at people.
McConnellsburg Had It.
Bothdsda is tho nanio of a Unit
ed Presbyterian church in west
ern Pennsylvania, situate near
the forksof the Monotiifahelaand
the Youghioghtsny rivers, south
of Pittsburg. A very pleasant
"Home Coming" was held there
recently, lor the old church was
organized before the time of the
Declaration of Independence by
the original thirteen colonies.
Among the interesting reminis
cences brought out at the Home
Coming meetings was the follow
ing account of the first commun
ion at Bethesda. This was in
1775, and like the marriage at
Cana, "there was no wine there."
To meet this difficulty, Thomas
Drennin, an ancestor of the pres
ent family of that name, was sent
to viount Pleasant for a supply,
and told to go to Bedford for it
if he failed there. He did not
get any at either place, and rode
on to McConnellsburg and back
a distance of 250 miles to accom
plish his purpose.
This little incident is given
merely to show that as far back
as 1775, McConnellsburg could
be dependel upon for some
things.
Brought Him to Terms.
Happy is he who finding him
self drifting in the direction of a
doubtful tiansaction retreats in
time to avoid trouble.
Had it not been for a wise re
treat on the part of one of our
young friends from Belfast town
ship recently, he might have
come to town in a "horseless car
riage," himself "seated" between
the shafts, while his elder broth
er would have preceded him sit
ting comfortably astride the
horse.
For ;he trip the elder had fur
mshed the horse, while the other
had contributed the buggy. This
joint ownership feature, like a
matrimonial bond, went smoothly
only while both parties worked
in harmuiy.
Now it suddenly occurred to
one of them to turn aside a few
rods to see a "friend." This
proposal was met by a flat refus
al on the part of the owner of the
horse, who followed his assertion
of equal righs by jumping out
of the buggy and demanding an
immediate understanding. "All
right" said the brother calmly
alighting. "Help unhitch; 111
ride the horse, and you can take
your buggy." This brought the
lad to see matters differently,
and like Lee at Appomatox, he
surrendered unconditionally.
Value of Spare Moments,
That self made men are usual
ly proud of the job, ;s an old say
ing but in the case of our own
Prof. Emery Thomas, who for
several years has been the etlici
eot principal of the Borough
schools, this "old saying" does
not go for anything. Not content
with with taking a Normal School
course and graduating at Ship-
pensburg witn the Class of 190-1,
he, last week went quietly down
to Shippensburg, took an exami
nation in Virgil and Cicero, Cbem
istry and Zoology, Solid Geome
try, Trigonometry and Survey
ing, and had these branches ad
ded to his diploma. This addi
tional work is the product of uti
lizing his evenings and other
spare time that is spent by most
people In light amusements, or
what is worse the indulgence of
uad habits. Prof. Thomas is
proving that a man can lift him
self over the fence by pulling on
his own bootstraps.
Dwelling House of Job Everts in Ayr
Township Burned lo the Ground
Last Thursday Afternoon. '
Last Thursday afternoon the
family of Job Everts, in Ayr
township, were away from home
a few hours. Mr. Everts was the
lirst to return. When he was
nearing the house he noticed
smoke emanating from the roof,
aud hastening, found that tire
was raging in one of the upper
rooms. When tho door was
opened, the draught increased
the intensity of the fire, so that
there was' nothing left for Mr.
Everts than to get what furniture
out of the house he could handle
and let the rest go. A sewing
machine, some chairs, and a few
other things were about all that
could be saved. This is a serious
loss to Mr. Ev-erts, as ho is a vet
eran of the Civil War, and, of
course, not a voung man, and had
not taken the precaution to carry
a little fire insurance.

Sunbeam Class.
Whether it he dark and gloomy
or tho day is fiiir and brght, As
bury Sunday School never situ in
darkness. Tins is due to the
bright rays eminating from the
"Sunbeam class" which is a hust
ling band of twenty little girls
who seem to catch the spirit of
noble self-sacriHce from the un
tiring elTorts of their teacher,
who is ever ready to do her Mas
ter's bidding and is especially
cndeavoiing to follow tho exhor
tation "Suffer the little children
to come unto me and forbid them
not" etc. The latest achievement
of these fnthful little workers
was to secure by club orders a
very beautiful set of dishes and
a handsome extension table and
place these in the parsonage.
The parents and friends at Si
loam and other places deserve
due credit for assisting the child
ren by ordering them. This
shows what our 19th century
girls can do and the plans of the
Sunbeam class lor the future
would make our older boys and
girls 'sit up" and "take notice"
but we will not divulge their se
cret. Tho following are mem
bers of the class: Julia Mumraa,
Viola Bair, Pauline Hann. Eta

Is She Working
Herself to Death
Does your wife complain of too
much dairy work? Doyouever hear
her say she'll never get through
washing milk things? How often
does bIib say, "Oh, if I only had
fewer pans, crocks and cans to
wash, I could read, write or sew
more, or even take a little robtcach
day."
AN EASIER TIME.
Ask her about It Arrange to make
the dairy work one half easier, one
half neater, one half more pleasant, and 25 to 150 percent, more prof
itable by using a bharple Tubular Cream Separator. Until you try
the Tubular, you can't imagine the difference It makes. It skims the
milk Immediately after milking there's no milk standing around
no cana or pans to wash. The Tubular la entirely different from all
others, so much more simple and convenient. Bring your wife and
let me take a Tubular apart for you.
