PLEASANT GAP PICKUPS. Cold feet have kept many a man from playing with fire. Anyway, if you go in, it’s a good thing to be too proud to quit. Work never worries a man half as hard as worry works him. A man who can’t produce the goods can always produce a theory. A man may make a cigarette, but a cigarette never makes a man. You can’t blame some women for nag- ging, when you see whose wife they are. The man who turns the other cheek always runs the risk of getting the next one on the jaw. Not many will receive advice contrary to their wishes, and it is therefore gen- erally useless to give it. If some men were as stubborn about going ahead as they are about backing up, they might get somewhere. When a woman turns from men to dogs she can at least be sure that the animals she selects are well bred. That kind of financiering that will car- ry on successfully a private business, is what we need at the head of the govern- ment. Quite a number of our people are af- flicted with a mild form of the grip. For- tunately, no fatal consequences have re- sulted. A limited number of our penitentiary employees have been laid off, as a result of the limited appropriation allowed for the construction of this important state institution. It looks about as sensible for a man to getdivorced from his wife, after living long enough to find out she is too good for him, as it is to fall out with gold be- cause you can buy anything you want. The management of the Whiterock quarries made stringent efforts to secure one hundred and fifty men over and above what they now employ, but suc- ceeded in getting only about fifteen up to this time. The munition plants seem to have the call, since they can afford to pay outside wages. Pastor McKetchnie, of the M. E. con- gregation here, has been afflicted with the grip for the past few weeks. Being a man of unusual vitality and pluck, he never surrendered, but faithfully attend- ed to his official duties, and is, we are glad to announce, on a fair way of re- covery, which fact is a great source of relief to his many friends here. Pleasant Gap has been fairly well sup- plied with commodities essential to home comforts, but we were never blessed with a newspaper published in our vil- lage until a few days ago, when mer- chant Stitzer issued volume one, No. 1. The new paper is entitled *‘Stitzer’s Store Paper.” The production displays consid- erable talent, and is to be issued month- ly. It will be absolutely free to the patrons of Mr. Stitzer’s store. It is apparent that these are days of great strain upon the retired warrior of Oyster Bay. His voice indicates it. Mr. Roosevelt's ammunition seems to be run- ning low. If he loses the battle at Chi- cago, he must wait four long vears be- fore he can make another attack. And, with two defeats, what will he have left to prosecute his fight in 1920. Itis evi- dent that this is the Colonel’s last oppor- tunity. And the desperate effort he is making to get a hearing indicates that nobody knows it better than he does. The statesmen who congregate about our stores in the evenings, are now busily engaged in nominating candidates for President. Between whittling the benches and lounging around on the heads of the cracker barrels and incidentally swiping an odd cracker, the display of political intelligence usually occupies their pre- cious time up to near midnight. A few nights ago the topic for debate was on the eligibility of a second term for the Presidency, and the contest was decided adraw. We are all entitled to our pri- vate opinions on such live issues, as there don’t seem to be any good reason why a President of the United States should not be eligible to a second four-year term. A six or aneight-year term might reasonably be limited, at least so that a President should not succeed himself. There is good reason for opposing the attempt to break down the tradition which has established two terms as the limit of power for any one President. But the second term has come to be looked upon as the party’s recognized means of expressing it’s approval of the President who has become it’s leader. Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Harrison and McKinley were honored by election to a second term, and Roosevelt publicly accepted his one election as constituting a second term. The custom practically amounts to a single eight-year term, with the right of recall at the end of four years. And the effort to inject the single-term plank of the last Democratic convention into the discussion of Mr. Wilson’s eligibility is futile. If it is attempted by Democrats it will be taken for what it is, simply an attempt to advance the personal interests of Bryan or of Champ Clark. The dis- cussion of the question outside the Demo- cratic party is even more plainly a polit- ical move without any basis in principle. The Democratic party at last has a chance to shake off the incubus of Bryanism. And, in any case, it cannot afford to swap horses in the middle of the stream. If it is going to have a fu-- ture of any power and influence upon the country, it must go forward under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson. CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas. H.Fletcher. In use for over thirty years, and The Rind You Have Always Bought. PINE GROVE MENTION. The ground-hog must surely have seen his shadow. A wedding in this section is looked for in the near future. Paul McWilliams spent Sunday with old cronies in Altoona. Rev. S. C. Stover is holding nightly services at Pine Hall this week. Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Corl spent Friday at the G. McC. Fry home near town.

