~~ z ~~ oellefonte, Pa., June 23, 1911. First Flying Ambulances. A valued servant and friend of the great Napoleon, Dominique Larrey, first established that system of “fiy- ing ambulances,” which carried the wounded to che rear almost as Soon as disabled. The stall numbered about 840 men with four heavy und twelve light two and four wheeled ambu- lances to each division. Napoleon re- viewed this arm of the service with the greatest interest and once exclaim- ed to Larrey: “Your work is one of the most important conceptions of our age. It will suffice for your reputation.” For the Egyptian campaign Larrey se- cured the services of S00 qualified sur- geons in addition to the regular force. At Alexandria General Figuleres was severely wounded, and on his recovery wished to present Napoleon with a splendid Damascus saber. “Yes,” sald the emperor, “1 accept in order to give it the surgeon in chief, by whose ex- ertions your life has been spared.” This saber. engraved with the words “Aboukir” and “Larrey,” was taken from the great surgeon by the Prus- sians at Waterloo.—Charles Winslow Hall in National Magazine. The Horrors of Thirst. In the oasis of Mogara, says L. Dow Covington in the Wide World Maga- zine, we had a first experience of the desert traveler's great enemy-—thirst. We were seated in front of a Bedouin chief's tent. our two baby camels en- joying their first drink of water since they had left Cairo, when, from across a sand dune, a Bedouin came stagger- ing and tottering toward us. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips twice their natural size, while his tongue, blue and dry, hung out of his mouth. Evidently | he had lost himself. had wandered around for days in search of water and had stumbled upon the oasis in the very nick of time. To allow him | to drink would have been his death. | In spite of his frantic struggles, he | was held by four men. while a fifth | allowed a few drops of water to trickle down his throat. It would have to be allowed to cool off before being filled if an accident was to be avoided. Objected to Publicity. Old Brother Brown bad been ap- proached several times by the colored | deacons of his church and asked to | pay his church dues. He had prom- fsed to “pay up" just as soon as he sold a calf which he owned Several months later he sold the calf The next Sunday morning at service the con- gregation sang the old familiar hymn: The half has never been told Of life so full and free. Brother Brown, somewhat deaf and conscious of his failure to pay his dues. understood the words to be: The calf has never been sold, But when it's sold he'll pay. When the hymn was finished the old colored man, very indignant, arose and said: “Bredrer: and sistahs, 1 has sold dat ca'f and heh's yo' ten dollahs! But I didn't ca’ about de whole chu'ch sing- in’ about it.”-—National Monthly. A Costly Tuft of Feathers. On the apes of the crown worn by the Prince of Wales on special occa sions is a curious feather. or. rather, tuft of feathers, the top of which is adorned with a gold thread. The value of this feather is estimated at $30,000, and it has the distinction of being the only one of its kind in human posses- sion. Twenty years passed after the first hunter set out to procure the feather before it was attained. and during that period more than a dozen hunters bad lost their lives in the quest The costly tuft is of periwak feathers. and the extraordinary dan- ger incurred in procuring it was due to the fact that the periwak. for some unknown reason. is to he found only in dense jungles in which tigers make their lair.—Chicago Tribune. Turning the Turtle Turtle hunting is not without ex- citement. The method of capture con- sists of the simple act of turning the turtle on its back. Once In this posi . tion it is quite helpless Its only de- fense is to cover its captor with sand thrown up by the powerful front legs or flippers These are brought into action in an Instant. and woe betide the captor who has his eyes and mouth open at the moment. for the sand is hurled with great force. When turned over the captive is dragged up the beach to above high water mark, and this Is no easy task, for it weighs about four hundredweight. Premeditated. “And why do you claim that it was with malice aforethought that the au- tomobile defendant ran down the com- plainant?” “On the morning It bappened, your honor, 1 heard him say that be was going to take out his new auto and see if he could not run across a few peo- ple he knew.”—Houston Post A Giddy Girl. “1s your daughter of a practical turn of mind?” “No: she is very frivolous. Wants to take cooking lessons instead of per- fecting her game of bridge.” —Ex- change. His Honest Face. “Anyway. he has an honest face.” “Honest? You surprise me.” “Yes; it's the only honest thing about fim. It shows bow dishonest he really is."

