CoN Dewi. Bellefonte, Pa., March 27, 1908. 7 Never a One Day President. The periodic assertion is made that #0 Sunday, March 4, 1849, Senator Da- vid Rice Atchison of Missouri. who wes then president pro tem. of the senate, was president of the United States “virtually.” He never was, “virtually” or otherwise. In 1793 congress enacted that in event of no president or vice president being ready to succeed the first office should devolve on the president of the senate and next on to the speaker of the house. The succession was changed in 1886 Now, Zachary Tay- lor and Millard Fillmore were in Wash- ington on March 4, 1849. It'being Sun. day, they permitted an interregnum to follow until the next day. Mr. Atchi- son took no oath as president, and without taking such he could not ex- ercise the office. Mr. Taylor could have taken the oath at any second subsequent to noon on March 4. No pompous Inauguration is demanded. The chief justice need not administer the oath. Arthur took it in New York before Judge Brady at 2 a. m. and Mr. Roosevelt in Buffalo before United States Judge Hazel. The “virtually” of Mr. Atchison Is visionary unless by some bolt from the blue the elected officials had been re- moved.— Pittsburg Post. Glory Everywhere. A Methodist minister was much an- noyed by one of his hearers frequently shouting out during the preaching. “Glory!” “Praise the Lord!" and the like. Though often reproved. the hap- pr member persisted In expressing himself. One day the minister invited him to tea and, to take his mind from thoughts of praise, handed him a sci- entific book, full of dry facts and fig- ures, to pass the time before tea. Presently the minister was startled by a sudden outburst of “Glory!” “Halleluiah!” and “Praise the Lord!" “What is the matter, man?’ asked the minister. “Why, this book says the sea Is five miles deep?” “Well, what of that?” “Why. the Bible says my sins have been cast into the depths of the sea, and if it is that deep I need not be afraid of thelr ever coming up again. Glory!" The minister gave up hopes of re- forming him. A Daring Escape. The annals of Sing Sing are full of daring escapes. A typical case was that of Paliister and Rohlf, two con- victed murderers, By frequent appeals they had headed off the day of their execution, and at length decided ou escape at any cost—even that of life itself. Late one night Paliister called for a drink of milk, and as the officiai on duty opened the cell door to give it him he was seized, dragged in and overpowered. The desperando then locked the officer in the cell and, afrer securing his keys, released his com rade Rohlf. when they in turn over came and disarmed the second night watchman. This done, they offered re- lease to three more prisoners with whom they had made friends. These declined the doubtful benefit, however. whereupon the two murderers climbed the skylight, reached the boundary wall and dropped to liberty by the broad Hudson, which they crossed in a small boat.— New York Tribune. Up Two Stumps. Little Johnny was in the habit of wanting more victuals put upon his plate than he conld eat. His papa de- cided to break him of the habit. One day as Johnny insisted upon being served until his plate was well filled his papa said, “Johnny. if I give you this you will have to eat every bit of it or I will punish you.” Johnny prom- fsed that he would, and bravely did the little fellow try to do so, but in vain. It was too much for him. He would try again and again and then look sorrowfully at his papa. Finally, laying down his fork. he sald: “Papa, If you was me which wouid you rather do, get a licking or bust?” Our Language. An Intelligent foreigner is said to have expressed himself after the foi- lowing fashion on the absurdities of the English language: “When | dis- covered that 1 was quick, 1 was fast; if 1 stood firm, 1 was fast; if 1 spent too freely, I was fast, and that not to eat was to fast, 1 was discouraged. But when 1 came across the sentence, “The first one won on $1 prize,’ 1 was tempted to give up English and learn some other language.” A Little of Everything. “The weather used to be in four acts —spring, summer, autumn and win- ter.” “Well? “But now nature seems to have gone into vaudeville.” — Louisville Courler- Journal. Live Furs. “yMamma, look!” exclaimed Mary. “Those furs are just like mine.” “Why, Mary. you have no furs,” re- plied the astonished mother. “Yes, 1 have,” said Mary, “and they are filled with kittens.”—School Educa- tion. A Pleasant Change. “So you enjoyed Venice?” sald the traveler. “Yes,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “It was kind of pleasant, for a change, to be robbed by a gondolier instead of a hack driver.”—Washington Star.

