FROM MOUNTAIN TO CITY.
A Newsy Letter of Travel and Home
Life in China by Mrs.
W. R. North. .
Chengtu, China, Sept. 7, 1924.
Dearest Home Folks:
Here we are back again in our old
house at Chengtu, and maybe we are
not glad to be back. It’s fine to go
away and have a summer in the cool
of the hills, but it’s just as fine to get
back home.
We left Kwanhsien on August 25,
for Beh Luh Din, another lovely re-
sort, where the foreigners have bun-
galows almost as nice as their city
homes. Beh Luh Din means “White
Deer Mountain” and the foreigners
have their bungalows on the very top
of it, 6000 feet up in the clouds. We
were a day and a half getting to the
top, it taking a half day to climb the
mountain, and I had to walk almost
the whole way up, for I was riding in
my three man chair and they couldn’t
carry me around the curves. We were
a day traveling on the plain from
Kwanhsein to Chin Gang Lin, at the
foot: of the mountain, where we spent
the night. It was one of the hottest
days we had all summer and we
hadn’t any cold water to drink. We
had to try to quench our thirst with
hot tea and it wasn’t very satisfacto-
ry. Oh, how I longed for a drink of
ice-cold lemonade!
It was beginning to get dark when
we landed in the temple at Chin
Gang Lin where we spent the night.
Our carriers with our bed loads had
not come in yet and didn’t get in un-
til almost nine o’clock. I was so tired
I think I could have slept on the floor.
But we finally had our supper and got
our beds up and gotin them. But our
bedding had all been baked so by the
sun that it was just like crawling into
an oven. It was almost morning be-
fore it cooled off sufficiently to make
ong feel comfortable; and then it was
soon time to get up and have break-
fast and begin to climb the mountain.
Such is travel in China!
But when we reached the top we felt
repaid for the effort we had made to
get there. The scenery from Beh Luh
Din is exceptionally fine. One morn-
ing we had a fine view of the snow
mountains. It seemed as if they were
almost near enough to reach out and
touch them.
The late afternoon of the day we
reached Beh Luh Din, it started to
rain and kept it up for almost three
days. We weren’t troubled with the
heat, then, I assure you. It was al-
most uncomfortably cold and the peo-
ple had to build fires in the fire-places.
The mist came up the mountain and
closed us in so that we could scarcely
see the next house below us on the
hill. But the folks on the mountain
were glad for the rain because they
depend on it for their water supply.
They have huge wooden tanks set un-
der the spouting at the corners of the
houses, and unless there is sufficient
rain during the summer to keep those
tanks filled, they are out of luck.
When we reached there the tanks
were just about empty, and even the
spring fram which the et their
bring yn lers might have proved tragedy. For :

