SCHoOLMATES OF LONG AGO
Hold a Reunion near the Dennison School
House in Beechwoods.

The reunion OF the former teachers
and bupils OF the Dennison school in the
Beechwoods Wednesday, August Goth,
proved a most delightful occasion. The
day was all that could be desired and
many hundred pupils, teachers and
friends gathered in ]. A. Ross grove.
The Brockwayville brass band was
there, and two male ~quartettes also
rendered a number of selections on the
program. The speakers present by ar
rangement were: Rev. G. Fl. Hill, W.
C. Smith, Rev. r. Fl. Howe, DR.. w. j..
Mcknight, W. B. Ross and John Mo
Murray and they gave a very interest
ing account OF the early history OF the
schoo.. But by far the most enjoyable
part of the reunion was the reminiscent
spirit that prompted every old pupil to
add to the happiness of the day by a
tale of personal experience.
The Dennison school has been in ex-
~is.ence since the year 1886, when the
first building. a small log structure, was
erected by the pioneers Of that region,
In the 4O's another round log building,
was built and in 1850 the third school
house, a frame structure, was erected.
This was used until recent years, but
now the school has been removed to a
building near the Morrison homestead.

son school includes men and women

1t was a Good Opportunity.

Prof. G. ]. Scott, principal of our
public schools, was offered the prin-
cipalship of the Uniontown grammar
school for one term at a good salary,
with good assurance that next year he
would be elected superintendent of the
schools OF that city at a salary Of 81 800
per year, but on account of promising
to accept the principalship Of the Reyn-
oldsville schools for another year, and
the school board of this place refused to
release him, Prof. Scott lost an oppor-
tunity for rapid promotion, perhaps the
opportunity Of a life time, and declined
the proposition from Uniontown that
he might keep his word with our school
board. We understand the Uniontown
proposition came before Prof. Scott had
signed the agreement with the Reyn-
oldsville school board, but he had prom
ised to accept this position and hs con-
sidered his promise as binding as his
signature. In a sense no man deserves
credit for being honorable, as it is moth
ing more than right that q man should
hold sacred his word and honor, yet
amidst the selfshness, greed and dis
h~onorableness that stalks abroad In this
day and generation, a mar deserves
credit and praise for making a big sac
rifice that he may keep a promise made
to his fellow men.

SWINGING ROCK FIRMLY FIXED.
South American Natural Wonder De.
fled Dictator Of Aruentine.

One of the stlangest of natural
wonders of South America, is the
swinging rock of Tandil (La piedra
hovediza), says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The stone lies about half an
hours walk from the city Of Tandil,
province of Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, upon the highest summit Of
a little rocky ridge. When seen from
the ravine it has the form of q giant
pyramid, while from another view 1t
resembles an enormous cone. Y Is
twenty-one feet long and twenty-eight
feet high, and its weight is Judged to
be about 1880 hundredweight, or
about 627 tons. From the distance the
stone presents a peculiar aspect. It is
so highly poised on the rocky slope
that 1t seems as if we were watching
stone roll down the hill and resting
for a second upon a very small base.
But when we approach this swinging
rock we are astonshed by a new
wonder. We can set the stone in mo-
hand. Very often the traveller is
spared even the trouble of pushing
the stone, as the wind will cause it
to swing.
Early in the nineteenth century the
Argentine Republic was ruled by the
dictator Rosa with unparalleled cruel
ty for about twenty-five years. To
show his supreme power the tyrant
ordered that the stone be encircled
with ropes and many horses to be
harnessed to these ropes-but the
stone could not be moved one inch
from its resting place.

earn almost enough to warrant them
