Quite True.

The vicar of an English mining vii
lage sent pair of boots to the cob
bler's for repairs, but Bill, who had
been imbibing rather freely, felt no
inclination for work, so the boots were
not touched that day. Next morning
his nerves were rather shaky and he
longed for "a hair Of the dog that bit
him." His own boots were rather dir
ty, so he thought there was no harm
in putting on the parsons, which he
accordingly did. and turned off into the
village pub. for big "reviver" He
had not gone very far when whom did
he meet but the vicar, who said:

them yet?'

FLED FROM ENRAGED WOMAN
Husband, but Ran When At
tackled by Victims Wife.

A. B. McCloskey, a farmer near
Hyner, was attacked by a she bear
in his barnyard and so seriously
wounded that it is feared he may die.
The bear came into the yard in search
of food. McCloskey shot at the ami
NAL with small caliber target gun
and wounded it. The bear threw him
to the ground and badly mangled his
left arm and leg. The animal was
driven off by Mrs. McCloskey, who
beat 1t with club. A party of farm
ers started in pursuit of the animal
over the mountains later in the day.
The experience of McCloskey Is
unique in this section Of the state and
caused great excitement In the vicin-
ity of Hayner, where the party of farm
ers quickly gathered and started out
in pursuit of the bear, under the lead
ership of B. B. McCloskey, the Penn
sylvania railroad station agent at
Hyner, who Is the wounded mans
brother. They hunted over the noun
tains near McCloskey's home during
the greater part Of the day, but were
unable to find any trace of the ami
NAL. The same bear is believed to
have carried off live calf from q
neighboring farm several days ago.

This is the pleasantest place on

supper served from the little table at

become quite an institution.
The supper consists of cold meats,

Often neighbors and friends drop In

party gathers here in the cool shade.
If you have no outdoor sitting-room,

Ancient Calf.

Awkward mistakes occur sometimes
through falling into certain manner
isms OF expression. A parson had a
habit of frequently saying ''for years
and years and years." in the course
of a sermon. He was preaching on
the Prodigal Son, and spoke of him
sitting down in that far-off land think
ing of the home that he had not seen
for years and years and years."
This was all right, but presently he
spoke of the welcome to his old home,
and of the calf which his father had
kept in anticipation of that happy day.

vorite cadence for the winding up of a
sentence: "Yes, the calf which he had
kept for years and years and years!"

AN OUTDOOR SITTING ROOM
BY MRS. A. j. WILDER.

Many of us are not yet able to have
all the conveniences of modern homes,
such as hot and cold water in the
house, electric lights, ETC., but If we
cannot have the pleasures of city life,
all the more reason why we should
not allow ourselves to put up with
city discomforts
The only place that many tired
farmers wife has in which to rest is
stuffy sitting-room, room that is
kept closed and darkened most of the
time, to keep out flies and the dust.
OF course, the room is clean and
quiet, and in the winter, with CHEEKY
fire. is very good place to rest, but
in the summer there is nothing 80
restful to tangled nerves and tired
muscles as the fresh, sweet, outdoor
air.
We In the country have in abun-
dance free of charge, this life-giving.
health-giving fresh air, which people
in the cities spend money and make
journeys to reach.
When the work in the house is done
and you have few moments to read,
or sew, or do some dainty fancy work,
do this outdoors.
Anyone can have an outdoor sitting
room like the one I have in mind.
Yes, it is my own, and so thoroughly
appreciate it.
There is an old oak tree in front Of
the house, with large, spreading
branches. To one of these is hung an
old-fashioned rope swing, with a board
for a seat.
Grouped near it in the shade Of the
same tree are camp chairs, a porch
swing chair, two or three homemade
rocking chairs, made of hickory sap
lings twisted into shape while green,
| and a small table, made from the roots
and a short piece of the body of a
small oak tree, the roots serving as
legs, and a board top fastened to the
sawed-off trunk.
There are cushions everywhere, in
the chairs, on the grass, and close to
| the foot of the old oak tree, whose
| trunk makes a good back to the cush-

The covers to these cushions are of
pretty calico, Bingham and lawn, just
pieces left over, from the sewing bas-
ket, and are easily washed.
