It was painted by W. L. Antrim and W. A. Landsy and is pronounced by Mrs. Cheney, a daughter of the deceased judge, to be a remarkable likeness of her father, and of the quality of work equal to some of the masters. The picture was presented to the gallery by Mrs. W. P. Wilson. The picture of every judge who presided in Centre county shouid be in this collection. ——C. C. Richards is in Bellefonte making a measurement survey of the town and securing data for the purpose of compiling an insurance map for the different insurance companies. Not only every street will appear on the map, but every building, whether of stone, brick or wood, its size, general condition and by what occupied. Also if it is in close prox- imity to any other building that is a bad risk. The map is used by the insurance companies and the underwriter’s associa- tion for the adjustment of rates, etc. —Central City young men have or- ganized a baseball team and tomorrow (Saturday) will play the Bellefonte match factory team on the grounds at Central City.

Mr. Kerstetter wanted to build a new house and he got estimates here as to the cost of the lumber neces® sary. Thinking the estimates a little high he wrote the Chicago firm and got an estimate which was a little more than five hundred dollars less than the lowest bid obtained here. The lumber was cy- press, cedar and South Carolina pine and was shipped here with door frames and window frames and sashes, and all other frame work ready to erect. With such a condition prevailing here is it any wonder Bellefonters and Centre countians send away for what they need? Real Estate Transfers. J. A.

Why do Democratic business men allow Bryan to dictate to them what to do and not do? Why don’t they tellhim to mind his own business, to go home and peddle his views and stay there?

Few Die From Smallpox. In nearly 20,006 cases of smallpox reported in the United States during 1909 there were only ninety-two deaths, making the average mortality rate less than one-half of one per cent.

Persons that can y or never make it, in honesty to themselves, zre among the most unfortunate. They do not live, but exist for to live implies more than to be. To live is to be well and strong—to anse feeling equal to the or- dinary duties of the day, and to retire not overcome by them—to feel life bound- ing in the veins. A medicine that has made thousands of people, men and wom- en, well and strong, has accomplished a great work, bestowing the richest bless- ngs, and that medicine is Hood's Sarsa- parilla. The weak, run-down, or debili- tated from any cause, should not fail to take it. It builds up the whole system, changes existence into life, and makes life more abounding.
