A MONUMENTAL Lie.—The
town of Clarence, within a short dis-
tance of Snow Shoe, jumped into promi-
nence, on Saturday, in rather an un-
enviable manner.
someone out there had made up a long
cock and bull story about a panther be-
ing shot. It was telephoned in to the
commissioner’s office here, and given
publicity at once, that Charles H. Wat-
son, the eighteen year old telegraph
operator, at the Beech Creek R. R. sta-
tion, at Clarence, had gone out hunting
for squirrels t®at afternoon and was but
a short distance from the station when
his little dog set up a terrible commo-
tion among some underbrush. Watson
hurried to see what was the matter and
when he caught sight of the dog his
hair flew on end with such terrific force
as to shoot his heavy bunting hat high
among the tall pine trees. For there,
crouching ready for a mighty spring
and not more than one hundred feet
from him, was a monster panther.
According to the story the young
hunter bit his heart in twain and spit it
out, so that he had nerve enough to
break the breech of his gun and replac®
the light squirrel shells with ones load-
ed with buck-shot. Taking steady aim
at the beast he fired. The entire
load went crashing through its brain
and with one mighty effort it raised its
monstrous body to its haunches for a
death spring, but the unerring aim
of the boy had done its work and with
a roar that fairly made the mountain
rocks tremble the forest monster fell
dead. :
This was about the kind of a story
that made commissioner’s clerk Rob’t
Hunter push his eyes back into their
sockets every few seconds while it was
being telephoned him, Saturday, and he
assured the man at the other end that
the commissioners would pay whatever
bounty the law allowed for the scalp.
The panther story was the talk of the
town, Saturday evening, and city pa-
pers gave it half a column in their Sun-
day issues. The whole thing so preyed
on Bob Hunter’s mind that he induced
a friend to ride out to see the panther
on Sunday. He couldn’t wait until the
next day when the fellow had promised
to bring it in, so he wheeled away. Ar-
rived at the place wher®he expected to
feast his eyes on the fallen mountain
king you can well imagine his chagrin
at learning that the whole story was a
hoax.
‘THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON.—
Tomorrow The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege foot ball eleven will line up against
Gettysburg college in the first game of
the season. The time has been set for
2 o’clock and if it continues as warm as
it has been during the week it is hardly
probable that more than thirty minute
halves will be played and the time
might even be reduced to twenty min-
utes.
While Gettysburg has never had the
reputation of putting out a particularly
strong team there has been marked sur-
prises in store for her opponents ever
since State’s cadet corps camped there,
ir. 1891,.and taught her the game.
However the strength of the visitors
the game of tomorrow will be very in-
teresting, because it will be the first op-
portunity of getting ‘‘aline’”’ on what can
be expected of the blue and white dur-
ing the season. Their line is said to be
stronger and heavier this year than last,
though behind it the absence of such
men as Stuart, Atherton and Suter,
cannot help being felt. Robinson will
retain his old place at half and, with
McCaskey at quarter, will do much to
encourage the others. For the other
half back position either Thomas or
Heckel will get it, while it looks as
though Joe Thompson will have a sure
thing for full, though Walker has been
putting up a remarkably strong game
of late. /
Curtin and McKibben will both be
found on the ends again, the two Duns-
mores will hold their old places at right
and left tackle, Randolph, a new
209 1b man, will take Fisher's place at
guard leaving the other guard and cen-
tre the only positions about which there
is much talk. Scott is working hard
for his old place and will probably be
able to hold it against Dole and others
who are pushing him, while Cromlish
and Murray can be looked upon as the
men who will divide honors at centre
unless ‘General’ Hoskins, the trainer,
is played there.
A NoreDp LECTURER CoMING.—It is
with pleasure that we announce the ap-
pearance in this place of Dr. J. F. Ber-
ry, of Chicago, editor of the Epworth
Herald, who has been booked to deliver
a lecture on ‘Ireland and the Irish” on
Thursday evening, October 3rd. It is
quite a surprise to know that the price
of admission has been fixed at the small
sum of 15 and 256¢ts. This is rather re-
markable, considering the repute of the
man, but it has been done so that every-
one can have an opportunity of hearing
him.
His talk will be largely reminiscent
of u recent tour of the emerald isle
showing the condition of the people of
thet down trodden country. There will
be plenty of sympathizers to hear him
and it is likely that he will have a large

all the wing feathers out of poor little
Cupid. In fact he became so obstreper-

being offered a sacrifice on the altar of
Pollux. Her safety was fourd in
flight, however, and the first thing the
obdurate pater knew he was in jail,
charged with threatening to kill his
wife.
Such a state of affairs was not calcu-
lated to help the wedding along, which
had been set for last Thursday evening,
a3 it was necessary to get the father’s
consent in order that a license could be
secured for his minor child. This was
just the opportunity he wanted, for

flatly refused, unless his release from jail,
would be forthcoming. The case was
growing serious but, nothing daunted,
the young folks hustled around until
they got him out of jail, when, happy
in the thought of their assured union,
they went for his signature. Imagine
their chargin when Pat laughed and
said : “No I'm out and I won't give
it.’
The wedding day arrived, and with it
the hour for the nuptials, and the guests
and the minister, but Pat remained ob-
durate the whole evening through.
The wedding feast was spread and, as it
could not be left to spoil, it was eaten,
but the wedding did not take place.
Next day the old gentleman was
again locked up, whereupon he changed
his mind and ‘gave his cheerful consent
to the union, which was made Saturday
evening and none seemed to be happier
than Patrick himself.

The appointment of T. A. Bradley to the of-
fice of deputy factory inspector for this dis-
trict caused great surprise and much unfavor-
able comment in this locality, where he 1s
well known. Ife is a notorious agitator and a
demagogue of the most pronounced type, and
his appointment reftects credit on nobody.
