A Beautiful Tribute to the Late
Rev. Hughes.
Mr. James R. Hughes, headmaster of
the Bellefonte Academy, recently re-
ceived from H. T. Wilson, of Logans-
port, Ind., the following letter of con-
dolence on the death of his father,
which he regards as one of the most
beautiful tributes that could be paid
to the life and work of that venerable
educator:
My dear Mr. Hughes:
In the Princeton Alumni Weekly a
few days back I note the obituary no-
tice of your good father’s death, Rev. |
James P. Hughes, Princeton, 1850.
In 1865 I began my Latin, algebra
and my life study under the guidance
of Mr. Hughes at our Logansport
Academy. We still have the buildings
here, now a residence. Judge Maurice
Winfield, who came with your father
from Edge Hill to Logansport, is still
here. He was Princeton, 18656. At
Princeton, where I went in the fall of
1870, graduating in 1874, I met J. W.
Gephart and Jos. Wood, the first in
1874, the latter 1876, who were Belle-
fonte students of Mr. Hughes, and
men well grounded in their prepara-
tion for college, and men of character.
Some years since—perhaps twenty
—Mr. Hughes visited Logansport
again and spent a day or two with |
me at our summer cottage at Maxin-
kuckee Lake. He was then quite ad-
vanced in years, but full of mental
vigor. I recall his reading to me and
commenting on the little read small-
er Epistle of the New Testament, II
Peter 1: “A servant of Jesus Christ
to them who have obtained like faith
with us through the righteousness of
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Whereby are given to us, exceeding
great and precious promises, that by
these ye might be made partakers of
the Divine Nature, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world—
giving all diligence, add to your faith
virtue, and to virtue, knowledge, an
to knowledge, temperance, and
temperance, patience, and to patience,
Godliness, and to Godliness, brotherly
kindness, and to brotherly kindness,
charity. For if these things be in you
and abound, they make you that ye
shall neither be barren nor unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.”
His comments on-these expressions
which we so often read without heed- |
ing the full meaning has. remained
with me. He seemed to teach with
every day’s utterance and to inspire
for good his hearers. He seemed to
me of the old Order of Masters like
Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, as Thomas
Hughes has told us of him, and as we
knew Dr. James Me. Cosh—“Jimmie”
to us of the seventies.
Rugby,” another chapter where Tom
Brown is told of Dr. Arnold’s death
and goes to the old school and rever-
ently stands at his grave, you will get
the thought which came to me when
I read of your good father’s death.
He was indeed not barren nor un-
fruitful, but faithful of good works of
the Lord inspired by the Master he
served and of whom Peter speaks: in |
his Epistle. I know: his spirit will
dwell in your Bellefonte school, and
in the hearts of your Alumni and give
a type for other lives.
To all your family I send my sym-
pathies and friendly greetings. You
cannot regret a life so well spent in
its well earned rest, but you will miss
the touch of the vanished hand and
the sound of the voice which is still.
Sincerely and respectfully yours
W. T. WILSON,
Logansport Academy 1870-
1874 Princeton.

Tragedy at Blue Ball.
The little village of Blue Ball, in
Clearfield county, not far from Phil-
ipsburg, was the scene of a domestic
tragedy on Monday night when Law-
rence McKendrick, an ex-soldier of
the world war, stabbed his eighteen
year old wife in the neck with a pen-
knife and then fearing he had inflict-
ed a fatal wound slashed his own
throat with a razor and bled to death.
Mr. McKendrick worked at the brick
works at Blue Ball and the young
couple quarrelled over the question of
going to housekeeping at that place,
he wishing to do so and his wife being
against the arrangement. Mrs. Mec-
Kendrick was taken to the Cottage
State hospital, Philipsburg, where it
was found that while the knife thrust
in her neck was quite deep it is not
necessarily fatal.
meee peste:
On Wednesday afternoon of
last week the dwelling house and sev-
eral outbuildings on the farm north of
Zion recently sold by Edward Strohm
to George McClellan, of Altoona, were
destroyed by fire. The house not only
contained the household furniture of
Mr. Strohm but most of that belong-
ing to the McClellan family, who were
just moving in while Mr. Strohm had
most of his furniture packed prepara-
tory to moving out. The fire origi-
nated up stairs but just how is un-
known. Mr. Strohm carried some in-
surance but the loss to Mr. McClellan
is almost complete and will reach two
thousand dollars.

eration for appendicitis, at the Belle-
fonte hospital, last Friday. He is now

tory. Even then it showed little prog-
ress until 1843 and at that time Mrs.

odist church when a girl and at that
time the place of worship was a little
log building used as a church.

