Bellefonte, Pa., May 22, 1914. -_-_ et Lr i i EUROPE LOSING ITS CHARM Mr. Brown Didn't Enjoy His Thirtieth: Visit—Tips and High Prices Palled. Almost every summer since 1877 Al-! exander P. Brown of Philadelphia has been spending in Europe, it being his custom to go abroad in the late spring and then to find his way back in Octo- ber. When Mr. Brown landed recent- iy he had completed his thirtieth trip to the other side, says the New York Sun. “Yet I found this summer I did not enjoy Europe as I once did,” said Mr. ‘Brown at the Waldorf. “Everything ‘has changed so much, and that mainly dn the last few years. When I came away the hotel proprietors were spend- ing lots of money in the belief that there were still Americans somewhere in Europe or headed that way, but they are mistaken. Most of the Amer- jcans who went abroad in the spring or summer have come home. Most of ‘them who had been in the habit of going abroad stayed a shorter time this year than usual “Switzerland had the call on all ‘travel last summer, as always. But Switzerland and the Swiss have changed much. In the first place, prices have gone up. It is no longer 'easy to find the modest hotel where, for a small sum, you can live on the best in the land, and there af'e many new modern hotels with modern prices. In fact, the prices in Switzer- land seem to be on a par with those of the higher priced hotels in Lon- don, Paris and New York. Then, it was a bad summer in Switzerland for: weather. What with continuous rains and snow ahead of time, visitors got ‘rueumatism. And as for the number of visitors to the country this sum- mer, why, there were at one time 400,000 foreigners scattered over the area tributary to Lucerne, Interlaken and Zurich. Yet many hotels over there went into bankruptcy. “Paris has been woefully dirty all the season. Theysdon’t begin to keep the streets in as good condition as is done in New York. Why, I believe that without any exaggeration the Place 'Vendome must have in it 1,000 holes, ‘which would break the leg of any 'horse that would step into one, and ‘practically only the thoroughfares that go to make up the Grand boulevard | are in good condition.” PUPILS UNDERGO ODD TUITION Peculiar Schools in Europe for the Teaching of What Might Be Called “Trades.” : In St. Petersburg there is an insti- tution where young men training for service as police make a special study |’ of the tools used by professional thieves. There is a class devoted scle- 'ly to the study of forgery, with par- ticular reference to the falsifying of signatures on passports. At Monte Carlo a school for croup- , fers is conducted. During the sum-|: mer months aspirants for the office of croupier learn the operations of the gaming tables. Each pupil must, from time to time, while others are im- personating players and making wa- ‘gers, conduct the game and learn how instantly to pay out the winning stakes. Six months’ tuition is gener- ally necessary. In Brussels there is a school for the instruction of grave diggers. All candidates for appointment as sextons throughout Belgium must pass an ex- ‘amination at this school before they can obtain employment as grave dig: gers. Hawk Swooped on Hunter. A large hawk attacked J. S. Spicer of Fredericksburg, Va., while he was hunting wild turkeys in Spotsylvania county. While hidden in a brush pile and undergrowth, Spicer commenced calling turkeys. Soon a huge hawk alighted on the limb of a tree nearby. ‘While Spicer was waiting for the bird |. to turn, so as to become a favorable |' target, the bird suddenly dived toward him. Before the hunter could fire the hawk was upon him. Spicer threw up his left hand to guard his face, and the hawk’s talons pierce his hands. Spicer soon bore the hawk to the ground, and, getting his knife from his pocket with his frec hand, cut the leaders in the hawk’s legs. In this condition he succeeded in bringing it to Fredericksburg alive. It is sup- posed the hawk saw only Spicer’s eyes through the brush, and thought him a rabbit or other prey. Inhospitable to Royalty. In the course of army maneuvers in a country district Prince Arthur of Connaught and some brother officers lunched on top of a haystack. Pres- ently the farmer appeared and fore- ibly expressed his opinions on the subject of his haystack being used as a messroom. An orderly hurried up and explained who the officers were, and he added that one of them was Prince Arthur, King George's cousin. The indignant farmer flatly refused to believe him. “Anyway, prince or no prince, they've got to come off my stack,” he declared, and, turning to the amused officers, he added: “Dash it all, from the looks of you, the next thing you'd do with the stack would be to eat it!” Camels In Queensland. Over 1,000 camels are used In Queensland as a means of transport across the arid districts, and the num- ber is rapidly increasing. “Crooked” Conduct of Boss Came as a Shock to Even His Hard- ened Heelers. These tales of bagmen that District Attorney Whitman of New York is bringing out recalled to a veteran poli- tician the experience of the boss of a western city, who was something in the way of a political collector him- self. One day near the close of a hot cam- paign he managed to round up some five thousand dollars. With a couple of his pals he had a bibulous celebration. About 2 in the morning he was cling- ing to a lamppost and trying to call a cab when two of his heelers hove in sight. He knew they would rob him ‘if they suspected he had money. Brac- ing himself he greeted them with: “Hello, fellows; lucky you happened along. I'm dead broke and want a cab. ‘Get one and take me to my hotel and I'll make good.” When they reached the hotel the ‘drunken boss sleepily asked the clerk ‘to give each of his companions a five dollar bill. At the same time he drew ‘from his trousers pocket a huge roll of bills and throwing it at the clerk ‘told him to “keep that wad of stuff in ‘a safe place until morning.” Disgustedly the heelers watched the safe door close on the young fortune ‘that had escaped them, while