to meander
around. The villagers told tales about
that hog. tie was tall and long and
rangy. Ho was ever hungry, lie was
a tighter. He was a destroyer of gar-dens
and the happiness of the owners
thereof. He deserved death by the
hands of gun, ax or club, but he had
been spared because be was owned by
a widow.
The widow’s hog had waited a rea-sonable
length of time and then paid
a visit to the newcomer and rooted up
balf an acre of potatoes. Silas Strong
was slow to anger, hut he couldn't
Btand that. After vainly trying to
catch the hog he set himself to locate
the owner. When this had been done
he put on his Sunday suit and made a
call. He had the dnmages figured up
and knew just what he was going to
say. The Widow Tabor wasn’t expect-ing
him, but she was not a lilt flustrat-ed.
Mr. Strong had hardly begun his
story of infamy on the part of the hog
when he was interrupted with:
“Dear, dear me, but 1 am so sorry.
I wish he wouldn't act this way. Mr.
Strong, I have just been making some
elderberry wine, and 1 wish you would
give me your opinion on it.”
When he had done so she asked an-other
opinion about blackberry jam,
and from that she insisted that lie sam-ple
a custard pie, and when he finally-started
home lie had forgiven the hog
and had a good opinion of the widow.
Those sentiments were not lasting.
Only a week had passed when the
same hog tore his way through a stout
fence and did some more rooting.
Silas Strong was stirred to the utter-most
by the outrage. The widow and
the hog shared his invectives alike. As
soon as he could get his breath and
breakfast he set out for t lie village.
He may have been expected, for the
door was opened to him with a sweet
smile, and before he could utter a
•word the widow said:
“I am very glad to see you. One of
the legs of the cook stove has fallen
out and I do wish you’d fix It for me.”
The leg was no sooner in place than
the widow mentioned that she was
afraid the “mother” in the vinegar
barrel on the sunny side of the house
was dead, and she took Silas out to
see. He gave his opinion, and then
she asked his advice about keeping
Leghorn chickens Instead of Brahmas,
and the upshot was that lie went away
without bringing the thunders of heav-en
upon her head. He got as far as to
say that the liog had paid him another
visit, hut she changed the conversation
to the coming circus, and he found
himself on his way home in a puzzled
frame of mind. He wanted to forgive
the widow without forgiving the hog,
but as they seemed to be one and in-separable
how was it to he brought
about? Silas bothered over this mat-ter
for ten days and then got up one
morning to find another battlefield be-fore
his eyes. The widow’s hog had
made the third unannounced visit. He
had rooted up the soil, and he had
chewed up things. He had spared
neither age nor sex. It was simply a
gigantic case of malicious trespass and
deserved death at once. As Silas could
not catch him and administer the
death stroke, he took a bite to eat and
then started for Liverpool, a village
five miles away. As soon as he got
there he laid the widow and the hog
and the trespass before the lawyer,
and when the latter had got the de-tails
he said:
“It’s the plainest case I ever had.
The hog has got to die.”
Silas Strong felt an elation as he
started for home. The law was be-hind
him, and the law was to vindi-cate
him. He had given the widow
and her hog a chance, hut th«v had
not Taken advantage of it. At the end
of a mile or so, however, this elation
began to lose its edge, and ten minutes
later he was wishing that he hadn’t
been so prompt. Horn the hog, hut
Sirs. Tabor was n widow. She had
given him pleasant greeting. She had
asked his advice. She had fed him
custard pie. She may have been left
that hog as a heritage, and she
couldn’t he expected to cither kill him
[ or follow him around nights. Silas
was feeling rather ashamed of his
! movements when he came niton a fe-male
sitting on the hank of the high-way
and weeping. Standing in the
middle of the road was an old horse
and buggy belonging to a party in
Fowlerviile. The harness had broken,
and the outfit had come to a stand-still.
The woman was recognized at
once as the Widow Tabor. As Silas
descended from his rig she rose up
and tearfully welcomed him.
It was the duty of Silas Strong to
comfort her. He did his duty, some
of it with an arm around her waist.
He had forgotten hogs and lawyers
and eases of trespass when he saw a
man driving up whom he recognized
as a constable. He was on his way
to Fowlerviile to serve the summons.
“Might as well turn around,” an-nounced
Silas.
“But why?”
“A feller can’t sue his own wife, can
he?”
And the constable sighed and drove
on. M. QUAD.
He Dodged Cold Mutton.
Green, the 'English historian, one
day asked a friend which of all the
inventions of their day had doue the
most for the people as a whole. Ilis
friend guessed this and that, hut the
answer was:
“Beyond doubt, sixpenny photo-graphs.”
A reply involving quite as great an
absurdity as that was made by Cecil
Rhodes in answer to a lady who.
seeking to draw him out, suggested
that he owed his phenomenal rise to
the impetus of nobto sentiments.
“Madam,” returned Mr. Rhodes, “I
owe my fortune simply and solely to
cold mutton."
“Cold mutton!" gasped tile lady.
“Oh, Mr. Rhodes, what do you menu?"
“When I was young." continued the
South African millionaire. “1 was so
dosed with cold mutton and 1 hated it
so cordially that I resolved to grow
rich in order to put it on one side for
the rest of my life. Yes. madam, cold
mutton was at the root of my success.
Noble sentiments had nothing to do
with it.”
The Drawback.
“Elsie says there was only one draw-back

