MUCH LIKE ORDINARY BOY
English Lord as a Youth Succumber
to the Temptations of a Straw-
berry Patch.
The best of berries figures as a tri-
umphant tempter in the biographies
of statesmen, Years ago at Eton there
was a spacious garden near the school,
celebrated for the size and flavor of
its strawberries, and the proprietor
made so many complaints of loss that
Mr. Austen Leigh was deputed by the
head master to catch the offenders.
He kept watch, and swooped down
upon one offender as he emerged from
the garden, There was a tussle in a
ditch, then the boy broke away,
crawled to the middle of the road,
sat down, and solemnly addressed Mr.
Leigh as “You beast!”
The result was the appearance be-
fore the head master a few hours
later of Lord Randolph Churchill. One
cannot imagine such an escapade in
the youth of Mr. Gladstone, but there
is a note of Lord Morley's at Biarritz
in 1891: “Mr. G. did not appear at
table today, suffering from a surfeit
i Pratt. Twice a day the women went
of wild strawberries the day before.”

Rare Dollars.
Even if you are not a coin collector
you may be interested in knowing
about one of the rarest coins in ex-
istence, the American dollar of the
mintage of 1804.
There are not more than four or
five of these coins in America at the
present time, although 80,000 were
minted and circulated. The entire
output was sent over to the pay-mas-
ter of the fleet of three United States
men-of-war then lying off Tripoli.
The sailors who received them took
them ashore and traded them to the
natives, who prized them far above
their real value. There were very
few silver coins in circulation in Af-
rica at that time and the Bedouins,
who eventually got hold of most of
these dollars, used them as a basis for
silver jewelry.
A good many years later one was
found attached to the armlet of a
chief of the Ghadames tribe, in the
Sahara. It had descended from fath-
er to son, and was bought by the
Banks Brothers, of Boston, who paid
$2,000 for it.
Ra
Fooled ’Em!
“T fooled ’em, by gosh, I fooled
’em,” said the stranger who had pa-
tronized for the first time a self-serv-
ice restaurant.
“Yes-siree, I fooled ’em. I went in-
to the restaurant, took the tray my-
self, took the fork and knife myself,
selected the food myself, carried it
myself to the table, but I fooled ’em,
by gosh, I slipped out without wash-
ing the dishes.—St. Louis Star.

PORPOISES LIKE TO PLAY
Huge Animals of the Sea Grunt Like
a Hog—Is Harbinger of the Her-
ring and Mackerel.
ns
If, toward the end of the summer,
you see a commotion in the sea off the
harbor mouth, you can safely guess
that a school of porpoises is about,
and that there are shoals of herring or
mackerel on the move.
As soon as the water becomes
warm in the long summer days, the
porpoise comes down from the cold
seas for food—and play. Frequently
there are as many as a hundred por-
poises in a school.
The porpoise’s body is bloated, just
like that of a pig, and when he grunts
the likeness is complete. His under-
part is dazzlingly white, his back a
greenish black in color. Often he at-
tains a length of five feet. On his
back is one great triangular fin, and
it is this fin that enables him to go
through his “stunts” at sea. ’
He does not swim—he rolls, It is
an ungainly motion, but one that is
absorbing to watch. He rolls over
and over, throwing up a spray and
grunting in a curious manner. He
never seems to get in the way of his
fellows, no matter how large the
school.
The most entrancing part of the
spectacle is when the porpoise decides
to do some acrobatics, He hurls him-
self from the water, rises some eight
or ten feet, his fat body curved and
glistening, and then drops with a ter-
rific splash. All the time he is breath.
ing hard, so that a school of these
creatures makes a considerable noise.
Herring and mackerel are his prey.
Season after season he hunts them
down and eats them wholesale, Small
wonder he is not a favorite with fish-
ermen.
But he is a harbinger of the herring
shoals, and for that reason his com-
ing is eagerly awaited. Only when
herring are about does the porpoise
become bold. He is a useful crea-
ture, too. His big body holds a con-
siderable quantity of good oil, while
from his skin porpoise leather is made.

