Theodore Ruby.
Theodore Ku by, perhaps better
kuown as "D" liuby, died at Fin
leyville, Bedford county last Fri
day, and was buried at Walnut
Grove, Huntingdon county on
Sunday. Mr. Kuby resided a
few years ago at Dublin Mills,
and also near New Grenada.
While at work in a coal mine at
Finleyville a few days ago, ho
suddenly raised up and exclaim
ed, "Who hit me on the head?"
Seeingthatsomething was wrong,
bis fellow miners went to his side
and found him suffering much
pain in the head, but there was
no evidence that anyone, or any
thing, had struck him. lie was
taken out of the mine and given
every attention possible, but in a
few days he died. It is supposed
that the trouble originated from
the bursting of a blood vessel in
his brain. He was in the act ot
pushing a mme car at the time of
the accident.
Wants to Help Some One.
For thirty year. J. F. Boyer,
of Fertile, Mo., needed help and
couldn't find it. That's why he
wants to help some one now.
Suffering so long himself he feels
for all distress from Backache,
Nervousness. Loss of Appetite,
Lassitude and Kidney disorders.
He shows that Electric Bitters
work wonders for such troubles.
'Five bottles," he writes, "wholly
cured me and now I am well and
hearty." It's also positively gua
ranteed for Liver Trouble, Dys
pepsia, Blood Disorders, Female
Complaints and Malaria. Try

The fifth local institute of Bel
fast township was held at Jacob
Lake's school, Friday evening,
December 2nd. The meeting
was called to order by the teach
er Maye Lake, who appointed S.
L. Wink, president. Many prof
itable points were brought out in
the discussion of the following
topics: 1. Language work; its
importance and how taught? 2.
Individual work. 3. How much
rn ch time do you devote to speci
al exercises? The literary work
by the school was excellent.
Teachers present were: Orpha
Snyder, Bessie Morton, Daisy
Strait. Blanche Smith, Margaret
Daniels, Maye Lake, Nelle Mor
ton and S. L. Wink, of Belfast,
and Mary Mellott of Licking
Creek. Nelle F. Morton, Secretary.
Fourth local institute of Thomp
son township was held at Board
Yard school Friday evening, De
cember 2. It was called to order
by the teacher, Anna Comerer,
after which the following ques
tions were discussed. 1. Howdo
you teach Geography, primary
and advanced? 2. Upon whom
does the success of the school
depend, and why? 2. How dc
you teach Agriculture? Four of
the teachers from Thompson
were present; also, two ot the
directors. A large crowd was
present, all of whom showed their
interest in education by giving
most excellent attention. Anna
Comerer, Secretary.
The sixth educational meeting
of Ayr township was held at Mc-
Naughtou's school, Friday even
ing, December 2nd. All the
teachers of the township were
present except one. "We were
pleased to have with us Supt.
Lamberson and Prof. Thomas.
Subjects discussed were: 1 Pre
paration for the recitation. 2
Self government in the Ungraded
schools. 3 Agriculture in the
Public Schools. A large num
ber of patrons were present and
several joined in the discussions.
It is encouraging to the teachers
when the patrons show that thev
are interested in the work of the
schools. Both patrons and
teachers agreed that the subject
ot agriculture was one of great
importance and should be taught
in the public schools. The pro
gram was interspersed by some
well-rendered literary work. The
next meeting will bo held at Big
Cove Tannery school, Friday
evening, December 10, 1910.

The Prayer of a Horse.
To the, my master, I offer my
request. Feed me, water and
care for me, and when my days
work is done provide me with
shelter, a clean, dry bed and a
stall wide enough for me to lie
down in comfort. Talk to me.
Your voice often means as much
to me as the reins. Pet me some
times, that I may serve you more
gladly and learn to love you. Do
not jerk the reins and do not whip
me when going np hill. Never
strike, beat or kick me when I
do not know what you mean, but
give me a chance to understand
you. Watch me, and if 1 fail to
do my bidding see if something
is not wrong with my harness or
feet. Examine my teeth when I
do not eat I may have an ulcer
ated tooth, and that, you know,
is very painful. Do not tie my
head in an unnatural position or
takeaway my best defence against
llieaand mosquitoes by cutting
off my lateral appendage. And,
finally, my dear master, when my
useful strength is gone, do not
turn me out to starve or freeze,
or sell me to s me cruel owner to
be slowly tortured to death: but
do thou, my master, take my life
in the kindest way, and your God
will reward you here and here
after. You may not consider me
irreverent if I ask this, all this in
the name of Him who was bcrn
in a stable.
This county will lose to Frank
lin another of her substantial
citizens the first ot next April in
tbe person of Mr. Geo. . Brant,
ol Tod township. Mr. Brant re
cently purchased a hundred-acre
farm near Brant's church, 2 J
miles from Lo master, 'Franklin
county, for tll,700-whicb, of
coarse, means f 117 an acre, Mr.
Brant owes two or, three small
farms farms In this county, but
prefers to bo nearer to market.
Hence tbe change.
Back To The Farm.
Tho question of how to hold to
the farm those who are raised on
the farm, and to attract to the
farm some of those who swarm
in the cities, is engaging a large
share of newspaper attention all
over the country, Tho necessity
of more farm labor is apparent,
and that the existence of all the
rest of the world depends upon
the tilling of the soil is, not dis
puted. Tho glamor of city life, the
thrill of mingling with the multi
tude, the numerous diversions
there provided for idle hours,
form the great attraction that
brings thousands from the farm
ing district to the cities. Man
is a gregarious animal, it has
been pretty well established,
and likes to flock with his fellows.
Thi he can do best by making
the cities his abiding place.
Formerly, the hard life of the
farmer, and tho meagrencss of
his returns were advanced as
reasons for the exodus of young
people raised on the farms as
soon as they were old enough to
care for themselves. But. it is
vastly different now. The con
ditions of farm labor are much
less onerous and exhausting.
Th3 financial returns are much
larger; the farming occupations
are more diversified, and social
conditions in the country are in
finitely superior to those of half
a century ago.
Therefore, it would not be sur
prising to note a natural trend of
many people "back to the farm"
in a short time. There is so
much more assurance of a com
fortable living on the farm to
many persons thanin the crowd
ed cities, that inclination, as well
es common sense, may operate
to remove tho prevailing trouble.
