Bellefonte, Pa., October 30, 1914. The Story of Waitstill Baxter [Continued from page 6, Col. 4] bargain. The only points in this con- tract that the deacon really under- stood were that he was paying only $5 a month for a housekeeper to whom a judge had offered $12: that. as he had expected to pay at least $8. he conld get a boy for the remaining $3. and 80 be none the worse in pocket: also, that if he could keep his daughters from getting kis money. he didn't care a hang who had it. as he hated the! whole buman race with entire impar- tality. If Jane Tillman didn’t behave herself he had pleasing visions of con- verting most of his fortune into cash and having it dropped off the bridge | some dark night. when the doctor had given him up and proved to his satis: faction that death would occur in the near future. All this being harmoniously settled. the deacon drove away and caused the announcement of his immediate marriage to be posted directly below that of Waitstill and Ivory Boynton. A ‘spite match,” the community in general called the deacon’s marriage. and many a man and many a woman, too, regarding the amazing publishing notice in the frame up at the meeting house, felt that in Jane Tillman Dea- con Baxter had met his Waterloo.

If | the physician has been tempted to use a five dollar bill which some one has paid him unexpectedly on a round or if he has bought stamps with the mon- ey which some patient left at the office, then he should draw a check for the amount, cash it and pay the money ' into his bank. Thus, and thus only, can he make his banker his bookkeeper. “If the physician should die suddenly or wish to sell his practice, then, and then only. whether his other business books are kept well or not, the lawyer or the medical agency or the purchaser : who wades through his effects will re- | Joice to find one method of knowing gross receipts and getting some idea of the real intrinsic value of the business and will from the physician’s bank book alone tell the total cash receipts from the practice upon which to found the purchase price. . *At the end of every year the books should be balanced. and if the doctor cannot balance them himself or has not the time the comparatively small sum which a professional accountant will charge, say $5 or $10, will be well repaid.” DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.

She was pretty, and as she leaned against the counter in the marriage license bureau she carelessly stretched a forearm on the broad surface while she tapped the wood with her fingers. A one carat diamond flashed in a man- | her to attract attention, which appar- ently was the purpose sought by the attractive wearer. ; Enter a second young woman with her escort. She was not so pretty nor so richly attired. She also leaned against the counter, while her fiance, a large man and apparently entirely capable, filled out an application blank. | The second woman caught the sound of the tapping and turned to see the flash of the gem. ! The first young woman glanced at | the face of the last arrival, took a fleeting appraisement of garments and style and continued to tap. The second | young woman indolently raised her | arm, placed it on the counter and be- | gan tapping with her fingers. The first young woman turned in surprise. Then | she dropped her arm, her lips became | a straight line, and she walked to the | desk where her prospective husband was writing, The second young woman smiled and also let her arm fall to her side.

"He was much upset. He is Karl’s special servant and was told to look after you on purpose. You see, he did not understand.

They are also dressed by their servants. The driving of poor Johann from my | bedroom became a great joke in the | family. Prince Karl declared that he | had never dressed himself in his life. | “1 tried it only once,” said one of ! his brothers, an officer in the Imperial | guards. “when my servant was ill and | 1 had to go to a parade. 1 put all the buttons in the wrong buttonholes and | got confined to barracks for a week in i consequence.” i In the oid days the Austrian princes, counts and barons were sovereign lords on their own lands, which they held from the emperor in return for mili- tary service. Each of these great no- bles beld his own court, which was a reflection in miniature of the imperial court, and as it was considered ‘an honor by men of the highest birth to assist at the toilet of the monarch, so it was considered an honor by those of lesser degree to render similar personal service to the great noblé& The de- pendence of their desceBhaants upon their valets is only th survival of those feudal customs.

