her Jesus above. She was sick
only three weeks and bore her
sickness patiently until the

old and was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. ThomassGalloway

four years she has been making
her home with her sister, Mrs.

and was loved by all who knew
her. Earth weeps to give up
such a Jewel, while heaven re-
joices to receive 1t. We can
not understand why one that
we all loved 80 much is taken
from us. She led a quiet and
peaceful life and seemed to love
theWay OF righteousness and she

ing. The Solicitor, stenograph-
or and all the jurors were on
hand and everything in rediness

gin to turn but there was no

his train at Greenville and did
not reach here until Monday
afternoon. Court was prompt

Quite number of bills was
handed to the prand jury.
The first case called for trial
was the State vs.. Joe Hughes,

te-y with intent to kill. The
testimony for the State tended
to show that during last wintor
Mr.. Joe Hughes struck Mr.. G..
y. Hendricks with a stick on the
side of the head, which came
near being fatal, The testimony
for the defendant tended to show
that q previous misunderstand-
ing had arisen between Hendrix
and Hughes, by which bad feel
ings had been engendered, and
that on this day the defendant
hpprehended trouble, and after
hot words, he struck Hendricks.
Ihis case consumed all the af-
ternoon and was not finished
till Tuesday morning, when the
jury rendered verdict of gull
ty of assault and battery of a
high and aggravated nature.
j. Il. Hughes was sentenced
to pay fine Of $500. or serve
five months on the chain gang.
Notice of appeal was given and
the defendant was admitted to
bail in the sum of $500.
The first case called for trial
Tuesday morning was the State
VS.. Mason C]ardy for removing
crop after levy made. After
hearing the testimony the Judge
directed 8 verdict of not guilty,
because the testimony failed to
show. the defendant removed
the crop.
The next case called for trial
was The State VS.. Thomas Wick
charged with assault and bat

berry. The testimony for the
State tended to show that on

The Blanket Tree.

Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador,
and, while the idea of an all wood
fresh from the forest bed covering
might give insomnia and a backache to
the child Of civilization who likes to
snuggle comfortably under several lay

1t all right, as in fact 1t is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants q
blanket he hunts up demajagua tree

This is dampened and beaten until the
fedbility Of the sheet is much increas-
ed. The rough gray exterior Is next
peeled off, and the sheet dried In the

light and fairly warm, of an attractive
cream color. 1t may be rolled into a
compact bundle without hurt and with
ordinary usage will last for several
years.-Harper's.

LIGHTING WITH GAS.

And the Young Scotsman Who Wore Q
Wooden Hat.
One morning a good many years ago
a young Scotsman was shown into
the Office of a great engineer at Biz.
mingham. The young man was wear,
Ing hat Of extraordinary shape, and
In his nervousness at meeting the man
OF fame he let the hat slip. 1t fell
with hollow thud upon the floor. The
engineer looked with establishment at
the thing. The owner picked It up
and apologized for the noise It had
caused. It was Of wood, he explained.
BE had made 1t himself. turning It
with his fathers lathe.
The engineer thought that there
must be something In a man who could
think out and make such a thing as
this. He forthwith engaged him, kept
an eye upon him and gave him work
of responsibility. The engineer was

The man with the wooden hat justi-
fed the judgment Of the man who en-
ployed him. After awhile he was sent
away to Cornwall, and when he re-
turned 1t was to light up his masters
premises with gas. The mind which
first practically applied the coal gas to
the purpose of lighting lived inside
that wooden hat-St James Gazette.

On March 6, 1912, Lehigh county

nal Indian name is said to have been
Le-chau-weech-ink, or Le-chau-week-i,
meaning 'the place of the fork of the
road" The German settlers of the
region shortened this into 'Lecha,"
which Is still in use among the Penn

TIPPING AN ARTIST.

Winslow Homer was a great painter
who had the unusual good fortune to
have his merit appreciated early In
life. But no one ever presumed less
on wide reputation. Affectation was
a weakness from which his sense of
humOr saved him.
In his biography by Mr.. W. h.
Downs is printed the story of New
York gentleman Of wealth and artistic
tastes who made the journey to Scar
boro, Me-, where Homer had his studio,
to make the artists acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the studio
door locked. The owner was nowhere
to be seen. He wandered about the
cliffs for awhile until he met a man
In a rough old suit of clothes, rubber
boots and battered hat, who carried
a fishpole. He accosted the fisherman
thus:
"Say, my man, II you can tell me
where 1 can find WinsIow Homer
have quarter for you
where's your quarterT said the
fisherman.
He handed it over and was astound-
ed to hear the quizzical Yankee fisher
man say, II am Winslow Homer"
The sequel of this unusual introduc-
ton was that Homer took his new &C.
quaintance back to the studio, enter
tanned him and before he left sold him
a picture.
