CAPTAIN MARTZ, WHO LEFT
HERE IN 1 858, IS BACK
IN THE CITY AS A VISITOR
Captain Benjamin F. Martz, Civil
War veteran and plainsman of the
early seventies, is in Harrisburg
again for the first time since he
pulled out from here in ISSS. The
captain is visiting his brother. Adam
Martz, 512 Woodbine street, who
has been boss wrecker of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company in the
Harrisburg district for many years.
Captain Martz, for years a sub
scriber to the Telegraph and a good,
staunch Republican of the old school,
was around yesterday afternoon to
see the newspaper. As a boy he used
to go to school in Walnut street, and
was familiar with the old order of
tilings in this city.
"I went to that Walnut street
school when 1 was just a little fel
low," said the captain, and some of
my school fellows at that time were
Don Cameron, Joseph Sayford, Levi
Alricks and John Kunkle. I guess
they're all dead now, though, and 1
probably wouldn't remember them if!
1 saw them. Jacob F. Kyster was a
teacher at the school then, and a
fellow named Connolly."
"Harrisburg sure has changed
some since I was last here. I never I
did expect 1 was going to ggt back I
but I'm awful glad I'm here. Going

Helen Keller is in the movies.
"You can watch her story unfold i
in 'Deliverance,' see her as a little
child, stumbling. speechless, unable |
to hear her mother's voice calling her
indoors, the pathos does make your I
heart ache. But when you see lier,
keen, alert, happy, interested in
everything in the orwld, her buoy
ancy creeps into your own blood."
"I am faraid I look n.uch more!
beautiful on the screen than I really j
am." she said, sitting beside Mrs. !
Anne Sullivan Mary, her companion :
and teachtr for 30 years. It was the
day after I had seen "Deliverance,"
and I scarcely knew what questions
to ask first. With Mrs. Macy speak- I

quickly that it was impossible to feel
strange and awkward.

The captain was in Phladelphia

In later years he has been living at
Missouri, Mont., a town of over 15,-

one of the liveliest and most up-to

four sons is an editor of a Missouri
paper.
The captain will be here for some
time. Later he expects to go back
to Missouri.

thoughtfully.
She broke oft to say something to
her secretary, who was busy opening
letters, telephoning, trying to save
Miss Keller a few of the countless
Intrusions upon her time.
"Polly (that Is, Miss Thompson, my
secretary) Is a great comfort to me.
She knows how to be polite and firm,
without offending puople who want
me to make addresses. 1 love speak

1 "The Live Store" "Always Reliable " II
9 Mark Twain once said that "the weather'' is talked about more than 1
any other subject, yet nobody seems to do anything about it,. "Service" is something like that;
everybody talks about it, but very few do anything about it. We're doing something. We're giving you the best
merchandise on the market and we're backing it with a "reinforced concrete" guarantee of satisfaction or money
Did you ever hear anyone say they could furnish good references?—and almost
anybody can get quite a few of them if they take the time and trouble to do it, but wouldn't you rather prove
that you are worthy and equal to the occasion than have a whole bushel basket of recommendations? Promises very often are
soon forgotten, but when you come to this "Live Store" and spend your well earned money, we see to it that you get all that you
expect for that money. We back up all we agree to do. We have been selling on this basis ever since we started in business.
