A CURTIN STREET MATRON’S FIRST ATTEMPT AT CHICKEN RAISING.—The incident actually occurred some time early in the summer, but only within the past few days Lave enough of the details leaked out to build the following amusing story. A lady who has lived on Curtin street for a number of years woke up one morn- ing last summer and announced to her husband that she was going to have a few chickens. ‘You know,’’ she said, ‘‘they will be so handy to have, for they will eat up all the scraps, lay an occasional egg and then we'll have one if visitors unexpected- ly drop in for a meal. Besides,’ she as- serted, feeling that her argument was go- ing straight home, ¥they need be no trou- ble to any one, for I purpose taking care of them myself.”” Her husband was thor- oughly awake by this time, and, husband like, began to interpose all wanuer of ob- jections, such as insistence that they would only be a nuisance, would scratch up all the flowers and they had no coop to keep them in and he knew who it would be who would have to run down in the back yard and shell corn for them when the ther- mometer was hovering around 0°. The controversy came very near ending in a ‘‘scene,’’ so they say, but the matron finally wrested a promise from her husband that he would send her home half a dozen chickens as soon as he went down town. He had no sooner left the house after breakfast until the good woman became a very fury of energy and excitement. She fairly flew about in the effort to get a coop fixed up to make the chickens feel at home. A large store box answered the purpese very well, but the neighbors flatly refused to tell how many times she pounded her thumb while getting it fixed up. It was scarcely completed when the grocers’ boy appeared around the corner of the house with a big covered basket. The lady fair- ly ran to meet him and upon being in- formed that ‘‘Here are your chickens, Mrs.——'’ she took the basket from him and started for her architectural pride, that would have made the leaning tower of Pisa dizzy. Turning the basket over on its side, close up to a little hole she had left in the coop, and slipping the cover back a little she stood up and gently said: ‘Shoo!’ There was nothing doing in the basket. She tapped it lightly with her toe, waived her big apron and said, “Shoo!” a little loud- er. Still the chickens showed no inclina - tion to trade their place in the basket for the home she had built for them. Of course she didn’t get mad, but she just gave that basket a real vicious kick the next time and shook her apron so frantic- ally that its flutter made wind enough to blow the chickens out and still they didn’t move. Finally she stooped down ,and gave the basket a good shake, accompanying it with a prolonged ‘‘Shoo-o0-0-0-0!’’ that turned into an aggravated ‘‘O-o-o-h!’ as oe of the chickens finally rolled out of the basket. It was dead as a nit. And so were all the others. They had no heads or feathers on, either, for the gentleman had hought them already for the pot. No outsiders were present when he went home for dinner that day, so it is not known what happened then or what was the real denouement of the lady’s chicken raising venture. elm His SKULL WAs CRUSHED. — Howard Zeigler, single and aged 28 years, who lives with his parents on the Van Tries farm, near Linden Hall, is lying at the point of death as the result of an accident on Mon- day. With a four horse team he delivered a load of corn fodder to his brother at Pleas- ant Gapand was homeward bound when the accident! occurred. He was on the Brush valley road near Squire Fergus Pot- ter’s when the end of the spring pole that had been lying in the bottom of the wagon evidently ran against some obstruction in the road. Mr. Zeigler probably did riot no- tice it, as he was walking at the side of the wagon. The pole doubled under the pres- sure put upon it by the wagon moving on and when it sprung loose it is thonght that it struck ths young man at the base of the brain, crushing his skull and rendering him unconscious. The team ran away home, though the driver was not found until some time later when he was picked up and carried into ’Squire Potter’s, where he was given every attention. As no one saw the accident it is merely conjecture we publish as to how it actually did occur. Every indication, however, points to the plausibility of the above theory. Zeigler was badly cut, also, about the face and shoulders so that some are of the opinion that he was knocked under the horses’ hoofs by the blow. It was the inténtion to remove him from the Potter home yesterday but it was de- ferred on account of the bad weather. He is getting along nicely. ee Qe ALL WiLL WisH IT SUcCEss.—On Wed- nesday afternoon John M. Dale Esq. went down to the Eagle Iron Co’s. works at Ro- land, where he and Sup’t. H. R. Curtin were presen at the blowing in of the old Eagle forge. The forge was relighted after an idleness of twenty-one years and if the experimental work they are doing now proves a success it will be operated per- manently, along with the Eagle furnace, that has been running so successfully sinee it was lighted some time ago. They are making charcoal blooms that they hope will come up to specifications that will secure a large contract for them. If it is secured it will mean work for many more men about Roland and under such conditions we are sure that all will join in our wish for success for the experiment. ——Jerome Spigelmyer has been re-ap- pointed postmaster at Millheim. ete tr ——Henry Southard, a well known Philipsbhurger, suffered a stroke of paralysis Friday afternoon.

The bear, which was feeding cou- tentedly ina nearby cornfield, turned out to be a stray cow. No damage was done, except Ed McCalmont, in his anxiety to be in at the finish, drove his horse too fast and it gave up the ghost instead of the bear. RR A UR ——Rev. Warren J. Johnston, of Lan- caster, has accepted a call to the pastorate of St. Luke’s Reformed church in Lock Haven. Rev.

