I —————————————————————————————————————— Ee “Bellefonte, Pa., November 26, 1926. —————————— "MADE RECORD RIDE TO MOUNTAIN TOP Two white men and two Indians recently rode saddle horses to the summit of Squaw mountain, that peak of the Rocky mountains lying neares* Glacier Park hotel. Hikers have for years made the summit of this mountain at an eleva- tion: of 7,820 feet, but never before has a horse been taken over it. Crow Feathers and Cut Finger, Blackfoot Indians, accompanied by Ernest K. Gann and Harlow Gieseke, two St. Paul young men, accomplished this difficult feat. Realizing the im- portance of this accomplishment the Glacier Park Hotel company has taken up with the park superintend- ent the proposition of having a horse trail laid out along the route discov ered by the Indians. Crow Feathers says that a view from this peak reveals the grazingZ ground of mountain sheep and goats upon the wall of rock forming the edge of the Great Bowl. The horse trail follows an old footpath but turns aside before it hits the peak. TANGIER NOTED AS CITY OF INTRIGUE Everyone in Tangier, Morocco, is either a spy of some government or interest concerned in Moroccan af- fairs or is being spied upon. FProb- ably the majority of the sples are vol- unteers, enthusiastic amateurs who get a great thrill out of slinking and whispering about. They give a cer- tain comic opera air to the place. If one goes to Tangier for anything oth- er than the ordinary tourist visit, the chances are he wil’! acquire a private spy of his own, assigned to follow him about and report his actions and in- tentions to the French or Spanish au- thorities. With all its amusing fea- tures, the spy industry of Tangier has some excuse for being. While Abd El! Krim was still a power, it was at the tables of the Cafe Central that many of the deals for the ship- ment of contraband arms were made. Because of its position on the strait of Gibraltar, within sight of the Eu- ropean shore, the city always has been a place of intrigue.—New York Times. Not Welcome Marjorie did not like the idea of & aew baby brother. When her mother returned home from the hospital their meeting was a joyful one, and as Marjorie settled herself on the bed for a happy chat she noticed the little stranger on the other side of her mother. With a small forefinger pointed at the unwanted playmate, Marjorie de- manded, “when is that hospital baby going back to the hospital?” Assessors Use Airplanes fn Connecticut tax assessors are using with good effect photographs of interior lands to help in their assess- ments. In one county the tax list recorded 1,551 barns, garuges and sheds, but when the air photographers had finished their task it was found there were 2,902 such buildings in that area, with the result that the tax list increased in value more than $0. 000,000.

Paris.—One hundred francs for car- rying two suitcases from the customs shed at Cherbourg to the tender, a trip of less than 100 yards, is charged by porters. The imposition has caused the for- eign steamship companies to take drastic steps against it. The union of baggage porters appears to have sin- gled out Americans for its holdup tac- tics. In some instances passengers, especially unescorted women, have been literally robbed. One American woman recently em- barking on one of the ships flying the American flag gave the porter 40 francs. He demanded that she open her bag and produce more money. Terrorized, the woman unclasped her handbag and showed the porter one 20-franc note, all the French money she had left. “This will have to do,” said the holdup man, snapping the bill away. The woman shrieked, and one of the officials came along and made the por- ter disgorge but not without a short. spirited fight. These instances, which had multi- plied by hundreds recently, caused the skipper of an American ship to send for the walking delegate of the por- ters’ union and warn him that if such sharp practice did not cease he would call upon his crew to handle the bag- gage and give them instructions to give a forced bath to any porter ir terfering. “They never come back, these people,” said the walking boss. “I don’t see why we shouldn't get all we can out of them.” Wood of Palmetto Tree Now Used for Furniture Atlanta, Ga.—The sable palmetto tree, emblematic of the state of South Carolina, is about to attain its second States. This time it will be chron- fcled in the annals of furniture mann facturing. The tree received first historical mention as a protection for the Ameri can colonists in their defense of Fort Moultrie, where the shot from the British fleet sank harmlessly in the soft, spongy logs. His attention prompted by the unique porous quality of the tree, a large industrialist acquired a 300,000- acre tract of groves and enlisted the ald of 12 laboratories of furniture companies in an attempt to apply © veneer finish. The work was assigned to the wood- work department of the Georgia School of Technology, which, after a two-year period of research, has just succeeded in applying a glasslike ve neered surface. Its only use in the past has been for dock piling and the building of rugged, picturesque log cabins. Eggless Custard Sale Cost Him $10 Fine Brockton, Mass.