LIVES CHIEFLY IN MEMORIES
Sleepy Little Pennsylvania Community
has But One Really Busy Sea-
son IN the Year.

Within the limits Of the city Of
Philadelphia, yet separate from the
municipality proper, is the little VIZ
lage Of Bustleton. Unlike its name,
II Is sleepy community. peopled
mostly by retired farmers.
Bustleton is replete with historic
lore. Old Bin flyers Union hotel Is
relic of the days when British and
colonial troops Overran the country.
One sleeping chamber in the ancient
Inn contains great four-poster bed
In which, so the historians Of the VIII
lage say, once slept MAD Anthony"
Wayne.
Stories Of midnight raids by Brit
ish cavalry patrols, duels fought be-
tween the young bloods Of the Quaker
city in a grove in back of the Inn. and
ghosts of colonial soldiers stalking
through the long halls Of the structure,
are told with great gusto by Bin
Tilyer. The Union hotel has been
handed down from father to son In
the Tilyer family for nearly two CEN
turtles.
But there is one time in the year
when Bustleton really bustles. That
Is In the month Of September, when
the mushroom season opens. At sun
rise dozens OF men and boys may be
seen ploddlng through the dew-laden
pasture fields, armed with buckets and
baskets, For the fertile fields in and
around Bustleton yield many bushels
Of mushrooms, which are sold at the
various markets In Philadelphia.

ABSENT VOTERS
MAY NOW VOTE
electors Who May Be Away From
Home Election Day May
Vote.

Electors who may be away from
their voting precinct on election day
may vote in the August primary this
month under the terms of the 1921

go to the circuit clerks office anC

leave the vote in a sealed envelope
with proper eertifcation, and it will
be counted along with the other bal
lots on election day.
This law will prove quite con-
venience and a book to many citizens
who find it necessary to be away
from home on election day. Hereto
fore they have been in instances of
this kind, deprived of the right to
vote, and many of them have gone to
the expense and Inconvenience of
making a special trip home to vote.
Compliance with the law is simple.
A regularly printed ballot is furnish
ed and you merely certify that you
are a qualified elector at your home
precinct, and in the presence of a
notary public or other officer quail
fiedw to administer oaths, you mark
your ballot. 1t is then put in an en-
velope and sealed and the Notary
certifies that the ballot was properly
voted and that the voter was not
solicited or advised to vote for or
against any man or measure.
If you are going to be away from
your voting precinct on August II,
the date Of the first primary or on
September Z, the date of the second
primary, you should go to Circuit
Clerk Stephenson's office and file
your vote This may be done now.

Sir Thomas Upton

Sir Thomas Upton whose yacht, the Shamrock ", is now
engaged in the spectacular and expensive effort to lift the
Americas cup, if possible, deserves the designation of dead
game sport" if ever a man deserved it. In the world of sports
and athletics games no higher distinction can be conferred upon
a participant than to call him a dead game sport" 1t is a
terse way of saying that a man is a clean sportsman from his
soul outward, and that, no matter what his fortunes may be, he
will never "squeal' or "wech" or offer an "alibi."
Sir Thomas is that kind of a sportsman, says the Salt Lake
Tribune.
The boats which Sir Thomas has sent to this side of the
ocean in times gone by have all been beaten, yet he is not dis
couraged. Indeed, there VS. an item in the news dispatches re-
Gently which told of a provision inserted in Sir Thomass will

that "some time in the future and after my death will be sufi-
GENTLY swift to win the Americas cup. A man who not only
devotes himself to a sporting proposition in his lifetime, but also
insures the carrying out of his unfinished task after his death,
is certainly entitled to be called a dead game sport"
Sir Thomas emphaticany declares that if he carries the
Americas cup home with him at all, he wants to win it in fair
competition and through no "iuke'' or by reason of mishap to
his adversary.
"If anything should happen to the Resolute," said Thomas
a few days ago, something in the way of an accident, l would

long it took. don't want the cup through accident. Legally,
/ might be entitled to it under such a serious circumstance, but
l want to win it fairly and in sporting competition. Let them
lick me or let me lick them. And l am sure they would feel the
same way if my boat should be the sufferer through a mishap.'
One who talks like that can be nothing else than a dead
game sport"

of placer mining, says the White
Pine News. Mr.. Tilford came into
Ely to appear as a witness in the
mining suit being tried in the district
court and brought a few of the mug
gets along to show the result of his
last weeks work.
There were 22 nuggets in all, one
OF them weighing nearly half a pound
in solid gold, the nugget being larger
than a hens egg and to the uninitiat-
ed looked like a fortune. Six of the
other nuggets were larger than mar
bles, while the remaining ones were
about the size that is usually seer in
necktie pins. Besides the nuggets
Mr.. Tilford had a bottle of gold dust.

CARLIN MAN KILLED
IN GOLCONDA MINE

Last Sunday Frank Tank, formerly
an engineer in the S. P. ice plant at
Carlin, was killed in the Silver Shield
mine south of Golconda, and his
working partner nearly lost his life
in attempting to get Tank out of the
bottom of the nine. The last round
of shots were fred late Saturday af-
ternoon, and Sunday morning Tank
went down into the mine to go to
work. When he failed to show up
for lunch, his partner went down into
the mine to learn the trouble. AS he
reared the bottom of the shaft he
was overcome by the bad air, and in
climbing the ladder to the top, was
overcome by the gas and fell to the
bottom of the shaft, but finally
reached the top, where he lay for six
hours before gaining sufficient
strength to go to the telephone and
help. Tank was found dead
at the bottom of the shaft and it is
believed the gas came from a leaky
acetylene pipe.
