MOTHER AND CHILD.
By Robert Louis Stevenson.
The child, the seed, the grain of corn,
The acorn on the hill,
Each for some separate end is born
In season fit, and still
Fach must in strength arise
To work the Almighty will.
So from the hearth the children flee,
By that Almighty hand
Austerely led; so one by sea
Goes forth, and one by land;
Nor aught of all man’s sons
Escapes from that command.
And as the fervent smith of yore
Beat out the glowing blade,
Nor wielded in the front of war
The weapons that he made,
But in the tower at home
Still plied his ringing trade.
So like a sword the son shall roam
On nobler missions sent;
And as the smith remained at home
In peaceful turret pent,
Bo sits the while at home
The mother well content.
PERRYSVILLE HOSPITAL NO. 5.
By Levi A. Miller.
And still the story of the battle is
not complete. What became of the
wounded left on their pallets of straw
in the open field? How were the bad-
ly injured removed to other quarters?
nd what was the result of their
treatment ?
It must be remembered that this
was one among the first battles of the
war, the losses ranking next to Bull
Run, besides a majority of the men
engaged were entirely new to the bus-
iness, and their officers and surgeons
inexperienced. For these reason the
showing is not as favorable as could
be made by taking a battle a year or
two later as a sample. Besides this,
the whole affair is new and novel to
the writer of notes, and he sees things
that soon become so commonplace that
he never mentions them again. Al-
though, I believe the old veterans of
the war, the loyal citizens and the
young and rising generation will en-
joy the story that was written over
sixty years ago.
Hospital No. 5, Perrysville, Ky., Oct.
11th, 1862.
The soft side of a church pew does
not compare favorably with a feather-
bed as a place of sleeping. Last night
we came in here on foot, through the
rain and mud, with nothing to eat and
no blankets. A little whiffet of a doc-
tor piloted us to the Methodist church,
which is officially known as “Hospital
No. 5.” They have torn out about
half of the benches and faced them
together, thereby making pens to put
the straw in for the men to lie on.
Some are lying on the floor and others
have but a single bench, which they
face close to the wall, so they cannot
fall out. Many of the cases here are
very bad, and it has been decided to
do more amputating as soon as they
can get some straw to make beds and
get provisions down from Louisville.
There are about fifty in this hospital.
All the other churches, the seminary,
school-house, and a number of pri-
vate homes are also used as hospitals.
A great many of the wounded had
never had their wounds dressed, be-
cause they could get along without it,
and the doctors have had no time to
attend to any only the worst cases.
Home-sickness is taking hold of a
great many, and it is a very bad thing.
Others are afraid they are going to
die, and for that reason are worse
than if they had the pluck to stand
the racket.
If we only had something to eat and
a warm place to stay! It is so cold
in the meeting house, and so dreary
and dismal that a fellow is apt to get
the horrors. About nine o’clock this
morning we had coffee issued to us in
the grain, and hard-tack straight. I
had nothing to make coffee in, but was
fortunate in finding an old oyster-can,
which makes an excellent coffee-pot.
I tried to borrow a coffee mill, but
there was none to be had. By tying
a portion of the coffee in a rag and
pounding it between two stones, I sue-
ceeded in getting it down pretty fine,
not as fine as a very fine dust, but fine
enough to make coffee. That was a
royal breakfast—an oyster can full of
coffee and three hard-tacks!
Picture if you can, a fellow hunger-
ed, down by a little fire made of sticks,
shivering with cold, and weeping be-
cause of the smoke, with no cup and
saucer to cool his coffee in, and too
hungry to wait for it to cool in the
oyster can; no sugar, no cream, no
nothing—only coffee and hard-tack!
The boys inside got a sniff of the cof-
fee and came out. The result was, I
didn’t get much then; but we kept the
oyster can busy all day. Some ladies
came in from Danville and brought
us light-cakes, fruits, roast chicken,
and such things; but these were given
to the bad cases. All of us two-leg-
ged fellows had to take care of our-
selves.
What a change the presence of la-
dies makes in such a place! The boys
brightened up right off, and all of us
feel better. They all laid off their
bonnets and wraps and went to work
and it wasn’t long until things went
snugger. They said they were all Un-
ion people, and were going to do all
they could for us.
A large supply of bandages and oth-
er hospital supplies came in and the
doctors are now able to fix up the
wounds in better shape. A wagon
load of straw was brought in by an
old farmer, who said he thought we
might need it. He could not have hit
it better, unless he had brought feath-
er-beds. A number who had limbs
amputated are beginning to become
feverish, and sometimes quite delir-
ious; so there is not much chance for
sleeping.
There seems to be no unnecessary
suffering, and if the friends of th
who are here could see how well they
are cared for, they would be much bet-
ter satisfied than they are now. Food
is plenty, such as it is, and there is no
scarcity of medicine, while the atten-
tion of the doctors and nurses is all
that could be desired. It is much bet-
ter than I dreamed of. The notes re-
corded from day to day show how yap:
idly means may be adapted to ends.
From day to day additional supplies
of provisions, and blankets and such
things as go to make life endurable,
were received;
from all parts of the country. Some
merely to see what a wounded man
looks like, and others to tender their
services.
Baskets of cakes, pies and good
things poured in until there was no
more room for them. Those badly
hurt were not allowed to eat such
things but the two-legged ones were,
and they lived fat until the surgeon
in charge notified the citizens to bring
nothing more. Too many of the men
were getting sick. Hundreds of peo-
ple from the North flocked to see their
wounded friends or relatives, or se-
cuure their dead bodies.
One of the principal duties of vis-
iting ladies was to write letters for
the wounded. When the Seminary
girls came in from Danville every fel-
low wanted a letter written. The girls
delighted in doing it particularly when
the letter was to a sweetheart. They
would lay it on strong, for they knew
how they liked it themselves. Indeed,
it was real jolly. There were some
Pittsburghers among the wounded;
they belonged to the 79th Regiment,
one company of which was recruited
in Washington and Allegheny coun-
ties. A majority of those who died
in the Perrysville hospitals were car-
ried off either by secondary hemor-
rhages or home-sickness. Home they
went, and for good, too. The ampu-
tations performed several days after
the injuries received were not as suc-
cessful as those performed on the field
hospital This is generally the case,
and on this account surgeons recom-
mended amputations at once, where
they thought there was a possibility
of it having to be done finally. Just
as soon as the wounded were able to
be moved they were sent to Louisville.
Several school-houses and other pub-
lic buildings were converted into hos-
pitals in Louisville and thoroughly
furnished with everything necessary
to the comfort and benefit of the men.
With the exception of Washington
city, Louisville had the best regulated
hospitals in the country during the
war.
This ends the story of the battle of
Chaplin Hills, as witnessed by one sol-
dier. Others may have seen more,
and some may have stumbled onto
things more horrible, but what has
been recorded was noted at such
places and times as the worst phases
and features of the battle and its dire
effects would most likely be manifest-
ed. It was a vicious conflict and will
never be forgotten by those who par-
ticipated in the cruel and stubborn
combat.
SURGERY TO SAVE
WASHINGTON’S TREE.
Fredericksburg, Va.—Congressman
Martin L. Davey, of Ohio, in private
life a national authority on trees, has
assured local officials and D. A. R.
representatives that the famous horse-
chestunt tree planted by George
Washington can be saved.
Three surgeons have been working
the last week cleaning out the decayed
parts, which were found to be more
extensive than previously thought.
The opening of the tree trunk is large
enough for the Congressman to enter,
and in all about two tons of cement
will be required to fill the cavity.
“It is possible that this minie bail
started the decay,” said Mr. Davey,
looking at a small lead bullet which
was found imbedded in the tree. “At
any rate, the tree has evidently been
decaying for nearly sixty years. Any-
thing that thoroughly pierced the bark
and thus allowed the spores of the
fungus to enter is sufficient to start
decay which nature is unable to check.
TREE NO 2
“Properly cared for, there is no rea-
son why the tree should not live in-
definitely,” he added, and gave his
sanction to an old custom when he
said, “there’s no reason why the cut-
ting of initials and hearts in the bark
of a tree should injure the tree, unless
cut unusually deep.”
The tree is one of the city’s prized
possessions, being the last of thirteen
horsechestnut trees planted by George
Washington along a favorite walk
from the home of his mother to that
of his only sister, Mrs. Fielding Lewis,
at Kenmore. Residents of the town
recall two others of the row which
have fallen from decay within the last
generation.
MANY GARAGES BEING
BNILT FOR SESQUI EVENT.
Construction of public garages in
Philadelphia has jumped during the
present year in anticipation of the
tremendous influx of motorists from
all sections of the United States dur-
ing the Sesquicentennial International
Exposition. Many four, five and six
story modern fire proof structures
insuring safety, comfort and con-
venience have been erected or are
under way, and many more will be
ready for occupancy before the Ex-
position opens on June 1st, 1926.
Between January 1st and Septem-
ber 1st of this year the Bureau of
Building Inspection granted permits
for 1772 garages. This eight months’
total exceeds that for the twelve
months of 1922 and 1923.
An “official list” of garages in the
city is being prepared by the Auto-
mobile committee of the Sesquicen-
tennial Exposition which includes
members of the Keystone Automobile
club of Philadelphia. This list will be
posted on all roads leading to Phila-
delphia to direct visiting motorists to
reputable garages. Motorists will be
warned to shun unlisted places.
The committee is determined to pro-
tect all motorists from gouging by
garage owners and managers as well
as by repair men. =
. Bites for one large and several
smaller auto camps have been selected
adjacent to the Exposition grounds
and will be fully equipped for the re-
ception of Sesqui tourists early next
spring.

