For twenty years he was also in
active charge of the maintenance
of eighteen miles of the road
from Chambersburg to summit
of Tuscarora mountain. Under

improvements were made to the

Rev. Walter V. Stewart, of
West Philadelphia, a former
Wells Valley boy, was visited one
night last week by burglars who
took between $100 and $200 worth
of household goods and wearing
apparel. Like most preachers
he had no ready money on hand
for them. But as his congrega
tion is building a $50,000 church
the burglars may have though
he had the money bag.
After two automobiles had
been stranded in an effort to de

pike, took three good hounds out
to hunt foxes last Monday. Ar
ter wandering about for a short
time in the neighborhood of
where the Hunter road intersects
the pike, the hounds let out sev
eral doleful howls and turned tail
for home. Very much surprised
at their actions, Baltzer follow
ed only soon to find that he
was being followed by some wild
animal that gave vent to fright
ful screams which sounded very
much like a woman in distress.
Baltzer and the dogs "beat it"
home, and he now feels sure that
the "varmint" was a panther.

MAKES SMALLEST OF DOLLS

"The natives of the village will tell

The diminutive dolls she makes,

KING HER CHAUFFEUR.
The king of the Belgians, one of
the most democratic of European
monarchs, tells the following story
At Territet the king and queen
were motoring. His majesty was
driving and there were no attend
ants. The queen went into a shop
to make some purchases,
The king was standing by the car
reading a newspaper when an Amer-
ienn woman came out of the shop,
jumped into the car, which Bhe mis
took for a public conveyance, and
bade the monarch to drive her
quickly to her hotel. "Certainly,
madam," said the king, and deposit
ed the woman at the hotel.
Accounts vary as to whether the
king accepted or did not accept any
fare.
In the meantime the queen had
come out of the store and was sur
prised to find that her husband and
the car was absent. However, they
speedily returned and their majesties
laughed over the story together.

It will not be long until hens
will be set for early spring chick
ens. Many have wondered why
these peeps live for a week or
ten days and then many of them
droop and die. It has been told
by those whose business it is to
discover things, that in nine ens
es out of ten, the chicks were ex
posed to cold air for several sec
onds before they dried off under
the hen. The owner did it
when she could not resist the
temptation to slip her hand un
der the hen to see or feel how
many Deeps hatched. The tern -
perature under the hen was 103
degrees, and the outside was 40.
