MURDER DONE
' AT JONES MILLS
I MONDAY LAST
As Result of a Feud Between
Two Families There.
GAY SNYDER IS SHOT AND KILLED
BY 8AMUEL PYLE WHOSE BROTHER.
LLOYD SNYDER. STABBED.
It Seems That There was Much Bad
Blood Between the Parents and
Several Law Suits anti When the
Boys Met Jus' North of Jones Mills
Along in the Afternoon the Trouble
Broke Out Afresh and Life Was
Taken on the Lonely Mountain
Boad.
Gay Snyder, aged about 20 years,
was.shot and almost instantly killed
about a mile north of Jones Mills Mon-day
afternoon last by Samuel Pyle, a
lad of some 15 years, after his older
brother, Lloyd Pyle, aged 17 years,
was, it is said, badly stabbed about
the face and neck by a penknife in the
hands of young Snyder
Snyder was a son of Mr. and Mrs
Isaac Snyder who are close neighbors in
Jones Mills with the parents of the Pyle
boys, Mr. and Mrs. John Pyle, and it
seems that there has been bad blood be
tween the two families for a year or
more. During that lime there have been
two assault and battery cases in the
county court. They had trouble of some
kind Sunday night last when a dog be
longing to the Snyders died, the owners
j claiming the Pyles poisoned the animal
I Be that story as it may, there was a
I fight Monday when Lloyd Pyle, who
carries the mail to Bakersville, got back
i and with his brother, Samuel, met Gav
Snyder along the lonely road to Hor-ner's
Mill. But, who was the aggressor
is not known.
The dead man's father charged the
Pyle boys with murder the sameeveuing
before Justice N. J. Miller who issued
warrants, on which Samuel was taken to
jail at Greensburg, hut Lloyd's wounds
prevented him trom being taken irom
his home.
Samuel Pyle's story is that Snyder
jumped out from behind a tree and be
gan cutting his brother with a knife and,
when Lloyd Pyle sank to the ground,
Snyder rushed at him. It was then that
Samuel says he fired and, without look-ing
what his shot did, ran to the neigh-boring
home ol John Griffith where he
first told this tale. Lloyd Pyle, whose
terrible cuts are on the back of the head
and neck, almost bled to death before he
regained consciousness. It is still feared
he will not recover.
A ROYAL CHANCE
For People Able and Willing to Help Local
Hospital Work.
The new addition to the local hos-pital,
which practically doubles the ca-pacity
of that splendid institution, is
about done at a cost of some $20,000
The cutting down of the last legislative
appropriation by Governor Stuart greatly
handicapped the directors in this work,
but they have managed to pay the bills
by loans they can carry until such time
as state aid can be reasonably expected.
The board, however, finds that it has
ten private rooms for which it needs
furnishings; but trusts that by thus
making its wants known charitably dis-posed
people will come forward and fit
them up. This can be done very nicely
at a cost ot $60 or $70. The donor's name
is then engraved and placed on the door.
The directors of the Jacob Justice
Free Dispensary are also to the front
with a good thing. They are taking
school children with defective vision,
whore parents are unable to provide for
same, and furnishing them with glasses
as ordered by Dr. W. A. Marsh who will
make all such examinations free.
Blows Own Head Off.
A. Vansickle, aged 52, a carriage man-nfacturer
and a director of the First Na-tional
Bank, of Summerfield, Fayette
county, committed suicide Saturday by
blowing off the top of his head with a
shotgun. No motive for the deed has
been learned. He went to a room over
bis carriage shopand, placing the muzzle
of the gun against his forehead, pushed
the trigger with au iron rod. He is sur-vived
by his widow and five sons.
Floorball Season Opens.
Captain Harry Swartz took his newly
organized floorball team over to Con-nellsville
Tuesday evening and trounced
the Yough metropolis lads 1-0.

NICE WESTERN TRIP
From Which George Parfitt Has Just Ro
turned to His Homo Here.
George Parfitt returned last Wednes-day
from a most enjoyable month's wes-tern
trip that extended down to Bisbee,
Arizona, and then up to Denver, Colo-rado,
where he visited his son, Alex,
and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace, who
formerly resided here and made things
mighty pleasant for the ex-hotel man.
Young Mr. and Mrs. Parfitt live at
Arvada, a growing town some six miles
north of Denver, but they came in and
spent eleven days with the former’s
father in the city. Alex is engaged with
the Oak Hill Coal Company opening up
a new mine about 200 miles north ot
Denver where the vein is 11 feet thick.
George also ran out to Lafayette, 21
miles south of Denver, where he spent
one day as the guest of William Pad
field, a coal operator whom he met in
South Wales when abroad seven years
ago. When out to see Alex's home at
Arvada, the old man had the pleasnreof
subscribing to a new Baptist church
nearing completion so that he had his
hand in for the new bond issue his fel-low
Re Union Presbyterians made Sab-bath
last.

