THINGS TO OMIT

If the film producers consulted the
taste of the community little more,
they would not put in their movies
so many mollycoddles lighting cigar
cites every time they turn around.
1t greatly detracts from the interest
hardly as bad, but there can be too
of the picture. Lighting cigar is
much of that The weaknesses and
follies of the age should be kept out
of the movies unless they are a part
of the argument. But to embelish
them with these frailties is a mis-
take. TO many people it is disgust
ing, and certainly it is not called for
as mere incident to any entertain
ing picture.-Ohio State Journal.

Veteran Odd Fellow.

CookeviIIe, Tenn, March 9.-"Uncle
Iurdon" Huddleston, who lives abou
two miles southeast OF this city, and who
enjoys the distinction OF being the oldest
Odd Fellow in the United States, was
initiated as member OF Mount View
lodge OF this city forty-two years ago The
present month. "Uncle Jurdon" is now
in his ninety fifth year and is in the en-
loyment OF splendid health. His mind is
clear, and he can walk mile without eX-
periencing fatigue. He has been con-
sstent member OF the Methodist Church
for eighty-five years, and during the forty
two years in which he has been an Odd
Fellow his interest in the order has never
waned. He has been prominently identi-
fled with this county ever since its organ
ization, and he enjoys the confidence and
esteem OF all who know him.-NdShpfile
Banner.
"Uncle Jurdon" isn't in the same class
as a veteran Odd Fellow besides Daniel
s. Rentch, ESQ.,, OF ShepherdStown. Past
Grand Master Rentch, who is also in his
95th year, has been an Odd Fellow for
eighteen years longer than Mr.. Hutdles-
ton, having been member oi the order
for sixty years. He still enjoys good
health and goes 10 his office every day,
where e.attends 10 his business as justice
OF the peace and other matters.
We claim for Mr. Rentch that he is the
Oldest Odd Fellow in the United States,
both in years OF his age and in years OF
membership in the order.

A Theory Put Into Practice by Well
Known Business Man

to make lasting friends OF his custom
ers," said Mr. J. C. Brady, popular
Rexan Pharmacist Of Fall River.
Mass. The very nature OF his busi-
ness draws their confidence for little
helpful suggestions on the matter Of
health. Many people have thanked
me for recommending Rexall orderlies
as the best relief for constipation and
its resultant Ills. Put up in dainty
candy tablet form, they are pleasant to
the taste and make an IDEAL laxative

A Tricky Trap-For A Bear.

Most wild animals, writes Prince Sarath
Ghosh, the author OF THE Wonders OF
the Jungle" are stupid as well as greedy
and obstinate, but for sheer brainlesS OBJ
stinacy in ,he face Of opposition there IS
no animal like the Himalayan bear. II
he finds thing in his way, he will al
ways push il aSide.-if he can,-even
though il would be easier 10 60 round the
obstacle.
The willy natives Of India have observed
that trait in his character, and from IT have
contrived trap 10 catch him. They Sc
lect a tree with a suitable horizontal
bough. Al point on the bough about
ten or twelve feet from the fork they faS-
ten bait likely to attract the bear-honey,
for example, or goats flesh. Then from
another bough above that one they sus-
pend q heavy block Of stone. The rope
is so attached TO the upper bough that the
stone hangs between the bait and the fork
OF the tree.
The bear scents the bait from distance.
comes TO the tree, sees the food on the
bough, and climbs up the trunk OF the
tree. Reaching the bough, he walks
along il TO get al the bait. But suddenly
he notices the obstacle in his way, and
pushes il aside with his paw. The stone
swings out of the way for a second ;
then it swings back and hits the bear on
the paw. With growl OF irritation, the
bear pushes it aside more violently.
The stone swings away again then II
returns with greater force, and hits the
bear on the chest.
With snarl Of rage the bear gives the
stone a tremendous thrust, and sends II
up into the air in wide curve. Then
down comes the stone in similar curve,
and hits the bear humping whack on
the ribs.
Most animals would deSist after thar
third blow; not so the bear. He is now
in perfectly mad rage and bear is a
good boxer He hits out with his paws,
right and left, and sends the stone hurt
ling forward in still wider curve. Then,
after a few seconds, the stone comes
back and hits the bear a terrific "upper-
cut" on the jaw.
The bear IS reused TO white-hot fury.
He thinks an enemy is hiding behind The
stone.-aS an enemy might do in The jun-
gle,-and he is determined TO reach that
enemy.
But alas the bear never went TO school
and learned the law Of gravity. Every
blow he hits the stone iSreturned tenfold.
And as the stone has no brains 10 be
knocked out, il is N bear that gets knock
ed out at last. He viii never, never give
in until he is knocked out-out OF the tree.
Then the willy natives hiding below
rush in with a net, and throw il quickly
over him.
And that is how Bronx Park or any
other 200" or menagerie gets IFS Him
alayan bear.

