SURPRISE FEEBLE
OLD BROTHER Ai
SISTER WEAR LYKENS
Farmers and Miners Carry Good
Things to Eat to
Aged Pair
Special to The Telegraph
Lykens. Pa., Sept. 7.—More than a
hundreds farmers and miners, their
wives and children of Bis Run and
I<oyalton. two small towns near here,
retailed that old saying about "the
better the day, the better the deed."
etc., when they decided upon yesterday
as the date for the famous surprise
party way up in "Muzzle Rats." Arm
strong Valley.
The farther one goes In that par
ticular direction the wilder and more
lonesome grows the country; aged
Jacob and Mary Sehwenk live almost
in the last little habitation. Perched
on the slopes, the Shwenks —brother
and sister —live miserably In a tiny
shack. He is seventy-two; she Is
eighty. Neither are able to work and
the question of how to exist during the.
summer, much less in the winter, has
been a heart-breaking problem for the
old people. But the farmers of Loyal
ton and Big Run remembered.
Tlie Big Surprise
So yesterday«svas decided upon as the
time for the big surprise and som<!
seventy-five dollars' worth of foods
and good things the old folks needed
were loaded on wagons, along witrt
the donors, and the caravan went to
the Muzzle Rats. Rather a pitiable
host and hostess met them—the latter
was so enfeebled that she could
scarcely do more than crawl about on
her hands and knees.
And after the immediate needs of
the pair had been looked after and
the larder for the future was so
crammed full of things as to relieve
Sehwenk and his sister from further
anxiety for some time to come—the
members of the great surprise party
held a little jollification picnic to
celebrate.
