Tit. iTsT ii 1 1. 11 MO- miiki 11 i i mm iiiiim" i I wa DPLEIJUID mm Census Shows a Healthy FORMER IliDim UOlli KILLED BY STREET CAR Religious Sentiment Here The People Received the Canvassers Kindly and Were Ready With the Information Desired The following ta'i'e emtio-iies the results ejf (he chinch ctusun taken on the aftern of Sunday. June 25. The work was mo thoroughly done and great credit is due the men wi.o undertook the job and carried it through so successfully.

AM the can- vassers report hit they were kindly received by the people and that they experienced more than the expected amount of pleasure in making the can- vass. In a comparison of this report with the church and Sunday School rolls, a shortage will likely be noticed. This is explained by the fact that no report was taken of members in the country preference, and even one of these families attend some churche and five Sabt ath schools. Only six families refused to give the desired information. The census was taken for the benefit of all the churches and schools of town, and all of them joined in the work.

It is proposed now that each church study the report given to it, and lo- cate all those who have expressed their Tirpfprpnep for it nr it Sunriav ohnnl i but who are not attending and en. deavor to bring them into active service; also that all the churches join in an effort to get the 61 persons that 11,81 have no preference, to attend some of! that add tt.e number in the Home Department aiid theCradleRoll.and deduct the total thus found from the number of persons expressing a preference. for their church or school, they will find the number of persons who are not in Sunday school, and thus come to a i realization of the amount of work there is for them tf do. I i districts or at the Normal school, from i the churches. which all the local churcht and schools I If the Sunday school superintendents derive considerable support.

The tabu- will take the number of scholars at-' lation of the work of the 75 or more tending their respective schools, and to canvassers shows accurate and careful work on their part The report should be carefully stulied by all. as it reflects great credit upon the people of town as a Church-going community, Of 1.524 houses, representing 4,939 individuals, only 32 homes, represent- ing 61 people, do not have a church Church Preference.

"I guess you've got mixed in your mind between horseflesh thirty years old and cold storage beef." And he dls-sppeared in the darkening twlllgbt to' sputter his wrath to the patient eara of Lizzie. The next morning at 10 o'clock be faced a triumphant Lorenzo across the barnyard fence. "Well, you're too late now. even If you've a niind give fifty," remarked Mr. Nettle.

"What do you mean? You ain't never sold Palsy?" challenged Jacob. "That's it "Who lu?" asked Jacob "The minister over to ElmviUe. He saw her yesterday, and he et word by Pan night he'd take her. He's giving tifty for her. Seems know what he's about too." "Seems to me if I was going to sting-a minister on a horse deal I wouldn't take so much from him." declared Jacob, crimson with anger and contempt.

Lorenzo flushed. "You're mad be cause you ain't got the price to buy her yourself." "I am mad because you won't sen for what she is worth. The least you can do to make things right for that minister. Lorenzo Nettle, is to tlx that horse tip so she'll look respectable for a minister to drive behind." "What would yon do?" demanded Lorenzo, opening the stable door andt leading forth the object of discussion; Jacob surveyed his lost opportunity with tender eyes. "I'd begin by giving her a good scrubbing with warm water and yaller soap and rinse her good till she was white as when Uncle Willie used to drive her.

Then oak her mane in warm water and comb ont all the burs and tangles till It was white and fluffy, and I'd braid a blue ribbon in her forelock. I'd rub her down till she shined like satin, and I'd cut her fetlocks and trim her hoofs and oil 'em, and I'd have her new shod, and then I'd rub her down good with liniment to take some of the kfnk onter ber muscles. With her tail waving like a white plume she'd look like one of tbem old battle chargers, eh?" "By all your talk reckon she would. I a'pose I might as well do it, though," agreed Lorenzo as a sop to his rather burdened conscience. Late that afternoon a rejuvenated Daisy, as white as the simple flower for which she was named, was turned Into the daisy grown meadow to caper awkwardly about on her singularly trim feet.

The blue ribbon dangled above her astonished good eye and gave her a decidedly rakish appearance, but with her knees hidden in the nd 8nf ver nanasome as sue moyeu aiow ij iv auu fro, nipping daintily with her worn teeth and soft white nose. Jacob Keene stood afar and looked on her now white form with tears in his eyes and was not ashamed. To him he was the one horse he had always desired, and now she would never be his. That night at 11 o'clock be was called forth by the excited hired nun to Lorenzo Nettle's barnyard "What's tbe he demanded anxiously. "She's dead." snapped Lorenzo.

That horse is dead. That comes of washing her and" "I've done that lots of times. Mr. Nettle." protested his hired man. -only I guess yon let her outdoors too soon." "And she hasn't been paid for." want on Lorenzo bitterly.

DAISY She Rewards a Patient Waiter By CLARISSA MACKIE Cop right by l'rf! Ao-rlatlon. 1S11. The liurnyard feue divided Jacob Keene's farm from tliut of Ins neighbor. Lorenzo Nettle. Jacob leaned over the feme and lookr-d wistfully ut the gaunt framed white mare tliut drooped dejectedly near the closed door of her stable.

