- PLEASANT GAP.
The good die young, it is said, but
it is difficult to see why they should.
If heaven controls the lives of individ-
uals, it would seem more probable
Ya the vicious would be the first to
all.
How natural it is to write about that
which hangs heaviest upon your mind.
Perhaps you have noticed when you
were in love, or had been invited to a
picnic, or had a jolly lark in view, how
difficult it was to write a note to the |
coal man, give the washer woman her
orders or talk to a friend for five min-
utes without getting in a few words
about your prospective happiness.
That’s right. It is the talk about un-
pleasant things that makes the world
as cold and dreary asit is. 'Twere
heaven itself if every one would look
upon and talk about the pleasant side
of life. Did it ever occur to you that
there is a class of writers and talkers
who do not speak and write that which
most absorbs their minds not even al-
lowing it to tinge the thoughts which
hey give to the public? It was ever
thus.
Beatty Tate says as a rule, men are
bigger fools in matters pertaining to
love than women. Come to think over
the proposition, Beatty’s conclusions
are plausible. Do you not know of
more men having committed suicide
on account of love affairs than wom-
en? Have you not known of more
men making spectacles of themselves
on account of being side-tracked or
going wrong because of “a cross” in
the love wires, than women? Statis-
tics show that there are more men
sent to the asylums by that con-
sciznceless little busy body, caprice,
than women. Can you think just now
of as many women of your acquain-
tance who have gone to the bad on ac- |
count of love as you can of men? As
women are particularly loud in their
clamors for justice, at this time,
would it not be a strong point in their
favor to show that in this matter of |
love they are stronger-minded and
more level-headed than men?
Pleasant Gap has not had as many
movings for years as we had on April
1st. Next to moving will be house-
cleaning. Then the actual trouble be- |
gins. One of our neighbors says “the
devil will be to pay, and owing to the
high cost of living there will be noth-
ing to pay him with.” If a man has
any business away from home, this is
the opportune time to attend to it.
He can be of little use at home, unless
he joins the gang. To attempt to do
business and live in the house may
set him crazy. If not so bad as that
it may derange his liver and make
him cranky, which is all the worse, for
if there ever is a time when a woman
is queer it is during house-cleaning.
She is then a sovereign ruler and will
tolerate no interference. One day of
sunshine in spring will work a won-
derful change in a house at such
times. The comfortable, tidy dress
gives place to a ripped and slit wrap-
per; rings and bracelets are laid aside
with bangs and collars, whole shoes
give place to ragged ones supplemen-
ted by an old pair of rubbers, while a
towel takes the place of the neat and
becoming dusting cap. Did you ever
notice how unsophistically a woman
begins the spring cleaning? About
‘the first move is to turn everything
topsy-turvy in her bed room. The
“next is to pile things up in the parlor
i had been an auction in it.
Mrs. John Gramley and Miss Mar- 5 1shve them so, Thus She goes
through the house until there is not a
room that does not look as if there
With all
carpets loosened and stair rods re-
moved, a man is in danger of falling
! and breaking his neck. Now a wom-
lan is ready to begin business. -She
has everything before her and she
knows just what is to be done; with
torn and bleeding fingers, knees sore
and stiff from crawling over the car-
pets, she rushes in. About the only
indication that heaven has a hand in
the affair is that the woman has torn
everything up from cellar to garret.
The bridges are burned behind her,
and she must fight the engagement to
a successful issue. The result is that
house-cleaning is over in a week,
whereas if it were done a room at a
time it would last all summer. But,
like Noah’s dove, she has not where to
set a foot. Men often object to hav-
ing the house all torn up, but it is
clear they do not take a philosophical
view of the matter. “The fiercer the
storm the sooner it is over,” applies
beautifully to house-cleaning. There-
fore, it is better to let it rage and
spend its fury. There is a great deal
of nonsense about spring cleaning,
also a great deal more fuss made over
it than there is any necessity for.
Women get excited and work them-
selves sick; men get nervous and bil-
ious, while children feel at liberty to
do as they please. A clean house is a
good thing, but not good enough for
what it often costs. If a house is kept
as it should be it does not need a spe-
cial cleaning in the spring. The best
time to clean house is after the days
have become warm enough to allow
the windows to remain up all day
long. Whatever else is done do not
put carpet down on a damp floor. Life
is not se short, nor the emergency so
great, that a house must be cleaned
all in one week; neither is the neces-
sity for so doing such as to justify
any woman in killing herself, in or-
der to get through with it as soon as
some of her neighbors. That peculiar
quality of solar energy that sets a
flowing the vital currents in the shrub
and tree, starts boys to jumping rope
and flying kites, arouses snakes from
their lethargy and calls forth the mod-
est daffodil, has a most marked effect
on women. Like the birds, they begin
to sing earlier in the morning than us-
ual, and are fretful as porcupines.
- Carpets, wall paper and whitewashing
are their chief topics of conversation.
A cob-web in the corner annoys them
dreadfully, and a dirty window ren-
ders them nervous and ugly. Men
might also take a hand in the picnic,
not that they are likely to do a great
deal of good in the way of cleaning,
. but the favorable impression they will
make on their wives. Men as a rule
usually rejoice when the circus is over
and contentment and happiness again
prevails. “Let us have peace.”

Plenty of Proof
From People You Know—From Belle-
fonte Citizens.
The greatest skeptic can hardly fail
to be convinced by evidence like this.
It is impossible to produce better
proof of merit than the testimony of
residents of Bellefonte, of people who
can be seen at any time. Read the
following case of it:
E. J. Eckenroth, painter, Main St.,
says: “As every one knows, men
who follow the painting business are
! troubled more or less with their kid-
neys. I have used Doan’s Kidney
Piils whenever bothered by my kid-
neys and they have always given
good results. My advice to anyone
having kidney complaint is to take
Doan’s Kidney Pills.”

turned from the Bellefonte hospital,

ance.

Spring Ailments done
ESTAURANT.
Relieved by a Well-Known Medicine
of Superlative Merit.
Spring ailments are due to impure,
impoverished, devitalized blood.
Among them are pimples, boils and
other eruptions, loss of appetite, that
tired feeling, a run-down condition
of the system, and sometimes chronic
weaknesses made worse.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla combines the
roots, barks, herbs, berries and other
medicinals that have been found, in
many years of intelligent observation,
to be most effective in treatment of
these ailments. i
Successful physicians prescribe
these ingredients for diseases of the
blood, stomach, liver and kidneys, and
in cases where alterative and tonic
effects are needed.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the spring
medecine that purifies, enriches an
revitalizes your blood, increasing
power of resistance to disease.
