chants of town called a meeting
to consider the closing of the
stores at six o'clock three nights
a week Monday, Wednesday,

for the over-worked merchants.
Full particulars next week.
M.'A. Faubel and W. W. Defi
baugh, near Wolfsburg, Bedford
county, were attracted to Phila
delphia recently by an advertise
ment of "a valuable horse for
sale for $65." They were flim
flammed into buying four for
j45, but soon aftar starting for
home found the horses were all
lame and unfit for work. They
returned, reported to the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, and gave back the hors
es, but at a loss of $170.
John A. Gettig, of Braddock,
who was to have been married to
Miss Mena Anderson, of Essen,
disappeared recently, on the eve
of his nuptials. He started for
his tailor's to obtain his wedding
suit and has not been seen since.
The guests who were assembled
for the happy event disappeared
ou receipt of the news. Relatives
are heartbroken. The deserted
fiance thinks that her intended
has met with foul play, tier opin
ion is that, after being beaten and
robbed, he was left to die in some
lonely place. He was a young
man of exemplary habits and had
talked tor days about his ap
proaching marriage.
Last week '8 People's Register,
Ceambersburg,-says: "N. I. Fin
iff, who moved from the country
to Reservoir Hill a couple years
ago, was seen on the street with
his right arm in a sling, and upon
inquiry, the writer was told that
while helping to unload freight,
Finiff got his fingers caught be
tween the door, and the jam, the
result being two or three badly
pinched ends. This accident will
throw him out of work for some
time, for even If he is entitled to
draw from the Relief Association,
this is not as profitable as work
ing for the Company."
The annual reunion of the Ful
ton County Colony was held at
the home of Charlie Funk, Repub
lie, 0., on the 11th inst. On ac
count of the day being stormy
and disagreeable, there were not
many present, and the exercises,
of course, had to beheld in doors.
The formal exercises consisted of
recitations, readings, singing and
speeches. Those from a distance
were Luther Pittman, wife and
daughter, of Dayton, O; Mrs.
Oliver Winters and children, and
Miss Bertha Crlder, of Fremont,
0 , and Janet and Lola Pittman,
of Oakland, III Everybody pres
ent had a very enjoyable time,
and the only regret was, that all
the Fulton county people could
not be present The reunion will
be held at James Funk's next
year.
Tying a Horse. '
A horse should always be tied
to a hitching post with a strong
strap or rope which there is no
possibility of breaking. If a
horse once breaks loose, he is apt
to acquire the bad habit of break
ing loose at every opportunity.
A neck strap or rope which
pawses round the neck '. and
through the ring m the bit is bet
ter than the ordinary tie strap
listened in the bit ring such as
usually comes with bridles. It a
horse has acquired the habit of
breaking loose, try this plan and
fool him when ho tries it again.
A horse should always be tied
"0 that it cannot get ' its head to
the ground. It will stand more
quietly if compelled to keep its
hi ad up.

Charlie Mellott, Son of Joseph E. Mellott,
Fell 25 Feet and Broke His Arm and
Dislocated His Shoulder,
Last Wednesday, as Charlie
Mellott was up in a cherry tree
on his father's farm in Belfast
township, picking cherries, the
limb op which Charlie was stand
ing suddenly broke, and he fell
to the ground a distance of twen
ty five feet. When picked up he
was more dead than alive, but
a physician was summoned hasti
ly and succeeded in bringing the
young man around again. As it
was, he has a broken arm', a dis
located shoulder, a badly sprain
ed back, and it will be some time
before he is as "good as ever."

Last Tuesday our lumberman,

morning he hitched it to a load of
bark an proceeded to tbe top of
Sideling Hill mountain, there he
hitched to three more wagons
upon which were piles of bark
thatin dimensions would compare
favorably with young bay stacks;
but there is always a limit to
mans accomplishments, and so it
was in this case. A few rods

The matter of wedding gifts is,

believing that it is poor taste to
send gifts to them whom they
scarcely know bnt to whose wed.

for some reason or courtesy.
Of course the fact that one
knows the groom rather than the
bride mukes no difference one
way or the other. It is to the
bride that the gift is sent.
An "at home" card inclosed in
the invitation necessitates a call
within the time named or, if one

AN ILLUSTRATIVE SUGGESTION.
Hints In Regard to the Beautifying of
the Farm,
Looking at the grounds surrounding
the farm and suburban homes through
the country, the lnck of well-planned
and well-cared-for driveways Is notice
able; or, where kept In good condt
tlon they far too often lead to the
barn by the moot direct line of ap
proach, with no apparent care for the
effect they have on the pjace aa a
whole.
Granting that every foot of unnec
essary driveway represents added
Inhor, and admitting that it must be
well cared for, or take from rather
tli (in add to, the beauty of the place
brings one to the same fact that must
A beautiful homestouxlinf InttMmotoror a
ImmonM lawn with no visible way of driving
up to It, or to the barn, axoapt by driving
be fared In securing anything worth
having It means work.
When considering the question of
whether or not the work Is really
worth while, the first thought is, nat
urally, of the bealtlfying effect of the
curved lines as contrasted with
straight ones.
Such consideration, If carried far
enough, will show that spaciousness
Is a fundamental element of beauty
and that curved lines have a wonder
ful power In seemingly increasing
space If (note the "If") they are so
carried that one cannot see the entire
length of them at one glance.
As every place has differing condi
tlons calling for differing plans, this
phase ,of the subject may be left with
tbe suggestion that where rounding a
Whore the dr! enters the crtrandt at either
end of the frontage; circle In a broad sweep
before the house and, In easy curve lead
entirely around It, and to the, barn In the rear
building is not practicable, a bit of
special planting will break the line of
view and is desirable, also, as a
means of securing additional beauty,
Viewed from the standpoint of labor
involved, there is no denying that it
requires more to lay out and make a
long driveway than a short one and,
too, the longer one must be a wider
one, or look like a streak through the
sod.
When, however, the work of mak'
ing has been done that of keeping in
good condition Is not proportionately
greater for the reason that in the
curving, endless driveway, a home'
made scraper, a steady old horse, and
a careful driver will do the work with
no greater outlay of time and strength
than would be required to keep the
shorter and nnrrower one In order by
the power of the "man behind the
hoe."
Somewhat Cheaper.
"Is It so, that you used to call regu
larly on that girl?"
"Yes; she always sang a song to
me that I loved."
"Why didn't you marry her?"
"I found I could buy tbe song for
60 cents." .
"Gentlemen of the Jury," said the
prosecuting barrister, "this prisoner
is an unmitigated scoundrel; he ac
knowledges it. And yet, thanks to
the wisdom of the common law, he
has been given a fair trial by a Jury
of bis peers."
A Memento of the Departed.
"I suppose you carry a memento of
some sort In that locket of yours?"
"Yes; it is a lock of my husband's
hair." .
"But your husband Is atlll alive!"
"Yes, but his hair Is all gone."
His Indifference.
"What's your position In this polar
controversy?"
