gone to church, and completely sur
prised the family when they returned.
For a while the leading centre of ad
miration was a valuable rocking chair
together with other valuables, which
were presented with an able address by
Miss Mabel Gutelius. The address was
well adorned with words of good cheer
aud encouragement, and teemed with
skillfully placed tokensof appreciation.
The response was niada with au extem
poraneous address by the pastor. The
evening was pleasantly spent until II
o'clock, when several hymns were sung
while Mrs. Lillle Gordon presided at
the organ, and prayer was ofi'erdd by
the pastor.
This visit was much appreciated by
tho inmates of the parsonage, and made
an impression that time will not obll
terate. Many thanks to all the donors
fjr their kindness.
The Kratzervillo U. E. Sunday school
also remembered tlio pastor with the
gift of a good, warm robe, for which
they deserve a repetition of all the
above expressed thanks.

Narrowly Eacapea Death From Neuralgia
af Heart.
Mlffllnburg Telegraph.
. Tuesday forenoon Mr. Murry E.
Wlttenmyer, a clerk in GastA Sou's
store, had a narrow escape from death,
caused by a severe attack of neuralgia
of the heart He had gone to the cellar
to charge the acetyllue gas plant when
he experienced severe pain at his heart
He at once returned to the store room
and took position on a stool over the
register, thinking the warmth there
would bring relief; but he became
worse, wheu Mr. Wells Rothermel aud
Mr. Guy ltoush carried him to a lounge,
at which moment he became uncon
scious, his pulse beat hardly being per
ceptible. Dr. F. B. Brubaker was
quickly summoned, and found him al
most pulseless, greatly fearing he would
pass away; but happily, through rub
bing and the use of medicine, restored
him to consciousness and in duo time
relief from the excessive pain. The
doctor says it whs a close call for Mur
ray, for a delay of a few minutes more
of proper attention would certainly
have resulted fatal.
. At about five o'clock lu the evening
of said day he was carried on a couch
to his home in the west ward by a del
egutlon of Modern Woodmen, of which
organization he is a worthy member.
He is said to be improving and his
many friends hope he may soon be able
to be out again.

I ImM vitVetnj.MtwvM rinnirh Mr
or Lfearles K. Uossard, residing on

tery as to how the child could have
contracted the disease and this Increas
ed the doubt as to what It was, but
there being some small-ox symptoms
every precaution possible was taken to
prevent contagion and the case was
watched closely for developments, and
there was great relief Wednesday when
those in charge were able to pronounce
it an aggravated cose of measles, which
It was afterward learned had been con
tracted from a child which visited
Lewistown from Snyder county. Small
pox and measles have symptoms that
are common to each, hence the early
uncertainty in thlscaseand the wisdom
of the care exercised in regard to It.

Dear Sir : What would be the result of
selling poor paint with this guarantee?
" If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now iu putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear, tellyourdeal
er about It. "We authorize him to do
what Is right at our expense."
That means pay damages, don't it?
Here's another guarantee:
" If your state chemist Muds this paint
adulterated we will pay his bill, and
send you $100."
We stand by both of these guarantees;
as we are the maker, we know all about
it
