Chas. Englese, a shoemaker of this
place, left Saturday via Johns-
town for New York to sail for Italy,
where he has enlisted for service in
the army of his native country. After
several months of training he will go

our people, who wish him the best of
success.

There is quite a political stir in town
at present.
Mr. John Brant is a frequent visitor
in town. What is the attraction,
John?
Owing to the inclement weather,
the Pritts’ reunion which was to have
been held at Riverside Park on Sun-
day, was held at tife home of J. D.
Hoffert, There were about 35 persons
present and the day was most pleas-
antly spent. Among those present was
W. F. Pritts of Denver, Col, who has
been in the West for 24 years and his
relatives and friends were highly e-
lated with the privilege of meeting
with him. It is a day that will long
be remembered by all present. A sump
tuous dinner was served and equally
well enjoyed by all present.
The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Luth-

The Longing.
I want to go home to the old house I
love—
To the dear grassy yard, and the long
winding lane,
To the pool, with its border of willows
above.
| And the hills that in springtime are
misty with rain.
Oh, the soft mountain zephyrs are
sweet, piny sweet,
And they ripple and billow the
green seas of wheat.
There's a cool shady orchard, where
each wind that blows
Threads the dim leafy silence with
whisper and call,
And a rode hedge that scatters its
dawn-painted snows
In a pink and white drift by a mos-
sy stone wall;
There are great friendly cedars that
steadfastly wait,
And a pear tree in bloom by the old
garden gate.
When the crimson light closes in night
shadow long,
And a star beacon shines through
the lace of a tree,
When the low winds are waving the
dream of a song,
Then a yearning thought wings o’er
the darkness to me;
There's a whippoorwill’s note in the
shadowy gloam—
Oh, the spring and the southland are
calling me home.
A New Experience.
“I tell you I won't have this room!”
protested an old lady to the boy in
buttons who was conducting her to
her room in a large hotel. “I ain’t goin’
to pay my money for a pigsty with a
measly little foldin’ bed in it! If you
think that just because I'm from the
country—"
“Get in, mum, getin!” the boy said
“This ain't your room; this is the
elevator!”
tomobile belonging to Francis Christ- |
ner. The unfortunate lad ran into the
street in front of the car, Mr. Christ-
ner being unable to stop the car in
time to prevent hitting him. The boy
was thrown several feet and receivel
a number of cuts and bruises, several
stitches being required to close them.
He is getting along as well as can be
expected, and it is hoped that nothing
more serious may result from the ac-
cident.
Plans are well under way for a Glo- |
rious Fourth of July celebration to be
observed here on July 5th and the
people of the town are urged to de all
possible to make the event a success.
Mrs. George Weaver is in a critical
condition; she having dislocated a hip
several weeks ago, and now dropsy
has developed and pleurisy also.

A HORRIFIED MOTHER.
| A Louisville woman who is some:
what of a crank on hygiene and who
brings up her small daughter accord-
ing to the latest methods, took the
child on a day train to a nearby little
‘town. The mother sighed as she
glanced at the dusty velvet seat and
| cloudy windows. The youngster, how-
ever folded her manicured fingers in
her white pique lap and apparently
tried to absorb as little dirt as pos-
sible. Looking up from her magazine
the immaculate parent was horrified
to find the small daughter's jaws
; working violently.
“What have you in your mouth?”
she demanded at once.
“Gum,” said the child.
“Where did you get it?” gasped the
mother.
The child pointed to a clean, round
spot on the grimy window sill.
“There,” she said.
Fair Warning.
A long whisp of artificial grain that
served as a stick-up on the sweet girl's
| hat was placed horizontally, so that it
| tickled up and down the face of the
| man who sat next to her:in the street
, unil it came to a resting place wih
the end nestling in his right ear.
After the car had traveled a few
blocks the man was seen to remove
from his pocket a large jackknife,
which he proceeded to strop on the
palm of a horny hand.
Excitedly the girl inquired:
“Why are you doing that?”
“If them oats gits in my ear agin,”
the man ejaculated, “there’s gonna be
a harvest..”

One hot summer day I was driving
along when I overtook a woman who
carried a heavy basket. She gladly ac-
cepted my offer of a ride, but sat with
the heavy basket still on her arm.
“My good woman,” I said, “your
basket will ride just as well in the
bottom of the carriage, and you would
be much more comfortable.”
“So it would, sir, thank you,”
she; “I never thought of that.”
“That is what I very often do, too,”
I said.
The woman looked up inquiringly..
“Yes, I do the same thing. The Lord
Jesns has taken m2 up p his chariot
and I rejoice to ride in it. But very
often I carry a burden of care on my
back that woud ride just as well if 1
put it down. If the Lord is willing to
carry me He is willing to carry my
cares.” —Mark Guy Pearse.