phant whined and cried and gave uumis-
taxable evidences of its grief. And a
curious after event is reported. Years
afterward circus again came to town,
with an elephant sUberly marching along
the Kearneysville pike with the wagons
and other circus impedimenta. AS il
turned into Main street at the ByerS cor
ner the elephant raised ifs trunk into the
air, broke into numbering run and dashed
down The street TO the circus LOT, boiled
through the gate, ran on the place where
IFS mother had been buried, and rolled
over and over on the grave. giving vent
10 groanS that showed how we'll II re-
membered the death of its mother. This
incident happened somewhere between
seventy-five and hundred years ago,
according TO the best information we can
gather-Mrs. Harrington says that it oc-
cured before she was born, the story
being told her by her father-and just last
week il was confirmed in part by the
discovery OF the bones OF the long-buried
elephant. Observer had been told that
The elephant had been buried on the lot
on which stands the residence OF The
editor OF the Register, but il proved TO be
a hundred feet TO the east. In the yard
OF the dwelling owned for many years by
TIE late Henry M. Loyns, recently pur-
chased by George F. Turner from Ed
ward L. Reinhart, and at present occu-
pied by Prof. A. D. Kenamond, workmen
started last week 10 dig cistern. About
three feet from the surface they dug into
one end OF the pit in which the elephant
had been buried, and uncovered some OF
its bones. The unusual size ofthe bones
puzzled them for time, but some one
recalled the story of the elephant-and
the mystery was solved. The entire
skeleton is undoubtedly there, though it
was not all uncovered, as il was to one
side of the excavation for the cisten.
The Register museum has two OF the
large leg bones as unquestioned evidence
OF story that has long been told, but
which was often regarded with doubt by
the present generation. Although buried
for almoSt,a hundred years, the bones are
still in good state OF ofpreservation. The
finding OF the bones has brought to light
some interesting stories. Harvey h.
Pendleton says that the elephants teeth
were taken out before il was buried, and
one of them afterward came into posses
sion OF his grandmother, Mrs. Margaret
White, who gave il TO the late DR.. John
Reynolds. 1t is also said that the ele-
phant was skinned and its hide was tan
ned in Lines lanyard, some three or four
years being required for the process.
Are there any other contributions TO
this most interesting story2 lfthere are,
let Observer know about them and he
will give them to the readers of the Reg
lister.

Some Hints On Farming.

Editor Register-The Lancaster county
Pa farm expert advises his farmers
to mix one gallon OF alsike and one gallon
OF alfalfa clover seed with each buShel OF
red clover seed sowu this spring, and
thus have three chances OF clover SET
on the land. As there are 5, ZOO, 900 clover
seed in one pound, this would give ten
seed TO every square foot ofland, sowing
one bushel TO every ten acres.
Our farmers have no trouble TO getseed
corn to germinate when planted after May
10th, so if they drop three grains in bill,
that back breaking job OF thinning corn
could be lessened. The Ohio BOYS corn
club champion plowed 3 IL feet between
rows and 2 feet apart in row, with three
grains to hill, and raised 100 bushels OF
corn 10 the acre. He put 600 pounds OF
fertilizer on an acre and plowed the corn
four times. He got the prize.
Lancaster City has put up big sign at
the railroad station, "The Garden Spot OF
the Earth" The people Of Lancaster
county have the best plans OF farming
down fine. Wheat, corn, tobacco and
cattle. All corn and hay fed TO cattle on
farm. and cover p acres year with
strong manure.
