Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1895-09-26


Living in the mountains of the Cum.
berland as he had since his birth, il
was not to be expected that he could
be of the higher type of manhood
which tradition assumes to be found
mostly along the broader paths of civ.
ilization, yet Jim Blatchman was not
found wanting when the time came,
albeit there was a strange tumble in
his ignorant mind of what constituted
heroism.
AZ least it may be called heroism,
though Jim didn't know it by that
name.
But to the story of 1t.
Jim was q young mountaineer OF
twenty-five, tall, loosely coupled, sal.
low of face, slow of speech, devoid OF
grace, and still having heart in him
which for year or more had been
wont to beat as trip hammer when
ever his eyes fell upon the pleasant
face of old Zeke Munyon's daughter
Martha.
And it was noticed by the gossips of
the Fork that Martha rather favored
Jim, for he owned little farm with u
hewed log house on it, and Martha, be-
ing ambitious in her social nature, felt
that hewed log house was none too
fine for her feather.
True, she had not been accustomed
to the luxury of hewed logs as house
material, for her fathers residence
was only of logs in the rough, but this
lack rather inflamed her ambition and
made her wish the more for those
things which she had not
Neither had it any appreciab BILE effect
upon her conscience that Jim made
more money selling the "moonshine"
that he made than he did selling the
crops that he made.
1t was the end, not the means there
to, which most interested this noun
tain maid.
To Jim, however, these slight dis.
crepancies of character did not appeal
lie was in love with Martha, and when
a man is in that condition nothing else
counts.
So time trotted on, until the wedding
day was almost in sight, and Martha
went to the county town to spend q
day and buy herself a calico gown and
a few other ''weddin' hxin's."
Bad day for jim.
At the tavern where Martha put up
she met fine-loolsing fellow, not of the
mountains, who was deputy United
States marshal by appointment, and a
''revenoo' by mountain title.
Usually the love of the noun taineer
for ''revenoo" is not Of tho kind that
pnsseth understanding, but Martha's
ambition led her in advance of her peo-
pie, and she looked Kindly on the Off
Ger and listened with many a blush to
his pretty speeches.
When she left for her home the officer
told her he would como to see her, and
Martha was SO pleased that she forgot
all about Jim.
Whether the officer was in love with
Martha or not may not be known, but
it is known that he came to see her;
that he came often; that the oftener
he came the better pleased he seemed
to be, and the upshot of it all was that
Jim felt called upon to speak to her
about the officer and his own relations
to the then existing situation.
"'Tain't that don't like you, Jim,
list ez much eZ | ever did " she said tn

mer girl than the white duck young

pass on the country roads are sure to
be discussing the wrist movements,
"holes" and drives" that's another.
Golf sprouted In earnest at Newport
last summer; this year it is in full
blossom. The great canary-colored
country club house out on the Ocean
drive, that is so nondescript in it's
architecture without, and so luxurious
within, is furnished with an eye single
to the comfort of golfers. There are
baths for use when you are heated, and
tired with golfng. There are massage
operators to rub you down when you
are stiff with too prolonged following
of the course. There are hair dressers
to make you pretty again, if you hap
pen to be woman and have gotten your
curls all out of order tramping over the
links on a hot afternoon. The only
souvenirs that Newport girls prize are
golf sticks, and If you look at the back
of their frocks you will see that the
jeweled pin that catches the belt to
the blouse is almost always a golf club
In miniature.
But at Lenox they play harder and
get more out Of the game The Lenox
Golf club has an eishteen-hole links
and the two miles and quarter of
rough country it covers gives one more
than exercise enough In dog days. The
best girl player at Lenox this summer
has been Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt,
who has gone over the entire course
with eighty-three strokes only. Mr..
James Barnes holds the record thus far
this summer with afty-three strokes,

Rattler and wild Cat,

Herman Brawser, of Port Jervis,
N. Y, while going to work witnessed a
terrific battle between a full-grown
wild cat and big rattlesnalse in a mar
row cleft of rocks. The rattler won,
the cat dying from numerous bites.
Brawser killed the snake 1t support

at LenoX as well as that laid out by
the Country club. Mr.. Anson Phelps
Stokes has six-hole course, which is
hard enough to be interesting, if not
long.
At Bar Harbor golf outweighs every
other attraction. The headquarters of
the golfers are at the beautiful Kebo
Valley clubhouse, well out on the
Eagle Lake road, under the mountains.

A SUBSCRIBER SINCE 1864.

Away back in the sixties, when T. B.
OdeneaI was editor and proprietor of the
GAZETTE, L. G. Kline located in Corvallis.
The new conner was not at that time pos
sessed of much of this worlds goods, but
he had an abundance of vim, energy and
business judgment. He began operations in
a small way, gradually increasing his bust.
ness as his capital would permit, until he
eventually became the leading merchant of
the county. During his long career in the
commercial field of Corvallis he gained an
enviable reputation as a prompt and reliable
business man, and it was with much regret
that many of his old customers learned of
his retirement from active business life some
tea years ago; having at that time acquired
a competency. He has since lived in a
quiet, unpretsntious way. from the income
of his investments. He has ever been ready
to lend a helping hand TO the needy and dis.
tresssd, as many persons living in Corvallis
will attest, who have received favors at his
hands. By looking over the old files of the
GAZETTE, it will be seen that Mr.. Kline was
a liberal advertiser, to which fact may be
attributed much of the success he attained
while in business here. Mr.. Kline was one
of the GAzErrE's iirst subscribers, having first
began taking the paper in 1864, since which
time he has been one its constant readers
In fact, he has read the paper SO long that
he believes it would be almost impossible
to keep house without it, and last Satur-
day he deposited two dollars for another
years subscription.
