CHRISTMAS FAIRIES
FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS
Christmas Fairies, children,
Are singing in our ears,
Tiny, little, lovely things
Bringing Christmas cheer.
Telling dad and mother
All your wishes, gay,
For toys and books and candies, sweet,
To greet you Christmas day.
Old Santie gives each fairy,
As it hastens from his shop,
A wee, bright, sparkling lightning bug
With wings that start and stop.
And to every one it meets or greets,
No matter who they be,
It's whisper goes so low and sweet:
‘What do you choose for your tree.”
- Then dad, he wants a ‘‘comfy’’ chair,
With newer lines and grace,
And ‘Chubby’ wants a base-ball mask
To save his fat, round face.
And ‘‘Sallie-Lue,’”’ she’s all a thrill,
To get her doll's house fixed
Before old Santa comes around,
Or he’ll find her in ‘‘some mix.”
And mother and the other folks,
Who live with you alway,
Are just too rushed to wish one want—
For it’s now 'most Christmas day.
Then the little lantern lightning bug
Goes ‘flop,’ and rubs his wings,
And lo! A light comes sparkling through
And shows folks all the things.
That each one wishes for himself,
And some, for others, too.
Which makes the fairy lightning bug
Live in the hearts of you.
And, also, why old Santa
With his good wife, Mrs. Claus,
Keeps coming back each Christmas
To prove their love-thought cause.

went to one of the mines near
Philipsburg for a load of coal, be-
ing accompanied by Johnson, They
were on their way home with five
tons of coal on the truck. Koch
was driving and in attempting to
pass another coal truck his truck
caught on the hub cap of the other
machine,
hurtling the heavy truck across the
highway and down a ten foot em-
bankment. When the machine struck
the bottom of the hill the heavy
load of coal crushed the cab of the
truck and buried the two men be-
neath it.

a term of nine to eighteen years in

Tomski has had a career polluted

After escaping he went to Mec-

PAROLE GRANTED TO
CHARLES ISENBERG
At a session of court, on Satur-
day morning, S. D. Gettig present-
ed a petition for the parole of
Charles Isenberg, of Boalsburg, and
the same was granted, It will be
recalled that at a special session of
court, early in August Isenberg
plead guilty to two indictments
charging him with violations of the
liquor laws and was sentenced by
Judge Fleming to pay a fine of $200
and serve nine to eighteen months
in the Allegheny county work house,
on each indictment.
not been at the work house over
three weeks when authorities there
refused to keep him and he was
brought back to the Centre county
jail. Later he was taken to the
Centre County hospital where he un-
derwent an operation and it is quite
possible he may have to submit to
another. In his petition for a parole
Mr. Gettig stated that inasmuch as
Isenberg was sent to the hospital by
the county authorities the county is li-
able for the hospital bill, but his fam-
ily have agreed, if parole is granted,
to assume all further expense, The
‘court costs, fines, etc, in the case
. are now a little over $600, not count-
ing hospital bills to date. ' Judge
Fleming granted the parole on con-
dition that if Mr. Isenberg recovers
his health he must pay his fines and
- costs, and all other expenses sofa

against Julia Grove, of Milesburg,
and the discharge of the defendant.
The case dates back to January,
1927, when Miss Grove slashed a
tire on the coal truck of Roland
Smith, with a butcher knife when
the latter refused to take his truck
off the Grove pavement in Miles-
burg. The case was booked for
trial at the February term of court,
1927, and when it was called on
Wednesday morning the defendant
was not in court. Judge Keller was
on the bench and he promptly issued
a bench warrant and gave it to sher-

DEER KILL OF 1929
EQUALS THAT OF 1927
Wardens Collect $400 for
Deer Killed Illegally
The 1929 deer hunting season clos-
ed at sundown, last Saturday, and
according to estimates of game pro-
tector Thomas A. Mosier and other
wardens the Kill in Centre county
was in the neighborhood of 1500, or
about equal to the kill of 1927, which
Game
‘was _the greatest buck year in the
counity upto that time.
‘The number of deer killed illegally
this year was ‘not quite as large as
in some former years, in the neigh-
borhood of thirty, To these must be
added fifteen that were killed by
running into wire fences and being
hit by automobiles, which made
about forty-five deer carcasses that
game wardens had to dispose of.
They were distributed to all nearby
hospitals and charitable institutions
and a number shipped to other sec-
tions of the State. The total amount
of money collected in fines for ille-
gal deer killed was $1400.
This year county treasurer Lyman
L. Smith issued 6211 regular hunt.
ing licenses at $2.00 per and 80 spe-
cial licenses to hunters from other
States at $15.00 each, netting to the
State total receipts of $13,622, 1t is
rather remarkable how close the to-
tal of licenses issued is every year,
In 1927 there were 6230 regular and
85 special while last year there were
6142 regular. Of course that does
not include the special doe licenses
for 1928, of which there were 7546.
During the past two weeks the
Watchman has covered the kill made
by various hunting parties rather
completely so no attempt will be
made to duplicate such reports this
week. But a few interesting experi-
ences are timely.
Among these was that of Mrs.
John Matts, of Hannah Furnace, She
loves hunting and was out in the
mountain early in the first day
of the season but did not get
a shot. In fact her deer came
right to her doorstep. While she
was hanging out the family wash,
early last week, she saw two deer
coming along the railroad towards
her home. She ran into the house
and got her gun and when she
returned to the yard the deer were
not a stone’s throw away. Both were
bucks. She shot one and a neigh-
bor man bagged the other. Mrs,
Matt's deer was a 5-pointer and
weighed 150 pounds. Of course she
picked the biggest one,
Up in the Pine Grove Mills section
Roy Shoemaker was the last man to
get a deer, shot at sunset Saturday
evening. It was a 10-point buck
and weighed 162 pounds.
The biggest buck shot in the
county was killed on Tussey moun-
tain by J. C, Dubbs. It weighed 210
pounds and had antlers like an elk
with 12 points on them. Day hunt-
ers up in that section who got their
deer last week were H, C. Fluke, a
4-pointer; Hon. J. Will Kepler, 6-
pointer; Robert Harpster, 4-pointer,
J. A. Gummo, Ferguson township
expert trapper, not only got his buck
but so far this year has trapped 24
skunks, 10 weasels, one coon, two
opossums, three minks, three foxes
and a bear.

Centre Hall, and Mrs. Clara Burton
Calvert Smith, of Williamsport,
were quietly married, on Saturday
, evening, at the bride’s home in that
city, by Rev. Wiliam C. Watson, of
the Presbyterian church. Mrs. Lee
was formerly Miss Clara Calvert,
daughter of a prominent Lock Hav-
en business man, and was gowned in
light gray silk, with just a touch of
color to add to its striking appear-
ance. The groom is well known all
over Centre county and for some
years has been. leading a retired life
in his comfortable home at Centre
Hall,
Following the ceremony an in-
formal reception was held and
among the guests present was Miss
Marion Ethel Dale, of this place.

lations and best wishes for a very
happy matrimonial voyage for Mr.
and Mrs. Lee.
