Horse Frightened at Auto.
Last Thursday afternoon Mrs. Matil
da Schugers and daughter-in-law, Mrs.
William Schugers, of Hormtown, wore
returning from a picnic noar Emerlck
vllle when their horse frightened at an
automobile on tbe bill just weBt of Wm.
Moore's residence and ran up on to tho
ombankmont, piled the two women and
a small baby in a heap with tbe buggy
on top of tbera. Ono of tbe ladies fell
on top of tbe baby and knocked the
breath out of the baby for a few seconds
and it was thought the baby was killed,
but It was not Injured. Both ladies
were bruised considerably. John Curry,
A. C. Guth W. A. Engloman and a
Mr. Funk, of DuBols, were In the auto
mobile en route for Clarion fair. Somo
person telephoned to Brookvillo that
the automoblllsts bad killed a baby near
Emerlckvllle and requested that tho
party be arrested when they arrived in
Brookvllle and the request was com
plied with and the gontloraon were de
tained at Brookvillo an hour or two bo
fore the chargo against them was re
moved. A Wonderful Stove.
The Keystone Hardware Company
has just recoived a car load of tbe cele
brated Coles Original Hot Blast Slack
Burners. This stove already has tbe
largest sale of any stovo ever manu
factured, and it gives such universal
satisfaction that tho demand for it Is
rapidly growing. Throe years ago tho
Keystone Hardwaro Co., Introduced
Coloa Hot Blast in Reynoldsvlllo and
sold 0 stoves tbo first season. Tho
second year tholr salos amounted to 35
stoves and last year they sold 104, the
largost number of Btoves ol one kind
ever sold in a slnglo season by one store
In Jefferson county. Tho secrot of this
great demand lies principally in the
merits of the stove. They work so
satisfactorily that they are praised
whorever used, so that the stove virtu
ally advertises Itself. There Is no other
stove mado like it, as all of its valuable
features ard covered by patents and
cannot be used by other manufacturers,
although there are many Imitation's on
the market, they all lack the important
points which make Colos Hot Blast so
popular.

If we love God's out-of-doors we can
never grow lonesome. Tbe leafy ways,
the fruitful fields, the shorn glories of
winter, the mystery of Spring life all
of these and every ono of these, through
every hour of every day, can lift us 'out
ot sordid surroundings and noisy high
ways ot struggling life Into quietude
and peace. Tbe honest buffotings of
the winter, when the spirit of tbo wind
carves mighty designs in tho driftipg
snow, the soft blandishments of t the
summer, when the air is alive with
creatures and sweet with' the perfumes
of life, when to lie beneath the tree' is
royal rest the enjoyment of these, 'or
even the tboug-ht'of them, can'mako
tho petty annoyances' of dally : life 'sink.