There Is Such a Thing as Being Too Deliberate In a Game. While carelessness is a bad feature for any golfer to allow to creep into bis game, it must not be confused with unnecessarily prolonged delibera- tion over shots. Toco much time in studying shots before playing them is. to my mind, worse than not enough. In other words, neither procrastination nor hurrying will bring satisfactory results. but as between the two undue d. liberation is worse because it is in the nature of’ an imposition upon other players. Golf has become so popular a game that the number of players has iocreased by leaps and bounds: hence a great many clubs have an ac- tive playing membership so lirge that it is a problem how to accommodate all who wish to play. especially on Saturdays and holidays. An unneces- sarily slow player can hold back a field and cause more fuming and hard feelings than almost any other factor in play. The same thing applies in open tournaments or championships. Admittedly there are some golfers who are so constituted that they have to go at their play deliberately to do well. but they ought to realize that fact. and. when they see that they are holding others back, courteously let those following *‘go- through.” A great many players who are ab- normally deliberate might find by ex- periment that they could play just as well. if not better. by speeding up a bit. When a golfer spends overmuch time in studying the line of his putt— | for example. first viewing it from one ' side of the hole and then from the ' other, only to go back and have an- | other look from the first side—he is | apt to see undulations or bumps which the ball's course if utterly disregarded. The imagination gets too much play and the mind has too much time for working up hesitancy and breeding lack of confidence. The best putters, then step up and hit the ball.—Francis Ouimet in St. Nicholas. Odd Contrasts In Climate. New York is usually thought of as being directly west from London. It is. however. despite its far more rigor- i ous climate. 900 miles nearer the equa- tor than is the British capital. The bleak coast of Labrador is directly west of London. The same line passes the southern part of Hudson bay and Lake Winnipeg. On the other side of i the continent it touches the southern of Alaska and continues through the center of the isthmus of Kamchatka and Siberia and Russia to { Homburg. Another illustration of the unexpect- i ed in contrasts is found in a compari- . extremity | son of St. John’s, Newfoundland, with : Paris. Paris has a winter of compara- | tive mildness, while St. John’s is a re- ; gion of bitter cold and fogs. with drift- ing icebergs along its coast. Yet St. { John's is 100 miles nearer the equator. srs wes Medical. Every Street in Bellefonte | HAS ITS SHARE OF THE PROOF THAT KIDNEY SUFFERERS SEEK. Backache? Kidneys weak?

They have barely vitality enough for themselves, and the claims of another life on the mother’s strength reduces them to a pitiable con- dition of weakness and misery. Pros- pective mothers will find in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription a “God send to women.” To quote the closing paragraph of a letter from Mrs. T. A. Ragan, of Morris, Watauga Co., N.C.: “I cannot tell half that Dr. Pierce's medicine has done for me. I am well | and hearty, can sleep well at night, and do a good day’s work without feeling tired. ‘Favorite Prescription’ will do all that is claimed for it—prevent mis- carriage and render childbirth easy.

Action Better Than Indecision. |, Sometimes we must simply do the thing we have to do and think about it afterward. Or it may be better not to think about it afterward. Action is the great solver of doubts, the great key to life’s problems. Too much thinking and debating and discussing \ only confuse the issues. How to make the most and best of life, how to preserve the health and increase mmm Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Pure Rich Blood MAY BE HAD BY TAKING OLD RELIABLE © HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA. Pure blood enables the stomach, liver and other digestive organs to do their work properly. Without it they are slug- gish, there is loss of appetite, sometimes faintness, a deranged state of the intes- tines, and, in general, all the symptoms of dyspepsia. Pure blood is required by every organ of the body for the proper performance of its functions. Hood’s Sarsaparilla surely makes pure blood, and this is why it is so very suc- cessful in the treatment of so many dis- eases and ailments. It acts directly on the blood, ridding it of scrofulous and other humors. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar com- bination of blood-purifying, nerve-toning strength-giving substances. There is no #‘just as good” medicine. Get Hood’s to- day and begin taking it at once. 59-41 DOCKASH “Quality Counts” Dockash base burner, guar- anteed the best, most power- ful, and most economical hard coal stoves made.
