the young mans frenZied clutch from
the carriage and, holding his hands in
hers, talked to him in such a way that
he gradually relaxed. 1t was she who
helped him out and then supported him
into the house. 1t was she who got
him upstairs and into bed, and it was
she who finally stilled his babble.
''The poor man is burning up with
fever" she told the others, .and fevers

Mrs. Strange turned on him angrily,
"YOu get out of my way and mind your

With sniff of indignation she pushed
past the interloper.
But Blaze was waiting for her when
she returned a few moments later with
bowls and bottles and various rene

summoned sufficient courage to block

offensive old busybody.

Nice Gift to County.

AS proof of the desire of the
State Agricultural Department to
return to the taxpayers full value
for the maintenance of the
Farmers School" at State Col
legs, an expert butter maker has
been sent to McConnellsburg by
the College at no expense what
ever to the County or to any in
dividuals of the County. He will
operate at the Cooperative
Creamery in the southern part of
town, instructing farmers in the
care of milk and butter from the
time of milking until the finished
product is sold, and stay until
such time as local man may be
taught to handle the business.
An Ayr township farmer said to
a NEWS reporter yesterday, IT'S
right along the line of co-opera-
ton that your paper has been
preaching for years. The State
pays this man a large salary and
all his expenses surely a nice
gift to Fulton county.

FarmeretteS.

The English language is con-
stantly being enriched by new
and useful words and phrases
that originate in new conditions
as found in progressive communi-
ties. One of the words that
should find place in our vocabu-
laries is "farmerette," in honor
of the many ladies who are farm
ing their back yards and vacant
lots in an efficient manner this
summer. Strictly speaking,
'farmerette' means little farm
er," and the new word may be
used to signify a person who
farms small acreage, or, it
may convey the idea that the
farmer is of small stature. How
ever, the suffix "ette" is, by
common consent, the rightful
property of the sex to whom we
apply the term "suffragette, "
and to them we cheerfully sur
render all claims.

A Japanese Custom.

Among the high born Japanese
there is a custom which causes
them to take the veil of a bride
when she lays it aside upon her
marriage day; 10 fold it careful
ly, to lay it tenderly away in a
box of sandal or camphor wood;
to keep it until the bride who
wore it ceases to live, when it is
brought forth and wrapped
around the face of the dead.
And the belief which is taught
that if the bride, as she matured
into womanhood and motherhood,
was true to her wifely trust, be-
meath the veil the pinched and
withered and wrung face will be
restored to bridal freshness and
loveliness, and when her eyes
shall open in the Beautiful Be-
yond, they will, be filled with
their old lustre, the lips will call
back their carnation, and as
youth and purity were on the
earth, so the eternal youth will
begin. The Orient is rich in
striking symbols and this is one
of them. The meaning is that
what is beautiful and good can
not be lost. 1t means that if
men and women are true men
and women the true i'm
preston which their lives make
upon the world cannot be effaced.

Found a Book"

A few weeks ago, Ellis C.
Peck, of this place while fishing
in Ayr township noticed a small
white object sticking out of the
mud along the bank of the stream.
Picking it up and washing it, he
found it to be a piece of bone
skillfully carved into shape of a
book, about an inch in length.
On one side are some letters and
a date, and on the other side is
carved an eagle holding arrows,
&c. 1t was no doubt made by
one of our Boys in Blue" dur
ing the civil war and sent home
to his sweetheart.

SAYS TULARE HAS
BEST CAMP GROUND

Charles McKeen and family of
Bottineau, North Dakota, who
recently purchased the Chas.
Burgan place in the Oak Grove
tract near this city, will take
possession Of the property Mon
day.
Incidentally, it may be men,
toned that the Tulare free camp
ing ground for automobiles and
the spirit Of welcome which en-
anates from the local people
were important factors in the
selection of this locality for a
home-site. Mr.. McKeen states
that this city has the best camp
ing grounds of any in which they
'camped during the entire trip,
which was made overland by au-
tomobile.
There are few direct results
of the benefit to travellers of the
Tulare free camp grounds, but
that is an indirect result of Sc
curing very desirable people for
homeseekers we have abundant
evidence. The McKeen family,
consisting Of father, mother, son
and daughter, will be valuable
additions to the social and indus
trial life here and the welcome
they are receiving is sincere,
whether they are with us for a
day or fol. a lifetime.-From the
Tulare paper.

THE GARDEN OF ALLAH

The Garden of Allah will be
shown at the Grand Theatre
next Tuesday and Wednesday.
In Seligs superb photo-produc-
ton, "The Garden of Allah"
theatre-goers are treated to the
unusual combination of vital,
modern action upon dreamy age
old background.
The desert-that potent, linn
,'itless, unfathomable space of a
million secrets, some-blood curd-
ling and breathing of dark and
mysterious deeds, others whis-
pering of romance and love that
will never die-is the scene and
background of this immense
drama-and it has been most
faithfully, most wildly repro
Iduced.
The hot, burning sands of
time, that whisper secrets of a
forgotten past-the whirling
dervisheh, the head-hunters, the
terrific sand storms, the picture
sque oriental camps; the mos
ques, the oasis, the queer an
cient cities--as we'll as the great
caravans of camels, the rites, re
ligions and customs of the peo-
all living, moving reali-
ties of the master photo-play.
And yet all this costly grand.
eur may be caught only with the
corner Of the eye, as it were, for
the soul-stirring dramatic action
rivets all the direct attention.
"The Garden of Allah" will be
presented at the Grand Theatre,
two days, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, Dec. 4th and 9Th. To miss it
is to miss the acme of high class
art in this particular line.
