MUELLER To TELL
OF C|TY'S FORESTRY.
Will Address State Foresters at
Their Annual Con-
ventiOn

What Harrisburg has done to pre-
serve its trees by the establishment
of the city forestry department under
City Commissioner NJ. Harvey Taylor,
superintendent of parks and public
property, will be told to the foresters
of the State by City Forester Harry ].
Mueller at the fourth annual summer
convention OF Pennsylvania Foresters
that began at Galeton, Potter county,
to-day.
Mr.. Mueller left at noon to-day for
Galeton and will be in session with the
other foreSters tomorrow and We'd
nesday. The convention is held under
the direction of the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Forestry and in addition
to the various officials throughout the
State who have charge of municipal
and private tree maintenance, mem
hers of the State Forestry Commission
will be in attendance.
While Mr.. Mueller is not on the pro-
gram for any paper it is quite likely
that the progress Harrisburg has made
in its pioneer movement to care for its
trees will be discussed and Mr.. Mueller
has prepared a lot of important data
on the subject.
Among other things Mr.. Mueller
will likely discuss the city's future
plans in the forestry department as it
is understood that the city forester ex-
poets to ask for appropriation OF S15,-
600 when the budget ordinance is pre-
pared for 1915.

Severe Storms Over City
Cause Little Damage

Local thunderstorms yesterday to-
gether with almost half an inch of
rain, made little outings planned by
Harrisburgers uncertain. The first
storm broke over the city about noon,
the second one in the evening. No
serious damage was reported here or
in any of the surrounding towns, al
though lightning struck number of
places. The river is expected to fall
soon from the stage of more than I
feet maintained over the weekend.
The high water did not keep away
bathers however, as several hundreds
of boys went in swimming yesterday.
Electric service was hampered in
parts of Steelton and Oberlin and tele-
phone service was hindered near Me-
chanicsburg for a short time during
the storms. The excess in rainfall for
the first days of this month is about
two inches.

Kidnapped Jersey City
Boy Is Found in West

New York, n. Y, Aug. 9.-Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Glass of Jersey City, y.
j., are on their way to-day to Nor
man, Oklahoma, to recover their four
year-old son, James, who was kid
mapped in Greely, Pa, on May IL, last.
Mr.. Glass is an auditor in the employ
of the Erie railroad.
The missing boy vanished when his
mother left him playing in the street.
Aided by detectives his parents search
ed for him in dozen States. Several
days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Glass received
a message from the Chief of Police
of Norman, saying he believed he had
found the boy. According to the ad-
vices the child was left by an un-
identified woman in the custody of
Williams Malore, of Norman, in re-
sponse to Mr. Malore's advertisement
for a boy to adopt. A photograph and
marks'of identification have convinced
Mr.. Glass that his son has been found.
Why, or by whom the boy was kid
mapped is unknown.

LosT-A DAGGER IN A MAN.

NV Chinese friend and I were soon
busy bargaining for carvings and other
loot from the temples. One partly de-
stroyed josshouse presently attracted
my attention, and a really splendid
carved image which I saw exposed
through the broken walls caused me
to hurry toward the spot 7 elbowed
my way through a crowd of Chinese.
closely followed by Tyongphong I
noticed as | moved that these children
of the sun were by no means pleased
at my intrusion. A nearer sight of the
image gave me a wild desire to pos
sess it, and l turned to my Chinese
friend and sid, eXcitedly, Get me that
god!" at the same time holding a SOW
ereign before his eyes.
The action had evidently been
noticed by the crowd, for hostile muir
blow on my left hand, which was rest
ing on my hip, and a sharp pain in
my hand and back. Looking down at
my hand saw that one of the China
men had driven long spike or rude
dagger clean through my hand and
into my back. The danger was all
the more apparent when ! saw that
the gigantic ruffian who had wounded
me stood calmly by without making
any attempt to escape.
Quicker than 1 can write 1t a hun
dred hands were uplifted to strike me
down, and | little thought l should
see the old Java again, much less re-
turn to England. Tyongphong shouted
one word to me-"Run!"-and 1
scarcely needed a second hint to try
to escape at all costs. Plunging des-
perately into the crowd. l scattered
them right and left, and my flight was
so sudden and my rush so fierce that
got to the fringe of the mob before
they realized what 1 was doing.
Tyongphong was close at my heels,
and together we pegged away. gradu-
ally leaving the bowling throng be-
hind. So great was the tension of my
feeling at the time that l had forgot
ten to extract the knife from my hand.
and IL was only when we were at a
safe distance that we stopped for this
purpose. Tyongphong told me that
the last man to give up the chase was
the ruffian who had stabbed me. He
had pursued us with dogged persist
ence, loudly calling to us to give him
back his knife! This has since struck
me as decidedly humorous. For a
man boldly to request the return of a
weapon with which he has endeavored
to murder you requires more than
ordinary amount of assurance.-From

