Another Flood Horror

Austin, Pa, was swept away Satur-
day night by bursting dam. The loss
of life is still uncertain, but the
estimates now lie between $50 and 300.
A warning last spring, when the
water poured over the dam, sent the
people scrambling to the hills, but
their fears Of a flood did not materia-
lie.
When the dam gave way Saturday
night warning was sent to the tele-
phone operators and they called up
homes and factory, which was to
blow the flood signal. 1t was misun-
.lerstood, and the whistle for fire
brought out the fire department.
Reports from Costello and points
farther down Sinnemahoning reported
to have been submerged grew more
encouraging. At Costello while there
was a heavy financial loss, it was said
that not more than three persons were
dead
The homeless have all been provid-
ed with shelter. On the outsk irts OF
Austin are a number of houses which
were vacated by workers in the Good
year mill when the plant was dismant-
led. The houses have been filed with
homeless people. Provisions continue
to arrive in large quantities and there
will be no suffering for lack of food

Starts Long Deposition.

Charlottesville, Va, Oct. 3.-"No
jury in the world would ever say that
John Armstrong Chaloner is not COM
petent to administer his property
said Attorney Prick D. Ware, OF New
York city, as he swung off train
here today to represent Chaloner In
the taking of dispositions in his suit
in the New York Federal Court to re-
cover his property from a commit
tee,n Thomas T. Sherman.
Chaloner's deposition may be one
of the longest of record anywhere. he
said it would take week to tell what
he had to say. 1t being a deposition
there was little restriction on him, and
accordingly. Chaloner started at the
beginning to narrate how he was
thrust into the insane asylum al
Bluomingdale, N. Y, on the COM
plant of his brothers, Winthrop
Astor Chaloner and Lewis Stuyvesanl
Chaloner.
INSISTS HE HAS SCANDAL UP SLEEVE
Chaloner will tell how he was con-
fined four years in the madhouse; how
he escaped. and getting to Virginia,
had a court in Charlottesville declare
him sane. Chaloner will recount his
psychological researches, which were
the basis for lunacy proceedings IN
New York. Then he will tell, he re-
asserted today, of one of the wors,
scandals the world has ever known, a
scandal affecting one of the most
prominent men in New York city, an
aft air touching the innermost circles
of New York's 'tfour hundred"

Mrs. Prank 8. RiddIeberger Wins
the Twenty-Five Dollars
PriZe in Debate.

Should children be acquainted with
the real source of Kris Kringle's
bounty, and the veil be lifted between
them and that mysterious gentleman 2?
There were over 800 answers to this
grea big question that was suggested
as contest debate by the appearance
OF Bailey and Aldrich in ssThe Top
o. tn Worldn at the Columbia
Iheater last week, in Washington.
where Santa Claus delights children
and adults alike with a real exhibit
ton, upon the stage, of his love for
the children of men.
From all these essays the Judges
selected some Is or 20 which seemed to
them to hold the most sensible and
most sincere solution of the subject.
From this number the winner of the
first prize of S25 in gold was unanim-
ously selected.
This answer to the question was
| submitted by Mrs. Frank B. Riddle.
berger, 1888 Thirty first street north
west, Washington.
MRS. RIDDLEBERGER' ESSAY.
Il believe the Santa Claus myth
should be cherished because of the
love, kindness and generosity it
arouses.
who can look upon even the pic
lures of the Jolly old elf and not feel
a tightening of the heart? For he
personifies a spirit of joy and love; of
mirth and gladness we can i'll afford
to lose. In this age of sophistication
and materialism we all need a little
make believe.
1.-THE child lives rluch of the time in
an imaginary world. To him literal
ly things are not what they SEEM
Thus prosa:c brooms.ick becomes a
fiery steed, row of chairs rushing
train. We deprive him of his great
c source of pleasure and entertain
ment when we strip away these illu-
sions. OF all the legends and plays
we tell and enact for our little ones
the one of Santa Claus is the most
cherished, for almost every child has
known his bounty and felt the thrill
of mystery that enshrouds his person.
''If we regard Kris Kringle as the
spirit of love working for 10y and
happiness and expecting no reward it
is no longer myth but the recogni-
ton OF great truth, for there is in
human affairs just such spirit
''The child, if let alone, will grad
ually realize this and will in time
come to know that the dramatic legend
of st. Nick is a delightful game play
ed by his parents to give him hap
piness and he, too, will be ready to
enter into the play for the benefit of
others.
Sand so let us still read to the little
ores 'The. Night Before Christmas
still hang up the stockings to receive
the largness of the children's patron
saint. All too soon they will lose
the unalloved JOY only children know.
Unlike Peter Pan, they cannot keep
forever the spirit of eternal youth. -

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 6. 1911.

NJ. B. Wunder has made most

Office, but one term, the people OF
the county who are against long

vote for him without violating
convictions on the long term
proposition.

you that Wunder has held this
Office long enough, but this same

What is his logic worth? Il the