COWBOYS MILK WILD COWS
New Form of Amusement as Staged
in Washington Calls Forth
Protest. ”
Our special representative in the
state of Washington, who has done s0
much to create humane sentiment
against the cruelties associated with
the rodeos and wild west shows of
Washington, sends us the rules of a
new form of cruelty as they appear
upon the printed program, known as
the “Wild cow milking contest.” Five
wild, but fresh milch cows are to be
used. The cow has thirty feet start.
Two mounted men to each cow are
waiting in line to give chase.
Here are three of the rules for this
contest :
The catcher will stop the cow but
not “bust” her. If you do bust her you
are out.
His partner will dismount, go down
the line, catching the cow by the
horns, twisting her head back and tak-
Ing the rope off from the cow or roper
must release his rope from horn or
saddle,
The rider who roped her will now
dismount and proceed to milk this wild
cow until he has half filled one-half
pint cream bottle furnished by the
committee,
Some of the finest people in Ameri-
ca live in the state of Washington.
May the day soon come when their in-
fluence will be strong enough to stop
these barbarous exhibits of the rough
and cruel handling of animals to fur-
nish amusement to people capable of
finding pleasure in such primitive
forms of so-called sport.—Our Dumb
Animals. ;
Store Water in Bamboo Pipes.
{ took notes while we were at Epa
Jf a rather curious method of drawing
water from the communal spring, half
a mile from the village, says H. C.
down in chattering groups to the
spring, carrying bamboo pipes twelve
feet long. These pipes are made by
forcing out the pith at the joints, and
hold about five gallons apiece. When
full, the drinking end was plugged
with leaves, the pipe being stood in
a shady spot near its owner's house
and used when needed. Incidentally,
drinking from these weird receptacles
was a rather hazardous business, care
being necessary lest a too eopious sup-
ply should gush cut when the pipe
was held to the mouth.—Wide World
Magazine,
First Millionaire in the United States. 1
The first United States millionaire
was Stephen Girard, a French sailor
who settled in Philadelphia in 1772 as
a wine merchant on a small scale, and
henceforth was bound up with the des-
tiny of the Quaker City. He built
fleets of merchant vessels, created
whole residential districts, and when
the Bank of the United States threat-
ened to stop payment set up his own
bank and became the leading banker
of the country. On Girard’s death in
1832 his estate amounted to ten mil-
lfon dollars—the largest known up to
then in the United States. He was a
bachelor, and left the whole of his
furtune, with the exception of a few
trifling legacies, for charitable pur-
poses.

Newspaper Best Medium.
and publicity men in Atlantic City in-
teresting comment was made on the
line of distinction between publicity
and advertising material and paid
newspaper space was advocated the
da articles. It was urged that such
paid space should be liberally used.
“There is no need for making the
question of what is news and what is
advertising a mysterious one,” La-
bert St. Clair, of New York, adver-
tising director of the American Elec-
tric Railway Association, declared.
“Every good advertising and publicity
man knows the difference. When he
contemplates putting out a story he
should place himself in the position
of the city editor and the advertis-
ing man. If the story has news mer-
it, it should be given out as news, if
it is advertising, it should be made up
as an advertisement and placed in
paid space.
The amount of free advertising
which even country newspapers are
called upon to give is enormous.
Every mail brings so-called news
stories which are as a matter of fact,
simply advertising matter and should
be charged for as such.
ASKS HUNTERS TO KILL CATS.
In a letter sent out to sportsmen,
Seth E. Gordon, Secretary of the
State Game Commission, urges hunts-
men to kill all stray and deserted do-
mestic cats.
Stray cats and crows are referred
to by the game secretary as vermin
and he announces that in the 1922
hunting season approximately 80,000
cats were killed off by hunters.
“Due to the ancient traditions con-
cerning the killing of cats,” says Mr.
Gordon, “many persons in Pennsylva-
nia unfortunately take cats they no
longer desire out into the forests and
release them rather than put them to
death in a humane manner.”
The attention of sportsmen is di-
rected to the increase in the bounty on
gray foxes from $2 to $4 and on wild-
cats of from $8 to $15. There are no
bounties on crows or stray cats but
their extermination is asked.—Ex.
Electricity Enslaved.
Steinmetz was right when he said
that in days to come the electricity
that Franklin lassoed will go to work
harder than ever for man and spare
him a lot of today’s drudging labor.
But that will not mean a release of
energy to mere easy idleness. Lei-
sure will mean education and the cul-
tivation of talents which with so many
of us have lain dormant or scantily
utilized. ©The enormous inventive
achievement of the ninteenth century
built on the ages and the new epoch
will rise on the stepping-stone of re-
cent invention to a soaring peak
whose height is not for man to deter-
mine.—Public Ledger.
Not Fooled.
Hubby—Well, dear, I suppose you
were right about there being burglars
in the house last night.
Wifey—Why ?
Hubby—Because the money I had
in my pocket is gone.
Wifey—Well, why didn’t you get up
and shoot the burglar?
Hubby—If I had, Id have been a
widower this morning.—Prairie Far-

Wild Life in Forest.
Forests are the home and breeding
grounds of hundreds of millions of
birds and game animals which the
forests provide with food and shelter,
says the American Tree association.
If we had no forests, many of these
birds and animals would soon disap-

So Deceptive
Many Bellefonte People Fail to Real-
ize the Seriousness.
Backache is so deceptive.
It comes and goes—keeps you
guessing.
Learn the cause—then cure it. .
Possibly it’s weak kidneys.
That’s why Doan’s Kidney Pills
are so effective.
They’re especially for weak or dis-
ordered kidneys.
Here’s a Bellefonte case.
Mrs. Mahala Kreps, Phoenix Ave,
says: “A few years ago my kidneys
were in a wretched. condition and I
suffered a lot with dull, nagging
backaches. At night the pains were so
severe I couldn’t rest. My kidneys
acted too often and I had frequent
spells of dizziness and headaches. I
used Doan’s Kidney Pills as directed
and they helped me from the first.
Four boxes of Doan’s cured me of all
signs of the trouble and I have had
no return of it.”
