The automobiles of Ed. Kocher and
Cloyd Ewing met in a collision on the
state road near the Ingram school
house, last Thursday, both cars being
badly damaged. None of the occu-
pants, however, were seriously hurt.
A good sized crowd attended the D.
J. Johnson sale at Pine Hall last Sat-

sic and the refreshments were abun-
dant and delicious.

Mordecai Dannley departed on his
homeward trip to Medina, Ohio, on
Friday, reaching there in time to eat
his Thanksgiving dinner at the home
of his brother, John Dennis Dannley.
Rev. Harry D. Fleming, of Grays-
ville, very ably filled the pulpit in the
Presbyterian church here on Monday
evening, assisting Rev. Kirkpatrick in
his two week’s evangelistic services.
Rev. Curry, of Mount Union, preach-
ed every evening last week. The serv-
ices are largely atended.
Last Thursday 'Clyde Rider, of
Gatesburg, drove to Stormstown and
tied his horses to a hitching post in
front of a store. The animals became
frightened, broke loose and started
homewards at breakneck speed. They
had not gone far until one of the
horses fell over the bank at a culvert
and broke its neck. The other one
was so badly hurtit died the same
night. As Mr. Rider is only a begin-
ner on the farm he feels his loss very
much.
Last Friday evening the congrega-
tion of the Graysville Presbyterian
church sprang a real surprise on their
pastor, Rev. Harry Fleming, by ten-
dering him a formal reception at the
church. Rev. Butt, of Bellwood, de-
livered the address of welcome which
drew forth a warm response from the
pastor. Miss Conrad, of State Col-
lege, gave several recitations while
Mrs. Helen Peterson, of Graysville,
assisted materially in the program.
A choir from Graysville and Bailey-
vile furnished music. The Ladies Aid
society served a delicious repast. Rev.
Fleming has been on the charge since
the first of September, being the first
regular pastor since the retirement of
Rev. R. M. Campbell.
The mountains are covered with a
tracking snow and our hunters are
hoping it will lay for the opening of
the deer hunting season. The Wood-
row Wilson crowd will go to their co- |
sy camp on Roaring Run; the Bailey-
ville Juniors to the old McCormick
place; Prof. S. C. Miller and two com-
panions from West Chester, will join
’Squire D. W. Miller near old Monroe
furnace; the Fleetfoot club will go to
Shingletown gap, and the State Col-
lege rod and gun club are aiready in
camp in Treaster’s gap; the Homan
club, of Pine Hall, at the old Gum
Springs, east of Shingletown; the
State College hunters, below Colyer;
the Pine Grove rod and gun club in
their quarters on the furnace road;
the Shoemaker crowd on Stone moun-
tain; the Rossman-Sunday crowd in
Sholl’s gap; the Indiana hunters at
Monroe Furnace, and the Indiana gun
club at the old Lightner place; the
Modocks will ge to their old camp at
the Ross place on Stone creek, while
an army of day hunters will throng,
both Tussey mountain and the Bar- |
rens.
SMULLTON.
Received too late for last week.
George Crouse was on the sick list
several days lately.
Sumner Stover and family will move
to Flemington this week.
Butchering season is on and buck-
wheat cakes, sausage and scrapple are
the chief foods.
Warren M. Bierly and wife left
Sunday afternoon for Newton Hamil-
ton to attend the funeral of Mrs. Bier-
ly’s brother, which took place Mon- |
day.
The week of vacation for the young
school children was spent trapping for
fur-bearing animals and the success of
‘a devout follower of John Wesley.
their efforts could be told without the |
sight of the eye.
Sheriff Harry Dukeman was a busi- |
ness caller in this town one day last |
week, and did not fail, as is always his |
county auditor Stover.
Motorists through this town were
quite plenty, Sunday. The beautiful
weather with which we have been
blessad this fall, was taken advantage
of in this way by many.
It is an old saying, and indeed very
true, that you should never dig a ditch |
for another to fall into; for about the
time it is dug you will fall into it
yourself. Some few years ago a ditch
was dug for us, and we did not fall in;
perhaps some one else did.
Harry Winkleblech was badly kick-
ed by a horse one day last week while
custom, to stop for a little chat with | by
harnessing same. He sustained pain-
ful cuts over the eye and nose. It
will no doubt disfigure him greatly.
We are sorry to hear of his misfor-
tune and hope for his speedy recovery.
Herbert Stover had a car of egg
coal shipped to him for the use of the
school district of Miles township. The
car being of greater capacity than the
wants of the schools required, the re-
mainder of the coal was easily dis-
posed of.
Thirty persons, including sons-in-
law, children and grand-children, were
royally entertained and well fed at
the Henry Showers home on Sunday,
the 12th. Among those from a dis-
tance was the family of Edwin Con-
ser, of Avis, Pa. This item is a little
late being published in view of the fact
that your correspondent has been lazy
the past few weeks and did not send in
the news.
Calls for Some Discretion.
One of the best ways of attracting
birds, according to the authorities, is
to place the lips to the back of the
hand and make a violent kissing
sound.
Apparently this has some resem-
plance to the cries of a wounded bird;
and, according to one of the bird
books, one may enter an apparently
deserted thicket and, after a few min-
utes of this sort of thing, “find one-
self surrounded by an anxious or cur-
ious group of its feathered inhabit-
ants.”
This is valuable information, but to
be used with discretion. In Central
park, for instance, one is just as like-
ly as not, after trying this little orni-
thological experiment, to find oneself
surrounded by an anxious or curious
group of gentlemen with blue coats
and brass buttons. Better keep these
tactics for the open country.—Fred-
erick L. Allen, in Harper’s Magaizne.
PLEASANT GAP.
Merchant tailor Devinny and family
have moved into the Frank Weaver
residence, recently vacated by the
Harry Hartline family. The shortage
of residential homes at the Gap is
still in evidence. The scarcity of
houses is gradually increasing the
rents.
Grant Dunklebarger, one of our old
time residents, will have a clean up
sale of all his furniture, house and
large lot on December 23rd. Grant
has a son living in Illinois and a
daughter in Texas. He will in all
probability divide a portion of his al-
lotted time among his children in their
far away homes.
Engineer Lee Sampsel, of White-
rock, tells us that owing to the short-
age of men he has been obliged to
work seven days a week. His good
wife, Belle, says she fears that the