Everybody talks well when he talks in the way he likes, the way he can't help. the way be never thinks of. The rest is effort and pretense. The man who says “trousers” because he likes to say it and the man who says “pants” becanse he likes to say it are both good fellows with whom a frank soul | could fraternize, but the man who says “trousers” when he wants to say “pants” is a craven and a truckler, equally hateful to honest culture and wholesome ignorance. He belongs In the same sordid category with the man who wears tight shoes and high col- lars that are a torment to the flesh, who eats olives that he doesn’t relish and drinks uncongenial clarets in imi tation of his genteel neighbor In the brownstone front.—Atlantic. The Trapdoor Spider. One of the most singular specimens of Insect life is the trapdoor spider of Jamaica. His burrow is lined with silk and closed by a trapdoor with a hinge. The door exactly fits the en- trance to the burrow and when closed go precisely corresponds with the sur- rounding earth that it can hardly be distinguished even when its position Is known. It is a strange sight to see the earth open, a little lid raise, some hairy legs protrude and gradually the whole form of the spider show itself. These spiders generally hunt for food by night. and in the daytime they are very chary of opening the door of their domicile, and If the trap be raised from the outside, they run to the spot, hitch the claws of their forefeet in the lining of the burrow and so resist with all their might. The strength of the spider §s wonderfully great in proportion to its size. He Could Run Putty. A laborer in search of work was asked by a builder to whom he ap- plied if he could run putty. He replied that he could and was told to Le at the works at 6 o'clock next morning. He arrived at the time stated. and when asked If he were ready stripped off his overcoat and dis- closed himself to the astonished build- er clad in running costume and pumps “What are you going to do in those things?" inquired the employer. “Run utty,” answered the man. “But 1 want you to run it down into this hole,” said the builder. “01 don't care if It Is down a drain” replied the man. “Throt him out, and orn run him.”—London Telegraph.

In November, 1906, the people of Penn- sylvavia spoke almoss as a unit demanding a maximum passenger rate of two cents a mile. After baving the advantage of the rate from Oot. 1st, 1907, to Feb. 1st, 1908, it was arbitrarily taken from us and she old rate of two and one balf cents per mile restored, for the reason shat four of our Supreme court j de- clared shat the constitution forb our making any such law. Now the power that makes copstitutions should certainly have power to change or amend them and 1 think we should demand of vur would-be Legislators a pledge, thas if elected, shey will use their influence to have the ma- chinery of legislation started in the direc sion of baving an amendment made to the constitution 10 such plain langvage as will leave no ground on which the four Judges referred to can stand. The Pennsylvania R. R. Co., recently published their report that the rate per mile for 1907 averaged only 1.918 cents. Now where does this rebating and diserim- ination come in? For pine months of 1907 I paid two avd one balf cents per mile. I am informed shat what is known as commuters tickew are issued from points within a certain dis- tance of Philadelphia are issned as low as seven-tenth cents per mile. While I grant that the railroad company has a right to do that, if it pleases, but 1 object that it has no right to use this low rate as a means of making an average on which to go be- fore the courts and declare that a two-cent rate would be confiscatory. Mileage books at two cents per mile and commuters tiok- ets at seven-tenth cente per mile 1s rebat- ing, pure and simple, when I am compell- ed to pay two and one-balf cents per mile. It is a8 much 80 as to have a rate of 18ots. per 100 Ibs. on oil from Whiting. Indiana, to East St. Louis for the public and a rate of 16 ots. between the same points for the Standard Oil Co. For this latter offense our courts imposed a fine of $29,000,000 on the Standard while the penalty for the Railroad is still pending. A railroad is a public franchise, holding the great right of eminent domain, a righs enjoved hy no individoal or manufacsur- ing corporation. They all seem to miscon- stroe the meaning of - public brauchise. | Take, for illustration, a common postage stamp. If I buy one I pay 2 ots. for it. If the Peunsylvania railioad company boys a million it pavs 2 ote. lor each one of there. The Hobo aud our President pay the same. All are satisfied. Now this kind of treatment is what I construe as the true meaning of a public franchise. We the people of Pennsylvania have de. manded a maximum rate of 2 ots. per mile and we are not going to be deprived of it, even if it goes to the extent of government joors SARSAPARILLA THE ONE SPRING MEDICINE Fo —A—— p—— ownership.
