Snyder Died From Stroke of Apo plexy Funeral Sunday. Peter Snyder, u farmer who resided a few miles out, from Reynoldsville, was stricken with apoplexy last Thurs day afternoon while in field plowing and died about four hours afterward without regaining consciousness. Between 8.00 and 4.00 p. m. Mr. Snyder was seen to fall lu tbe field by two men who were driving along tbe road.

McEntire, of Reynoldsville. Heart, as Well as Intellect. Unkapupa, the "Lyceumlt" critic, heard Dr. Thomas E. Green lecture last winter. Here is what he says about him: 'I never beard Phillips, norBeecher, nor Gougb; but if these great platform figures of tbe past were better than Dr. Green in his 'Twentieth Century' lecture, 'tis no wonder their names live In history. In the past ten years I have been pleased with many lectures; but looked upon from every view-point, I cannot recall au effort so excellent as that of Dr. Green. 'The construction of the lecture remind' me of a May pole dance, where in an hundred ribbons go out in an hundred different directions, all meet ing at the center. Dr. Green follows a ribbon from the end to tbe center, nails It, and starts for another each ribbon Is an argument, related to the subject, if you please. When the ribbons have all been run and have been made secure at the center, the doctor paints a beautiful rosette as a finisher, and there stands 'The Key to the Twentieth Century.' "Dr. Green soars and paints with faotsand arguments not with rhetor ical platitudes. Most lectures of the boavy type have the coldness of intel lectuality. Theirs Is from the brain to the brain; not eo Dr. Green. He not only possesses the Intellect that appeals to the Intellect; but he also has an abundance of warmth, which goes from tbe heart of the speaker to the heart of tbe listener. This comes very near popularizing a heavy lecture. He is somewhat Greenesque, Green is; but the mannerisms are in keeping with the man, and all combine in making him at times intensely dramatic." Dr. Green will lecture' In Assembly hall next Monday evening, Dec 3rd. - Pointed Paragraphs. Destiny drops a man and then pro coeds to band him a gold brick. A girl hopes that the veil of the future will prove to be a bridal veil. Genuis never amounts to much nnless it is backed by common sense.. An author's brightness isn't always due to the burning of midnight oil. Tbe camel must be all right, other wise nature wouldn't have backed him up. If women were obliged to think of something to say they wouldn't talk so much. Many a conservative man lose bis -money on a sure thing because he is afraid to take chances. When a woman goes shopping the pitch of her voice depends on whether she asks for silk or calico. Probably more young men would be able to earn their own living if they didn't have fathers to support them. Men who think they know it all get a lot more of satisfaction out of life than those who know all that Is necessary for them to know. Chicago Xetcs.
