Demorvaic atc Bellefonte, Pa., March 27, 1914. Tricked Him. It was pay day at the Consolidated | She Remembered. Aunt Jane is quite absent minded and when she started on a short jour- ney, a few weeks ago, each member { of the family labored to impress on her that she must not forget any of Coal and Lumber works, and a mine worker was returning home with his | monthly envelope. He met a bad man | with a pistol, who demanded his wages. The worker handed the money over. “Now,” said he, “my wife will think that I've gambled or drunk. Won't you shoot a hole in my coat, so that I can prove that I was attacked and robbed?” “Why, certainly so,” answered the robber. The worker held out his coattail while the other punctured it with a bullet. “Another,” begged the worker, and the other fired again. “Another,” and there was another hole in the garment, another and still another. “That’s all the cartridges I've got,” said the robber. “All the cartridges you've got?” said the worker, picking up a rock. “Then give back that money, .Hand over your pistol and whatever else you hap- pen to have National Monthly. Whistler and a Supper. Though frequently hard up, Whis tler had an princely to students who lived on noth. ing at all. If Whistler had money in his pockets, Mr. Ionides says, he spent it royally on others. If his pockets were empty, he managed to refill them in a way that still amazes M. Oulevey, who, in proof of it, told us of the night | when, after the cafe where they had squandered their last sous on Kirsch | had closed, he and Lambert and Whis- tler adjourned to the Halles for sup- per, ordered the best and ate it. Then he and Lambert stayed in the restau- rant as hostages while Whistler, at dawn, went off to find money to pay. He was back when they awoke with 300 or 400 francs in his pocket. He had been to see an American friend. he said, a painter, “And, do you know. he had the bad manners to abuse the situation: he insisted on my looking at his pictures.”—“The Life of James MacNeill Whistler,” by E. R. and J. Pennell. Methuselah Practiced It. Says Benjamin Franklin in his little essay “On the Art of Procuring Pleas- ant Dreams: “It is recorded that Methusalem, who being the longest liver, may be sup- posed to have best preserved his health, that he slept always in the open air, for when he had lived 500 years an angel said to him, ‘Arise, Methusalem, and build thee an house, for thou shalt live 500 years longer.’ But Methusa- lem answered and said: ‘If I am to live but 500 years longer, it is not worth while to build me an house. I will sleep in the air, as I have been used to do.” This dialogue is not reported in the fifth chapter of Genesis, to be sure, but it is reproduced here out of respect to Franklin as evidence that outdoor sleeping is no fad. but a wise return to the manners of our ancestors.— Harper's Weekly. Profit In Arresting Deserters. “The members cf the police depart- ment are continually on the watch for deserters from the army or navy,” ex- plained the man about town. “The reason is that the government sets a price of $25 upon the deserter’'s head. Of course policemen are anxious to gain the reward and are on the watch. “The Bowery is the district most fre- quented by deserters. and that is the first place in the city where search is made for them. A score of deserters are picked up along this thoroughfare every year. ‘Before a member of the police de- partment can acept the reward for catching a deserter his claim must be approved by the commissioner. Even then he does not draw the entire amount, for the usual deduction for the police pension fund is made.”— New York Sun. An Arab View of New York. An Arab who visited New York city is said to have sent this letter home: “People in America travel like rats under the ground [meaning the sub- way], and like squirrels in the air [meaning the elevated railways], and the buildings are so high that people have to be put in square boxes and pulled to the top by heavy ropes [meaning the elevator]. In the day the sun furnishes the light the same as in Morocco. At night the light is as strong as the day. but people here do not seem to have much use for sleep, as the streets are just as crowded at night as in the day.”—Oatlook. : Misfit Tails. It was Robert's first visit to the zoo. “What do you think of the animals?” inquired Uncle Ben. After a critical inspection of the ex- hibit the boy replied: “I think the kangaroo and the ele- phant should change tails.” —Youngs- town Telegram. That Held Him. Wife—Henry, you need a rest. Let us go to Bongtong Springs. Hub— That place! Why, it's only fit for wo- men and fools. Wife—I know it. Let's go there together.—Boston Transcript.

