sired.

From Frankln Repository.
The franklin County MotorClub
has taken up the question of plac-
ing onr turnpikes in better shape
for automobiling. They have adj
dressed letters to all the turnpike
companies and have received many
favorable replies, promising CO.
operation.
The club asks that the water
breakers be removed as much as
possible. that smaller stones be
used in construction and that the
roads be placed in better condition
generally. Chambersburg lost the
GlIdden tour this year on account
OF the bad condition of the turn
pixies centering here, and many
people who have traversed them
were so disgusted they declared
they would never make a second
trip. The club of this place real
ICES that these conditions should
not exist as all autos pay the toll
demanded they think they should
have better service, which, OF
course, is the truth.
The turnpike companies have
promised to make the change re-
quested, as far as practicable, Sc
that the public generally will be
indebted to our local club for these
improvements.

The Girl Who is Gentle.

By the gentle girl is not meant
the girl who is gentle in heart
and thought, though she should
strive to be both, but the glrl
who is gentle in her movements
and in her speech.
She does not knock against
chairs as she enters the room,
she does not plant down each
foot as if she were trying to
stamp the pattern out of the car
pet.
When she talks and becomes
interested in her subject she
does not allow her voice to be.
come shrill tone that is ear
piercing.
OF course, none of these things
are wicked, but they show a lack
of consideration, and suggest
that there is strain in one that
does not belong to the refined and
lovable temperament,
The glll who is gentle learns To
walk quietly, to keep her eyes
open so that she does not trip
over rugs, cushions, chairs or ia
bles.
The girl who is gentle realizes
that a sweet, low voice and a
quiet manner are more convnc-
ing Of the power of womanhood
than all the loud talking and
clustering imaginable.

mobiles I'm il.

The latest plans provide that the
Glidden Auto Tour will pass thro'
McConnellsburg, Monday, July
%, and a large number of outside
people will probably come here to
witness the running of the cara
through town.
1t is said that 100 cars will bel
the run, many of them the best
products of the most celebrated
makers in the world.
The tour will start at Cleveland,
Ohio, July, 10, go westto Chicago,
ILL.,, thence back to South Bend
and eastward to Pittsburg, thence
to Bedford Springs, where Sunday
July 81, will be spent. For the
days run through McConnells-
burg a course of 140 miles. lead
ing from Bedford to Baltimore, via.
Hagerstown, has been laid out.
Nothing but touring cars will
take part in the contest, each one
carrying four people, and as the
contesting cars will be the finest
and most expensive built their
passage through this county will
be watched with interest.
A "pilot car" went through this
place few days ago, covering the
route and making arrangements
for the payment of toll so that the
contesting cars need not stop at the
numerous tollgates.

Two-Cent Rate Attacked.

The Huntingdon q Broad Top
railroad has filed bill In equity
in the Court of Common Pleas
against Huntingdon county to
test the constitutionality of the
two.cent fare law passed by the

The company contends that as
their charter was granted before
this law was passed, the state has
no right to break the contract
which was made with them in
the original charter, and that the
latter Is lrrevocable. They also
claim that the new law is in VIOLA

HORSE FRIGHTENED.
Automobile Party Responsible for Wreck
Of a buggy on the Ridge West Of
Town Last Friday.

Jonathan Gllnett, a resident of
Brush Greek Valley, who pur-
chased the old Barton homestead
from the late superintendent
Charles e. Barton, was on his
way TO McConnellsburg last Fri.
day. Descending the Ridge on
the turnpike west of town, he no
ticed an automobile party ap-
preaching. His horse began to
shy, and he got out of the buggy,
took hold of the horse, and signal
led the driver of the automobile
to stop. The signal, however,
was not needed, and the machine
came driving along at full speed,
causing the horse to plunge to
one side breaking the shafts off,
upsettlng the buggy, and wreck
ing the vehicle generally; and, to
add TO the insult, the party sped
on ther way with the same ind1f-
ference as though nothing had
happened.
Mr.. Gilnett came on to town
aud telegraphed Thos. f. Sloan
at the Mountain house, to be on
the lookout for the party, but as
Tommy was not armed with au-
thority of law for their apprehen.
sion, and did not have his shotgun
loaded at the time, they escaped
safe over Rays Hill. Mr.. Sloan
would have taken the number On
the machine, but the party had
taken the precaution to reverse
the tag. Mr.. Gilnett also teie-
graplied the Chief of Police at
Everett, but the party did not
ssncw up IN that town.
Nnlle as rule, auJOmOOlle peo-
pie are most considerate of the
rights of travellers on the high
way, and will do all in their power
to avoid frightening horses, it
happens cnce in awhile that ma
chine is run by a party that has
no concern for the safety of 9TH
ers. The fact that the party who
caused Mr.. Gilnett's trouble, ran
through the toll gates-both at
the east end of town and the west,
without stopping to pay toll,
shows strong probability that,
at least, the machine was drunk.

