SUCCESSFUL ATLAsT,

The many friends of Arend Hasper,
who resides near Westiield, will be
pleased to learn Of the final success Of
his search for water. lMr. Hasper
who was an early settler, has one Of
the best farms in the county, txo or

towns, several miles away, being Wis.
ible from his place. But he had for
years been seriously annoyed By his
inability to obtain sufficient watat for
his good-sized bunch of. horses and
cattle, as his we'll did not furnish
nearly enough for their pse. Now, in

Impossible to get along without aqua

efforts, by digging and BY drilling, to
ebtain q supply. Only last summer
he had a well drilled to a depth Of
more than 600 feet. But his efforts
were OF no avail. Recently he began
to dig, two or three hundred yards
from his house, hole twelve feet
square. Alta depth OF twenty feet he
secured a hountiful supply Of water.
The neighbors say that, sleeping or
waking, smile has pcrched on
Arend's countenance ever since.e

THEY TARRlED BY THE wAYs1DH.

\ Mrs. w. L. Yeater came down from
Hazelton, Monday, by stage. return
;ing home next dag by the same con-
Eeyance. The lady has resided In EN-
lfions county a long time, but fate
seems to have it in for her when she
starts out Oh a trip for the valley of
the bounding Beaver. A couple Of
years ago, more or less, on her way to
Linton, in a thunderstorm, she lost
the trail in the hills a few miles north
Of town. 1t was midnight and as
black as all the spades In the deck
when she reached Petrie's stone house,
three miles east Of Linton. The See
ley family lived there then, and Bert
plotted. her to town. Well, last Mon
day as above related, she was coming
to Eint0n in Will Carmichaers rig.
.Shaand Will were conyerslng of the
many changes the county had experi-
enced In twenty years, when runner
broks sthr0uRh and the sled bucked,
aeposltiqE the lady on the port.side
Eof the lrigIwGy and the gent Oh the
,starboard side. The horses then took
French leave. The mishap occurred
near. the Larvick place, and the two
people who had been stranded went
there to await, the return Of the boy
on horseback that Billy sent after the
team. The animals, when they were
recaptured, were some ten miles dis
taat from the scene Of the lnishap.
It is satifaction to know that after
the Linton Hazelton flying-machine
line:is opened this spring there viii
be no more such accidents.