Friday evening last in the Institute
library Mrs. Lillian M. Kingsdorf, assist-ed
by Miss Rhode, rendered a very en-tertaining
and instructive program be-fore
the Saturday Afternoon Club and
one hundred and titty of its invited
guests. Mrs. Kingsdorf has a veary clear
enunciation and a remarkable power ot
expression and interpretation. She was
especially brilliant in her rendering of
the jewel song from "Faust."
HENRY MARTYN HOYT—1879-1883.
The tinny word of Henry Martyn Hoyt hrnl much to do with Ms elec-tion
as chief executive of the state. Horn of English parentage in 18110 at
Kingston, he was graduated In 184!) at Williams college. He turned his at-tention
to the study of law and In 1853 was admitted to the bar In Luzerne
county. Upon the outbreak of the civil war he raised a regiment, the Fifty-second
Pennsylvania volunteers, and was commissioned lieutenant colonel.
Two years later he was made colonel. At the close of the war he was
bvevetted brigadier general. In 1875 he was made chairman of the Repub-lican
state committee. lie was elected governor in 1878 upon a "sound
money” issue. He served one term of four years, Ids being the first admlnls
tuition under the constitution of 187.'!, which provided that the term of gov-ernor
should be four years and that a governor could not succeed himself Iti
office.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered from Both Mine
and Yard,
The Frick company is erecting a big
hospital for its sick horses al the Kyle
works near Fairchance where there is
also a large farm lor grazing. The build-ing.
which will be incharge of ‘Dickey"
Smith, will accommodate from 60 to 80
animals which will at all times be under
hi care of a veterinary surgeon.
Superintendent and Mrs Lightcap are
the prond parents of a son and heir born
last week on his mother's birthday.
George A. Hahn, formerly of this place
and late superintendent at the Frick
coke plant at Mammoth, has returned to
that company’s engineering departmen',
residing with his wife and family in
Connelisville.
Now the coke operators of the region
are beginning to tear a car shortage.
It was given out Saturday in Pittsburg
as a virtual certainty that the H. C.
Frick Coke Company would raise the
wages of the coke workers back to the
old level of 1907, the coining winter—
probably making the annonneement of
the advance as a Christmas gift to the
workers, as has been the company's cus-tom
on one or two other occasions. The
rate will be 16 cents on the present rate
of $1.04. The higher price of coke has
made this advance possible and the
shortage of labor in the coke regions has
made it necessary.
It is said that officials, clerks and
members of crews of the West Penn Rail-ways
and Electric companies regret hav-ing
invested some $15,000 in West Vir-ginia
coal lands last spring.
The Mount Pleasant Connelisville
Coke Company has 100 bee hive ovens
in blast at its new Carpentertown plant
and is preparing to fire up 50 of the 200
Belgian type of ovens in course of con-strnction.
WELL WORTH HEARING
Chaplain Stevenson’s Lecture in the 8tate
Armory Thanksgiving Evening.
The lecture, which Chaplain George E,
T. Stevenson will deliver in the armory
Thanksgiving evening, will be well
worth hearing, if nothing were said of
the financial benefit it will be to Com-pany
E, N. G. P., under whose auspices
the entertainment will be given, tickets
being but 25 cents.
The chaplain, who is himself a veteran
of the Spanish-American war, will tell
of the trip he made around the world
with Uncle Sam's great battleship fleet.
By way of illustration he will show over
200 stereopticon views taken at all the
principal ports touched by the splendid
sea fighters in girdling the globe.
MeanB Mach Money Saved.
The constitutional amendment, abol-ishing
the Febuary election, as approved
at the late election, will, it is said, save
the state $1,000,000 annually. The spring
election will be held as usual next year,
the amendment not going inlo effect un
til 1911.

NEW FORESTER
For the 8tats's Reserve in This and Som-erset
Counties.
Forester John R. Williams, of Somer-set,
has been pnt in charge of the state's
newest forest reserve and also the only
one on the Ohio watershed, located in
Westmoreland and Somerset counties.
Mr. Williams is a forester of consider-able
experience and will take charge of
the work of clearing the woods and mak-ing
roads, so that the tract may be made
accessiole. This property, which was
acquired this year, is covered with a fine
growth of young oak and chestnut. It
is a second growth and bids fair to be
very valuable in a few years.
This county has 5,500 acres of the re-serve
and 3,500 lie in Somerset. The de-partment
of forestry has been looking
over other tracts on the Ohio watershed
but, owing to the limited appropriation,
will be unable to buy very much land
in the next 18 months.
Engagements Announced.
Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Albright, who re-cently

Leasnre, of Alverton.
ROM WflCOME
EXTENDED NEW
PASTOR AND WIEE
By the Local Church of God
People Thursday Evening
FIRST PART OF PROGRAM IN CHURCH.
HANDSHAKING AND REFRESHMENT*
FOLLOW AT PAR80NAOE.
Rrv. Dr. Yahn’s Stay of Eighteen
Years Sort of Put the Hosts Out of
Practice, butTh»y Had No Trouble
Getting Their Glad Hand Back in
the Pleasant Game. Although as a
Precautionary Measure They Call-ed
in O her Ministers to Say Some
Hind Words to Rev. and Mrs. J. h
Updegraph.
Rev L)r. Yahn’s stay as their shep-herd
for eighteen years sort of made
the Church of Ciod people feel a little
rusty on preparing for a reception for
(heir new pastor, Rev. J. L IJpde-grahh,
and his family last Thursday
evening. But, they didn’t feel the
lack of practice a bit, although, as a
precautionary measure, they had the
other protestant ministers of the town
and many of their congregations join
in extending a glad hand to all the
Updegraphs
The first part of the reception was
held in the chnrch where the opening
hymn was followed by prayer by Rev.
G, L. Graham, of the United Brethren
church. Then Rev. C. W. Haines, of the
First Baptist church, read the "Sermon
on the Mount" from the Scriptures. Af-ter
a vocal solo by Miss Anna Edwards,
Rev. W. H. Gnyer, of the Alverton
Chnrch of God, who presided, said:
"The life of a pastor and his work lie
very close to that of the yonog people
of a community. It is, therefore, very
fitting to have with us Prof. U. L. Gordy,
principal of the Mount Pleasant Public
Schools, to speak a few words of greet-ing
to the new pastor.”
Prof. Gordy assnred Rev. Mr. Upde-graph
that the people of Mount Pleasant
wonld treat him all right. The professor
said that he spoke from experienco-
They took him in three years ago and
continued their kindly treatment.
The next number was a vocal solo by
Miss Anna Stoner who was followed by
Rev. Dr. T. N. Eaton, of the Methodist-
Episcopal chnrch. He bronght greetings
ol the Monnt Pleasant Ministerial Asso-ciation,
of which Rev. Updegraph had
become a member by accepting the locat
call. Dr. Eaton said he, though a per-fect
stranger, was able to tell the Upde-graphs
in the audience. They were good
to look upon too. The speaker also
congratulated Rev. Updegraph upon
hiving left a crowded city and come to
a town where one could always get a
breath of pure mountain air that was m
itself an inspiration.
Rev. Mr. Guyer told of his long per-sonal
acquaintance with and high regard
for the new pastor who, if he still had
any doubts about his welcome, despite
the congregation’s unanimons vote tor
him, would certainly have them remov-ed
by this reception. A vocal trio by-
Mrs. George W. Stoner. Miss Margaret K.
Fox and Miss Lacy Sellers was the next
number.
Rev. Mr. Updegraph made a very neat
response that expressed his deep sense
of gratitude for the many expressions of
kindly welcome that had been extended
him and his family, replying in a simi-lar
vein to each speaker. Especially
warm were bis words of thanks spoken
to his new people whose co-operation,
sympathy and prayers he asked to aid
him in becoming a worthy successor to-
Dr. Yahn.
As previous engagements prevented
Revs. K. J. Stewart, of the Presbyterian,
church, and R. L. Leatherman, of the
Lutheran church, from being present^
Rev. E. R. Deatrick, of the First Reform-ed
church, pronounced the benediction
when the goodly company repaired to
the parsonage to meet the new pastor
and his family personally and partake
of the nice retreshments the young peo-ple
of the church had ready to serve.
An added item of interest in connec-tion
with the reception was the quiet
presentation by George W. Stoner of a.
beautiful buffet which was placed in the
parsonage dining room before even Mrs-
Updegraph was aware of what was going;
on.
Stroet Car Fatalities.
Two tipsy foreigners were run dowa

