JACK POT CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM

Another drowning was added to
the list Of fatalities for this section
last Sunday afternoon.
The tragedy took place at the
Jack Pot reservoir, at the same place
where Mrs. Ed. Ficken met her sad
fate but four short weeks before.
Several men and boys were in the
water at the place, but quite widely
scattered. Among those in the wat
er was Daniel Grove, a lad OF about
fifteen years. He was able to swim
some. but when out in deep water
he attempted to touch bottom and
when he found that he could not do

for help. John Weiland was sitting
In a buggy near and being an ex-
pert swimmer he plunged into the
water to rescue the boy. Mr.. Wei

and had been In poor health, subject
to attacks similar to fits, perhaps
due to a bad heart The supposition
is that the excitement brought on
one OF these fits, and when he got to
young Grove, both began to sink
About this time H. B. Taylor, Who
had been on the other side Of the
water hole. had reached them by
swimming vigorously across the pond
but his exertion had nearly exhaust

had to come out on the shore and
rest, watching In the mean time for
Weiland to rise, but he failed % do
so.
Taylor soon commenced to dive to
try and locate the missing man, but
was unsuccessful In doing SO.
It was not until nearly nine
o'clock in the evening that the body
was finally located, by means Of a
long pole with hook on the end of
It, in about fourteen foot OF w.sr.
As the body had been In the water
five or six hours, life had long heen
gone before the body was recovered.

WITH THE NATURE LOVERS

Spring that came so suddenly is
fading into early summer and with it
goes that brief period unqueStion-
ably the most beautiful of the year.
Wild flowers are plentiful in the re-
naming bits of woodland about Lam
caster and not much harm can result
from picking them. CATERERS should
be careful not to destroy the plant
when picking the flower Another
thing-dOn't pick more flowers than
you need. In some places the wild
flowers are protected by legislation
so ruthless have been the pickers.
Apple blossoms, wild crab bios

1ungi from two to four inches long

1t has no umbrella and the type can
not be mistaken. Properly prepared
the Morel has a flavor of startling
qualities. In picking Morels do not
pull them up-cut them off near the
root. In pulling them out, some au-
thorlties claim, the plant is DESTROY

The decision of Mrs. Knox and Mrs.
johnson to receive together at the
formers home grew out of the fact
that Senator and Mrs. Johnson are liv-
ing in the country-they have a lovely
old place not far from Laurel. a place
quite beyond the bounds of the call
ing zone" And their joint reception
was one of the most delightful func
tions imaginable. Senator and Mrs
Knox have a very handsome house ir
X street, you know, and it was quite
literally abloom with flowers. Ameri-
can Beauties We're used everywhere
and on the tea table there was n huge
PLAGUE OF the loveliest yellow orchids
imaginable.
The Vice President and Mrs
Marshall headed the list of those
who called during the afternoon; and.
OF course the Senate was out in
force. with it's womenfolk. not for
getting many other officials and a
goodly company of diplomats. The
prettiest incident of the afternoon
occurred when Mrs. Taft arrived.
Mrs. Knox, whose husband was Sec
retary of State while Mr.. Taft was
President. greeted the former First
Lady with great cordiality and every
