The Misses Amanda Haines and Lo-
die King, and Mrs. Mothersbaugh and
son Daniel have returned to their
homes here for two week’s vacation.
Samuel Weaver and family are vis-
iting friends in Millheim.
Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Jodon and Miss
Anna Rimmey spent Sunday in Mif-
flinburg.
Miller Herman, College township
farmer, was in evidence at the Gap
last Tuesday.
Rankin Tate and wife spent last
Sunday with the family of Weaver
Witmer, up Buffalo Run.
A genial smile on the face is like
the sun in the heavens—giving light
and life to all it shines upon.
Mrs. Martin Viehdorfer and son Ira,
of Pine Glenn, spent several days at
the home of Charles Schreffler.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pecht and O.
M. Loneberger took an outing at Ni-
agara Falls, making the trip by auto-
mobile.
Samuel Noll Esq. and Ward Hile
spent the week-end in Harrisburg and
Middletown. Business and pleasure
combined.
Miss Marion Gettig, our efficient as-
sistant postmistress, resigned her po-
sition with a view of taking a six
week’s course at State. She will be
missed.
Frank Britz, a prominent steel man
of Woodlawn, arrived here Monday, to
spend a brief time with his wife and
daughter, who are paying an indefi-
nite visit with the John T. Noll fam-
ily.
The recent dry spell knocked out the
everbearing strawberry crop, but re-
cent rains have started the blossoms,
and ere long we will have a come-back
of the luscious berries. The older va-
rieties have run their normal course.
Mrs. Frank Boob and four interest-
ing children, of Union county, motored
to the Gap a few days ago to visit
Mrs. Harry Hartline and family. They
remained all day and had a most
agreeable time, returning home in the
evening.
A bunch of our enterprising citizens
have under consideration the erection
of a town hall, since it has recently
been demonstrated that our churches
are lacking in point of room to ac-
commodate our well patronized enter-
tainments.
Whoever heard of a funny woman?
The coutry is full of funny men either
alleged or real. Why not funny wom-
en? Surely the men cannot be blamed
for fencing them out of this field, be-
cause it is open on all sides, and may
be occupied without hindrance.
The Titan Metal Co. is evidently do-
ing well. Four of their employees from
the Gap have been going to work at 4
a. m. most of the week. This indi-
cates prosperity. Our men are mak-
ing over time while in many places
men are cut down to half time.
We had counted on having at least
about a one-third apple crop, but our
anticipations were exaggerated, as the
few apples on the trees are falling oft,
so we will be obliged to look for ap-
ples elsewhere, and from government
reports the outlook is very discourag-
ing.
Paul Waite and family, who had
their abiding place at Niagara Falls
the past five years, have returned to
Pleasant Gap and will in all probabil-
ity make this their future home. The
old saying that “chickens come home
to roost,” will in all probability be
verified in this instance.
Whiterock fired another kiln on
Monday and under the stringent times
are doing their utmost to give steady
employment to their old stand-bys. A
number of outside men apply daily for
work at Whiterock. The corporation
feels like taking care of their own, and
their men are beginning to appreciate
the course adopted.
Wilse Bilger, formerly dealer in
spirits but at present engaged in the
legitimate profession of running a
meat market in Bellefonte, was an
over Sunday caller with his mother,
Mrs. Jonathan Bilger, of Pleasant
Gap. The old and highly respected
lady has passed her 90th milestone
and has been slightly indisposed for a
week or two, but is gradually conval-
escing.
The Spring township school board,
owing to our gradual increase in pop-
ulation, has about decided to add one
more school to Pleasant Gap. The
various grades have been overburden-
ed. They allege that from fifty to six-
ty scholars for one teacher to handle
and expect results is simply out of the
question. Another evidence that we
are growing and not in danger of be-
ing eliminated from the map.
The failure of our plum crop is a
sad calamity. Plums are the best can-
ning and drying fruit grown, and are
especially fine for jellies, preserves
and sauces. A few trees in the yard
arc a source of delight, for no fruit is
better for eating out of the hand.
Plums are termed the poor man’s fruit
because the trees thrive anywhere pro-
ducing fruit in spite of neglect. It is
one of the most profitable fruits that
can be grown, the very best for home
gardens.
Fred Lose has secured a position at
Woodlawn as watchman at the Jones-
Laughlin works. Fred moved his fam-
ily into the Hunter Myers property
adjacent to the mountain at the up-
per end of the Gap. He was unable
to secure a house at Woodlawn. Some
three or four of our boys have landed
lucrative positions at the big steel
works. Former guard Mock, who was
stationed at the Gap for two years, is
now one of the live wire men at the
great steel corporation. It was
through his influence that the Gap
boys secured their appointments.
Mr. John Herman and wife, of Phil-
adelphia, are here on their vacation.
They are dividing their time in visit-
ing friends at the Gap and Bellefonte.
The young couple say they like the
Quaker city very much but admit they
enjoy a visit to old Centre county im-
mensely. They are both greatly de-
improving their sidewalks, which will |
have a tendency to greatly beautify !
our thoroughfare. The new road was
constructed in a substantial and at-
tractive way, and will prove quite ben- |
eficial to our people, since real estate
values have already increased twenty-
five per cent.