“What was that?”

Practicing on Wooden Legs.
Of the five eases in the accident
ward that were pronounced cured at
the same time three remained in the |
hospital more than a week after the
other two had gone home.
“They had to stay.” said an interne, J
"to get used to their wooden legs, it j
takes some time to learn to manage
them, and most men who will have to
peg along with them for the rest of
their natural lives stay in the hospital
several days after they get well to
practice stumping around on their new
legs. Of course they can learn out-side,
hut the man who has just ac-quired
a wooden leg feels so awkward |
and is so likely to fall down and break
the other leg or an arm or maybe his
neck that we prefer to keep him here
so he can take his first lessons under
our supervision.”—New York Press.
Thousand Islands.
The Lake of the Thousand Islands is
forty miles long and varies from four
to seven miles in width. It is both a
continuation of Lake Ontario and the
beginning of the St. Lawrence river.
The Thousand islands are replly about
1,700 in number, big and little. Many
of them are favorite summer resorts,
with hotels and boarding houses of
rich Americans and Canadians. The
voyage through them is picturesque,
aud many of the islands are illumi-nated
at night.

It’s the easiest thing in the world to
point out the proper course for others
to pursue.
Reason Why.
This is an age of specialists. If
there is trouble in the eye, an occu-list
is consulted. If the think tank is
not performing its proper function,
the brain specialist is the one sought
for relief. So it is, or at least should
be, when it comes to providing pro-tection
for any part of the body.

MEASURING
THE ROADS.
This Must be Done by the Township
Supervisors on or Before
November 13th.
il IS TO SET THE Sim
The time for supervisors to measure the roads in townships in compli-nce
with the act of May 13, 1909, expires November 13. The new law,
where it is elected to collect road tax in cash, gets each such township cash
from the state to the amount of one-half the total tax so raised. The act
goes on to say:
“The sum of one million dollars, or so much thereof as may be requir-ed,
is hereby appropriated to carry out the provisions of this act, for the one
fiscal year beginning the tirst day of June, one thousand nine hundred and
ten: Provided further, That within six months after the passage of this act,
the Board of Township Supervisors shall measure all public roads in their re-spective
townships. Such measurements shall be made either by the use of
a cyclomometer or otherwise, as the board may direct, and they shall report
the number of miles of road in such township to the State Highway Com-missioner.