Lee Markle and wife and J. O. Fortney and wife were Sunday visitors at the D. W. Thomas home on the Branch. The I. W. T. band will be entertained at the home of Robert Glenn Goheen, at Baileyville, tomorrow (Saturday) even- ing. Mrs. Ruth Bodle and little daughter Gladys have returned home from a month’s visit among relatives at Wallace- ton. Grandmother Dannley, who has been confined to bed all winter with a broken hip, is now suffering severely with rheu- matism. Mrs. John E. Reed has been caring for her daughter, Mrs. Samuel Everhart, who is now recovering from a slight at- tack of appendicitis. Calvin M. Trostle is looking for the gentleman who stole the under blanket off his horse recently, while he was at- tending church services. Harry Hoy attended a public sale in Blair county last week and purchased a handsome trotter which he is thinking of training for the track. The venerable William Stamm, of Al- toona, accompanied by his son Fred and daughter Lettie, were among the mourn- ers at the Mrs. Austin W. Dale funeral on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Eric Martz left last week for their new home in Westmoreland county, where Eric will have charge of a large dairy and creamery plant. He is a graduate of Penn State, class of 1914. At the regular preaching services at the Pine Hall Lutheran church last Tues- day evening B. Frank Homan was regu- larly installed as elder and Walter Hoy deacon. It was one of the pastors first official duties. Farmer Will Stewart is going into the hog raising business, commencing with high grade piggies. Three of his thorough- bred Jersey sows recently farrowed twen- ty-six pigs. Mr. Stewart has no time nor room for scrub stock on his farm. Squire J. H. Miller, who has been housed up the past month with bronchial trouble, was able to walk to the barn on Friday. While looking over his herd of cows one of them kicked him on the knee, injuring his leg so that he is un- able to walk. W. F. Cleaver, of Washington, D. C, is now pushing the quill as editor of the State College 7imes. He is a native of Milesburg and a son of the late Rev. J. W. Cleaver, a prominent Methodist min- ister, in his day well known in Halfmoon and Pennsvalleys. The young man is a practical printer, having learned the trade before going to Dickinson Seminary, Williamsport. He later took a course in Dickinson College, Carlisle. Since then he has been editor of several daily and weekly newspapers. He is a most con- genial gentleman and we wish him suc- - cess. AARONSBURG. Mrs. Sarah Leitzell has been on the sick list for several days, but at this writing is slightly better. Mrs. Emma Beaver and daughter Belva, of Millheim, were in town Sunday visiting their sick relatives. Mrs. Henry Mowery has been a La Grippe victim during the past week, but at this time is on the mend. Mrs. C. E. Musser spent part of Sun- day with her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hackenberg, in Smullton, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Musser, of Coburn, spent Saturday with Mrs. Musser’s par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Stover, on North 2nd street. L. J. Bartlett has vacated the King house on North 2nd street and has mov- ed his household goods into the east side of Miss Mary Stahl’s house on Front street. Mrs. Eva Corman returned home last Wednesday evening from a six week's trip to Youngstown, Ohio, and Windber, Pa. She reports having had a very pleas- ant visit. Clarence Eisenhauer, of Altoona, ar- rived home last Wednesday evening to pay his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Eisenhauer, a visit. He has not been home for some time. The High school and others interested in the play they have been giving on Saturday went to Lamar, to give their play in the evening. They report a nice time but not a great amount of the essential thing, money. understands they sold tickets to the amount of $18.00, but after meeting their expenses they did not realize a large sum. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kramer and son Carl, of Norristown, Pa., paid Mrs. Kram- er's father a short visit on Saturday, while on their way to Woodward to at- tend Mr. Kramer’s mother’s funeral, which took’ place on Tuesday. Mr. Kramer at one time was teacher for our High school and successful. For some time they had been living in New Hope, The writer | Pa., but in the fall moved to Norristown | where he is continuing his work of teach- | ing. Mrs. Kramer's father, H. O. Bower, has also been ill for several weeks with nervous trouble, but is greatly improved at present. TYLERSVILLE. John Zellers, of Logan Mills, came down the valley on Saturday to visit his parents below Tylersville. Three seekers after the new life have: come forward at the protracted meeting at the United Evangelical church. Daniel Karstetter, our well known huckster, has been laid up with la grippe for several weeks, but is now able to be out again. Mrs. Anna Hubler is at Lock Haven this week in connection with the sale of her house and lot there, which she dis- posed of for $800. A large force of teamsters have been taking advantage of the sledding to get in the logs from the Samuel Schreckengast farm to the Jerry Shaffer saw mill. There is general improvement in the health of pupils attending village and rural schools, and as a result a much better