There must be so much exercise in running up the columns.” income which seemed | her parcels or belongings. When she reached her destination she wrote at once of her safe arrival and closed with the following posteript: I remembered what you said about forgetting and tried to be as thought- ful as possible. I neglected, though, to have my trunk rechecked at the Junction, and think I must have left my lunch at the window when I bought my ticket. I must have forgotten my umbrella. too, when I changed cars, but I cannot imagine what could have become of my shawl. I suppose I neglected to put my comb and brush back in the bag after using them, but I feel con- fident that some one stole my jet brooch, as I do not see how I could possibly have mislaid it. I got on quite nicely, though, and had a real pleasant journey.—Youth’s Companion. The Creative Impulse. The creative impulse does not itself know the next step it will take or the | Agyiger js offered as a gift to those who | next form that will arise any more than the creative artist determines be- forehand all the thoughts and forms his inventive genius will bring forth. He has the impulse or the inspiration | to do a certain thing, to let himself go in a certain direction, but just the pre- cise form his creation will take is as unknown to him as to you and me. Some stubbornness or obduracy in his material, or some accident of time or place, may make it quite different from what he had hoped or vaguely planned. He does not know what thought or in- cident or character he is looking for till he has found it, till he has risen above his mental horizon. So far as he is inspired, so far as he is spontaneous, just so far is the world with which he deals plastic and fluid and indetermi- nate and ready to take any form his medium of expression—words, colors, tones—affords him. He may surprise himself, excel himself; he has surren- dered himself to a power beyond the + control’ of his will or knowledge.— Double Duty. An English sportsman—they call a man sportsman in England when he has money and nothing to do—has hic upon a very clever idea. He owns an automobile and a yacht. When he wants to use his yacht he runs the automobile aboard and harnesses it to the propeller. Then he tips off the self starter, the auto gets busy, the propeller churns the water, and the plain yacht becomes a fast motorboat. When the sportsman gets where he wants to go he ties up the yacht, runs the auto ashore and gayly whizzes along the good roads. Of course, to be perfectly fair about it, the sportsman should take the yacht aboard the auto when he is on land, but up to the present time he has shown no willing- ness to display any such form of altru- ism. He's got a good idea, however. Pampered autos have too long been permitted to go aboard as stowaways. It’s high time they were compelled to work their passage.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. oo : | An “Absent Minded Beggar.” | In “Bohemian Days In Fleet Street” | is this anecdote of Phil May, the art- ist: Phil was at one time ordered horse exercise. It was thought that this mode of progression would insure his safe and early return to the domestic hearth. But it did not always work. One afternoon Phil was riding home from Fleet street to his house in Ken- | sington, and. in passing through Lei- cester square, thought that he would drop in at the Cosy club. * * * He gave his horse in charge of an urchin to hold for him. It was then 4 in the! afternoon. At 2 o'clock in the morn- ing a police constable entered the club to inquire whether one of the members | had left a horse in charge of a boy outside. The secretary remembered that May was the proud possessor of a steed, But May had left the club at midnight. He had forgotten all about his horse, and had driven home in a hansom. | The Dancing Disease. y The “dancing disease” was an epi- demic nervous disorder, apparently al- lied to hysteria and chorea, occasional- | ly prevalent in Germany and Italy dur- ing the middle ages. As it has been in every instance chiefly propagated by physical contagion, like chorea. there is every reason to conclude that it had a like origin. In 1734, during | the celebration of the festival of St. John at Aix-la-Chapelle, the streets became crowded with men and women of all ranks and ages who commenced dancing in a wild and frantic manner, many losing entire control over them- selves and continuing to dance until dropping down from fatigue. The ma- ! nia spread to Cologne, Metz and Stras- burg, and gave rise to much imposture. profligacy and disorder. Not Animals. The negro teamster had been arrest- ed for using his whip too freely on the public street. “You are charged with cruelty to ani- mals,” said the judge. “How do you plead?” “Why, jedge,” answered the prisoner, “I wa’n’t crool to no animiles. Them beasts dat I wuz lickin’ war mewls.”— Buffalo Express. Alaska’s Coast Line. The coast line of the mainland of Alaska is more than eight thousand miles in extent, greater than the entire Atlantic coast line of the United States. The coast line of the main- land and. contiguous islands is over four times as great as the entire coast line of the United States. Something of a Curiosity. “What made you send our friend, Mr. Bumshus, the Russian alphabet?” “I thought it ought to interest him,” replied Miss Cayenne. “It is the only thing I ever heard mentioned that he did not assume to thoroughly under- stand.”—Washington Star.