J
A young gentleman in a neat trav-eling
suit alighted from a stagecoach
In a frontier town. Ilis baggage was
handed down from the "boot,” and he
entered the office and bar of the tav-ern.
Taldng out his gold watch, he
glanced at the time, then went out
on the porch and looked about as
though expecting some one. Not see-ing
what he wanted, he returned to
the barroom, took a cigar out of a
case, lighted it, tilted a chair up
against the wall and snt down and
smoked.
On one side of the bar stood the
landlord, on the other a red faced,
stubble bearded man in a flannel shirt
and a revolver slung to his hip. From
a back room came the occasional sound
of “Keno!” indicating that a game was
' in progress.
\ “Tenderfoot!” remarked the stubble
l^earded man.
1 “Reckon,” replied the landlord.
Wonder what he’s goin’ to do in
them fine clothes out yere?”
At that moment a man who may be
similarly described as the one at the
bar, except for two revolvers instead
of one, each a foot long, staggered out
of the gambling room and was about
to walk up to the bar for a drink
when be caught sight of the stranger.
He stopped short and ran his eye from
the golf cap at the top of the picture
down to a pair of “toothpick” shoes
at the foot. The stranger, apparently
all unconscious of the attention he ex-cited,
sat in ids chair, tilted up against
the wall, his cigar standing straight
out before him. The man from the
gambling room seemed paralyzed with
Indignation that any such specimen
of gentility should desecrate the spot.
Raising one of his revolvers, he aimed
deliberately at the stranger’s cigar,
fired and knocked it into small frag-ments.
The landlord dodged behind the bar,
and the stubble faced man now ducked.
The stranger took nnotber cignr from
his case, put his band in his trousers
pocket, fumbled for something, took
out a silver match safe, lighted his
cigar and proceeded to smoke as
though nothing worthy of notice had
happened. The man with two revolv-ers
stood staring at him with a look
of blank astonishment. That a tender-foot
from the effete east should disre-gard
his warning not to insult the
place with his effeminate presence,
cigar case and Havana cigars was too
much for his emotional nature. He
raised his weapon and fired a second
shot, removing the offensive cigar in
the same manner as the first.
The equanimity of the stranger re-ained
still unruffled. He did not
ven glance at his instructor In west-rn
manners. For a third time he
drew forth his cigar case, selected an-other
cigar, replaced the case and put
the cigar between his lips. The land-lord
and the stubble faced man looked
at him with an intensity of interest
far greater than they had thus far
shown, marked as that interest had
been. They felt sure that if the young
tenderfoot again disregarded the kind-ly
warning given him as to what the
wild west would accept he would pay
for his obstinacy with his life. The
man who had done the tiring after
each shot replaced his revolver at his
hip. having no idea that this girl man,
as he considered the stranger, was
armed.
The stranger stretched out his legs,
et his chair down square on the floor
nd thrust his hand in his trousers
ocket as he had done before for his
atch safe. The landlord and the
tubble faced man changed position so
a to be farther from the line of fire
f the man who was giving instrue-cm
in western manners. The pupil
row his baud from his pocket, in-iosing
as it was supposed his match
afe. but no one saw' what it was, for
here was no time. In a fraction of a
cond a “bulldog” 45 caliber revolver
arked, and the professor of western
anners fell dead.
The surprise of the lookers-on was
not tnat someooay nna got Kinea, nut
that it had been the wrong man. They
looked at the victim, then at the
stranger, then at each other. Then
the stubble faced man said:
“Would y’ mind, Mr. Tenderfoot,
showin’ me that weepon?”
Tlie tenderfoot displayed a short,
ugly looking pistol.
“Who mought y’ he, stranger?” ask-ed
the landlord, eying the owner of
the gun curiously.
“I’m Brlsbain, owner of Brisbain’s
ranch. I’ve been down east ou a visit
to my folks. Just got back. Expect
to find my man here about now with
a horse. Seen anything of him?”
At that moment a mounted man and
a led horse darkened the door of the
cabin. Mr. Brisbain returned tlie salute
cf his man, mounted the led horse, and
both rode away, leaving the instructor
in western manners lying on the floor
to be attended to by the landlord and
the stubble faced man.
“Reckon,” said the latter, scratching
his head, “y* can’t most always tell
by a man’s clothes how safe it is to
fool with him.”
“Specially if y’ don’t know the kind
of gun he carries. Them ‘bulldogs’ is
turrable dangerous at short range.
D’y’ know who the feller is?”
“Brisbain he said his name was.”
“And do y’ know who Brisbain is?”
“No.”
“He’s a chap as come out yere a mat-ter
o’ five year ago from Chicago tc
start a ranch—black sheep or sumpin
of a rich family. Served an enlist-ment.
He shoots to kill. Come, help
me out with this.”
And they removed the corpse.
Good Looking Brides Wanted.
Shortly after an angry looking couple
flounced out of the chapel the pastor
of an uptown church presented la per-plexed
countenance before tlie busy
sexton.
"As you know,” said he, “I am new
in this parish and new in the city.
Perhaps there are a few things I ought
to know. Why, for instance, do so
many people who never attend service
in this church wish to be married
here ?”
“Because our church,” said the sex-ton,
“has the name of turning out the
youngest and handsomest brides in
New York. Our reputation for good
works is dwarfed by our reputation
for beautiful brides. To say that a
woman is married here is equivalent
to saying that she is a ‘good looker.’
We are not supposed to deal in brides
of any other description.”
“No wonder,” groaned the pastor,
“that that plain looking woman went
away in a huff. I earnestly advised
her to l>e married in her own parish.”
—New York Globe.
Wonders of a Japanese Hamlet.
Perhaps the most astonishing presen-tation
of "Hamlet” ever seen on any
stage was a Japanese version given by
native actors at Kobe. The Kobe Her-ald
describes it as “a wonderful mix-ture
of the beautiful and the gro-tesque.
With an Ophelia sometimes in
graceful kimono and sometimes In
western evening costume and a king
who at one time appears in the pic-turesque
costume of a Japanese noble-man
and at others dons a silk hat and
a swallowtail coat, the effect is so
kaleidoscopic that a spectator has tho
sensation of being perpetually trans-ferred
from one phase of civilization
to another. The climax is reached in
Hamlet himself, who in the earlier
scenes wears the uniform of a student
of the Imperial university, in the third
act makes his appearance on a bicycle,
clad in a bright blue cycling suit and
striped stockings, and at the finish is
seen in conventional evening dress
with a flower in his buttonhole.”
Tonsorial Triumph.
“What was the best job you ever
did?” Inquired the first barber.
“1 once shaved a man,” replied the
second ditto.
“Well?”
“Weil, then I persuaded him to have
a hair cut, siuge, shampoo, face mas-sage.
sea foam, electric buzz, tar spray
and finally u tonic rub.”
“Wbat then?”
“By that time,” concluded barber
No. 2, “be needed another shave.”—

