A Case of Hair Cutting.

During the fair, doll-rack stood
alongside Hartman's store. The pro-
prietor and his wife roomed with l..
C. Jenkins. The lady had very fine
head of hair, and shortly after noon
on Friday, she washed the same, and
while it was drying lay down on the
bed in her room and fell asleep with
her hair lying loose.
Some time later she rushed from
the room declaring to the family that
her hair had been cut off. This was
even SO, and the lady had left only
the jagged stubs 1t seems that the
door was locked, or so she claimed.
The screen on the window, north
one, was broken through, and some
quantity of the rusty wire, as we'll as
small locks of hair, were on the car
pet.
The woman claims that she woke
up feeling bright as usual, not as
though she had been drugged.
Great interest was naturally taken in
the affair. On Saturday the Jenkins
home was searched by officers at the
instigation of the husband of the vic
tim, but nothing developed to clear
up the mystery. -Clearfield Enter

Lost Man in Woodland.

A we'll known citizen of Woodland
township, who shall be nameless here
who was one of large crowd OF
farmers who took part in heavy
job of road grading where key OF
beer is said to have been the moving
inspiration of the occasion, returned
home in the evening so completely
exh austed from Notwithstanding
the faucet Of the beer keg-that his
better half mistook his condition of
exhaustion for that of intoxication
and chided him so bitterly that he
took for the cornfield as fast as his
tired and wobbly legs could carry
him, no toubt feeling like Rip Van
Wrinkle, that nothing short of a sleep
lost energies. Nightfall came and the
hill and dale, but he did not return.
The wife became alarmed and anxious
and imagination brought many hor-
rid thoughts as to which might have
happened to him. The river lay be-
low the cornfield. Could he have fall
en- or thrown himself into it to be-
come food for the turtles? That ter
rible thought compelled immediate
action and the telephone alarm soon
brought crowd of neighbors to the
scene, the Pickering lights of many
lanterns illuminated that corn field
and continuous jungles and the sill
ence of the night were rent by calls
and bellows that set the dogs of
neignboring townships to barking.
The object of their search was finally
found, rudely awakened from his
sleep and restored to the bosom of his
family, somewhat more sober and
penltenu man.-Lineville Tribune.

general quarters every morning and

Our record time of loading from
the magazines and she'll rooms is 80
seconds but we very seldom load IN
that time as there is something usual

afraid this ship would not give very
good account of herself.

The best cure for sea-sickness is to
prevent it by eating a light diet and
very little sweets, and if we should
