I took a walk over an apple orchard a few days |
ago which generally yielded from seventy five to |
a hundred bushels of fine apples. The owner in-
|
formed me that this year he would hardly get a |
peck. But that is about the conditicn of nearly |
all the orchards in Penns valiey. Of course very man’s body hurtling through the air | house, barn and st
little apple butter will be made this fall,
over it most any place on dry land. Sinking creek
is simply a long crooked lane with scarcely a
mud puddle. At Allison's mill they were obliged
to stop several times last week to gain sufficient
water to run for a while. If we dont have a soak-
ing rain very soon our wells will have a serious
story to tell.
Nodoubt you have noticed that “Teddy” in his
western pilgrimage is preaching honesty and
clean politics. Of course it's only clap trap and
intended t= fool the people until after the election.
He never thought of honesty and clean politics
while President Its not natural with him. That
little game recently played on him in New York,
however, gave him to understand that he wasn't
absolute “boss”. The “old guard” evidently
doesn't care for the Oyaer Bay man.
Nibbled HiHs Toe and Child Almost
Bled to Death.
Arthur, the four-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Schofield, of Ander
| son, Ind., almost bled to death as a re-
| sult of having been bitten on the toe
by a rat.
While playing about the yard the
child stubbed his toe, and the mother
applied a home remedy to the bruise
in the form of a generous slice of fat
pork.
The boy then went to play in the
woodshed, and the rodent was evi.
dently attracted by the odor of te
meat. It nibbled at bacca un
I known to the child an: aa2lly plunzod
its sharp teeth into the toe. The
wound bled profusely and the child
| was weak from loss of bload when a
physician arrived. The wound was
cauterized, but blood poisoning is still
! feared.
Leaped From Ocean Pier.
In sight of hundrels of pleas: re
seekers enjoying the cool breezes on
| the far end of tae Stecl Plier at Atl:
tic City, N. J., Victor Foreman com-
suicide by leaping into the
ocean fully clothed.
Foreman it is said was a suffer-r
from some mental ailment and was
constantly under the care of a nu se,
| He went to the pier, and after listening
to the band concert for some time ex-
cused himself from his guardian for a
moment and walked toward the end of
| the structure.
Word was sent to the hospital tent,
and Hall and Davis, life guards, rowed
with all possible speed to the spot
where Foreman had leaped overboard.
They recovered the body, but the ei-
| forts to resuscitate the man were with-
| out avail.
Maine Deer Takes a Buggy Ride.
Francis F. Mitchell, a New York
man vacationing in Maine, had the
surprise of his life, while driving along
a road a few miles from Bangor. He
was sitting back in the seat enjoying
the beautiful scenery, when he was
to see a (rightened deer
spring from the forest at the road-
side and leap into the carriage, fal.
ing between the dashboard and the
horse.
The latter kicked until the vehicle
was demolished. After both the horse
and deer hade kicked about for three
minutes the child of the forest man.
aged to extricate itself and ran back
into its retreat, apparently none the
worse for its experience.
Bather Attacked by Dogfish.
Fred H. Melloy, of New York, is un-
der treatment at Bangor, Me., for so
vere wounds received in an attack by
dogfish.
Malloy and John Wallace, also of
. New York, have been cruising in their
| motor boat Conqueror along the Maine
coast. Diving off the boat while two
miles off Islesboro, Malloy was sur
rounded by dogfish. His cries attract.
ed Wallace, who put out after him
and brought him ashore bleeding bhad-
ly and nearly exhausted from his bat.
tle with the fish.
Mother Sees Son Murdered.
Near Wadesboro, in Anson countv.
Va., Jesse Edwards shot and instantly
killed his brother Peter without pro.
vocation.
Peter had just returned from chruch
and was sitting on the porch, when
Jesse emerged from the house with a
pistol in his hand, and pushing aside
his mother, who stood between them,
he shot Peter three times, killing him
instantly. There is said to have been
bad blood existing between the two
brothers for some time.
Drought Makes Wild Animals Bold.
The severe drought in the west is
causing panthers and wolves to be-
come unusually bold. Word has been
brought to Marathon, Texas by James
Walker that a big panther attacked
and killed two cows and a horse near
his residence a few miles from town.
Lion Chokes to Death on Meat.
Rajah, the big tiger of the Bronx
zoo, in New York, choked to death
on a piece of meat while being fed.
Rajah had the reputation of being the
ugliest tiger in the country as well as
| the finest.

