had the best of attention and care
while in the hospital. He was fine
young man, of excellent moral char
acter and loved and respected by all
who knew him. His death is made
doubly sad to his relatives and friends

RURAL ROUTE NO. 2
Orders Have Been Issued By the De-
partment Establishing Second
Route.

Monday morning Postmaster John
nj. JarbOe received orders from the
Postoffice Department at Washington
establishing rural route No. which
will rnn from Oakland south to the
Lewis Bush farm over in Preston
county. West Va, passing the Gort-
ner, SunDyside and Hauser post
offices, thence east on the Northwes-
tern Pike to the Bowman farm,
through the Beckman settlement and
return to Oakland, a distance of
about twenty eight miles, the service
to be daily except Sunday.
The establishment of this route will
probably mean the disseminating of
the Sunnyside, Gortner and Hauser
postoflices. Patrons of these offices
will be served by the rural carrier.
The carrier has not yet been appoint
ed by the Department nor can he be
until after an examination has been
held and the appOintee fill the re-
Quired bond.

Fender.

Thought transferrence has become
an accepted fact, and Fender with the
assistance of Mile Reva gives one of
the most astounding illustrations of
this power eyer exhibited by two
people. Indeed one becomes positively
dumfounded at the severe tests the
performers submit to.
Pender's performance is not that of
the fake hypnotist and the ordinary
second sight reading which as all The
world knows is done by mere code
of language, Fender is absolutely
silent in his work, thus setting aside
all argument of code or sign work.
This act must be seen to be appre-
ciated. Reva is indeed a twentieth
century marvel and has baffied the
minds of the most learned men of the
day. The Fender Company will ap-
pear at Opera House May 3rd and 4th.

Letter to J. p. HeIbig
Oakland, Sid.

Dear Sir: Here's something every
painter and builder ought to know.
Mr.. j. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses, ) years ago. lead and-oil
took 40 gallons. Last year he painted
Devoe; bought 40 gallons; had 10 left.
He is one of thousands. The know
ledge is getting about pretty gener-
ally, that Devoe goes further than
anything else.
Have you found it out in your own
experience?
How much further?
Suppose a job amounts to 10000
square feet; how much less Devoe
could you buy?
Is it as easy to paint? Does it cost
any more or less to put,on by the gal
lon than anything else? how much?
If it costs more to put-on Devoe bv
the gallon, it costs less by the foot,
you know; for the gallon does more
feet. How much less, do you find it.
for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the
owners gain; but perhaps you reckon
it yours; some do. The time, when
that comes-in, is when he giyes-out
the next job.
Who gets it?
Yours truly

The Easter exercises at the NJ. L.
church at Mt. Lake Park Sunday
evening, April %, were rendered very
successfully indeed. DR.. j. w.
Laughlin, the efficient superinten-
dent, is to be congratulated in being
able to secure the services of Mrs.
Squires and those who assisted in
training the children. The whole
program moved off well, without a
break from beginning to end. The
children had their parts we'll in mind
and rendered them beautifully, not
one forgot or hesitated. There are
some who deserve special mention.
The duet by Misses Abbie and Edna
ChaLce was excellent and these young
ladies show good talent as vocalists.
Also the solo by Miss Louise Sperry
was highly appreciated as was the
one she rendered a Few weeks ago.
The solo by little Louise Chance was
one OF the very best We ever heard
from one so Young, only about five
or six years old. The recitation by
little Gladys Squares also was fine to
be from one so small The Easter
Missionary Offering amounted to
$11.1S.
The church was crowded and at
tention excellent. NJ.

FORGOT MARK TWAIN'S NAME
Predicament in Which the Late Henry
Irving Found Himself at
Banouet

Among the many people entertained
by Sir Henry Irving during his lessee
ship of the Lyceum was Mark Twain.
Irving gave him banquet in the green
room after a performance one night,
with a most distinguished company
pres ent. When Sir Henry arose to
propose the guests health, the latters
name escaped him completely, and the
result was something like this, but the
reader must imagine the high nasal
tones of the actor, his twitches and
Snorts:
Gentlemen: rise to perform
very agreeable duty-a most extra
ordinary and pleasurable honor (men-
tai aside: What is that name?). We
have with us tonight as our guest the
most distinguished of our compatriots

Cigars at Their Best

"Buy your cigars in quantities, put
them in a cedar box, lay the box away
in your cellar and at the end of three
or four years they are just right for
smoking" said T. l.. Marston.
"a cigar, if properly kept, improves
with age, and at the end of four years
storage reaches the maximum of excel
lence. There are some curious things,
however, about even the costliest kind
that every connoisseur recognizes. In
certain localities the best brand of
Havanas acquire a bitter taste after
being laid away for a few days I
don't know whether 1t is atmospheric
influence or what the cause may be,
but certain it is that some climates
are ruinous to their flavor.
ANY smoker of the finest goods will
also tell you that it is necessary at
times to change from the imported to
the domestic cigar, If only for brief
season. I tire Of cigars costing forty
cents each wholesale, and cannot again
take pleasure in them until 1 have in
dulged for a period in some genuine
Connecticuts." ."-Washington Post.

Dancing

Teachers of dancing-beg pardon
professors of dancing, take their call
ing so seriously and talk when in ses-
sion, as thew now are, so persuasively
of its Importance to the human race
that even those who have put away all
thoughts of dancing are led to take an
interest in the newest thing in steps.
And this present convention of pro-
fessors of dancing it seems has some
thing very like real problem with
which to struggle.
1t is found, from statistics gathered
principally from summer resorts, that
the two-step is so popular the graceful
waltz is becoming a wall-fiower, and
this from the standpoint of a professor
who is something of an artist, and like
wise bit of poet, is all very wrong,
since it is the waltz that aids the es-
thetic development of the body. And
the duty of the dance promoters is evil
dent-the two-step must go and waltz
so enchanting in its movement as to
boom the reform must come. So a
"credo" waltz, so called because its
originator devoutly and fervently be-
lieves it is the waltz needed, is to be
introduced throughout the country. But
professors may only propose-the
dancers do the rest-Boston Transcript

Pearls "DIe" When Not Worn

That pearls "die" in obscurity and
retain their luster and value when
worn frequently, is a fact that has
always to be borne in mind by the
owners of jewels.
The statement that a historical
pearl necklace in the Louvre originally
worth 100000 is rapidly depreciating
did not in the least surprise the man
ager of Well-known firm of jewelers..
Pearls" he said, must be worn fire.
quently to preserve them. If you take
pearl necklace and lock it up you
will find that in the course of years
the pearls become dull and lose the
sheen that makes them so valuable.
treasured will sometimes be found to
have deteriorated i'm this way. They
lose their glow, and in some instances
become almost black. Pearl necklaces
never keep SO well as when they are
constantly on the necks of their own
ers.
1T has been suggested that personal
influences have something to do with
the matter, but think it is more likely
that the effect is due to light and air.
You can wear pearls practically as long
as you like, certainly for fifty years,
and they would give no indication of
change and you might lock pearls up
and perhaps in twenty years they
would show signs of dying There
are, however, ways of resuscitating
pearls, but the fact that they die is
quite clear."-London Mail.