Great Wall of China
Longer Than Supposed
It is one of the Seven Wonders of
the World, medieval Europe wrote
poems about it, and the Great Lexicog-
rapher, friend to Miss Pinkham In
the days before Becky Sharp threw
the dictionary told a certain Scotch
writer to the signet that it was worth
a visit. Chinese poetry and legend is
full of the names of" Kia-ju-kwan and
Shan-hai-kwan—much as we speak of
Dan and Beersheba. But few are the
eastern Chinese wlio have reached the
western end—political exiles, for the
most part, fieeing from poison or the
silken cord at Peking.
It fell to Sir Aurel Stein of the
British museum to put an end to the
myth of Kia-ju-kwan by finding hun-
dreds of miles of wall beyond it in
the desert, older and more romantic
still, built of bundles of reeds and pop-
lar branches anchored to driven posts.
But, important as his discoveries are,
barely a score of Chinese know of
them yet, and hence they have not
robbed Kia-ju-kwan of its unique
place in Chinese lore.—Langdon War-
uer, in the World's Work.
Their Duty to Watch
for Strayed Travelers
The official title of a small group of
young men who watch for lost travel-
ers in’ the mountain passes of Switz
erland during the winter is “Soldiers
of the Snow.” These soldiers are
young Italians who live on the Italian
side of the pass. They are exempted
from military service, even in case of
war, on condition that they aid all
lost travelers on the mountain passes.
They are supplied with uniforms to
distinguish them from smugglers, but
not with guns. Their duties are the
same as those of the monks of the
hospice with whom they are in con-
stant communication by telephone.
During the long winter they watch all
Swiss and Italian slopes of the pass
for strayed travelers, hundreds of
whom have been saved from a linger-
ing death In the snow. At some sea-
sons of the year the snow Is all melted
and the traffic route through St. Ber-
nard’s pass is open.
Horror of Horrors
She was charming and she knew ft.
What's more, she knew that the whole
car full of north-bound passengers
knew it, too. She reveled in their ad-
miring: glances although assuming an
air of modest unconcern.
Decidedly well groomed she was.
from head to foot. Her coat-suit was
trim in every detail and modish to per-
fection. About her there was that alr
of conscious perfection characteristic
of those who are confident of thef»
grooming.
There was nicety in every detail
save one. When she arose to leave
the car with that languid, graceful air
of hers, the whole car saw the flaw.
Had she observed it her cheeks would
probably have blushed brick red with
mortification. Just where her silken-
clad ankle entered the black satin
slipper, there was—a hole.—Columbus

