Death of Henry MaTkle

From the Clearfield, Pa, Pub.
lie Spirit: Henry II. Markle, a
most highly respected and widely
known pioneer citizen of the
Third Ward of this city, passed
away at his home on West Front
st. n Monday, January 18th,
1920, at one o'clock, aged about
81 years. His health had been
more or less impaired for ten
years but had been growing grad
ually worse until about four years
ago when he retired from active
life.
He had removed here from
York County, which was the par
ent home, a half century ago,
and was one Of the very first if
not the first TO erect his home on
"the other side Of the river, "
thus starting West Clarified,
now known as Third Ward. He
was a master carpenter and build
er and was associated with an
other master carpenter COntraC.
tor and builder, the late Samuel
Scbenck, in the firm of Markle
and Schenck in, which firm the
community had implicit confid-
ence, which fact is attested by
the fine homes in Clearfield and
50 well and substantially built
by them. For a great many years
Mr.. Markle was an expert pat.
tern maker in the Clcarficld
Machine Shops, where he was
much consulted and where he
held the utmost confidence of
his employers and fellow.wor
men.
All his life Mr.. Markle took
an active and patriotic interest
in public affairs. In national
politics he was an unswerving
democrat, and most intelligently
informed always upon the issues
of the day. Few men could cope
with him in their discussion.
and upon the great question of

tariff schedules or their effect

In the various positions when
he was elected he was always

tious. Never seeking office but
never Sinking duty when the
office sought him. He was all
his years from early manhood a
consistent Christian man who
took an active and influential
part in the church of his choice
namely, the Lutheran church,
and it is said of him that he was
thoroughly posted on church his.
tory and discipline and carried
out in his own life heroically and
proudly before the world, the
sublime teachings Of the Master.
No word of praise given this
good man could be called fulsome
no word tribute could do his noble
life and character full credit as
the flowers and affections of
loved ones bid farewell to him,
and thus ends beautifully the
chapt ter of his life as il should
be ended. His example and in.
fluence however will live on far
beyond the life limit of those
who now pay him last and loving
tribute.
He is survived by two daugh.

HIDDEN GREEK" by Katherine NewIin Burt. In Hidden Creek" Mrs. Burt has more than fulfilled the expec- tations aroused by her first novel, The Branding Iron," one of the outstanding
 fiction successes of 1919. Sheila Arun-
 del, the heroine, goes west to work in
 little hotel, where she becomes a sort
 of good angel' to the lawless charac-
 ters there and particularly to her pat
 ron's drunken son. Following a brutal declaration of love from her employer,
 sine flees to the mountains and from then on events move steadily from thrill to thrill to a powerful and a dramatic climax and to a final happy ending.
 Hidden Creek is one of those rare novels that even if published anony- mously and without publicity wodld in- evitably find it's way to popularity. To people real as real life, to adventures rapid and thrilling as can be found in the most popular western romances, to a style of amazing vigor and brilliancy, is added a literary art that moulds from these qualities a novel at once readable distinguished, and absorbing, novel that will be finished in a single evening and closed with sense of actual par ticipation in a great human drama of love and redemption.

 We understand that the Glendale merchants are standing behind the Glendale team with an offer to increase the prize $200 providing they bring home the bacon. Well our captain says he hates to cause the Glendale team to lose but Phoenix is going to have that prize if possible.
 There was admitted to membership part of a class of 50 young men former ly of the juvenile department.
