Beware of Wormy Chestnuts.
There has been an unusually
large chestnut crop in most sec
tions of this state this year, and
rpcpHy there hrn bepr- n rn'or
number xf diphtheria cases than
usual iu many localities. A
Holidaysburg physician attrib
utes this prevalence of diph
theria to the chestnut crop. Qe
asserts that chestnuts, and par
ticularly spoiled or wormy ones,
contain the germs of bacteria,
which produce diphtheria.
"This," said the doctor, "sounds
old fogyisn, but the observation
of half a million physicians will
bear out my statements. I am
glad that the pure lood people
have begun a crusade on wormy
chestnuts, not only because one
dislikes to purchase bad chest
nuts, but it will be a big step to
ward stamping out the dreaded
diphtheria."

Give Them a Chance.
At this season of the year with
winter approaching and the holi-1
day season not tar off, the ques-'
lion of buying winter clothing
d o
and Cnnstmas presents is upper
most in many minds. Can 1 buy
what I want in my home commu
nity or must I send away for it?
The merchants of the small towns
are handicapped in their efforts
to keep up a good line of stock,
because the very persons, who
should buy at home, send away
nd, without knowing any better,
pay oftentimes a larger amount
for an inferior article.
Surely, we are not interested
in the growth of our own town, if
we encourage buying out of town.
You earn your money at home
and loyalty to your home com
mumty asks you to spend all here
you can to supply your wants.
Not a business man in town but
is willing to get what you want,
if you will only give him an op
portunity. He can please you
better and at less expense than
you can get it away.
City Department stores are
maintained at an enormous ex
pense, their daily advertising
bills are incomparable to thehome
merchant's bills in a weekly pa
per. They pay more for each
clerk and must of necessity
charge more or give you an in
ferior article.
Read carefully the advertise
ments of our merchants in your
home newspapers. The fact that
they spend money to tell you
what they have and to tell you
the price of their goods, is an
evidence that they want your pa
tronage. Then, common sense
will tell you that they must treat
you right or they could not hold
your trade, and without custo
mers they would have to go out
of business.
We sometimes hear it said that
our home merchants do not have
the quantity of goods from which
to select; or they do not have the
quality you wish; or that they do
not have the very latest styles.
Now, that will not do. There is
not a merchant in McConnells
burg, or in Fulton County for
that matter, that will not order
for you anything you want from
a ten dollar suit tj one that costs
a thousand, and let you see it and
be satisfied with it before you
need pay a cent, and at price that
will be as low as you can get it
anywhere else. Give them a
chance.
" A CASE OF BACKSLIDE.
Horse a Kicker A Football Incident
and He was Never Seen Again.
"Yes, I'm down on football as a
game," said the old farmer, "but I'm
not wishing the players any harm.
They are all good fellers as far as
1 know."
"But why do you object to the
gams Itself?" was asked.
"Wall, you see, I wanted a boss
three or four years ago. I found a
feller In the city who had Jest what
I wanted, but he was an honest man
and he told me the hoaa was a kick
er. I believed I could cure him of
that, and I made the dicker and took
him home. He kicked a few boards
off the stable and then quit, and for
three long years he was like a
lamb. You couldn't get him to kick
if you pricked his hind legs with a
pitch-fork."
"So it was a good Investment?"
"A bully one, till one fall I drove
Into town with 'taters, or started to.
I bad to pass a field where there was
a game of football going on. As soon
as he heard the yelling up went the
old hose's head. A little nearer and
he began to prance and snort Jest
Las we got along the ball was given a
high kick and that was the lant or
me and the wagon and the 'taters.1
"How do you mean?"
"Why, that was a football hoss. He
went to running and kicking. Oh,
Gosh, how he did run! Great Scotts,
how he did kick. He kicked me off
the wagon he kicked the wagon to
pieces be kicked himself out of the
harness he kicked the 'taters all
over the county, and then he kicked
himself out of sight, and I've never
aeon him since." Joe Kerr.
Destructive Theology.
At a chapel In Yorkshire the pul
pit was occupied one Sabbath morn
ing by a minister from a neighbor
ing town. A few days later the
preacher received a copy of the local
weekly-P&Per, and his attention was
drawn to the following Item: "The
Rer. supplied the pulpit at the
Congregational church last Sunday,
and the church will now be closed
three weeks for repairs." London