First Iron Bridge
fhe first iron bridge in the world
was Ironbridge, in Shropshire, Eng-
land, which spans the River Severn.
The work was put in hand and the
various parts cast in 1778 at the Coal-
brookdale ironworks, the proprietor
of which, Abraham Darby, was the
designer of the structure. Approxi-
mately 500 tons of iron were used in
the construction of the bridge A re-
markable feature of the undertaking is
that all the castings are keyed to-
gether, no welding or screws having
been used. The roadway, which is 24
feet wide, has an iron foundation, upon
which is laid a few inches of clay,
which, In its turn, is covered by the
usual road metaling forming the sur-
face. The main arch has a span of
100 feet. A
Life and Death
A man with an uncanny mania for
Juggling with figures produced pencil
and paper and said to a friend: “Put
down the number of your living
brothers. Multiply it by two. Add
three. Multiply the result by five.
Add the number of living sisters. Mul-
tiply the result by ten. Add the num-
ber of dead brothers and sisters. Sub-
tract 150 from the result.” The friend
did it. “Now,” sald the other with a
cunning smile, “the right-hand figure
will be the number of deaths, the mid-
dle figure the number of living sisters,
and the left-hand figure the number of
living brothers.” And so it was. —Tit
Bits.
Bare-Headed
Robert had accompanied his mother
and father to church. On the seat In
front of them sat a woman holding a
tiny “bald-headed” baby.
Robert watched the Mttle head bob-
bing around with great fascination,
then pulling mother down to the level
of his mouth, he whispered in awe-
struck tones:
“Mother, was I bareheaded like
that all the time when I was a baby?’
Presidents’ Married Lives
The Presidents of the United States
who lived a married life of 50 years or
more were John Adams and John
Quincy Adams. The former was mar-
ried in 1764 and Mrs. Adams died in
1818. He died in 1826. John Quincy
Adams was married in 1797. His wife
died in 1852 and he in 1848. We find
no record that the golden wedding an-
niversaries were formally celebrated.
Mystery Hangs Over
Prophesies of Enoch
The first trace of the existence of
the Book of Enoch is found in the
Epistle of St. Jude, verse 14, in which
reference is made to the prophesies
of Enoch from which St. Jude quotes,
but it is uncertain whether he de-
rives his quotations from tradition or
from writing, although the wide spread
of the book in the Second century
seems almost decisive in favor of the
latter supposition. Considerable frag-
ments are preserved in the “Chrono-
graphia” of Georgius Syncellus (about
792 A. D.), and these, with the scanty
notices of earlier writers, constitute
the sole remains of the book known
in Europe till the chose of the Eight-
eenth century.
A report was current that the en-
tire book was preserved in Abyssinia,
and at length in 1778 Bruce brought
with him on his return from Egypt
three manuscripts containing the com-
plete Ethiopic translation. The Ethi-
opie translation was made from the
Greek, and probably toward the mid-
dle or close of the Fourth century.
But it is uncertain whether the Greek
text was the original, or itself a trans-
lation from the Hebrew. In its pres-
ent shape the book consists of a se-
ries of revelations supposed to have
been given to Enoch and Noah which
extend to the most varied aspects of
nature and life, and are designed to
offer a comprehensive indieation of
the action of Providence,
Notwithstanding the quotation in
St. Jude and the wide circulation of
the book itself, the apocalypse of
Enoch was uniformly and distinctly
separated from the canonical Secrip-
tures. :
It’s Worth the Money
“Golfers certainly are persistent,
even when persistence is costly,” de
clares a seller of supplies at the Syl-
van Glen course. “Not long ago a
well-knickered chap with plenty of
clubs and a terrible slice bought three
balls to start his game. At the first
tee he drove all three Into the creek
below, a creek that holds enough wa-
ter to make recovery impossible. He
came back and sought three more and
shot two of this new supply into the
creek with the others before he finally
drove over. After that he played all
the way around with the one ball. His
experience is not unusual, either.
Others suffer the same way, But they
keep on buying balls until they make
a successful drive. And that one drive ;
always seems to compensate them |
for their losses.”—Detroit News.
Pajamas After This
A coed at Indiana university was
sending her washing to a woman in
town instead of sending it home, as
80 many of the students do. The
clothes always came back with a neat
list of the clothes included with the
price after each. The coed had a fa-
vorite blouse that she wore to classes,
which was often in the wash. It usu-
ally headed the list: “Blouse—20
cents.”
One day the regular washwoman
was sick and a neighbor did the work.
This time the list read, “one-half a
pajama—6 cents.” It was the same
garment. The coed hopes the same
mistake will be made in the future, be-
cause seemingly as much care was
taken with the half a pajama ag with
a street blouse.—Indianapolis News,
Taking Advantage
Now that Frank Atkinson has given
up breaking records and flivvers on
Cahuenga pass, he devotes his time to
his police dog Nan, and recently
brought her home from the farm
where they have been training her.
The dog Immediately took a great
fancy to Doris. She tried to lick her
face, kept brushing up against her
and followed her all over the house.
Doris was half afraid of her and
once, when Nan rushed up to her from
behind, Doris turned and said with
great indignation:
“You is ’tentioning me too much,
even if I is your relation.”—Los An-
geles Times.
Extensive Irrigation Plan
A striking scheme of irrigation
which will tap the Huancabama river
on the eastern Andean slopes and di-
vert the water through a nine-mile
tunnel to the western side of the
range, where it will be connected with
four or five other rivers and form a
permanent water supply for 120,000
arid acres on the coastal plain, is an
innovation in {irrigation plans now
under way in northern Peru. Forty
million cubic feet of river water will
reach the rice fields and sugar plan-
tations of Chiclayo and Lambayeque
by means of a dam about forty-five
miles from the seaport town of Pi-
mentel.
Chind’s Gifts to the World
The Chinese, before 1857 B. C., in-
vented water cocks, Improved weap-
ons, wheeled vehicles, musical instru-
ments and junks. The Emperor Yau
built roads and canals. The compass
was invented in 1118 B. O. and en-
graving in 1800 B. O., and gunpowder,
firepots, firecrackers, which they used
extensively at celebrations, ete, and
also in battle to frighten horses, ete.,
and repeating crossbows and printing
were also invented by the Chinese.
No Need to Worry
Talk about overcrowding the world
is nonsense. On a conservative esti-
mate there are enough unsol¢ build-
ing lots laid out in the United States
at this writing to accommodate 500,000
people with plenty of purchasable
acreage for aNotment just beyond. —

