Bellefonte, Pa., December 15, 1911.
Oh, the Difference!
“you look pretty this evening," the
bachelor said to his fair companion.
She gazed at him philosophically. “1
Am sure you mean that well.” she re-
plied. “but you bave no idea how such
a speech wrings the heart of ove like
me—or would if 1 had not become nard-
ened to the inevitable. Nobody ever
says to me ‘You are pretty. It is ai-
ways ‘You look pretty. There is a dif-
ference 3s wide ‘as rhe wideness of
the sea. The girl who really Is preity
never has to give the subject » thought. |
Nothing she can do or leave undone |
affects the vital fact that she is pretty.
The girl whom nature bas not thus
dowered must be forever uying 10!
make herself ‘look pretty.’ Of course
in a way she deserves far more credit |
for making herself acceptable to the!
public than the pretty girl does—algo0
it is » compliment to her taste, in-
genuity. skill and various other mental
qualities to assure ber she has attained
success—but it always reminds her of
the battle she must continually wage.”

The Summeriess Year.
The year 1816 was called the “year
without a summer.” Spring came that
year. but ip its faintest form. Snow,
cold rains and winds were incessant.
It was the 1st of June before the first
left the ground. The farmers planted
their crops. but the seed wonid hardly |
sprout, and when they came to the sur
face there was not heat enough to
make the frail plants grow. It is re
corded that during the wonth of Inne
birds froze io death in the woods and
flelds. Small fraits, such ax there
were, rotted on the stem, there being |
no birds to eat them. But little corn
matured. Only in sheltered spots were |
sized roasting ears to be found.
Prosis prevailed every month in the |
year nad almost daily. The people |
after reneated hopes of a change for |
the heries settled down almost in de-
spair. ‘Che like of it was pever known |
in the country before and, fortunately,
has never heen repeated.—New York

Tolstoy and the Bear.
When Count Tolstoy was a youug
man he took part in a bear hant that |
nearly ended fatally. When the beast
charged him Tolstoy fired and missed.
He fired a second shot. which hit the
bear's jaw and lodged between his
teeth. Tolstoy was knocked down, fall
ing with his face in the snow. “There,”
he thought: “all is over with me.” He
drew bic head as far as possible be-
tween his shoulders, ex g chiefly |
his thick fur cap to the s mouth
till she was able to tear with ber upper !
teeth only the cheek under the left eye |
and with the lower teeth the skip of
the left part of the forehead. At this
moment the famous bear huut leader.
Ostashkof. ran up with a small switch |
in his hands apd cried out bis usnal
“Where are you getting to” Where are
you getting to?’ ‘I'his. says Tolstoy. '

most speed.

A remarkably brief, effective sum-

James ip sp after dinner speech. It
was delivered hy ap Irish judge trying
« man for pig stealing. The evidence
of his gulit was conclusive, but the
prisoner insisted ov calling a number
of witnesses, who testified most em-
phaticaily to bisgeneral good character.
After hearing their evidence and the |
counsel’s speeches the indee remarked.
“Gentlemen of the jury, | think that

Daring Thieves.
HOW A GULL ROBS A PELICAN
—
It Works a Clever Trick on Its Clum-
sy Victim and Is In Turn Flesced by
the Lightning-like Frigate Bird—Vil-
lainy of the Butcher Bird.
The system of living at the expense
i
a living for another parasite is as com- |
mon in the anim.! world as among |
men, and as a chance example of it |
the mosquito, which. |
feeding on man's lifeblood, is in its |
| turn preyed upon by a tiny insect
which sometimes causes its death. |
One of the most common instances of |
living by robbery in the animal world
is that of the osprey, which is de- |
spoiled of its fairly caught fish by the |
more powerful but ale lazier eagle,
for the eagle can catch its own fish
and does so when it cannot steal
them.
But a much more interesting case Is |
that of the flying fish. Pursued by its |
enemies in the water, it leaps into the
air and is caught by the pelican. When |
the pellcan has got its pouch full of
fish it wings its way to land and pro-
ceeds to eat. The pouch is a bag of
skin hangivg froin the under mandible.
and in order to get a fish out of it the
bird must open its mouth and by a
toss of the head throw a fish out of
the pouch,
The gull. knowing this and being »
| lazy fellow, watches the clumsy and
| rather stupid
pelican until it goes
| ashore to feed. Then the gull. with
| the impudence which comes so natu:
rally to villainy. actually perches on
the long head of the pelican and waits.
Open yawns the great mouth. flip
comes up a scaly morsel, wide gapes
the hungry throat of the pelican; but,
alas for it. the fish is already in the
jaws of the gull, which, with a wild
scream. has mounted aloft to enjoy its
stolen meal.
But the sharp eye of the lightning.
like frigate bird has been watching
the whole game, and the moment the
feast it sces a stronger and a quicker
itself darting toward fit
like an arrow. With a shriek of dis-
graceful swoop it is caught by the
last thief of all.
A sneak thief is the owl [It lies
concealed all day and only ventures
abroad when its victim is asleep and
when its movements cannot be seen
Its body and wings are covered with .

