Dght The Multitude Is AND ORIGINAL Gathering Dandelion Witness the mighty exodus to th country! Whither are; they bound, this multitude of women and children, who with baskets, bags and buckets, travel the roads leading out of Reading? Whither bound? Lis ten: Time was when the appearance of dandelion in all its golden blossoms upon the lawn in the spring meant to the housekeeper merely attractive floral display or an abominable nuisance, according to the manner in which the spring affected her. But that was before prohibition. In those days of freely flowing liquors dandelion wine was regarded as simply a medical beverage and only the sickly and the weak would imbibe its healing draughts. Mankind in general' much preferred to seek the panacea for their ills from bottled brands of something which could be carried without fear of cork sniffers and at prices that now seem ridiculous. Now it is different "The old order changeth'' as the prophet told us.

When prices of the old stuff have risen skyhigh, out of sight of Right FROM MV BCD IN THE BRmr vtrl UR oysters will strike a responsive chord in your food longing.

M. Bell Phone, DANCING EVERY THURSDAY EVENING UNION HALL (Fleetwood) Orpheum Banjo Orchestra many moderate Imbibers and when one is never certain as to whether the next bottle will contain furniture polish or hair tonic the dandelion has assumed a position of importance as a kick producer that grows, uncultivated in abounding quantities and at no cost whatever save the effort of gathering them. Old timers, who once despised and sneered at the liquid which was boiled from these blossoms, see In i those stretches of golden flowers supply of beverages that in time can produce the kick of a mule and the effects of a merry go round. Time was 'when the bespectacled person one met in the field gathering flowers was a botanist seeking speci mens which he would carry to his laboratory and label and classify. Now one Is not sure whether they are watching an operation' that will advance mundane knowledge, or evade the Volstead act.

i So as dandelions are springing forth in the vicinity of the Tellow Clay, Millmont, Angelica and Fritz's Island there occurs this great exodus which we mentioned in our opening paragraph. Whether the result will be a new song to rival Sullivan's Flowers That Bloom in the Spring" is uncertain, but of one thing we may be sure and that is that many and many a kick will be safely bottled as a result of these expeditions into the country. (VICTOR'RECORD ARTISTS) HAMBURG The following spent a pleasant in a social gathering at the hflme of Mr. and Mrs. Mahlon Sun dav and daughter.

Edna, South 3d street: Mrs: Emma Kruerson, Mrs. Louis Hehlor. Mrs. Georsre Wagner. Mrs.

Mayme Schock, Mrs. Clarence Rum berger, Miss Hannah, of town, and Mrs. Abraham Williamson, Scranton. The feature of the evening was the fine feast prepared by Mrs. Sunday.

Edward Francis is erecting a porch in front of his North 3d street home. Motes Moyer are the carpenters. The construction of these porches has become quite a fad among North 3d street residents, and while they add to the beauty of the homes, it gives the 'occupants much comfort and greater room to enjoy these comforts during the hot and long summer evenings. 1 Due to the little building going on here, and at present little prospect of any brick building to be erected, a number of bricklayers are working at Reading and Wyomissing, commuting daily on the Pennsylvania railroad. Kauffman Rohrbach, trading as the Hamburg Produce rented the room formerly occupied by the Penn meat market, in the American bouse corner of State, and 4th streets, and are fitting it out with display front stands.

The firm will handle all kinds of fruit, both domestic and foreign, and if the. market guarantees, will also handle sea food. The location is a splendid one and the large glass front will also permit a fine display of their goods. In the series for the town championship the All Stars redeemed themselves Friday evening, when they defeated the 106th Wagon Train Co. by 19 to 16.

The game was hotly contested. Following the son, Oscar whd was buried two months ago, the father, Amos S. Miller, was found dead in bed on Sunday morn nig by. his daughter in law, Mrs. Robert A.

Miller, was buried on Wednesday afternoon from the deceased's late home, State street. Services were held at the house by Rev. W. K. Fisher, of Zion church, as St.

John Lutheran church is without a regular pastor. The remains were viewed by many during the day prior to the obsequies. Interment was made in St. John cemetery, by the side of his wife, who preceded him in death' some years.

Urinptn (Copyright by Little, Brown Coaiwni (Continued.) Vs A For a long time after he had left the hut, prone upon the rough shanty boards, she strained her eyes at the door, as if a ghost had just passed through it. Granny Hope's voice called her name; and she came limping out of her room on her stick. "I heard a lot of folks talkln', Pol lyop," she said, "an' I got awful pains tonight.

It's the storm, I guess." Almost exhausted, Pollyop forced herself to stand up. I 7 "You hadn't ought to be out of bed, Granny," she remonstrated. "Yep, jruess It's the rain what makes you ache." Then Mrs. Hope noticed Bennett His eyes gazed at her a moment and then moved back to Polly. The old woman hobbled to the cot, and Polly came to her side silently.

"He's awful I guess, ain't heT observed Mrs. Hope, looking up Into the girl's face. lepr atnrmative was but a "Goln' to die, huh?" whispered the other. A rdeep sob. rose to the girl's Hps, brought almost to utterance by her Intense suffering.

"Mebbe!" was all she could say. "Poor man," the woman muttered, wrinkling up her face. "Dyln's awful hard thing for some folks." A startled expression, smoothing away some of the hard lines, spread over. Oscar's face. In the presence of death," which every squatter held In superstitious awe, Polly dropped down upon her knees beside the bed.

Her own hurt had been overcome by the desire to help him if she could. And there, while the Its lii Lare Drops Appeared on Bennett's Brew; 'and Granny Hope Lifted Ons Withered Hand and Brushed Them Away. fury into the lake, and the wind shook the shanty, the three kept quiet vigil. Large drops appeared on Bennett's brow and Granny Hope lifted one withered hand and brushed them away. "Love'll carry you over weary places, big dear," she wheezed.

"It's all love is, sir." Oscar's staring eyes lost something of tlfe abject fear they had shown, as if he had heard and was comforted. Then over his face swept that look that comes but once to any Inian. "Aw the Chrlst'll help you, too, honey," Granny Hope went on again smiling. Polly, weeping silently, bent forward and gazed hard at the dying farmer. Oscar wanted to stay a little longer.

He was trying to speak; but she knew he could not. To help him through the valley of shadows and upward Into eternal light, she thrust her head close to his. is givln' you rest, Oscar mau!" she whispered. Pollyop's sobbing voice penetrated into the young man's darkening sensibilities, and the ghost of a smile crept to his Hps. Then slowly his eyes closed.

The strained muscles relaxed from about his mouth, leaving it more boyish; and thus did the Storm country give back to Evelyn Robertson her freedom. v. After that came dark days for Polly op. Even the reproduction of The Greatest Mother in the World, which hung in its accustomed place on the shanty wall, failed to lift the heavy load that rested like a stone in her bosom, N'o more did she stand before it and dream dream of a deep toned voice telling her of love and future.