| SAYS POLITICS MOLDS
OUR MUSICAL TASTES.
rene
America’s musical taste hasbeen
molded by her world politics, in the
opinion of one continental writer.
That view is expressed by a German
critic, Prof. Adolf Weissmann, in a
book entitled “The Problems of Mod-
ern Music,” which has lately been in-
troduced to America. Says the writer,
in speaking of this country, “America
is eager to be rid of her European
teachers, of which Germany is the
chief, but she is also determined to
make the best use for herself of the
resources which come to her from the
Old World. It is clear that she is
willing to be guided by the Musical
Entente; but it is, of course, very nec-
essary for her—since she has not a
long musical culture of her own—
to take what is good, wheresoever
found, from the various musical move-
ments of the day.”
The latter thought is amplified by
the author as follows: “America, in
the course of becoming the world’s
banker, has not stood altogether aside
from Europe’s artistic interests. Till
gigantic market for Eurcpean music,
but the artists who visit her shores
for the sake of her dollars have grad-
ually created a musical milieu. There
is, however, a dark side to the tre-
mendous business organization of art.
The very superfluity of excellence in
the performance of the best music by
the best artists and orchestras (for
the most part under German con-
ductors or under the influence of Ger-
man musicians) leads to musical
satiety, whereas collectedness and
latterly she was little more than a "a costly practice, at least one Phila-
quiet are the sine qua non of all the
true creative activity. The great
music of Germany was created in
stillness, not in the hubbub of the
stock market.
“The American spirit, which now
demands a musical life of its own, is
very difficult to define; it loves show
and excitement, is uninterested in
abstractions, is dominated by money,
and is only begining to entertain the
notion of taste in art. Feminine in-
fluence is everywhere a suggestive
and sustaining power in music, but in
America it is particularly strong, both
for good and evil. It must not, how-
ever, be forgotten that a deeply eth-
ical sense persists amidst the scram-
ble for dollars in America, and that
there is a great deal of public spirit.
A religious tendency combats the ap-
parently predominant materialism.
The ethical value of music is recog-
nized and from this point of view it
will have rich resources to draw
upon.”