Common LM.
"Why does Plpps look so bad?"
"He says his life has been a series
of disappointments."
"Indeed?"
"Yes. At a very early age he
cried for the moon, and he's been

ever since." Birmingham Age-Her-aid.

friend, Warren Q. Sayre. The two
had been close friends for years.
"Good morning, Mr. Riley," said
Bayre in greeting.
"Why, hello Warren," Mr. Riley re
plied. "How are you?"
"Never felt better In my life. You
are looking well."
"I don't know," said the poet. "I
sometimes feel the weight of years,
for, you know, I am getting old."
"Nonsense! nonsense!" Mr. Sayre
remarked with emphasis. "You don't
look old. In fact, you don't look a
bit older than when I first saw you."
"Perhaps that is true, but I feel
age coming on. I was Just thinking,
as I came up these steps, about old
Methuselah. I imagine I could see
him driving along the road in his
big wagon. He met an old friend
who was sitting on a rail fence at
the side of the road. 'Why, hello,
Thuse!' says the friend. 'How are
you?"
"Oh, pretty fair for an old man,'
said the patriarch. 'But I am getting
along In years.'
"'Oh, .bosh, 'Thuse! You don't
look old. How old are you. Thuse,
anyway?
"'I'm nine hundred and sixty

"'Well, well, 1 never should er

His Capacity.
Ross Slack, scribe of the Sons of
Temperance, said In the course of a
brilllaut temperance address in Tren
ton :
"The trouble with drinking Is that
a man may so easily become a heavy
drinker without realizing it. There's
a lot ct truth, you know, In the story
about the bricklayer.
"A college settlement lady once
accosted a gang of bricklayers as
they lunched.
"'Tell, my men, she said. Ms it
true that you bricklayers drink a
great deal of beer?'
"The bricklayers looked at one
another as they sat on the sidewalk,
with their backs against a house
wall, and pails and kettles between
their legs. Finally one of them
spoke up and said:
"'I don't know as I can answer
that question, madam. You see, it all,
depends. Some days one of us brick
layers'll drink anywhere from thirty
five to forty beers, while, on the
other hand, some days we'll drink
quite a lot' "Washington Star.
One en Cleveland.
When G rover Cleveland was prac
ticing law at Buffalo, among his as
sociates was a young lawyer who,
though a bright fellow, was rather
Inclined to laziness. He was for
ever bothering Cleveland about points
of law rather than look them up him
self. At last Cleveland became tired of
it, and the next time the young man
sauntered In, Cleveland, knew what
he wanted, and, getting up, pointed
to his bookcase and said: "There
are my books. You are welcome to
them. You can read up your own
case."
The fellow was caught, but he
rose to the occasion. "See here,
Orover Cleveland," he said. "I want
you to understand I don't read law.
I practice entirely by ear, and you
and your books can go to thunder."

