a AS Bellefonte, Pa., June 14, 1912. SIAN ESCAPED IN TUNE. James had paid Gertrude marked at. tention while she was visiting her aunt. Though others knew to a cer | tainty that he intended proposing to | the charming stranger, James himself | was undecided. | “Meeting a girl at dances, only see | ing her with her company manners | on, isn't conducive to really knowing her,” soliliquized James. “How can | I tell that like the girl who when she | was good, was very very good and when she was bad she was horrid I'll solve the enigma. Accept her in vitation to spend a few days at her country home. The rest will do me good. Then after that if we prove congenial, me for a benedict.” Gertrude was a vision of loveliness when she greeted her admirer at the station. “So delighted you came,” she said welcoming him with a joyful face. “We needed another for our tennis match.” “I'm too tired to play,” commenced James. “Don't be disagreeable but hurry; they're waiting for us,” returned Ger trude. After the game, at which the new- comer was badly beaten, Gertrude sug: gested a swimming contest. “I'd rather not,” complained James. “Let's sit in that inviting hammock.” “Your no sport, don't be a ditcher,” said one of the party. “If you insist, all right,” answered James. So in swimming they went. Every one except James enjoyed the cool refreshing waves. But, he never did enjoy anything he didn’t want to do. At dinner Gertrude commented upon the fact that her guest did not ap pear in a white suit. “I thought I suited you all right,” he replied. “No, vou seem to dislike all the things I find pleasure in. For in stance, would you like to take a tramp through the wood?” “Surely, let's start early in the morning,” agreed James, glad for an opportunity to be alone with Ger trude. After being abused for three hours | because he insisted upon trumping his partner's ace, James retired, to be awakened at dawn by a gentle knock at his door. “Hurry, I'm all ready,” called Ger trude. James jumped helter-skelter into his clothes and found Gertrude wait: ing for him, looking not quite as pretty as she had in the favorable gaslight. After walking a couple of miles James protested that he felt weary and hungry. “There's an apple orchard about a half-mile from here. We'll get some apples,” said Gertrude, for nothing could deter her from continuing her walk. A very sober couple appeared on the porch a few hours later. After a hearty breakfast Gertrude begged James to go fishing. He had to row around the lake for the rest of the morning in the broiling sun and all they caught were two small perch. “Some strenuous life,” he com- mented as the boat neared the land- ing and he was becoming bored by Gertrude’s incessant talking of topics which did not interest him. “These stunts are an everday oc- curence. Woaldn't you like to live this simple life?” questioned Gertrude. “Not to my taste.” “The boys expect you to play in their baseball game,” Gertrude called after James as he left her. The baseball over Gertrude ap- peared with her golf bag requesting James to play with her. They chased the ball around the links until it started to pour rain in torrents. “Its pouring,” cried James, “Oh, we always play in the rain” answered Gertrude. Drenched to the skin they started home. “What's the trouble with your face?” asked Gertrude. “I don’t know, it feels all face.” “Its swollen and has red patches all over it. Maybe its poison ivy.” After comsulting the village doctor, who informed him that he had most likely touched some ivy in the woods and had a bad case of poisoning, James returned home on the next train to remain in the house for a week suffering intensely. When James read of Gertrude’a en- gagement to Harold Lifton, champion of the football players, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Thanks to that poison ivy I es- eaped in time. If I was so tired out in a couple of days how could I have stood it for a life time?” It has been remarked that when rain falls in the desert it at once begins to develop verdure and beauty. These arid stretches of sand contain in themselves the elements of beauty, only needing the roper conditions to reveal all that lies dden beneath the bleak and barren sur- face. Something like this is the condi- tion of the human body. Health is every one's prerogative. Yet people live along in suffering and sickness, not realizing that the fair flower of health would spring up in this barren life of theirs under right conditions. What rain is to the desert Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is to the body. It vitalizes and vivifies. It takes the of health and makes them fruitful. It pushes out the blood taints and foul diseases which mar and maim the body and in place gives an in- creased flow of pure blood, which nour- ishes and builds up the body in all its and organs. The blood is the life. . " makes lif mak- Dissovery new life by ing ed at one end of a tank which is filled with water. This is called the anode or positive pole. The action of a pow- erful electric current releases the cop- per, carries it through the water and deposits it on the negative or cathode pole. The result is what is known as “electricity” or “cathode” copper. It is what pennies are made of. While the “electrolytic” is the purest known copper, the “lake” copper brings a slightly higher price in the market. Tkis is because there is a small amount of silver in all the copper from the Lake Supericr regions. It is so small that it cannot be separated at a profit, Silver, however, is a better conductor of electricity than copper. and there- fore for commercial purposes the lake copper is in such demand that it brings a better price.—New York Press. Glory of the Mountains. No lowlander can appreciate the mountain appetite and the facility with which heavy food called “grub” is disposed of. Eating, walking, rest- ing, seem alike delightful, and one feels inclined to shout lustily on rising in the morning like a crowing cock— sleep and digestion as clear as the air.