record is possible of report by teachers. Edon Ilgen caught a red fox in his trap in the mountains north of the Catharine Rockey farm, Monday. He is out with dogs and gun in an effort to add to his fur collection. After spending five years in Sugar val- ley Mrs. Damaris J. Bolender left on Tuesday, from Coburn, for her old home in Illinois, where she will reside. She reached there safely on Thursday. On account of the bad hill between Rebersburg and Tylersville the Loganton mail man is frequently required to aban- don his automobile and go back to the slower horse and carriage means of con- veyance. On account of the snow storm there was only a fair sized crowd at the pub- lic sale for taxes at Quig Herlocker’s place, Saturday afternoon. A few house- hold goods, some hay and grain in the field were sold. Moses Weil, of Johnstown, has pur- chased the farm .of Miner Miller, adjoin- ing the village, and will take possession this spring. Mr. Miller will either buy another and larger place here or remove to Illinois and engage in farming. On account of the war and lack of ma- terials used and unobtainable in the manufacture of matches, they have risen in price in local stores to 6 cents for the former 5 cent boxes and 12 cents for the packages for which ten cents used to be asked. Kerosene oil has also advanced a few cents on the gallon. So far there are but two sales advertis- ed for this end of the valley. One of these is that of Samuel Schreckengast on Friday, March 10th, and the other the sale of H. F. Rockey on Saturday, March 11th, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Rockey will sell all his stock, farm implements, household furniture and farm. Sn Now Laugh! Smile. Don’t think about it. Probably won't happen that way, anyway. And, if it does. 'twon’t be as bad as you fear. There's the real trouble—being afraid We take a little trouble about the size of a gnat and look at it through the magnifying glass of fear until it looks as big as an elephant. Then we are afraid of our own crea- tion. ; Thing to do is to squash it while it is still no more than a gnat. We don’t hate squirmy things be- cause of what we know they will do to us, but because of what. we fear they might. Our reason tells us they are harmless, but our fear contradicts Men are just as bad. No need to tell a woman in what way. Smile. There's so much joy for the least of us, There's so little pain for the most of us, It seems funny to me that any of us Can't smile all the time at the rest of us. Now laugh!—Los Angeles Times. Historic Rose Tree. The most venerable rose tree in ex- istence is said to bloom against the ancient church of Hildesheim, in Ger- many. Notwithstanding the many par- ties which at different times have been in the ascendancy, they all seem to have respected and tended the rose tree, which, it is said, was planted by Charlemagne. The trunk is now al- most as big as a man’s body. There are five principal limbs trained against the church, the tree being protected by iron railings inclosing an area of about twenty-six square feet. The German soldiers in early ages tended the tree; Catholics and Protestants, in turn mas- ters of the town, drained the ground; the soldiers of Turenne fastened up the branches with clamps, and those of Napoleon, a century and a haif later, erected the railings. For the Visitors. In full view of the crowd in a very busy street two vendors of berries were busy with piles of thin wooden boxes, each scantily filled with imma- ture fruit. Emptying box after box, | the vendors deftly punched up one lay- er of the box bottom to a sharp angle pointed in the middle, propped it there with paper and then refilled the recep- tacle, taking great care that the finest and freshest looking berries should make a showy top covering. One of the spectators grew indig- nant. “How in the world,” he de- manded, “do you expect to sell your wares when you openly show that they are not what they seem to be?” “Aw, gwan!" said the vendor -ad- dressed. “This is New York, and there are more trains coming with more peo- ple.”’—Everybody'’s. Pessimism. ) Pessimism may be defined as that form of restricted mental vision that causes men to anticipate evils that do pot happen.--Houston Post. A Useless Advertisement. An old man, well past sixty, entered the publication offices of the Book and Life and asked to be directed to the lost and found counter. At the proper department, he requested the insertion of the following “liner ad.:” LOST—About forty years ago—an opper- tunity. It is probably worthless now. but I will reward the honest finder who brings it to me, as 1 am curious to know what it might have done for me had I not been careless with it. . The clerk read the advertisement and then looked pityingly at the old man. “We'll insert your ad..” he said. ‘but it is my duty to inform you that there is hardly any use in putting it in. We have no records of any lost opportuni ties ever having been found.” The old man thought for a few min utes, then he said: “Well, insert it anyhow. People will read.it and start to thinking.” Then he went away. — Cleveland Plain Dealer. Cross Eyed Mentally. Do you ever start to say something and find yourself using the word you hadn’t the faintest idea of using? Just a little cross eyed mentally, aren't you? Did you ever mean to jam your foot on the accelerator and slam it down on the brake instead? Have you ever put salt twice on the same plateful of food when one of the applications should bave been pepper? Did you ever laugh at the wrong time at the theater, or sneeze unnecessarily at a funeral, or fall to sleep quietly in church, or solicitously inquire where So-and-so is nowadays when the poor chap has been dead six months? Sure you have. Everybody does it. We're all just a bit mentally cross eyed some- times, and we don’t look where it seems that we are looking. What we really need to look out for is not doing queer things too often. If we do there's no telling what may happen to us. We may get into the papers!