evolved the idea. 1t was in 1903 that
after framing the machine of parallel

They had a machine then that was
merely a glider. 1t was picked up at
either extremity by two men who ran
with it for a distance until finally 1t
caught the air and started on on its
gliding. 1t was about this time that
reports came east that there we're

aeroplanes. They believed that the

1t has interested thousands of per-

that the birds occasionally tapped
their wings In the midst Of soaring
because they had to mount another
or different air current.

In Texas and Louisiana a greater

ated by large numbering companies
or corporations who are bleeding
their trees for turpentine and rosin
previous to converting them into
lumber. These companies have care

that the new methods are more gen.

that the increase in yield of both

Dear Sir: Experience teaches some
people sometimes it teaches a few some
things; its a mighty slow school though,
that same experience.
Lots of people paint lead. and-oil, paint
once in three years, and think themselve s
wise; they are wasting half their money
and fuss. They're so sure they are wise,
they die as they live, paint-foolish. Ex-
p%eri"nce teaches them nothing.
There's another set, who buy paint by
the gallon, and go by the price of a gal
lon. They think one price is high, and
another is low; and they pay about mid
ding; why don't they pay low They
know that milk isn't dear or cheap by
the price of a quart; that the milk has
something to do with it. They don't
buy cheap milk but they buy cheap
paint and pay double. Experience teach
es them nothing.
There's another set. They painted
years ago ~lead-and.oil; exhausted that.
Then tried something else; it was better
or worse. Then Devoe: it cost about half
and wore twice az long. That's how ex-
perlence teaches some of US.

George Rupert
Accidentally Shot
Compauion Didn't Know The
Revolver Was Loaded And
Pulled the Trigger.

George Rupert, assistant In Bohren's
Bakrey, was accidentally shot in the
abdomen Monday evening about 7.2O
o'clock and for time serious doubts
we're entertained of his recovery.
Rupert and four companions, Frank
Wray, Francis Bracken, Ray Deemer
and Harrison DeMay, were shooting
at a mark near No. l bridge on the
Pennsylvania railroad Monday evening,
using a 32-calibre revolver. After the
bullets were all supposed to have been
shot, Wray took the revolver and be-
gan toying with it without noticing
where it was aimed. The trigger was
pressed and bullet which remained
in the revolver hit Rupert in the
abdomen, just below the ribs on the
left side. A great hole was torn by the
bullet and Rupert was In intense pain,
but with the aid Of his friends hurried
to the Office of DR.. I. F.. Nolanon Fourth
street. Other physicians were sum-
moned and FOR several hours proDed for
the ball, without success. They did
not locate it and it is questioned
whether the bullet really entered the
abdomen. While there is great hole
there, it is possible that the ball simply
cut into the flesh deeply and passed out
again. Rupert was removed to the
Bohren residence and is now resting
easy. His mother, Mrs. Benjamin
Taylor, Of Turtle Point, Pa, was on
her way to Reynoldsvllle before the
accident occurred and reached here
shortly after her son was shot, and
is now nursing him.
There is no question but that the
shot was purely accidental, all the boys
being constant companions and friends.

Pennsylvania To
Spend Millions
Improving Itsl0 Trackage In
Western Pennsylvania.

Improvements to cost approximately
81, 900, 100000 are to be made by the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Greensburg,
Pa, and bids on the work will be asked
tomorrow. Two additional tracks will
be built through Greensburg. a new
station will be constructed, tunnel
will be removed, and the grade of one
per cect will be cut down one-half.
The Pennsylvania has practically
completed it's four track line from Pitts
burgh to New York, but at several
places there are short stretches OF two
and three track road. 1t Is these gaps
which are being rapidly removed by
the construction of additional tracks.
The Pittsburgh Division-the line be-
tween Pittsburgh and Altoona-now
has one-mile stretch of two track line
through Greensburg, half mile
through Radebaugh, where there is a
tunnel, and two miles Of three track
line through Sang Hollow. With the
completion OF the Greensburg improve
ments, only two and one-half miles Of
the two and three-track road will re-
main on the Pittsburgh Division Of the
main line.
Heavy westbound passenger trains
have for years experienced difficulty in
starting from Greensburg station, ow-
ing to the steep grade at that point. 1t
was for this reason, as we'll as to facili-
tate the movement Of freight trains,
that it was determined to cut down the
grade at the same time the other i'm
.provements are made.
