A maiden lady residing within the confines of Pleasant Gap accosted your correspondent a few evenings ago with a rather abrupt harangue. She seemed highly incensed against the newspapers for not showing up the bachelors in their proper dilatory light. She said the press columns always contained a lot of unimpor- tant literature that was of little in- terest to the public, and concluded by saying, “why don’t they tell us some- thing about the bachelor and what use he is to society. Living only for his own comfort, a hot-house plant to be nurtured and cared for by others, he is appreciated only by a doting mother and a maiden sister. -Please give us his good points, if he is pos- sessed of any, that we may learn to endure, and perhaps embrace, what we have heretofore almost despised.” To begin to enlighten the lady we can think of some good purposes for which he might be used, but the gov- ernment has evidently never thought of them; or at least, it has not con- sidered them. He might be put in those positions which are attached with the most danger; there, if lives were lost, there would be few to to mourn. He might be heavily tax- ed, for certainly no others have as much right to bear the public expense as those who have none depending upon them. When drafts are made to fill up our armies, the President’s proclamation might read: “Draw on- ly from the bachelors.” They might be made gas inspectors, dynamite su- pervisors, assigned any position in which it would be dangerous to put a great and good man. Now, then, tak- ing the opposite side of this topic, it must be admitted that the much-abus- ed bachelor is possessed of some very good traits. He generally has a doz- en or more of other people’s children to look after, which he does carefully and it makes him feel good to be call- ed uncle, regardless of age, sex or previous condition of the self-styled nephews and nieces. Young ladies when preparing to entertain compa- ny or-enter society like bachelor un- cles to practice upon. They think with the rest of the world, that these old lads have no hearts, and may be used as lay figures. Any young girl is glad of the chance of going out with a bachelor uncle, because he takes such good care of her and knows where the nicest suppers and lunches are to be found. However, they do not like the bachelor for a beau—only for an uncle. It is a mis- take to think bachelors are heartless. How could they become so popular with children and young people i they were? Only those who are bachelors because they can get no one to marry them are cranky and uncongenial. Could you look into the hearts of many of those who wear the name of bachelor you would find it a misnomer, hidden away from the gaze of the world, and out of sight of trusted friends, is the image of a soul wife to whom they are true and faith- ful; whose memory is fondly cherish- ed, and whose honor they respect. Upon the altar of the heart there burns with undiminished brightness the flame that was kindled in the noonday of youth, or in manhood’s early morn, while yet love was young and ardent. Years have come and years have gone, and still the shrine has been kept pure. Years may come and years may go, yet every day will find ‘the faithful votary there with his offering of white doves. Now a part- ing salute to our maiden friend in who it is quite evident has not made a superficial study of the bachelor. The best thing she can do is to cultivate the acquaintance of those who are such from choice and not from physical or mental defect. She will in that event, no doubt, find them delicious. And, as to the bache- lor, there is little doubt that marriage would make him a much happier or a far more miserable man than he is. CASTORIA ‘Bears the signature of Chas, H.Fletcher.

On Saturday, April 28th, Mrs. Hen- ry Mowery gave a birthday dinner in honor of her husband, Henry Mowery, who on that day celebrated his 69th birthday.

That Dull Aching Don’t worry and complain about a bad back. Get rid of it! For weak kidneys, lame and achy backs, your neighbors recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read this statement. Mrs. C. Young, Potter St., Belle- fonte, says: “For more than a year I suffered from a dull ache in the small of my back. It was sore and tender and if I bent over, I could hardly get up again. I never felt able to do any housework. I had a languid feeling all the time and in the morning I didn’t feel like getting dressed. I was troubled a lot by diz- zy spells and the kidney secretions were unnatural. Doan’s Kidney Pills had helped so many people around here that I procured some at Green's Pharmacy Co. The first box cured me. It has been three years now since I have had any trouble from my back or kidneys. Price 50c, at all dealers.
