Leg Broken at Recess.

Harold Pentz, the 15-year old son o.
e. ID. Pentz, East Mahoning street
while playing at recess last Friday
morning, fell and sustained fracture
of the smaller bone of the right leg.
The young man did not realize the ex.
tent of his injuries and walked back
to the school house and completed the
morning session.
Young Pentz and some other boys
were playfully running after each 9th
er at the corner of Mill and Mahoning
streets during the recess period yester.
day morning when Pentz fell striking
his ankle against the stone curb. The
pain at the time was rather severe, but
he returned to school, and, although
he suffered more as the time passed
by, he braved out the situation until
noon, when, upon going home, it was
by his parents that the
ankle was broken,
DR.. Patten was summoned and re-
duced the fracture. 1t will be some
six or eight weeks before the young
man will again be able to- use the
limb

UNCERTAIN CRITTERS.

Dogs are mighty uncertain critters.
Out at Scottdalc the other day
young member of au engineering
corps from Washington was amusing
himself with perfectly harmless dog,
when the animal, although apparent
ly in the best of humor. suddenly took
him by the nose and bit piece of the
end off. A surgeon was summoned and
did the best he could, but the chances
are that the unfortunate engineer will
always have peculiar looking nose.

WORDS OF TRUST.

The Scranton Republican speaks
words of truth and soberness when it
declares that "the young man who
stands awaiting for something to turn
up for him to do makes great mis-
take. II he hasn't any work just let
him spend his spare time fitting him.
self to fill some responsible position in
the industrial or business world and
in little while the Jobs will come
looking for him." There is nothing
more certain than that the young man
who is fitted fol responsible place
and who has correct habits will not
long be idle.

THOUSANDS VISIT
new CAPITOL

The second capitol excursion poured
thousands and thousands of people in
to Harrisburg Oh Saturday and from
early in the morning until we'll into
the afternoon the magnificent building
was like bee hive, with people swarm
ing into every department of it, ad-
miring its beauties and taking advant-
age of the opportunities to sit in the
chairs of the State officials and to peer
about in the sacred places where usu-
ally ordinary people do not get.
The crowds began to arrive in Har-
| risburg about 10 O'Clock and from then
on until noon they kept coming by the
train load. 1t was estimated from the
figures given out by the railroad and
trolley companies that there were
about 5000 sightseers in the capitol on
Saturday. From South Danville l24
tickets were sold.
Everybody wanted to see the COVER
nor's reception room and the other
show places of the building, and
especial care was taken by the police
men and other State employees to show
the visitors to these places. Every
door leading into the departments
was open, and the visitors were allow
ed to come and go at will
Governor Pennypacker spent the en-
tire day in his Office shaking hands
with the visitors. The capitol was
lighted from basement to dome, and
every courtesy was shown the visitors
by the people at the capitol. The gov
ernor was the only State official in
Harrisburg, and his pleasant smile as
he shook each visitors hand gave the
| impression that he was glad so many
had come to inspect the building.

Harrisburg were;

Old Joe, a farmer, was noted for the
many ways he had Of skimping and
saving. One day he hired big country
boy to help him with his work. The
boy reported for duty at 80 o'clock in
the morning, and Old Joe sat him down
to breakfast. After the lad had finished
the meal the sharp old farmer said,
what do you say II we eat dinner
while we are at IT," As the boy agreed,
they fell to and ate little more. Then,
seeing that the youngster could eat no
more, Old Joe suggested, Suppose we
finish up and eat supper too" "All
right" assented the lad, and he man
aged to swallow another crust of bread.
Now let's get to work." shouted the
gleeful farmer, thinking of the saving
in meals he had made. NO" returned
the boy, Il never work after supper.

E. simple WAY of roughly determin-

the advantage of not requiring any

First determine on two points the lev

take Il board with straight edge and
tack it to tree, If one happens to be

stakes. Put the board at such a height

carefully level this board by means of
the spirit level. Then sight it over to-

of Il anll picte of paper, locate the
point 1T which your line of vision cuts

mark 1T this point and then sight to
the other stake in the same way and
mark the point where the line would
strike it. by measuring distances that
these two points are above the ground
you can get the difference in levels
with reasonable accuracy. For in

1t will probably be news to most
people to hear that rudimentnry traces
of third eye exist among all ve.;e-
brates, including man. In the human
race the third eye forms part OF the

size of pea in almost the very center
of the brain. Possibly, therefore.

DECAPlTATION.


The Theory of Sensation After the
Head Is Severed.
Half dozen physicians were talking
Of death. 1t isn't a subject usually
chosen by physicians for discussion, but
these We're discussing it. However, 1t
was not altogether physical death.
They were including the hereafter.
Well" said one, Il don't know
whether there is TO be a hereafter or
not, ana it doesn't trouble me very
much, because I'll take chances on 1t IL
can make the life live before it the
Kind of life man ought to live. But
there is one thing about 1t that makes
me hope there will be another life, and
that is the opportunity | shall have Of
asking some of the people who have
had their heaIS cut rf II there was any
sensation for few minutes succeeding
decapitation. ! believe now that there
Is, and that life remains long enough
for the decaptdted person to realize
that he has lost his head, or, rather,
that he has lost his body. because tho
head is tie center of thought, and, OF
courS', it is the body that is lost, not
,he head. IT least l,:at Is the way
man with his head tff would lie bound
to u.,Ek of it. l fancy tLCPe Is no pain,
Lecau$c thGt would require some time
and if life exists at all af.ar decapita-
ton it would not bc Ions enough to
realize Tie SCnsatiCE of pain. 1t must
be a very queer sort OF feeling, and, as

LlON-FACED CALF
IS ON exhibition

A freak of nature in the shape OF a
lion-faced calf is on exhibition in a
tent on Main street, near Sixth, and is
attracting a great deal Of attention in
Canon City. as 1t has elsewhere
throughout the country.
The lion-faced calf Is a native OF
Colorado. 1t was born on a ranch near
Silver Clin in the Wet Mountain cattle
country. After staying with 1t for two
days the mother became frightened
and deserted the young animal. 1t
would have starved to death had not
men on the ranch taken care Of 1t.
The head of the freak animal is al
most identical with that of half
grown mountain lion. short ears
widely set eyes and tapering nose ant
mouth. Its body is long and sinewy
the hair a pale brown, while the legi
are short and stocky. The feet, how
ever, are of soft hoof formation and
cloven.

The company has just completed a
handsome building of its own below
the D. & r. G.. railway station. 1t is
built of cement blocks and gives good
idea of what can be done with this

Record reporter, "but the time is com
ing soon when it will be the principal
material used for the foundations and