The Bell telephone system, as you

Telephone and Telegraph company |
and its associated companies. The
Bell Telephone company of Pennsyl-
vania is one of these associated com-
panies. You are aware that on De-
cember 1, 1919, we were ordered by
the Public Service Commission of
Pennsylvania to return to the pre-war
schedule of rates.
We are therefore placed in the pre-
dicament of paying 1920 prices for
our labor and materials and receiving
as revenues rates which were based
on pre-war costs.
As a result, this company is not to-
day earning its customary dividend.
While the Bell system as a whole
Pennsylvania must face our own re-
sponsibilities. We must earn our own
dividends,—so that the urgently
needed new capital can be attracted
for extensions and improvements.
In April we will petition the Public
Service Commission of Pennsylvania
for approval.of a new. schedule of
rates adequate to: meet present. day
conditions. As this is a part of your
company, you should understand the
situation. We need your help in|
spreading abroad a knowledge of con-

Bellefonte High Wins Two More
Games.
The Bellefonte High school basket
ball team has practically cinched the
championship of the Mountain High
school basket ball league by winning
two more games, one from Mt. Union
last Friday night by the score of 32
to 30 and the other from Huntingdon
on Saturday night by the score of 28
to 26. So far they have won every
championship game played and have
only two more contests, Hollidays-
to be played on the armory floor.
The above victories make seventeen |
straight games for the Bellefonte
High, ten of them being Mountain
league games and all victories. To-
day the Bellefonte boys will go to
Hollidaysburg to play their next to
the last league game with the High
school team of that place and tomor-
row (Saturday) evening they will
play the Lock Haven Normal on the
armory floor. This will not be a
league game but the Bellefonte boys
will do their best to make it just as
interesting. Game will be called at
eight o’clock and a big crowd should
be present. , Admission only 25 cents. |,

Mrs. Corman had been suffering with |

it was impossible to discontinue the |
sale, especially when her condition |

Bellefonte and at an early date will |
open a store for the purpose of fur- |
nishing goods to the employees of the

latest book, “The Last Million,” in
connection with the capture of a vil
lage from the Germans. A detach-

oply to find that a tank had beaten
them by four minutes in the race to
the market square. The usual young
officer was in charge, and when the
major came along he handed the vil-
lage over to hjs superior officer, and
then shyly asked for something to
show, “just to show, sir, that we were
here first.” The major thought he
could fix that, and solemnly wrote out
a receipt: “Received from the officer

