BURG TOOK BARETOWN PEP IN LAST STANZA team took on a sudden brace in the ninth inning, in the game with Roaring Spring on Saturday afternoon, the Papertown lads went up in the air, turning the game into a comedy of errors, Bolger became much worried when the Burgers began suddenly to connect with his famous curves, and it is quite likely that the home team would have won the game if there had been another inning to play. Lefty Morrow fooled the visitors pertectly when he began pitching, but on account of his weak physical condition could not hold out long, and a great a mistake was made in not taking him out of the box in the third instead of the fifth inning, and replacing him with Freddie Brenner.

This game had the most exciting finish of any game ever played at Dysart Park. Hollidaysburg fans went wild i with excitement when the home piled up five runs in the last inning, Expecting to go home with the score at 10 to 1, the Papertown Boys were much disappoi.ted to the score so well evened up at the last, and left the I field very meekly, quietly instead of rending with cheers of victory.

EVERYTHING MUSICAL The Brooks Music House 1906 11th Altoona. A POET SAID: "A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever; It's Loveliness Increases; It will Never Pass Into Nothingness." 80: 0 How true rings the words of the thing of beauty is a joy forever." Consider a beautiful walnut dining room suite, richly finished, its beautiful lines and graceful contour; such a suite i is a joy forever, and with the years you live with it, its loveliness increases, and as you grow older it brings back the time hollowed memories of your early home life- -your hopes, sorrows and joys. "It will never pass into nothingness." Surely not, you will recall from the very day you started out to buy, how you looked around, all over town, and then someone said to you.

"Why don't you see Harry Kerlin, everybody is saying what wonderful furniture he is showing, and then you walked way up here to this dingy building and up five steps, and then Oh! what pretty furniture, so new, clean and well finished. Does it ever pass into nothingness You look back to the day it was first put in your home and you look at it now, and after all these years it looks as good today as it did then. There is a heart throb in every piece of it, well can you remember when baby, now that big strapping boy, how his head just came to the top of the table, and readily you can picture the little fellow trying his best to see what is on the top. Such memories can only be recalled by good furniture, that will never pass into nothingness, and it is such furniture that we are selling, and at the new prices at which we offer new furniture recently purchased at Grand Rapids, we can sell you at less than special sale prices.
