A Reliable Wheel,
“Well my son,” said theleditor of the
Danville Breeze to his son, who want-
ed a wheel *‘you’ll find one in the front
end of the wheelbarrow, and there is g
big pile of coal ashes back of the house
that will have to be moved. The han-
dle bars are of white ash and are ad-
justable, so you can get any style of
hump on that suits your fancy. It is
regulated largely by the load you put
on.
bave to hump yourself. Be careful
and keep the ball bearing well oiled so
they won't cut into the cones. The
tire is absolutely punctureless, so you
won't have to take a pump and repair
kit with you, By the time you have
removed that pile of ashes I think you
will have made a century run—also the
perspiration. You'd better come in to
dinner now.”

May Lose It.
Bellefonte has awakened from its in-
difference and is now. getting a hustle
on to keep the teachers’ institute from
being taken out of the town. Philips.
burg made a big effort last year to have
it held in that town, but Bellefoute
won. The coal town has been making
a hard drive to get it again, and are
playing strong cards that will make
Bellefonte do some lively work to stay
on top.

Working on the Grounds,
The last week the grangers have had
several men at work getting the build-
ings and grounds in shape for the pie-
nic week after next. The tents will
arrive next week, and from now on
there will be a steady increase in the
bustle about the Park. Strangers are
becoming more numerous in the town
aud the effects are felt already.
—Lewins, Bellefonte, is making the
greatest cut sale of all lines of summer
clothing in the country, and every ar-
ticle offered is a genuine bargain. The
prices have been cut in half and the
goods are going rapidly. His count-
ers must be cleared for new stock and
price cuts little figure when a clear-