Mount Pleasant has within its borders a population of over
6,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately
around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by
a postoffice distribution of over 15,000 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 l umber and Hupply Company
Anchor Glass Factory. Searchlight Manufacturing Compa y’s stovt
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, October 28 1909
LET US TRY.
At last week’s meeting of the State
Railroad Commission in Harrisburg the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad agreed to con-tinue
operation of a line between Niv-erton
and Worth, Somerset county, alter
complaint by L. T. Brandom and others.
The same company agreed to re-establish
passenger service on its Smithfield and
Masontown branch on application of
Ralph Ross and others. The Pittsburg
A Lake Erie agreed to re-open its sta
tion at West Economy, Beaver county,
which had been closed, forcing people
to go five miles, and assurance was re-ceived
from the Pennsylvania rnlroad
that it would build the projected line
from Hollidaysburg to Bedlord and give
facilities to a large section.
And why shouldn’t the Pennsylvania
people restore the passenger service on
the Mount Pleasant branch whose freight
traffic alone is greater than that prom-ised
the stockholders when they were
asked to approve of donbletracking the
mainline of this company between Phil-adelphia
and Pittsburg? THE JOURNAL
firmly believes that if a vigorous kick
is made by the people of Mount Pleasant
and vicinity to this commission the
company can be compelled to again put
passenget trains on between here and
Scottdale Junction. Let us try.
OVER in Fayette county it is said that
the Republican machine is secretly sup-porting
Judge Umbel, the Democratic
nominee, under an agreement that the G
O. P. will get a solid delegation to the
next Legislature. If this is true, it's
pretty tough on State Senator Crow.
BIO ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTE.
Mrs. Emmilene Gould Pankhurst, the
English sufiragette leader, who has come
to this country to lecture for the cause,
is a typical Englishwoman of the upper
middle class, with wavy brown hair,
slightly streaked with gray, somewhat
tired-looking eyes, a somewhat drooping
mouth and a chin inclined to squareness
She is of medium heighth, with square
shoulders, and does not boast any super-fluous
flesh.
Mrs. Parkhurst was born in Mancher-ter
on the anniversary of the stormingof
the Bastile, was educated in Paris and
was brought up in an atmosphere of in-tense
radicalism.
In 1879 she married Dr. Parkhurst
who had helped John Stuart Mill draw
np the first woman suflrage bill, and
•hortly afterward was placed on the ex-ecutive
committee of the only woman
suffrage society existing at the time She
has, therefore, seen active work in the
cause of about 30 years.
It is to be hoped, however, that Mrs.
Parkhurst will not lead American women
to become as fanatical as some ol her
overzealous English sisters who fought
with the police and had to be locked up.
JUDGE DOTY defeated his majority Re-publican
opponent ten years ago; but, if
organization of his political enemies
counts for anything, he has a much big-ger
job on his hands this time.
HIGH COST OF LIVING.
No hope of permanently lower prices
for meat was held out by delegates to
the fourth annual convention of the
American Packers' Association, meeting
in Chicago last week. Michael Ryan,
president of the association, said that
prices might drop slightly for a short
time as there had been some increase in
the number of cattle raised recently, but
this boon to American housewives would
be short-lived.
Unless many, many more cattle are
grown there can be no hope of lower
prices, and America may find itself an
importer of meat is about all the com-fort

