A Place of Simple Homes.

Homes are as unOStentatiouS as the places
of business There is no display anywhere.
Everything is simplicity and old style
There is no other than the granite church
for miles around. There is no need of an
other. No person not q Catholic has ever
been known to live in Loretto, founded
hundred years ago by the famous Prince
priest Demetrius Galitzin. 1t is noted In
church history as the home of Catholicism
in western Pennsylvania
The People of Schwabs boyhood home
have the one predominant trait of living
together as one family, entirely under the
spiritual ard largely under the material
guidance Of Father kittei the Franciscan
brothers at the college and the gentle sis
tiers of he convent.
Their other characteristics are those of
villagers whose only link with the side
world i the now famous stage line running
twice a day to CressOn. the nearest railroad
point. six miles away. They are simple
minded. simple in their needs. open hearted
and a. unaffected as the day is long.
When Charles NJ SChwab arrives here no
one stands IN awe of him. notwithstanding
the fact that ne has been the only man
who ever went out from Loretto and
amassed great wealth. When he drives
along the street, Paddy Moran. as typi-

THOSE GNAWING RATS.
Common and Curious Illusion.

81 felt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia, of
which the horrible sensation they thus de-
scribe is symptom. Other signs are a
heaviness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and Nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted andin eS-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring on acute inhammatory dys-
pepsia or gastric catarrh, with symptoms
and results which make life q terror. Ask
anybody who has it.
The best of medicines is the new medi-
cine, Calcura Solvent, discovered by DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kings

Annual Memorial Day Exercises.

The annual Memorial day exercises
took place for the first time in our new
town hall Friday. The program was
made up as follows: Music by the
band; prayer, Rev. W. f. White: rec
itation, Florence Young: recitation,
Pauline Archibald; song, Miss Owen s
school; recitation, Forrest Packard
recitation, Edna Weeks: song, Thomas
Raleigh; recitation, Rose Duggan ;
song, Miss Lanes school; recitation,
Miss Kelley: and address by Rev. w.
E. Waterbury of Springfield. Mr..
Waterbury said that the people of this
country are now getting the old world
spirit in recognizing the value of the
monumental idea; and have recorded
the deeds of the G.. A. r. in monu-
ments. None of these, however, is like
the one day in 800 which has been set
aside memorial day and upon which
is engraved: Sacred to the memory
of the dead heroes; sacred to the fell
lowship of the heroes who still live. y
He spoke of the part which the women
of the country had in the dreadful
trials of the civil war and held that that
war was the great awakening time for
women. While the men were lighting,
the women were obliged to take charge
of the homes and their executive abil-
ity was awakened. He described the
death of his own father who vas a sol
dieI, and who, i'll with fever, was sent
home to die. In delirium he fancied
himself still with his troops, stretched
forth his hand supposing he held a
sword and crying, Forward, March, .
his soul marched on. "Today,H he
II leave with you men of
this camp, my fathers word, the vet
Grams word and those who sleep in
yonder cemetery, Forward, March. 2"
a fter the exercises in the town hall
procession was formed and marched to
the cemetery, where the members of
the Woman's Relief corps performed a
service for the unknown dead, and
flowers were placed upon the graves of
the veterans.

About GO friends of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
w. Proctor surprised them most pleas
antly on the tenth anniversary of their
marriage Thursday evening. They
gathered in the town hall at about s
O'Clock where they greeted the unsus-
pecting couple, who had been invited
over there for a game of cards. Re
freshments were served, and DR.. Wood
in behalf of the company, presented
Mr. and Mrs Proctor with fine sum
of money as an expression of esteem
and respect. Mr.. Proctor responded
with brief but fitting remarks. Mr..
and Mrs. Proctor, who have lived in
Mortified since their marriage, expect
to move to Greenfield soon where Mr..
Proctor is now in business.
