MUNSON.—Mrs. Sarah E. Munson,
widow of the late L. T. Munson, was
found dead in bed at her home on
north Allegheny street, on Sunday
morning. She lived alone and failing
to see any signs of life about the
house neighbors entered and found
her in her last sleep. A physician ex-
pressed the opinion that she had been
dead several hours but was unable to
determine the cause of death.
She was a daughter of John P. and
Mary Swartz Gephart and was born
at Millheim on June 14th, 1851, hence
was in her seventy-fourth year. Her
parents moved to Bellefonte when she
was a girl and practically all her life
was spent here. Forty years or more
ago she married L. T. Munson, who
died 2a number of years ago, but sui- |
viving her is one son, John G. Mua- |
son, of Rogers, Mich.; she also leaves |
one sister, Mrs. W. B. Dix, of Dayton,
Ohio.

John’s Episcopal church and Rev. M.

eeral services which were held at ten
o'clock yesterday morning, burial be-
ing made in the Union cemetery.

SPANGLER.—Mrs. Susanna Bar-
ger Spangler, widow of John Spang-
ler, at one time sheriff of Centre
county, and mother of Col. J. L.
Spangler, of Bellefonte, passed away
at her home in Centre Hall at two
o'clock on Monday morning. Within
a few years of being a centenarian
her death was naturally the result of
her advanced age, as she had been
quite feeble the past six months.
A daughter of Abraham and Cath-
arine Boyer Barger, she was born in
Snyder county on August 22nd, 1828,
hence had reached the very unusual
age of 96 years, 4 months and 21
days. She was probably the oldest
woman in Centre county. On April
25th, 1848, she married John Spang-
ler, a young blacksmith, of Adams-
burg, Snyder county, where they went
to housekeeping and made their home
until April 1st, 1862, when they mov-
ed to Centre county and located at
Centre Hill. Two years later they
moved to Centre Hall and engaged in
the hotel business. Mr. Spangler was
elected sheriff of Centre county in
1878 and during his three years in of-
fice the family lived in Bellefonte. At
the expiration of his term of office the
family returned te Centre Hall and
that had been her home ever since.
Mrs. Spangler was a life-long mem-
ber of the Lutheran church and a de-
vout, christian woman.
Her husband has been dead for 2
number of years but surviving her are
three sons, Col. J. L. Spangler, of
Bellefonte; Howard J., who made his
home with his mother, and Reuben
B., of Bellefonte. She was the last of
a family of four children.
Funeral services were held at her
late home at ten o'clock on Wednes-
day morning, burial being made in
the Centre Hall cemetery.

GHEEN.—Charles Elmer Gheen,
for over nine years a well known resi-
dent of Bellefonte, died in the Allen-
town general hospital at 10:45 o'clock
on Monday evening, following one
week’s illness with pleuro pneumonia.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Gheen and was born in Nippenose
valley, Lycoming county, on July
20th, 1881, hence was 43 years, 5
months and 23 days old. The greater
part of his life was spent near the
place of his birth but ten years ago
he came to Bellefonte and accepted a
position in Gephart’s music store.
Following the death of Mr. Gephart
he took over the store and conducted
it himself a number of years. Last
spring he moved his family from
Bellefonte to Pleasant Gap and on
June first went to Allentown where he
had been employed ever since. He
was a member of the Lutheran church
since a young man.
On March 4th, 1904, he married
Miss Ellie Grace Forney who survives
with four children, George, Stella N.,
Royden A. and Charles E. Jr, all at
home. He also leaves one sister and
two brothers, Mrs. Fred Fitzgerald, of
Gallipolis, Ohio; Clarence S., of Jer-
sey Shore, and Guy B., of Sunbury.
The remains were taken to Rauch-
town, his old home, where burial will
be made tomorrow afternoon.
il n
ZETTLE.—George W. Zettle, a na-
tive of Centre county, died on Satur-
day morning at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Clinton E. Swartz, in
Tyrone, of general debility.
He was a son of George and Rebec-
ca Fry Zettle and was born at Centre
Hall on December 5th, 1844, making
his age 80 years, 1 month and 5 days.
In March, 1889, he married Miss El-
sie Waddle, at Milesburg, who died
six years ago, but surviving him is
one daughter, Mrs. Swartz, above
named. He also leaves the following
brothers and sisters: Samuel Zettle,
of Pleasant Gap; Mrs. Sue Peters, of
Pine Grove Mills; Mrs. Emanuel Shu-
ey, of Dalton City, Ill.; Mrs. William
H. Musser, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Wil-
lian Grove, of Lemont, and Mus.

