MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF WILLIAM
HARRIS SUNDAY MORNING PUZZLES FRIENDS
Drove to Camp Quay, Above
Sandy Valley Saturday
Night.
DESERTED HORSES FOUND
NEXT MORNING IN CAVE-IN
Searching Parties Organized
By Relatives Scour Woods
For Three Days Without
Finding a Trace of the Man,
Between twelve and one o'clock
Saturday night Thomas Mitchell and
Audley Myers went to K. C. Burns'
"livery Btable and hired a double team
and driver to take them to the Quay
Camp In Beechwoods. William Harris
went along as driver, Mitchell and
flyers say that Harris started on the
return trip from camp about S.OO a.
m., but he has not yet returned to town
and although a search has been made
bo trace of Harris has been found.
.Jake Boyer, who lives about a mile
from 'Quay Camp, found the team of
horBes almost buried in an old coal
mine near his home about ten o'clock
Sunday forenooD. One horse was on
top of the other, the harness was al
most all torn off the horses and they
were badly bruised and skinned. It is
doubtful whether one of the horses will
recover. When the horses worn found
Mr. Boyer sent a boy to Sandy Valley
and Borne teen went to the old mine
and had to work several hours before
they got the horses out. The props
were taken out to mouth of mine tit d
the roof cut down so the horses could
walk out. It was Burns' spirited team
of bob-tailB.
The township road formerly crossed
over the old mine near opening, but
people had been driving around the
mine for sometime, but the road over
top of mine had never been closed to
the public, and on the return trip the
team had started over the old road
, and the earth caved in with thohones.
'It is hot known whether Hants whs
in the hack when the team fell Into
the mine, or whether he got frightened
and skipped out when he saw the
horses plunging in the deep hole. It Is
'hardly possible that he would runaway
and leave the team in the mine. Har
ris' disappearance Is a great mystery,
Mr; Harris, father of the lost man,
who resides at Brockwayvillo, with
others has been searching for his lost
son the past two days. He Is of the
" opinion that something serious has
happened to his son. Wm. Harris is
twenty-eight years old.
There was a report here last evening
that a man answering to description
of Harris was seen going towards Ram-
I sevtown yesterday afternoon.

The Virtue of Silence.
, There Is a charity that consists in
withholding words, in abstaining from
speech, if to speak is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tales of slander,
but does not repeat It; listens in silence,
but forbears comment; theri locks the
unpleasant secret up in the very depths
of his heart. Silence can still rumor;
it is speech that keeps a story alive,
and lends It vigor. It is In the ind
and pnntla heart that nharltv nhiriaa
with the peacefulness of a dove. There
it makes Its home, and by the word
withheld, and the kindly one out
spoken, we have the sign of the dove
of peace nestling in the heart For
kind words are like "apples of sold in
; pictures of liver." Exchange.

Nagging.
The Erie lHapntck makes these ob
servations on nagging, a habit that
dooB more toward making life miserable
for more people than any other In the
entire catalogue :
"There is nothing so sure to drive
happiness from home, as the habit of
nagging. The parent who does this
makes life niUerable for all under the
roof. Children, servants, everybody
responds vastly better to carefully word
ed praise than to constant fault-finding.
"Of oourse, there will always be some
short-comings to correct. Our children,
not being bom angels, it is unfair to
expect them to be perfect.
"The wise mother tries to say 'do'
as often aspoBslble, Instead of 'don't.'
She knows when to be blind and deaf to
childish doings, aud when to correct,
but she will never nag at a child, for
that Is sure to do more harm than good.
"It has been well said: 'A mother Is
responsible for her child, body and soul.'
Too often people forget that the aver
age child, who has plenty of sleep, lots
of wholesome play and fresh air, and
ample nourishing food will not be
troublesome or 'bad.'
"Even the sainiliest mortal is not
proof against constant nagging, there
Is nothing so calculated to send children
away from the sheltering arms of home,
wbich should be made the dearest, hap
piest spot on earth."
CAMELS HARBOR HATRED.
Will Wait Until an Opportunity Ar
rives For Revenge.
, The Arab who lias lingered a camel
will throw Ills clothes upon the
ground, and the Infuriated beast after
stamping on thciu and tearing tliein
asunder with Its teeth goes on Its
way, and the driver Is thereafter quite
safe, us It seems to be an axiom with
the camel tlint no man shall be put in
peril of life twice for one offense.
The camel Is stupid save when an
gry nnd then seems to become almost
preternatural In carrying out Its venge
ful designs. Palgrave relates the fol
lowing story of a camel's revenge,
which serves to Illustrate this point:
"A lad of fourteen had conducted a
large camel laden with wood from one
village to another at a half hour's dis
tance. As the animal loitered or turn
ed out of the way Its conductor struck
it repeatedly and harder than It seem
ed to have thought be had a right to
do; but, not finding the occasion favor
able for taking Immediate quits, it
'bode Its time.' That time was not
long In coming.
"A few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to
his own village. When they were
about halfway on the road and at
some distance from any habitation the
camel suddenly stopped, looked delib
erately round In every direction to as
sure Itself that no one was in sight
and, finding the rond clear of passers
by, made a step forward, seized the
unlucky boy's head in its monstrous
mouth and, lifting htm up in the air.
flung htm down again on the earth
wltb the upper part of his skull com
pletely torn off.
"Having thus satisfied its revenge,
the brute quietly resumed its pace to
ward the village, as though nothing
were the matter, till some men who
had observed the whole, though unfor
tunately at too great a distance to be
able to afford timely help, came up
and killed it" London Telegraph.
Why He Drowned.
Describing the stringent police reg
ulations of Berlin, a citizen of that
city by way of illustration told the
following story:
"Schmidt and Krauss met one morn

" 'Have you heard,' says Schmidt,
'the sad news about Muller?
" No,' says Krauss. 'What is it?
'Well, poor Muller went boating on
the river yesterday. .The boat cap
sized, and he was drowned. The wa
ter was ten feet deep.'
" "But couldn't he swim T
"Swim? Don't yon know that all
persons are strictly forbidden by the
police to swim In the river.' "Phila

The R. H. S. and Big Run played a
game of football on the letter's grounds
on Tuesday of last week. The game
was very interesting during the first
half and open football was used by our
boys. The game started by Big Run
kicking to Reynoldsville. Heckman
got the ball on the 20-yard line and went
to Big Run's 45-yard line. Then our
quarter-back, Nolan, called a delayed
pass and carried about 15 yards. Boh
ren got the ball on a criss-cross and
with Nolan's interference made a touch
down. Aftor two minutes' play Burns
kicked goal. After the touchdown the
ball was kept about the middle of the
field. The first half ended with the
score 0-0 In favor of R. H. S. In the
second half Reynoldsville kicked to Big
Run. Reynoldsville held them for
downs and Big Run kicked. Heckman
recovered the ball and was downed after
running about twenty yards. Then
Nolan, trying another fake play, called
Bohren for a fake kick, who went
around the end for about 40 yards. For
various reasons the game was not fin
ished, the score remaining 6-0 in favor
of Reynoldsville. Line-up of R. H. S:
