$4,000 for Coming Year.

Many Applications for License Re

Especial Harrisburg Correspondence
Harrisburg.-The automobile tags
for 1913 of this State Will be dark
olive green with white figures and
the keystone in soft metal. This color
has been decided upon by Highway
Commissioner f. NJ. Bigelow, who is
in charge of the automobile registra-
ton of the State, and bids will be
asked at once for furnishing $4,000 to
the State. This year the tags have
been mahogany with white letters and
in other years have been yellow with
black letters, red with white letters
and dark blue. The green tags will be
something like those used by New
York this year, but the style OF the
Pennsylvania tag is different from
that of New York Az innovation by
Mr. Bigelow is the order that the con-
tractors bid to supply the tags by
November l. This is considerably
earlier than ever before and is due to
the fact that for weeks before the
close of the year the department has
many applications for new tags for
the coming year, and it is planned to
get them out ahead. Last year over
10000 applications were made before
the close of 1911, and the work had
to go on day and night for the latter
part of December and early part Of
January. This year a start will be
made in November and there will be
no congestion at the close Of the year.
The new tags will not be worth any
thing until January l, 1913, and it Will
not matter how early they are bought.
This year 10000 tags were ordered.
Mr.. Bigelow will order 10000 for 1913

the prettiest and most popular girls
OF Washington, reached home after
being strangely missing for nearly
year. The girl told an amazing story
OF her experience since she had van
ished, following the close of the
county fair here last fall. In her story,
told to the authorities here, Miss Den
man said she had become acquainted
with a young stranger at the fair, and
when the fair closed this man per
suaded to accompany a side show.
The girl said she left town with the
company with the idea of "traveling
to the next town for the fun OF the
thing" and then returning home.
Scarcely was she out of the town
when, according to her story, the man
ager of the company informed her that
she was under contract and threat
ened her il she attempted to escape
or made any statement to officers.

Deer Like Sanitarium.

DR.. Samuel q. Dixon, State Health
Commissioner, returned from visit
to the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium
at Mount Alto. On the road down
from the sanitarium to the station Mr..
Dixon was confronted by three deer,
a doe and two well-grown faWns. The
wild animals stood and watched the
approach of the team until quite close,
when they moved off leisurely into
the woods. The reservation on which
the sanitarium is located is full OF
deer, and they are very tame, fre-
quently going to the houses to get
salt and other thingss to eat. Some
time ago a herd of twelve were seen
and last spring a bunch of seventeen
that had been after salt at the cook
house stood still long enough to be
photographed. 1t is forbidden to kill
deer on the reservation, but in the
woods surrounding they are plentiful,

SHARP BATTLE IN ARKANSAS
Charge and Countercharse at Prairie
Grove is Graphically Related by
Veteran of Chicago.

Western fighting was not so dTa-
matically set forth at the time of the
war as were the campaigns of the
east. but its picturesqueness is un-
questionable. It has special claim
on Chicago's interest because many
OF the men who fought in the army OF
the frontier are now living in Chica-
20. One of these, George Rettig, who
lives at 2105 Leland avenue, tells of
his experiences at Prairie Grove in
the Arkansas-Missour campaign OF
1852. The story is as follows:
After the battle of Rheas Mills we
came down TO the place known as
Prairie Grove. Here Our position was
on high ground on the concave side OF
bend made by the valley Of little
stream. Beyond the creek and the
level land that bordered it was an
other rise of ground, on which the
COnfederates had their battery hidden
In the woods.
The Third Wisconsin cavalry, my
regiment, was at the right. and the
Twentieth Wisconsin infantry was at
ibV NSiIttl MS eeo lllltllJ Sltl lSb phI
first. Down the hill they went, with
The fire of the rebel battery Converged
on them, and across the level ground
and up the other hill they made their
way, climbing a fence to reach the
wooded ground. They reached the
guns and a captain had planted flag
on the battery when the whole line Of
Confederate infantry, which had been
reserved for this purpose, rose up and
threw the Wisconsin men back down
the hill. More than 100 of our men
were left hanging on the fence or dy-
ing in the woods.
Then the secesh came out in turn.
They aimed for point half way be-
tween my regiment and the Twentieth
Wisconsin. Here Rapp's Indiana bat
terry was set up. The Confederates
tried to charge the battery, and every
time they were driven back by rain

of grape and canister. It was like
shooting into a flock of chickens. The
COnfederates spread for moment
and then came back again to the
charge. They We're piled FIVE and six
high in front of the guns before they
were ordered back to their lines.
Evening came, and there was no
more fighting. and in the morning
when we expected to be attacked we
found that the enemy had left. So
we went down and took Van Buren,
and Fort Smith. There was not much
trouble there. We came down from
the high ground into the city after
an engagement with some Texas rang
ers, and we found the place deserted
by the men. The secesh were on the
other side of the river with a battery
and they shot canister and grape
across the water and up the streets.
We put a Union flag on the courthouse,
and they shelled it, but their aim was
not good, and the flag stayed With
all their firing they did not hit one
man OF us, but they did kill several
hogs and one woman"

farmer living near WesCosville, was

Sins to Account For.

Church members have no right to
condemn the liquor traffic and then
to rent stores in which to carry on
the same. Naturally therefore, these
people when they saw their Illegal
gains interfered with should request
Jesus to depart, V. IT. and this even
in the face of what had been done for
stricken man. Luke tells us duke
$50 that they were holden with a
great fear. Fear of what? Surely not
any fear OF this Galilean teacher, but
rather were they fearful of the effect
OF his life upon their material pros
perity. Big business will have some
sins to account for when in the face
of known facts they still press for
their gains ignoring the cry of the af-
flicted and careless of unreasonable
house and unsanitary living condi-
tions.
On the other hand why did Jesus re-
fuse such logical and seemingly rea-
sonable and proper a request as that
recorded in verse 18? Was it not
very natural request and an evidence
of gratitude as we'll? Jesus, however,
knew better place. for he saw
greater Joy in store for this man.
Hence he commanded the man to 'go
home"
A suggestion outline for this lesson
would be as follows:
l. A great storm 4:35-41. The COM
mand Of Jesus, v. 35; the WEAKNESS of
Jesus, v. SO; the alarm of the dis
ciples, V. SO; the Indifference of Jesus,

II. A glorious cure. 5:1-2O. % The
Gadarene type of sin, V. 10, unclean,
separated, no restraint, self.injury,
(2) The Gadarene cleansed, v. G-15. He
recognized purity.
Ill The great mission, v 1920. An
improper request, V. H. \ proper re
quest, v, 18. A hard request, v. 10. a
great result. see Luke 8: 40.