Her rapped, unkempt mane was tangled with burs, some of last year's crop. One eye was of that dull blue, denoting a sightless vision; the other optic, of a soft brown mildness; was turned toward the watchful Mr. Keene. The mare shifted her sprung knees aud wheezed patiently. Jacob turned and stumped into tbe hofse, scattering the gathered chickens with bis sudden impetuosity.

"Lizzie." he -said, addressing bis wife, "It's a confounded shame how Lorenzo treats that mare. I wish I had the money to buy Daisy off of him." Mrs. Keene turned mild blue eyes on her irate lord. "I wish you had. dear." she said meekly.

"Wishing don't do any good." snapped Jacob. "That's what I was thinking." she admitted tactlessly. "Humph! That's all the sympathy I get. Lizzie Keene." "You're making yourself sick over that horse," objected Mrs. Keene as her husband moved his chair away from his half tasted supper.

"If Lorenzo won't sell Daisy to you. why don't you give up the idee?" Jacob glared out of the window and 6waIlowed hard. "It ain't that Loren zo don't want to sell the critter, Lizzie," he explained impatiently. "He ain't got no use for her with the brown horse. He's just naturally a mean hunks and because he knows I've been wanting to buy back Daisy ever since Uncle Willie sold it to Lorenzo without giving me first bid on it I never heard of a Nettle yet that knew how to treat a critter human." "He gives her enough to eat, don't he?" asked Mrs.

Keene deprecatingly. "Yes. after he's kept her waiting long enough, and she gets drink, too. after awhile. But If she only had half the attention that the brown one gets she'd make a mighty good looking horse." His wife opened her eyes wide.

"But she's terrible sprung, and somebody said she had the heaves, Jacob." "Heaves or no heaves, I'll bet I could make that critter look like a lady in-' aide of a week," asserted Jacob conn-' dently. "I've never forgot how she looked when Uncle Willie used to 1 drive her to church on Sundays. White as snow she was, and her mane all crinkly like silk, with a blue ribbon tied in her forelock. She looks white as snow now, don't she?" he jeered. pointing at the sorry procession enter-, ing the Nettle stable.

Mrs. Keene arose and pressed her thin nose to the win- -dow. First there frisked the Nettle dog, as If her rasping bark might induce great-' srwd to th leisnrplv nrorres of thi i blighted Daisy, who in with banging head. Lorenzo Nettle follow-. ed, twirling an empty corn measure 1 on his broad palm ami perhnps casting a speculative eye toward the sunset reddened windows of bi iieivhhor Lorenzo Nettle was not inhuman nnr i was he hard hearted: he merely loved I money, and he had learn' that a little 1 apparent neglect toward Daisv would only enhance her value in the eyes of 1 the nephew of her former owner.

Nor was he mistaken, for scarcely had he closed the statile door upon the old mare, now comfortably writers! and fed In her stall, than Jac i Keene's rotund form loilt-d on tbe other side of the fence. "Howdy?" inquired Lorenzo genially, "Quite some." replied Jacob absent ly. Then. "I say. Lorenzo, what abom selling Palsy?" Lorenzo Nettle Ktraightened sudden- i ly and looked sharply at bis neighbor "Well, what about selling ber?" "You said you'd eousider my offer of $17," protested Mr Keene.

"I have considered it and I don't consider it enough. Now. Jacob, you know your Uncle Willie set great store by Daisy! When he sold her to me he 1 aid sbe'd made her three minutes over to Fray's track tbe summer tbe even year locusts oMn come when uaer wnj true, am yon snow uurueu I well you can't expect to get a three Biaute trotter for $17!

The woman was struck a heavy blow by the car which threw her directly in front of the car and the defective fender refused to pick the body up. The head was horribly crushed by one of the car wheels, a ragged hole was cut in the woman's shoulder and many-bones were broken.

INCENDIARISM STR0N6LT SUSPECfB About 2: 30 on Tuesday morning, June 27, the punch bouse of the West Penn Powder Company, near Tunnelton, was blown up. At the time of the explosion there was no person in the place.

Those in a position to know maintain that the explosion was the result of incendiarism. There were in the neighborhood of500 pounds of dynamite in the building the time of tbe explosion, which could be heard for a radius of several miles. A number of houses quite distant from the scene where shaken by the con-cusson and the inmates were badly frightened. The punch house was situated, like all the other buildings of tbe company. in the woods, to prevent any serious injury should one of tbem be the scene of an explosion.

They are sufficiently art Iar apari IO prevent an explosion in one from causing troudle in any of the adjoining buildings. Tbe punch house was where tbe dynamite cartridges were loaded for shipment. While tbe loss is not known definitely it is thought to bs in tbe neighborhood of $1,500. Had tbe explosion occurred during tbe day. in all probability a number of lives would have been lost as a number of men have occasion to he about this bcildiny daring the day.

This is the worst explosion that the West Penn Powder Company nave ever bad at their Tanneltoo plant. A tborosujb investigation is bein? made to detvrtnine. if possible, what caused the sjptasjon. XSStk Has frenWes tke a. ampzst rawTvasy.