— Springfield Union. Men Who Wear Feathers. Among the strange tribes of men about whom little is known are the Chamacocos of the region aboit the upper Paraguay river. Although the Chamacocos wear but little clothing. they excel in the art of making personal adornments from the feathers of birds. Their country abounds with birds of the most beauti- ful plumage. iucluding parrots, tou- cans and trogons, whose feathers are dazzling in color; rheas with gray plumes, musk ducks of a glossy black color, egrets with feathers of pure white and spoonbills of a delicate pink. All this wealth of color and grace- ful plumage is combined by the Cha- macocos in a most artistic manner. Some of these savages walk their for- est glades in colors more brilliant, if less ample, than any woman's dress- maker could: produce. — Washington Star. His Elaborate Efforts. “One should beware of beginning his speech in too loud a voice,” said Grout. “If you start off with a yell. when the time comes to roar denunciation or shout hosannas you will have no wind left with which to be emphatic. 1 once knew a man whose wife ex- hibited more than 300 love letters in court, which he had written her dur- ing a brief courtship of eleven weeks. He often wrote her six or more in one day, and his shortest epistle contained four pages. And yet before they had been married two months he had slap- ped her jaws so far around that when she wanted to talk into the telephone she had to back up to it. His excuse was that he had exhausted his affec- tion in the course of the correspond- ence.”—Kansas City Star. Robbery! He was old, gray, unkempt, unshav- en and tottering. His toes protruded from his shoes. He crawled up to an old well curb by an ancient homestead and clung there exhausted. Suddenly a man in furs dashed angrily forward. “Hey, gimme them rings!” he shouted. The old man removed three diamond Medical. Neighborly Advice FREELY GIVEN BY A BELLEFONTE CITIZEN. When one has suffered tortures from a bad back and found relief from the aches and pains, that per- son’s advice is of untold value to friends and neighbors. The follow- ing neighborly advice comes from a Bellefonte resident. Mrs. Sara Miller, 210 E. Howard St. Bellefonte, says: “I had pains in my back and a dull ache across my loins. I also had headaches and diz- zy spells and spots floated before my eyes. I couldn’t do any lifting and if I sat down, I could hardly get up without help. I also had rheumat- ic twinges. Two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills removed the rheumatic pains and the other ailments. I have had very little trouble since.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Miller had. Foster-Mil- burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 61-6-1 Funeral Director. H. N.

Decr Mr. Editor—I suffered for years with backache. Last March I tried ® Anuric” and have used this new kid- ney medicine recently discovered by Dr. Pierce, and it was wondertul the way it eased the pain and gave me relief in such a short time. I have tried several medicines, but ®Anuric” is the only one that gave satisfaction. I feel it my duty to recommend « Anuric Tablets” to any one who suffers as I did. : ( Signed ) MRS. MARGARET E. SNIDER. NotE: Folks in town and adjoining counties are delighted with the results they have obtained by using * A NURIC,” the newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, who is head of the INvALIDS’ HOTEL and SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, N. Y. Those who started the day with a back- ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and an aching head (worn out before the day began because they were in and out of bed half a dozen times at night) are appreciating the perfect rest, comfort and new strength they obtained from Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets. To prove that this is a certain uric acid solvent and conquers headache, kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism, if you’ve never used the *Anuric,” cut this out and send ten cents to Doctor Pierce for a large sample package. This will prove to you that “Anuric” is thirty - seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid—and the most perfect kidney and bladder cor- rector. If you are a sufferer, go to your best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box of ®Anuric.” You run no risk for Dr. Pierce’s good name stands behind thio wonderful new discovery as it has for the past half century for his “Golden Medical Discovery,” a general tonic made from roots with pure glvogrie which makes the blood pure, his “Fa- vorite Prescription” for weak wcmen and “Pleasant Pellets” for liver ills.
