The seventh cutting from a plat of
four acres of alfalfa yielded seven fair
gized two horse loads. The bulk will
make at least eight tons of mow-oured

The much needed rain came along
Monday morning. Corn, oats, barley,
potatoes and the grasses have since
been smiling.
By the score of 20to 8 the Rebers-
burg Junior base ball team defeated
the Centre Hall Juniors at the former
place Baturday afternoon.
Miss Ids Daughenbasugh, of near
Howard, saw a rattle suake near her
home, and hurriedly procured a shot
gun and dispatched his snakeship.
The reptile was three feet in length,
and had ten rattlers,
C. HH, Dildine, of Orangeville, Co-
lumbis county, was the guest of Hon.
L. Rhone for several days, returning
home Wednesday. Mr, Dildine is an
extensive farmer, and is chairman of
the executive committee of the Pennp-
sylvania Btate Grange.
James CC. Gilliland, of Osk Hall
Station, accompanied by his little son,
James C, Gilliland, Jr., was in Centre
Hall Thursday of last week. Mr, Gil-
liland is deeply interested in the suc-
cess of the Democratic county ticket,
and like all good thinking Democrats
believes that the candidates are such
that ought to receive the undivided
support of the party. And in this he
is most certainly right.

Gearless hay loader sold by J. H. & 8B.
E. Weber, of Centre Hall, on examin-
ing it said the machine of that con-
struction had earned the nickname of
* push loader, ”’ because it pushed the
hay forward on the wagon, and did
away with the necessity of having a
man stationed at the delivery to Keep
the hay from being drawn to the
ground again, This one superior
feature was sufficient to place the
“push loader’ first among the
farmers of his section.
Jacob Lee, Jr., the Linden Hall rail-
road station agent, accompained by
Mrs. Lee and little children, drove to
Centre Hall Thursday evening of last
week for the purpose of purchasing
furniture, and while hers called on
friends. Mr. Lee has taken his fourth
student since he is gt Linden Hall
station in the person of Fred Brown,
of Tusseyville, and he expresses great
satisfaction over the fact that the
young men who have been under him
were both successful in securing good
places in the railroad service and be
coming useful men. The three men
who preceded Mr. Brown are George
Meyer, John Shook and Merrill Miller,
Mr, and Mrs. B. F. Zieber, of Belle-

day and until Monday were the guests
of the family of the writer. Mr. Zie-
ber is a native of Boyder county, but
went west with his parents when but
a small boy, and this is his second trip
east. Mra. Zieber is a cousin of the
writer, and is the granddaughter of
George Kopp, who went west from
Centre Hill about sixty-five years ago,
traveling overland. Grandfather Kopp
and family lived on and owned the
farm recently vacated by James B.
Strohm, taking with him his entire
family, except the mother of the edi-

made overland in covered wagons.
On reaching the Ohio border, the
head of the family expressed disgust
over the appearance of the country,

a definite point upon which to settle,

Religion Is n matter of the heart and
life. The holy mysteries of faith can.
not be taught in the atmosphere of
mathematics, but should be taught in
the church, But it may be sald that
the public school needs all the time it
pow has, This is true, but it Is pay-
ing too high a price to give time to
intellectual training at the cost of re-
ligion. Some will say that christian
parents’should be awakened to their
duties and teach their children things
religious iu the home. Very true, but
are they always capable of dolog it?
Some will say the ministers could not
attend to this through the week, as
they are over-taxed already. Again,
trained teachers are wanting for the
week ‘day period. Perhaps the chil-
dren will not come. The answer to
all this is : What ought to be doue,
can be done. This is as true as what a
man is to be, he can re Pastors will
find time ; trained teachers will be
found ; the children will come. Re
ligious instruction can be made inter
esting to children, so that they will
want to come.
Another plan of great promise 1s the
religious day school held during vaca-
tion time, I'his has been tried in the
state of Wisconsin and has been suo
cessful. Itis held in church every
day from 8 to 4 hours, for two and
three weeks. Children and youth
from six to twenty years of age attend,
Great good has come from these
schools.
More and more I am convinced that
the Bunday School, with all its splen-
did work today is not meeting the re
quirements of religious instruction.
The church must hold itself respon-
sible for the religious education of the
children and youth in the Bunday
School and through the Bunday School
on the week day.
The whole moral and religious na-
tute of the child is open to religious
inatruction. Religious education
should, therefore, dominate, irspire
aud consecrate all other education,

A Curious Cipher Code.
Prisoners confined in different parts
af jall often use cipher codes lu come
wmunieating with one another Iu the
Kansas Clty jail some years ngo the
officials came across a hard one A
fellow named Turner, In for forgery
jluvented the puzzle. The writing was
on long narrow strips of paper, ou the
edge of which were letters and parts
of letters that apparently bad no con-
nection and from which no words
could be formed. One day a deputy
who was passing the cell of a prisoner
saw him passing a long strip of paper
around an octagon lead pencil Ile
took the paper away, and on it were
the mysterious scrawle that had wor
ried the keepers. But the deputy got
ah idea from this, and, going back to
the office, he wrapped the strip around
an octagon shaped lead pencil and
after several trials adjusted It so that
the parts of the letters fitted together
and made a sentence, though the writ-
Ing was very fine. The writer had
adopted the simple but ingenious pian
of covering the pencil with paper and
hgd then written along one of the fiat
sides. On unrolling it the writing was
as mystical as a ceryptogram, but when
put around the pencil as it was origi
pally It could be easily understood.
Why.
There Is something almost plaintive
in the truly English word “why.” It
may be indefinitely prolonged upon the
lps. “Why” Is almost poetical In it
self and fitly Introduces the best hex-
ameter in the language:
“Why do the heathen rage and the
people linagine a valn thing?
Its uses in poetry are almost infinite,
and one modern writer makes almost a
line of it alone:
Why do the night winds sigh,
The sea birds wildly ery,
The summer clouds pass by,
The lilies droop and die,
The light fade from the sky?
Why-oh, why?
To most of the whys there is not a
good because. The Inquiring mind is
puzzied to account for many things
besides its own existence. Hundreds
of such questions occur to us at every
step, amd no satisfactory reply
expected. Life Is too short
was always saying “Why” and
have all heard of the man who called
