Seman , Bellefonte, Pa., September 1, 1911. —— ——————— —— ——— oe Such a Thoughtful | Woman. When the man and woman started down the subway stairs the man felt in his pockets for tickets. “By George!" he said. “Isn't that a shame? I've got to stop in all this mob and buy tickets.” *Oh, no, you haven't,” said the wo- man. “1 kave them. When 1 came downtown | remembered what you said avout those people who buy only one ticket at a time making such a nuisance of themselves, so, as 1 had 15 cents to spare, | bought three tick- ets. | have two leftt We can go right on through.” So the man and the woman drifted along with the pushing crowd to the point where the ticket chopper held them up and demanded tribute. Then the woman looked in her purse for the tickets. Suddenly her face assumed a painful blankness, “I—1 haven't got them,” she falter ed. "1 was In such a hurry when I came through that I must have drop- ped zll three tickets into the uptown box.”—New York Herald. A Note That Was Paid. History is constantly repeating it- self. Once upon a time a landlady in Washington called on President An- drew Jackson and told of a govern- ment clerk who owed her a big bill for board. In those days it was easy to have access to the White House. | President Jackson listened to her! story and advised her to get a promis- | sory note from the clerk and put it in| bank. She replied: “I've done that twice, general, and he won't pay even then." “ls that so?" sald the president ml surprise. “Now you go and get his| note and bring it to me [| simply want to see it, and I'm sure that the clerk wil pay that note. Go and bring it to me." The landlady did so, and soon return- ed with the promissory note. The president turned it over and wrote across the back of it his own indorse- ment: “A. Jackson." That note was paid at maturity. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Waves In Solid Metal. As illustrating the advances in metal- lurgy and engineering it has been demonstrated that solid metals may reveal by their structure the vibra- tions to which they have been subject. ed. In explaining this phenotzenon experiments have been =hown proving that oa beautiful wave structure can be imparted to the surface of mercury by the vibrations of an tuning fork, and that even the surface of solid lead which had been subjected to similar vibrations possesses a structure re- sembling that of a vibrating surface of mercury. Mild steel has been de- fined as a “solid solution” of iron and carbon, free from cinders. Metallur- gists have doubled the strength of steel as it was known in its early days.— Scientific American. Relieved. “Where did you get :hese examples of faultily constructed sentences?” ask- ed Dr. Campbell, the great rhetorician, of a student. “Out of one of your books, doctor.” “What? Where? Out of one of my books?" “Yes, sir; out of your ‘Rhetorie.”” “Out of my ‘Rhetoric!’ ” roared the doctor. “Impossible! Never did I make use of such language. You are mistaken. badly mistaken. But—but— where in my ‘Rhetoric’ did you find such composition?’ he demanded an- grily. “In the part, ‘Sentences to be Cor- rected!” “0-h-h-h-h-k! A-h-h-h-h! Yes, yes,” said the relieved doctor.—Philadelphia North American. Too Much For Her. Calling oue day to see an old friend who was visiting her married som, I inquired of the colored maid who an- swered the bell, “1s Mrs. Smith at home?” . “Yus'm, she home,” the girl replied, showing no inclination to invite me in. “She here, all right. but she got a misery in de haid.” “Mrs. Smith senior?’ 1 asked with concern. “Seen me!” she exclaimed suspicious- ty. “Cose she seen me. Huccome she ain’ see me w'en she hire me las’ night huh own self?" And she indig- pantly shut the door.—Lippincott’s. The Worst. “My wife has been having some trouble with her throat,” confided a friend, “and 1 got pretty worried about it and sent for a doctor. He examined her and looked very grave, and that scared me even worse. So I sald, ‘Tell me the worst at once, Doc,’ and he whispered, ‘She will re- cover her voice’ And my wife heard the question and the answer, and now Doc and ! are both in bad.”"— Cleveland Plain Dealer. —— Resentment. “Did you say I was a cheap trick- ster?" asked the ward worker. “No, I didn't,” replied the man is close to the boss. “1 merely you were a trickster.” “Well, that's all right, but don't you ever insinuate that | am doing a cat rate business.”—Washington Star.

The old man of the correspondents wv always had a cheerful greeting them. It was often noticed, too, that he seemed to be greatly interested in their conversation. One afternoon, as three of them step ped out of the elevator, Sereno Payne of New York stepped in. As the car went down the old elevator man turn. ed and said: i puzzle me.” “What's the trouble with them?” asked Mr. Payne. “Well, Mr. Payne, every day they ride in this car one feller will turn to another and say, ‘What do you know today? And the other fellow will answer, ‘Not a — thing. What do you know? Then the first feller will answer, ‘Nothing.” And yet, Mr. Payne, the papers are just full of news every day. It beats me where they get it." “It beats me too,” said Mr. Payne.~ Brooklyn Eagle. Old Time Strawberries. 2 Strawberries have improved very much in flavor since the fifteenth cen- tary. Until then the only strawber- ries eaten were wild strawberries of 2 kind which would never find a mar’ ket nowadays. By 1480, however, they were beginning to be cultivated, for Holinshed records under that date a. particularly fine crop grown by the bishop of Ely in the grounds of his palace, now covered by Hatton garden, He quotes the Duke of Gloucester as saying to the bishop: "My lord, you have very good strawierries in your garden In Holborn. | require you to let us have a mess of them.” This speech was copied almost verbatim by Shakespeare in “Richard IIL" Still, even the bishop's fruit would not ap- peal much to modern connoisseurs, for the garden strawberries at that period were only transplanted wildlings, the plants being sold at about fourpence a bushel.—London Standard. Origin of the Piano. The pianoforte was directly evolved from the clavichord and the harpsi- chord. In 1711 Scipione Maffel gave a detailed account of the first four in- struments, which were constructed by Bartolommeo Chrustoforl. It was named by him the pianoforte and was first exhibited in 1709. Marius, ir France, exhibited harpsichords, with hammer action, in 1716, and Schroter, in Germany. claimed to bave invent-' ed the planoforte between 1717 and 1720. Marius was at first generally credited with the invention. Pianos of that period were shaped very much ike the modern grand variety. The first square plano was constructed by Frederica, an organ manufacturer of Saxony, in 1758. The first genuine up- vight plano was invented in England and the United States by John Isaac Hawkins, an Englishman, in 1800.— Detroit Free Press. The First Money. Money is mentioned as a medium of exchange in Genesis, chapter 23, and is supposed to refer to a time as far back as 1800 B. C. The coinage of money is ascribed to the Lydlans, a people of Asia Minor Ir is, of course, quite impossible to fix any definite date for the first coinage. long before any one thought to coin money it was made out of any durable substance that came to hand, such as leather, iron, tia, bronze and even the bard bark of the trees and stones of the fields. The Hollander, so late as the middle of the sixteenth century, made money of pasteboard. In fact, pretty nearly ev- erything in the shade of lasting mate rial has at one time or another been used as the medium of trade known as money. Suiting the Action to the Word. At a lecture a well known authority on economics mentioned the fact that in some parts of America the number of men was constantly larger than that of women, and he added humor- ously, “1 can therefore recommend to the ladies to emigrate to that part.” A young lady who was seated in one of the last rows of the auditorium got up and, full of indignation, left the room rather noisily, whereupon the lecturer remarked, “1 did not mean! that it should be done in such a hur- ry."—Judge.
