NO DISCOUNT ON PIES
Yet It Seemed as Though. Considering,
There Should Have Been
Mrs. Hannah Fifer, a widow, who
earned her living by rentiug rooms for
light housekeeping, had the reputation
of being a shrewd manager and much
inclined to carry economy to the
farthest possible poiut. Siie was hard
working withal aud seemed never to
reach the end of her daily labor. On
a certain day Mrs. Castle, one of the
"light housekeepers," finding a surplus
of time on her hands, kinu.y offered
to help Mrs. Fifer out with iier over
flow of work.
"Well, if you feel like it, 1 wouldn't
care if you'd take hold aud bake me
up a couple of pies," Mrs. Fifer con
ceded. "That'll tielji me a lot. There's
a bowl of apple sauce that I'm afraid
won't keep it it ain't used soon."
After Mrs. Caustic had begun work
Mrs Fifer appeared with a supplemen
tary suggestion.
"While you're about it," said she,
"mebbv you wouldn't mind baking
four pies. 'Twon't take any more ccat
to ba.ke four than two, and that'll be
a saving. You can make the filling hold
out by having lots of juice to it."
Mrs. Castle agreed to the amendment
and worked away industriously until
her task was accomplished, when,
wearied with her labors, she retired to
her own apartment.
In a ahort time Mrs. 'Fifer'a small
daughter, Peggy, appeared at her duor.
'' Ma says,'' reported Peggy, '' that
she don't b'lieve she'll be able to use
all them four pies before they dry out,
a"tid She wants to know if you won't,
buy two of 'em off her for 20 cents
and sh*'d like the 20 cents right away, 4
please.''
Mrs. Castle bought the pies, observ
ing to herself with a dry smile, "She
might have let me have two for 15
cents —considering.'' Youth's Com

FAMOUS FOR WBAIT
Actreeg Tells How to Obtain It
Madame Rose, the well-known actress
who played on one of the leading
vaudeville circuits the past winter and
who is especially noted for her long,
beautiful hair, in a recent interview in
Chicago made the following statement:
"Any lady or gentleman can promote
the growth of their hair and make it
soft and glossy with this simple recipe
which they can mix at home. To a half
pint of water add 1 oz. of bay rum, a
small box of Barbo Compound and
Vi oz. of glycerine. Apply to the scalp
two or three times a week with tho
finger tips. This is not only the finest
hair grower I have ever known, but it
prevents the hair from falling out, re
moves dandruff and scalp humors,
darkens streaked, faded gray hair and
makes it soft and'glossy. The ingredi
ents can be purchased at any drug
store at very little cost." —Adv.

MUNCH APPLES TOCETHER
All Is Harmonious When Dr. Brum
baugh and His Erstwhile Rival for
Office Come Together at Meeting
of the State College Trustees
\\ hen Governor Brumbaugh stepped
into the office of .John Price Jackson,
Commissioner of Labor and Industry,
at t lie Capitol yesterday afternoon to
attend the meeting of State College
trustees he met for the first time bis
opponent in last fall's campaign for the
Governorship, Vance C. McCormick, and
also William I. Creasy, the Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
both of whom are members of the board
of trustees of the college. President
Parks, of State College, who was pres
ent, when asked about the meeting said
it "was a most harmonious oue. and we
all sat aronnd and ate apples. " It is
presumed that "Farmer" Creasy fur
nished the apples from his famous Cata
wissa orchard.
Governor Brumbaugh explained hi,s
ideas regarding the separation of the
educational and administrate e features
of the State Department of Agricul
ture, which he first made public a few
days The department, he said,
should be purely administrative. The
college should carry its work to the
farmers ami workers of the State. He
spoke of the relation of the college to
(he farmers as marketers and to the
engineers who build the roads so that
the farmers can carry their products to
the markets. Every taxpayer of Penn
sylvania, he said, ought to have a di
rect share in State College.
The amount of transportation to be
asked for this year by the college was
left to a committee, with President
Sparks as chairman. The money will
be for buildings, equipment and main
tenance. Professor Jackson's resigna
tion as dean of the school of engineer
ing was accepted.