THE MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL4] THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1909
CALLED
TO ACCOUNT
Sixty Brewing Companies Must Ap-pear
Before the Attorney Gen-eral
Tomorrow.
EXPLAINING M THEY APE SELLING ICE,
The names of the 60 brewing companies of Western Pennsylvania th t
are to appear before the Attorney General at Harrisburg on November 19, on
complaint of lames S. Kerr and others, have been given out. These com-panies
will be required to show by what authority they are engaged in tin
business of selling and distributing ice.
The Pittsburg and Independent brewing companies were enjoined last
summer from engaging in the ice business without authority in their charters
to do so. The 60 complaints are similar.
GO IN THE WOODS
There Are Men Who Make a
Business of the Trip Into
Maine’s Wilderness
THEY CALL IT "GOING GUMMING"
From 25 to 50 Work the Maine Woods
Each Spring — Leases from the
Lumbermen—May Pick $8 Worth
in a Day.
In tho early days of April from
twenty-five to fifty athletic, canvas
clad young men start for the up-river
woods from Bangor, Me., and nearby
towns to collect spruce gum from
the mor.e than 20,000,000,000 feet of
spruce timbers Btill standing in the
northern forests of Maine.
Not a few of these men are the well
to do sons of old families, who go
“gumming’’ partly for profit and part-ly
as a pastime. A majority, however,
are trained climbers who know the
woods and who break away from side-walks
and electric lights to gain
health and money at a time of the
year when lumbering operations are
drawing to a close and before the
streams open up for driving.
Instead of being a solitary and
silent man the gum picker as a rule
is as talkative as a hook agent and
as ingratiating as a poor kinsman in
straitened circumstances, says the
Boston Herald. For, iu order to se-cure
exclusive control over the gum
territory he desires to monopolize,
the picker must claim lease over
spruce timber lands whose owners he
has never met. Before he can do this
he must ingratiate himself into the
favor of the camp bosses and their
subordinates. A man who can sing a
rollicking song or tell a lively story
Is welcome.
The travelling outfit of the gum
picker is very light. A set of steel
climbers, such as are used by line-men,
a heavy and broad hatchet for
cutting off the gum and for scarring
the trees for the making of more gum
the next year these with tobacco,
pipe and matches, complete his rig.
His food and lodging are given to
him by tbe boss of the camp where
he chances to stop over night, his
cheerful ways and the tews he brings
from the outer world more than pay-ing
for all dues.'
The picker who gleans his harvest
from the same trees year after year
enhances the value of the holding
greatly, though this value applies to
the gum alone, for the trees are not
materially affected. The owners of
the woods are too busy *.o spend time
in allotting gum areas, and as the in-come
from gum picking is never large
and the time of picking lasts but a
few weeks the harvesters cannot af-ford
to pay the fees for drawing the
leases, to say nothing of giving tribute
for the gum.
A “smart” man working in an old
gum orchard of thrifty trees that are
scattered widely enough to admit sun
light for ripening and hardening the
gum can under fair conditions collect
in a day from eight to ten pounds of
rough gum, which on cleaning will
shrink two pounds, worth $1 a pound
in the cities. Before starting out to
operate a gum orchard a picker must
spend one spring in marking and scar-ring
the trees, so as to make sure of
finding gum enough to pay for his la-bor
when he calls around a year later.
This is done by climbing a thrifty
tree to above the old limbs and high
into the sunlight and scarring the
south side of the trunk between the
whorls of limbs with deep incisions
shaped like a V.
The spruce sap exudes from these
wounds and moving downward along
the cut is dried in the sun until a
pitchy crust is formed, which fends
off the bits of bark and spills blown
about by the wind and prohibits the
entrance of inquisitive bees and other
Insects. Thus protected from harm,
the embryo nugget of gum continues
to grow from the inside by fresh sup-plies
of resinous sap and to harden
from the outside by slow evaporation.
The sun goes away south, winter ar-rives
and the sweetening frosts re-move
the Ditchy and acrid taste l«av.
mg from a score to a hundred ot
sweet and ruddy and crystallized
“teats” of genuine spruce gum.
There are good reasons why the
harvesters should choose April as the
month for the tasks, it is then that
tlie gum is In its ripest and best con
dltlon, not so old as to be hard and
crumbly, not so young as lo lie soft
and taste of pitch. The scaly crust
above tho winter snow hunks among
the trees is then as smooth as glass,
carrying all the gum which escapes
the hand of the picker Into I lie hol-lows
among the drifts and holding
them safely In plain view until they
can lie picked up. Before the end of
May the coining sun will have warm-ed
the tree trunks and set the old
wounds to bleeding new sap, thus
spoiling tho harvest for another year.
If lie is an old hand at se.ling in
the city the gum hunter will charge
from $1 to $1.50 a pound for his gum.
If he is new at the business he may
sell to some sharp broker or druggist
for 75 cents a pound, if he likes to
haggle he will call around from place
to place and in a Cay or more can sell
out for $2 a pound.
“THIS IS THE STONE.”
Tale of One McGregor, a Thrifty Man
in the Land of Thrift.
Alexander Wright, brother of the
county auditor, who is visiting Cleve-land
for a vacation period, and who
Is In the public service in Ills Scottish
home, tells this tale anent one Mc-
Gregor, a thrifty man in a land of
thrift, who was seen In Glasgow

