Io Bellefonte, Pa., October 8, 1909. Beyond the last horizon's rim, Beyond adventure's farthest quest, Somewhere they rise, serene and dim. The happy, happy Hills of Rest. Upon their sunlit slopes uplift The castles we have built in Spain— ‘While fair amid the summer drift Our faded gardens flower again. Sweet hours we did not live, go by To soothing note, on scented wing : In golden-letiered volumes lie The songs we tried io vain to sing. They all are there ; the days of dream That build the inner lives of men ; The silent, sacred years we deem The might be, and the might have been. Some evening when the sky is gold I'll follow day into the West ; Nor pause, nor heed, till I behold The happy, happy Hillsof Rest. ~—Albert Bigelow Paine, in Harper's. The Evolution of a Tenderfoot. I Written especially for the Warcuman.] ‘The evolution of a tenderfoos is an inter- esting process if yon bave enough philoso- pby in your make-up to study the master in all ite details. For instance, you walk out on a warm, sunny day and come suddenly upon man’s hereditary enemy, a snake. Yoor first im- pulse is to look about for a stove, which is an invisible quantity in the rich, deep soil of Meadow Ranch ; then in desperation, you look for a fence rail when your com- panion quietly remarks, “We don’s kill those little things, they are harmless and they eat mice and rate which do a great dea! of damage.” It isa fact that there are no poisonons suakes in this immediate looslity. Is may be on account of the high altitude for they are numerous in the low- er valleys. The poisonous reptiles here are the scorpion, centipede and rattlesnake lizard ; and they are not often seen. Hence it is a favorite location for camping parties in the summer. Though carriages and buggies are fre- quently used, the ordinary method of trav- el is on horeeback ; and it is the only pos- gible way on many of the trails. So we will take a horseback ride this morning to visit a settler’s cabin. Some of the mem- bers of the party are walking and of course you enjoy the novelty of your position un- til yon come to a creek which must be forded. At this point ooriosity gets the better of you and you ask how deep the water ie and are told thas it comes up only $0 the horees’ sides and if you bold up your feet yon will not get them wet. You are also assured that the horse knows the way and will take you moross in eafety ; while the others cross the foot log’ a few rods down stream. You ask a small boy who bappens to be of the party il he would not like to ride and of course he would, so you change places with him and oross the foos log with the others. There are times when a small boy becomes a very useful member of society. As you nscend the sloping ‘hill on the other side you begin to realize the beauty of is all. The majestic fir and pine trees waving their green plumes aloft; while be- peath them gorgeous flowe:s brighten and beautify every shady nook; and make the air heavy with their perfawe. “Full many a flower is born to blush unseen.” And under them and all about them lies many a mighty monarch of the forest, which having braved the storms of centuries obeys, in silence, the law of nature and returns again to mother earth, “Imperial Cresar, dead and turned to clay, May some day fill a hole to keep the wind away.” After traveling in this way for about a mile we come to a clearing or ‘‘slashing” a8 theyfoall it here, In the middle of this is a neatly built log honse surrounded with flowers which show the results of careful attention. The owner proudly in- forme us that be calls this place the *‘Ce- dare’ baviog cedar trees growing about it for shade trees. Youn are moved to inqaire i be oan spare the time to cultivate those flowers. He answers “yes, I could not live here alone without flowers.” This is one type of settler who is carving a home out in the wilds of Oregon. Imagine yourself, on leaving the school. room in the evening, in less than an hour after dismissing your pupils, being mes by one of your boys with a gun on bis shoul- der, asking you if you saw the wildoat he bad been chasing. Having heard several shots fired and a noise in she woods as of dogs running, you are prepared to listen to the story he tells of his adventure as he walks toward bome with you te show yon where some of the balls with which he ‘missed the cat hit a log. Then as you are ‘near bome and ous of danger he continues ‘his search for the ‘‘varmins.”” That is the Jast you hear of that creature. Is has gone its way to prey on squirrels snd rabbits. | makes You occasionly hear of a cougar, bus there is so much game for them to kill shat they "avoid coming in contact with man. It is estimated by some hunters that a cougar will destroy two hundred deer in one year. Again, fanoy yourself on returning from school on Friday evening, being told that you are included in a party to go over the Canyon mountains to Stouts Creek on the following day. Io order to give some idea of the trail we sball state that Meadows Ranch is about two thousand feet above #ea level. We leave bere in high spirits, mounted on sure-footed horses that are The leader of the party, a woman who until a few years ago lived in Chicago, ae- oustomed to all the conveniences of city Jite, site on ber horse as naturally as if she in “| tial always lived on borsebask. “She oar: ries a gun, for to quote her own words, “It is convenient to bave a gun along if we should see anything. My busband beard wolves the lass time he was over this trail.’ As you proceed you fod rt stadyivg this woman, and, intelligent read, well informed on the questions of the day, she seems perfectly happy in » giving air of these mountains. This is only ove of many instances of well-eduncas- ed people living in these solitudes and find- ing bealth as they ges in closer touch with nature. Daring the ascent you are shown all the poinse of interest as well as warned of all the traps and sink holes io the way. When you have reached au attitude of sweaty- three hundred feet you are in the saddle of the mountain and then begins the descent on the other side. This is decidedly in- teresting. That is you become deeply in- terested in the condition of she trail, though the others who bave traveled it many times pay but little attention to is. When you come to a narrow place as the trail leads close to some overhanging rock or around some great tree, you bavea feeling akin to that of Mr. Winkle on skates and you conjure ap a picture of Mr. Pickwick up to his neck in ice-water as you mentally say to your pony “Take oare of yourself, Belle, for my sake?’ Thus you godown intodark glens where the waters tinkle musically as they dance over the rocks, up again over steep banks until at last the ob- jeotive point is reached, seventeen hundred feet above the sea. Here are two settlers’ cabins with a clearing aronnd each of them. “What is that?” you ask ae a large head with a pair of short, spreading horns, looks at you over » high fence. “That is our Jerry, he bas been here a few weeks.” And “Jerry’ having attracted notice immedi- ately proceeds to express his sentiments by scraping the dust and tossing it up in the air. You look about for a place of safety in case the belligerent ‘Jerry’ should be- come more aggressive. There are large high stamps in sight, bus to be enthroned on a stump with an over-grown bovine for a body goard is not a pleasant prospect. Your fears are groundless however for a few sharp decisive words of command from one of the party cause the boastlul creature to retreat as ingloriously as boasters com- monly do. It is not long until dinner is announced, and, oh, how you eat ! As the afternoon advanoes there is saddling and mounting and olimbiog until you are again in the saddle of the mountain, and you are silent while you drink in the glory of it all. The san kissing the treetops good nighs, a bisd singing ite evening song to ite mate in the distance, all framed in majestio stillness. From here the descent is soon made and the beautiful, green fields of Meadow Ranch spread out before us and once more we are at Anchor. M. V.

He prob ably earned the promotion in advance of his colleague by his preposterous decision affirming the validity of the law increasing the salary of judges in commission. Judge Barratt would hardiy have done that absurd thing. These incidents justify the belief that in the opinion of the machine the saving of Samuel Salter from just crimes in the catalogue was a valuable public service to be rewarded gener ously by the people. After the break between John Weaver and the ma- chine it was openly charged and has not been denied that the district at- torney’s office was aware that the jury had been fixed to acquit Salter. What part Von Moschzisker played in the farce of trying Salter after the jury had been fixed to acquit him has not been revealed. But the case could not have been manipulated as it was without his knowledge and acquies- cence unless he is a born stupid. QUAY STATUE JUST JUNK Lies in Storage Warehouse Subject to Sale For Fees Ere Long. Surrounded by boxes, bales, pack: ages and bundles, the Quay statue re pose in a storage warehouse in Har risburg—just plain junk. Two weeks ago n pursuanceof or ders from David H. Lane, one of the members of the Quay statue commis- ‘sion, Sculptor Bitter shipped the mar ble to Ha.risburg, directed to Gov- ernor Stuart as president of the board of public unds and buildings, but the latter ¥ would not shoulder it, and placed the burden of gelecting a site and installing the statue on the commission. Mr. Lane then issued orders to Mr. Bitter to plant the statue on a site selected for “Cousin Matt's” but Mr. Bitter has failed to move. The Pennsylvania railroad freight ‘officials needed the room in the freight shed occupied by the statue, and hav- Ing no information when it would be called for, directed that it be taken to the Harrisbu Storage -ompany’s warehouse, ere is no word from anybody whose place it is to look af ter it, and unless the statue is called for it will be sold for storage expenses at fhe expiration of the legal time m in a storage warehouse, That Powerless Tariff Commission. Although Taft's new tariff commis sion will have luxurious quarters in Washington, with a retinue of experts and clerks, with fat salaries and plenty of money for traveling abroad and at home, theirs is not going to be a bed of roses. That enfant terrible of pro tection, Wilbur F. Wakeman, ex-gen- eral appraiser of customs, has already opened war on the commission.

