GRAY MEEK, = =» EDITOR CE ———— —— — — —— — DoE KILLED IN MISTAKE FOR BucCK.— On Tuesday morning the Decker hunting party of Potter township, located in Deck- er valley in the Seven mountains, about three miles southeast of Potters Mills, chased up a buck and a doe. They shot the buck and the animal fell dead in its tracks. The doe ran on and soon after- wards members of the Decker party heard a shot in the directicn in which the doe ran. They took their dead buck to camp then two of the men started on the trail of the doe to investigate. They did not go a mile until they came upon the dead doe lying on the ground. Some hunter had shot the deer and when he discovered it was a doe left it lie and hurriedly left that locality. A party of Somerset county hunters are encamped in that vicinity and whether it was one of them or sume other person who shot the deer is not known. The men took the deer in charge and sent a courier to Potters Mills to notify sheriff A. B. Lee. The latter with dis- trict attorney D. Paul Fortney went over to Decker valley in an automobile on Tuesday night, secured the dead deer, brought it to Bellefonte. On Wednesday morning the sheriff skinned and dressed the carcass, cut it up and sent it out to the Bellefonte hospital. The deer was in fine condition and weighed close to one hundred pounds. In addition to the deer killed by the Decker party as mentioned above word has been received that the Gentzel par- ty, hunting in the Green woods, have at least one buck hanging up, shot by Clar- ence Rhoads. Inasmuch as most of the | hunting camps are located in’ the moun- tains, too far for communication, it is impossible to give any report of the num- ber of deer killed so far, but inasmuch as there has been a tracking snow in the ' evening. He had been out at the barn | feeding the stock, etc., and when he re- | turned to the house complained of not feeling well. A physician was summon- ed but when he arrived Mr. Everhart was dead. Heart disease was evidently the cause. Deceased was a son of Benjamin and Martha Everhart and was born on the farm on which he lived all his life and where he died, sixty-seven years ago. Forty years agohe was united in mar- riage to Miss Elizabeth Foster, a daugh- ter of the late William Foster, of State College, who died a week later while away on their wedding trip. Mr. Ever- ful to the ideal of his early manhood. As a farmer he was very successful and his farm was always regarded as a model in that community. He was a member of the Grange and of the Presbyterian but never a seeker after politcal prefer- ment. Of his father’s large family of children only two brothers survive the deceased, namely: Alexander, of Altcona, and James, on the old homestead. Rev. W. K. Harnish will officiate at the funeral which will be held tomorrow (Saturday) morning, burial to be made in the Branch cemetery. | | HewITT.—Mrs. Margaret A. Hewitt, wife of Angus Hewitt, was overcome by gas at her home in East End, Pittsburgh, about two o'clock on Monday morning, and being subject to a weak heart died of asphyxiation.