KRIDER.—Mrs. Mary R. Krider,
widow of Rev. Samuel Krider, died on
Saturday night at the home of her
son, A. R. Krider, at Johnstown, fol-
lowing an illness of some weeks wit}
a complication of diseases. She was
born in west Ferguson township, Cen-
tre county, on September 15th, 1845,
hence was in her eightieth year. Her
husband died in Johnstown in 1913 but
surviving her are two sons, S. A. Kri-
der and A. R. Krider, both of Johns-

town could settle the dispute at once.
Mrs. Blair did it.
From the rise of the curtain to the

so dainty, artistic and smooth as to
carry one quite beyond the conscious-
ness that it was wholly amateus.
There wasn’t a falter. Not an instant
when a sympathetic audience might
have been in suspense lest a break
| was pending.
i The show opened on a minstrel set-
ting. Really it was a picture with its
forty-four women and girls effectively
gowned in green and white, wearing
| green Maude Muller hats with white
| flowers, and the color scheme carried
i into the scenic investiture. The open-
' ing chorus introduced the smudges on
| the scene of beauty. They came per-
sonified in Lily” Love, “Mandy” Hof-
fer, “Daffodil” Straub, “Asperin”
Badger, “Topsie” Wolfe, and “Mig-
onette” Heverly. They were the only
shady things in the show, but as end
women they made all of the fun—and
it was aplenty.
Girls are handicapped a bit in doing
end-man business because they are
more refined than men and wouldn't
think of cracking the risque jokes
that usually get the galleries. They
got them all, down stairs and up, how-
ever with a line of very clever patter.

Chinese Summer . Resorts, Ancient
Temples, Etc., Described by
Dr. W. R. North.
Kwanhsien, China, July 8, 1924. !
Deor Home Folks:
We have been here in the mountains
for sixteen days, and they have been
days full of interest and adventure.
The longer I stay here, the more at- |
tached I become to the place. In
many respects a vacation here is the
equal of one in an American mountain
resort, and in some particulars say: |
passes a similar vacation at home.
We have here, for instance, many
strange trees, flowers, and plants. We
constantly come upon peculiar cus-!
toms and habits. The whole is one of |
comparative strangeness, even those
foreigners who have been here year !
after year not having begun to explore |
all the nooks and crannies. Of course, !
we miss some things. We do not
know what a drink of ice-cold water
is, as all our water has to be boiled,
and never becomes really cold. We
never have fresh milk, for all our
We don’t |
use as much “milk as we would at
heme. and couldn’t if we wanted to,
for Chinese cows give about one-quar-
ter to one-eighth the amount, I should
say, that a real American-bred cow
would. We don’t get ice cream or
lemonade except the latter in rare in- |
stances, when one of us is enterpris-
ing enough to order the lemons from !
Shanghai, 1500 miles away, and await
them with anxiety lest they rot before
reaching us. We miss real honest-to-
goodness apples. The only apples we |
have here are what we would feed to
the pigs at home—small and sour.
But we do have some good things to
eat, in spite of the formidable array
of lacks. We have loquats—pi ba—
the Chinese call them. They are like
a delicious crab apple with seeds
grown to eight or ten times the nat-
led with an apple flavor. We have

hind the season on the plain, for we |
have becn repeating on fruits here
that we had ceased to get in Chengtu,
some time before we laft there to come
here. ;
So far my thoughts have been of
the earth earthy. We do other things
besides satisfying the desires of the .
outer man. The scenery is wonderful. |
Yesterday most of the foreign coin-
munity went on an all-day hike and |
picnic to the place called Fern Gorge.
We started about 8:30 in the morning
and reached home about 6:15 at night.
Our path led along mountain trails
for the whole distance, down into vai-
leys and up again into mountzing,
arrived at the Bei Sha River (which
is to say, being translated, the White
porary encampment. After a good
swim in clear, cold mountain water,
we ate a hearty meal of all sorts of
good things. Then five of the most
ambitious of us started on a hike up
the river to the gorges which we
heard were so marvelous. After an
hour’s hard hiking in the hot sun we
came into one of the most beautiful
spots I have ever seen. The Bei Sha
rushes down a very narrow—V-shap-
ed valley that towers high on either
side, clothed with trees to the very
top, except where here and there some
farmer ekes out a precarious existence
on a cleared patch of land where our
farmers at home would not think of
growing anything. A geod footpath
runs along the valley, somewhat
above the river, which in one or two
places is spanned with a suspension
bridge built of bamboo cables covered
with planks or boards—generally the
latter. And there is no sign about
the size of the load which can be car-
country that is more than some 270
pounds in:weight. I am afraid, how-
ever, that at home the officials would
have numerous law suits on their
hands brought by people who had
broken their legs by trying to make
the cracks. The cracks are as nu-
merous as the boards, and almost as
large.
We hurried back to catch up with
the rest of our party, who, we knew,
would s“art on toward home ahead of
us. We overtook them before we '
reached the place where we were to
have tea—tea, you know, is an insti-
tution among the foreigners out here,
just as it is in England. After our
refreshment, we started on again,
reaching home a little weary, but feel-
ing fit and happy.
In several of my letters I have men-
tioned the methods of carrying out
here. I had an interesting
light thrown on this subject when I
reached here last night. On our way
to the river in the morning we ho!
passed a number of men carrying
loads of coke on their backs. They
were bound for our place, I afterward
found out. After we had weighed up
the coke on our return, I asked the
man in charge how far they carried,
and what the carriers get for carry-
ing. He told me 10 cash a catty for
the distance of thirty li. In other
words, less than one-sixth of an
American cent for one and one-third |g
hit of |
pounds over a distance of ten miles.
TS ASI FERREIRA BOR SE SEER RRS RDS
The grown men, carry perhaaps 150
catties, or nearly 200 pounds. Three
small boys were carrying in this
crowd. One, 13 years old, carried 85
catties, or over 100 pounds. Another,
12 years old, carried 74 catties, or
about 90 pounds. A third, 13 years
old, carried about the same weight.
We grown men thought we had done
well to carry the weight of our own
bodies that distance. The endurance
of the Chinese is little short of amaz-
ing.
During the coming week Miss
Hutchinson, of the English Friends
Mission, and Mrs. North and I expect
to go to a temple about thirteen miles
away to stay for two or three days.