COLONEL POTTER ON QUAY Veteran Reformer Pays His Respects - to Memory of Arch Corruptionist. At a meeting of the veteran reform- ers of Philadelphia the other evening one of the hopes of the Republican machine yas badly shattered. Four vears ago the Lincoln Party men in that city declared, until within a few days before election, that they had no intention of interfering with political conditions outside of the city. This year the Willlam Penn Party has as- sumed very much the same attitude | and the machine Republicans had be- | gun to express the hope that the oid Lincoln Party men would not only not support the Democratic state candi dates, but that they are indifferent to the success of Mr. J. Clarence Gib- bony, the Democratic and Penn Party nominee for District Attorney. To refute all rumors on that point and for the purpose of setting them- selves in a proper light before the public these veteran reformers held a meeting the other night at which Col onel Sheldon Potter and others spoke, and Mr. Blankenburg, who was pre- vented by sickness from attending, wrote a letter which was read. Dur ing his speech Colonel Potter said of the Quay statue: In a few days there will be placed in a niche in the place where Pennsyl- vania’s heroic sons should be honored the statue of a man who was the prince of corruptionists, and whose only fame was his power to enslave men to do as he dictated. This proclaims that we Pennsylvanians have sold our liberty. It can only be done either because public conscience is dead or because we hold too lightiy our liberties. The latter seems the truth, y in Philadelphia, where we willingly sup- port a robber contractors’ government nd permit then to steal m us the one § moet sacred to an American citizen—his ballot. ‘We can see no great reason why any of the proposed constitutional amend- ments should be adopted, but we can gee very many grave reasons why the seventh proposed amendment should be defeated. In the first place, it would take from the citizen the most impori- ant of his electoral rights. We are all more interested in the election of a president than in that of a judge of local office is the more important to the average citizen. Besides, upon the character of the election boards de- pends the integrity of the ballot. If the citizen abdicates his right to a voice in the selection of the election hoards he ‘consents to any form of ballot frauds and electoral immorality which the majority party may choose to im- pose. For these and dozens of other reasons vote against the proposed con- stitutional amendment marked No. 7. by processes of the law. Yet a man who disfranchises himself by failure to register, pay his taxes and conform .to the requirements of the ballot la fn other respects is disfranchised the processes of law.

This is she vogue of on over thin frocks for the motor drive home after sunset. Neither is the a motor coat. Ite graceful fit, its sleeve, its general air of “*on yawmde,lr distinguish is {rom the roomy, in- 'ormal motor coat built for warmth and practicability, snd usually much too heavy for the pedestrian. The on the oon , is a delighsfal walking coat. It is built of lighs weight, rather loosely woven wool material and when skillfully cat swings well away from the feet wi the dress skirt at every step; and this while preserving slender, graceful lines at buss, back and hip. The clever tailor produces this gion shape by a multitude of gores, long onat requiring more gores than a shorter one of she same fabric. These extra gores of the coat faliing straight and flat from breast to hem and giving what the e tailor terms the “‘tapering live,” ent to the lay wind in an entire absence of clumsiness and a slender figure effect. The topcoat, of course, owes its reason for being to the one-piece frock, which is such an important item of dress juss now. This winter we shall see bundreds of these one piece costnmes made np in light wool, silk and wool and permo-hair (the new woo! and mohair) materials; and in all the volt colors; for women have adopted with enthusiasm a style which gives them as varied and as pretty costumes for winter as for snmmer time. Bat with these various frocks, of course, the three quarter coat of the winter suit wae not to considered. Imagine a berry red silk cashmere frock ! with a smoke gray broadcloth coat, or an amethyst cheviot coat over a navy blue frock ! One general utility coat was the crying need and Paris resourcefully came to the rescue with the smart topcoat de- signed for street wear over the little wool trook of lighter fahric. Some of the French topcoats aie fairly bewildering in their cleverness of out, the French tailors seeming to vie with each other in whimeies and eccentricities of shapiog, in strappiogs, pockets and belts placed entirely out of conventional posi. tion, but astonishingly smarts for all shat. A Soloviel topcoat of rough golden brown b un, flecked with white, bas the back breadth formed of four sections, each lap- ping over the next higher, two of the seo- tions extending around the figure in belt fashion—one at the hip and the other just beneath the bust. More dressy is a Bernard model of hout er's green oheviot, which swings ous well toward the foos and is bordered all around with dark skunk tar. As the hip are slant. ing pockets, tremendous in size but giving a remarkable dash and character to the coat. Topcoate of plain colored cloth will be exceedingly smart for afternoon wear, and for these rather dressy coats tailors are selecting wide wale diagonal serges, hroad- cloths, soft, loosely woven oheviots and camelshair; the mixed labries like two-tone b n, tweeds and coverts being used for utility or rough weather wear. A larly emart topooat was seen in a fashionable restaurant at luncheon hour the other day.
