Both to young and old Mr.. Muldoon's
"hold your head up" suggestion is in

head goes higher the impulse is to deep
er breathing. A man finds more elas-
ticity in his limbs. He steps out with
more ease. There is more spring to his
gait. He isn't numbering, shambling

elevation Of the crown Of the head
there seems to come clearer thinking
a more buoyant feeling and brighter

Omen the Eyes Under Water.

Practice opening the eyes under wa
ter in swimming, for with favorable
conditions there is much to be seen and
enjoyed in the queer ghostly light be-
low. The ability to see when below
the surface may some time prove Of
priceless value. 1t is one Of the attri-
butes Of swimming, and it may be
readily mastered. But do not OPEN the
eyes until well below. The closed lid
is an ample protection when one is
plunging from any height, and it should
remain closed until the first swift
downward rush is ended.-All Out

Game Notes.

Secretary of Game Commission,
Joseph Kalbfus, addressed a
meeting of the local sportsmen's
associations at Bedford last week.
Bedford county is to receive a
liberal number of game birds and
animals for distribution this
spring. Fulton county, accord
ing to letter to this office, is to
receive a small number of ring
neck pheasants in the spring.
We have been told that ten or
twelve years ago, a covey of tame
English pheasants were liberated
in the northeastern part of this
county, and they soon fell a prey
to boys (big ones) who could
walk up to them and pot them as
easily as any old rheumatic roost-
er on the farm could be shot.
The idea of preserving them un-
til they become wild and multi
piled seems not to have been con-
sidered. The Mexican quail
brought from the torrid zone to
be liberated in Pennsylvania to
freeze to death, happily all died
in Harrisburg before being set
free. Experience in every state
in the Union has shown that i'm
ported game birds are a rank
failure in the United States, in
cluding those brought from simi-
lar climates. Local sportsmen
united a few weeks ago in a re-
quest that several elk be liberated
in the Meadowgrounds and in the
Aughwick regions this spring,
but the applications were refused
by the Game Commission as not
practical on account of probable
damage suits that would be in
stituted by land owners. The
Secretary states that accumulat-
ed claims now run into many
thousands of dollars, and that
wild turkeys are included in the
nuisance class by some farmers.

Lost Two Nice Heifers.

A peculiar accident happened
causing the loss of two valuable
young heifers to Farmer Conrad
Glazier of the Cove on Sunday
night. He was keeping a herd
of cattle at his farm just south
of town, tenanted by Dale Gar
land. When Dale went to the
barn Monday morning to feed,
he noticed that the cattle did not
get up when the feed was placed
in the manger, and on going
around into the stable to investi-
gate, found two nice two-year-
old heifers lying dead in one of
the stalls. 1t seems that one of
the heifersRad stripped her chain
sometime during the night went
to visit a neighbor in a nearby
stall, both became tangled up in
the latter's chain, both fell and
strangled to death. ~

BOILER EXPLOSION.
John A. Irwin Painfully Scalded Mon
day Afternoon When Boiler Of His
Heating Plant Burst.

The home Of Merchant John A.
Irwin, of the Irwin Store" is
equipped with a hot-water heat
ing plant-the boiler being in the
basement and the expansion tank
and outlet pipe on the third story
the pipe opening out on the
north side of the building.
About 1890 Monday afternoon,
Mr.. Irwin went down to the
boiler and seeing that it needed
some additional water, opened
the intake pipe. Soon after the
beginning of the injection of the
cold water, the boiler burst on
the side by which Mr.. Irwin was
standing, and the escaping hot
water and steam scalded him
very severely from his chin to
his feet. DIR. Mosser was called
and rendered Mr.. Irwin every at
tention possible under the cir
cumstances, and Mr.. Irwin has
been resting as comfortably as
might be expected. 1t is hoped
that the burns were not deep,
and that he will speedily recover
without any i'll effects of the ac-
cident.
1t is believed that the blizzard
Of Saturday night and Sunday,
which drove down from the north,
sealed the outlet p'pe, thus chang
ing the plant from a hot-water,
to one of steam.