We might all turn vegetarians;
but, that wouldn't help us much in the
light of statistics which show that since
1896 the cost of living expenses has in-creased
49 per cent. There is a way,
however, to get even with the meat trust:
eat less meat. Then, too, we would all
feel better it we dieted ourselves.

PERTINENT REMARKS
Made by J. Q Truxal, Chairman of the Dem-ocratic
County Committee
Greensburg, Pa, Oct. 20, 1909.
To THE VOTERS OF WESTMORELAND
COUNTY:—My attention has been called
to the lollowing statement conspicuously
made by the Greensburg Daily Tribune,
the Crowell organ, in reference to the
present campaign:
“It has resolved itself info the simple
proposion of two liquid corporations
with offices in Pittsburg, through their
two handy men in Westmoreland county,
seizing the machinery of the Democratic
party to maintain their control of liquor
licenses.”
I desire to call the attention of all
voters to this base insinuation and
vicious assault upon the judiciary of
Westmoreland county. It should be
known by all men that in the disposi-tion
of liquor licenses both judges act
jointly. This is no mere fiction of law
or theory, but an actual fact as to the
practice of the court. They will not
even transler a liquor license unless
Doth act together. Therefore, the above
wanton mudslingiug is an aspersion upon
the integrity of Hon. A. D. McConnell as
well as upon Judge Doty. How do the
friends of Judge McConnell like it?
Very truly yours,
J. G. TRUXAL.

Paul a Prisoner—The Voyage. Acts
Xxvii:l-2C.
Golden Text—Commit thy way unto
the Lord; trust also in him; and he
Shall bring it to pass. Ps. xxxviRfi.
Verses 1-8—The writer of this nar-rative
appears to be a companion of
Paul on this journey—who was he?
Who were the others that sailed
with Paul?
What results are likely to follow,
when a man of God Is compelled to be
in the company of criminals?
Who waR this man Julius, and what
probably Induced him to treat the
prisoner Paul with such leniency?
IR there any position In life, how-ever
undesirable. In which God does
not give his children special comfort,
even when In prison, and can you give
some examples of ‘his?
Julius gave Paul his freedom to visit
his friends when the ship touched at
Eidon; would it have been honorable
of J’aul to have made his escape and
not to have returned to the ship, see-ing
he was an innocent man on parole?
Can you tell, or point out on the
map, where Sidon. Cyprus, Pamphylia,
Myra and flie other places here men-tioned
are situated’
When the winds are against us, or
we are becalmed on the voyage of
life, and making but little headway,
is it a hindrance or a help to the
soul poised on God?
Versos 9-11—Why is the advice of a
man of God, other things being equal,
more to be trusted than that of any
other man?
Did Paul give the advice for them
not to proceed, but lo winter at the
"fair havens,” from his human Judg-menl
or from God s direction?
Why may, or may not, s true
Christian always depend that, the
judgments he forms in the great crises
of life as well as in ordinary affairs,
are really Inspired of God and can
therefore be depended upon? (See
John xiv:26. et soq.)
Verses 12-20—When we are faced
with a great problem as to the way
to take, or the thing to do, Is there
always in the mind of God the thing
we ought to do, and is there a possi-bility
for us to find out with cer-tainty
what it is? (This question must
be answered in writing by members of
the club.)
Why is it that God sometimes leads
us contrary to what the circumstances,
.tvould suggest?
When we are irresistably driven by
a "euroclydon,” and appear at the
mercy of the wind and sea, is there
reason to believe that we are just as
safe, and as much in God’s keeping,
as when ‘the south wind blows softly?’
When in stress and strain, in wind
and storm, and we appear to he driv
ing into disaster and death, will the
consciousness that God is witn ns,
quicken or deaden our activities to
save ourselves?
Verses 21-26—Is there ever any use
in “crying over spilt milk?”
What reason is there to believe from
this narrative, that when we fail to
use, and It Is too 1*4? to adopt God’s
best plan, lie will still graciously pro-vide
a good one which we may adopt?
What did these people miss, and
what did they suffer, for having failed
to use God’s first best plan for their
safety ?