PUN TO HARNESS THE TIDES
An Old Story in Canada, but it is
Heard Once Again.
Canada hears every little while
that some one is going to harness the
mighty tides of the Bay of Fundy and
put them to work; but the tides have
gone on doing as they please and the
story has been ranked with the re-port—
which usually originates in
Maine—that gold is to be extracted
from the sands of the seashore.
A tremendous amount 01 power Is
going to waste all the time in the Bay
of Fundy and the scheme to put this
power to some account is reasonable
enough on paper. It has been pro-posed
again by J. L. Weller of St.
Catherine’s, Ontario, who is organli-lng
a company and has applied for a
charter from the Dominion Govern-ment.
The tide rises in the Bay of Fundy
sometimes as high as sixty feet A
rise of forty feet is ordinary. When
It is remembered that the tide is eith-er
rising or falling for more than
twenty hours out of the twenty-four it
will be seen that there is almost con-tinuous
power.
The vast extent of the tidal area is
the most difficult factor in the prob-lem.
The water sweeps up broad
estuaries for the most part; at few
places is there such a thing as a nar-row
passage through rocky walls. To
harness the Fundy tide will require
long stretches of heavy stone em-bankments.
Mr. Weller's plan, so far as he has
announced it, is to build power plants
below Moncton, N. B., on the Petit-codiac
River, at Amherst, N. S., on
an arm of Cumberland Bay, and at
some points on the Basin of Minas.
The movement of the tide in the
Petitcodiac River represents an ener-gy
of about 3,000,000 horse-power a
day. The river bed below Moncton
is more than a mile wide. The banks
are gentle slopes.
It is here that the bore, a wall of
water that marks the coming of the
tide, is seen at its best. Its power
seems quite worth while harnessing,
for in spring tide seasons it is some
six feet high and it rushes up the riv-er
at express train speed.
Following the bore the tide pours
in steadily and forcefully. It has the
strength of a spring freshet in a
mountain river.
Mr. Waller’s plan is to build exten-sive
dams in the river bed, in order
to force all this power into one spot.
The dams would be built so as to
catch the power of the falling tide as
well—to get it coming and going. The
aim is to develop only 100,000 horse-power
at first.
The problem at Amherst seems
easier, for there the water is confined
within narrower limits. In the Basin
of Minas the problem is the hardest,
for there is little natural opposition.
There is a good market for power
all around the Bay of Fundy. It could
run the electric lines in the cities and
towns, it could work the mills, it
could be used in developing the oil
lands near the mouth of the Petitcodi-ac
and the coal mines near Amherst.
The work at Niagara has made the
distribution and employment of col-lected
energy a simple matter.
Canada, however, will not believe
until it sees.
A Joke on Sir Robert Ball.
Sir Robert Ball, the famous astron-omer,
recently told the House of Com-mons
Committee on the Waste of
Daylight that as an astronomer he
thought daylight was altogether a
mistake. This notwithstanding the
fact that he, Sir Robert, is a yachts-man
and a golf player. The author
of "The Starry Realms” and of "The
Popular Guide to the Heavens” is nat-urally
addicted to the night side of
things.
Being an Irishman, too, he is, of
course, as much a humorist as an
astronomer. On one occasion, when
visiting Shakespeare’s native birth-place,
Sir Robert came off second best
in a tilt with his erstwhile landlady.
“I will give you a lesson in astronomy,
madam,” he said. "Have you ever
heard of the great platonic year, when
everything must return to its first
condition? In 26,000 yean, we shall
be here again, eating a dinner pre-cisely
like this. Will you give us
credit till then?” “Yes,” was the
prompt reply. "You were here 26,000
years ago ana lett without paying.
"Settle the old bill and I’ll trust you
with the new.”
Our Poultry Industry.
There is a great awakening in the
poultry industry among the scientists
of the country. Twenty or more
States have established experiment
stations and in addition, three years
ago the Department of Agriculture
started a station at Baltimore, Mary-land.
At the State experiment sta-tions
there are regular courses of in-struction
on poultry raising, while
scientific experiments are made to de-termine
the comparative values of dif-ferent
breeds and varieties, the best
methods of housing and breeding, and
the value of the different foods. The
poultry industry has long been desert-ed
by the scientists and in spite of
them, according to flgures prepared
by Secretary Wilson, the value of the
eggs and poultry produced on the
farms last year was $620,000,000—as
much as the cotton crop, seed includ-ed,
or the hay or the wheat crop.
Some Busy Boys.
One thousand and sixty-four spar-rows
were slaughtered by Marquette
(Mich.) boys during the three months
of the open season for these birds
and which expired with the close of
February. At the rate of 2 cents a
head, the feathered prey netted the
i youngsters a total of $21.28 in boun-ties.
Much larger payments were
made in other Upper Michigan cities.
THAT SAME OLD FEELING.
Louisville Girl was Cordial But Like-wise
Frank.
A young Louisville man who was
out West not long ago has returned
telling a yarn which he admits 1B at
his own expense, but which he de-clares
to be about one of the most
interesting experiences of even his
checkered career.
"I was walking along the street in
a Western town,” he said, "when sud-denly
across the way I saw a Louis-ville
girl whom I recognized immedi-ately.
She saw me, too, and I expect-ed
her to bow rather coolly and dis-tantly,
as had been her wont back
home. I was considerably astonished,
therefore, when she dashed across the
street, seized me with both hands and
fairly bubbled over in her delight. I
was so surprised, in fact, that I com-mented
on it.
“ ‘I’m glad to see you, too,’ I said,
when I had managed to extricate my-self
from her exuberant greeting, 'hut
to tell you the truth, I hadn’t expect-ed
to see you so excited over my ap-pearance.
You always treated me
rather a la iceberg at home, you
know; what has caused your change
of heart?'
“ ‘Mr. Smith, I’ve been away from
home so long that I’d he glad to see
even a dog if he came from Ken-tucky!’
"I let it go at that.”—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
She Knew Him.
There’s a young man in one of the
big furniture exhibition buildings in
Chicago who, since a recent experi-ence,
never permits his temper to be-come
ruffled while at the telephone.
A few days ago he could not get
the number he called for as quickly
as he desired.
“See here, Central,” he shouted, "I’ll
report you.”
“You don’t know who I am,” was
the calm reply.
"Well, I’ll find out, and that blamed
quick, too.”
“I know you, though," came in a
soft sweet tone over the wire. “You
are in the big office furniture building.
I’ve seen your picture.”
“You have?” exclaimed the young
man, delightedly, and he mentally
kicked himself for having been rude
to so sweet a girl. “Where did you
see it? Was it in the Furniture Jour-nal
?”
“No,” came the laughing reply, “on
a lobster can.”
A Good Telephone Girl Story.
The telephone girl and the bill
clerk to whom she had promised her