3 A Straightforward Statement by Judge Dale
of Centre County.
On the 8rd day of November you
will elect a Judge to preside over the
courts of Centre county for a period of
ten years. Ten years is a long period
of time in the life of a man or a wom-
an.
I was born on the 24th day of Sep-
tember, 1889, and am now past thirty-
six years of age. In ten years from
this time I will be past forty-six years
of age. In these days of great activity
young men should be placed in posi-
tions of responsibility. The business
of the Court should be disposed of
promptly and efficiently. Delays ob-
struct justice and hamper litigants,
as well as counsel.
should be continued in office for the full term of ten years.
On the 15th day of September of this year I was nominated
on the Prohibition ticket, which means that my name will appear

two men who contend with me for office.

should be a non-partisan office. Ten years ago it was, in fact, a
non-partisan office, and although the law making it such was re-
pealed by the Legislature, the judgeship still is in spirit a non-
partisan office, and should be regarded as such.
In announcing my candidacy at the primaries I said to you,
“I am a candidate on the Republican, Democratic and Prohibition
tickets for Judge of the courts of Centre county,” because I be-
lieved that the judicial office should be a non-partisan office.
At the promary election there were five candidates in the field,
and I as the PEOPLES CANDIDATE, received almost one-third of
the votes that were cast. This places me on an equal footing with
my two opponents. In placing myself in the hands of the people
of Centre county I point solely to my record. You know what
my record in public office in this county has been. I place this
contest on the fair plane of record. Your vote in November will

This is not my fight but it is your fight to perpetuate the
pure principles of our democracy, recognition of dedication to
faithful service of all the people, as well as the fundamental prin~

On election day when you mark your ballot you can put an X.
at the head of your straight party ticket and then mark an X after
the name of Arthur C. Dale on the ballot in the column of candi-

election I would caution you not to believe rumors and reports of
any kind, no matter from what source they may come, which are
not based upon foundation in fact.

your respective communities who shall dispatch the business of
our courts during the next decade.
