A sportsman recently asked the
definition of the word "spoor"

reading of hunting large game.
Webster says that the word ori
ginated in Africa, and it means
the tracks, broken bushes, or any
marks made by the animal by
which it way be trailed.

McConnellsburg proof is, what
you want aud the statement of
this highly respected resident
will banish all' doubt:
Riley Peck, Shoemaker, Pleas
ant St., McConnellsbug, says:
Some years ago 1 was trouhled
with my kidneys and soreness in
my back. 1 was dizzy at times
and It affected my eyes. I had
to et up often at night on ac
count of the kidney secretions.
was tired out when I got up in
the morning and I didn't feel like
oing my work. I had a doctor
at the time, but he only gave me
little relief. A friend insisted
upon me taking Doan's Kidney
ills, as he was cured by them,
got two boxes at Trout's Drug
Store, and found great relief at
once.
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Mr. Peck had.

Michael Laidig, postmaster at
Dublin Mills, spent several days
in town latter part of last week
and the fore part of this week
with his son-in-law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Shore. Mr,
Laidig is one of our county men
'vho seldom gets to town, but
who is always welcome when he
comes. He keeps well and hearty.
Hon. D. H. Patterson suffered
from a severe attack of lumbago
last week, but he did not permit
that to interfere seriously with
his active work for the proposed
trolley road from this place to
Fort Loudon. Here's hoping that
the road will go on to Webster
Mills; and we will not get jeal
ous of that village if it do.
Calvin H. McLaughlin, of St.
Thomas, Franklin county, was
found dead in hi3 automobile not
far from his home about half
past three o'clock last Saturday
afternoon. Several men saw the
auto swerve from the road into
a hedge. When they reached the
auto Mr. McLaughlin was dead
heart failure being probably the
cause of his death.
A letter from W. L. Berkstres
ser, postmaster at Jacobs, Pa.
says that the Juniata & Southern
Railroad Co. has almost complet
ed its road to Jacobs, and wil
push it on as rapidly as possible
southward, passing through the
gap in the mountains at New
Grenada, getting on the east side
of Sideling Hill, and thence on
to connect with the Wabash at a
point at or near Hancock.
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.

Suicide in Mercersburg.
Last week there returned to
Mercersburg Elliott Pensinger,
aged 20 years. He was .an or
phan and had come from Ohio,
back to his native town. Hard
times had caused him to lose his
job in Ohio and he was despond
ent as he took up his residence
with his only living relative, a
sister, Mrs. Fred Brandt.
"I won't be here long," he
told a friend on Saturday.
What he meant was revealed
Tuesday evening about7:30 when
he went to the home of his sis
ter's mother-in-law, Mrs. Fofler
Brant. 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. A Flo
bert, 22, rifle was lying by his
side and a small, bleeding wound
in the left temple told the story.
From (he Cannery.
A junk dealer from the middle
west had heard that Ford, the
auto manufacturer used tin cans
in the construction of his car.
He gathered up several hundred
tomato, sauer kraut and oyster
cans and sent them to ' the Ford
factory along with a request that
they be made into an autd. A
week later he received a Ford by
freight and a check for $9.80 by
mail. He had sent in too many
cans.
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.

"No child who has bad such home

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,

Cruel Tale.
A dreadful story is in circulation
about Richard Harding Davis.
Mr. Davis, as everybody knows, Is
a wit. He was, therefore, terribly an
noyed tne other day to hear that a
brother author had spoken unfavorably
of bis witticisms. Coming upon his
brother author he said:
"My boy, I hear that in a house
where other people were kind enough
to consider me witty, you declared
that I was not so. Is this true?"
"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."