ing, September 1st, with a bunch of
opium users for carriers. Heretofore
comb my hair and we had no tooth
brushes or tooth paste. Then, too.
here were all our loads which had
come down from Kwanhsien with the
Starretts through a pouring rain, and
we couldn’t get them open. We had
visions of everything in them being
covered with mould. We took our
meals at Freemans, but here we were
all day Wednesday and unable to do
anything because we had no key. It
certainly was provoking. And in my
traveling bag were $18.00, my jewel
case and other valuables. I really
never expected to see it again, for the
carriers were all opium users and an
opium eater will sometimes steal
when he’s short of funds and needs
his opium. But, finally, Thursday
morning, in came our bed load and the
traveling bag, and not a thing had
been touched. I consider we were for-
tunate to get all our things even
though they were so late getting in.
We got all of our boxes and trunks
unlocked and found nothing badly
spoiled, All of our shoes and, in fact,
anything leather that had been stored
away for the summer was just cover-
ed with mould. It all rubs off, though,
so there’s no damage done. We work-
ed hard Thursday, Friday and yester-
day and now have the house in pretty
good condition. Although we have
servants, cleaning house out here is
some job. It’s almost impossible to
get the servants to clean the wood-
work properly. They don’t see any
dust higher than their heads and they
never get the dust out of the corners.
It’s very trying to one who likes to
have things done right.
We have a hard time spreading out
our little bit of furniture over this big
house. Miss Oster, as I told you, has
gone to Tzechow and we are here
alone now. I also have to have cur-
tains made for all of the windows and
I don’t want to put a lot of money in-
to them here, for they probably will
not fit our windows in Chungking.
But we certainly are enjoying being
alone, even with our small equipment.
When we entered the city on Tues-
day, we hardly recognized it. The
new military Governor, Yong Sen,
certainly is making things hum. He
is widening all of the main streets
and paving them so that they can use
rickshaws and even automobiles. Ru-
mor has it that the Governor has al-
ready put in an order for four Fords.
And I, myself, saw a rickshaw the oth-
er day when I was on the street. The
city certainly will be greatly improv-
ed when the streets are finished.
On Friday I went with Miss Burde-
sham on a shopping expedition. We
planned to take the whole day for it
so made arrangements for Bill and his
Chinese teacher to meet us at a Chi-
nese restaurant and have lunch. At
twelve o'clock we ail met and the Chi-
nese teacher ordered our dinner. We
had rice, stewed chicken, steamed
chicken and rice, and ham cooked in
sugar. ‘No vegetables at all; just
meats.
certainly enjoyed it. It was the first
time we had done such a thing but I
think we’ll do it again. Of course, we
took our own chop-sticks with us.
forward to seeing again when I re-
turned. No doubt there will be many
faces missing by the time four more
years have passed. Do you realize
that it is a year and six days already
since we left home? If the rest of the
time passes as quickly, we'll be home
before you know it.
This year my supply of jars was
very small, so I didn’t get much fruit
canned. I have just six quarts of
cherries, one pint of strawberries, four
pints of plums, eight pints of apple-
sauce, four pints of tomatoes, three
pints of pickles and one pint of apri-
cots. But we get fresh fruit almost
all winter and it’s so cheap that it re-
ally doesn’t matter whether you get a
great deal of canning done or not.
Just now we are getting persimmons,
pears, dates and pomegranites. The
persimmons are delicious. Bill some-
times eats four for his breakfast. The
oranges will soon be in. They, after
all, are about the best of all of the
fruits, I think.
I suppose you are having plenty of
corn at home now. ' We had it while
we were at the mountains, but we
haven’t any now. It is too late for it
here in the city. There are very few
vegetables just now and it certainly
is hard to plan meals this hot weath-
er. You can’t run to the store and get
cold meats and cheese and there isn’t
any lettuce in our garden just now, and
Bill won’t eat cucumbers and onions.
Tonight for supper I had deviled eggs,
French fried potatoes, bread and but-
ter, and fruit and cookies. It was
enough for the heat, but I would have
enjoyed something ice-cold.
I'm glad the folks at home enjoy
our letters. I certainly enjoy reading
the “Watchman.”
SARAH.
Nesting Robins and the Northern
Lights.
Two letters that came to our desk
Wednesday morning so strikingly il-
lustrated the wide seasonal variations
in this great country of ours that we
are prompted to give you just a
glimpse of them.
The first was from Dr. Eloise Meek,
who is now acting as medical adviser
at Winthrop College for girls at Rock
Hill, South Carolina. Most of the
“Watchman” readers know Dr. Meek,
if in no other way, through her series
of letters from India, published in
these columns several years ago and
her more recent tales of “mushing” in
Alaska. She writes:
“I was wakened this morning by the
robins singing. Glorious spring sun-
shine is streaming through my win-
dows and the jays are nesting just |
outside.”
Surely this sounds like a descrip-
tion of late April here and makes ‘one
long for an end of the snow and cold.
But then we pick up the other letter.
. It is post-marked Rampart, Alaska.

pose she would have supplied me with

The next morning we got up early
and started for Chengtu, our loads
still not in sight. We reached home
at about five-thirty Tuesday evening
and not one of our loads came in. The
unfortunate thing was that our keys
were in my traveling bag which was
tied up with the bed load. Everything
was locked up here at home and we
had no keys to unlock our trunks. One
large box was unlocked and it hap-
pened to have two sheets, a blanket
and a few towels and wash cloths in
it. So we fixed up a bed and could
wash ourselves, but I still couldn’t

