IN A RUNAWAY

Sidney Boyer, one of the drivers em-
out of the wagon during a runaway
Monday afternoon and narrowly es-
capped injury.
He was driving along the u. L. &
W. track near the intersection of
Pine street. when the horse took fright
at the cars and giving spring caused
the single tree to snap in two. The
driver brscing his feet against the
dashboard. with all the strength he
could muster, held on to the lines, The
horse was gritty animal, AMI after
the broken single tree put the traces
out of commission. he pulled the wag
on with his teeth.
All went we'll until one of the lines
snapped iu two under the unusual
strain The horse then became abso-
iutely unmanageable. As last resort
the driver using the one line available
tried to pull the animal up against
the building at the corner of d. l.. &
W. avenue anu f-lHe stIeSt' Ab Nhe
same moment. however, the horse
sprang forward precipitating the man,
who still had hold of one line, head
foremost into the street.
The driver miraculouslv escaped in
jury Free at last the horse, dragging
the wagon after him, dashed up Pine
street to Center street, down Center
to Mill and out the latter street as far
as the Danville Milling company's
plant, where he was caught. The
shafts were found to be badly broken
than this no damage was done.

SHIPPING OF
XMAS PRESENTS

Here are few tips for present send
ing people that may aid in getting the
gifts TO their destinations without un-
necessary delay:
All shipments should be plainly
marked with brush, pen, ink or cray
on. Tags should not be used when
the above can be applied. Do not use
card marks OF scraps of paper tackled
on boxes. They are liable to be defac
ed or rubbed off in which case delay
in the delivery is certain, and perhaps
the loss of the package or box may re-
suit. If the package is of such ma
ture that ink cannot be applied, a tag
should be firmly attached to the ship
ment When old boxes or crates are
used, one should be sure to erase old
marks or addresses
Remember to mark the name of the
city or town and the street very plain
ly, also the street and number of con-
signees residence or place of business
when known; the county also should
be included in the address of ship
ments destined to small towns. If no
local address is given, inquire whether
the consignee is permanent resident,
and If not mark the package ito be
called for. ="
Also the sender should in every case
mark his own address on the package.
Presents destined for the New Eng
land States, the south and the middle
west should be given a full weeks
start to allow for heavy SHOWS or con-
gestiOn. The Pacific coast and the
Dominion of Canada should be allow
ed a ten-day or two weeks start.
1t is far better TO have your Christ
mas Offering at its destination few
days before than few days after Dec.
ember 25.

TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS

Red Gross Christmas Seals, which in
the past have aided nightly in the
fight against tuberculosis, have been
placed on sale at the First National
bank, this city, where they will be
convenient to all our townspeople
This wonderful weapon in lighting
tuberculosis has become familiar to us
all. In the center of the seal is a red
cross, in circle around which are in
scribed American Red Gross, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year :"
The cost is a cent and while the seals
do not take the place of a stamp, when
placed on letter or parcel along with
"A stamp they become decorations and
carry with them added cheer and hap
piness.
In 1908 enough of these little seals
were sold at one cent each to produce
$3.50, 600. every cent of which was spent
in the fight against tuberculosis. In
1909 the sale brought f240, 000 The aim
this year is to raise million dollars
through the sale of the Red Gross
Christmas seal, which will be mighty
weapon against tuberculosis.
During the last two years large
numbers of Red Gross Christmas seals
were sold in Danville. Undoubtedly
the sales this year will be much larg.
er than any time in the past.

COUNTY INSTITUTE

4 somewhat novel proposition is be-
ing advanced by the rural teachers of
Montour county, which briefly stated
is that the teachers institute, which
for so many years has met i'll Dan
willie, should hold its sessions in some
part of the county centrally located.
One of those agitating "a change is
Mr.. Mont Derr of White Hall who
following the adjournment of insti-
tute, expressed regret that an agita-
tion of the matter was not incorporat-
ed in the resolutions submitted to the
institute.
Mr.. Derr says the institute should
meet at Washingtonville instead of at
Danvilie, as that point is most centr-
ally located. The auditorium of one
of the churches there, which has a
greater seating capacity than the high
school room in Danville, is, he explain
ed, always available for educational
meetings The hotels, together with
private houses, that could be relied
upon to throw open their doors, would
afford ample accommodations. BY
meeting at WashingtonVille, Mr.. Derr
states practically all the teachers of
the county could drive backwards and
forwards between their homes and the
institute, whereas rs things are con.
ducted at present, he says, they find q
week S soioutn in Danville serious
drain on their resources. a change in
the holding of the institute is one of
the things that is to be agitated in the
future.
To what extent MI. DerI reflects
prevailing sentiment among the rural
teachers is not known. 1t is fore
gone conclusion, however, that the
proposition will hardly receive much
support from the Danville teachers.

THE Blue Mouse"

If your cousin, or aunt, or friend,
has been to New York you may learn
what 1.-The Blue Mouse" really is.
The New York papers called it sue
cess; old-timers and first-nighters de-
clared it "a scream without flaw.
1.-The Blue Mouse" will be seen here
at the Danville opera house Saturday
evening and is a wholesome laugh pro-
voker without causing the senastion
of uneasiness. Few plays have Great
ed the favorable attention that has
been bestowed upon this latest produc-
tion. The cast is unusually large for a
farce comedy, as 90 people are requir-
ed to tell the story.

The Blue Mouse"

Slangy sayings given with an almost
childish innocence make the character
of THE Blue Mouse" rs played by
Miss Wanda Ludlow i'll the play of the
same name. which comes to the Dan
willie opera house on Saturday evening,
one of the most interesting that the
stage has known. Clyde Fitch, the
author of THE Blue Mouse" has, it
is said, written farce that will be
played for years to come. Mr. L. j.
Carpenter has organized competent
cast of players to present the farce in
the large cities of the country. The
company is said TO he the largest ever
gathered together to give farce
comedy.
