These are absolutely accurate accounts of what happened—in “Domino's” mind | therefore no one will rise to ques- tion a single statement, for “Domino” | was ever regarded as a truthful man By way of explanation, a very few of | our readers may not know who “Dom- ino” is. We would say that he is the | famous correspondent of The Centre Democrat from Unionville, who for some years past has favored our read- | ers with his entertaining letters which rival Jules Verne in imagination, and even outclass Don Quixote in chivalry and conquests To mre definite “Domino” is none other than George Washington Rumberger, of Fleming, Pa., familiarly known as “Rummy” at the Court House, where | a- siinally assisting County Treasurer, John D. Miller, as Deputy Nearly erybody in Centre county, and many scattered far and wide, are indebted to “Domino” for the royal entertain- ment his writings have afforded them in the past It al rder to that “Domino’ humorous per of Pennsylvanis day his pay Editor.)

So, on last Thursday morning, I entered my car in the diamond of the town in the presence of a large number of cit- fzens, closed the doors, took hold of the wheel, gave it a few turns and up we went like a balogn on a calm day. | After floating around for a few min- | utes, much to the pleasure of the on- | lookers below, 1 made a bee-line for! Philipsburg. 1 set the pace at ten miles an hour that might get to the city about ten o'clock cord- | ing to a pre-arrangement Josiah | Pritchard, the Chief Burgess, he had advertised my expected arrival at that hour, by large flaming posters all over town and a platform ted In their public park my landing was, however late from fact that I was detained, at half hour at the beautiful Sim Batchelor, about a mile the city on the Tyrone Batchelor was just milk and I noticed an inch to an inch and a half of water in the bottom of every can. [ sald to him, “why do you leave so much wat- er in each can?" “To satisfy the pure food law,” he said ‘Demonstrate,” sald I. “Why you see” sald he "un- der the pure food law we dare not put any water In our milk under a heavy fine and imprisonment, so this] way I'm putting the milk in the water See?” Applause! Sim had a fine calf in his barn yard and he told his son | John to be sure and salt the calf. Next morning John took a pan of salt, sat- urated it with water and spread It all over the calf and, do you know, that before evening, the other cattle actually “licked” that calf to death My next landing place was out at Cold Stream. While I was sitting In my car in front of Ed. Greist's resi- dence, 1 saw two gentlemen coming in from Cold Stream. They seemed to be very friendly and sociable, walk- ing along very leisurely with linked arms, chatting and laughing, and as they approached 1 recognized them to | be John B. Long and Gurnee Freeman. Mr. Long had a checker board under his arm and a chip on his shoulder. 1 quickly jumped out of my car and, | after a happy greeting, I sald to John | B. “T'll just lift that chip off your | shoulder” “All right I'll go you" sald he. So we went In on Ed's porch and In less than three minutes I “skunk- ed” him three games. That knocked the enthusiasm out of John B. He threw his checkers and board away and started down town and as he caught hold of Gurnee's arm he mut- | tered something about some fellows think they're awful smart. I then got on my car and rose to the height of 200 feet and sailed down over the city and the birdseye view! I had of this pretty town was one of the prettiest sights I ever saw, The park and streets in every direction | were crowded with the excited popu- lace, cheering as they never cheered before. After giving them an exhibl- | tion of my skill, performing many | fancy girations, 1 sailed directly over the platform that had been erected In the South Park, and then dropped down as gingerly as a thistle down. It was then, when I emerged from my ship and stood up on the platform be- fore them, that the crowd gave vent to their enthusiasm by screaming cheer after cheer for fully ten min- utes. Chief Burgess Pritchard then came on the platform and delivered the address of welcome, He started out about as follows: “Most noble oir! It is with feelings of no unex- traordinary soliciticibility and internal commotionality that, in behalf of my fellow citizens, I welcome you to our beautiful city, ete, ete” 1 then re- sponded In a neat little speech, couch ed in the most beautiful language, af- ter which five of the prettiest ladies I ever saw came on the platform and sang “ Hail to the Chief.” It was the happiest hour of my life. 1 would not have exchanged slippers with Wood- row Wilson for five dollars “to boot.” At the request of Frank Haines I taken my out I 850 A had for a little SO pike ‘straining” that he left from his | ! | | | | | | in Centre County. {out of his pocket and said, | Hancock, tis what into i bee | plant | “Yank | lenges me { erful restorative and (1 of ms KESA | posed in front he “snapped to business, Later, | taken orders for 713 myself and air ship at After the meeting at Journed I received scores of tions from citizens to dine with but excused myself saving a little lunch with me Andrews and Dr. Henderson and eral others offered to take me around the city in their automobiles but also begged to be excused as 1 many calls to make, I thought would travel on "Shank's express.” ter securing police protection Burgess Pritchard and a guard for while 1 was away, 1 started town I met Frank Bair just gite the Journal office. After a hearty handshake he pulled slip of paper “Say, Dom- ino, I want your advice. Read this local I have written for our paper and tell me what you think of it—would you publish it?" This was the “lo cal”. “As I was collecting local news this morning 1 found a young kneading her bread with her gloves ono. 1 need bread with my pants on; I need bread with my boots on; and if the delinquent don't pay up I will need i thing on.’ “Good” said I, I publish it.

M Mellick, the druggist, had brought out some pow- suceeeded In re- suscitating him and, as he sat up on the street, he looked around in a daz- ed condition and asked, “Where am 1 at? Dr. Mellick then took him into his store and put an Aunty Flogestine plaster on the back of his head which | was somewhat contused, and told him ito go home and lie down a few hours, and assured him that he was not fa- tally Injured. Before he left for home “set up” the chewing gum and, as we grasped hands he sald, “Let us have peace.” I then went into the First National Bank for the purpose of getting my own check cashed, but John Fryber- ger, the cashier, refused to cash It unless I would get an endorser, so | went out and got my good old friends Mr. Geo, W. McOaffey, Charley Row- land and Harry M. Loraine to endorse my check. Then, of course, the cash- fer cashed it. It was for $1.19 cents, He charged 7 cents discount. Having concluded to go home by way of Ty- rone on the traln I went down to the depot and offered to swap my aliship for a ticket to Unionville, but Alex. Plerce, the agent, said “not for Joe; the R.
