The engine was fally one hundred feet from the railroad down a steep embank- ment and it was no small undertaking to get it back on the track. Two huge der- rioks were used and after the engine was righted a temporary track was built for the purpose of pulling the engine up onto the main track. The workmen bad it almost up when the pin which held the aprighs io one of the derricks broke and the pender- ous mass of iron rolled back down she embankment.

A FAIRY TALE.—While fact is stranger thao fiction moss any time, a man’s imagi- nation, or building castles in the air, has the former beat to a standstill all the time. For instance : A few days ago a resident of east Linn street was on his way down town when he was accosted by ome of the bricklayers working ou the new house Albers Sobad is erecting on that thoroughfare. After dis- coursing in general on the inequalities of this world the bricklayer assumed a very confidential tone and to the east Linn streeter said : “I suppose you aod a lot of other Belle- fonters, who knew the Schad boys years ago, are wondering where they are gettiog all she money with which to build this house on Linn street, buy that property on Lamb street and erect the two large brick houses they now have under way Shere, and you can’s figare it out, but I'll tell you. A few years ago Charlie Schad bought that piece of land on the top of the monn- tain for a mere song and in order to realize on his investment decided thas he would bave to improve it. He wens up there and began digging out the stones and stumps and —Hist | he found that bag of gold and gilver that those famous robbers, Lewis and Connelley, were reported to have bid- den somewhere in these mountains three quarters of a century ago. Of course Mr. Schad knew it would nos do to report his find at onoe so he discreetly kept quiet and now after the lapse of several years he is beginning so feed it out and 1t wont be long until we'll all wake up to the fact that he is the richest man in Bellefonte hy all odds.” That ended the fairy tale and the brick- layer returned to his work, the east Linn streeter pouderingly pursued his way down town and the Schads are keeping right slong with their bailding, as the brick- layers went to work on their Lamb street houses this week. SS iene For CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS. — Even though Christmas comes but once a year it is always a puzzling and vexatious ques tion when it comes to do the holiday shop- ping. There are two wise courses to par- sue, one to keep the list and value of your gilts well within the bounds of only what you can afford to spend. Doa’t attempt to give greater than your means, for in doing 80 you uct only do yourself an injustice but the probability is the recipient will net appreciate the gift as moch as be or she would did they know is was a gift of love for love's sake and not given because of a feeling of obligation. The second wise coarse to follow is to go where you can get the best value for the least money, and this you cao find ous by reading the clever advertisements in this issue of the WATCH- MAN. It is is clothing you want to buy yon cannot help but be suited at either Fau- ble’s or Montgomery & Co. Both these stores carry full and complete lines in up- to-date olothing and gents furnishing goods. At Lyon & Co. you can get all kinds of dry goods, Iadies and children’s clothing, notions, ete., while Harry Yea- ger will finish fitting you out with a pair of fashionable shoes. Jewelry is always timely as a present and at F. P. Blair & Co. you can get anything in that line, as well as silverware and novelties. Of conrse every reader of the WATCHMAN will want something extra fine for dinner on Christ mas and shis you can get at Sechler’s gro- oery store, while Ceader’s is the place to get your choicecandies and cakes. Ifyou want anything in the country produce or gro eries you can ges it at David Millers, while for a full line of notions go to Wil- lard’s store. These are only a few of the good places you will find mentioned in our advertising columns, so to-be sure you know where to get the beet of everything read every ad. —————— AAP ————— ——Men's 2.00 leather slippers $1.48 at Yeagers.
