Capt. Albertis lecture on Siberia,
given at Royal hall Wednesday evening
under the auspices of the Fulton lodge
F. & A. NJ, proved an interesting &C.
count Of the speakers personal exper-
fences both as military commander in
the army of the Gear and later as pris-
oner transported in chains to Siberia.
The speaker attributes his escape from
prison life to the fact of his being
Mason and through the influence Of
members of the order in official positions
he was permitted to again reach Ameri-
can soil The lecture was illustrated
with views of Russia, many of which
were painted by Capt. Alberti who is an
artist The inner view of Russian gov
eminent and customs is presented in
most entertaining manner.

John Mooney has new horse that
can 90 some. John hitched her up the
other day and she demonstrated her
speed both to the satisfaction and dis
satisfaction of her owner. 1t happened
this way. The horse had been standing
in the barn for number of days and
she had begun to feel her oats. When
she was hitched up she wanted to go
faster than John wanted her to 60 so
she took into her head to relieve herself
of her driver. This she did by running
ioto tree and the buggy hit it with
such force that John was landed in the
road He got up unhurt but by this
time the horse was on its way to Clar-
ence John telephoned but the horse
was faster than the telephone and at
each place he called up he got the re-
spouse, "she has just gone past" Any
way he started after her and saw her
coming up the county line road after
completing the circuit by way of Clar-
ence. He drove down the road and met
her, hollered whoa" and the animal
stopped, waited for him to get into the
buggy and took him home like any gen
tie animal which had been getting too
much good feed. There wasn't scratch
on the buggy nor strap broken on the
harness, and John wouldn't take good
deal for his horse. Brodhead Indepen-