Live Spiders Food For Young Wasps.
The young of some wasps can live
bnly on live spiders, and the mother
■wasp therefore renders the spider
powerless by her stiug, after which P
can live a month, and then deposits it
in the cocoon where she has laid her
egg. On hatching out the wasp grubs
feed on the bodies of the living spi-ders.
Another wasp deposits her egg
in the body of the spider, which is
then burled alive and is fed upon by
the wasp grub.—London Standard.
During (lie heat of (he midsummer
it is especially necessary that flocks of
liens which are confined should have a
supply of green food in some form,
with a plentiful supply of clean, fresh
water.
However favorable Irrigation may he
as a means of using otherwise waste
water, it is an interesting fact that of
(lie water diverted into Irrigation ca-nals
but one-third is finally utilized in
the actual production of crops.
A good table relish may be had dur-ing
the early fall days if some string
beans are planted early In August
after some other garden crop has been
removed. They will lie appreciated be-cause
the time of green tilings has
gone by.
A Texas farmer living twenty miles
from El Paso Inst year raised water-melons
under dry farm conditions
with a rainfall of but 9.84 inches dur-ing
(lie year. It would sort of puzzle
a fellow to tell just where the juice
til these melons ennie from.
Instances of death from descending
Into wells long unused are of too fre-quent
occurrence. In such instances
death is due to the presence in the
well of carbon dioxide, which, being
heavy, settles to tile bottom and in
which it is impossible for a human
being to breathe. It is always well
before going into such a well to lower
n lantern by means of a rope. If It
continues to burn at the bottom it
means that the life giving oxygon is
there and that it is safe to descend.
If the light goes out the presence of
carbon dioxide is shown, and tills
means that death lurks at the bottom.
Ties w hich are being scattered along
most railways for repair work are
black as your liat, showing evidence of
treatment with creosote, one of the
most effective wood preservatives
known. Years ago the abundance and
cheapness of ties were such that the
question was one of minor considera-tion,
but today even poor ties cost
sixty cents apiece. It is estimated that
the creosote bath costs from thirty to
fifty cents per tie and increases its life
three or four times. During 1!K)8
50,000,000 gailons of creosote were
used in preserving timber, as well as
19,000,000 jtounds of zinc chloride.
Stick to the Country.
Life in a metropolis makes young
children sharp, but not clever. It often
destroys their chance of ever being
clever, for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; it makes
them superficial, alert, but not observ-ant;
excitable, but without one spark
of enthusiasm. They are apt to grow
blase, fickle, discontented. They see
more things than the country bred
child, but not such interesting things,
and they do not properly see anything,
for they have neither the time nor ca-pacity
to get at the root of all the be-wildering
objects they crowd Into their
little lives.
Those orchardists who are receiving
the largest returns quite generally fol-low
the practice of baud thinning the
fruit on overloaded trees. This not
only relieves the heavy pull on trees
which set too heavily, but insures a
larger and more uniform size and bet-ter
quality of fruit. This thinning,
which is done when the apples are
about an inch through, makes possi-ble
the elimination of dwarfed and
defective fruit and reduces the work
of picking by just so much at harvest
time. In the thinning process no care
is required in the handling of the ap-ples,
and the work can b» <ione vapidly.

