TARGEY WUN KILLS HOY,
Brotherr, Young in Yearr, © Shoox Mark’
With 22 valibre Kifle When Shot Finds
ita Mark In Head of Younger Mrother,—
Pleasant Gap the Scene of Acoldent,
The target gun, in the hands of
youngsters, claimed another victim on
Tuesaday evening when Allen Helsey,
eleven-year-old son of Harry Heisey,
of Pleasant Gap, died in the Bellefonte
hospital a few hours after his brother
Chester Helsey, aged fifteen years,
shot him in the head when the boys
were ‘‘shooting mark” near the
Bamuel Zsttle place. The circum-
stances surrounding the shooting are
not definitely known, but that it was
purely accidental and brought about
in the same manner that has charac-
terized dozens of similar killings of
the innocent, is undoubtedly true.
The gun was a .22 calibre, the ball
entering the head near the temple.
The lad never regained consciousness.

A Democratic Demonstration,
The demonstration Tuesday night
in Bellefonte over the re-election of
President Wilson was full of enthusi-
asm ard tremerd.ous in size—the
largest ever held in the county.
There were more people in the parade
and more cn the sluewalks cheering
than in thé recollection of men of
fifty. The bavpers were numerous
and the inscriptions caused merriment
or serious thought as occasion de-
manded. The crowd was altogether
in good bumo’, the drawn faces not
being sufficient to interfere with the
intent of the great gathering.

PRIMROSE LONG A FAVORITE
Many Poets Mave Written of the Flow
or, But Only Ghekcevpoare Roally
Their Bubject,
The poets quoted in the Office Win-
dow writes a correspondent, should
not mean that the primrose is dell
cate, but merely that its time of flow-
never possess the fullress of the later
sunshine. But unlike these easily sen-
timental poets (Milton, forgive me)
Shakespeare alone is quite explicit.
Shakespeare alone has the natural
fact at heart and identifies natural
fact with divine poetry. Spencer's
“untimely tempest” and Hilton's “for
saken” are both false, for tempest is
not untimely but timely during the
primrose’s life; and the primrose is
not “forsaken” any more than a young
virgin 1s forsaken. Shakespeare ev-
ery time. Shakespeare forever,
The primrose of old was credited
with a medicinal as well as a super
stitious value. dven now in some
country parts a decoction of primrose
leaves is supposed to restore a fall
ing memory, and in 16564, when Cul
peper wrote his “London Dispensa
tory,” the primrose was regarded as
an almost universal panacea, curing
“convulsions, falling sickness, palsies,
and strengthening “the brain,
senses and memory excedingly.” And
the healthy did not disdain ta
eat it, for primrose pasty was once a
ular Lancashire delicacy. After
