F. Deshong and Myrtle Sipes visited the latter's parents last Sunday. The revival services at Siloam has been well attended, and ex cellent order prevailed. Not any one thing speaks so highly of a community as the absence of any conduct at public religious ser. vices. There have been thirty persons who have openly declared their intention to try by God's help to Jive in conformity with the teaching of the Bible.

Bair and son Max are expected home this week from a three weeks' visit to hersisters at Beavertown and Tyrone, it is three years since Mrs. Bair visited these relatives, and she deserved a long vacation. Some of Billy's friends began to sus pect that she had left him and were thinking of looking up an other mate for him, but on sec ond thought, concluded to go slow about it. Mrs. Bair and little Max will get cold noses coming over the mountains from the sta tion at Everett. Tnere is little or no improve ment in the condition of Mrs John Haun; but Uncle John keeps well and hardy as a pine knot. The friends especially the G. A. R. comrades of veteran J. M Vanhorn, of Everett, will regret to hear that he is seriously ill a gain. He was apparently quite robust during the fall and visited Breezewood, Green Hill and Mc Connellsburg on a trip; then Bed ford, Hopewell and Wells Tan nery on another, then old com rades around Everett, and his doctor thought he would pass through the winter "a sailing;" but he recently wrote an old friend in this county that he suf fered with severe neuralgia of the head and face, and sciatic rheumatism in bip, and then dreadful heart trouble set in. He has not been in bed since Thanks giving day, and spends his days and nights in a big chair. Squire VanHorn has been a great suffer er for several winters. We wish him speedy relief and recovery. We cannot help but tell your readers what a genial and. acco mmodating mail carrier we have on State Highway between Mc Coonellsburg and Saluvia. Brice Hann is regularly on duty unless illness or other assignment pre vents, and carries and safely dis tributes mail and otherwise will ingly accomodates his patrons between the hours of 2 and 8 o' clock and some times as late as 10 p. m. when roads are bad. No wonder that those he serves see to it that he gets nice cakes, ap pies, hot coffee and refreshments He is badly disabled from engag ing in manual labor on account of sciatica, and we wish we were a millionaire so that we could make our testimonials $20 gold pieces. He is no booze carrier nor taster. CLEAR RIDGE.

Mrs. Borzoe has a pet dog she calls "Tnxio." On Christmas Trixie was bitten by a dog. One week later Trixie showed symp toms of hydrophobia, at the same time biting Mrs. Bonzoe and her son Verner. The Dr. at once no tified the authorities in Pitts burgh, and was instructed to chain the dog in the stable and if he bad rabies he would die in a day or two, The dog was in the kitchen. No one was anxious for the job of taking the dog to the stable. Leslie undertook the job much against the wishes of the Doctor; but Leslie put on a heavy pair of mittens, went into the kitchen, and when the dog sprang at Leslie and grabbed him by the mitten, Leslie succeeded in get ting the dog by the throat with the other hand, and by a well di rected blow, brought the animal under control, and landed him safe in the stable. In two days the dog died. Its carcass sent to Pittsburgh and there examined by experts, was pronounced a clear case of rabies. Penna. Cora Ia The National Show.

Mr. Waltz is a fine specimen of manhood and re flects credit on the careful train ing of his parents.

I'm sure now he was not expecting an in valid to have so much avoirdu pois, because we both plumped down together. E, B, followed the best she could the guard did not renew his offer to help and somehow the luggage was pulled out and eventually gotten into the waiting room, the Dak (mail train) moved on, and we were left alone in the dark! Because of a misunderstanding there was no conveyance to meet us, but the station master thought he could perhaps induce some villager to take us in his cart, which he did. I heard the cart man addressed as "Turn ullu admi" (you son of an owl), and he proved true to his title and showed about as much sense as an owl at driving a pair of contrary-minded oxen in oneUf the wonderful vehicles they use here, which looked like a relic of the flood. All the soft bedding we had, with pillows, was packed in on top of the boxes and we start ed, E. B. walking and I perched somewhere on top of things like a grass-hopper on a feather bed. There were many chances to hop all right, as the road was the usual jungle track, made a little worse than usual by the recent rains. The "ullu admi" never thought of dodging the stones, but cheerfully dashed over rocks bigger than your head with a nonchalance that was amazing. The first river to cross we picked our way on stepping stones, the second had too much water to wade and steep banks, so we were obliged to stay in and an ticipate being either submerged or thrown from the cart like shot from a sling. The third was a very wide, dry bed of burning rocks, so we managed to scram ble over and shut our eyes to the probable fate of the cart and driver. "Every lane has its turn ing," and by noon we had a smooth, level stretch through heavy jungle undergrowth. longed for a tiger or a leopard to pop out his head, but there was nothing more exciting than mon keys, jackals, and wild peacock. The tiger had promenaded the day before, both he and Miss Savage thought we were coming on the 7th instead of the 8th. Our hostess wa3 too astonished to speak when she saw us Thinking over the probable effect of those rocks on adhesions she had sent one of her men to a sta tion below where we got out, with a letter saying to go on to Dehra, as she could notgetdandi men and she feared the risk would be too great over the sev en miles to her bungalow, but a kind Providence kept us from getting the letter and helped us to see the funny side of the situ ation, which made the journey easy. If you have any patients with this interesting malady of mine you might order as a remedy a good sound jolting over rocky river beds, for I was apparently none the worse, though tired, to be sure, sleeping 16 hours a day for the next fortnight. The air was so fresh and invigorating that it seemed to lift one up to the treetops, in spirit at least -V 1 m . 1 i nave a comiortabie room which I use only as a dressing room, as I live and sleep on a long veranda looking off to the hills. On the other side of the hedge is a patch of red peppers, interspersed with ' blue Mexican everlasting, and through clumps of bamboo and banana trees I can see fields of golden grain waiting to be cut All afternoon the breeze whispers through a big field of tall sugar cane, and bril- iant butterflies flutter over the sweet-pea bed. Across another green hedge in the vegetable garden are trees lad e n w i t h ripening oranges and lemons, of which there are five varieties. One may be 17 miles from a doctor, but not from a lemon. Mr. C. J. Wink, of Thompson township, drove up to McCon- nellsburg last Friday, spent the night in the home of his son-in- law and daughter, ex-Sheriff and Mrs. J. G.