through the air it makes none of the
rushing noise which characterises the
swoop of the hawk, and therefore its
sharp talons ave buried deep into the
body of ite prey before the latier i«
aware of its presence.
There is a little bird called the
shrike, which for its cunning and sc
complishments deserves a high place
in the rogues’ gallery. It is not swift
enough to catch many of its feathered
fellows in fair pursult, so it sits in
ambush aud imitates the cry of a
distressed bird until a tender hus

spot to lend the aid supposed to be
wanted, whereupon the wicked crea

GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.
Racial Marks Left by Our Early Ex-
plorers and Settlers.
While most of the siates of the Mis-
sissippi valley, besides countless civ- |
ers and lakes in all parts of the coun-
try, bear Indian names, but a small
number only of the towns that are
the work of the white man have adopt-
ed names borrowed from the original !
owners of the land. Not one in ten, it |
bas been pointed out, of the 150 large |
stream.
The early explorers and settlers have
left thelr racial marks. Up the Hud-
son and Mohawk the trail of the
Dutchman is pretty clear. The French
influence in uorthern New York and
Vermont and along the line of the
great lakes is familiar in many names.
Mississippl has no “saints” in its
jist. whereas. scross the river, Louisi-
ana. by nine parishes and many towns,
rivers and lskes. perpetuates the re
liglous teneis of its early settlers.
Kentucky and Tennessee evidence the
vocabulary of the hunter and trapper;
Montana and Tdaho that of tbe miner.
All the region scquired from Mexico,
particularly southern California, main-
tains in its place names the memory of
its Spanish explorers and settlers,
There are relatively few Indian |

THE FRUGAL ARABS.
Bread and Dates a Day.
The daily routine of the Arab is sim-
ple and well ordered. He is up with
the daybreak and as soon as possible
loads his camels: then he rides for
some four or five hours before he has
his first morning meal: then he is off
. again until late in the afternoon, when
a halt is made for the night. Supper |
usually consists of warm bread, with !
an onjon or dates as a relish, Bread
is prepared in as simple a manner as
possible. While the coarse flour and |
water are being kneaded into dough a |
large fire Is made, which provides a
good heap of hot ashes. On part ob *
these the flattened dough is laid, then

The Limit In Close Bargains.
“Over in my county,” said the talker
in the hotel lobby, “we have a thrifty
merchant, a bachelor, now getting
along in years, who is noted for driv-
ing close bargains. He is straight as a
string in money matters, but a very
close harvester of the coin. He pays
all his bills inside the thirty day limit
in order to get the cash discount. The
other day, meeting his favorite neph-
ew, he said. ‘Andy, you've been a good
young man, and | intend to remember
you in my will.’
“ “Phat’s nice of you, uncle,’ said An-
dy, ‘but Pm having some hard luck
now, and if you could advance me
something ir certainly would be help-
fal.’
“Here was the opportunity of the un-
cle, always on the lookout for a bar-
gain, so he said, ‘Suppose 1 give it all
to you now, how much of a discount
you make me? "—Indianapolis

Henry Austin was slow. His work

got it done eventually. He had been

and at last they were to be married at
her home in the Stumpfield district,
ing on which the event was to take
place his neighbors, the Fosters, drove
by his house on their way to the wed-
ding. Henry was just going to the
barn with bis milking pail. Mr. Fos-