An informal reception followed, after which Mr. and Mrs. Philips departed on a tour that will continue until Nov. 21st, when they will be at home at Hope- well. Among their many presents was $280.00 in cash. rebar —— Christmas is drawing near and you are donbtless wondering what to send as a present to a friend whom you would like to remember with something that would be appreciated. Now don’t spend your time knitting a pair of bed room slippers that will never be worn nor buy a tobacco pouch with 0 many tassels on it that no one wonld be seen pulling it out of his pocket, but send us $1.00 and have the WATCHMAN mailed to your friend for a year. It would be a very inexpensive present, yet one that would be a reminder of you every week and one that any per- son would appreciate. Bear this in mind when you are prompted to buy something to be knocked off the parlor mantle and broken or to be laid away in a bareau drawer until the moth riddle it. ai eye nei ———The Bellefonte Academy foot-ball team met with its first defeat of the sea- son on Saturday, when the eleven from Dickinson Seminary at Williamsport trail- ed the yellow and white of Capt. McGee and his band of sturdy young wariiors in the matted gross of the fair grounds and made a score of 15 to 5 against them. The visitors were heavier than the Academians, but in the first half the skill of one quite balanced the brawn of the other aud the balf ended with the score a tie. In the second, however, the preponderance of weight told on the light lineof the Acad- emy and two touchdowns were made, no goals resulting. The game was a very pretty contest and would have been quite interesting had the people who paid to see it had avy kind of a chance. The police regulations were so poor that the crowd of boys and fence climbers crowded in until the players had little or no chance to play and the spectators were without hope of see- ing. The season is about over here, but if1t isto be carried on successfully next year this feature will have to be elim- inated, as well as the young man on the Academy team who seems to think that the first essential of foot- ball playing is to fight. Unless the management can curb this vicious inclination to give some- one a poke in every scrimmage he had bet- ter be dropped from future lineups, for his playing is not so brilliant as to eclipse this unsportsmanlike babit. WHuAT Has DoNE IT ?—On Saturday evening Mr. Ad Fauble, junior member of the clothing firm that hears that well known name in this place, departed for New York on what might truly be called a trip extraordinary. Notwithstanding the fact that all the big houses send their best representatives here to offer every advau- tage to buyers and Mr. Fauble makes liber- al purchases from them he followed his usual custom, at the opening of this sea- son, of going east for a two weeks’ trip. This trip is made especially to pick up the later novelties that have come out in the city, after the regular tall lines have been shown, and to add more to the lines, among those already purchased, that bid fair to be the best sellers. This fall he made unusual purchases. His long acquaintance with the clothing trade in Centre county has given him an insight into the business that prompted him to pile the long tables in the clothing department of their stores higher than ever. In fact when the season opened it was gen- erally predicted that he had over-bought and would fail in his effort to move such an immense stock. Then he began to ad- vertise. The half page streamers that the WATCHMAN originated were called to his aid in both this paper and the Gazette, the Democrat columns were drawn upon heav- ily and the great clothing piles; began to move and banner days were frequently marked up in the Fauble stores. The movement bas kept right up to this very moment and has forced the stores’ buyer to make a second trip to New York before the season has gotten fairly started. It is really not so wonderful after all, when things are taken into consideration. Faubles are the heaviest advertisers in Cen- tre county by far, and we doubt] if there is another clothing firm in Central Penn- sylvania that does as much. But they make it a point to back their advertising with goods thas are exactly what they rep- resent them to be and are always careful to satisfy a purchaser before leaving him go, because they realize that in a small community the same person must deal with them year in and year out and he must be treated right, else he will not do it. These then, are the reasons that Mr. Ad Fauble hurried off to New York on Satur- day night to buy more goods. Who could bave thought that when the Faubles open- ed their little place down on Bishop street in 1887 that in the short period or fourteen years it would grow to such greatness. Mr. Fauble does not hesitate to say that printers’ ink has played a great part in the story of its progress. While he does pot ascribe it all to advertising he does say: ‘‘What would be the use of our hav- ing good goods for the masses unless we tell them about it.”’ Are there any other merchants in Belle- fonte who might find a moral in this story that youn all know is based absolutely on the facts ? a eo SUPT. GRAMLEY ARRANGING FOR IN- STITUTE.-—County superintendent of in- struction C. L.

Several em- ployees of the C. R. R. of Pa., thinking game grew in abundance or on trees, stopped off at that station last week and meandered through forest and dell, all day, without securing any booty. To go home empty handed they knew they would be held up to scorn and ridicule, and pear the depot Mrs. Howard Zerby had a very attractive flock of turkey, which at once attracted the eyes of the *‘R. R. sports.” They bargained for two of them but to convert them into wild turkeys was the next question. Mrs. Zerby would not al- low her handsome flock crippled so the two were caught and tied to the fence and the cannonading began. The noise attracted attention and upon inquiry our correspond- ent was told that two R. R. men were shooting tame turkeys. He then began to count the shots and counted twenty-two, when, like Sid Krumrive and Doc Fisher of old, they dropped their guns and had to finish the job with an ax. News Purely Pevsonal. —Dr. W. U.

Mrs. Houser paid her first visit to the working department of a newspaper office and was very much interested in the ‘“‘art preservative.” Mr. Houser said that he wanted to be ahead for awhile and paid for ‘his paper so far in advance that we will have a very hard time ever catching up again. — Hiram Lee, one of the young farmers of the county, was iu town on Saturday, and made a brief call at the Warcuman office. Mr. Lee farms on the Miliken farm below town and has a corn crop this fall that is hard to beat.
