OAKLAND WILL Be REPRE-
SENTED ON BATTLEFIELDs
Miss Mary Boyle Of Oakland, Sails
Saturday With Red Cross Nurses.

Miss Mary Boyle, daughter of Mr..
Michael Boyle of Oakland, will sail on
Saturday from New York, for Europe
where she will be assigned with other
nurses to care for the wounded upon the
battle fields of the war now raging in
that portion of the world
Miss Boyle is a graduate of Mercy
Hospital, Baltimore, where she has
been engaged for some years in her
profession. Enllsting as a volunteer
nurse with ten others of that city, she
became member of the American Red
Cross Society.
The party will leave for New York
tomorrow from Baltimore and will sail
Saturday on the steamer Red Cross, 3"
which has been specially engaged for
the Society and medical corps to &C
company the nurses.
Of Miss Boyle last nights Baltimore
News said:
One of the gamest of them all is Miss
Mary Boyle, graduate of Mercy Hos
pital. At the apartment of a friend
this morning whom she is visiting Miss
Boyle was hurriedly packing the few
needfuls that she will need for the trip.
ut won't be much" she laughingly
informed the reporter. "All the bag
gage they will allow US is one suit case
and-this.' - She held up a big longish
bag, made of heavy dark brown canvas
and marked with the words American
Red Cross encircling a red cross. "Our
clothes go into the suit case and our
equipment which we will receive in New
York, will be carried in the bag.
The bag has two handles, so that it
may be strapped over the shoulders or
carried in the hand, like a suit case.
Afraid? The clear gray eyes refuted
the idea even without the calm assur-
ance that Uncle Sam will take care of
u.s. Miss Boyle has had considerable
experience in the accident ward of the
Mercy Hospital, and the sight of a CORY
battlefield will have no terrors for her,
or so she thinks. She is quite used to
bandaging wounds and setting broken
legs and arms, and regards her coming
experiences in the light of a big and
splendid opportunity.
In moment, however, she was sober
again. Il don't really care where they
send me, she pursued. I'VE nurses
are ready to help them all. whether
English, German, French or Russian.
It's all big work for humanity and
am sure everyone of US will be willing
to go just where they ask us.

Surprise Party Near Accident.

On the night of August 31st the
many friends of Elder and Mrs. Jerem-
miah Beeghly, formerly of Accident,
but for the last few years residing at
Markleysburg, Pa, gathered at the
home of the daughter of this couple,
Mrs. A. j. Alexander, on Grand View
Heights" Elder and Mrs. Beeghly are
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander.
This grand old man has past his eight
ieth birthday and his wife is but one
year younger. There were about forty
guests present at "Hearts-desire' farm
on that evening, to greet this venerable
pair. The guests came from Oakland,
Deep Creek, McHenry, Flat Woods
and Accident.
Refreshments were served by the
Alexander family which would have
done credit to a king and his hosts.
About II O'Clock the delighted guests
began to arrange to depart to their
homes, rejoicing that they had the
privilege of once more meeting and en-
joying the company of these grand old
people, but the greatest surprise of the
evening was to come when Mr.. Mahlon
Glotfelty stepped up to Elder Beeghly
as If to shake hands, and handed him a
nice greentack, which example was
followed by many others until the FL
der's hands were full. A little grand
child taking in the situation, secured a
hat and held it for him while the old
TINS friends passed by and dropped some
thing in it, bill or some silver. 1t was
tender yet beautiful closing of the
evenings pl easure. Elder Beeghly has
devoted nearly his entire life in preach
ing the gospel and laboring in the cause
of the Master IN this community. The
scene of Monday is but slight recogni-
ton of his services. OF course this old
veteran was made very happy in this
token of esteem from his former nei-
bors.

One Thousand Dollars Insurance On
iEN HOuse---None On Contents.

Last Thursday night Oakland was
aroused by the alarm of fire. The
h ONE of Thomas Nethkin, In the sub
urbs of Oakland, by some unknown
cause was set on fire and with nearly
all the contents burned to the ground. =
Many of the apple trees near the house
were badly burned. The fire was dis
covered by Mrs. Jamison, daughter of
Mr.. Nethkin. She took her little daugh
ter up stairs to put her to bed, and when
she opened the door of her room a
great volume of smoke rushed out fol-
lowed by flames. She quickly ran down
stairs and gave the alarm, but too late
to save anything of consequence. There
was 81, 900 insurance on the house but
none on the contents. The house was
built during the civil war. A large
number of people reached the scene too
late to be of any service.

FABLES OF THE WAR

That tale from Antwerp of Lieut..

Indeed, something very much like Il

since became ordinary matters of fact
We can easily believe in the ingenuity
of Lieut.. Henkhart and in his armore

There are plenty of such cars in use

murmured to ourselves, "Oh, rats! The
boys have many flaws! If they could
only WELD their bats as they can wield
their jaws!"
The captain was Demosthenes, who
talked enough for two and tired the
bleachers, while the breeze athwart
his whiskers blew. The pitcher hag-
ged the wearp jumps, the umpire rag
ged the mall, until we murmured, DO
the chumps believe they're playing
ball?' With bottles drained of soda
pop we slugged them as they played,
and still their loud barbaric yawp into
the grandstand strayed. When Jenk-

When Bugins muffed an easy fly, which
gave us all pain, he tried to catch
the grandstand's eye in order to ex-

the flag, but now that hope is reefed;
they queered us when they chewed the
rag and paved and talked and beefed.

the fact with tears; and some are busy

men and danes to courses dissolute.
They bore us in our homes, they rend
and break our jaded hearts, and dislo

they are, in churches, streets and

ajar and make few remarks.