money earned on the Lord’s day will
not aid materially in keeping the wolf
from the door. This opinion is easi-
ly accounted for, as Mrs. Sampsel is
Sunday school class number 3, of
the Pleasant Gap Methodist Sunday
school, will hold a social in Noll’s hall
December 8th. Sandwiches, coffee, ice
cream and cake will be served. Our
Sabbath school teachers are doing
everything within the compass of hu-
man possibility to advance this good
cause. Hence it is that they deserve
a most liberal patronage from the
good people of Pleasant Gap and vi-
cinity.
You often see men on the street and
elsewhere, who would spurn the im-
plication that they were “under the in-
fluence.” The individual walks more
erect, if any different, than usual; the
face wears a calm, placid expression
and the eye has a far-away look.
Nevertheless the fact is they are full.
Perhaps the most amusing individual
is the one who has become intoxicated
without knowing it. He is perfectly
sober in his mind.
The butchering season is on to a
certainty. There is an unprecedented
demand for butchers; as Thanksgiv-
ing approaches the killing is pro-
gressing. Farmer Lee Brooks, who
is considered quite an expert in this
profession, has been head butcher dai-
ly for the last twenty days and is en-
gaged for every day in the week for
the next three weeks. Our regular
meat markets will no doubt feel the
effect until the backbones, spare-ribs
and sausage are used up, after which
they will again continue in their usual
progressive way. It was always thus.
Come to think it over. It isn’t such
a bad thing to be a lunatic. They are
either very happy or very miserable.
It’s one thing or the other. One of
their peculiarities is that they can see
the lunacy in others, but not in them-
selves. Each one looks upon the oth-
er as being a little off, therefor, not
worth minding. A rather intelligent
man said to me a few evenings ago: |
“You may see something about me
that strikes you as being odd, or prob-
ably queer, but you let it pass be-
cause it is my way. In this respect I
think we resemble lunatics quite close-
ly.” So it goes. Everybody is in-
insane, queer or cranky but ourselves.
What a blessing it is so.
Miss Helen Noll accompanied Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Keller on their return
to Philadelphia on Sunday last. Miss
Helen will remain in the city for a few
weeks. While there she intends to
call on a number of the Centre county
delegation now located permanently
in the Quaker city. The young lady in |
question, had always been healthy and |
cheerful but for the past year has |
been ailing and under the weather, as
it were. Fortunately she is recuper-
ating, and it is to be hoped she will be
herself again before many days pass
v. This trip east is what she needs.
That peculiar quality of solar energy
that sets aflowing the vital currents,
and starts the school children to jump-
ing and flying kites, arouses snakes
from their lethargy and calls forth the
modest daffodil, will no doubt have a
marked effect for Helen on this occa-
sion.
CENTRE HALL.
S. W. Smith came home from Phil-
adelphia on Monday.
E. L. Bartholomew, of Altoona,
spent Saturday and Sunday in Centre
Hall.
A baby daughter arrived at the
home of R.I. Smith early Monday
morning.
Mrs. Ray Morgan returned to her
home near Pittsburgh, on Tuesday
morning.
Both teachers and pupils enjoyed
the two day’s vacation incident to
Thanksgiving.
The pupils of our schools gave a
very liberal Thanksgiving donation to
the Bellefonte hospital.
The hunters went into their camps |
on Thursday—some before Thanks-
giving dinner and some after dinner. |
trip to Barnesboro in their car this
ok, to visit Mrs. Smith’s uncle, who
is ill.
Mrs. Dayton Lansberry and baby
daughter are visiting at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. IL
Smith.
Miss Catherine Ruble, who is now
working for the P. R. R. Co., in Altoo-
na, visited her mother on Saturday
and Sunday.
BOALSBURG.
John Stover and John Hess, of Al-
toona, are visiting in town.
Mrs. Widder, of Harrisburg, is vis-
iting her sister, Mrs. Ella Barr.
Hunting and butchering are the
chief topics of conversation about
town.
Mrs. Leonidas Mothersbaugh re-
turned home Tuesday, after a month’s
visit with her daughter, Mrs. R. R.
Stuart, at Crafton.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reitz, of Chax-
ter Oak, and Mr. and Mrs. Israel
Reitz, of near Petersburg, spent Tues-
day at the home of Henry Reitz.
Mr. and Mrs. Luther Dale and
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Smith made a | K
Hall, and -Mr. and Mrs. Clement G.
Dale, of Houserville, spent Friday in
town.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Isenberg and
twin sons, of Pitcairn, are visiting at
the home of their parents.
Rev. Van Camp, of Washington,
Pa., delivered a splendid sermon in the
Lutheran church on Sunday evening.
“Diamond Cut Diamond.”
A peculiar fact about diamonds is
that one diamond will cut another di-
amond. A man might take two pieces
of steel of equal hardness and scrape
them together till his hair was gray
without affecting anything but his
disposition; but let him with proper
knowledge of the art, scrape one dia-
mond with the sharp corner of anoth-
er, and although he will wear away
the keen edge of the cutting diamond
and will have to turn it around from
time to time to keep it cutting, it
will not be long before he has an ap-
preciable groove in the other stone.
The groove need not be very wide nor
very deep, but it must be in exactly
the right place; it must coincide with
the lines of cleavage. Though it is
the hardest substance known, the dia-
mond does have lines of cleavage, al-
though it sometimes takes an expert
hours of examination with the micro-
scope to find them. Any attempt to
cut a diamond across the lines of
cleavage will only result in shattering
the stone.
Serum for Snake Bites.
Sixty drops of venom, which will
form the basis of a serum to cure
snake bites, were milked from 33 cop-
perhead and moccasin snakes in the
Bronx zoo, New York. Experiments
in Brazil, establishing that whiskey is
no remedy for snake bites, have led
to an increased demand for serum.
Groups of sober animals and groups
of intoxicated ones were bitten by
snakes in the experiments. The sober
ones outlived the drunks by five or six
hours, indicating that the increased
circulation due to alcohol speeded up
the work of the poison.
Serum has been delivered by air-
plane in response to radio calls, and
is infallible as a cure if injected with-
in six hours, according to director
Dittmars, of the Bronx zoo.