CLEARFIELD CAPITALISTS PURCHASE PLANT OF BELLEFONTE ELECTRIC CoM- PANY.—On Friday of last week the deal was closed whereby the plant of the | Beilefonte Electric company in this place | passed ito possession of the Clearfield capitaliss who have secured a charter | for the Moshannon Electric company, | which was recently granted a franchise | in Bellefonte borough, as well as charters | for a number of other companies. The | gentlemen are Asbury W. J) W.; | Wrigley and A. J. Musser, of Clearfield, | and Senator Frank Fisher, of Indiana. ! The price paid for the Bellefonte plant was approximately $111,000. In the spring of 1912 the above gentle- | men were granted charters for the Ben. ner Electric company, the College Town- ship Electric company, the Centre Hall | Electric company, the Potter Electric company, the Unionville Electric com- ' pany, the Eagle Electric company to | operate in Union township; the Miles- | burg Electric company, the Boggs Elec- | tric company, the Howard Electric com- | pany and the Spring Electric company, | and a few months ago they were granted | a charter for the Moshannon Electric company to operate in Bellefonte. Less | than a year ago the same gentlemen pur- chased the plant of the State College Light and Power company and it is their intention to merge all the above com- of the company are as follows: Asbury | W. Lee, president; A. J. Musser, secre- tary; J. W. Wrigley, treasurer. It is the purpose of the company to build 2 mammoth electric plant on the Black Moshannon, where they have a good coal mine, and transmit the elec- tricity for lighting and power uses by cable across the mountain to Unionville Dr. Francis H. Green, of the West Ches- ter Normal, spoke on “Interrogations.” Every teacher should make it a point to | know all the whys and wherefores of the profession and endeavor to work up to the highest standard possible, and then success will follow. The Gamble Con- cert company gave a delightful musical entertainment on Monday evening. +« Tuesday morning's session Prof. Ellis talked on “Pestalozzian,” which is a system of elementary training combining manual training with mental work. Dean Arthur B. Holmes, of State College, gave his first talk on the subject “Back- ward Child.” The session was closed by Dr. Green on a talk on the right kind of | books to read. At Tuesday afternoon's session Dr. Holmes continued his talk on the same subject as in the morning, ex- plaining the many conditions which might surround a child to make him backward in his studies. He may be bright mentally but retarded in his work because of conditions at home, an uncon- genial seatmate at school or lack of con- fidence, either in himself or the teacher. And it is the teacher's duty to endeavor to find the cause and have it removed, if possible. Dr. Green also continued his discourse on the kind of books to read. | Ralph Parlette’s lecture on “The Univer- sity of Hard Knocks” on Tuesday even- ing was interesting as well as instruc- tive. Wednesday morning Prof. Ellis spoke about Horace Mann, and his ideas and | doctrines as to how school work should | State before. The soloists were not us et be conducted.

At 11.00 o'clock the pastor will preach on “The Young Disciple,” and persons | will be received as members of the, church. A very profitable meeting for ! men, held last Sunday afternoon amid | the rain, led to the announcement of | another meeting of the same kind at 3.00 o'clock next Sunday afternoon. All men | are earnestly invited to be present at that time. At the evening preaching hour the subject of the sermon will be “The Temperance Issue in Bellefonte.” The world’s temperance Sunday was observed last Sabbath by all Bible schools using the International Scripture lessons. A safeguard temperance meeting in the court house had been proposed for the afternoon. Missioner Crittenden was ex- | pected to be present, but being providen- | tially prevented, this rally for the Safe- guard boys of Bellefonte is postponed un- til some future Sabbath. THE PENN STATE QUARTET.—The ap- | pearance of the Penn State quartet be- fore institute Wednesday evening was the hit of the amusement features for teachers’ week. The auditorium of the court house was packed, the audience so appreciative and the college boys so re- sponsive that the program was made a continuous performance for two hours. Encores were so many that they ran | up to the time of the regular numbers so that there was no rest for the perform. ers and not a dull moment for the au- dience.

Willis Rishel, in little Sugar valley, got a two hundred pound bear on Tuesday. The Mountaineer hunting club of Philipsburg, got a five pronged buck on Monday at Six Mile Run which it is claimed will weigh over two hundred pounds. On Tuesday William Cartwright, of Sandy Ridge, went up on the mountain alone and shot a four pronged buck. —— A ———— PENNSYLVANIA DAY AT StaTE CoOL. LEGE.—Pennsylvania Day at State Col- lege has grown to be one of considerable importance, socially and otherwise, and last Friday was no exception to the rule. In fact the attendance was probably larger than in any former year. The ex- ercises opened in the morning with a re- view of the battalion of college cadets, thirteen hundred strong, by Gen. A. J. Logan, of Pittsburgh, which was followed with a concert by the cadet military band. At a meeting held in the auditorium Mirza Ali Kuli Kahn, the Persian Minis- ter to the United States, was the princi- pal speaker, and his address, delivered in pure English, is said by many to have been one of the best ever delivered at the College. Other speeches were made by Governor John K. Tener, General A. J. Logan, Hon. George B. Alter, speaker of the House of Representatives, and Dr. Sparks. The big attraction in the afternoon was the State—Notre Dame football game. It was witnessed by the largest crowd ever seen on Beaver field, and though State put up a game fight she was defeated by the score of 14 to 7. An agricultural fair on old Beaver field was an all day attraction and proved an in. teresting spot for the hundreds present. In the evening the Senior assembly was held in the armory. per bags will be distributed on Monday, November 24th, and wagons will call for your donation on morning. The needs of the hospital are many and everybody is asked to give as liberally as possible. ~—If you want to get results, adver- tise in the WATCHMAN.