of the fire place talking about the

be one. From one little detail to an-other
the talk finally drifted to the

mg. He slated that it was his em-phatic
opinion that It was the duty
of a wife to get up and start the fires
in the morning and let her hard work-ing
husband rest. After this declara-tion
there was silence for the space
of about three-quarters of a second.
Then the telephone girl thrust out the
finger encircled by her engagement
ring, and murmured sweetly but firm-ly,
“Ring off, please, you have got

A Growing Love.
Mr. and Mrs. Married Bliss were
both growing very plump, and every
effort to reduce weight had proved
fruitless, and their discontent with
their failure was pathetic.
"It is too bad,” said a mutual friend
to a sympathetic physician. "The
Blisses are so fond of each other, and
used to be so graceful and slender
when they were first married.”
"Ah, well!” replied the physician.
“Think how much more they are to
each other now.”

While a prominent Philadelphia
salesman was in Pittsburg on busi-ness
he received the following tele-gram
from his wife; "Come home as
soon as you can. I am dying.” Of
course the salesman rushed home, hut
to be greeted at the front door by his
wife with a face radiant with joy.
“Why, I thought you were dying,” he
said.
She shook her head in reply.
“Well, why did you send me such a
telegram, then?”
“It was that crazy old operator,”
she said. "I wanted to say: ‘Come
home as soon as you can. I am dying
to see you,’ but he would only let me
send ten wordB for a quarter.”

An editor relates the following:
"When first he came to see her, he

the light was low they sat this
far apart, but as their love grew
warmer, they learned its Joys and

HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
The management of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has always been
credited with being level headed and
far seeing; yet, if that is to be accepted
as the tule needing an exception as
proof, the Mount Pleasant branch fill
every requirement.
On this five-mile road, with the June
Bug branch, the daily freight tonageruns
far info the thousands that are not only
hauled back thefull lenglhof theselines
but over a big hill at Alverton when the
laying of less than two miles of track
would complete the local branch through
to the company’s Sewickley branch with
little grade. In fact, it is said that one
engine on this line would do fully the
work of two on the Southwest hills.
This is true of the freight traffic and
all the company needs to do to make it
equally true in the passenger line is to
give the proper accommodation by com-pleting
connections through to Hecla
It is hard to understand why this was
not done years ago. But let us again
present our claims to the Pennsylvania
people and, if we are unsuccessful, then
double shot our guns and besiege the
State Railway Commission.
LET US BE THANKFUL.
In accordance with the reverent cus-tom
established by our forefathers, Pres-ident
Taft has set apart Thursday, No-vember
25th, as a day of general thanks-giving.
During the past year, as the procla-mation
says, we have been highly blest.
No great calamity of flood or tempest or
epidemic of sickness has befallen us.
We have lived in quietness, undisturbed
by wars or rumors of wars. Peace and
the plenty of bounteous crops and great
industrial production animate a cheerful
and resolute people to all the renewed
energies of beneficient industry and
material and moral progress.
It is altogether fitting then, as our
Chief Executive adds, that we should
humbly and gratefully acknowledge the
divine source of these blessings.
ROYAL CHANCE FOR 80ME YANKEE.
Dire woe is in store for American gum
chewers. In fact, their favorite non-per-ishable
delicacy is said to be threatened
with extinction, according to Franklin
Canning, an officer of the American
Chicle Company, who has been investi-gating
the chicle supply in this country.
Owing to the great demand and conse-quent
high prices the chicle growers of
Yukatan have been tapping the trees too
often, and as a result the trees are being
destroyed at a rapid rate. Unless new
chicle forests are discovered or a system
of reforestation is put into effect, Yu-catan
will have no chicle to export in a
few years.
This failing crop affords a royal chance
for some Yankee to produce a substitute
for chicle; for, chewers of gum must not
be allowed to suffer simply because the
supply of the real thing is running short.
A MERCIFUL JUDGE.
A sentence out of the ordinary was
imposed in the Allegheny county crimi-nal
court the other day by Judge Josiah
Cohen, when John Russell, James Jen-kins
and Charles Skelesky, three boys,
were called to answer to a charge of en-tering
a building at Swissvale. The boys
pleaded guilty to the charge.
When the lads presented themselves
before the court, Attorney Meredith
Marshall made an earnest plea for leni-ency.

Judge Cohen, after sizing the youthful
culprits up carefully, sentenced them to
attend church regularly every Sunday,
and to report to him March 2, 1910, with
a letter from the pastor, showing that

People who break the laws should be
punished for the sake of society; and
yet while convicted criminals are paying
the penalty for their misdeeds, there
should always be put forth an effort to
reform them, particularly, if they are
young, as in the case cited. Judge Cohen
is a merciful jurist.