BEWARE OF LOCK JAW"
All Wounds from 4th Of July Explosives
Should be Promptly Treated.

"Beware of tetanus from
Fourth of Julyexplosive wounds, F"
is the warning that Health Com
missioner Dixon again sends out
to mothers throughout the State.
"Treat every such wound serious
ly no matter how slight 1t is, for
prompt treatment may save your
child from death by lockjaw."
The number of tetanus cases In
Pennsylvania has been greatly
reduced during the last two years
largely owing to the prompt
treatment of wounds from ex-
plosives. There were twenty
four such cases, following Fourth
of July last year and DR.. Dixon
says this number will be still
further reduced If the oft re-
peated warning as to the serious
ness of such wounds Is needed.
DR.. Dixon says he is obliged to
take it tJr granted that children
will not leave these dangerous
toys alone altogether, and so all
that can be done is to urge care.

Testing Counterfeit Bills.

The United States Government
prints Its currency and numbers
it's bills IN a series of four. so
that every piece of paper money
turned out bears one of the check
letters, A, b, G, d. One of these
letters is always found in two
places on a United States bill, in
the upper left hand corner and IN
the lower right hand corner. The
placing of the letter on the bill is
determined by the number OF the
DILL. The rule Is to divide the last
two figures on the note by four.
Should the remainder be one,
the check letter must be A;
should it be two, the check letter
is B; three, check letter is @; and
nothing, is the letter D.
For example, have before me
five dollar silver certificate.
It's number is 81489730. The
terminal number is 80. Divide
by four, the result is sCven with
two over. The check letter is B.
Here is a ten dollar Buffalo
note; The terminal number is "a.
Divide by four, and we have SIX
even. Then the check letter is
D.
There is yellow back gold
certificate with 20 as its terminal
number. DIVIDE this by four,
and we have five, with three over,
@ is the check letter.
Should tnis rule of four fail to
work on any United States cur.
rency note, you may bet all you
have the money is bad. Some
counterielted bills are right tc
their check letters, but a great
many are not so If the rule o.
four works. The bull may be still
bad but il it doesn't it ls surely
bad. This rule applies only tt
United States currency and no
to national bank notes.
1t doesn't take a minute to fig
ure olt this rule of A, and If a
times you should come across ,
bill that doesn't look exactly right
take out your pencil and divid,
the terminal number by four
then you can figure out your A
B. G. and D.

1907 A Year of Disaster.

Although the first half of 1907
has not passed, statistics compll-
ed by the Chicago Tribune show
that the record of casualties al
ready exceeds the total of 1906
There have been 3S railroad ac.
cidents of more than ordinary
magnitude, In which 273 persons
have been killed and 925 injured.
Twenty three steamers have been
wrecked, invoiving the loss of 9O2
lives.
There has been 13 nine acci
dents, in which 355 persons have
perished.
These casualties have been due
to human negligence or ignorance
i'll large part, but nature has been
destructive also. Tidal waves
have swept away 2230, earth
quakes 800, hurricanes 500, but
cyclones thus far have been mer'
ciful, the deaths numbering sc
far only 70, exclusive of the loss
of life at atKurrachi, India.
When to these totals Is added
the sum of smaller casualties
there can be little doubt that 1907
will be known in history as the
year OF disaster.
