None Went Mad.

Bert German, of Headquarters,
and Isaac Smith, of Sergeant Mills,
Delaware township, both of whom
were bitten about three weeks ago
by aosupposed mad dog that passed
through Sergeantsville, have re-
turned from the Pasteur Institute
in New York, where they under
went treatment for eighteen days.
Not only have neither Messrs.
German or Smith suffered any i'll
effects, but none of the animals
bitten have exhibited any evidences
of hydrophobia. 1t was reported
back from New York that the ami
NAL had bad case, judging from
the brain test made.

Will She Save 1t.

There's lady here in Lambert
vile that says she is going to start in
on the first day of November to
save money. She will save one cent
the first day, two cents the second
day, and keep on doubling every
day the whole month.
She says she will but we don't
think she will. She says, too, that
if it works well in November she
will try it again in December, which
has one more day. What's better
still, she says she will spend every
cent she saves right here in her
home city.
Do you think she can do it? If
she does. it in November, do you
think she can do it again in Decem-
Der, even by using the money saved
in. November to apply to the new
saving?
So convinced is she that it will be
a success that she announces that
next year she will begin saving on
the sfrst day of November and
double the amount each day until
the day before Christmas? Can
you do as we'll?
Get out your pencil and paper
and begin to figure. Next week
we will tell you how much you will
have to save.
IT she does carry out her inten-
lions, business throughout the
world will cease on December 9th,
for absolute lack of money, some
say. The figures are all in type,
but see what you get first.

STINTSMAN FAMILY HISTORY.
Thomas Stintsman, proprietor of
Stintsman's hall and one of New
Hopes best known citizens, is much
interested in the research by the
Bucks County Historical Society into
the early history of the Stintsman
family.
The name was originally given as
Tinsman or Tintsman, but research
of an old family Bible showed that
it should be Stintsman, by which the
present branch has long been known.
The research down to the present
time shows that his great-grand-
father Stintsman was murdered and
robbed while out on cattle buying
trip, it being customary in those
days to carry the purchase money
along in coin.
His great-grandmother Stintsman
was caretaker of the Deep Run
Mennonite Church, which is located
west of the Tohickon creek. His
ancestors were here at the time of
the American Revolution, and just
how much further back does not
now appear.

Save the Water.

Owing to the drought, the water in
the reservoirs of the lambertville Water
Company is now unusually low, and
unless there is a sufficient rainfall with
in short time to start the springs to
flowing, it will be necessary to fill the
mains with unfiltered river water.
The Company therefore requests that
all unnecessary use of water be stopped
and that the citizens cooperate with
the Company in conserving, as long as
possible, the water now in the reser-
voirs.
If the consumers will at once reduce
the amount of water used to the small
est quantity practicable, the necessity
for resorting to river water, which is
said to be polluted with disease germs,
may be avoided.