Quality Considered
Prices are Lower than Elsewhere.
This applies to every department in each of our
sixty-three general stores. We substantiate this state
ment daily I'he nest evidence is t.he large quantity of
goods we sell, not only to people living at the coke works,
but to a large number of people living in towns through-out
the coke region and not employees.
Compare our Groceries and Provisions with the
opposition s throughout the region. Compare the prices,
compare the quality, compare the quantity we-handle, and j
you will easily conclude that we ai e in a position, as very
extensive dealers, to excel all competition. Our prices
are lower because we buy in such large quantities. The
quality is always good. Perishable goods are not kept in
our stores long enough to become the least bit bad. The
quantity sold at any one of our stores is as large as any op-position
store—then remember we have sixty three stores.
When you buy fresh Meat you like to know
that you are getting good quality.
We slaughter our own fresh meat. We have live
plants for this purpose We buy the best stock the mar
ket produces Every week our Cattle Buyer goes to the
Pittsburg, or Herr s Island, yards and the stock is shipped
direct to our slaughter houses, killed and delivered to our
meat shops We know that it is; our customers know what
they get, and the enormous business we do is the best evi-dence
in the world that we are selling good stuff, and it is
further evidence that our prices are the lowest. We sell
the very choicest, cut steaks at 16c and 18c per pound; the
town dealers sell them for 24c and 25c per pound. Yon
all know who buy them in the town shops. Other goods
are sold proportionately low. Smoked and Salt Meats,
all sorts of sausages, Fresh Pork Loins, Fresh Pork
Shoulders, Fresh Pork Sausage; everything that a well-equipped
meat market can offer you will find in our sixty-three
meat departments.
Come around and inspect them; see the modern
shops we have; see what fine classes of goods we are
selling.

SINGULAR
MURDER CASE.
Ben Gurman, Arrested at Youngs-town,
Ohio, is Brought Back
to Uniontown.
P PROVI THI
Ben Gurman, alias Pasquale Roman, the Italian accused of killing a
man at Labelle, near Brownsville, four years ago and arrested at Youngs-town,
Ohio, last week, is now in jail at Uniontown.
No formal charge of murder has been filed against Gurman, and it is
doubtful if there will be. There is said to be nothing to base one on except
his alleged confession that he shot a fellow workman twice. Fayette county
has been scoured for witnesses to the crime, but so far not one has been found.
It is expected that Gurman, who married a wealthy Italian’s step-daugh
ter, will employ an attorney and secure his release through a writ of habeas
corpus This move was being made at Youngstown, where he was held for
the Fayette county authorities, but Sheriff Johns got him on a train before
the writ was obtained. The man cannot convict himself, and his wife, who
caused his arrest in a fit of anger, cannot testify against him.

An editor who had died of starva-tion
was being escorted to heaven by
an angel who had been sent for that
purpose. “May I look into the other
place before I ascend into eternal
happiness?" asked the editor. “Cer-tainly.”
So they went below and
-skirmished around taking in the
sights. The angel lost track of the
editor and went around Hades to
hunt him up. He found him by a big
furnace fanning himself, and gazing
with rapture at a lot of people in the
fire. There was a sign on the furnace
which read: “Delinquent Subscrib-ers.

GORGEOUS COURT UNIFORMS
Seme of Them Cost $1,250 Each—Ex-pensive
Regalia of Foreign Diplomats.
Much of the splendor of any of his
majesty’s courts would be lacking if
it were not for the dazzling uniforms
of the high officers of state and the
great officers of the royal household
who assemble at these impressive
functions, says "Tit-Bits.”
There are always five or six differ-ent
grades of gentlemen in attend-ance
present when his majesty holds
a court, and each has his distinctive
dress, the difference usually being in-dicated
by the trimming, either gold
or silver, or the number of buttons
worn. The complete outfit of a first-class
court official runs to £200, the
jacket alone costing £80 to £100. It
1B made of the finest royal blue cloth,
lavishly embroidered with gold lace
of a highly elaborate design. The
waistcoat and knee breeches are made
from white kerseymere silk, richly
embroidered, set off with buttons and
buckles of gilt, and white silk stock-ings,
sword, cocked hat and white
kid gloves make a complete costume,
as rich as It is dignified.
An ambassador or foreign diplomat-ist
wears a special distinction—black
velvet collar, with a gold embroidered
floral design. The uniform costs the
wearer about £115.
Lord lieutenants are dressed in a
coat of royal red cloth, cut swallow-tail
and adorned with silver buttons,
and the collar embroidered with sil-ver
lace. Silver laced trousers are
worn, with a cocked hat without
plumes. The uniform is very hand-some,
and costs the wearer 100
guineas simply for the privilege to
wear it, let alone the making of it.
To the Duke of Norfolk, as the earl
marshal, however, falls the enviable
distinction of wearing the most cost-ly
apparel of all great officers of
state. The dress is absolutely unique,
and for sheer magnificence has no
parallel in any country. Nearly three
miles of the finest gold thread are
used in the embroidery on the coat,
collar, front and on the lappets of the
sleeves. Each suit costs his grace
£250.
All Cabinet ministers and other
high state officials are expected to
have at least one state unifrom. A
complete court outfit will cost from
£130 to £170.
There are, of course, many others,
such as the captain of the Yeomen of
the Guard, the captain of the Gen-tlemen
at Arms, the Master of the
Horse and the squires and pages of
honor, who have to possess a distinc-tive
dress for special occasions cost-ing
from £20 to £50. Court dandies
will only wear these uniforms once,
while noblemen some times make the
same uniform last a lifetime. It has
been computed that on great state oc-casions
the value of the uniforms
worn exceeds £30,000.

