Charles Witherow, the bar
clerk at the National Hotel, Cham

ience on Thursday e'eningof last
week. Wishijgtogo tohis home
at Metal, he went down to the
station in Chambersburg, and, as
he supposed, boarded a South
i'enn train. He soon found that
he was on a train on the main
line which was pulling out, and
as he attempted to get off he fell
between the cars and one coach
pissed over him. Fortunately
he had fallen between the rails,
and had presence of mind enough
to lie still. After the train had
passed away from him, he coolly
arose and boarded the South
Pjnn train, and went on home n
safety.

Keeping The Boy On The Farm.
"A farmer whose son is also a
farmer" is writing his autobio
graphy for tho World's Work.
The editor has asked him to tell
particularly how his son came to
eDjoy farm life and not hanker
after the allurements of the city
"From the verv first," sys
this rural philosopher, "my part
ner and I sot out to make life en
loyable for our children," his
partner" being his wife. There
follow tales of porterhouse steaks
which "would have appetized the
jeded palate of a dyspeptic presi
dent," and of huge bowls of
strawberries and cream "which
(ueen Victoria might have en
vied. " For playfellows the fortu
nate young folk of this farm had
calves, colts, horses. Ditrs. la'ur-
eons, Angora rabbits, dogs,
oiras, guinea pigs, "and even a
white rat !" Moreover, a savings
bank account was opened for the
children on the Jive cents an hour
which they received for perform
ing various outdoor tasks.
It may njt be possible always
to instil thus a career-fixing joy
ol life either on a profitable farm
or in a well-provided home else
where. And n all sons were to
follow in the footsteps of the fa
thers tho world would somewhere
presently experience a dearth of
men. The strength of this auto-
biographer's charming tale of ex
perience is in its pointing to a de
gree of regard for the children.
Boys and girls do not outer
this world of their own desire.
The commandment which bids
them honor their fathers and
mothers has an unwritten corol
lary. Parents must honor and
comfort their children. The
farmer in the magazine did this
n setting forth the best he had
n thought and food, it is likely
that many a son has gone further
astray than "off tho farm" for
lack of such a keen sease of lov.
ing responsibility at the head of
the home. Anyway, tho boy is
not kept to the acres by the. sell
ing of the best joints to the city
markets while chuck steak is

Home-Made Kidney, Bladder, and Rheu
matism Medicine for Readers.
Here is a simple home-made
mixture as given by an eminent
authority on Kidney diseases,
who makes the statement that it
will relieve almost any case of
Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease.
He states that such symptoms as
lame back, pain in the side, fie
quent desire to urinate, especial
ly at night; painful and discolor
ed urination, are readily over
come. Here is the recipe. Try
it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-
half ounce; Compound Karpon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar
saparilla, three ounces. Take a
teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
These ingredients are all harm
less and easily mixed at home by
shaking well in a bottle. This
mixture has a peculiar healing
and soothing effect upon the en
tire Kidney and Urinary struc
ture, and often overcomes the
worst forms of Rheumatism in
just a little while. This mixture
is said to remove all blood disor
ders and cure Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood and system
all uric acid and foul, decomposed
waste matter, which cause these
afflictions. Try it if -vou aren't
well. Save tho prescription.
Two Meals a Day Sufficient.
In his address last Wednesday
afternoon before the Chester New
Century club, Howard Fletcher,
a noted tourist and scholar, who
is GO years of age, advocated two
meals only each day as a remedy
for bodily ills.
He deprecated the use of water,
excepting when it is ciaved, and
told his audience to eat what they
like, and that worry must be dis
pensed with, because the mental
state has a distinct control over
the system.

Clearance Sale
J T
John S. Wilson's Store,
Three Springs.
While there is practically three months of winter weather
to be expected yet, the wide-awake merchant begins early to -clear
nis stocK to maKe room lor spring purchases.
The old way of merchandising was to carry over from one
season to another all unsold goods, and never parting with an ar
ticle unless the full retail prices was received. That day is gone
by. Goods bought for the winter trade must go in the winter, and
it Is much better In the end that the Hock should be closed out at
prolit or no profit, than to be at the trouble of storing It away
i and beginning next winter's business with old out-of-date stuff.
During the Month of February
we shall sell at way-down prices,

Children's Clothing
Blankets, Arctics, Rubbers', Carpets, and
with these goods will go at Special Prices.
