Character
In Footwear
Character in Fooowear?
Certainly-—why not!
Character in persons—why not
in shoes as well?
Every pair of Mingle Shoes has
character —plenty of it—and of that
distinetive sort which leaves its im-
print upon the dress of every wearer.
It is conceded by almost every-
one that Mingle Footwear for men
is the standard for excellence—
The Best that Skill Can Produce
Or Money Buy.
Every endeavor is made to advance
that standard—that’'s why Mingle
shoes lead all shoedom. No question
of doubt ever enters into the buying of
them. Their wearers have learned to
expect frdm them infinite satisfaction
—the greatest possible amount of wear
—the smartest stylishness—the most
comfort.
All these points of superiority will
become known to you after you put on
a pair and test them.
See the new winter styles in Men's
Footwear for every day wear and for
dress. An inspection should make
you a convert without hesitation.

Stover Falis 80 Feet Unhurt
Harry Stover, a boilermaker, of Cole-
ville, while at work at Bellefonte, on
Tuesday, fell a distance of 80 feet with-
out sustaining the slightest injuries.
At the plat of the Bellefonte Furnace
Company a new 75-foot stack was be-
ing put up. The last section had been
hoisted in place, and Stover, standing
on an extension ladder, which was
held in place by a rope lashed around
the stack, was doing the riveting.
Just as he drove the first rivet the
rope broke and the ladder toppled out-
ward, doubled and fell to the ground
with a erash,
With the agility of a cat, Stover
swung himself feet downward and
alighted ou the ground in an upright
position, without receiving a scratch,
and not even being stunned by the
fall of almost 80 feet. In five minutes
Stover was back at work again.
He informs us it was a record break-
ing time he made and no stops on the
trip.

A Peculiar Spring.
The Bellefonte News says out along
Marsh Creék, on the old Robert Gun-
sallus farm are two springs. The one
flows on and on, as any well ordered
spring ought to flow, but its compan
fon, which is only sixty feet distant,
has for years acted so strangely as to
class it among nature's greatest freaks,
The flow from the one spring has nev-
er been Known to dry up, while that
from the other ceases every morning
at 0 o'clock and it remains stagnant
until 4 o'clock in the evening, when
the stream of crystal water gushes
forth again and ripples away until 9
the next morning.
Announce Early,
Those intending having public sale
this epring will do well to select a date
early in the season and put it in the’
RerorTer's sale registry. Considera-
ble annoyance, be averted and »
good day secure d whien there is time.
There is every prospect of a large num-
ber of sales during the coming spring
and there'll be a scramble for dates,