Proper Way to Walk. In walking, your feet should point straight ahead and come down flat, heel first. Writers who advise that the ball of the foot should touch the ground first, in common with the cal- isthenics instructor at school who like- ly as not advises the same thing de not know anything about the practical side of walking. The former doubtless have in mind the ballroom, and the lat- ter the gymnasium. On a long walk you will naturally fall into the proper way of handling your feet. Let your arms swing naturally also, and for their benefit carry a stout stick—not a stout staff, which is too long and awk- ward. Keep this stick moving, in one hand or the other, and it will exercise your arms better than the mere act of swinging them will. Keep the shoul- ders down, the chest up and the body erect. The right posture of the body is as important a factor while walking as it is in the schoolroom.—From “The . Boy Scout’s Hike Book.” He Explained. There was in Broadminster, says thc “Lighter Side of English Life,” a re sourceful parson who invented plausi- ble answers to questions when he dic not know the right ones. He had been talking to a lady about a “Breeches” Bible picked up by a brother parson ' for sixpence, when she asked what a “Breeches” Bible was: “A ‘Breeches’ Bible?” he cried. “Oh, a ‘Breeches’ Bible is the one that was . carried by Cromwell’s troopers in their pockets, It was made specially for , carrying about—small, you know, and compact. I remember reading that several of the soldiers had their lives saved owing to the bullets having lodged in the volume in their breeches pecket.” “Not really?” said the lady. “How very interesting! I do believe that I heard something like that having hap: pened, I forget where.” A Tip to the Poets. His (Richard Hovey’s) voice was ad- mirable, sonorous and colorful, and he used it excellently whether to read or recite. It was a novelty to editors. when they asked him to submit a poem, to have him ask “Perhaps you'd like this?” Forthwith he would re- cite the poem he had to offer, not fal- tering in a line and bringing out the thought and feeling of it all magically, as we read the first poets gave their | soul to rapt listeners. In case the poem happened to be unsuitable for the pur- pose Hovey would smile unperturbed and proceed to recite his second choice. If the poem were accepted on his re- cital he would go back to his apart- ment to write out a copy of it and send it to the editor. — Richard Duffy in Bookman. Scottish and Smart. John Clerk, Lord Eldon, was of a very convivial disposition. Once the author of “Law and Laughter,” after a Bannatyne club dinner, “where wit and wine contended for the mastery,” tumbled heavily downstairs on the way to his carriage and broke his nose. When he reappeared in public, looking somewhat cdd about the face, some one asked how the accident happened. He said it was the effect of his stud- ies. “Studies!” ejaculated the inquir- er. “Yes,” growled the judge; “ye’ve heard, nae doot. about ‘Coke Upon Littleton,” but I suppose You never before heard of ‘Clerk Upon Stair! ” The New Nurse. “Now, nurse, please do not say any- thing to the child about bugaboos.” “Certainly not, madam. And one question, please.” “Well?” “Do you wish the infant to have any | instruction at this time on the subject ! of germs?’—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Wrong Preposition. “People are so careless about the 'roper use of prepositions.” “Yes, I know they are. Fred told me he and his bride were going to live with the old man when he really meant on the old man.”—Baltimore American. Just Looking.