trustees were chosen for the ensuing
year: President, H. Walton Mitchell,

GOLD LETTERED SIGNS
"On the matter of domestic econ
omy in the American household, which,
it is asserted, the housewives and the
boys and girls of the family no longer
practice, it is interesting to know that
if economy be a lost art at home it is
pursued with a great deal of care in
many lines of business," remarked
Henry A. Shields, of New York. "I
was impressed a few months ago by the
observation of a Bign painter, wtlio in
formed me that he could not deliver a
sign I had ordered on a certain day
ibecause in the intervening time he
would have the quarterly clean up day.
I was curious to know what clean up
day meant, and he told me.
"It appears that in the making of
signs a great deal of gold leaf is used,
and necessarily some of it is wasted,
just as it is when gold letters are
placed on show windows. I had never
noticed that when the painter is at
work putting the leaf on he is careful
to conserve all the leavings. Just so
in the shops. All refuse there is care
fully brushed into a pile and kept. In
three months' time there will be a
grent deal of what appears to be rub
bish around a sign painter's shop, but
the painter knows its value. This rub
bish is cleaned up, stowed in bags and
sent to Philadelphia, • where it is

LABOR MEN IN FAVOR OF
OHIO COMPENSATION LAW
Call on tie Governor and Tell Him They
Becomxend Its Adoption With
Amendments to Conform to the
Pennsylvania Constitution
Forty-eight labor men, representing
every union in Pennsylvania and head
ed by Frank Fenney, of Philadelphia,
and John Bonner, of Tamaqua, chair
man of the legislative committee of the
unions, called on Governor Brumbaugh
last night in the interest of workmen's
compensation legislation. The Govern
or met the committee in the reception
room on the first floor of the Executive
Mansion.
'Mr. Fenney introduced the members
of the delegation and called attention
to the faict that at the meeting of the
labor representatives in this city during
the week, Mr. Bonner was elected chair
man of the legislative committee in
place of Representative James iMnurer,
and the conference chose James Oats,
of Pittsburgh. Governor 'Brumbaugh
said that he would be glad to confer
with (Messrs. Bonner and Oats from
time to time on legislation affecting the
workingmen of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Fenney informed the Governor
that the labor unions of Pennsylvania
at the receut conference unanimously
favored the Ohio law with the necessary
changes !o conform with the Pennsyl
vania constitution, and went on record
favoring the commission form of ad
ministering compensation.
Governor Brumbaugh staSed that the
Republican platform called for a work
men's compensation act and it is the
desire of the Legislature to enact such
' a law. Ho pointed out that there are
. three things that should be given con
sideration above everything else. First,
! the euactment of a law that makes com-
I peusation positive without any possibil
! ity of an employer avoiding this lia-
I bility; set'ond, to expedite payments and
I prevent litigation in the courts; third,
i to conserve life and limb by making the
| employer put in adequate safety de-
I vices, thereby preventing accidents and
the necessity for compensation.
Governor Brumbaugh asked the com
mittee to confer with Attorney General
Brown with a view of hastening work
on a fair compensation act.

WIT IN HISTORY
Frederick the Great once granted a'
hearing to a subject on condition that
he should cut his remarks vory slhort.
"Let him say but two words," said
the monarch.
| "Very well," agreed the subject,
J and on entering the presence of Fred
erick he hold out a petition and tit
tered but the two words:
"Sire, sign."
The subject won his request.
King Henry VIII wished to com
mission a nobleman of his court to
visit Francis I.
It was at a moment when interna
tional relations were extremely shaky,
and the courtier showed no particular
desire to absent himself from his home
and country on so dangerous a mission.
"Do not be afraid," said King
j Henry. "If you lose your life iu my
I service T will avenge you a hundred
fold. I will take ofl' the heads of all
the Frenchmen in my power."
"Thank your majesty; your majesty
is most gracious," said the courtier,
"but of all those heads which you take
off there may not be one which will fit
on my shoulders."
' The witty reply resulted in the
courtier being excused from his danger
ous mission.