' Painters Working High Upon Twenty- |
six-Story Building See Body Flash |
by Them From the Roof.
Crowds cn Parkj Row, in New York,
stopped, horrified at the sight of a
from the roof of the twenty-six-story |
Penns creek is extremely low. One can cross | Park Row building.
The body crashed into the skylight |
of the six-story building adjoining and
became jammed in the machinery of
the elevator. It was hardly recogniz- |
able, | located on
At first it was supposed the man, |
{ who was identified by papers on his |
body as Edgar H. Holbrook, an insur-
ance solicitor and collector, of 290
Broadway, had chosen a sensational |
method of committing suicide. At the
office of an insurance company at 290
| Broadway, C. Pritchard and Wilbur!
Morris, business associates of Hol. | I
brook, said they knew of no reason
why Holbrook, who formerly lived in |
Philadelphia, should commit suicide,
They scouted the idea for the further
reason that, as they understood, Hol-'
brook's wife was blind. In a watch
found on the body was a picture of
Mrs. Holbreok. [osens
Two painters working high up on|
the north side of the building saw the |
man kicking and waving his arms, as |
if making futile efforts to save him-!
self. He swept down, his straw hat |
sailing after him. Where the man
came from, how it happened that he
was flying through the air, are things |
that have not yet been explained. The
painters saw him first in the air above
them. So far as they knew he mizht |
have been dropped from a passing!
airship. i
Whether he leaped or was pushed]
from the roof or one of the windows, |
or if he went to the top of the buill-
ing and became dizzy and toppled off |
are questions as vet unanswered,
An odd feature of the affair is that
a telegram was received at the Fark
Row building addressed to Holbrok. '
It was taken to the chief engineer of |
the building. whose name is Lebroucq, |
by a messenger boy. The telegram was
from Norwich, Conn. As there was no
E. H. Holbraok in the building, Le-
broucq opened the telegram. It read:
“Thanks. cannot use a promoter.”
The telerram was returned to the
telegraph ofice and nothing rors was
thought of it until the engineer heard |
the name of the dead man. The engi
neer could not recali the signature at-
tached to the telegram.
Crippen and Companion Arraigned.
Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and Miss
Ethel Clara Leneve, his typist, were
accused of the murder of Belle Elmore,
Crippen’'s wife, in the formal charge
read to them in the Bow street police
court, London, England.
Miss Leneve was charged also with
harboring and maintaining Crippen af-
ter the crime and while knowing that
he committed it.
Inspector Dew introduced evidence
to show that Crippen contemplated
suicide while at sea following his
flight.
Crippen was quoted also as declar-
ing that his companion knew nothing
of the trouble in which he was in-
volved, and Miss Leneve was said to
have protested her innocance.
There was special interest in the
nature of the formal charge, as the
warrant for the fugitives had merely
laid at their door responsibility for
the death of an unknown woman
whose body was found in the cellar
of the Crippen home at Hilldrop Cres-
cent.
Find Gems on Maine Farm.
A notable dis@rvery of gems was
made at the old Brown farm on the
road from Marston's Corner to Minol,
about six miles out of Auburn, Me.
In one pocket in a tourmaline mine
on that farm, uncovered by a single
blast, were found 6000 carats of the
finest tourmaline. As they are worth
$15 a carat cut, this means that the
pocket contained from $40,000 to $75,
000 worth of the gems
Two weeks ago two other pockets
were struck in the same mine which
yielded not less than 2000 carats of
rough crystals, so that in the last two
weeks gems which will run up over
the $100,000 mark have been taken out
of this mine.
Holds Baby Abeve Water.
Standing in five feet of water in
the bottom of a cistern at her home,
near Sedan, Kan., Mrs. John Burch,
the wife of a farmer, for eight hours
held aloft her two-year-old child until
the arrival home of her husband.
The child had fallen into the cistern
and the mother had sprung after it,
seized the baby in her arms, raised it
above the surface of the water and
called for help. No one was within
hearing of the woman's calls, and
throughout the greater part of the day
Mrs. Burch stood, the water reaching
up almost to her neck, and waited for
the return of her husband from his
work in the fields.
Bigamist Gets Long Sentence.
Before Judge Savidge and a jury
in the Northumberland county court,
at Sunbury, Pa., John W. Blooming-
dale admitted that he had left his
wife and five children in their home at
5054 Westmister avenue, Philadelphia,
with only $1 between them and star
vation, so that he might marry Kath-
ryn Adams, of Sunbury.
He was sentenced to an indetermi-
nate term in the eastern penitentiary
of from two years and three months
to nine years, depending upon his be-
havior.
This sentence was partialy for big-
amy and partially for perjury. Bloom-
ingdale admitted that he swore falsely
when securing a marriage license.

A BANK ACCOUNT
We do not advise any one to be a miser, for every
man owes himself the necessary comforts of life;
neither do we advise you to be known as a “spender”
by your associates. It may sound flattering but the
man who has a bank account and saves at least a
small part of his wages stands head and shoulders
above the spendthrift in any community.

September at the Seashore.
REDUCED FARES ACCOUNT G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
The rolling ocean with its boundless prospect is ever interesting;
but at no time is it more enticing than during the month of Septem-
ber. The bathing is at its best. The sailing is ideal. The salt sea
air is charged with increased invigoration, and there is a geniality
about it unknown during the torrid days of summer.
Atlantic City, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor,
Anglesea, Wildwood, Holly Beach, Wildwood Crest, and Cape May
are all prepared to entertain with exceptional hospitality all guests who
may come. The hotels are less crowded and more comfortable ; the
service is better, and in most instances the rates are lower.
Excursion tickets to Atlantic City will be sold at reduced fares on
September 16, 17. 18, 19, and 20, on account of the G. A. R. Na-
tional Encampment, good returning to reach original starting point
not later than September 28. For stop-over privileges and extension
of return limit, to October 28, consult Ticket Agents.
Unusual enjoyment awaits the September sojourner by the sea.
