Bellefonte, Pa., September i7, 1909.
He Dodged Coid Mutton.
Green, the English historian, one
day asked a friend which of all the
inventions of their day had done the
most for the people as a whole. His
friend guessed this and that, but the
answer was:
“Beyond doubt, sixpenny photo-
graphs.”
A reply Involving quite as great an
absurdity as that was made by Cecil
Rhodes in answer to a lady who.
seeking to draw him out, suggested
that he owed his phenomenal rise to
the impetus of noble sentiments.
“Madam,” returned Mr. Rhodes, “1
owe my fortune simply and solely to
cold mutton.”
“Cold mutton!” gasped the lady.
“Oh, Mr. Rbodes, what do you mean?”
“When 1 was young.” continued the
South African millionaire, “1 was so
dosed with cold mutton and I bated it
so cordially that I resolved to grow
rich in order to put it on one side for
the rest of my life. Yes, madam, cold
mutton was at the root of my success.
Noble sentiments had nothing to do
with it.”
Preparing For a “Dewel.”
One of the most remarkable docu-
ments that have ever come under our
observation, says a law journal, is to
be found in the case of ex parte Scog-
gin, 6 Tex. App., 546. Mr. Scoggin was
under indictment for the murder of
one William Gerrard, and an extract
from a memorandum book in defend-
ant’s handwriting and found near the
body ran as follows:
Johnson Co., Tx., Jan. 24, 187.
As it may bee the last penciling that 1
may ever do on earth May heven Bless
me and the man that I am going to fite,
for we have been traviing to geather
some time and have fell out a bought the
sum of $25 and have agreed to fight a
dewel this Butiful night of our lord, and !
as one of us has to die May heven bless |
us, as this is the last half hour on earth
with one of us, heven Preserve me now
and forever Written by Jesse Scog—.
Bornd and rased in Tx. Sined by William
Jirod, Bornd in Illinois.
Mr. Scozgin’s plety
for his adversary when found appear-
ed to have been struck behind the ear |
by a thirteen inch shell.
A Substitute.
The young lawyer, having been nom-
inated for the office of county attor-
ney, thought to surprise an eccentric
genius of the name of Si who was
working as a hired man on the young |
lawyer's father's farm.
“Well, 8i. what do you think?’ the
young man began.
“Sometimes one thing, Lonny, an’
sometimes nother.”
“But, Si, they have nominated me
for county attorney.”
“They might 'a’ done worse, Lonny.
Howsomever, don't holler till you're
out of the woods.”
The young attorney was duly elect-
ed and on his next visit to the farm
announced the fact unctuously to Si.
who was at the wood pile, saw in hand.
“Well, 8i, I am elected by a large
majority. What do you think of that?"
“Well, Lonny, down in our parts,
where I was raised. when we wanted
a stopper an’ hadn't any cork we gen-
erally took a corncob.”—Exchange.
Practicing on Wooden Legs.
Of the five cases in the accident
ward that were pronounced cured at
the same time three remained in the
hospital more than a week after the
other two had gone home.
“They had to stay,” said an interne,
“to get used to their wooden legs. It
takes some time to learn to manage
them, and most men who will have to
peg along with them for the rest of
their natural hives stay in the hospital
several days after they get well to
practice stumping around on their new
legs. Of course they can learn out-
side, but the man who has just ac-
quired a wooden leg feels so awkward
and is so likely to fall down and break
the other leg or an arm or maybe his
neck that we prefer to keep him here
so he can take his first lessons under
our supervision.”—New York Press.
Thousand Islands.
The Lake of the Thousand Islands is
forty miles long and varies from four
to seven miles in width. It is both a
continuation of Lake Ontario and the
beginning of the St. Lawrence river.
The Thousand islands are really about
1,700 in number, big and little. Many
of them are favorite summer resorts,
with hotels and boarding houses of
rich Americans and Canadians. The
voyage through them is picturesque,
and many of the islands are illumi-
nated at night,
Who Voted?
Benjamin Franklin once discussed
the property qualification for voting
in Pennsylvania. A man owned a don-
key of sufficient value to enable him
to vote, but before the next election
the donkey died, and the man's vote
was refused. “Now,” asked Franklin,
“who voted at the previous election,
the man or the donkey?”

More In His Line,
“De you think I will make a play-

football.
“You may make a chess player,”
said the coach. “You are slow enough
in moving.”

THE DAY-STAR.
For vue Warcumax.
The DayStar is shialog
O'er hill and O'er valley,
And patare appeareth
In gorgeous array ;
Creation now voices
Her fervent obiation ;
The sun in his grandeur
Is king of the day.
Mild zephyrs are waiting
Rich odors about us,
A-bloom are the flowers
In garden and field ;
O Day Star «ffulgent,
Mount up in thy splendor,
Till oatare’s full glory
To man is revealed.
The green fields invite us
To rare scenes of beauty,
Plumed songsters are trilling
Glad notes on the air ;
‘The king of the heavens
The day-dawn makes golden ;
Then welcome to morning
So lovely and fair!
— Alfred Bicrly.
A Woman's Age? Forget It.
Man has po right to question wo-
man's age—to even think about it. A
woman, bless her, is as old as she
makes out or makes up and not a
day older. Man is out of his latitude
when he begins trying to locate wo-
man's age longitude. It is her privi-
lege to conceal her age in any form or
manner she may choose, and it is
man’s prerogative to assist her as
much as possible rather than hinder or
question her in any way. Man owes
it to himself to see that she is sup-
plied with every means of concealing
her age or any new wrinkle which she
chooses to keep from the gaze of the
overcurious public. Man is not sup-
posed to be young or beautiful. He
couldn't be if he wanted to be and
wouldn't be if he could. With woman
it is different. She wants to be and
| ean be and is, whether she wants to
be or not, and it is a whole lot better
for her and for her admirer or admir-
ers, as the case may be, that her age
| be carefully guarded under that
charming veil of mystery which should
ever be hers by right of possession.
Ferget that she has an age, brother,
| and you will be happier, and so will
she, but don't, for heaven's sake, for-
| get that she bas a birthday.—Boston
Herald.
The Fighting Editor.
The fighting editor is no joke in
. Paris. There, if a paper calls a man a
liar or a thief, the man takes it se-
| riously, and. visiting the office. he de-
| mands a retraction or a fight. It is
| the fighting editor who receives him.
| The fighting editor sits in a Louis
| Seize study, smoking a cigarette and
| reading a new novel with a yellow
! cover. He is faultlessly dressed in
deep black—the duelist's color. The
ribbon of the Legion of Honor is in
his buttonhole. His brilliant eyes and
clear skin proclaim his perfect condi
tion. His alert, supple carriage shows
his military training. The fighting
editor never writes a line, but is re-
sponsible personally for every word
in the paper every day. On a plain,
outspoken sheet like Le Matin, which
keeps him pretty busy. his salary is
very large—840 a week or so. A con-
servative journal like Le Temps, hav
ing little use for a fighting editor, pays
the man no more than $20.—Exchange.
No Danger.
The Lady-—I'd buy you a nice pearl
handled knife for your birthday, but
I'm superstitious. I'm afraid it woula
cut our friendship. The Man—Cheer
up! No knife a woman buys could
ever cut anything. —Cleveland Leader.
The morose man takes both narrow
and selfish views of life and the world.
He is either envious of the happiness