Last summer a typical down-easter
furnished a New York author, who
had a cottage in a Maine village, with
farm produce.
One day when the man called with
a wagon-load of vegetables, the au-thor,
wishing to make himself agree-able,
asked how much stock he kept
on his farm.
"Five cows an’ a bull,” enumerated
the farmer, “ ’nd two yokes of oxen, a

Demand for Hair Roue.
"There is one thing which we ex-port
from this country that few peo-ple,
in fact, no no outside those In
the trade, ever know anything about,”
said S. C. Brown to a Milwaukee Sen-tinel
reporter. “That is hair ropes.
They are shipped mainly to India,
though they go to any places where
poisonous snakes are plentiful. Every
cowboy and plainsman learned years
ago that if he did not wish to wake
up in the morning and find a rattler
for a bed-mate when he had to sleep
out on the prairie, he had to be care-ful
before he laid down to see that hiB
horse-hair lariat was colled carefully
about him so that there was no open-ing
through which a snake might
crawl.
"No snake will tackle n hair rope.
It Is the only sure protection against
them. Somehow this Idea has perme-ated
the minds of the East Indians
and now they buy these ropes for pro-tection
against the poisonous snakes
with which that country abounds.
Large numbers of these ropes are
shipped to India and adjoining coun-tries
each year.
“Over there they are coiled on the
floor around the bed at night and the
occupant can lie uown in comfort, cer-tain
that no snake will ever attempt
to pass over that hair rope. It Is
about the only way any one can be
sure of a night's sleep undisturbed
by visits from snakes In that country.”
Game Abounds in Louisiana.
Louisiana is blessed with an abund-ance

kinds has been killed this season.

"Go 06," satd the czar, kindly and
much interested, "this is a most re-markable
story! In it this Mr. llardy
appears as a hero!”
"Sire, in Mr. Hardy’s employ was a
young Korean hoy whose devotion to
his master surpassed anything 1 have
ever before heard of. It was more
like that of a woman for the man she
( loves when a woman reallv loves. This
boy—I am ashamed to tell it, sire—
but now your majesty will understand
why 1 have wished to confide in you
alone—this boy heard my cousin plot-ting
to kill Mr. Hardy. Your majesty
will understand that my cousin was
no longer a sane man; that rage and
—and—jealousy, perhaps, had ren-dered
him for the moment irrespon-sible.
The boy, fearing for his mas-ter’s
safety and believing that a Rus-sian
nobleman had the power to do
anything he wished, stole into my
cousin’s compartment at night and
killed him.”
“Wonderful! wonderful!” said the
czar in a musing tone; “and are you
sure of all this?”
“Absolutely. I give you my word
as a Romanoff princess that it is
true.”
“And the boy? Do you know where
he is? He can be given up to jus-tice."
“The boy,” replied the princess,
solemnly, “no longer exists. Over-whelmed
with horror at. what he had
done, and feeling sure that the police
would find and punish him, he has
made away with himself. He told me
that, it was his intention to do away
with himself, and he has disap-peared!”
At this moment Pypine entered with
Hardy’s record. At the czar's com-mand
he read it, rapidly and in a mat-ter-
of-fact, singsong tone. It con-tained
nearly every act of Hardy's
life, except what had actually hap-pened
within the four wmlls of his
sleeping chamber, since he had set
foot on Russian soil. He was accused
of sympathizing w'it’n the Japanese, of
having affiliated with Jews, of having
insulted the authorities at Vladivostok
by requesting that the imperial gov-ernment
use its influence to get him
a clean towel in the hotel there, with
having worn an overcoat similar to
the one found in the nihilists' den on
the evening of the explosion of the
Frenchman’s famous pill. Further-more,
he had fought a duel with the
Prince Romanoff, in which hf
had been wounded. This fact fur
nished the motive for his alleged
crime, which, coupled with his sir
picious record, left liitie room, in ti-
Russian official mind for doub <,r h
guilt. Most, of lb potn
ready been covered by the story told
by the princess.
“As for the overcoat,” she remarked,
“if he continued to wear it he could
not have left it, and your majesty
would soon discover, if your majesty
would stop for some time incognito in
Vladivostok, that the power of the
Imperial government is by no means
belittled when it is asked to use its
influence in the procuring of a clean
towel!”
The emperor arose and pressed his
hand to his brow as though he were
Buffering with headache.
“Little Father,” said Romanovna,

