Work OF Colonial Danes.

Miss Agnes Hollingsworth Whar-
ton. historian Of the National Society
OF the Colonial Danes of America,
has issued her annual report of the
of it is interesting to the general pub
lie Among commemorative celebra-
tons is noted that of the Connecticut
society, which celebrated the found
ing of Yale college by putting up a
monument on the village green at
BranfOrd to mark the spot where the
ten founders brought their books for
the purpose of establishing a college
in the colony. The society is now try
ing to buy the house of the Rev.
Henry Whitfield, at Guiliford said to
he the Oldest colonial house in New
England. The Pennsylvania society
has restored and furnished Stenson.
the house built in 1928 by James Lo-
gan, secretary to William Penn.
Washington Madison, Jefferson and
other colonial dignitaries were en-
tertained in this house.
In North Carolina the old church
Of st. Philip on Cape Fear river,
built in 1925, has been purchased and
restored, and in South Carolina the
old powder magazine at Charleston,
which dates back to a period many
years before the revolution, has been
secured. From all over the United
States valuable trees have been sent
to adorn the Roger Williams park
which is in care of the Colonial
Danes of Rhode Island.
Nearly all the state societies have
entered into the plan OF offering
prizes for school and college essays
on colonial subjects. In Massachu-
setts the prizes are offered to stu
dents in women's colleges, Wellesley,
Radcliffe and Mount Holyoke; in
Pennsylvania they go to the high
schools, in West Virginia to the six
normal schools OF the state, and Sc
on.-New York Post.

beautiful country home in Adams,

Clara Barton goes for rest and com

musical instruments are in the liv-
ing room. Miss Holley was a music
teacher before she found fame and
fortune in one book. She is poet
and composer of music Because
Of these accomplishments, not less
than the sympathy of New England
birth, Clara Barton, schooled to war,
finds solace in the companionship of
the poet and humorist.
Striking is the difference in ap.
pearance between the heroine of the
war hospital life and the creator of
Betsy Bommit. Slight of stature, old
fashioned beyond recall in manner
and dress, Clara Rarton conceals SO
well her force of character that hers
appearance. SO low is her voice that
it can be heard with difficulty in CON
versatlon, unless ears are all atten-
tion. Marietta Holley is handsome
big, commanding, with soft, fluffy,
white hair, large, brown, velyety eyes
and fair complexion. She would at
tract attention anywhere, and never
more 50 than when walking or riding
with Clara Barton. Twice a year she
comes to New York. If possible, Clara
Barton always joins her, and they
have good, old4fashioned visits to-
gether in an uptown hotel. Gowns
and royalties play no part in the

Mount MelIick Embroidery.

Mount MelIick Embroidery.
This beautiful relic of Middle Age
faminine art and love of beauty in
handWork is comparatively easy to
learn When once learned it will
be found susceptible of many varia
tions Unlike most fancy work, it
is not hard On the eyes. It requires
no shading, as it Is always worked
in white upon white cloth. 1t can be
used almost any place about the house
and is especially suitable for toilet
sets, doilies, lambrequins, counter
panes, tea cloths, etc. Mount Mel
lick work has quite a distinctive style.
every leaf and flower being worked in
close, elaborate stitches or in raised
padded satin stitch. 1t is heavy en-
broidery, strong and durable, being
most generally worked on white sat
in jeans with cotton of varied sizes.
1t is frequently finished with knitted
fringe, but the fringe is not essential;
in fact, it is not always effective.
Only floral designs are used in
Mount Mellick, but they are varied.
Passion flowers, blackberries, wild
rose and all kinds of grasses and vines
are especially effective, and can be
varied with delightful effects. It's spe-
cial beauty is its stitchery, the de-
sign merely serving to show the
stitches off, and no one stitch is con-
fined to certain use. Flowers and
leaves and vines may be worked in
hundred ways, and the French knots
and bullion knots worked in where
the artistic eye shows they will i'm
prove the piece. Almost every piece
OF Mount Melliek work bears traces
of the artist who has wrought it,
since there can be no we'll defined rule
governing the many details of the
stitches and the placing of the knots.
1t will be found to be the embroidery
best suited for a thousand uses