Harmon Worked Under Much Greater Obstacles Ohio Legislature Enacted as Many Reform Bills as Any in the United States—Has Record of Prograssive- ness. Columbus, O., June.—Governor Jud- son Harmon, of Ohio, and Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, both considered Democratic pres! dential timber from coast to coast, have impressive programs of legisia- tion to their credit. Both met with opposition in their party ranks when they championed | pending measures and both made fights to obtain legislation they be’ lieved the people wanted and needed. Governor Harmon won out over great: The Wilson Bills. The big bills in the legislative pro- gram of Governor Wilson, as set forth i clude: | A corrupt practices act. | Public utilities bill . Employers’ liability bill | The commis ‘on form of govern- | ment in cities desirirs it by a 30 per cent majority vote, including the in- tiative, referendum and recall. An election reform bill providing for personal registration and an identi- fication system in addition to the ron-partisan blanket ballot of the Massachusetts type. Civil service for election of officers. A primary bill providing for direct romination and election of all officials, including delegates to the national convention and United States sena- tors—a the Oregon plan. A law placing New Jersey on record as ready to aid in building a ship canal that will serve as a connecting districts of the American continent. A law that will protect the New Jersey public from the abuses of the cold storage companies. A set of laws that will reorganize tne schools of the state along econom- ic and progressive lines. When Democratic legislators jump- ed the party traces and refused to stand for any of these bills, bot" uvovernor Wilson and Governor Har- mon disregarded party ties and went over to the Republican side and got sufficient votes to have them enact- er obstacles, for an investigation re- ed sulted in bribery charges being filed against several legislators, who had been opposing his bills. Most of the important By persistent pounding and hammer- Judson Harmon, Governor of Chio. Hon. ing, Governor Wilson succeeded in juiling his reform bills ‘hrough the i New Jersey legislature. Governor Wilson's legislative achicvements are better known out. side his native state than are Gov: _ernor Harmon's, for the reason the latter has been tied down in Columbus by a long session which ended only last Wednesday. The New Jersey wpw-makers finished their work two months ago, and their accomplish- mente have beer advertised through- out the United States. Under the guidance of Governor Harmon the general assembly enacted | 17 important bills that the enlighten ' ¢q eitizens had been pleading for in vain for several decades. Governor Wilson's legislative program, as wide: | Iv advertised, includes bills. The Harmon Bills. The big bills on the Uarmon pro gram are: The Oregon plan of nominating and clecting United States senators by airect vote of the people. Placing the Ohio judiciary beyond the clutches of party bosses by elect ing all judges on non-partisan ballots. An employers’ liability act making provisions for all injured workmen from a fund gwade up by contribu tions by employers and employes. A public utility commiesion with autherity to regulate issues of stock, rates, mergers and service. A corrupt practices act that will make vote buying in primaries and clections a dangercus undertaking. A limited initiative and referendum for Ohio cities. A central board of control for 19 etate institutions to take the place of trustees’ This | of 19 separate boards with their corps of employes. ll places subordinate employes in the institutions under civil service. A shorter ballot by abolishing boards | ¢f infirmary directors of three mem. ters each, state and turning their duties over to the county commissioners making a large saving. A reform of Ohio elec | tion laws to prevent corruption and! fraud, also a strict system of regis. tration to prevent floaters voting. To have delegates to the i912 Gio constitutional convention nominated by petition only and elected on non partisan bailots. A back-to-the-farm movement by re- quiring agriculture to be taught in all Ohio village and country schools. Ratification of the proposed income tax amendment to the federal consti tution. Memorializing congress to call a convention to provide for the direct election of United States senators. Insuring the honest handling of all state money by depositing in banks under the competitive bidding plan. A complete reformation of tax laws that will put tax dodgers out of busi- ness and will compel corporations and owners of intangible property that have been dodging taxes to place their holdings on the duplicate the same as small property owners. In- cluded in this is a maximum one per cont tax levy limit bill. Providing for the construction of a women's reformatory and placing all girls in the state correctional institu. tions under the control of women. legislaticn in Ohio came after the bribery charges were filed. | in every county of the! In his message to the Ohio general assembly demanding the enactment of pending measures, Governor Har- ron, in addition to the bills in his legislative program enumerated above, advocated the abolition of the party : emblem in purely municipal elections, . smaller city councils, with a large par: of whom elected at large; the nomin-- ton by state wide primary electiors of all who are in any way to act for or represent the state officially or po- iitically and the non-partisan nominga- tion of judges. The general assem- biy, however, disregarded Governor , Harmon's suggestion with respect to the last four bills. A Record of Progressiveness. Judson Harmon has been called a | conservative and this is true if con | servatism means one who does not suddenly rip up governmental ma- chinery without first constructing a new and better driving power to suc- i ceed the old. If progressive Democ- | racy means constructive Democracy then Mr. Harmon is a progressive. In Ohio the people are claiming that the reform measures Judson Harmon put through the Ohio general assembly | are as progressive as any legislative program of any executive in the United States. Mr. Harmon is a ! itrong, sober, sensible, well-balanced *| and well-equipped man, of the real Jackson and Jeffersonian school—the constructive Democracy. In discharg- ing his duties, he selects his course vith great care and then proceeds = ‘th constitutional exactness. In one hand he has held the support and confidence of the man who works, and in the other he has maintained the approval of what are generally term- cd the business interests. A non-partisan judiciary bill which will place all judges beyond the do- | nain of politics, a working men's | compensation act and a public utili- ties bill are among the big measures on the Harmon legislative program that Ohioans claim are far in advance | of any such legislation in the United ! States. The workingmen's compensation act has been endorsed by both employes and employers. Injured worimen un. der it will be compensated from a fund made up by contributions from both employers and employes. Em- ployers who do not avail themselves of the law can not set forth the legal defenses of fellow servant rule, assumed risk and contributory negligence in personal injury cases. In no other commonwealth will the people have so strong a rein over pub- fic utilities as the people of Ohio. In no other state is the public so well protected from over capitalization and the excessive rates that that brings, as the people of the Buckeye state. The commission is given absciute control over rates, service and issues of stocks and bonds. Under a series of referendums which are authorized the people are enabied to pass upon rates authorized. A valuation of property | is to be made to determine rates and it is provided that no franchise or monopoly which the people grant . shall be used as an asset to author- ize a high rate. After the Ohio general assembly ad- iby one close to that executive in-°’ more drastic measure than ! link between the two most populous on journed Lieutenant Governor Nichols | issued a statement in which he said: . “It is an undeniable fact that the presen’ general assembly has a legis- lative record to its credit, of a bene- ficent nature unequaled by any legis- Jature that has convened since the adoption of our present constitution in 1851. “The enactment of these several lows is the work of accomplishment of Governor Harmon, secured by per- sistent and tireless effort without anything of the spectacular or theatri- cal. Obstacles of a seemingly in- surmountable nature were encounter- ed—only to be finally overcome—and the fruits of victory cannot be with- held from Governor Harmon. “In his work thus set forth and ac- complished he was obstructed at ev- ery turn by a strong and powerful minority—whose constant efforts scemed to be to prevent the passage of these various laws.” Medical.