The McNitt-Huyett Lumber Co. are
running their new saw mill on the
Loneberger tract at full capacity. The
tract will yield nearly 30,000 railroad
ties besides the other innumerable
products, such as chemical wood, mine
props, telephone poles, etc. Some of
ou amateur lumbermen were at first
under the impression that the McNitt-
Huyett Co. would be losers on the in-
vestment they think differently now;
what McNitt and Huyett don’t know
about the lumberinng industry is not
worth knowing. There is little de-
mand for ties at this time owing to
the unsettled railroad conditions. After
readjustments the situation will be
different. Millions of ties are needed
on the various R. R. systems, and ere
long will have to be acquired.
Some people are never satisfied. The
man with a family of boys curses the
luck that sent them. If they were only
girls he would have a fortune within
his grasp. He refers back to Mary
Anderson, who was notcd for coining
money; and the famous Patti, who
rolled in wealth. The boy is making
scarcely enough to clothe himself, and
1 have to board him. Yes, give me
girls every time. His neighbor, who
has a large crop of girls goes around
pulling his hair and asking the gods
what he has ever done to merit their
displeasure. He is willing to trade
two girls for one boy, because he can
find something for the boys to do
whereby he can earn his board. Prob-
ably he succeeds in trading a girl off
and gets a young man in the family,
only to find that he still has the girl
to keep, likewise the young man, and
their family. “Such is life.” Mixed
families, I rather think, are the most
desirable.
The Children’s day exercises on
Sunday evening last in the Methodist
church proved a great success. The
church was packed to overflowing, and
quite a number had to return home
without enjoying the festivities. The
children were well drilled and did
their part exceedingly well. Rev. Pi-
per delivered a most fitting oration
suitable to the occasion, which was
highly appreciated by all present.
While the children acquitted them-
selves admirably well not all the cred-
it belongs to them. The parents took
a great interest in the way of aiding
and encouraging their offspring. The
mother educating the child gives it
resources that will endure as long as
life. The early instruction imbibed
from a parent’s life has the strongest
influence in forming the future char-
acter. And happy indeed would it be
if the result were always the forma-
tion of a manly and noble character.
The earliest spring time of human life
is replete with the most tender inter-
est. Of all the acts of folly and cru-
elty of which parental blindness can
be guilty, there is none more to be la-
mented than that which. from the
pride of display, or even the more
generous desire for improvement, in-
duces any on to press on infancy the
task fitted for youth, or demand from
youth the wisdom of manhood. Just
as soon as the mental powers are over-
taxed a change takes place through-
out the whole system, and disease su-
pervenes.
We had three marriages at Pleasant
Gap the past three weeks, the con-
tracting parties making due allowance
for the weakness of each other and
bear each other’s burdens. The mar-
ried state is the natural state for man,
and the one he should aim to reach
and honor. He is guided toward it by
instinet, gravitates toward it natur-
ally and is aided in reaching it by the
customs of society. When he enters
it deliberately and with the intention
to be useful and happy in it, he will
be, provided he is supported in his de-
termination by the one whom he has
chosen to be his confident companion
and partner. Paul said to Timothy
that it was better not to marry. He
evidently did not mean that for all
classes of men, but for such as Timo-
thy and himself. Their callings re-
quired them to lead rambling, unset-
tled lives. Marriage is a serious prop-
osition; one not supposed for a brief
period but for a lifetime. It is-better
for any man not to marry until he is
settled down. If he must wander from
place to place, he had better do it
alone. The man who is away from his
home a great deal cannot become at-
tached to it as closely as he ought.
It is not home to him when he returns
once a month, or two or three times
a year. In that event he is only a vis-
itor, and feels that he is only such. To
enjoy a home one must become accli-
mated to it, feel drawn towards it, and
have a desire to reurn to it whenever
separated from it. The man whe is
at home wherever he hangs up his hat
has no home at all. Neither has the
man whose presence is not a source
of happiness in his domain. The mar-
riage problem is a serious one.

It is said that the cemetery rule
against planting of flowers on the

such flowers as ramble and become

was all done long-hand, a work that
few of his age would have the

You have a right to doubt state-

can you doubt Bellefonte endorse-
ment? Read it:
James H. Rine, 239 High St., says:
“My back was in such a weak condi-
tion I couldn’t put my shoes on and
could hardly drag myself around. I
had very severe pains all through my
back and limbs. I used Doan’s Kidney
Pills for these troubles and they cured
me. I know of others to whom I have
recommended Doan’s and they have
hoon cured of backache by this reme-
vy.”
Over three years later, Mr. Rine
added: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are cer-
tainly a wonderful kidney and back-
ache remedy. It was ten years ago
that I first used them and I haven’t
been troubled since. I recommend
Doan’s whenever I hear any one com-
plaining of backache or kidney weak-
ness.”

Fellows’ ritual was observed. The
speaker, Judge Johnson, was intro-
{ duced in a handsome speech by Hon.
{ C. L. Gramley. After the ceremonies

Henry Meyer Sr. has among his lit-
erary relics an original signature of
{ the pioneer of Brush valley, Anthony
Bierly, in German script. He wrote
it “Biehrly,” which, however, was a
variation of the original signature in
the Colonial Records by Melchoir
Biihrly, this being the German spell-
ing in 1734, which has been changed
into Bierly, Beirly, Birely, Byerly and
Beyerle, according to fancy. Col. Hen-
ry Shoemaker, of McElhattan, spent
some time in the Rhine country, from
which most of our Pennsylvania Ger-
mans emigrated, following the reli-
gious and political wars and the dis-
tinction of Universities, churches,
schools and homes by the regnant dev-
ils of the age of beastly intolerance
and “holy” massacres of the inno-
cents, by “church” authority. Col.
Shoemaker, in a pamphlet, states that
he found in that region inhabitants of
the same names as the original Ger-
man settlers in Pennsylvania. The
transition of names is as interesting as
that of customs and sentiments. For
example, Schumacher has become
Schomaker and Shoemaker; Moyer,
Meyer and Mayer; Hockenbirger,
Hackenberg, Hackenberber and Hock-
enberry; Spingler, Spangler, Speng-
ler; and so on. But the staid, inde-
pendent, liberty loving characterist-
ics of the race still remain.