O
Kathleen's Reward
Part and parcel of Kathleen How
ard's love for all humankind was a
belief In Its goodness. Regardless of
disastrous results, her experiences
with sundry women and men left
upon her consciousness only an as
surance that their ultimate Intention
had been fair enough. That girl
friends borrowed her prettiest clothes
and returned them ripped and soiled
was no proof of their meanness. Kath
leen accepted the care oi little Billy
Rlndge for an afternoon or of Baby
Upton for a day, and bore with sweet
ness and patlonce the responsibilities
they incurred, with the thought or
how much worse it must be for their
mothers to have said responsibilities
Indefinitely.
One afternoon, about 5, Kathleen
was pouring tea for Billy Rlndge's
mother. Mrs. Rlndge was Just back
from town and her arms ached with
the weight of her shopping, and her
feet ached with the beat and too
much walking, and her head ached.
More than all, her heart surged and
filled and bubbled over with bitter
ness at the sight of Billy's best white
'pique suit, over which swept In grace
ful lines a perfect wonder of green
and red paint. Billy had escaped Kath
leen and everybody else Interested,
and Invaded a painter's equipment In
Kathleen's kitchen while the painter
had bis lunch out of doors under the
trees. The trees were green, so rea
soned Billy, and why not he? The
roses were red, and so, with eq'tal
reasonableness, why not he? This
was what Kathleen bad made out ot
his answers to her remonstrances.
"You have no Idea, Kathleen," Mrs.
Rlndge was saying, "what a care that
child Is. If I should have another
one I think I should die. That suit Is
ruined, utterly, hopelessly ruined.
Of course, I don't blame you, you
mustn't think that, but really, isn't
It enough to break anybody's heart to
look at that suit?"
"I don't see how it could have been
helped, Amy," Kathleen answered
patiently. "Billy seems to know what
he must do and what he can't do, and
promises so sweetly and looks such a
dear when be asks you things, that
you don't know how to refuse him,
and then, suddenly, the world top
ples over your head and you emerge
to see Billy In some wretched plight
But you must love him so, Amy!
Think what a baby girl would be
like if she and Billy's curls and Billy's
eyes"
"And Billy's love of mischief and
Billy's guile and Billy's paint that
won't come off," Interrupted his
mother. "Now we will go home, K 'th-
leen, though I do hate to leave here,
everything Is so cool and restful."
But they did go at last and Kath
leen watched them turn toward home
with relief in her heart Suddenly
Bhe bethought hor of something and
rushed madly out of the bouse after
them.
"Oh, Amy!" she shrieked after the
rapidly retreating figures, "did you
get that ribbon for me and the lace
at Mark's?"
"I'm so sorry forgot It until
didn't have any time left" came
back the disjointed sentences, and
Kathleen's courage failed her. Her
dress for to-morrow night's dance
was a dream, but it had no sash and
she simply could not wear It unless
she had some lace to finish the neck
and sleeveB.
A man on horseback met her be
fore she reached her gateway. Ho
noted her dejection. Maybe he thought
she would accept a little cheering.
Anyway, he stopped his horse and
dropped at Kathleen's side In time to
be asked within for a cup of tea and
a cake. It was very cheerful In Kath
leen's den. There were Just a few
chairs that were made to sit In and
a broad, low couch and a fireplace.
Before the fireplace Kathleen's favor
ite rug gave light td the otherwise
dusky Interior, a prayer rug, all am
ber and ruby and summer-sea blue.
Dropping upon It and resting . "-er
head against a pile of pillows, Kath
leen related her experiences for that
one day.
"And she borrowed my pearl
brooch to fasten her collar because
she came away In such a hurry that
she forgot to put one on, and now
she has gone home and forgotten to
give It to me," Kathleen ended. She
looked tired and hurt
"Treated you pretty roughly, didn't
she?" sympathized the man who un
derstood. Somehow his hand found a resting
place on Kathleen's shoulder; some
how his voice found an extra tender
note.
"I don't know, but It may be my
own vanity that's hurt," Kathleen said
after a moment "I wanted to look
my best to-morrow night as If clothes
made the girl, and as if anybody would
care more for me in a pink dress
than be they would In a blue one."
She flushed at the little slip she bad
made.
Richard Prouty took Immediate ad
vantage. He had courted the coy
young woman all summer, afraid to
speak although Impatient at delay.
He told of his love and his loneliness
In hurried words and, Inspired by his
own impetuosity, dropped his arm to
the waist of the unresisting Kathleen
and kissed her.
Kathleen pouted conquettishly be
cause of the slip she bad made but
tired and disappointed, put her head
upon his shoulder and said: "Dick,
you were a goose not to see that 1
loved you all the time." MARTHA

On the Car.
A gentleman who was seated be
hind a negro in a Main street car in
Memphis vouches for this story:
All the seats were taken when a
neatly dressed young negress, evi
dently a lady's maid, entered the
oar. The negro rose with a polite
bow and offered her his seat
"I hate to deprive you, suh," she