prayers. Let Mr. Hardy be freed, and

have secret -proof of his innocence,
but are on the track of the real cul-prit”—
and she sank again on her
knees.
“Rise, daughter,” said the czar kind-ly.
“We have already decided on this
course. It’s a relief to know that he
is innocent, the American ambassa-dor
is so troublesome. Pypine, see
that this is done. Tell the proper au-thorities
that it is our will.”
CHAPTER XLII.
Gray Ghosts.
That part of Siberia which lies east
of the great inland sea, Lake Baikal,
and west of the mighty Amur, which
here turns abruptly and bends north-ward,
is known as trans-llaikalia. The
Stanovoi range of mountains, contin-uing
to the south, divides it nearly in
halves, forming a watershed that
feeds the lake on one side and the
Amur and its tributaries on the other.
The trans-Siberian railway, the
great artery through which the blood
of Russia flowed uninterruptedly
from Alexandrov to Vladivostok and
Port Arlhur, pierces these mountains
at an advantageous point, and, pass-ing
through Stryetensk, breaks into
Manchuria.
On a river in trans-Baikalla that
runs for many miles parallel with this
mighty ant-trail, a sledge was flying
eastward, drawn by three horses, all
abreast. The river was frozen to the
very heart and snows, drifting
over it, had swept and polished
its surface till it was smooth
as glass. Wrapped in furs and his
head shrouded in a thick cap, the
driver sat on the forward seat, partly
protected by the high-curving dash,
and managed the lines. On a low seat
behind him were a man and a woman,
also wrapped deep in robes of fur,
while a third woman sat silent in the
bottom of the sledge.
Somewhere behind them the rails
had spread and the road had given out
and the trains were halted while re-pairs
were made.
There Frederick Courtiand Hardy,
on his way to Stryetensk, had over-taken
the princess, hastening to the
front, undergoing all hardships, en-tirely
forgetful of self, that she might
employ her strength, her fortune and
her high courage and example in the
relief of her wounded and suffering
countrymen.
She greeted Hardy with frank
friendliness, explained her mission
and told him that he had arrived just
in time to help her carry out a plan
of hers.
“We can take sledges down the
river,” she said, "to Petrovska-Zavod,
where I have no doubt we shall be
able to catch an outgoing train. I
should have started before, but was
deterred by the fact that—that—-in
fact, I was afraid. Now, with my gal-lant
defender of the Amur, I shall
have no hesitation in going. Will you
come with us—with my maid and
me?”
“YPB,” he replied gravely, “I will
go. I am overwhelmed by my good
fortune. It was too great an honor to
be hoped for—that I should ever be of
service to your highness again.”
The mere presence of this woman
transformed him from the merchant
into the courtier and polished gentle-man.
“You forget,” she said, while the
ghost of one of her merry smiles light-ed
up her beautiful features, “that
such things are to be said in French.”
The maid, Hardy scarcely noticed.
She came out at the last moment, her
head covered with a fur hood that al-most
entirely obscured her face, and
took her place in the bottom of the
sledge. *
There were long desolate stretches
of snow, with here and there a house,
the roof covered with snow, nestling
among the white hills.
They passed occasional patches of
forest, the limbs etched very black
and distinct against the background
of snow. They had left the town about
two o’clock and it was half-past three
now.
"There must he a farm-house some-where
near,” observed Hardy, “if your
highness feels cold. I saw a large dog
running among the trees a moment
ago.”
Just then the driver pointed with
the whip toward the woods and
crossed himself. The princess also
made the sign of the cross, and said
quietly;
“Those are wolves! May the holy
Virgin protect us!”
Two large, gray animals with bushy
tails, that were dogs and yet not dogs,
were seen flitting among the trees.
Their tongues hung out of their
mouths, and as they glanced from
time to time at the sledge and its oc-cupants,
their teeth could be plainly
seen.
"Have no fear,” said Hardy, “they
are so few they will not dare to at-tack.”
At that moment a third joined the
two and ran with them. They ran
easily, flitting along as lightly as
thistle-down driven by the wind. The
driver arose in his seat and cracked
his whip over the horses’ heads.
"Be careful, Ivan,” said the prin-cess,
“do not tire them out. How far
it is yet to Petrovska?”
"Twenty versts,” he replied, “we
should make It in something over an
hour, if the horses hold out. It was
near here over a year ago that Farm-er
Gogol was dragged from his sledge
by wolves and devoured I
n.-rrd or mnny being seen this year.
The Virgin defend us!”
For at this moment one of the ani-mals
emitted a long, mournful howl,
the most dismal and terrible sound in
nature.
“I beg of your highness not to be—”
commenced Hardy, but she laid her
hand on ills arm, and whispered:
“Listen!”
Far in the depths of the forest an
answering howl was heard, then an-other,
farther away, and still others,
both up and down the river.
One of the wolves, Hitting along
the bank, lifted up his voice, to be in
turn answered by a sporadic chorus
from the forest.
There were now six wolves in
sight, drifting out and In among the
trees like gray ghosts.
Soon one of these tripped lightly
through the snow down the river bank
and trotted along after the sledge on
the ice, like a faithful dog.
"They show nft signs of attacking,”
said Hardy.
"They are famished.” said the prin-cess,
“but they are as patient as
death, and as intelligent as humans.
They are too few yet.”
A second and a third joined the two
on the river, while the pack on the
bank steadily grew, and noiselessly,
save for an occasional call into the
deeps tor help.
The maid sat motionless, without
looking up or stirring.
Hardy lifted a rifle from the bot-tom
of the sledge.
“I couid kill one of them now,” he
said, "and perhaps that would scare
them away.”
“It is not time yet, my friend,” re-plied
the princess. “1 shall tell you. I
am a Russian and I know when to
shoot. You must not waste a single
shot. Nothing would scare them
away,” she added.
The isvoschlk was using all his
strength to keep his horses from ex-hausting
themselves in one wild dash.
Snorting with fear, they were tearing
down the long ribbon of ice at ter-rific
speed.

GLASS THAT R'H.S BURGLARS
Remarkable Product Turned Out by
French Firm of Great Value to
Jewelers.
In reply to a eonimmiu-ntlon from
an American association, William Bar-lel,

following information concerning the
manufacture in that French district of
plate glass to be utilized by jewelers
is a safeguard against robbery:
“The glass under consideration is
manufactured at St. Gnbain, in this
district, and in reply to a communica-tion
from this consulate requesting
particulars the manager of the works
writes as follows:
“ ‘It was on account of an extra au-lacious
robbery committed in a jew-elry
store at Marseilles that a trial
was made to utilize our extra strong,
polished plate glass as a greater pro-
•ection against the smashing of the
diow windows. While an ordinary
plate glass, such as is usually put into
lewelers’ show windows, was smashed
:o atoms by one single stroke with a
metal trimmed mallet, the same at-tempt
to break the “dalle polie" fur-llshed
by our works proved entirely
'ruitless. They then proceeded to
:hrow a large piece of cast iron with
extreme violence at the show window,
ind all they succeeded iu doing was
o make a small hole into it, measur-ng
only a few centimeters. There-jpon
several shots of a revolver

BrightenUp
“Brighten Up’’ time is here—the time to
clean up about the house, renovate, and make
the old things look neat and clean again. We
can help you in the work with our line of
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINTS AND VARNISHES.
It is really surprising what a little paint or varnish will do toward
brightening up dingy surroundings. Take The S-W. Family Paint, for
instance. This is a linseed oil paint specially prepared for home deco-rating
and painting. With it anyone can renew the appearance of a
hundred little things that now look worn and old. It dries with a good
gloss and will stand scrubbing with soap and water. Comes in 26 attract-ive
shades.
The S-W. Floorlac is another splendid household brightener. It is
a stain and varnish combined and can be used on old or new woods equally
well. Imitates the natural woods and gives a most pleasing effect.
These offer a few hints for you.
Come in and have a “Brighten Up” talk
with us and learn more about how we can
help you in your cleaning. Our line has a
paint or varnish for every purpose.
Remember, we sell