and we use that term to distinguish
it from “len swee” which is cold water
which hasn’t been boiled. Most Chi-
nese who have not been in contact
with foreigners do not distinguish be-
tween “bin swee” and “len swee.”
This coolie takes the pitcher and goes
out and fills it with “len swee.” For-
tunately, Bill was printing pictures
and just happened to go out to get
some water in time to catch the coolie
filling the pitcher. Otherwise, I might
now be suffering from an attack of
dysentery. Maybe not. It’s surpris-

we are exposed to all kinds of filth

Dr. Glenn Again Writing Interesting
Letters from Florida.
The following is what we hope will be
first of a series of letters from Dr. W. 8.
Glenn, of State College, who is spending
the winter in Florida. The letters that
Dr. Glenn wrote from southern resorts last
winter proved so interesting to many of
our readers that we secured a partial
promise from him to write impressions
gained during his present sojourn in the
land of flowers.—Ed.
West Palm Beach, Fla., 2-1-25.
The “Democratic Watchman:”
It will be four weeks tomorrow
since we arrived here and I had in-
tended to write you long ere this, but
every minute seems to be taken up
and every day has been such a perfect
one that I can’t get much else done
than sit on the porch and revel in its
beauty.
We are wearing the very lightest of
our summer clothes and crowds are
bathing in the ocean all the while.
There are many more tourists here
than last year, new ones arrive every
day, yet on all sides are displayed
| “Apartments and Furnished Rooms to
Let.”
We have a very pretty and comfort-
able place, half the ground floor of a
large house, with lawn shaded by
bearing cocoanut palms, blooming
poincettas and other shrubbery. The
Elk’s club, a beautiful building, is just
across the street.
The Palm Beach county fair was
held last week. The display of or-
, anges, -grape-fruit and all kinds of
vegetables was simply enormous,
while there were pens of as fine chick-
{ens of every variety as I have ever
i seen.. They had their auto show on
the grounds at the same time and noth-
: ing was charged for admission to any-
| thing except the side shows.
We went to Methodist church this
‘morning and, somewhat to our sur-
prise at a resort of this kind, found it
full to overflowing; then home to din-
‘ner to find delicious fresh peas and
| strawberries among the other things
i served.
| Land and home values have doubled
since we were here last winter. New
{ homes are going up everywhere. The
i Conners highway across the State,
that was opened last Thanksgiving
:day—also the new railroad that was
opened with great ceremony last week,
have directly connected the east and
west coasts of Florida and brought the
thousands and thousands of acres of
the rich soil of the Everglades into
market for settlers who want to grow
garden truck and sugar cane. This
has boomed southern Florida wonder-
fully, for with such soil and a winter
climate unexcelled the possibilities are
limited only by one’s will to develop
the riches that are possible. In con-
sequence many of the smaller places
along the east coast now are destined
to become cities of importance ere
long. I have talked to many tourists.
All of them—and they are here from
every section of the United States and
Canada—seem to be perfectly delight-
ed with the climate. In fact I haven’t
‘met a “grouch” yet. There is a Tour-
ists club here that meets every Thurs-
. day in a hall furnished by the city so
i that opportunity is afforded to get-in
! touch ‘with others’ whose object in be:
inge here is about the same as our
own.
We are all well, enjoying ourselves
immensely and wish you could be with
us. The “Watchman” comes regular-

nine months since he escaped authori-
ties have been constantly on his trail,
- sometimes pretty close, but he always
managed to get away. The trail led
through a number of States in the

serving a term in the state prison for
murder and it was just prior to the
time for his discharge that he con-
fessed he was wanted in Centre coun-