The dwelling house of NC. Maben
was struck by lightning during the
heavy storm Friday afternoon of
last week. The fluid entering the
side of the building knocked off a
strip of siding and engaged in some
very strange freaks of movements
about the kitchen where Mrs. Maben,
her two children and mother were
seated. Running along the border
of the wall paper cutting out small
bits in various places, knocked the
curtain pole from its bearing, passed
over framed picture melting the

a hole through the screen door made
a welcome exit. With the exception
of the baby no one else felt the shock
and Helen took it as funny joke.

Lightning
Strikes Church.
The Steeple Of the Episcopal
Church Twice Struck.
DAMAGE APPRAISED S1so.76.
Insurance Expired Twenty Hours Later.
Adjusters Fix Amount OF Damaae.

During the heavy electric storm
that passed over this section Friday
July 8, the Episcopal Church was
struck by lightning which badly
damaged the upper part of the steeple
and expended some of its forces about
the interior knocking off wainscoat-
ing and slivering moulding in few
places. A peculiar incident about
this misfortune was the fact that had
it occurred twenty hours later the
loss would have been severely felt
by this denomination as the insur-
ance expired on the following day at
noon.
ANOTHER VISITATION OF LIGHTNING.
AS the storm of this week seemed
to be abating lighting again struck
the steeple on the opposite side
where first stricking. The weather
boards on the front of the building
were slivered in several places, how
ever, the damage is not great COM
pared to the first stroke.
DAMAGES APPRAISED.
A. ID. Lundy of Williamsport, the
insurance adjuster, inspected the
damaged property on Monday and
took estimates from two local carpen-
ters as to the cost of repairing the
steeple. VIM. Rogers fixed the
amount at $500 which sum was satis-
factory to the trustees. r. A. Conk-
lin in making no close examination
estimated the cost of repair at 5000
which met Mr.. Lundy's apraoval.
A compromise of 1925 was refused
and the damage was again again ap-
praised on Wednesday by Charles
Landon of this place and All. Waltz
a practical carpenter of Williamsport.
These gentlemen were placed under
oath to go over the building and note
each item of expenditure for repair
in detail and place fair estimate of
the cost on same. The total amount
of these items made the sum of $164-
rs and $25 was added for safe allow
ance, making the appraisment 1s9. .76

EAGLES MERE.

There is cow in this town that
while she switches the shortest kind
of tail, yet has the longest kind of
tail of woe which she sings at night
commencing shortly after the Whip
poor Will concert is closed, and end
ing at any old time. There is law
here to keep cows shut up, but it
can't make this old cow keep her
mouth shut up after her kind master
ties her to a post and goes "away
off" to his comfortable bed. The p.
O. Club is at work trying to frame a
law that will make the press gag
law look like 80 cents, and her lady
ship had better prepare for the
worst. An influential member gets
no rest at night and so has to sleep
day times, which seriously interferes
with his usefulness as a day laborer.
We have jobs here in town over
which everyone connected with the
work can sleep except the man who
has to pay for the job. And yet
another member Of the Club who has
read in some sort of book about
Gabrial's Trumpet is in trouble too.
He falls asleep but when the tale of
woe starts he is sure that it is the
sound of the last trumpet, springs
out bed and starts for the hills,
when mother mournful sob from old
shorty, in different key brings him
to his senses. Being pious man he
says nothing but his prayers, but
he will vote for the gag law all right
enough. The President of the Club
who has made an examination says
that it is the way the owner of old
bossy votes which gives the poor old
COW so much pain she just has to
bawl.
Bogart has telephone sign, a bar
ber shop sign, $50 reward sign, a
steamboat sign, shirt manufactury
sign and a laundry sign posted on
the outside of his building, but there
is not any sign readidg "Beware of
