A number of our citizens prevailed upon ex-county commissioner Harry Zimmerman to accept the appointment of justice of the peace to succeed Jasper Brooks. Harry emphatically declined, but assigned no reason for not accepting the proferred honor. The people took it for granted that Harry thought it looked too much like a case of reduction de- scending. The following letter was received by one of the foreign employees of the Whiterock Lime works, a few weeks ago. : OH10, AKRON, . - March de twiced.

Sheesley is around again after having been laid up for some time with the grip. James Smith moved from this place onto the farm recently vacated by Stewart Orndorf. James ought to make a good farmer. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haines and three children, of Scotland, S. D., are visiting Mrs. Haines’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Grenoble. Rev. E. L.

Floyd Sheesley and Harry Haines were at Millheim on Monday assisting the Stamm family in their preparations to move to Union county. A large wild cat visited the Isaiah Boob chicken house one night last week, and though it did not do much damage Prof. C. B. Musser kept the Woodward school open last Saturday in order to make up several days the school was closed on account of his recent illness. LITTLE BIRD BLUE. Little Bird Blue, come sing your song; The cold winter weather has lasted so long. We want to roll hoops, for we're tired of sleds, We're tired of snow banks as high as our heads; Now we're watching for you, Little Bird Blue. Soon as you sing, then the springtime will come, The robins will call and the honey hum, And thedear little pussies, so cuhning and gray, ‘Who sit in the willow trees over the way; So hurry, please do, Little Bird Blue! We're longing to hunt in the woods, for we know Just where the spring beauties and liverwort grow; We're sure they will peep when they hear your first song, But why are you keeping us waiting so long. All waiting for you, Little Bird Blue? —Youth’s Companion. Waiting. From the Hartford Times. “We must stand by the President,’’— ex-President William H. Taft.

POETRY War Seems to Have Stimulated the Muse of the Men Who Are Do- ing the Fighting. After all the unpleasant talk about night clubs it is refreshing to know that the sign of the Flambeau and Stars in Devonshire street, Blooms- bury, is favored by soldiers who have run home from the trenches for a few hours. For that is the poetry book shop—and poetry now is sup- posed to be mere dunnage. But tha. is by no means the case. There is a demand for neat little book: to fit the tunic pocket. It can- not be said any poet is im more de- mand than another. What is wanted is a portable volume of thc authentic voice, explains Mr. Harold Munroe. To see several soldiers in their Sam Brownes, standing in a dim light be- fore the crowded shelves in the shop where not a single popular novel can be found, even by accident, choosing their wartime poetry, is proo: enough that this is no ordinary war. But the poets themselves show that. Not a few of those whosc volumes ap- pear on the shelves are in the army or navy, and some already have died on service. War seems to be even a cause of poetry, for there ic a colored broadside, ‘Ballad of the Gloster and the Goeben,” .by Maurice Hewleit, “Singsongs of the War,” by thc same author, “The King’s Highway” (an- other broad sheet), by Henry Newbolt, “Antwerp,” by Ferd Madox Hueffer, one of the finest tributes to Belgium yet written, “Soliloquies of a Sub- altern” (war poems written in the trenches), and “Battle Songs for the Irish,” in fact poetry does not seem te be at all hit by the war, but rather to be “doing ite bit.”—London Daily Mail. LAND IS TO BE RECLAIMED System of Irrigation Will Restore Fer- tility to the Valley of the Euphrates. For several years before the war began the Turkish government was building irrigation dams across the Euphrates, reopening the old Babylo- ,hian canals which had long been filled with sand, and building new canals to reclaim the country. When the war broke out work upon this great irrigation project ceased. After the war it will doubtless be resumed, and one may easily imagine the changes which will then take place. All of that wonderfully fertile valley will be reclaimed. The wide plains, where now the herds of the Bedouin find scant pasturage, will be dotted with date groves and grain fields, and mil- lions of people will find homes where now but few can gain a livelihood. Again Bagdad, the city of the caliphs, will be as glorious as when the fa- mous Haroun-al-Raschid used to wan- der in disguise about the streets, and when Sinbad the Sailor made it his home. The buried cities will be un- covered, revealing the treasures long hidden among the ruins. The history of modern Egypt will be repeated in Babylonia. The desert and the swamps will again become a veritable Garden of Eden as in the ancient days.—Christian Herald. Heroism at Home. The foreign war absorbs public at- tention—absorbs it so fully that brave deeds of personal heroism here at home pass by and get almost no no- tice at all. However, once in a while something turns up so heroic. that there is no ignoring it. Read the fol- lowing from the Palm Beach special dispatch in Monday's New York pa- pers: “Mr. was sitting down to a dinner, of which he was host, at the Beach club last night, when he got a telegram, announcing his father’s death. He arose without a word, sent back an explanation he was ill, and the dinner continued.” Wasn't that splendid? Just suppose the reporter had missed it and that such display of nerve, of courtesy, of inheritance, had missed the public eye, or gven that the guests had been told to disperse and buy their own dinners. Perish the base thought.— Hartford Courant. Team Went On With Driver Dead. The story of how a couple of horses, drawing a load of timber, traveled from Blackfriars Wharf to Mile End with the dead driver sitting in his seat holding the reins, was told at the Poplar (Eng.) coroner's court recent- erm m—— Medical. Deeds, Not Words BELLEFONTE PEOPLE HAVY ABSO- LUTE PROOF OF DEEDS AT HOME. It’s not words but deeds that prove true merit. The deeds of Doan’s Kidney Pills. For Bellefonte kidney sufferers, Have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Belle- fonte people. Mrs. John Mignot, E. High St., Bellefonte, says: “I suffered from a dull ache across the small of my back for several weeks. At times when I bent over or lifted, a sharp pain shot through my back. I had heard of Dean's Kidney Pills and I knew that they were good, so I be- gan taking them, procuring my sup- ply at Parrish’s Drug Store. They cured me.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Mignot had. Foster-Mil- burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 61-12 IN THE TRENCHES ly, when an inquest was held on the driver. The dead man’s companion said that deceased was all right when they left the wharf. Witness was in front with another pair-horse van, and the horses which were in charge of the deceased followed through the city without mishap. The medical evi- dence showed that deceased's heart was of the remarkable weight of 36 ounces, and in it there was a rupture one and a half inches long. “Death from natural causes” was the verdict returned. Breaks Cork Leg, He Sues. The fracture of an artificial leg is made the basis for a $200 claim, of which notice was filed with the city council by Frank L.

