£ Bellefonte, Pa. September 13. 1907. PROVED HIS ABILITY A FOG AT SEA. It Frightens the Timid and Even Dis- | countenances the Brave. | This curious pleture of an arrival at the Hook of Holland is by C. Lewis Hind: “I awoke suddenly. It was full daylight. My watch indicated 4 in the A Tenderfoot's Wonderful Feat In morning. We should be nearing the Herding Sheep. In the west they tell this story about = stopped? Dutch coast.

A man without a horse would make a pretty poor show.” “Well, I'll tell you; when I was at college 1 was the champion sprinter of the institution. I believe I could do you some good service. 1 have a long distance record too. I wish you'd give me a chance and let us see what I can do.” With a good natured but pitying smile the ranchman said all right and bade his new man to get some supper, turn in and be ready to go to work early the next morning. When the employer rose next morn- ing he saw the new employee coming in from the direction of the sheep quarters. Somewhat surprised at the young fellow's gnterprise in getting up so early, he accosted him: “Well, you're up and ready to go to work, are you?” “Oh, my, yes! I've been at work for two or three hours.” Then the ranchman noted that the tenderfoot was dressed in working clothes, a sweater, and already looked rather flushed. “What have you been doing?’ he asked. “Driving those lambs into the cor- ral.” “What lambs? I have no lambs. This is not the lamb season.” “Well, 1 chased eighty-five of them in, and 1 tell you I had a time of it too.” The ranchman went with the young tenderfoot to see what the story he told was about. And, sure enough, huddled up togeth- er, frightened and tired out, were eighty-five wild jackrabbits. “All right, young man; I think you'll do,” said the ranchman.—Chicago Rec- ord-Herald. A Bismarck Duel. A duel In which Bismarck was once engaged had a very amusing origin. It ocenrred when he was chief secre- tary of the Prussian legation at Frank- fort. He went much into society and one Christmas attended a big ball During the height of the festivities Bismarck's attention was directed to an exceedingly pompous individual who strutted about the room. This was a M. de Clancy, a noted French duelist. Later on this important individual took part in the dance, but having omitted to leave his hat at the proper place had perforce to hold it out al- most at arm's length while he danced. The spectacle tickled Bismarck im- mensely, and, as the Frenchman came sailing majestically along, Bismarck stepped forward and dropped a coin into the hat. A duel was one of the next day's events. Though it was with pistols Bismarck escaped unhurt, while his adversary was wounded. Home Grown Motors. Even a book agent sometimes falls of achievement through unforeseen misunderstanding. “Colonel,” sald one of them affably to a Texan whose rec- ord he had looked up beforehand. “those are mighty fine boys of yours.” “The finest in the country, stranger,” said the colonel. “The finest in Tex- as.” “I reckon you buy them anything they want?” “Why, stranger, I buy them any- thing they need, whether they want it or not.” “Then, colonel, let me sell you a cy- clopedia for them. There's nothing else will do them so much good.” The colonel looked at him i. aston- ishment. “Why, stranger,” he said, “them boys of mine don't need any cyclopedia. They ride mules.”—Youth’s Companion. Put Crape In Windows. Passengers on the Second avenue elevated road witness one custom that seems peculiar to the people living in the flats along that line of travel. They frequently see streamers of crape tled to the second and third story front windows that open on fire escapes. Somehow the bereaved relatives feel that crape on the flat house door will not indicate with sufficient clearness which family has suffered loss, so to point out exactly the rooms where mourning exists the windows are hung with crape.—~New York Press, As London Sees Us. In an article on smoking the West- minster Gazette of London says: “At Wasaington senators not only smoke in committee rooms, but in the senate itself. Often a Washington ‘or- ator’ has been known to deliver a per- Ypatetic speeck, attending to his cigar at regular intervals, and followed by a crowd of reporters eagerly taking down his utterances.” - _ This is the case with many people, I noticed that the landing platform had been ex- ed upon it. On the bridge were five men. The captain stood in the center with two of his subordinates on either side. They leaned over the rail peering into the wall of fog. 1 went forward. Threé of the crew were bent double over the bows seeking the black mass that might be moving toward us. 1 could almost fancy I heard the crash, the shouts and the rush of feet. “The air was damp. I went below. A dozen passengers were gathered | around the breakfast table sipping tea | and toying with toast.

A woman cried silently. A large, flabby man took the seat adjoin- ing mine, rested his elbow upon the ta- ble and covered his eyes. 1 thought he was praying, but when the steward ad- vanced and stood Inquiringly before him he raised his head for a moment and said, ‘Ham and eggs.’ “Those homely and unfamiliar words relieved our depression; also the vessel began to move faster. Soon the siren ceased, and when the captain slouched into the cabin and called for a cup of hot coffee we—well, I think some of us could have danced a jig. I went on deck. “There was Holland. The sun was scattering the fog. We passed the place where the Berlin was wrecked. Pooh! Who minds fear on the morning after, with all the adventures of a new day waiting?’ ENZLISH LOCAL SPEECH. Peculiar Way the Names of Some Towns Are Pronounced. We English are horribly phonetic | and think nothing of spelling our name | FFeatherstonehaugh and pronouncing | it Beecham. If you motor you must | twist your tongue to the local speech. There is a quiet village in Kent that is spelled Stalistieid and has achieved the distinction of keeping a railway station at nine miles distance. But if you ask your way to it you must call it Starchfell or you will never find it Huntingdonshire claims the purest English, as Hanover the purest Ger- man. But by the peasants Papworth is called Parpor. And not far distant is another village of beauty. The mo- torist turned upon a reugh road and asked the intelligent laborer where it would take him. “That road,” said the honest countryman, wiping his brow, “will take you to "Ell, sir." The courageous motorist went on and found Ellsworth. which is merely El- ser, The trouble as to the pronunciation of place names makes one very diffi- dent, a correspondent complains, as to venturing upon pronouncing any that one knows only by the eye and not by the ear. Being a Suffolk man, he knows that Waldringfield is Wunner- ful and Chelmondiston is Chimston, while in the adjoining county of Nor- folk Happisburgh is Hazebro and Hunstanton Hunston, and visits to the west country have revealed that Badgeworthy is Badgery and Corn- wood Kernwood. The resuit is that he would not dare to make a shot at Uttoxeter or Bathampton, never hav- ing happened to hear either referred to by a native. After all, there are unfortunate differences of opinion among Londoners, even as to South- wark, Brompton and the two Brom- leys.— London Chronicle. Don’t Be Too Thoughtful. Some people are often accused of be- ing thoughtless, but better that should happen sometimes than always being regarded as too thoughtful. The habit of thinking too deeply on every item has an immense amount of failure at the bottom. Whether it was best to learn short- hand or a language perplexed one in- dividual for seven months. He could not make up his mind as to which he would derive the most advantage from. He might have learned any one of those accomplishments in the time he took to think about it. and Fortune has an awkward habit of crushing the too thoughtful just as much as the thoughtiess.—London An- BWers. What Is Sound? The natural question, “What fis sound?” opens up a world of mystery and of delight to those that like that sort of thing. Anything that sets up vibrations in the air, where there is an ear to receive them, makes a noise, An alarm clock In a vacuum jar may whir ever so busily, but it makes no noise. There must be sir or there is no sound, and there must be an ear to earry the vibrations to the brain or there is no noise.—Delineator.