—Judge Carroll C. King had a busy day in district court here with cases that resulted from the jrockton fair. One case established itself as well out of the ordinary. It concerned one Lester Kohn, a con- cessionnaire at the grounds. He was charged with “sale of custard contain- ing no eggs.” State Health Inspector Daniel G. McCarthy brought the charge, claiming that Kohn was doing a rushing business in selling custards, but he informed Judge King that a custard is not a custard without eggs. Kohn paid a $10 fine and it is the first time in the history of the local court that a conviction has been made on such a charge. 3 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9.0. 0 0 8 0 8 TTS AS Tee Presidents, Popes - Have Longest Lives . Washington.—What class of * persons live the longest as an average? Occupants of the White House hold the record for longevity, according to statistics on nota- ble men compiled by Pitrim Sorokin, a Russian economist. Their average life span is al- most exactly the biblical three- score and ten. Close on their heels as long- lived mortals are the popes of the Roman Catholic church, who average 69.6 years. A third group includes American mil- lionaires, with 69.2 years. Schol- ars and scientists average 67.3 years and writing men 64.4 years. The poorest showing was - made by the hereditary mon- archs of Europe. Though this group included some very long- lived families, the average lon- > gevity was only 538 years. In . explanation of the poor showing of kings, it has been pointed out that other groups represent the results of selection. The presidency and the papa- cy, for example, are both elec- tive offices and are filled in- variably by men of mature years and usually good health, who have made their own rec- ords, while monarchs are nota- bilities simply by accident of birth, and by the same accident of birth may come of stocks de- cidedly inferior so far as health and vigor are concerned, ~ - LC - - » ° - . “ . “ « . . . ho “ . eo lo 3 lo . lo . 3 . o « Le fo place in the history of the United .

ONE MEDIUM-SIZED DOG. (Continued from page 2.Col. 0.) course down her cheeks, “be that dog out there.” Suddenly she saw the dog, as he had lain there unseen for weeks. She had not once looked at him. Yet as tears | blinded her she saw now, his face on his paws, his dinner plate forgotten, his eyes unwavering uopn the upper window. She remembered him, tawny and full of hope, beside the new po- tatoes at market. She remembered his waving plume, his pride in that dreadful ham, in the discovered glove. She had gone back and forth past him and had not looked his way. To-day she felt that she must look at him. Of all the creatures in the world that she might look upon this one had felt what she was suffering. She wiped ! her eyes and looked at the unregarded | Then she wiped them again. figure. Her eyes had been right the first time. The dog was gone. As she stared she saw the dangling rope. Poppa must have tied him care- lessly last night. A terrible fear at her heart, she ran noiselessly up the stairs. A shock might kill Theodore. The doctor said the worst of this cursed fever was that it put such a strain on the heart. The dog might have nosed up the catch again. She had seen him do it once. At her son’s door she stopped. Could she face what she might be forced to see? As she wavered she heard a voice, scarcely more than a hoarse whisepr. “Democrat!” she heard. : As she pushed wide the half-ope door she saw the dog, his eyes upon the bed in the corner, sit up and beg. The great eyes in the ghostlike face on the pillow turned her way. Into their new brightness she could see that there stole a look of fear. “I didn’t call him,” the white lips whispered. “I never did after that once.” She came over by his bed. She could hear Poppa stealing up the front stairway. “But I guess he knew I wanted him,” the white lips formed. “He's a good doctor,” said Momma. “He'd better see you every day.” The white lips smiled. It was their first smile for so many weeks! “Do you like him 7” they whispered. “Yes,” she said. “Doctor Prince,” said her son sleep- ily as his eyelids closed. 3 Poppa, who had tiptoed in, was be- side her, his arm was about her waist. They stood together while Theodore’s breath came gently in his sleep. As they stood there a tawny head nosed cautiously past her skirt until it rest- ed on the counterpane. The eyes were fixed unwavering on Theodore’s face. Poppa’s arm tightened about the boy’s mother. “Give us a kiss,” he said gently. She gave it to him, one arm about his neck. “Nobody in the world but that dog,” she wept comfortably, when she had kissed him, “had any sense at all.” “He's a smart dog,” said Poppa. Between them as Momma's free hand wavered down to rest at last kindly on Prince’s yellow head he could feel the dog’s wholé body quiv- | ering.—From the Woman's: Home: Companion, By Grace Torrey.