Never was streain more fittingly named, for as far as I have traced it above and below our camp it is one continuous bouncing, dancing white bloom of cascades. And at the very last, unwearied, it finishes its wild course in a grand leap of 300 feet or more to the bottom of the main Yosemite canyon near the fall of Tam. arack creek a few miles below the foot of the valley.—From John Muir's “My First Summer In the Sierras.” The Looking Glass In Fiction. All nations have shown by their stories how the looking glass is re- garded as ministering to vanity. The ancient Greeks depicted Venus with a mirror and even described her cham- ber as lined all over with mirrors, so that whichever way her eyes turn- ed she could behold her beautiful self. But Minerva never used a mirror. | Pass to West Africa and we find a | native story which begins with a magic mirror that possessed the power of speech and always said. “Mistress there is none,” when its owner, a wom- an called Maria, asked it, “My mirror, is there any other beautiful woman like myself?’ But one day Maria's daughter entered the forbidden room where It was kept, asked a similar question and got a similar answer. A tale of maternal jealousy and venge- ance follows.—London Spectator. The Lamprey's Nest. The nest building efforts of the com- mon lamprey eel show a degree of cleverness that is very wonderful. When the nesting time comes the fish leave the coast water and make their way up river. There at a likely spot upon the bottom the two eels proceed to build a nest with stones for spawn- ing, the stones being brought in the creatures’ mouths and deposited in the form of a heap. When a large stone is wanted the fish combine and, grip- ping it with their mouths by suction, carry it together and deposit it upon the heap, which may attain a height of two or three feet.—London Tit-Bits. A Pool In Eggs. A company of barnstorming actors rushed into a railroad eating house The tragedian grabbed a dish contain- ing six hard boiled eggs and swept all the eggs on to a plate in front of him. “Hey, girl!" shouted the leading man. “Set up them eggs again.

Paul Lindau in “The Memories of My Life” relates that at the . | ance of his Countess Leah in Berlin the old Emperor William, who had been present at the play, sent for him to congratulate him upon his fine work and the favor it had won. “Only,” he added, as if casually and without the least emphasis, “it is a pity that the titled officers do not play a very brilliant part in it.” When the emperor had dismissed | Lindau, with a gracious nod, the man- | ager, De Hulsen, came to the author and said: | “I am sorry that I can no longer pro- | duce your piece. It promised to havea | long run.” “But why?" asked the astounded au- | thor. “The emperor paid me very flat- tering compliments and appeared to be | much pleased with the piece.” ! “Ah! But, my dear doctor,” replied the courtier, “his majesty never ex-' presses his censure more strongly.”— | Bookman. i” | The Old Charcoal Burner, i The charcoal burner may still be | found avithin thirty miles of London. | This writer knows a charcoal burner | who has carried on his ancient trade | for forty years in Surrey and Sussex. | You come suddenly upon the piled | dome of fine earth on heath or in | woodland, and near it is his neatly con. | structed hut of withies, fern and | heather, with its rough corner posts | and little door. There he lives during | the whole period of the ealeining proe- | ess, keeping a sharp lookout to see that inquisitive passersby do not push an inquiring stick into the mound, which might result in a sudden burst of flame and the ruin cf that particular lot of wood. This man is his own master. He knows his markets, and he makes a decent living—a curious, soli- tary life, but he knows all about the birds.—London Chronicle. Danced In a Coal Mine. Some years ngo a Newcastde (Eng- land) coal operator named Brandling gave a famous ball. The ballroom was in the coal mine, 1,100 feet below ground, in the shape of the letter L, the width being 15 feet, the height 48 feet and the length 300 feet. The floor was dried and flagged, seats provided and the whole place illuminated with wax candles. The company comprised all the miners and their families, the proprietors and agents and a number of guests from London. It required considerable courage for scme of the they all ventured. Dancing was from noon till 3 p. m., and all returned to carrying as a memento a piece of coal Preparing For the Future, “He drinks heavily.” “I know it.” “He gambles.” “I am going to marry him to reform him.” “My girl, listen to me.