"Very well," replied I lardy, quietly;
"but If we shoot again, I shall shoot
to kill, t beg that you will Inform Ills
highness of my Intentions, at the same
»..uo .i jrnif, to mm uio assurance
of my most distinguished considera-tion."
“You have missed," whispered Gort-clmkov,
petulantly. “Why did you do
this? You're as cool tills minute as 1
am. Are you sure you have not
wounded kim?”
“My principal demands another
shot,” said Koukolnlk, advancing. "He
presents his compliments to Mr.
Hardy, and suggests that he has not
done justice to his great reputation
for skill. Perhaps he will get better
control of his nerves, now that he has
escaped danger once, and his hand
will not tremble ns much as it evident-ly
has done this time.”
"Tell the prince for me that, If we
shoot again, I shall do myself the hon-or
of lodging a ball exactly midway
between his eyes."

ersed over half the distance when
Hardy said:
“I am faint, lieutenant. Let me lean
on you for a moment.”
“My God, you are wounded!" cried
Gortchnkov, putting his arm about the
American's waist; and, indeed, a dark
stain, rapidly spreading, dyed his
waistcoat and shirtfront.
“I—1 am slightly wounded," gasped
Hardy, and fainted away.
“What’s the matter there with our
man?” asked Romanoff, In a voice that
made no attempt to conceal a nn r.
“He seems to be slightly weary. I
thought I must have hit him. How is
it, surgeon? Have I done his business
for him?”
“He is seriously wounded, I fear,"
replied the surgeon. “Get his coat
about him. Here, lift him into the
sledge. I>et me get in with you. Now,
drive like mad; drive, I say!"
CHAPTER XXXVII.
The Gold Cuff Button.
Ry the surgeon's orders, Gortchakov
drove directly to a hospital, where
Hardy was laid upon a bed and his
wound examined and dressed. , The
prince’s bullet had passed through
the flesh beneath the shoulder, ma-king
a clean perforation—a painful
but not a dangerous wound. Hardy
revived in the sledge, and to Gort-chakov's
demand why he had shot so
badly, made no reply other than:
“The best-intentioned bullets some-times
go astray. I turn him over to
you, lieutenant, I have not deprived
you of the pleasure of killing him
yourself.”
His coat and shirt were, cut away
from his chest at the hospital, and a
young grub of an intern assisted the
surgeon in washing the wound and
passing a silk handkerchief through
it an operation that caused the pa-tient
to bite his nether lip till it bled,
but did not draw a groan from him.
“You will be all right in about a
month," said the surgeon, on taking
his leave, “but I beg you, if you think
of fighting again, either to postpone
your little affair till the spring
breezes begin to blow, or don’t call
on me to assist you. I shall have chil-blains
as a result of your foolishness,
that may cause me more suffering
than your nasty little puncture.”
Gortchakov departed in a surly
humor, evidently disgruntled because
his principal had failed to remove the
lieutenant’s chief rival, as he sup-posed,
to another sphere, where they
neither marry nor are given in mar-riage.
Hardy was left alone with a large-honed,
florid nurse of peasant type,

' was disposed to be inquisitve as to the
cause of the wound.
He rid himself of the intern by pre-
*sndine that he desired to nloon an,i
lien sent the nurse to telephone Tor
Wang.
The hoy arrived about noon.
‘What has happened, my dear mas
ter?" he sobbed, sinking on his knees
beside the cot, and taking one of
Hardy’s hand Jn both his own. “Are

producing the will and tearing it into
bits, "to increase my anxiety. Did
vou think that money could have com-pensated
me for your loss? Ob, It
ives cruel of you—cruel!”
"There!" said Hardy, kindly,
muched by the boy’s concern. “Get

