Bellefonte, Pa., June 5, 1908. A SIMPLE PHILOSOPHER. bo This world ain't half the gloomy place thet folks say it is, - . . * * Thert's heap more daye of sunshine than there ever is of rain, ; Av I have my doubts about the joy bein’ lesser than tha pain, Al's ensy, pretty easy, to take Sorrow fer yer wife, : Bit, bless my stars, [,d rather be jes’ good in love with life! Don’t tell me thet yer tronbles come, an’ like- wise all yer tears, Without yér runnin’ after them somewhat, fer it appears That what you want In this here worid yer preity apt to get;" Yer joys don't come, I potice, if yer jus’ stay home an’ set! Ther'e too much trottin’ after pain an’ runnin’ after strife; Let's chase the sunshine an’ the joy—let's fall in love with life! \ LET'S JUST BE GLAD, Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't Worry so! What we've missed of calm we couldn't Have, you know! What we've met of stormy pain We can better meet again, If it blow, For we know not every morrow Can be sad; Bo forgetting all the sorrow / We have had, Let us fold away our fears, And through all the boming years Just be glad. THE GREAT FIND. as He might have posed in ‘a tableau of misery when Tom Barton first saw him. His face was swollen from the bites of mos- guitoes, his wrists and bands were soratoh- ed by many encounters with almoss im sable brush, and in his eyes was the des. |®nd Jemion that comes with huoger and de- t. Without comment, the old r bad taken him under his wing—bad shown him how to cook, and how to live with very little between himeelf and the wiid country around, bow to pack his horse,and, moss im $ of all, how to look for mioeral ‘‘signs.” It wae this last item that finally brought a question to the old man’s lips—for a long time he had been thinking of it, twisting the question this way that with the leisurely shorough- mess of one who had not looked n a Stock or a calendar for many years. Finally spoke. “How in sin did you think you could come out in the brush and find something without knowing what you was looking for?"’ he demanded. *‘Didn’t you sup- Jose shere might be something for you to : , before you jumped intoa business like this 2’ The youth across the fire glanced at the old man, and from him into the shadow of the forest; here his eyes lingered and he seemed to be conjuring up some picture that would help him with his on, “I don’s koow that you'll understand. even if I tell you,” be said. ‘No, you won't, it was a fool thing to do,and I was a fool to think I could make it work.

A voluble negro who was discovered pacing a fast heat across the Tenth street viaduct the other night explain- ed his haste to the policeman who ar- rested him. He explained that he had been to a swell dance and had paid the sum of $2.50 for the rent of the startlingly correct attire in which he was clad. During the progress of the dance 2 short yellow man bad repeatedly bump- ed against him in a most offensive manner. He related the story with dignity and unction. " “Thish yere yellow nigger, he kep’ f-bumpin’ inter me till 1 ses to him, I ses, ‘I'll see you after this dance out- side,’ 1 ses to him. ' “He ses, ‘Very well, suh; I'll see you after this dance.’ “1 didn’t like the looks of him no- how, and when we gits outside he pulls a big razzer, and he ses, ‘I'll ca’ve you." he ses, jes’ that er-way. “1 thinks of that sult I pays $2.50 fer, and I gethers up all the rabbit they is in me, and I starts to runnin’, and I runs fast. | runs like a jack rabbit ontell 1 gits to the vi’duc’, and a big police he hollers to me: ‘ “‘Hey. there, ' he hollers. ‘Whar you-all gwine so fas'? “‘I's jis’ a-runnin’ to ketch a cyar,’ 1 hollers back.

Some of these contrivances are very costly and in- genious. There's a water dropper which works by clockwork that costs $500. There's a— But that’s too terri- ble to talk about. The Chinese instru- ments, by the way, are a million times crueler than the Siamese.”—New York Press, ‘ Sanson and Lowvis XVI, Three letters written by Sanson, the executioner of the “terror,” are printed in the Paris Gaulois. One of the most interesting of them is short enough to be quoted in full: “Citizen—I have just learnt that the rumour is current that I am selling or causing to be sold locks of the hair of Louis Capet. If any have in fact been sold, this abominable trade can only have been carried on by impostors. The truth is that I have uot allowed any one in my house to carry away even the smallest relic.” Sanson, it appears, had in his private capacity much sympathy with the king whose head it was his duty in his professional capacity to cut off. In a er letter he attributes the courage with which he met his death to the firmness of his religious principles, and when he himself died in 1808 he bequeathed money to pay for masses for his victim’s soul. i Evolution. } the days when the higher educa- tion of women provoked more discus- sion than it does at the present time a In