forming and healthful. I expect that

Last Wednesday morning Mrs.
North and I, along with Miss Huteh-
; inson, of the English Friends’ Mis-
sion, started on a trip to Chin Chen
Shan (Green City Mountain), a dis-
tance of some 55 or 60 li (about 18 or
20 miles) from here, to visit a very
famous temple known as Tien Si
Dong (the Cave of the Heavenly
Teacher). We left our temple here
about half-past eight in the morning,
with four man-loads and one of the
school boys at Chengtu with whom
Miss Hutchinson is acquainted. After
descending the mountain, we passed
around the city of Kwanhsien, crossed
two bridges spanning two branches of
the Min River, which issues from the
mountains here, and is split into var-
ious streams to irrigate the plain, and
“came soon to the pagoda erected to

and visible for a long distance on the

mountain slopes. These pagodas, as
I have remarked before, are supposed
to placate the “feng shui,” or the
spirits of wind and water. Irom here
we passed through what seemed to me
to be the most garden-like spot I have
vet seen in China; irrigation channels
bordered with overhanging trees, cax-
rying water quietly but steadily to
supply the surrounding rice paddies;
rushing streams, tumbling and rush-
ing over rocks, bordered by shady
paths made picturesque by the fre-
quent load-carriers wearing sun-hats
as large as umbrellas, and clothed
only from the waist to the knees, tan- ! :
Brockerhofl' house, played Lost to the
ned by the Orient sun until they are
as dark as the American Indian. On
either side of these streams rice pad-
dies stretch away interminably, each
one small in itself, but closely joined
to others, a thin fringe of trees or a
small path bordered with hills of
beans alone separati it from the
others. A thicket of bamboo, or a
{ small grove of more substantial trees,
gives away the presence of a farm-
stead, walled in by mud or bamboo to
keep out bandits (Ban Keh, “club
guests,” the Chinese call them) or
other prowlers. Along the roadside
every few miles one comes upon a
wayside inn, dark, dirty, squat, with
a low thatched roof and no windows
only the open front of the building ad-
mitting light and air. You would not
think of stopping—unless you had
been in China a few weeks; but as
you have become suffieiently Oriental:
ized, you stop and. have a bowl—no
cups are used by the uncontaminated
Chinese—of tea. And such a bowl;
stained and dirty in appearance, if not
in reality, full of cracks that have
been mended as only a Chinese jour-
neying mender can mend them! How
thankful we are that hot water kills a
multitude of germs! We drink tea,
and call for more “kai sui”—hot wa-
ter, “bubbling water,” literally. For
the Chinese custom is to put the tea
in the bowl, cover it with boiling
water, and drink it—when it is cool
enough. When the first potion is
quafted, extra water is added, but the
tea lasts throughout the ordeal—as
Mrs. North thinks it. No sugar, no
milk—none of those impedimenta of
our complex Western civilization. We
do this several times during tke day.
Is it not expensive? Very. Each
bowl of tea leaves, with all the boiling
water you want costs 20 cash; that is,
about two-thirds of a Chinese cent, or
one-third of an American cent. We
pass on to the town of Yu Tang
Chang (Jade Hall Market). If this is
your first journey on a Chinese high-
way, you no doubt think this place
must be a thing of beauty. If you
have travelled it before, you expect
what you find: A long, crooked street
paved badly with cobble stones and a
few slabs, bordered by shop fronts in
various states of repair and disrepair
—usually the latter—and full of pigs,
chickens, dogs, beggars, and kids (the
human variety). We reached Yu
Tang Chang on market day.
