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.

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

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

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

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.

of the courts and Mr. Moschzisker is
the nominee of the machine for jus
tice of the supreme court. 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.

Although Taft's new tariff commis

Washington, with a retinue of experts

of money for traveling abroad and at

of roses. That enfant terrible of pro
tection, Wilbur F. Wakeman, ex-gen-

opened war on the commission. In be-

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

This winter we shall see bundreds of these
