A LESSON ON BICYCLES,
Evidently Some Rasen! Had Been Stufiing
the Old Gentleman,
“Wall, I'll be dinged ef you hain’t
got one on ’em, too I" remarked an old
gentleman from the Western part of
the county, as he stepped inton Lock
Haven man’s office Saturday and
caught sight of the proprietor's bicy-
cle, says the Lock Haven Republican.
“Say,” continued the old gentleman,
as he curiously eyed the ‘cycle, “is
that one o’ them wind masheens that
run themselves, er d’you have to pump
‘er along yourself ?"’
“Have to pump 'er myself,” replied
the owner, whereupon the caller con-
tinued:
| “Wall, ef I was gittin’ one o' them
{things I reckon I'd want one o’ the
{ kind that you pump full o’ wind an’
it runs itself. I met a young fellar out
east of town ridin’ on one and he
showed me how it worked. His was a

More Money in It.
There are farmers in this county
who have harvested from 150 to 200
loads of hay. This hay, when baled
will bring from twelve to fourteen dol
lars on cars. Most of the surplus hay
will be baled and shipped. Farmers
are beginning to find that raising hay
is far more profitable than wheat, and
the number of acres put out in wheat
will shrink with each year, on account
of its no more being a profitable crop,
| nor any prospect of becoming so in the
| future. Wheat at high prices, Is a
thing of the past, and farmers will
turn their attention to hay or some-
thing else.

Death from a Snake Bite,
The Shaffer's Valley correspondent
of the New Bloomfield Advocate tells
how, while out playing, a two-year-old
child of Jesse Kiner, of Shaffer Valley,
was bitten three times by a snake.
The little one was alone when bitten
and went into the house sobbing, but
unable to make known what was the
matter. Soon after swelling began
and the cause was determined. The
child lingered in agony for about thir
ty-six hours when death came to its
relief.

A Reduction.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
ny will build this year at its shops in
Altoona 100 locomotives. This is
quite a reduction as compared with
the previous years, when the number
was from 230 to 340. While the num-
ber of locomotives to be constructed is
less than at other times, owing to the
financial stringency, the standing of
the rolling equipment is maintained.

The crop of huckleberries does not
seem to be a very abundant one from

STRANGE DEATH.
Fouad Unconscious in a Graveyard, Mis De-

A sad and mysterious death occur-
red st Centreville, Bnyder county, re-
cently.
Aaron Moyer, u prosperous farmer
of Centreville, missed his son, Clinton,
sixteen years of age, at breakfast time
the other morning. The father and
brother of the boy started in pursuit
in different directions. It seems that
the boy left home the evening previ
ous, having first eaten two plates of
ice cream. He was seen in company
with two of his companions and was
found unconscious in a graveyard in
the afternoon of the day of his disap-
pearance. That night he died.
fore he died, however, he rallied suffi-
ciently tosay that he had drank liquor,
and said that he would tell the rest
the next day, but expired immediately
thereafter.
The cause of death has not yet been
satisfactorily explained. A black
mark appears on the side of the boy's
head.