A ToucH oF WINTER.—Following the hard rain of Saturday afternoon, Satur- day night and Sunday Old Boreas came out of the North and blew his breath across this section of the country with the result that the temperature took a suddendrop and freezing weather was the result. About two inches of snow fell Sunday night and Monday was a day of snow squalls from morning until night. But warmer weather is promised for the last of the week, so don’t think that winter is here to stay, notwithstanding the fact that weather prognosticators predict a long, hard winter. BRESSLER—SHUNK. — Mr. Harry L. Bressler and Miss Verna V. Shunk, both of Spring Mills, Pa., were united in mar- riage November 9th, 1913, at the United Evangelical parsonage in Millheim, by Rev.

He is better now and returned to his iob early Monday | morning. David Porter Henderson and son Charles were here Saturday in quest of stock and fresh cows. Mr. Henderson is a veteran of the Civil war and served in the 125th regiment. At the public sale of M. M. Koch on last Friday everything brought good prices. Horses sold at $225, cows $70, young cattle as high as §50. The sale totaled up $2,150. Saturday while Mrs. Adda Campbell and baby | boy and Miss Bertha were out for a drive they were run into by an auto at a sharp turn in the road near Meeks church, throwing the occupants out. It wasa bad mixup, but very fortunately no one was seriously injured. Frank Mattern, of Warriorsmark, was in Juck the first day's hunt. He with a chum came over in his auto to the base of old Tussey near the old Ewing road. In a very short time a four prong. ed buck was brought down by Frank. The ani- mal was quickly loaded on the machine and the party were back home for dinner. The deer weighed 150 pounds.

Many of them have heard Dr. Bible to enjoy his humor and wisdom, but in Miss Dorothy, violinist, we think those who go will have the pleasure of hearing a young artist who is destined to a brilliant career in her profession.

No Wonder She Likes Aunt Mary. The small daughter in a family where there are a number of brothers and sisters went ou u visit to an aunt where there are no children. She was quite carried off her feet by the at- tention which she received, and when her mother arrived to tuke her home she was very unwilling to go. “Why do you want to stay with Aunt Mary?" inquired the mother. “She curls my hair three times a day.” replied the child, “and she dresses me to beat the band!"—Kansas City Star. How He Escaped. “So you've never been spanked, lit tle boy?” “Naw. Never.” “Isn't that nice? Then you've never given your father and mother cause for annoyance?’ “I've made 'em mad often enough, I guess.” “And they've never whipped you for it?” “Naw. You see, whenever paw starts in to spank me maw gets mad, an’ whenever maw threatens to spank me John J.

Dogs and Jokes. Animals present their own aspects of humor, says Leonard Larkin in the London Strand, and the evidence is fully sufficient that some of them have a sense of humor of their own. A Jackdaw certainly has, and it is a less malicious sort than that quite as cer tainly possessed by his cousin, the magpie and the raven; it is more hu- man, in a word. The dog's sense of humor seems to grow Dlunted after puppyhood, or, rather, it changes, be- ing overlaid by.a horror of becoming ridiculous. Nothing In creation can stand a joke against itself so badly as a dog; nothing is so wretched as a dog * who thinks he is being laughed at.
