The Richland Township Water Company and the Paint Town shiD Water Company, located in Somerset tcinty, have made ap ulication to the Public Service Commission for an order author izing reparation to customers on account of suspension of service through hose connection. Be cause of the prolonged drought the companies found it necessary to prohibit customers from using water through hose attachments for irrigation and sprinkling pur poses during the period begin ning August 15 and ending Oc tober 15; but inasmuch as the patrons paid for complete service, the water companies feel that they should make a refund.

Without saying anything he went to the second story room and when Mrs. Brant heard a shot there she hurried up Btairs. She found young Pensinger lying on the floor unconscious.

TEACH THE CHILD SUCCESS KEEP THEIR LITTLE SECRETS Parent Mistake If They Think They Know All That Is In Their Children's Minds. There is nothing more unfathom able, or more apparently unreason able, than the reserve of a little child. 1 ou may look back upon your own childhood and remember how little of your reaj inner life you ever disclosed to the people around you, and you perhaps explain this ex traordinary reticence by the greater severity with which children, were treated in that sterner age. You complain that it was a regime which checked confidence, and declared that from the very first you resolved to try a different method with your own children. You admit that your chil dren arc not quite as respectful to you ns you were to your parents, but you say that, on the whole, you would rather have confidence than respect. Do you flatter yourself that you get it from your small children? It is true that the period of reserve may be shortened by judicious treat ment and that as they grow older the relations between you may be all that you have hoped for; but as for your little child, overflowing with spirit and affection, running to you with all sorts of questions and confidences, disclosing itself to you, as you fancy, with absolute trans parency, do you really imagine that P you see to the bottom of its soul? rut away the delusion! Just as, in later life, the most successfully se cretive person is the one who appears most frank, so our babbling child fools us. Scribncr'8. L. W.

Experienced School Teacher Make a Suggestion to the Mother of Her Pupil. Every mother knows how easy K la (or a child to become discouraged dur ing tbe first weeks of school. "I wish," said & most successful teacher to a mother one "first" day, "that I hnd all the mothers here In stead of the children this morning. "Yea, I mean that the forty moth ers, I would like to tell them JuHt one thing the difference between success and failure. Via the school room ac well as else where tbe difference is just a differ ence of attitude. "No general ever won a victory who did not go on the battlefield deter mined to win. "In tbe home Is where we form our habits," she continued, "and the habit of success Is not a difficult one to form. "The moBt Important thing for tho mother to do is to believe In her child, see that hln tasks aro such that he can do, and tptn openly recognize his success. "No child who has bad such home training ever makes many failures In his life.

AMUSEMENT FOR THE TOTS Game That Will Keep Them Interest ed During the Long Evening of the Winter. Now that the evenings are drawing In, the children will want some new game to play after supper is over. They will all enjoy the "Cut-Out Fam ily Game," which Is played as follows: Get a big pile of illustrated journals, catalogues and picture papers, and give each child a blunt-pointed pair dt scissors, a large sheet of newspaper or brown paper, and a pot of paste or a packet of pins. Then read or tell them some simple little tale of every-day life not a fairy story, but an ordinary, every-day tale of boys and girls and their fathers and mothers. As you go along, stop from time to time, and lot the children hunt through th.o Illustrated books for pictures to suit the occasion. Perhaps you will begin in this way: "Once upon a time there was a little girl called Susie. She was seven years old and she had long, curly hair. Now, look through your books and find a picture of Susie." Then the children will spend five happy minutes in finding Susie, cut ting her out, and fastening her at the top of the blank sheet. As tho tale continues the sheet will become full of portraits of the different peoplo whom Susie met, the pet animals she had, and so on. It will take an hour or more to fill a sheet, and the children will be qui etly and happily occupied all th time, Club Swinger's Collapse. Tom Burrows, the champion club swinger, just failed Saturday night at Earl's court to complete 100 hours of continuous club swinging. He began his task at 7:10 Tuesday evening. Saturday morning he de veloped sprain of the right ankle. He was compelled to throw the weight of his body on his loft leg, and It was the additional pain and fatigue conse quent on this that led to his collapse at 8:45. During the evening It was clear that he was near the limit of his powers of endurance. Two army doctors who were in attendance decided to allow him to fall asleep in the ordinary course of nature, rather than risk mental shock by stopping him forcl bly. Thus he was allowed to totter along until he lurched against & t&- ble. His wife caught him in her arms, and Burrows fell asleep, con tlnuing in a deep slumber, despite the cheers of the crowd, while he was carried to taxlcab and driven home. He had swung his clubs for 97 houri and 35 minutes, London Dally News, 8ome Accompanist. Charles Hough, a young man of youthful appearance, slight in build compared with the woman, and gray as to hair, was at the piano. He un derstands perfectly how best to ac company the prima donna. He knows that volume to required, what shading is desirable, how much of it, and ho follows every motion of the singer to detect her next requirement in the matter of piano support.

The piano was finished in black, one of the low concert .type of instrument. with a llttlo outward turn, on the top of which the singer rested an arm oc clslonally. Exchange. Cruel Tale.

"No, not a word of truth In it," the other answered cheerfully. "I was never in a house In my life where anybody considered you witty." Public Sale of Real Estate.
