Pioneer Beechwoods
Settler Passed Away

Ky Ay
James Smith Spent a Long
And Useful Career In the
Beechwoods.
James Smith, one of the highly m
teemed old settlers of the Beechwooda
sectioa, died at his home on tlie Smith
homestead, one mile and a half out
from Falls Creek,, at 11.00 a. m. on
Wednesday, January 12, 1910, after a
few days illneas at the advanced huh
of 87 years. Mr. Smith raturned home
January 1st, of tnis year, from a visit
with Bsister at Coudersport, Pa. Mr.
Smith was boru in Bollybogan, Irelaud,
and came to this county early in life.
Sixty-two years ago he set: led on the
farm where he died. His wife died
about twenty-Bve years ago. Deceased
is survived by three sons and three
daughters: Albert and Thomas on old
homestead, Andy on a farm nearhv.
Mrs. A. A. Stewart, of Sandy Valley,
Mrs. Sherman Wilson, of Brookville,
Mrs. Daniel Musaer, of Braddock, Pa.
air. omitn was an uncle of A. T. Mc
Clure and P. D. Smith, of Reynolds
vllle.
Funeral service was heUi In the
Presbyterian fhuroh at Falls Creek
riaay forenoon, conducted by Revs.
8. D. Waldrop and George H. Hill.
Interment was made in the Beechwooa
cemetery. Mr. Smith was a remarkable man
for one of his age. He retained all his
faculties up to the last. He was a
great reader and was Blways well
posted on what was transpiring in hla
community and the world in general.
He was the most faithful attendant
at church and Sunday school of any
member In the Falls Creek Presby
terian church. Although 87 years old
yet up to time of his death he was a
teacher In the Sunday school. Think
of it some of yoa people who are too
old at 35 and 40 to go to Sunday school.
Sixty years ago last Sept. Mr. Smith
and sixteen other persons organized
and became members of the Beech
woods Presbyterian church. Of the
seventeen who united with the church
that day only two are now living, and
they are Mr. Ninian Cooper, of Reyn
oldsville, and Mrs. Thomas Hutchinson,
of near Falls Creek.
Honor In Wall' Street.
One would hunlly consider the New

light of "a communion of suIiiIh." In

the dully papers und the muck raking

to look for the very hiiuI and spirit of
Integrity. l"t there It Is "in the midst
of them." Between members of that

ever It may lend to Irreparable loss,
ruin, bankruptcy, uo matter the deal
Is closed. I am not professing to be an
apologist for whatever crimes may be
committed In the name of honor. 1
simply record the fact, to be ensily
verified, that the dealings on that ex
change are "on honor." The Corinthian

- A Tragedy In Writing.
Illegible handwriting, which hag glv
en rise to so many comedies, led to j
a irageuy m me case or uacner, a
musical enthusiast of the last century
who devoted several years to the com
position of a history of Viennese mu
sic. Ills task finished, he submitted
the manuscript to the Austrian im
perial academy, which he had been led
to believe would defray the cost of its
publication. After three months his
manuscript was returned. Despite
their best efforts the members had
been unable to decipher it Bacher
then endeavored to, have his work
copied, but every professional copyist
who undertook the task bad to confess
himself bullied. He thereupon at
tempted dictating the work, only to
find that even he could not decipher
it, and, heartbroken at the discovery
that his years of toll bad proved fruit
less, he attempted suicide and finished
his days in a lunatic asylum.

Her Cab.
Mary Ann of Lancaster Gate, base
ment, was having a week off and had
arrived back nt her little native vil
lage In nil her metropolitan paint and
feathers.
It was a very little native village,
and Mary Ann, after her many months'
service in town, didn't think so very
much of it. Even James, the station
porter and her old sweetheart, Beemed
hopelessly insignificant, and instead of
staggering him with the kiss that he
expected she looked him up and down,
comparing him with a certain gentle
man whose acquaintance she had re
cently made and who wore plush '
breeches and silk stockings.
"Porter," she said grandly, "do you
know if there is a cab here to convey '
me and my luggage home?"
"Well. I don't know about a cab,"
responded the staggered yokel, "but

On occasions of Impending danger
people sometimes do what seems to

When the steamship America, which
carried one of the Zlegler exploiting ex
peditions to Franz Josef Laud in 1903.
was being crushed by Ire the follow
ing winter it became necessary to
abandon the ship In haste. Ordera
were given to unload upon the Ice
everything that would be of use in the
long winter yet before the men. The
work must be done with dispatch.
While the crew was passing the
bags over the side of the ship the cook,
who was of on excitable nature, sud
denly appeared at the rail with a large
bag, which he heaved over with all his
strength. It struck the Ice below with
a resounding crash, causing one of the
sailor's to exclaim:
"Hello, coolc, what was that?"
"Oh, that is all right," be answered.
"It was lamp chimneys nnd flattrons."
But it was hardly all right, for dur
ing the winter they were obliged to cut
the bottoms out of pickle bottles and
use them in place of chimneys thnt

