CHILD STRAYS AWAY.
Whole Neighborhood Near Three Springs
Thoroughly Aroused Last Sat
urday Afternoon.
TODDLED THRU FIELDS AND WOODS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Blame Ander son,
the latter of whom Is daughter
of j. S. Mort, live on a farm
about two miles south of Three
Springs. They have bright lit.
tie daughter, Margaret, two and.
a half years old. After dinner
last Saturday, Mrs Anderson
was busy with her work putting
away the dishes and doinv other
work about the kitchen, while the
child was allowed to play around.
About | O'Clock, Mrs. Anderson
realized that Margaret was not
just there, and called.
No answer.
Then The mother became un-
easy, and set about IN earnest,
calling and searching for the
child. After thoroughly looking
in every nook and corner of the
premises and not finding the
child, the now almost frantic
mother ran to Mr.. Hinlsh'S nearly
a mile away, and informed them
of her dire trouble.
The word, "Llttle Margaret
Anderson is lost" was quickly
flashed around through the neigh
borhOod, and in an incredibly
short time more than forty sym.
pathizlng friends had assem- bled
at the Anderson home. After
a hasty consultation, they set
about the search in a methodical
way-each searcher radlating
from the house IN a different dI.
rection. All afternoon the anx-
ious search was kept up, the mum
ber beng constantly increased as
more people heard the news. Ev-
ening came at length, and the
thickening shadows of night be.
gan to increase the difficulty of
continuing the cearch.
About eight clock, one OF Lark
Lanes daughters heard a faint
cry, and going in the direction of
the sound, she was led to fence
near the public road leading from
Brownsville to Three Springs.
Here she found little Margaret,
who had toddled through fields
and woo6s a distance of more
than a mile from home, trying to
get through the fence.
Little Margare's father had
gone to Three Springs in the
earlier part of the day, and it Is
believed that he was followed by
a pup that little Margaret was
very fond of, and that when the
pup started, Margaret followed
the pup.

NARROWLY ESCAPED
INSTANT DEATH
Francis Relhart Caught by a
Revolving Shaft at Shin
gle Mil Last Week.

Last Saturday Francis Relhart
was helping his brother Bert saw
shingles at the mill at Maddens-
vile. While the mill was running
at full speed belt slipped off q
pulley. Francis reached across
a rapidly revolving shaft to re-
place the pulley, and quick as a
flash, his clothing was caught by
a setscrew in the shaft, and Fran.
CHS was picked up bodily and
thrown violently clear across the
mill. He was unconscious for a
time, but at length rallied. 1t is
believed that he escaped without
any broken bones or serious in
ternal injury. The shaft strip
ped every stitch of clothing from
his body with the exception of
his shoes and stockings. Had he
been thrown IN the direction of
the saw, this story would be
longer.

Base Ball.

The Pleasant Ridge baseball
team played the Andover Stars
on the formers grounds last Sat
urday, defeating the latter to the
tune of 1876.
The game was lively from start
TO finish. In the first inning
Andover scored TWO runs, and
the Ridge boys none. From the
second, on, the Ridge got down
to S Did work end things took on
different look. They played
seven innings IN a short while.
The Andover team deserves
credit for the way they handled
themselves and the conduct of
the team is above reproach. Rev.
McGarvey was the only unfor-
tunate one on the Ardover team,
he having an accident of a very
trlfling nature. Come again,

DOTT.

One day last week, while Mrs.
Mary Winter was scrubbing the
porch, she heard a fearful crash
in the house, and hurrylng in to
see what was the matter, she saw
Lemuel Bernhard lying on the
floor at the foot of the stairway
alive. Ofcourse, there is nothing
upon the pages of the statute
books of Pennsylvania to keep
anyone from lying on the floor,
if he prefers that to a bed, a
lounge, or a couch; but when she
saw that Lem was wet all over,
had kind of broken-up appear
ance, and wore an EN- mbarassed
expression on his face, Mrs. VIM
ters was justified in being some
what alarmed. Without gong in
to unnecessary details, it will be
sufficient to say that Lem was
helping Mrs. Winters clean house
and while she was out scrubbing
the porch he was up stairs clean
ing The windows. Needing some
clean water to add the finishing
luster to the window panes, he
started to go down stairs, and
having a new pair of shoes on that
had not lost quite all the lustre
from the soles, he slipped at the
top of the stairway, and there
was nothing else to do but take
an old-fashloned tumble down
the stairway and land cut in the
middle of the room. When Mrs.
Winters found that there were no
bones broken, and Lem gathered
himself together and shook the
water off, they both took a good
laugh over the racket that had
brought her into the house so
quickly.

Bible Presented.

On Sunday morning. April 18th
Associate Judge John Wesley
Hoop presented a handsome pull
PIT bible to Sloan M. E. church.
Owing to the Judges modest and
bashful disposition the duty of
making the presentation speech
fell upon the pastor, who in few
well chosen words made known
the generosity of Bro. Hoop. The
bible Is handsomely bound, and
the members and friends of ST.
loan are justly proud-not only
of the beautiful and useful gift
but also in having as one of their
number, such q noble ald gener.
ous.hearted brother. This is not
the first time Brother Hoop has
befriended Sloan; for his many
friends and admirers recall with
pleasure the many tunes he has
come to the assistance of the
church he has learned to love,
not only materially, but by pre-.
cept and example, he has been
the means of assisting greatly the
advancement of Gods kingdom
in this little world. All joined in
a hearty vote of thanks to Bro.
Hoop, and wished him Joy and
prosperity here and the Masters
"well done" In heaven. MEG.

DEAR EDITOR News -

DEAR EDITOR News -
| do not doubt my
right to affirm that no su ubscriber
to your most valuable paper re
celves 1t with greater welcome,
or reads it with more unfelgne d
gladness than do I, myself. The
NEWS is clean and neat IN ap.
pearance, is weekly filled with
happenings IN all parts of the
county, and is remarkably free
from errors of grammar, etc. a
quality that greatly delights me
for, as many of your readers
know, l am somewhat of a stick
Ter for the correct use of our
mother tongue. In this regard 1
am right, no matter what any
other person may think or say to
the contrary. Therefore, when
| read, IN your last weeks issue
April 18th the account of the
Surprise Party" given on the
first page, all went merry as a
marriage bell" until / reached
the signature, "One Who We're
There. At this point | received
nerve.racklng sensation, which
immensely disturbed my com.
posure. Said l to myself, "Who
could have done lt?" Surely not
the Editor himself, for he is a
grammarian, and would not be
guilty of any such abuse of Eng.
hsh. Think Of it. .-"One Who
We're There" doesn't that jar
you? Would any school. boy or
girl be likely to use that form
of speech? Standing out, as it
does, IN all Its Capitalized Con.
splcuousness, does it not appear
as challenge, defiance, a most
hearty contempt of the principles
and rules of grammar? l do not
ascribe the paternity of the sub.
lime (?) expression to you, Mr..
Editor; for, doubtless, you did
not see the article before or after
it was put in type, you being out
airing in your automobile, per-
haps; or, it may be gathe cing
"greens" down IN the meadows.
Somebody blundered, and my
article merely calls attention to

thinking that "Gramm mar is no

none but correct forms of speech
