The Library of the Lock Haven State Normal School is well Se lected, accurately catalogued and the hooks are easily accessible. The library rooms are said to be handsomer than those of any other school library in the state. The re markable sueeess of the schools de bating team in the inter-Normal debates is due.in a large measure, to the library. Write for the school's handsome catalog. The work of the Lock Haven State Normal School is, primarily, to prepare teachers for the public schools. In this work it has been eminently successful. Its grad uates today are college proffessors, Normal school teachers, County superintendents, high school and grade teachers. It also maintains a 001 lege preparatory department and department of Music, Art and Business. The fall term opens September (it'll. Send for illustra ted catalog. Wheeler's circus lias come and gone, leaving behind the remem brance of a great time to the average youth. Most people have seen better shows and we are positive quite a number of Laportians very recently witnessed an exhibition of much poorer quality, and paid nearly as much for it. Looked at squarely it was a pretty good all around two-ring circus containing the full variety from the camel to the peanut boy. One thing how ever was a trilie disappointing: The aeroplane instead of ascending as was promised, made its debut from the top of the tent to terra-firma where it was laid to rest until its hair raising manoeuvre in the next town. UaPorte 12; Ikrnice 5. A game of base ball was played between Laporte and Ik-mice on Friday which' resulted in the above score. The five scores of the visiting team were due to a little aerial trip taken by the home toys. Otherwise the game was a inoothly administered defeat. About Political Bosses. An army without a general to plan the campaign and direct its movements so that its members will work in unison with one ac cord lo achieve a common purpose, would he 110 better than an armed lnoh, and accomplish nothing hut defeat. A political party without leaders would bo as ineffective as an army without a general. There is an unreasonable preju dice against the word "boss' as applied in politics. In order to be effective where a considerable num ber of persons must work together harmoniously in any kind of busi ness. whether in mine, workshop, mill or factory, one of them wheth er he be called foreman, director, overseer or proprietor, must of ne cessitv be the" "boss." Even the animals and insects have their leaders. Leaders of men are born and not created l>y education, wealth or ac cident, The man with superioi natural abilities for the successful management of public affairs, po litical questions and party interests will sooner or later become, by common consent, a party leader and it is 110 disparagement of his usefulness to call him a "boss". The editor of the "Review ol Reviews" has injured the Republi can party in Pennsylvania by rep resenting Senator Penrose as a greater boss than even the late M. S. Quay. ITo says: "Mr.-Penrose has become more masterful as the manager of the Philadelphia and state Republican Organizations than was his former political pre ceptor. .Matthew Stanley Quay. This year's State Republican Con vention was Mr. Penrose's very own. The convention was in ses sion only a little more than one hour. Mr. Penrose had arranged everything and his program halted at no point. Nothing more per fect in a mechanical way has ever been seen in our politics." That Harrisburg convention was composed of several hundred dele gates coining directly from the peo ple in the counties, and in every instance they wore intelligent, practical men and not fools. Does any man believe that Senator Pen rose could have run that convention in any other way than in accord ance with t lie views and wishes of the delegates? If the Senator wrote the platform (as the editor alleges) it was because the conven tion knew he was the most capable person to do it. It was adopted unanimously because every mem ber believed it to lie true as Holy Writ, and that it expressed their views exact ly. After criticising Senator Penrose for writing it himself the editor is honest enough to say of the plat form: "It is fairly true too." He might as well blame Washington for leading the American armies in the Revolutionary war, or Grant the Union armies in the ciivl war, as Senator Penrose for leading the Republican party in Pennsylvania. 0 You Married Man ! ! To prove that they are yet super ior to the boys in the art of base ball. the married men 011 Saturday coaxed them to the athletic Held and in a way that distinguishes the head of the house applied a sound trouncing. The boys however hit back quite hard and the interesting game ended with the score f1 to 1. Properly speaking the game should be called: the "younger set" versus the married men and the "would lies", the latter team hav ing the assistance of that celebrated Jersey battery. Following are the names of the players: Married, etc.: S. Pen nock, K. Carpenter, Cheney, C. Pennock, Frey. Wrede. Uertolet, Jlassen, Ingham. Single: Swartz, (J. Car penter, McMann. VanDyke, Guest, Rosenberg, Minniger, Lawrenson, 11. Carpenter. The game was full of features one of the best of which was the stealing of bases by Hnsson. E. P. Ingham umpired the game. A merry straw load from Eagles mere came to this place Wednes day evening. TIIK Y(>rN(i MAN FROM \VYOMIn<J. (Continued fioin page 'J.) away. "The soldiers were mustered; the drums were beating and the fifes playing, and the banner flying, as my father at the head of a company marched away. I could not restrain my sobs, and I found mother was keeping me company as she hugged me to her bosom. We returned sadly to what now seemed our lonely home. "Mother had to hire a man to help do the work on the farm. We called him a 'hired man,' but he could not do half a man's work, and his compensation was but little more than his board, lie was quite an old man, and had been so afflicted with rheumatism that one arm was stiff. I do not think it would have been possible to find an able-bodied young man that could have been hired for farm labor, so closely had the recruiting officers searched for soldieys. "Letters came occasionally from father, which mother eagerly read, first to herself and then to 'Cretia and me aloud. There was a great deal about long marches and poor rations, and scanty clothing and slow pay; and once in awhile he would write about a battle in which the 'red-coats,' as he called them, got the worst of it. He often wrote to mother to keep good courage, 'for the Yankees will beat the , I'rjtish in the end.' " 'Cretia, being a couple of year solder than I was, and a smart, active lass helped mother a great deal, and could even plant corn and rake hay. She often sent for Mattie Orrison to come and work with her in the field or in the garden, and would return the favor by helping .Mattie when called upon. Thev called it 'changing works.' Mattie's given name was Martha. Her mother was a widow, generally called 'Widow ()rrison,' and resided on a farm adjoining ours. (To be continued.) AW UAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF LA PORTE BORO.

SHOPBELL DRY GOODS CO., 313 PINE STREET, WILLIAMSPORT - PENN'A. [ShortTalks On Advertising | By Charles Austin Bates. No. 13. Economy often defeats its own ends. Sometimes economy is extravagant. Sometimes not spending is more expensive than spending. So in advertising. That is an economical expense. I call it an expense to avoid argument. In reality it is an investment. In a ten-dollar advertisement the last two dollars pay better than the other eight. Maybe an eight-dollar ad. wouldn't pay when a ten-dollar ad. would. Maybe that extra space is just what the ad. needs to lift it out of oblivion—to make it promi nent —to make it pay. ootfT our Don't buy more space than yon Moac Atyce , need, but don't buy too little, either. .THAN YOU MCCD. T Better buy too much than too little. I Better put an eight-dollar ad. in a ten dollar space than to put a ten-dollar ad. in an eight-dollar space. One way you are out only two dollars; the other way you are out eight dollars. Save money on your advertising if you can, of course, but save it in the right way. Cut of! the little leaks—the programs, the bills of fare, the directories, the wall charts, the pages in "souvenirs." Cut them all off, and your trade will never feel the difference. Cut off the inconsequential papers if you have to, but always keep your ad. in your best papers, big enough to'do you justice. It is better to convince a few people than to talk to many. You will always find that the best papers give you more for your money than any other media. high-priced because the rate another one low-priced be- V cause it is ten cents an inch.
