DEATHS,
MRS, GEORGE DALE,
Saturday at one o’clock iu the after
noon, the ast spark of life passed out
of its temporal abode in the body of
Mrs. George Dale, at Dale's Summit.
Death was due to the ravages of time,
the lady having attained the age of sev-
enty-eight years. Interment was made
at Shiloh, Rev. J. I. Btonecypher, pas-
tor of the Lutheran church, officiating.
Besides the husband the following
sons and daughters survive : Horace
Christian, Rushville, Nebraska ;
Blanche E., wife of F. W. Musser, of
Bellefonte ; John 8.; Willard and Miss
Lillie, all of Dale Summit, the latter at
home.
Mrs. Dale was a descendant of the
“Moser” family who came from Seb uyl-
kill county and settled on the present
gite of Penn Hall. Her father was JJon-
as Musser, and her mother’s maiden
name was Maria Darst. She was born
at Penn Hall, her father being engag-
en in hotel keeping near where the
well known J. B. Fisher's Sons busi-
pess stand is now located, Msjor Fish-
er having purchased tue property from
George Musser, a brother of the deceas-
ed. There are now living of her broth-
ers—Michael, Rushville, Nebraska ;
William, Jewell City, Kansas ; Dan-
jel, Freeport, Illinois ; Charles, Pearl
City, Illinois, and Benjamin, Orange-
ville, Illinois.
Mr. and Mrs. Dale lived happily to-
gether for over fifty-two years on the
farm on which she died. Upon their
marriage they moved to the Dale farm
and have lived there since, a record
pot often made. She was a member
of the Lutheran church, and was also
an active worker in the organization
of the Patrons of Husbandry, accom-
panying her husband in this work
when officially and otherwise engaged
in Grange work. Bhe was domestic
in charscter, her home and children
being first to her, but was also kindly
disposed toall who made demands
upon her.
The Dale home was a most hospita-
ble one, there was always a welcome
there that was from the heart.

SBarsh J. wife of David Peters, died
at her home near the Nittuny furnace,
after an'iliness of over a year from
dropsy and diabetes.

cantile business, and for some time as

NATIVE ESKIMO CLOTHES.
————
«ght In Weight, Soft In Texture and
Absolutely Cold Proof.
When winter set In and Eskimos be-
gan to visit the ship, it soon became
apparent that they were much better
slothed to meet the cold than were the
white explorers, though the latter had
everything that money could cominand
lu the way of “an approved arctle out-
fit.” The Finnish boots, or “Finnskor,”
used by Nansen and other arctic ex-
plorers, were excelled both in light
ness and warmth by the native boots.
A single fur coat of deerskin made In
Norway weighed as much as an entire
Eskimo sult of outer and Inner gar
ments, with boots and mittens Includ-
ed, and was stiff as wet sallcloth,
while the native garments were soft
as a kid glove. A well made Eskimo
suit-socks and boots, underwear,
trousers and coat with hood —welghs
ten or eleven pounds, about as much
as your spr ag sult, and in it you
could sit comfortably on a block of
snow, with your back to the wind,
fishing through a hole in the ice, with
a temperature of 50 degrees F., as the
writer has repeatedly done, feeling
cold nowhere but on the face, the
only part of the body that must be
left uncovered. We found a deerskin
shirt with the hair turned in warmer,
lighter and more comfortable than a
woolen, and a cap unnecessary when
the hooded coat Is worn. There was
not an item of the arctic clothing that
was not advantageously replaced by
garments bought from the Eskimos,
No one wore garments of European
make If he was able to get his hands
on the Eskimo equivalent.—V, Stefans-
son in Harper's Magazine,
SPEAKING PLAINLY.
The Judge's Request and the Counsel's
Prompt Response.
A young and afterward distinguished
attorney from an up country district of
New York state was arguing his first
appeal in the old general term of the
supreme court. ' He bad been in many
legal scrimmages in justices’ courts
at home, but had never stood in the
awesome presence of five sedate and
warned judges of the supreme court
In general term assembled. His em-
barrassment was great. He repeated
himself and misplaced his words so
often that it was quite evident that he
must soon be routed by his own con
fusion unless something should occur
to break the spell. Finally, and just
as he was floundering the deepest in a
chaotic jumble of language and ideas,
the presiding judge Interrupted with
the following remark:
“Mr. Smithers, I belleve it will be a
great relief to yourself and to the court
if you will address us in the same free
and informal way that you doubtless
gse In addressing your local justice of
the peace.”
“Well, then,” replied Smithers, “1
wish that while I am busy alleviating
your honor’s dense ignorance of the
law you would keep your confounded
mouth shut!” The court laughed
heartily and waved for him to proceed.
He grew eloquent and won his case In
the midst of hearty applause.—Bohe
mian Magazine.
Some of the Trials of Writers.
Professor Lounsbury of Yale calls at-
tention to some of the difficulties of
English grammar with which writers
have constantly to struggle In their de-
sire to avoid obscurity and be correct
at the same time. In Harper's Maga-
tine Professor Lounsbury takes up the
use of “whose” as a relative pronoun
referring to inanimate objects and jus-
tiles its use since nothing better can
be devised. He discusses the use of
the singular pronoun with the word
“everybody,” as in “There everybody
met his friends” This Is manifestly
inadequate, and “his or her friends” Is
clumsy. Jane Austen, writes the pro
fessor, avoided the difficulty by using
the plural pronoun, as in her sentence,
“They say everybody is in love once
In their lives.” He thinks no satisfac-
tory solution of this problem can, In
the nature of the case, ever be reached

Hans von Bulow, the famous vader

wherein eccentricity Is common. It ix
related that one day, while walkine the
streets of Vienna, Bulow came upon

of the street and joined the
boys about the drummer. Followin
the band, he kept b®wing to the su
prised drummer, applauding him at
almost every beat,
“That Is rhythm! Excellent! That's
the way 1 like to hear it!” he continued
to ejaculate, to the surprise of all and
to the great delight of the small hoys.
Persons in the street began to recog
nize the famous planist and joined the
procession, so that the band hud one
of the largest audiences to which it
had ever played.