ROYAL VISIT WORKED WONDER Wounded Italian Officer Recovered Speech in His Surprise at Seeing King Beside Him. The king of Italy has been respon- sible for one of the most extraordi- nary occurrences of the war. His majesty has been constant in his vis- its to the wounded soldiers, and one day he arrived quite unexpectedly at a certain field hospital. Among the patients there was a young lieutenant who had been strick- en quite dumb by the bursting of an ‘Austrian shell. The poor fellow was lying in bed feeling very miserable, when, all of a sudden, he glanced up and found the king standing by his side. In a moment he stared up in amaze- ment at the unexpected honor, and shouted at the top of his voice: “His majesty the king!” and burst into a flood of tears. The emotional shock, coming as it did, so unexpectedly, had completely restored his power of speech, and ‘even the king himself was overcome by emotion at this extraordinary mir- acle.—Exchange. Medical. Clean the Blood The Spring is the time of year we should put our house in order. Were run down after a hard winter—after grippe, colds, catarrh. It’s time to tak» Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, purely vegetable and free from alcohol or narcotics. It will search out impure and poisonous matter and drive it from the system.

This extract is taken from a letter from a private in an English regi- ment at the front: “I woke up this morning with “The Tales of Hoffmann’ coming from outside—one of our chaps has still stuck to his violin, though heaven knows how. There he was standing in the open, playing as coolly as at home, amid the shriek of shells overhead.” Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Loss of Appetite MOST SUCCESSFULLY TREATED BY TAKING HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA. Loss of appetite is accompanied by loss of vitality, which is serious. It is common in the spring because at this time the blood is impure and im- poverished and fails to give the digestive organs what is absolutely necessary for the proper performance of their func- tions. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the old reliable all-the-year-round medicine, is especially useful in the spring. Get it from your druggist today. By purifying and en- riching the blood and giving vitality, vigor and tone, it is wonderfully suc- cessful in the treatment of loss of ap- petite and the other ailments prevalent at this time. It is not simply a spring medicine—it is'much more than that— but it is the best spring medicine. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the rich red blood the digestive organs need. 61-12 Flour and Feed.
