R., due here at 6.35 a. m., was two hours late leaving here yesterday morning. The ash-pan on engine dropped down and caught in the switch frog just east of Hopkins and derailed the tender of tho engine. The train was speeding along at pretty fast rate when tender jumped the track and it is marvelous what prevented the coaches from jumping off the track. It was necessary to get another engine at this place to haul the train to Driftwood. Raymond E.

Page McNutt, ot New Bethlehem, who was an engineer on the Low Grade Division back in the seventies, when the speed of freight trains was not limited, attended the B. P. O. E. memorial service . in Centennial ball at this place Sunday afternoon. On account of being crippled with rheu matism, Page quit railroading a num ber of years ago, but many of the old inhabitants along the Low Grade still remember Page McNutt on account of his apparent delight in blowing the engine whistle. Page was noted as the whistling engineer. At every road crossing, and sometimes where there were no road crossings, the long, shrill blasts of his engine notified denizens far and near that an iron horse was traversing through the country. When three or four miles away from a station Page generally began blowing the whistle and kept at it until his train stopped at or passed by the station. If a train Page McNutt was hauling ever struck any person it was not because they had not been sufficiently warned of the approach of the train. In those days people that gave any attention to railroading could tell when McNutt's train was coming before the train reached O'Donnell from the west or Pancoast from the east. Page was not only good at hanging to the whistle, but he was a good engineer and could get a train over the road as quick as any of the boys. Pleasant Social Event. The banquet in the Knights of Pythias hall last Friday evening was a very pleasant social event. Wm. Copping says, "It was Immense." There were eighty guests present. Alex Riston waB chef and the feast was a good one. In addition to tickling the palate with good things short speeches were made and there was vocal music The ban quet marked the twenty-ninth anni versary of the organization of Valiant Lodge No. 461, K. of P. Postmasters Under Civil Service. Tuesday of last week President Roose velt threw the civil service mantle over all fourth class post masters in fourteen states, including Pennsylvania, which applies to about 15,000 postofflces. The Congressmen have long been accus tomed to look upon the postofflces as their political "spoil," and the Presi dent's order was quite a shock to Con gressmen. If tho scheme now under taken becomes permanent it will likely mean that fourth class postmasters now In office in the states named will become holders of life jobs so long as their be havior is up to civil service standard. Daughters of St. George. Last Thursday evening Mrs. Annie Justham InBtalied the following officers in Pride of Reynoldsvllle Lodge No. 81, Order of Daughters of St. George: W. P.

If reports be correct there are some pupils In our high schools of whom the accusation will never be made that wad made against Paul when he was before King Agrippa, "Much learning doth make thee mad." Dame Rumor says they lack interest, are indifferent to school life and would rather "gad" the streets in the evening than study. When the golden opportunities of school days have glided away and the now indifferent pupils arrive at the age of maturity and have combat with the responsibilities of life, then, when too late, they will see what they have missed.

After his address a short time was spent in a round table meeting in which all took great interest. This was followed by lunch and a general good social time. The lateness of the hour brought the pleasant gathering to a close and all went home resolved to live more devoted to the great princi ples of Freedom, Friendship and Chari ty. One Who Was There. Call of the Wild. - It Is not surprising that bo many men hear the call of the wilds and hie them to the mountains to hunt. It 1b not be cause they love to kill or that they are delighted with the sight of blood. It is because there is a Bense of freedom and relief from care when roaming through the foreBts and breathing the pure air of the mountains, that Is ravlshingly sweet. To get away from humanity, from everything that is artificial and false, and feel that you are free as the eagle of the crags, 1b to taste of genuine happiness.