—Columbia University in its ex-
tension department has started a
course in automobile engineering, aim-

knowledge of the internal combustion
engine, according to a report in the
New York Times. Frederick H.

Delicensed Hunter May Shoot at
Home.
Harrisburg, Pa.—State game au-
thorities in revoking a hunter’s license
have no right to forbid him from hunt-
ing on his own lands or lands adjacent
thereto, according to an opinion ren-
dered to the State Game Commission
by Deputy Atorney General Fred Tay-
lor Pusey to whom were referred a
number of questions which had arisen
in connection with the enforcement of
the hunting laws.
Some flagrant violations of hunt-
ing laws caused the commission to in-
quire whether it could not in revok-
ing a license carry with it a prohibi-
tion of hunting even on lands of the
licensee to be disciplined and on ad-
jacent lands over which the law gives
the right to hunt with consent of
owners. ;
Colonel Pusey said such a punish-
ment cannot be read into the act by
implication because a person is espe-
cially given the right to hunt on his
own lands or on the lands of a neigh-
bor by consent without a license be-
ing required. The clause relative to
revocation is penal in character and
must be strictly construed.
MEDICAL.
Not Due to Sex Alone
Bellefonte Women Have Learned the
Cause of Many Mysterious Pains
and Aches.
Many women have come to know
that sex isn’t the reason for all back-
aches, dizzy headaches and urinary
disorders. Men have these troubles,
too, and often they come from kidney
weakness. To live simply, eat spar-
ingly, take better care of one’s self
and to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, is
bound to help bad kidneys get better.
There is no other remedy so well-rec-
ommended by Bellefonte people. Ask
your neighbor!
Mrs. E. E. Ardery, Reynolds Ave.,
Bellefonte, says: “I have used Doan’s
Kidney Pills off and on for some time
whenever my kidneys have troubled
me and they have never failed to help
me. My kidneys were weak and out
of order and my back ached. I be-
came run down, too. Doan’s Kidney
Pills from Runkle’s drug store have
always relieved these attacks and
strengthened my back and kidneys.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Ardery had. Foster-Milburn