NEWS IN GENERAL.
A permanent home provided by the
school community for rural school
teachers, is giving great satisfaction
where it is in vogue, according to Har-
old W. Foght in a bulletin just issu-
ed by the Unite States Bureau of edu-
cation.
Fifteen lives were lost, a score of
persons were injured and property
destroyed by wind and hail storm
which centered in Missouri and Kan-
sas. One woman was carried from her
home into a wheatfield a mile away
and escaped with slight injuries.
Lieut. Reginald A. J. Warneford,
who gained fame recently by blowing
to pieces a Zeppelin over Belgium, was '
killed a few days ago by the fall of
lan aeroplane at Buc, France. The un-
fortunate nn was piloting the ma-
chine, which had as a passenger,
Henry Beach Needham, the Ameri-
ican writer, who was also killed.
Italian miners near Montgomery,
Fayette County, have been receiving
shipments of whiskey and other intox-
icants recently under such labels as
“Olive Oil,” “Tomato Sauce,” and
others as misleading, according to
information received by United States
Attorney W. G. Barnhart. The Federal
statute requires that all inter-State
shipments of liquors shall be plainly
labeled as such, and the penalty for
such violations as cited is heavy. An
investigation has been started.
Henry J. Shierson, pleaded guilty
in the Court of Special Sessions at
New York, for swindling people by
selling them fake medicines and giv-
ing them fake medical advice and was
sentenced to six months in the peni-
tentiary. Schierson nas served time
for the same offense in Pittsburg, Bal-
timore and Scranton. He sold to per-
sons afflicted with serious diseases,
bottles of Croton water for $300 each,
representing that the liquid was im-
pregnated with radium.
Reports from all fronts of battles in-
dicate reverses for the quadruple en-
tente. The Russians have been driven
back to Grodeck, only 16 miles from
force,

, Northwestern France, was destroyed,
only a few succeeding in retreating;
so Berlin claims. The British have
lost most of the ground they held in

Carrying a hoe and a sack filled
with grain a masked man walked
the length of one of the principal
streets of Fairmont, W. Va., and plan-
ted corn a few days ago. The incident
was witnessed by hundreds. S
Some /
time ago the Monongahela Traction’
Company repaired its car lines run-
ning through that city with the under-
standing the municipality was to do
likewise with the streets through
which the lines pass. The traction
company carried out its part of the
agreement but the city has allowed
the streets to remain torn up. |
Six hundred feet below the surface
of the earth a gusher of gas was
struck by the drillers at Knapp’s Mea-
dow, just east of Lonaconing Thurs-
day morning in their search for oil
wells and a steady flow of gas contin-
ued to pour out of the hole. S. B. Hick-
man in charge of the operations of the
Bullock-Hickman Co. who are pros-
pecting for oil in that region have sta-
ted that the present discovery was
the best indication possible that oil
lies below the field of “gas sand’ as
this strata is known.
Details of another gigantic plan fa-
thered by Henry Ford, automobile
manufacturer, became known at De-
troit recently. The motor magnate
has secured options on large tracts
of land on both sides of the river
Rouge, north of the village of Oak-
wood, comprising over 1,000 acres.
On the broad plain there, Ford exfects
to erect a vast plant in which he will
manufacture a tractor engine for farm
use. It will be cheaper than horses
and far more efficient. Two of these
tractor engines have been tested on
Ford’s farm, it is said, and have prov-
ed successful. They pull wide gang
plows, harrows or any other device
used in tilling fields or in harvesting
crops. Ford’s plans have also been ex-
tended to the erection of an ideal city
for the employees of the great plant.
To save the men who will work for
him from real estate grabbers, Ford
plans to buy up enough ground in the
vicinity to accommodate them and
sell not only; the land, but ideally
constructed homes to the workers
at low prices. The plant is expected
to employ 20,000 1aen. Mr. Ford claims
the aew farm iinplement will r23iues
the tilling of the soil at least a third
of the present rcst, and will keep
young men on the farm.

WILLIAM STERLING BATTIS.
William Sterling Bhattis, once an
Jefferson. A man of affairs and let-
any Dickens student and interpreter
of his day.
After he had finished his child ca-
reer on the stage Mr. Battis became
a teacher, and for years engaged in
a very careful and exhaustive study
of English literature, specializing
upon the works of the great humanist
author, Charles Dickens. All this
time Mr. Battis was interpreting
Dickens much as Henry Clay used to
practice oratory at the barn on his
southern home. His Dickens charac-
Battis disappears entirely.
Mr. Battis makes up in full view of
the audience, thus affording one of the
nost interesting illustrations of stage-
craft as well as the actor's assump-
tion of different roles, all in full cos-
tume, the night of the third day of
the chautauqua.
