    ORANG FEARED THE CAMERA
Photographer's Presence of Mind
Probably Saved Him From Death
or Fearful Injury.
As a rule orangoutangs, the fiercest
of the apes, are caught young and
tamed before they are shipped to Eu-
rope and the United States. One of
these animals that arrived in London
came with the best of characters. He
was considered a very tame, steady-
going creature, and an expert was en-
gaged to photograph him.
The man entered the orang’s cage
as he had entered many others. He
had not exposed many plates before
he saw that the animal was intent on
mischief. He was a very powerful
beast, and the man would have stood
no chance at all if the orang had at-
tacked him.
The man’s only chance was to use
the camera as a weapon. Making a
sign to the keeper to keep silent, the
photographer pointed his hand camera
at the orang and with slow and steady
step approached him. The keeper was
outside the door ready to open it; but
neither of them uttered a sound. The
photographer was relieved to sce the
orang gradually retreat and at the
same time to be able to rise from the
crouched and menacing position he
had taken. Once the creature was on
the move the man knew he had a
chance. He succeeded in working the
orang around to the corner furthest
from the door, which the keeper had
silently and slowly opened. Still point-
ing his camera at the beast the man
very slowly backed out of the cage,
the door was slammed to and he was
safe.
COMPLETE WORK OF TODAY
Unfinished Tasks Simply Mean That
One Has Placed a Mortgage
on His Tomorrow.
en
Leave today’s work undone and you
mortgage tomorrow. And tomorrow
may bring the big opportunity you
have been looking for so long.
Try to keep tomorrow for yourself.
Try to keep it free. Don’t load it up
with work that should be done when
you leave your desk tonight.
You never know what it may bring.
You never know what chances there
may be tomorrow—if you have it clear
—to show somebody who can pay &
big salary what you can do.
Your days are important, every one
of them. Bach has its own work that
must be done.
Start every day with a clean sheet.
Say: “This is the work that is to be
done today—that must be: done to-
day.”
Then do that work, and do not leave
any of it hanging over into the next
day.
Once fall behind in your work and
your tomorrow will soon be mortgaged
for a long way ahead. That means
wage slavery. It means lack of a
chance to seize opportunity—or to
make opportunity.
Look forward to your tomorrows as
days of achievement—days in which
to plan and do new tasks—not to fin-
ish old ones.
You will be glad to see them then. |
You will be glad of the fresh eight
hours that can be employed in some-
thing that is valuable and interesting.
—John Blake, in Chicago Daily News.
Burro Saw the Point.
One who knows says that some peo-
ple claim that animals can’t reason,
but if they were around burros awhile
like he was when he ran a burro train
up in Colorado they’d change "their
minds.
One of the burros fell down in
crossing a stream and he was loaded
with sugar, and it took about fifteen
minutes to get him on his feet and his
load didn’t weigh more than half as
much when they started out again.
For months afterward that critter
always contrived to fall down when
crossing a stream of water.
It didn’t lighten his load any, for the
driver never trusted him with sugar
any more, but he still had hopes until
they happened to load him with
sponges one day.
That cured him. — Los Angeles
Times.

Arab Puts Comfort First.
The beautiful villas that remain in
Algeria are Moorish villas, for the
Arab does not care for things artistic
and comfortable that other races of
the earth demand. If he were given a
house he would first remove ihe doors
and burn them; he would next drive
a hook into the facade to hitch his
mule to, and then he would abandon
the chimney-place inside the house
and build his fire in the middle of the
room, defiling all the walls with
smoke. His personal ideas of comfort
come first.
The Algerians are not like the
French. They are different in man-
ners, customs, habits and morals, says
Charles Divin in the Century. Even
the Arab remarks it, and calls all peo-
ple who come from France “Parisian
Romans.”

Novel Idea of Aviation.
A certain Francis Lana, some two
centuries ago, worked out to his own
satisfaction that a vessel, with its air
supply exhausted would. sustain itself
suspended in the atmosphere. He pro-
duced such a vessel but there is no ev-
idence to show that his scheme was
ever attempted as an air-machine.
Now women and children can fly
through the air, and fhat so simply
that the children make pictures of
their flight, and think no more of it
than they do of going by train, or by
boat.
Draw Your Own Inference.
“The old-fashioned girl would give
you a lock of her hair, but she would
not give you a kiss.”
“Well 2”
«The new-fashioned girl has too
many beaux to spare all that hair.”—
Louisville Courier-Journal.

Bellefonte, Pa.
Why You Should Make aWill
To protect your loved ones.
To safeguard your estate.
By making a Will you can appoint the Bellefonte Trust
Company as your Executor or Trustee.
Vou can thus assure to your heirs the business manage-
ment and financial responsibility which this institution affords.
Vour wishes can be observed in the distribution of your
property, for if you do not leave a Will the law may divide up
your possessions in a way that you might not desire.
How Have You Made Your Will?
Do not write your own Will. “Home-made'’ Wills are
dangerous and often cause law-suits, because, when drawing a
Will the law must be known, both as to wording and terms.
Consult a lawyer today about the making of your Will and have
him name the Bellefonte Trust Company to act as your Execu-
tor and Trustee.