the boss sank into a chair. : i “Oh, you thief!” angrily shouted one iof the heelers, as he shook his fist ‘under the nose of the boss. “That’s ‘the meanest double cross you ever igave a friend in your whole crooked ‘career. You said you was broke and /you had thousands in the wad. Con- ‘found you, there’s no one a fellow ‘can trust these days. That money be- longs to us by rights and you've rob- bed us of it.” FELT CALLED ON TO REBUKE Deacon Had Suffered From Appearance of Evil and Realized Sense of Duty. i One day a western deacon went to /make a fraternal call on an esteemed brother, and while engaged in conver: ‘sation there came a knock at the door ‘and the host was summoned to attend to a matter of business. “Brother,” impressively remarked ithe deacon when the host returned, “I ifeel that it is my duty to tell you that .you should avoid even the appearance of evil.” i “Why, deacon,” responded the host ‘in a surprised voice, “to what are you referring?” “Those decanters on the sideboard,” ‘solemnly answered the deacon, “each ‘of them is filled with what appears to ‘be ardent spirits.” “That’s a conceit of my wife's, dea- con,” laughed the host, greatly reliev- ed. “The bottles were so pretty that she filled them with floor stain and furniture polish just for a show.” “That's why Fm cautioning you, brother,” sadly rejoined the deacon. “Feeling a trifle weak and faint, 1 helped myself from the larger bottle.” —————————————————— His Sympathy for the Old Maids. It is being told that the mayor of ‘an Iowa city is an old bachelor and witty, and among his constituents are ‘a family of spinsters who are precise and cranky. One night a charivari oc- ‘curred near the home of the spins, and ‘disturbed their slumbers and peace of ‘mind. and the following morning they ‘called on the mayor to remonstrate. “Jt is a shame that small boys are permitted to make such hideous noises ‘in this city,” said one of the spins, who assumed great dignity. ‘Ladies, 1 assure you that I am shocked at the conduct of those boys, and had I known that a charivari was going on I certainly would have sent the entire police department to the scene of the grewsome activity,” said the mayor. “I agree with you that noth- ing like that should have occurred in this city of civilized people. And if everybody were like you and me there 'would be no mean little brats to ‘make such a hideous racket.”—Kansas City Star. . cre Bird Man Has Arrived. On the day after Christmas a Rus- isian aviator at St. Petersburg flew a ‘new machine of his own making for ‘hours, carrying ten passengers in addi- ition to a heavy load of ballast. This ‘establishes the aeroplane as a sure {adjunct of modern transportation, in- icluding passengers and freight. A ifew days before this even we heard of the successful use of the flying ma- {chine by the French army operating iin Morocco, which puts this new mode ‘of warfare among the arms of military ‘operations of our day, and hereafter {when we use ‘the expression “all arms” we shall have to include the ‘flying machine. + Will Hold the Mayoralty. A summons, by which it was sought ito disqualify Alderman Henry O’Shea, ‘the lord mayor of Cork, from sitting ‘as a member of the city county, on ithe ground that he is an alien, has ‘been dismissed by the Cork magis- ‘trates. Maurice Healy, M. P., who prosecuted, said Mr. O’Shea himself ‘had admitted that he was an Ameri- ican citizen. The defense put in a certificate by the British consul at New York to the effect that no such ‘name as “Henry O'Shea” appeared as registered as an American citizen. Cut Out Middlemen. ' Russian peasants formerly sold jthetr wine in advance to middlemen, [estizing only about one-half of the |value of the product. Last year, how- lever, there were only a few transac- ‘tions and the peasants expect to do |without the middlemen in future.

GIVE UP THE GAME | Caddie’s Unfeeling Remarks Too Much for Tender Feelings of Dear Old Gentleman. A dear old gentleman, who had only taken up the dear game very late in: life, spent some months endeavoring, under the tuition of a professional and the care of a special caddie, to hit the ball. When he succeeded in doing so at all it was never more than a few yards, and every bunker on the course was his daily doom. Still his caddie, having an eye to the main chance, always encouraged him to think that he would soon be more 2a player, and the old man, with the hope that springs eternal even more in the hearts of golfers than in other people, firmly believed him. One day it happened that his special caddy was absent, and a ruffianly looking person appeared on the first tee with the old. gentleman’s clubs. He took his nor- mal 14 shots to the first hole, to the unconcealed but unnoticed disgust of the caddie; but on the second tee the miracle happened, and the old boy for once hit a beauty. ~ “That was a good one, wasn’t it?” he asked, turning to the bearer of clubs. “Good one?” retorted the ruffian, in tones of the bitterest contempt. “Why, I could play better than that with me left fut!” This unexpected verdict so upset the poor old man that he walked straight back home, and has never touched a club since. Kindergarten in Hotel. The Vanderbilt hotel in New York has an idea for the benefit of its guests who have children which might well be copied by other hotels. A kinder- garten has been established under a trained teacher, using Montesorri and other methods. There are toys of every description to keep the young- sters amused, and in the meantime they may be learning something worth while. Are You Alive? There is no way by which you can “probe” to another that you “are alive” It is a matter of conscious- ness, of your own consciousness, and he who doubts your existence must keep on doubting so far as any ar- gument that you may be able to offed him is concerned. If he will not take your word on the matter, the whole controversy is forever settled. Hood's Sarsaparilla. You Need a Tonic HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA, AS A SPRING MEDICINE, IS THE BEST.