MANY KINDS, AND ALL GOOD
That Would Seem to Be the Verdict
of Humanity on the Great
Question of Pies.
They were talking about pies and
discussing which was the best, and,
what we gathered from the cheerful
controversy, all were the best.
The person who stood up for the
good old apple pie was just as eloquent
in his references to the peach or pump-
kin pie. In fact, each person would
hurry through the praise of one kind
of pie in order to champion another,
which convinced us that of all the
varieties of food in this world the pie
is the blessedest.
Sometimes you will find a man who
doesn’t eat pie, but watch him. Pie is
a remedy for many distempers. We
one time cured a ferocious sick head-
ache with a quarter of mince pie, and
that, too, on the advice of a physician.
One of the party never heard of a
mulberry ple, and what a barren life
she must have led. We are through
with the cherry pie era and with what
joy it has filled the world! We come
to the berry era, and first of all there
is the huckleberry pie, which berry
has rescued from sunshine and soil all
the grace of the earth. If a man does
not like a huckleberry ple, it is be-
cause the pie or himself has not been
well made. The black raspberry pie
stands away up on the snowy peaks of
perfection and for picnic purposes it is
unparalleled. When we eat raspberry
pie in the woods we feel that the
Dryads are feeding us from their lily
white hands.
There are other glorious pies, of
course, but we must have room to say
that the glory of a pie is in the grace
and charm of the cook. The pastry
depends upon her temper, and the pas-
try is three-fourths of a ple. If Wwe
‘were going to get married again, we
would arrange a pastry-making con-
test, and the damsel that made the
best pastry we would marry—if we
could —Ohio State Journal.
UNABLE TO ANALYZE DRUG
Intoxicating Principles of Powerful
Narcotic, “Cohoba,” Remain a
Mystery to Chemists.
When Columbus arrived at the is-
land of Haiti he and his followers
were interested to observe a curious
practice of the natives, who were ac-
customed on ceremonial occasions to
make use of a narcotic snuff produc-
tive of a sort of hypnotic state, with
vision supposed to be supernatural.
The tribal Wizards, or priests, while
under: the influence of the drug, were
accustomed to hold communication
with unseen powers, and their mut-
terings were construed as prophecies
and revelations of hidden things.
The snuff was called ‘“cohoba,” and,
in the form of a finé powder, was in-
haled through a forked wooden tube,
the forks being inserted in the nos-
trils and the lower end of the tube
buried in a little heap of the snuff,
which was held on a tray of carved
wood. Sometimes large snail shells
were used for snuff boxes.
The mimosa-like tree from which
the snuff is obtained is plentiful along
the banks of the Orincco and the
It grows in Haiti, Porto
Rico and other islands of the Antilles.’
The seeds yielded by its pods are
| dried, roasted and ground to powder,
! which is sometimes mixed with lime
from calcined snail shell.
Only recently has this tree been
identified by Dr. W. E. Safford of the
government plant bureau as the
source of the snuff, the origin.of which
has hitherto been, a puzzle. The
"chemical properties of the drug are still
unknown and so its intoxicating prin-
ciple remains a mystery.
The Skeleton at the Feast.
My brother’s wedding took place at
his bride’s home, which was next door
to us. A telegram came to our house
and the delivery boy was told my
brother was next door. And arriving
when we were at the dinner table, my
brother, thinking it was words of con-
gratulation, opened it and gave it to
the best man to read. He stood up and
read aloud: “Send money you owe
me, need it at once.” Loud laughter
was heard from the guests.—Exchange.

COHEN ® CO.,
We were more than pleased with the
response we've received from our last
week’s announcement. Our trade be-
lieves in us and in the statements we
make, They know fully that we
would not lend our name to anything
that wasn’t absolutely on the square.
That’s one reason why we are always
busy. We'll quit now talking about
ourselves and get down to brass tacks.
Housecleaning time will soon be
here and you will be hunting for new
things to fix up your home. Right
here is where we shine. First of all
we are ready to show you the greatest
line of curtain scrim that we’ve ever
had the pleasure of displaying at one
time. Scrims in plain white, ecru and
ivory with hemstitched edges that we
have at 25, 35, 39 and 50 cents per
yard. Plain marquisettes at 59 cents.
| You know how these goods wear; then
| we have beautiful scrim with colored
borders, flowered centers, and self de-
signs woven right with the materials.
And then again you can see a very
| handsome blue-bird effect, which can
! be used as a drapery as well as a cur-
tain; in fact an assortment of these
‘goods is really a pleasure to look at.
Now for the prices on these goods; it
5 the nicest thing about them. They
start at 39 cents and end at 98 cents a
i yard. When you figure a little you'll
find that it’s a great deal cheaper than
buying ready-made curtains.
Then again we're ready for you on
all kinds of other necessaries such as
| linoleum, curtain rods, window shades,
rugs, dressers, buffets, tables, chairs,
aluminum ware, granite and enamel
ware, furniture polish, O’cedar mops,
oils, and a great many other articles
which we can’t think of just now.
By the way, did you get a pair of
those $9.50 ladies field mouse color
shoes at $7.65? This is a real bar-
gain; not many pairs left now but we
may still be able to fit you. :
How about some ladies’ all silk
stockings at $1.98 a pair? Can you
beat this one? h :
Boys’ wash suits, new Spring goods,
sizes 2} to 8 years, begin at $1.50 and
up to $4.00.
Lovely, dress gingham at 45 cents a
yard.
Clarks O. N. T. Crochet thread, 2
balls 25 cents.
Ladies’ silk gloves at $1.00 a pair,
in white, gray, black and taupe col-
ors, all sizes 6 to 8.
Sheets, pillow tubing, pillow cases,
pillows, comforts, matresses, all quot-
ed at such low prices that you would
hardly expect to buy them for, in
these kind of times.
And besides you can make 5 per
cent. extra if you will take the time to
cut this “ad” out, and present it to
the clerk when making your purchas-
es. This discount is allowed in every
one of our departments except the
grocery and Victrola department.
Yours for more business, .