Visited Columbus.

ers, were in town last Thursday
drawing the jurors for the March

of a very pleasant trip he had to
Columbus, O., during the holi-
days, visiting his daughter Amy
(Mrs. E. j. Bennett) and his Sis
ter Elmira, (Mrs. John LODGE.
One of the things that makes
Columbus famous is, that it is
the city in which Peruna is made
the medicine that has made DIR.
Hartman a multi-millionaire. Mr.
Hixson, with some friends, visit
ed the Doctors dairy farms
eight or ten of them-near Col
umbus. Threehundred and forty
cows are MIXED daily and the
milk taken into the City and sold
at 10 cents a quart. The men
that do the milking are dressed
in spotless white garments, and
there is a man to do the milking
for every twenty-six cows-t the
milking being done by hand.

Farm Notes.

We are at a loss how to begin
our notes" this week, for the
reason that the mass of splendid
data pertains to districts organ
lied with some definite object in
view. 1t seems that things that
are worth while, things that
bring solid and lasting benefit,
are being accomplished only
through, or by community work.
Here is a story of a community
that is selling 400 pounds of but
ter every week in distant cities
at city retail prices. The butter
is sent directly to the consumers
by parcel post. That district
has a wide awake agent of the
State Experiment.Statio to work
up such mattersfarthem. Brief
ly, the butteris all made by an
expert in a centrally located
creamery and it is real butter for
which the city eaters gladly pay
the price, for it. never offends
those aristocratie noses. The
splendid worksof boys and girls,
clubs that never go to pieces"
would fill this page of the paper.
Oranges that deserve the name,
conducted on sound business
principles, seem to be winning
wonderful results socially, finan-
cially, and politically. They are
claiming the fatherhood of many
of the recent laws that favor the
farmer. All this looks easy and
simple, but when we dig down
under the surface for reasons,
we invariably find that some
where in the bunch" there is a
''gander" whose sole business it
is to lead in the interest of his
people. He reverses the usual
order of too many isolated, tenn
porary organizations by eliminat-
ing the cause of failure, namely,
what's everybody's business is
nobody's business. Hundreds
of men are men now past the A

her Slst Anniversary.

Mrs. James A. Stewart, of
Green Hill, expects to celebrate
in a quiet way her S1st birthday
on Friday, the 18th. Among the
guests to be present are her son,
William N. Stewart, of Trenton,
N. j., and her daughter, Mrs. l..
H. While, of Harrisburg. Her
home-the Green Hill House-is
one of the very few remaining
road houses that were famous
among travellers between the
East and the West before the ad-
vent of railroads, and it never
closed. Mrs. Stewart lived there
nearly all the years of her, life,
and has lived to see the ''Old
Pike" rebuilt, and rehabilitated
by travel. and the old House is
again frequently taxed to over
flowing on many summer days
and nights. We venture the as
sertion that no other landlady be-
tween Philadelphia and Pittsburg
is so often remembered by her
guests who send her souvenirs
from all interesting points in
North America. Mrs. Stewart
assists actively every day in the
duties of the household.

License Courts.

Judge Gillian, last Friday, filed
a decree granting all the liquor
licenses applied for in Franklin
county with the exception of the
National Hotel at Greencastle,
which was the only one against
which there was a aremonstrance.
Owing to the fact that Bedford
county has dry" Court, there
are no applications for license
this spring. The Adams county
license court came to close last
Friday after a fight of almost
three weeks. The remonstrances
were against the hotel at York
Springs, and two places, in Get
tysburg. Judge Mcpherson has
set March 9th as the time for
handing down the decisions in all
of the cases. Jefferson county
has been added to the dry" list
of counties of this state. The
Judge recently refused all ap-
for licenses-44 in
number. Last year the county
had 4S licensed places.

through Fulton county, as well as
throughout the State. Southern
California has more highway
boulevards than, herhaps, any
other like area of the United
States; and it has been a splen-
did investment, though not eco
nomically expended. The con-
structionof good permanent roads
is one'of the most logical and
practical business policies Fulton
county can adopt. Then with
the highly perfected auto vehic-
les now available, and a qietus
put on the so per cent. dividends

tion of transportation of all kinds
can be quite satisfactorily met.
