CUPID IN PRINTER'S INK.
Fiaaa Hit Lot at Ctntrt Hall Through a
Pren Article,
t 'en Ira Hall Reporter.
A full page article in the Philadel
phia "Sunday Press" was the instru
ment iu bringing together Mr. V. D.
Hench and Miss Ida Bhoads, after a
long separation. The article was print
ed in one of last winter's editions and
along with other pictures, had the pic
ture of Miss Bhoads. Mr. Hench is in
business in Philadelphia. Miss Bhoads
is the daughter of the well-known Bev.
W. W. Bhoads, a former pastor of the
Evangelical church at Centre Hall.
The incident has a touch of the ro
mantic, as the two had been school
mates ami very good friends while
younger and had lor some unknown
reason drifted apart. As soon as Mr .
Hench learned Miss Bhoads ' address,
he wrote to her, ami iu a few days re
ceived a reply. The correspondence
was continued ami the outcome was
that Miss Bhoads named Centre Hail
as their flrst meeting place. Accord
ingly Miss Bhoads came to Centre
Hall last week to visit friends anil on
Saturday Mr. Hench came up from
Philadelphia to spend Sunday with the
lady whom he had at last found. Mr.
Hench seemed to enjoy his novel si
tuation very much as he talked in a
pleasant way al ut it. He left on
Monday afternoon well pleased with
his first visit to Centre Hall.

LETTER FROM MANILA.
Manila, P. I., June 18, 1901.
Fhank BPBCHT,
Beavertown, Pa.
Dbar Frank :
As you have no doubt
read my letter published in the Post,
I will give you an ccount of my trip
here beginning three weeks buck.
We lea Pekln, May 23, for Taku,
were taken out to the lighter by a tug
and left on the "lighter" or transport
Sumner as it should Is- called, Monday,
May 28th, for Manila via Nagasaki.
We had elegant weather all the way-
over the Yellow Sea, in fact it was like
glass; arrived at Nagasaki Thursday
evening, May 31st, took coal all ev
ening and night and pulled out of the
harbor at 5 o'clok the next morning,
arriving in this hot place, Wednesday
noon, June 6th. Bo you see we hail a
quick trip of it. I can cover those 5
days uiiil 7 hours from Nagasaki in two
words :S. H. but will give you my
daily recordings in my diary.
Friday, June 1st : Sailing Friday
iu o riling, Old Hob Crusoe's day.
One of Hospital Corps boys worried,
ays surely have bad luck. 3 p. m.,
oh, Lord, how it rolls. 5 p. in., just
had supper (slum). Heavy ground
swell, but no wind. This boat woultl
roll iu a dish-pan of fresh water.
Sat unlay, 2nd. S. H.
Sunday, 3rd. S. H.
Montlay, 4th. S. H. j Passed south
west through ltashl Channel this
p. in., could not see Bashi Inlands to
east and southern islands Formosa to
north-west.
Tuesday, 6th, S. Northern end
Luzon in sight, sail along coast all day.
Wednesday, 6th, S. H. Arrived
noon at Manila. Too sick to leave
boat,
S. H.-Sicker'n 'ell.
I came ashore on Friday morning
and am now stationed in "M" ottlce,
(Central Office, Manila) extra or rather
temporarily till I leave about the -titli.,
this month on cable ship "Huruside"
for southern islands. Do not know at
this time which island I will be sta
tioned on, but think it will be Mon
danao, in meantime about a mouth we
will be busy laying cables. Will write
another judicious letter in which I will
say a few nice words about the Phili
pines, as stsin as I get settled in an of
fice and can scare up enough time to
write.
Hope everything on the road Is runn
ing as usual; it should be fining well
since I left. When I get out of this
deal, I will look somewhere else for
work. I don't want any more of that
in mine. Tell Jerry I wish he woultl
be over here wit h me. It is just the
place for him. You hear so much
about the climate, etc., Why, honestly,
Frank, this is the finest climate in the
world. We do not feel the heat as
much here as you do over there ant!
there Is always more or less breeze and
one can enjoy sitting in the house or
walking around the streets, just as you
desire. First the houses are built so as
to have a shady side at all hours and
catch all the breeze and on the streets
everything is shaded with the large
tropical trees. One can either go into
a saloon and pass the time eating
cheese and smelling of the foamy or
walk the streets with a pineapple in
one hand and a hunch of bananas in
the other hand at a cost of alsiut five
cents per hour. Everything iu that
line is very cheap. Old Jerry would
get more fun out of this place in one
day or night than anywhere in the
states in a month. A Signal Corps man
is his own Isms anil tloes about as much
work in a week as you fellows do in a
day.
Well, here I close, call on line. Write.

Tin Editor' Stock is Trade
The columns of a newspaper consti

rates agreed upon by the advertiser

NUMBER 31
Rtctal Wars of tht OirUioa of Forestry.
The result of the work of the Diviai-
oh has been turn practical forestry
iu the rnited States from a doubtful
experiment into an assured success
Special studies of some of the most im
xrtant trees, commercially, have been
made, from which can lie calculated
their probable future yield. Cheap
methods of harvesting the present
lumber crop without injuring the pro
ductivity of the forest have been put in
Operation. Such concerns as The Ureat
Northern Paper Company ami The
1 leering Harvester Company have been
led to undertake conservative manage
ment of their forest properties, Mean
while, the work of tree-planting, par
ticularly in the almost treeless Western
StaU-s of the plains, has been furthered;
the relation of the forest to the volume
of streams, erosion, evaporation, and
irrigation have been studied; matters
Connected with irrigation and water
supply have been Investigated; hopeful
progress has been made in the direction
of regulating grazing ill the Western
reserves in a manner fair iHith to the
important Interests of cattle and sheep
owners and to those who look to the
reserves as a source of continuous sup
ply of wood and water; and studies of
forest fires wen nducted with a view
of reducing the great yearly loss from
this source, a loss which lias lieen es
timated at f'tO.iKMJ.UOO.
Field work is to go on this summer
in 17 States. There are In all 179 per
sons engaged in the work of the Bureau.
Of this number s I are student assistants
young men, largely college students,
who expect to enter forestry as a pro
fession, and who serve during the sum
mer on small pay for the sake of the
experience gained.

the people will vote iisn two impor
tant amendments to the state constitution-
tine to permit the passage of
laws providing for personal registration
ami the other to permit the substitution
of voting machines for ballots, ltoth

of ballot reform organizations iu the
two last legislatures, because it was be
lieved by the members that more hon
est elections could be secured if voters
in cities hail to personally register their

ical device could be used to record the
votes of the citizens and prevent the
tutllng of ballots by inside ofllcers.
