Bellefonte, Pa., May 17, 1912. - DOING ELLIS A FAVOR. Conrad, ihreading his way across the steamboat dock littered with | boxes and trunks and trucks and peo- ple, saw Ellis at a distance and head- ed his way. i Ellis was a man that it paid to cul- | tivate. Conrad was glad they were crossing the lake on the same boat, ! for there was the chance of a smoke | and a chat together. “Great jam tonight, isn't there?” Conrad remarked after greeting Ellis. The man with whom Ellis had been talking when Conrad came up laugh- ed at this. “There sure is,” he re- marked. “I can't get a berth, let alone a stateroom! Guess I'll have to sit up all night!" Conrad eagerly grasped thischance | to do a favor for a friend of Ellis. ' “You can have a berth in my state- room,” he said, cordially. “I'm alone i in it.” i Later on Conrad sought his room. Somehow he had lost Ellis after the | boat started. He had patiently pa- | trolled the decks without finding him, | and was consequently disgruntled. El- lis had not even seemed decently ' pleased at the kindness te his friend. | The stateroom door was locked. | Conrad rapped. There was no am- | swer. He rapped louder. He repeat- | ed it, | The man in the next stateroom flung | open his door crossly and asked Con- rad to stop trying to knock in a side of the boat. He said he had press- | ing business in port, and if Con- rad sunk the vessel and he had to | swim in he would be late for his ap- pointment. Thereupon Conrad kicked the door of his stateroom. It was opened six inches and a sleepy and blinking face ' peered forth. Conrad shoved himself inside. i “Who are you?" demanded the blink- : ‘ing man. | “Here, wake up!” replied Conrad, disgustedly. “This is my stateroom, and I'm going to bed. Don’t you re- | member that [| offered to share with | you?” “Oh!” said the blinking man, com- prehendingly, sitting down. Then he ! rolled over and went to sleep again. | Suddenly Conrad gave a howl. . “What have you got in here?” he | asked. The sleepy man sat up and regard- ed the floor on which Conrad was dancing. “Oh,” he said, and seemed amused. “They've got out, haven't they? [| must have kicked a hole in the paper covering! There's a hun- dred of those crabs!" “Then there are just a hundred too many!” Conrad announced as he made a leap for life, “You see,” said the other passen- ger, sociably, “I'm going over to visit a friend, and he's daffy about eating little fresh water crabs. He asked me to bring him some. I put ‘em in a basket.” “Well, put 'em back!” Conrad or- dered, ferociously. Crouched on the edge of the berth, he watched the other man try to cor- ral those agile crabs. He chuckled perc They Used a File In Trepanning Op- erations In Hippocrates’ Time. So far as actual records go, Hippo- crates gives us the earliest account. He wrote treatises on fractures, dislo- cations and wounds of the head. In which he described the method of pro- cedure to be followed in the case of a fractured skull. His direction was to cut away a piece of bone so that the pressure on the brain might be re lieved. There are also records about this time and later of a file being used for this purpose, which at a time when anaesthetics were undreamed of must have been, to say the least, painful. According to Dr. T. Rice Holmes, the operation of removing pieces of bone was performed long before historic times. The effects on the skull are easily seen after death and are visible so long as the bones are preserved. From inspection of certain skulls or the later stone age in ancient Britai: Dr. Holmes has come to the conclusion that some of these had undergone the operation, which must have been per formed with a stone implement.—Lou don Standard. VERY WELL INVESTED. A Loar That Carnegie’s Old Kinsman Didn't Want Repaid. Andrew Carnegie told the following story with great relish. When his fa ther was leaving his native country to settle in America he borrowed £20 from a relative. The family had an uphill battle on the other side of the Atlantic. but when the tide of prosperity turned | with the son he remembered his fa- ther's indebtedness and determined to clear it off, together with its accumn- lated interest. He started by remit. ting the sum of £20 and for several years sent the same amount, a divi- dend equal to exactly 100 per cent, Returning to Scotland, the Pittsburgh fronmaster met his old relative. “Well,” said Mr. Carnegle, “having paid up a good deal of the interest, | should like now to clear off the princi- pal.” “Ay, ay, Andrew, dinna ye fash yer- sel’ aboot the loan! A’'m pairfectiy satisfled with the interest.” “Oh, but I'm rich enough now, | think, to clear off the principal!” re- plied the millionaire. “Dinna mind the principal, Andrew,” sald the relative. “It's very weel In- vested as it 1s!"

There are scores of self pitying loafers on the sick list of every doctor who need, not drugs, not ‘‘treatment” of any sort, but simply work. To prescribe rest cures for this type is directly inciting them to a lazy life, when their dissat- UNSEATED NON-PAYMENT OF TAXES FOR 1910 Pert Answer.

He wanted ber to tell him the age of somebody she knew ' or at least to make a guess at it, but he couidn’t get a satisfactory answer from her. “Come; you can generally form an | idea of age from people's looks.” he said, coaxingly. “Now, how old would you say I am?” To which the lady replied. “You might be sixty by your looks: but. judging by the questions you ask. | should say about sixteen.” Shoreless Bolivia.

' The Memento Henry Irving Once Pre. sented to Helen Keller, In J. Henry Harper's book, “The House of Harper,” he tells a story of Helen Keller and Henry Irving. They ' met at Laurence Hutton’s house. and the blind girl seemed to be so conver- sant with “Hamlet” that Irving invited her to “witness” his performance, and she readily accepted. “After the sec- ‘ ond act Irving sent word to her that he should like to have her come on the stage if she was so inclined, and when she arrived he showed her around and explained the stage setting. She ran her hands gently over his costume and | seemed to be much pleased with his makeup. “As she was leaving to return to her box Irving thought that he ought to give her some little memento of the occasion. He realized that in his cos- tume as Hamlet there was nothing he could readily spare, but as it was his custom to put on his eyeglasses as soon as the curtain went down he took | them off and handed them to her. i “In the middie of the next act he, suddenly recalled the fact that Miss Keller was blind, and he told me that it almost broke him up when he thought of the faux pas he bad made.” . \} troubles I have had Hood's Sa rilla isthe .