lore by the side of (lie bed, and I’ll
ell you all about It. I, an American,

Mars., have fought a duel, nfid, I sus-aect.
about, a woman!”
"A—a woman?” stammered Wang,
turning suddenly pale.
"As nearly ns I can find out. I was
nailing on the Princess Romanovna,
paying her my respects, when in came
her cousin, the Prince Romanoff, and
Insulted me so grossly that I deemed
It my duty to demand satisfaction of
him. I strongly suspect that liis
highness’ antipathy to me is rooted
chiefly in the fact that I, on one oc-casion,
saved the life of his fair
cousin. He struck me in the face,
Wang."
As the American said these words
his own countenance flushed with
shame.
"lie struck you!” cried the Korean.
"I could spit on his corpse. 1 could
spurn it with my foot!”
“I have no doubt you could, thereby
displaying your devotion to my un-worthy
self. Your plan Is imprac-ticable,
however, for the simple rea-son
that there is no corpse. Romanoff
Is alive and well at the present mo-ment
and is no doubt gloating over my
discomfiture.”
"He Is not even wounded?" asked
the hoy.
“Not even wounded."
“But why did you not kill him when
you had the opportunity? It surely
ivould not have been difficult to hit
that great hulk of flesh. Is it then
safe to strike an American gentleman
In the face?”
"N—ot always. My rensons for not
killing him are too complicated for a
hoy to understand. They involve a
lady’s sanction of a duel, and then her
subsequent nullifying of that sanction.
They Involve, in general, a lady's re-quest,
which can hardly be overlooked
when she is, in reality, the cause of
the hatred which made the meeting
necessary. I)o you follow me, Wang?”
"1—I think I do,” replied the boy,
wearily. “You spared him because
the princess asked you to. You have
been magnanimous, whatever the cost
to yourself, and given the princess her
admirer, for whom, in his moment of
extreme peril, she found that, she
cared more than she had supposed.
And now you are done with the whole
Romanoff family!"
Hardy forgot his pain for the mo-ment
and started at the boy in open-moutlied
wonderment.
“If you were not a boy,” he said
at last, sinking back on the pillow, “I
should think you were a woman. Your
intuition in such matters is positively
marvelous. And now I mustn't talk
too much, for it makes this shoulder
ache like a bad tooth. I must get
well, and we must go back to Stry-etensk
and the store. But there is one
little thing that I want you to do for
me. Go to the place where the duel
was fought this morning. I shall de-scribe
the location exactly to you. Ro-manoff
stood near a large oak tree,
whose trunk divides about six feet
from the ground into two trunks equal
in size. Look about there and see if
you can find in the snow a gold cuff-button.
It is there, and, shining
against the white, should be easily
found. Bring it to me as quickly as
possible.”
Wang left without another word.
Not long after the hoy’s departure
the nurse brought in a bouquet of
priceless orchids, which she arranged
in a vase and set on a table near his
bed.
“An isvoschik brought them,” she
explained to Hardy. “Here is the
note that came with them.”
She handed him a tiny billet-doux
and raised one of the shades. Holding
the note in his teeth, he opened the
envelope with his good nand, and
read:
My Friend: I do not know what your
feelings are toward my unhappy self. I
had no idea that this deplorable affair
would end as it has. Will you allow me
to come in person and express my regret,
and do whatever lies In my power to al-leviate
your sufferings? Thank God you
are not killed!
ELIZABETHA ROMANOVNA.
“Tell the man that there is no an-swer
at present,” said Hardy to the
nurse.
Wang was gone two hours. When
he arrived he came straight to Hardy’s
couch and handed him a small gold
(inject, with a bit of linen hanging
o it.
“Ilore it Is,” he said; "It. Is stamped
with the crest of the Romanoff family
I thought yon had lost one of your
own cuff buttons.”
"Bring paper and envelopes," Hardy
requested of the nurse, “and then
leave us alone for n few minutes."
The woman complied.
“Now take my Indelible pen from
my waistcoat pocket and write."
Wnng sat down at the table and
'naked Inquiringly at bis master.
" Yen r II'ITHO-M," ill. la led Hardy, "I

“Your humble servant,
"FREDERICK COUIITLAND HARDY."
Wang laughed—a queer, hard little
laugh of mingled exultation and hate,
without waiting for any further direc-tions
from his master, lie put the cuff
button in the envelope with the note,
sealed it and directed It to the Prin-cess
Romanovna.
"You will take that to the princess’
palace,” directed Hardy, “and give It
into her highness’ own hands."
