DIR. Bovard was summoned on Tuesday
and after rendering first aid took the
man to the Warren Emergency hospital
where he was assisted by DIR. Robertson
in an operation which relieved the patient
of considerable clotted blood in the alb
dominal cavity, and rendered his con-

improving at last accounts and is ex-
pected to completely recover.
Alphabet Scamper will prove a new
and happy way of picking up play-room
and sharpening wits at the same time.
At signal from mother, the children run
to find and put in their proper places all
the A's-snimals, arks and acrobats; the
B's-balls, bats boxes and bisque dolls
that are scattered about, and so on
through all the letters of the alphabet. A
simple prize-a chocolate drop, a cooky
or big hug from mother, rewards the
child who finds and puts away the most
objects, and in five minutes the room will
be cleared ready for some more rainy day
fun. A simple device, but il will bridge
safely the stormy waves of a shut in day.
Bedtime will come before the children
know it, and there will be no sorry, mis-
understood little boy, unhappy and ban
ished to lonely corDer.-The Ladies'

-Hezakiah Culp, of Pinegrove town.
ship, Vensngo county, has home made
sword cane which he has good reason to
believe was made more than 100 years
ago by his father Mr.. Culp is past "A
years and his father told him that it had
been made great many years before the
birth of Hezakish. The cane proper is
maGe of curly maple fully an inch in
diameter and octagon in shape laid off in
feet, inches and half inches. The furrule
is hand forged as is also the sword which
is a four r-cornered piece Of finely tenn
pered steel about a foot in length and
tapering down TO almost needle point.
The top is round knob which serves as
handle while the cane serves as scab-
bard. The idea of this old fashioned
weapon is that in case the cane, used as a
club against highwayman or Other
asssilant, should be wrested from the
owners hand he would still have the
dagger in his hand and it looks capable o.
killing almost anything living less in
size than full-grown elephant.
