Bomsifies _ Bellefonte. Pa., March 6, 1914. A PERILOUS CROSSING. They Got Safely Over and Then Came a Curious Climax. Mrs. Exe stood on a crowded corner when the traffic was at its height, star- ing at the thick. tangled come and go of motorcars and drays and cabs, and not daring to venture in among the dangers of that moving mass. “May I cross the street with you, madam?” She turned and saw an elderly stranger with lifted hat and gallant smile. “Oh, thank you!” said Mrs. Exe. And the stranger grasped her arm with a firm grip, and together they plunged boldly into the wild crush of vehicles. In and out. right and left. up and down, they zigzagged. at imminent peril of life and limb. Pedestrians on the sidewalk stopped and looked at them. Drivers and chauffeurs shouted and swore at them. It was plain to all that they were in unusual danger. The escort of Mrs. Exe. still wearing . his gallant smile, still grasping her arm firmly, seemed to make no effort to avoid the oncoming vehicles. He dart- ed erratically and yet calmly this way and that. At last by a miracle the other side was reached. Mrs. Exe then jerked her arm away from her escort’s grasp. and, with a look of scorn. she said: “It’s no thanks to you that we were not both killed. Why, the way you positively courted danger one would think you were blind!” “Madam, I am blind,” he replied. “That's why 1 asked if 1 could cross with you.”—New York Tribune. ! TALE OF A LOST MINE. Somewhat Cloudy as to Source and Its Veracity. This touching tale, for the veracity | of which we do not vouch, comes from a source that we do not know. says the Engineering and Mining Journal: “About 1660 a Spaniard in Peru | named Jose Salcedo fell in love with | an Indian girl. He proceeded to do a | thing almost unheard of in those times | —he married her. Out of gratitude her | mother revealed to him a vein of silver | of unexampled richness. He worked it and drew from it considerable wealth—too much for his happiness, for his opulence excited the cupidity of the viceroy. Count Lemos, who had him charged with high treason. the penalty of which was death and the confiscation of all worldly goods. “It was in vain that Salcedo demand- ed permission to appeal to Madrid and offered to pay two ingots of silver daily during the fifteen months that must elapse before a reply was return- ed. The count refused and hanged him in 1669. But the butcher got small good out of it. The Indians, intent on avenging their friend. destroyed the works of the mine, filled it with water and concealed the entrance so cleverly that it could never be discovered. Nei- ther promises nor threats could extract their secret. which remains so to this very day.” This story is more romantic than those of the Gunsight, Pegleg and sev- eral other “lost mines” of the Ameri- can desert. | It Is Its Getting Even With the Parson. Parson Wheeler was invited out one afternoon for a motorcar ride with one of his friends. The minister. who enjoyed all outdoor sports, was very enthusiastic over metoring, so he was allowed to drive the car. While speed- ing along he was stopped by a con- stable and ordered to the station house. “Well,” said the captain, after listen- ing to their story. ‘you say you were going at only fifteen miles an hour, but the constable declares you were trav- eling at forty. Now. I don’t like to doubt the word of either of you. Can you think why he insists you were traveling at that rate of speed? Is there any grudge he owes you?" *“No,” said the clergyman thought- fully. “No, I can’t think of anything— unless it is that 1 married him four years ago.” —Lippincott’s. Alternatives, A stalwart young German applied for a position on a farm. As he walk- ed into the barn he addressed the farmer. “Hey, mister, will you job me?” “Will 1 what?" “Will you job me? yet.” “Oh, I see: you want a job," Make me work said the farmer. ‘Well, how much do you want a month?" “I tell you. If you eat me on der farm I come for fife dollars, but for twenty-fife dollars 1 eat myself at Sehaides."

His Early Love, Who Who Jilted Him, and Her Pathetic End. ." CANING THE CULPRIT. | The story of how Charles Dickens was jilted is particularly interesting. When he was eighteen Dickens be- came acquainted with the three daugh- ters of George Beadnell, a Lombard street banker. With one of them. Maria (the original of Dora in “David Copperfield”). who was a year his senior, he immediately fell in love, and Maria flirted with him very desperate- ly. But the 1 ve making of the future novelist was not treated very serious- ly, for he was not considered by any means an eligible party, and even Ma- ria herself adopted an attitude of amused tolerance. For three years the affair went on, and then Dickens realized that his case was hopeless. He pleaded in vain with the girl, whose caprices madden- ed and gladdened him alternately, for, as a matter of fact. Maria Beadnell was a willful coquette. The end of it all was a reply that held out no hope, and so the parting came. For twenty years they saw no more of one an- other. Ultimately Maria Beadnell was mar- ried to Henry Louis Winter, and when Dickens met her again time had wrought sad havoc on his youthful ideal. Mrs. Winter wrote to her old lover, but Dickens dia not care to re- ‘new a correspondence with his old sweetheart. Then Mr. Winter failed. and the chagrined wife appealed to the lover of her girlhood for help, but without avail, and the romance ended long before the death of Dickens in 1870.—Exchange.

