During a lull in the barrage he came to the conclusion that somewhere else was the place for him and set off at high speed. The corporal saw him as he was on the point of entering a convenient shell hole and yelled: "What yo'-all doin' there? Come hack and take your medicine." "Doan' need no medicine," Rastus shouted back. "Ah's cured, Ah's done cured!" Music Hath Charms.

Old Stone House Is Yielding to the Elements After 192 Years. Deteriorated by the elements it has | I withstood for 192 years, the stone j house in the foothills of Exeter town-j ship, Berks county, Pa., where Daniel j Boone, the Kentucky pioneer, was; born, is slowly falling to ruin from lack of care. Until two years ago the house had been tenanted and the necessary repairs made, but now it is deserted, the cellar full of water, broken, floors decaying and the 160 acres of estate are uncared for. The farm is situated about one and a half miles from Stonesville. The lane leading to the premises is marked by a large white rock placed by the Historical Society of Berks county, on which is the inscription: "One quarter mile to the birthplace of Daniel Boone, October 22, 1733." In this connection it may be said that isome authorities give the date of his birth as 1734 and 1735, and his birthplace Berks county, Pennsylvania. According to history Boone stayed here until he was 17 years of age, when he went to Kentucky. Tradition has it that it was nearby that he kill- j ed his first bear when he was 14 years old, and he was so proud of, his achievement that he carved an inscription on a tree with his hunting knife, reading: "D. Boone killed a bear near here.The house has four rooms on the first floor, six on the second and an -o Tho oriprinpl RnnTIA dwelling aitiv. xav v* IQ.A.V.* ? ? ? ? ? ? w had two rooms on the first floor and three on the second, but an addition similar to the original in every respect was made after the family migrated. One of the original rooms contains a large fireplace made of stones and still in good condition. Here it was on the mantle piece, according to tradition, that young Boone carved a notch indicating his height when he went to Kentucky, and upon his return in middleage was interested to see how much he had grown. However, the historic notch cannot be discovered on the mantle piece. The shutters and doors of the dwelling are hung on wrought iron hinges and still are in good condition, but many of the windows are broken, "\ V flR vHBHJKSMK ^ atesga^ySy kItJBI? i i ?|* g^r- '^f J? 1923 St Again Chevrolet \ ship as producer o The 1923 SUPERIC sent the most sensa ever established.
