The fact this paragraph in a letter written to William under date of January 5, 1761. This day after many writing, watchings, solicitings and dis- putes in council, my country has coa- firmed to me under the great seal of Eogland, with large powers and privil. eges, by the name of Pennsylvania, a name which the King woald give it in favor of my father. I chose New Wales, being a hilly county, and when the sec- retary, a Welshman, refused to call it New Wales, I proposed Sylvania, and they added Penn to it, though I was much opposed to it and went to the King to bave it struck out. He said that it was passed and he would take it upon him. impres. owes its name to In point of fact, miral is proved by Penn Sent to Bellefonte. Mrs. Michael Farrell, whose husband was a bridge carpenter, and who was killed at Elmira, N.

A Remarkable Story of Canine Ine telligence and Affection. Among the tales told of the Intell gence and affection of our canine friends by Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton in her book, “Our Devoted Friend, the Dog.” Is the story of Dan, a deerhound owned by Mr. L. C, Meachamp of Homer, La Mr. Meachamp was one dey going on a squirrel hunt and, not wishing Dai. to accompany him, tied the dog to a post by a rope. Dan whined and beg ged, but finding his master obdurate he at last lay down quietly before his kennel, It was growing dusk and time for the hunter to return, when Mrs. Men champ was suddenly disturbed by the whining and barking of the dog, who had been quiet all day up to that tine. She spoke to the dog, but instead of being pacified at this attention he reo doubled his exertions and broke the rope which held him. Then he bound d away, over the fence and into the woods, He was gone perhaps baif an hour when he came running back, panting and almost breathless, with his mas ter's hat In his mouth, Mrs. Meachamp became at once alarmed, and, calling her son, they rot off to find the missing man, Dan + the time bounding abea and leadin- the way.

FEBRUARY 12, HOW A MAN DROWNS, fhe Remon He Sometimes Comes Threw Times to the Surface, Few popular fallacies are of such wide extent as the belief that a person must rise to the surface three times, no more und no less, before he can pos sibly drown There Is little ground for this sup position, although It has been almost universally belleved In for generations. The truth Is that a drowning person may sink the first time pever to rise kguin, or he may, as he indeed does in the majority of cases, rise three times before he slnks forever, It all depends upon the quantity of water that be swallows when he sinks and the size of his lungs, The human body in life naturally floats while the lungs inflated, As long one [ TEE head above the surface of the water he up, with out lhvving to move hand or foot, $id fn person sinks he gulps and Imbibes a quantity of water If after he has swallowed water he bas any alr In his lungs, he will un doubtedly rise again and will continue to sink and rise alternately until all the air Is expelled from hls lungs, when he will drow: In nu of an nee are his ns can float, face fis SOON as 11 the vietim water wl Cis frightened ident swallows enough Ks to leave him In a Lion, but when he as there he soon the | Hie description he bridal i gown and the troussean and the flowers and the wed ding presents, and the objective point of the tour, and of bridesmaids and the officiating clergy- man and “Who Is bridegroom 7 rupted the city editor. “His name has been printed four different ways in the preliminary announcements “The groom?’ faltered the young woman, “Why-—-why-1 forgot to ask about him, and I guess nobody else thought of him, except maybe the bride." the names the the reception days™ t! ae inter. Not What He Wanted. A young man at the risk of his life saved a beautiful young girl from drowning. Her grateful father seized the rescuer of his daughter by the hand and In a wvolce tremulous with emotion sald “Noble youth, to you | am indebted for everything that makes life dear to me Which reward will you take- £100,000 or the hand of my daughter?’ “I'll take the daughter,” replied the heroic rescuer, thinking thereby to get both the girl and the money. “You have well chosen,” replied the grateful father “1 could not have given you the £100,000 just yet In any case, as | have not yet saved that amount, being only a poor editor, but my daughter Is yours for life.

WHAT HE THOUGHT OF HIM A Postal Card Serial Story and a Lost Sulit For Slander. A certain Kansas man, so the story goes, wanted to tell a neighbor what be thought of him without laying him. self open to a suit for damages. 80 he hit on the plan of sending him each day a postal card with only one word written on it In a large hand, in addi. tion to the date obscurely tucked away in & corner, The person receiving the cards ree ognized the handwriting and, suspect Ing something, kept them until they stopped coming, when he read them consecutively in the order of thelr re ception. What he read was, “Ridien. lous old Bill Jones is the meanest cuss in town,” and he at once instituted a sult for slander against the sender. The latter's lawyer, however, called attention to the fact that the postal card containing “ridiculous,” though malled first, was dated the day after the date of the ecard having the word “town.” Moreover, a careful inspection would show that after the word “rl diculous” was an exclamation point, and after the word “town” was an in. terrogation mark, so that the series of postal cards might be made to read; “Old Bill is the meanest cuss in town? Ridiculous!” He claimed, therefore, that instead of slandering the plaintiff his client had defended him from sian. der, and this plea was sustained by the court, But, all the same, everybody in tows insisted that the first reading of the eards was the correct one, so that the is universal the cheroot writer attained his object.

He was doing duty as a provost guard at the time. It was late at night when the soldiers were roused by the quick, clear crack of a Krag- Jorgensen on the outskirts of the camp. No particular attention was paid to the matter at first, as only one shot was fired. But with a couple of offi cers we went out to where the guard was stationed in order to find out just why It was that he had fired at that time of night. He explained that he had seen a man slipping through the bushes distance away and had called on to halt He falled to obey the and the guard blazed away at him, more to frighten him stop then anything else Of course, the fellow never halted.
