A i Bellefonte, Pa., November 5, 1915. | LANDS BASS WITH SAFETY PIN | Boy Brings in Three Three-Pounders With Which to Prove His Story. Little Arne Olson, cowherd in Itas- ca park, who catches big black bass with such a seemingly impossible de- vice as the much-maligned safety pin, may have revealed a mechanical prin- ciple that will revolutionize the gen- tle art of angling. Arne does catch bass with safety pins. This fact is vouched for by William T. Cox, state forester, who heard the tale direct from the forest service men in Itasca park, an exchange states. | One evening Arne brought home three fine bass weighing in the neigh- borhood of three pounds each. To the repeated demands to explain how he had made the capture he said that he had caughtsthem with a safety pin. Everybody laughed. ; He explained that when he clam. bered out over the lake on a fallen tree his sporting blood was fired by the sight of a number of big bass loll- ing in the shade. He had a piece of fishing line in his pocket, but no hooks or bait. Then there came an inspira- tion. Plucking a safety pin from his trousers, he fastened it to the line. The tail of a crawfish made a pre- sentable bait. : | Three times he heaved the impro- | vised lure into the semidarkness of the pool and three times he brought out a bass. Not one got away. Arne is quite sure that the tricky pin snapped itself shut when a bass struck, but each one was securely hooked, and all the fisherfolk can ac- | count for the lad’s success in no oth- . er way. More Rabies. It is a real pleasure to be able to call attention to a case of so-called “rabies” which faiied to scare one sen. | sible man. The kennel master of the Animal Rescue league found two policemen waiting for a “mad dog” to run out of a store on Dudley street and be shot. Mr. Rowlinson, going in fear- lessly, discovered a dog to whom some fool had given some sticky candy. The dog, frightened when he found his jaws stuck together, had a fit, and ' when found was too weak to walk. But | for the arrival of Mr. Rowlinson there would have been more scareheads like “Epidemic of Rabies Spreads to Bos : ton.” i Cowardice among men is responsi | ble for most of the “rabies” stories, | and mistreatment of dogs for a good deal of the remainder.—Boston Globe. | dE The Parallel. | “Their mother treats those boys as if they were Kittens.” { “Jt would pe oetter for them if she did for then sne would give them a trring evarv dav.” Don’t Dodge. Do not dodge. Whatever the diffi culties to be met, they are not made easier by trying to dodge them. In trying to dodge a missile from one di- rection you may come in line with one from a different direction. When we | tlodge trouble we are more than likely | to get into other trouble no less easy | to endure. Look with courage on | what must be met. Faced with cour- age difficulties are half conquered. Better meet and conquer difficulties than to dodge them. Do not dodge duties that devolve on you. Duties performed add strength and dignity to character. It matters little what these duties are; though they be of the simplest and humblest. well and truly done, they acquire dignity. Stand up bravely and squarely to meet the difficulties of life. With courage you will conquer. You will come through iife with fewer scars than by trying to dodge duty or dificulty. Trying to evade begets in a man a cringing spir- it. He gets a habit of trucklihig, and upright, self respecting manhood is gone. Don't dodge if you would hold yoarself above meanness.—Milwaukee Journal. Creek Names of lowa. "That Towa is a farming state is re- lected in the names of many of the :streams that flow through it. First “there is Farm creek, so that Farmers “creek is not out of place; then there is ‘a Chicken creek, a Duck creek, a “Goose creek, a number of Turkey ‘creeks, as well as Pigeon creek. There are Fox, Hawk and Rat creeks to de- vour the domestic anima®, and some Crow creeks, while there is also a Fly creek and Mosquito creek. Water creeks are present, likewise a Hog run and a Mud creek, so that Bacon creek is not strange. It is fitting that with a Bee creek and a Bee branch there should also be a Honey creek. There are a couple of Cherry creeks, a Crab- apple creek and plenty of Plum creeks, and for the wild animals we have Bear, Beaver, Buck. Crane, Deer, Doe, Elk, Otter. Panther. Raccoon. Skunk and Wolf creeks. With a Keg creek there is a Whisky creek and a Whisky run. Finally there is a Purgatory creek.— Argonaut, It Was a Fira Cod. The artist Willism ».

JH J es 100 Free Prizes for You Women Who Tell Us the Most Uses for KEROSENE It’s past belief how many women, good housewives too, think that kerosene is good only for lighting and heating. But then, of course, there are other hundreds of you who know its uses are almost bound! ss, = It leaves it shining your securing 0 CR rs Courage. Every doctor is continually finding patients who have some serious ailment which has been neglected until the possi- bilities of cure are greatly reduced or entirely hopeless. Want of courage and not lack of knowl- edge that there is something radically wrong with them has, in the majority of instances, kept these patients from seek- ing a physician’s aid. This is one of many instances that might be cited to show how essential courage is to health. It is want of moral courage, in many instances, which leads a man who is perfectly aware that alco- holic stimulants are breaking him down physically and often mentally, to con- tinue to drink. Then again every physician meets in his practice men and women who get in a blue funk over the most trivial ail- ment. Often enough these people worry themselves until they arrive at a state of mental and physical depression which makes them ready prey for disease. Unquestionably there are many dan- gers to health which we must meet every day of our lives. Itis well to know of these things in order that we may form the habit of avoiding as many. of them as possible but to be ever fearful, thinking of and cringing from danger will not aid us to avoid it. The brave man is he who knows his enemy’s strength, is watchful, vigilant, but not fearful. - : “Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant nevr taste of death bu once.” 1 ed for the ricture. “Well,” comment. ed the fishwonger, “it was a fine cod.” —Philadelphia Record.