Muscular Christianity found an ex- ponent in the curate of an English dio- cese of whom James Bryce tells in his | “Studies In Contemporary Biography.” | He ‘had once, under the greatest prov- . ocation, knocked down a person who had insulted him, and the bishop wrote him a letter of reproof. pointing out. among other things, that, exposed as the Church of England was to much criticism on all hands, her ministers ought to be very careful in their de- meanor. ing, ‘I must regret that, being grossly The offender replied by say- | insulted and forgetting in the heat of | the moment the critical position of the Church of England. 1 did knock the man down.’" Fraser of Manchester — retaliated by asking the curate to dinner. Indian Caricature. Humor is more or less a secular en- joyment, and its suggestion in pictorial art therefore necessarily has a secular significance. And as the chief motive of Indian art was religious expression. secularism in the form of caricature was never very much emphasized. But this aspect. though not very frequently represented, was not entirely absent in Indian art. Even the oldest records of Indian painting bear evidence to the fact that the sense of ridicule or satire was not altogether divorced from the canons of art of those times.—Calcutta Modern Review. Lille and Its Pictures. Lille, according to a writer in the London Academy. is one of the few uninteresting towns of France. He “obstinate in the belief that no town in France with over 200.- 000 inhabitants could be entirely with- out interest.” but finally ‘fled to the , station, defeated. and took train for i Laon.” In justice. however. the critic makes the considerable admission that “Lille has perhaps the finest collection of pictures in France outside Paris.” Why She Held ¢ on to It.

In a London police court recently a teacher in a public school was prose- | cuted for assaulting a pupil by caning him. The magistrate decided that he. had not used undue violence and there- | fore discharged the master. In this case the father of the boy who had been caned took him to a physician on the evening of the day of his castigation and this doctor found | about fifteen wheals on the lad’s back. This was evidence of severe punish- ment, but the magistrate considered it ! was not too severe for the offense | which had caused it. and said that parents had formed an exaggerated opinion of the amount of force that had been used. { Commenting on this the London Lan- | cet says: “A blow from a cane causes at the time an appreciable amount of pain (which, by the way. is what it is in-| tended to do). but it leaves behind al mark quite out of proportion in its | formidable character to the amount of i suffering which it causes after the first | sting has been endured. If any one | doubts this. having perhaps avoided the opportunity to observe it in the course of an exemplary boyhood, the experiment is easily made. Any small boy will be willing to do his share by inflicting upon the seeker after truth a sharp cut or two, the results of which will no doubt be distinctly felt for a time, but only for about an hour, while there will be visible on the well protected and tender skin of the back for some days wheals which would In other words. a boy’s back after a HARDY TUSCAN WOMEN. One Vigorous Old Dame Who Acted as a Mountain Guide. Illustrative of the hardiness of wo-! — men in Tuscany. Sir Francis Vane re- | lates in “Walks and People In Tus- cany” the experiences of two Eng- lishmen who were traveling in Italy and who appealed to a village innkeep- er for a trustworthy guide to conduct them over the pass between the moun- tains of Rondinajo and Tre Potenze. To their surprise an old woman ap- peared and announced that she had come to make arrangements for the journey. They concluded she must be the mother of their guide. “What was our amazement to learn that this elderly dame was our destin- ed leader, and indeed she was got up for the fray in long boots and short skirts. “On we tramped. she always ahead, walking with a fine military swing which a lifeguardsman might have en- not be used by vehicles. Our guide| led us up the steep way which follows a small and rushing stream issuing from out the side of Rondinajo, and up | it we ascended for an hour or more | until the pass was reached. “We here had the merciful intention of sending the old woman back, an! intention. however, she very strongly opposed. It was only by allowing her to come some few miles farther on that we could induce her to leave us before she had seen us safely to the end of the journey.” Father od His Daughters. The habits of a lifetime which began a generation or more ago. the habit of being a source of maintenance and the need of keeping in hand the means of maintenance, the habit of power and | of keeping hold of the source of power, may make a man less than fair per- | haps in dividing his acquisitions with | his wife, but when it comes to the daughters whom he is going to leave in the world when he quits it he is all for securing to them as far as he cap a full share of all that is worth hav- ing. Hardly can sex selfishness squeeze in between him and his girls. As be- tween them and all males, he is for them. He wants them to lose no good thing that may lawfully be coming to them. He wants no man to bully them, no man to impose upon their generosi- ty, no man to bring them to want, to sorrow or a hungry heart.—Edward S. Martin in Atlantic. A Maker of Cripples. Dr. Charlton Wallace once investi- gated with great care 400 cases of hip joint disease—tuberculosis of the hip. He found that of this number 70 per cent came of tuberculous families or had lived in houses where there had been known cases of active tubercu- losis within a year. In both cases the explanation was the same—exposure to infection. When the tubercle germ cannot murder a victim it does its best to cripple him. The only safeguard is to make sure personally that your house does not harbor this greatest of | human enemies.—Chicago Journal. | Inappreciative Man. “You say you occasionally smoke one of your wife's birthday cigars?” “Yes; 1 dug ’em up the other day. and they are a great help in my pres- ent situation.” “What is that?” “] am trying to quit smoking for good.”—Albany Knickerbocker Press.
