tor in the R. O. T. C. and an office

BREAK GROUND FOR
TROOP I'S NEW ARMORY},
The Tidlow Bros. contractors of
Lock Haven, broke ground, on Tues-
day afternoon, for the new military |
reservation for Troop L, on the site !
recently acquired east of Bellefonte.
The Tidlow Bros. have the contract
for the erection of the administra-
tion building, while the contract for
the stables will not be awarded un-
til May 7th. :
Instead of a two story administra-
tion building, as at first planned,
the State Armory Board has direct-
ed that a large one-story brick
building be erected, and close in-
spection of the plans has caused
the officers and members of the
Troop to lock more favorably on
the one-story building than the
other.
The building is a to be 65x44
feet and rectangular in shape, with
a concrete basement under all, large
enough to accommodate storage of
property, Etc. The administration
Gray—Ward.—Carl G. Gray, son of
Mr. and Mrs. G. Oscar Gray, and
Miss Julia Cornelia Ward, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ward, were
quietly married at the parochialires-
idence of St. John’s Catholic church,
at 1:30 o'clock on Saturday after-
noon, by Rev... W. E. Downes. Im-
mediately following the ceremony
the young couple motored to ‘Al-
toona where they spent the night,
returning to Bellefonte on Sunday
morning: in time for the Easter
church services. .
‘"'A"wedding dinner was served at
‘the bride’s home, on north Spring
‘street, on Sunday, and that evening
‘the newly married pair were taken
to Lewistown by Mr, and Mrs. Gray,
‘where they embarked on the train
for Newark, N. J, where they had
‘a ' furnished apartment awaiting
their coming. The bride for several
years past has been a clerk in the
Haines shoe store conducted by her
father. Mr. Gray is a graduate of
State College and now holds a good
position with the Western Electric
company, at Newark, where they
will make their future home.
—One of the busiest places in
Bellefonte, last Saturday, was the
florist shop of Halfmoon Gardens,
on High street. In addition to Mr.
and Mrs, Tabel several clerks were
kept busy satisfying the demand for
Easter flowers. It was a noticeable
fact, however, “that the public in
general bought the cheaper va-
rieties, and that there was no great
demand for Easter lilies. Over
four hundred hyacinths were sold
at the store and upwards of three
thousand tulips counting six to a
dozen in a pot, three hundred lillies
and one hundred hydrangeas.
Among the cut flowers sold were
bouquets - of roses, snapdrag ns,
carnations, sweet peas and violets,
but the stock on hand was not
anyways near exhausted. In the
gardens there are now growing ten
thousand cabbage plants and an
equal number of tomato plants.

——G. Fred Musser, of Philadel.
phia, who, with Mrs, Musser, has
been with friends at State College
the past two weeks, has had his
share of thrills fishing for trout on
Spring creek since the opening of
the season. On his first cast on the
morning of the .fifteenth a fifteen
linch trout jumped a foot out of wa-
ter and took his fly with such force
that it broke his rod, but the trout
was securely hooked and he simply
pulled him out of the stream. A 14.
inch, a 12-inch and four between
eight and nine inches made up his
initial catch. On Monday morning
he again went out and an 18-inch
trout took his first cast and also
broke his rod, but he succeeded in
landing him and when he dressed
the trout he found inside of it a
9-inch chub.
Judge M. Ward Fleming is
out in Pittsburgh, \nis week, hold-
ing court, and the janitors at the
court house are taking advantage
of his absence to give his chambers
a thorough house-cleaning. And a
continuation of their work in the
main court room would not be
amiss, as the. carpet inside ‘the bar
buildings’ main floor will house the
Troop officer's locker rooms, toilet '
and shower bath rooms, and rifle
room all on the right side of the |
building. The entire left side is
taken up by a large club room and
a school room. A pleasing and at-
tractive feature about this room will
be a huge fireplace in one end. j
The stables will be about 150% |
40 feet and large enough toaccom- |
modate the Troop’s thirty-five head
of horses. A harness and saddle
room is to be built into the stables, !
together with a room for caretakers. |

“Cook’” was a carriage painter in Mec-
Quistion’s shop when we knew every
corner and person on ‘‘Cheapside.” The
place was one of our hangouts and,
naturally, we got to know him well.
They were all friendly to the loafers
down at McQuistion’s shop and probably
because ‘‘Cook’’ was the youngest em-
ployee there he was the one we warmed
up to most. It might have been because
he had a bit of devilment in himself and
winked often at ours. However that
may be is just one of those fellows we'll
never forget. He lived at Milesburg then
and left this section tn 1904 to accept
a paining job in the National Car and
Foundry plant at Berwick and is still
at it. He came up for a visit of a day