Doubtless True.
A teacher in a Birmingham school
was endeavoring to explain the term
"booking" as applied to our railway
system, says London Tit-Bits.
"Now," he was saying, "can any of
you tell me the name of the odlce at
which railway tickets are sold?"
"The booking ofllce,"' replied one of
the lads.
"Right," responded the teacher..
At this moment his eye fell on a
small boy at the end of the class who
was evidently paying very little atten
tion to what was said.
"Did you hear that. Spry?" he demanded.
'Wot, sir?" asked thnt youth Inno-
pohr and the Violin.
Louis Spohr, the greatest of all Ger
man violinists and a man whose name
Is otherwise Indelibly writ leu on t he
pages of musical history, wus boru at
Brunswick on April (5, 1784. Just fifteen
days after his great contemporary and
rival, Mcolo raguuinl, first saw the
light of the world. Two greater .con
trasts than these two men could not
be imagined. Paganlnl. the brilliant,
dazzling, comet-like apparition, over

and example exerted a tremendous In
fluence on violin plnyiiig and violin
composition and, In fnct, ou composi
tion in general. The greatest musi
cians of bis dny stood In awe of him.
and even Richard Wagner, after Spohr
hud produced "The Flying Dutcuuinu"
H Cassel in IS43, where he was then
conductor of the opera, in a letter writ

A newspaper man who called on a
local manufacturer the other day to

In no mood for friendly calls. He was
in a white beat.
"What's the matter?" asked the vis
itor. "You don't seem pleased to see

"Oh, I would be pleased to see you,"
said the other, "if I wasn't so mighty

Arsenic Is mined in Japan, Italy,
Portugal, Spain, Germany, England
and, within a limited area, in the
United States. Its uses are many. As
a poison it has been known from very
early times. The peasant women of
Austria consume large quantities of it,
having faith In its virtues as a beauti
fler, and the men of the same region
are addicted to Its nse In the mistaken
belief that it increases their bodily
strength and endurance.

Odd French English.
A correspondent has been studying
English pronunciation in a French dic-
! tlonary (Pierre Larousee, 1890) and
picks out a few examples to show how
much effort Is necessary for a French
I man to acquire a true articulation of
English. They are all taken from
a surprisingly long list of English
phrases current lu France. "Broken
down" (as applied to a race horse) is
"bro-k'n-daoun." "Dead heat" is ren
dered as "dld-hith," which Is ingenious,
but hardly correct "Ai-lalf is not a
bad attempt for "high life," although
the aspirate Is missing. "Self govern
ment" looks an even more Imposing
political Ideal as "self gheuvernmentt,"
and the word "shocking" Is quite ap
plicable when rendered "chok-lnn-que."
The opening words of Hamlet's fa
mous soliloquy have a decidedly for
eign look, "Ton bl or nott tou bl,
that is thl kouess-tcheunn." Manches

Brought Down the House.
On one occasion, when. Arthur Rob
erts, the English actor, was perform
ing the part of Captain Crosstree lu
the burlesque of "Black Eyed Susan"
at Glasgow he converted an awkward
contretemps into a bit. in one of the
scenes Crosstree entered supposed to
be Inebriated and staggered about the
stage. In doing so Mr. Aoberts acci
dentally came In contact with the
scenery of the inn, bringing the whole
set down. The curtain had to be low
ered, and the vivacious comedian
came to the front and said. "Ladies
and gentlemen, you see when we come
to Glasgow we always bring down the
braaa."
Supreme Court Ways.
When the supreme court of the Unit
ed States assembles at 12 o'clock on
each Monday the room is filled with
lawyers, clerks, newspaper men and
spectators. Houtine announcements
are made by the chief justice In a
voice no one can understand. Deci
sions of great moment are rendered by
other justices In mumbled words which
are not heard. Lawyers, clerks, news
paper men and spectators stare hard at
the honorable justice who may be talk
ing or reading, some with hands curv
ed into a round board so tbat'tbey can
catch a few words if possible. But no
one In the courtroom shouts "Louder!"
No one would last very long if he did.
And should a person be sentenced for
contempt of the supreme court it would
be the end. As an old colored em
ployee once said, "Dere ain't no appeal
from dis cote." St. Louis Star.

State Dispensaries
Accomplish Good
Ravages of Tuberculosis Are
Surely Being Lessened By v
State Supervision,
That the State aid extended to tubei
ouhmls sufferers through the Depart
ment of Health dispensaries Is reach
in); .he really needy la evldnnoed by
oaroful statistics that Heult.h Com
missioner Dixon hHS just compiled.
Tho?e statistics which are based upon
a total of 0.303 patients examined at
the dispensaries, of whom 6.728 were
found to have tuberculosis, "ffurlnir a
period of seventeen months ending
December 31, 1008, bdow the average
family income la the homes from which
these patients came was 124.63 per
month. The averaee number of per
sons in the family was 4.38 and the'
average per capita income was 15.60.
"These facts are particularly gratify
ing" said Mr. Dixon. "With the
thousands of tuberculosis patients
whom we are asked to help it is quite
possible that occasionally the State's
charity Is imposed upon. We are fully
justified however, by the tabulated
reoords, in drawing the conclusion that
the really needy poor among Pennsyl
vania's unfortunate victims of tuber
culosis are the ones that are being
helped, just as the law making the
appropriation contemplated."
An interesting study of the possible
source of Infection can be made from
the dispensary statistics. In 2,404 cases
there was every reason to believe
that the disease was contracted In the
home from another member of the
family. This shows bow Important is
the work which, the visiting nurses of
the dispensaries are doing in teaching
the members of the household how to
guard agalnBt being infected by one of
the family who has the disease.
In 474 cases the possible source of
infection was a fellow employe. Fully
alive to the danger from this source
the State Department of Health has
communicated direct with all the large
employers of labor throughout the
State, urging the necessity of frequent
medical inspection and calling atten
tion to tbe State's dispensaries where
suepeoted casee among the poor will
be examined at any time free.

which had a zoological trend. He de

Daniel, who entered the den of raven

auditors listened with interest, and

doubts as to tbe authenticity of the
tales.

rose up and inquired, "Say, pahson,
