COMMENCEMENT AT THE PENNSYL-

annual commencement exercises, which
will begin at The Pennsylvania State Col-

hopefulness that has dawned for that in-

Sohwab auditorium will be formally pre-
sented to the trustees, the excavations for
the new Carnegie library will be about
completed, the ground for the magnificent
new agricultural building which the recent
Legislature provided for will be broken
and time alone wil tell what further lavish
bequests Mr. and Mrs. Schwab will have
to announce. Certain it is that their in-
terest in the growing Centre county insti-
tution will lead to something far beyond
the dreams of most people.
These are some of the specially auspicious
events that are to be expected next week
and everyone is invited to be present to
participate in the enjoyment of them.

has seriously reduced the facilities for com-
fortably entertaining guests,but the College

tend.

will give up their homes to lady visitors
and hundreds of the boys in the main
dormitories will do the same. They will
be given sleeping quarters on cots in the
various ¢lass rooms and Harrison, the cat-
erer, will serve meals in the armory at the
same rate as the hotels, Of course every-
thing will be a little crude, but who will
notice or complain of any little short com-
ing under circumstances that ohtain at the
College now. . on

IN A NEW BUSINESS.—No sooner bad
Mr. G. R. Spigelmyer disposed of his
Racket stores to the Irvin Bros. than he
began to look about for something that
would occupy his time, yet give him plenty
of out-of-door life. For a quarter of a
century he bas been behind counters and
in the business office of mercantile establish-
ments and now he has entered a new field,
a business in which his wonderful activity
and acumen will find no bounds, for the
world is the market he will have to sell to
as a member of the Bullock Swing and
Chair Mfg Co.
He has entered a co-partnership with L.
C. Bullock, of Milesburg, for the manufac-
ture of the famous porch and lawn swings,
roller chairs, hammocks and carts the lat-
ter is the inventor of. They will have
their works at Milesburg, but the business
of the company will be done from this
place.
Starting off with the acknowledged su-
periority and usefalness of their patentsand
combining with it the known hustling
| ability of these two men the possibilities of
the new concern seem to have no limit.
Everyone who has used a Bullock poreh or
lawn swing will tell you that it is cheaper
than those of any other make and -as for
durabilitsy—— well, there is no wear out to
it.
Both Mr. Bullock and Mr. Spigelmyer
expect to devote all of their time to the
business in the future.

NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING—That
Annie Rhule and her little four year old
brother and sister did not go down to
watery graves at Spring Mills last Saturday
is due to the prompt action and heroism
of Mrs. Krider Frank, who plunged into
Penus creek, waist deep, and dragged them
from the water just as they were sinking
the last time. er
A foot bridge, or rather a plank, is
thrown over Penns creek, at the upper end
of that village, simply as a short road home
for Krider Frank, who resides close hy.
He placed it there for his own convenience.
On Saturday Annie Rhule ten years of age,
with Harry and Mary, both four years old,
children of Mrs. Margaret Rhule, attempted
to cross the creek on the plank, but fell
into the water. Their screams attracted
the attention of Mrs. Krider Frank, who
immediately ran to the bank of the creek
and plunged into the water waist deep and
rescued them. Harry was almost suffocat-
ed, but finally all recovered. It was a
very narrow escape, and only the prompt
action of Mrs. Frank averted a sad and
distressing acoident.