MURRAY.—Mrs. Lucy A. Murray,
widow of the late W. Abner Murray,
died at her home in Boalsburg last
Thursday afternoon, following an ill-
ness of several months as the result
of general debility.
She was a daughter of Francis and
Lettie McElroy Alexander and was
born near Centre Hall on December
29th, 1844, making her age 80 years,
1 month and 7 days. When a child
her parents moved to the well known
Alexander farm, in Potter township,
where she lived until her marriage
to Mr. Murray on December 27th,
1866. They began housekeeping in
Boalsburg and in 1869 built the resi-
dence where practically all of their
married life was spent. Mr. Murray
was one of the old time residents of
Harris township and a life-long Dem-
ocrat. In 1880 he was elected to the
Legislature from Centre county ‘and
made a good representative. As a
young man he subscribed for the first
issue of the Democratic Watchman
and it has been a constant visitor to
the Murray home ever since. In fact
Mrs. Murray was also a faithful read-
er of this paper and every week look-
ed forward to the date of its arrival
in her home. She was a life-long
member of the Presbyterian church
and as long as her health permitted a
regular attendant.
Mr. Murray died a number of
years ago but surviving her are two
daughters, Misses Flora and Augus-
ta E., both at home. Two children
died in infancy and another daughter,
Marian A., in 1906.
Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick had charge
of the funeral services which were
held on Sunday afternoon, burial
being made in the Boalsburg ceme-
tery. Among those in attendance
were Mr. and Mrs. Abner Alexander,
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Royer, Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Neff, Mr. and Mrs. W.
A. Odenkirk and J. H. Weber, of
Centre Hall; A. S. Allen and wife,
of Centre Hill; H. S. Ailman and Miss

Thursday, at his home in Wilkins-
burg, of H. A. McKee, a former resi-
dent of Bellefonte.
Mr. McKee was the eldest son of
Dr. and Mrs. James McKee, and was
born in Stormstown, Centre county,
seventy years ago. His boyhood life
was spent in that place but when he
grew to manhood he came to Belle-
fonte and read law in the offices of
Stitzer & Magee. He was admitted
to practice at the Centre county bar.
He practiced only a short time when
he gave up the law to embark in busi-
ness, purchasing the hardware store
of Harry Hicks. - This was in the
latter eighties. His store was located
where the F. W. West furniture store
is now situated and he was in business
| there until 1899 when he sold out and

Monday night. Wasn’t it mean of
them? But watch out, you limies!
Have you noticed how our business
boys are beginniny to bowl again?
They’ll soon be able to bend in the
middle with their old-time fairy-
like grace. It’s s’prising how bowling
reduces a 44 belt in such a short time.
Y men leave home, but they go to
the Y with wify’s consent, so it’s all
right. Ls
L. D. Quick, Prohibition Enforcement
Officer, Again in Trouble.
L. D. Quick, of Milesburg and Lock
Haven, a prohibition enforcement
officer, is again in trouble. He was
arrested at the Brant house at an
early hour on Sunday morning where
he was spending the night with a
woman not his lawful wife. When
chief of police Harry Dukeman enter-
ed the room occupied by Quick and the
woman to make the arrest he found
both of them with very little clothing
on. Quick was taken to the Centre
county jail and the woman, who was
from Clinton county, was permitted to
return to her home on Sunday morn-
ing.
Quick was released from jail later
in the day by Judge Arthur C. Dale
after putting up a one thousand dol-
lar bail bond for his appearance at
court. On Monday a warrant for his
arrest was sworn out by the overseers
of the poor of Milesburg charging
him with non-support of his children.
Sheriff Taylor went to Lock Haven
and. hrought him back here on Man-
day evening but he again gave
| bail in the sum of $500 for his appear-
ance at court.
Early in January Quick was arrest-
ed in Lock Haven for failure to pay
a Bellefonte woman a $45 board bill.
He settled the case by making pay-
ment and since that time took part
in a big raid pulled off in Lock Haven
in ‘his capacity as a prohibition en-
forcement officer.
Work for the County Sunday School.
The Young People’s workers, of the
State Sabbath school association have
given the young peoples workers of
our county a big task. They can only
do it with the help of every Sunday
school in the county, so will you
please co-operate so that the State
workers can send help directly to
your Y. P. classes in your own school.
This is what they have to do: The
| State office wants a record of all class-
es in every Sunday school, between
the ages of 12 and 24. It is organiz-
ing a team of workers in the county,
including our campers, to see that
every Sunday school gets the proper
cards to be filled out.
It has set the 21st of February as
the day for these cards to be filled out
in your own school and sent the fol-
lowing morning to the person having
charge of the Y. P. work in your dis-
trict, who in turn will send them to
Margaret Ferree, Oak Hall, county
superintendent of Young People’s
work, so a county record can be made.
Please remember your class is not
considered organized unless you have
a charter from your own denomina-
tional headquarters.
Don’t forget February 21st is the
day.