HOW WE HAVE ADVANCED,

TFrom the Christian Herald
The student life of HUI is singularly
free from moral excesses. That is all
the more remarkable because the
morals of his age, especially as regards
the relations of the sexes: were no.
toriously low. Shocking tales are told
about the vices of the Bohemian king
Wenceslaus. and IL l were to reproduce
here what Hus preached and wrote
about the immortality of priests. this
issue of the Christian Herald could not
be sent through the United States
mails There is a curious remark re-
corded which Hus made to a friend as
he was about to start on his journey
to the Council OF Constant, which put
him to death. and in which he deplores
the errors of his youth. Vanity in
dress and a passionate love for play
ing chess is what he charges himself
with. Poor mev he says; ~ am now
to be chastised because, being misled
by the fashion of bad men and the ap-
plause of people, l have worn beautiful
and superfiuous garments. In this re-
spect have been tempted by the spirit
of pride to act contrary to the will of
God / pray thee by the mercy of
Jesus Christ: Do not follow me in the
levity which you have noticed in me-
You know that before became a priest,
l. alas frequently and passionately
used to play chess. wasting my time in
this game. and often rousing others
and myself to anger thereby" But
even against these foibles of his youth
he fought sternly.

is being taken out by Mrs. Roessing
with the understanding that the So, 900
is to be used to help carry the suffrage

she dies between now and election.
Beyond stating that it was ''prac-
teal precaution," the leader of the
PENNSYLVANIA suffragists refused to dis
crss the matter. II was learned at
State headquarters. however, that Mrs.
Roessing's action is prompted by the
same motives which govern the TAX
ing out of extra insurance by practical
businessmen when any campaign in
which they and their followers are
vitally interested approaches the crit
ical stage where it might be jeopar-
dized by the death of a leader. The
critical stage of the suffrage campaign
is close at hand.
The application for the $4,000 policy
brought to light another interesting
fact, namely, that Mrs. Roessing has
carried a heavy accident insurance for
the benefit of the Pennsylvania suf-

her into the field and she took early

London Optimistic Over
New Situation in Russia
By Associated Press

London, Aug. 9.-The morning new7-
papers look upon the Russian situation
more optimistically than they have
for several days.
The Times declares: while the po-
sition of certain portions of the Rus
sian forces still remains critical, there
is every reason to believe the excellent
order with which their withdrawal has
been executed thus far will be main
tanned until all have reached the new
line of defense"
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Daily News asserts the German flank
movement by way of Riga has been
successfully checkmated. THE aban-
donment of the German attempt on
Aga" says the News, marks the fail
ure of the general scheme for forcing
battle with the retreating Russians
before they reach the Brest-Litovsk
line"

LAS between rotten food and rotten

Both are bad and no person should be

dust and to which, besides the dirt
and disease germs carried to it by
flies, is added the filth from the un-

Carefully wash all vegetables and

avoid this, are so simple that they
can be followed by any one.
Don't take your troubles with you
forget yourself and have a good
time.
Don't crowd too much into one day
and try to see it all.
Eat meats and sweets sparingly
better eat meat but once daily.
avoid alcoholic and other iced

drinks are more refreshing.
Eat fresh, ripe fruits and veget-

avoid excitement and choose quiet
