The funeral of Mrs. Jos. L. Herr alt McCoysburg Friday morning was atended by a large numlber of friends and relatives. One brother, Rdbert Burton, of Toledo, Ohio, was una'bfle to come on account of sickness. Dr. Ournick, of Rensselaer, preached the funeral sermon. Three closed cabs came out from Rensselaer to hauQ the immediate relatives. Kind friends and neighbors came with carriages and other ways and did everything they could to comfort the grief-stricken family, Mr. and Mrs. John Wuethrich have gone to Rockville, Conn., for a visit through the holidays with relatives.

George Johnson has been confined to'his home for several days with lumbago. •= Mrs. Grant Lutes returned home Sunday morning after a visit with ■relatives at Monon.

Besides the husband and two children she leaves to mourn her death, two brothers and one sister, Perry Burton, of Monongehda, W. Va., Robert Burton, of Toledo, Ohio, and Mrs. U. S.

Ordering The Republican For Christmas Present.

Several persons who have friends ,in distant places who formerly lived in Rensselaer or Jasper county have ordered The Republican sent to them for a Christmas present. It is not too late to do this yet and we will be glad to send the i paper on your reques. It is $1.50 per year for The Semi-Weekly Re- ; pulblican any place in he United States. To points in Canada it is $2.00 per year, the Tuesday and Friday papers being sent together to Canada. Don’t put this off, but have the year start with the issue of Friday, Dec. 25th. Walter Johnson, famous hunter of the Senators, Who recently hopped to the Federate has hopped I back again to organized ball. , Johnson was enticed to the Federate by ' an offer of $20,000 a season. W®sh- [ ington offered him $16,000, and the ■ big Kansan jumped to the outlaws. I Johnson was visited by attorneys lof the American - League and was I convinced that the reserve clause in his contract was binding and was persuaded to come back to ' the fold. Proxy Gilmore, of the Federate, has wired Johnson to come to Chicago and submit the contract to three disinterested lawyers. It te probable that Johnson will be out of the game most of the 1 coming season while hie case is being fought out in the courts in an effort to determine where the big hurler belongs. Johnson’s hop to the Feds threw a big scare into the ranks of O. B. and the success of the Feds seemed assured when they annexed such a big drawing cadr. O. B. was highly censured by the fans in allowing , a star of Johnson's caliber get away. If O. B. triumphs over the Feds in this case it will probably see the finish of the new organiaztion. Johnson receives a slight increase jn salary from the Senators. The Wabsington dub has pledged itself to stand behind Johnson in ..any legal fight that may arise. He has not returned the $6,000 advance money from the Feds yet. Lee Magee, who jumped the Cards -tor the Brooklyn Feds, has been signed for one year to manage them. Magee was ready to come back to organized ball unless given the management. The year just closed for Pursue athletics shows a balance in the treasury of $17,145. This ds slightly smaller than last year to the ex-

Weather Record For the Past Week—Coldest -17. From the college we have secured the following report of the weather for the past eight days.

(REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR A woman would rather have- a tailor one day a year than a dressmaker every week. You can tell how most people don’t .care for you by how much they tell 'you they do. Good conduct takes years to make ian impression; but when it’s bad it makes it right away. When a girl acquires the habit of liking to be in her own room for re.flection she has reached the love letter stage. An open fireplace woald be fairly comfortable for the family if the men |of the house didn’t have to sit right iln front of it and cut off all the heat. J When a girl .hates to be kissed it’s !a sign it isn't the right man. Expense meets yon at the start; you may catch Income at the finish. Being wise in business doesn’t mean a man can’t be a fool in everything else. - What makes a man so excited in lan argument is that he resolved at the sti rt not to be. Some people could figure out it was fun to swallow tacks if common folk hadn’t the means to. Maybe it is heaven because they have good cooks there. It’s bootless to preach good citizenship and it’s boresome to practice IL A man’s early ambition to be a milUonalre can simmer down in the end to a yearning for theatre passes. It’s just a man’s way to take his children to Sunday school and then hunt around the neighborhood for a side door. If a man stays out late at night he gets indignant with his wife sos ’not understanding that the reason he feels so bad the next morning is because business is poor. A widow is always willing to learn .from a man so she will need to learn more. The most comfortable pedigree to have is one that goes back to a gold < mine. When a woman isn’t losing her hair very fast it’s a sign she is sure it's growing thicker and longer. If It rained dollars in your back ; yard the bottom of it would drop out and they would all go through to China. If a woman’s bank account balances the first time she tries it l she doesn’t dare verify IL for fear it won’t again. Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum sets you crazy. Can’t bear the touch of your clothing. Doan’s Ointment is fine for skin Itching. %All druggists sell it 50c a box.

Christian Sunday School Had Record Attendance.

The Christian Sunday School had the record high mark for the year Sunday .when 260 were at the school and the collection reached $10.95. There were 52 in the women's class, 40 in the men's class and 26 in the young men’s class. An interesting contest between the classes based upon attendance, new members, visitors and collection has created much friendly rivalry. The contest ■doses next Sunday and a tie between the women’s class and the young men’s class, known as the Winn class, will be decided. The wninens are to be banqueted on qhlckCii, while the losers are to have beans as their main dish. The teachers are making it worth while to attend the school as the lessons are always interesting.
