title and interest in the Big Spring |

deed of 1823 the town had the right
to use from the Big Spring only the
amount of water that could be sup-'
plied through a three inch pipe, and
this for domestic purposes only. No
right was given to use it for steam
or manufacturing purposes. Major
Reynolds being the owner of the
Smith and Harris deeds and seeing
the growing needs of the people of

his rights to the borough without a
cent of cost. A. O. Furst Esq. made
the presentation speech for the Ma-
jor and it was accepted by Edward
Humes, president of council. Other

last Friday evening, John W. Hart-
sock, one of the older residents of

with an attack of apoplexy, fell to
the ground at the side of the road
and died almost instantly. Harry
.Ebbs. passed him as he was walking
along the road and to aim he remark-
ed that he was not feeling very good.
Ebbs had gone less than a quarter of
a mile when he looked around and
saw Hartsock lying at the side of the
road and an automobile standing
‘nearby. Naturally he thought the
aged man had been the victim of an
accident and going back he was told
by the automobilist, who proved to
be a traveling man from Ohio, that
Hartsock was lying by the side of
| the road when he first saw him and
‘he had stopped to see what was
wrong. A Bellefonte physician gave
"the cause of death as a stroke of
: apoplexy.

July 17th, 1857, hence had reached
the age of 72 years, 2 months and
17 days. As a young man he en-
gaged in farming, an occupation he
followed many years. He served
several terms as road supervisor in
Patton township and during the past
several years had been caretaker
for the State Highway Department
on the Buffalo Run valley road. He
was a lifelong member of Gray's
Methodist church anda member of

lows.

his first wife, Bond M. Hartsock, of
Columbus, Ohio, and Hon. Samuel

charge of the Eagle hotel. But run-
ning a hotel was not to his liking
in
the restaurant business. Later,
however, he found his vocation in
the real estate business in which he
was quite successful.

Pigs as Currency
A traveler who hus returned to Eng-
land from the Pacific has been telling
some amusing stories of things that go
on in the New Hebrides. Pigs, he
says, are not only eaten on a large
scale, but they are the standard cur-
rency in the island. There are cer-
tain ceremonies at which it is very
important to have pigs, and they are
frequently borrowed. The men who
lend pigs are like money lenders, de-
manding interest on their loan, and
when the pig is paid back it must be
the size the pig that was loaned would
have grown to during the time it was
borrowed.
Whitman's “Ballyhoo”
Walt Whitman, writes Harvey
O’Higgins in Harper's Magazine, at
the time his first book of poems ap-
peared, ballyhooed himself, anony-
mously, in the American Phrenolog-
fcal Journal as the “haughtiest of
writers that has ever yet written and
printed a book.” And in the United
States and Democratic Review, for the
same month of September, 1855, he
hpiled himself ahonymously, as “one’
of the roughs, large, proud, affection-
ate, his costume manly and free, his
face sunburnt and bearded, his pos-
tures strong and erect.”
hl Mystery of Sleep
Science has evolved drugs that will
put one to sleep, but just what it is
that brings natural sleep is as great a
mystery todgy as it was to the cave-
man who curled up on his rock mat-
tress, with his flowing beard spread
over him for a quilt.
it is a commentary on human na-
ture that we are more particular
about our food than we are about reg-
ular hours of sleep, yet it is a fact,
definitely established, that it is pos-
sible to live much longer without food
than without the benign embrace of
Morpheus.
Prices of Wheat and Flour
It takes five bushels of wheat to
make one barrel of flour. A barrel
of flour makes 300 loaves of bread.
For every change in price of flour, of
$1 per barrel, the baker's cost is af-
fected to the extent of one-third of
one cent for each one-pound loaf. Im
short, wheat would have to either ad-
vance or fall 60 cents per bushel, be-
fore it could affect the price of bread
