Bellefonte, Pa., May 19, 1922.

PLEASANT GAP.
A tureen social will be held at the
Methodist parsonage this (Friday)
evening. Everybody is invited.
Frank Barnes, one of the Whiterock
employees, has quit his job and has
accepted a position as meat cutter in
Confer’s meat market.
Prof. Shannon, our efficient High
school teacher, who spent Sunday
with his estimable wife at Watson-
town, was promptly back on his job
Monday morning.
Butcher Lex has closed his meat
market for the present and has gone
to Renovo with a view of engaging in
business there, if he can find anything
that appeals to him.
Harry Hartline has returned to his
old profession, that of conducting a
bakery. He has accepted the position
of head baker with the Kerstetter
bakery at Curwensville.
Mrs. Paul Keller and daughter, of
West Philadelphia, have been spend-
ing the past week with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Noll Jr, and
friends. They will return home the
latter part of this week.
It is impossible to keep a live wire
man from enjoying himself. Our good
neighbor, T. E. Jodon, lost his large
touring car a few weeks ago. The
machine went up in smoke. It was a
total loss, aggergating $1000. As we
predicted Tommy is now sporting a
spick and span new car, and he con-
tinues to enjoy himself as heretofore.
Maurice Knoffsinger, aged 19 years,
an employee of the Whiterock quar-
ries, while engaged in drilling a rock
preparatory to blasting, was struck by
a rock from overhead, weighing over
100 pounds, and had his left leg brok-
en some six inches above the knee.
He was hurried to the Bellefonte hos-
pital where an amputation will no
doubt be resorted to.
This being the last week of our pub-
lic schools at the Gap the children are
jubilant in consequence, and are stu-
diously keeping tab on the few more
days that they will be subjected to
confinement. To the credit of our
teachers it must be said that all did
justice during the term towards our
young and rising generation. If there
was any room for criticism I would
surely call the turn on them, but luck-
ily we have no cause for complaint.
Mankind are more defensive than
they are offensive. The fury of the
elements and their social relativitis
put them more on the defensive and
cause them to live in obedience to law
rather than contend against it. Unre-
strained and unimposed upon they are
naturally peaceable. If this were not
true there would be no social compact
at all. All his movements are but
manifest effects of certain causes that
compel him to act thus and so; and
when he sees them organizing them-
selves against the rigid enforcements
of nature’s law of supply and demand,
which they must sooner or later all
succumb to, they are simply endeav-
oring to defend themselves against
themselves, which they can come
about as near doing as they can to
lifting themselves by their boot straps.
When capital begins to combine it is
not for the purpose of robbing but for
the purpose of protection. Their prof-
its are declining and this is the effort
to restore them; and the result of the
combination is that some of them are
compelled in obedience to the law of
supply and demand, to go out of bus-
iness despite all efforts at resistance.
When labor begins to combine it is
because they are getting too plenti-
ful. But nothwithstanding their com-
bining and striking they have finally
to take less wages; but it is useless to
“kick against the pricks” because the
law that governs these things is more
indefatigable than humanity itself.
Really combination does not effect
anything only the embittering of hu-
manity against each other. It is cer-
tainly not consistent, is hardly. moral,
and can therefore result in no good.
Those who are troubled with nerv-
ousness, neuralgia and shifting pains
know what physical unrest is, and
they will all agree that it is a terri-
ble thing. The trouble is with most of
us, we are dissatisfied with the con-
ditions existing. Milton says: “The
mind is its own place, and in itself
can make a heaven of hell, a hell of
hegven.”
at is about the size of it. Men-
tal unrest, while not painful, is more
disagreeable than physical unrest.
The dark, spreading wings of melan-
choly cast their shadows athwart the
mental horizon, shutting out the
cheerful rays of hope, cutting off the
atmosphere of contentment and filling
the soul with a feeling of distrust. If
the mind is at ease the whole man
may be comfortable, but if not there
is no rest for him. It is possible for
the mind to rest when the body is far
from being comfortable. This is
shown in such cases as that of Alex
H. Stephens. There was scarcely a
comfortable muscle or organ in his
whole body, yet he enjoyed mental
rest above that of many of his com-
peers.
Charles Sumner with all his great-
ness, his towering intellect and his
high position among the sons of men,
suffered continually from mental un-
rest. While Stephens was enjoying
refreshing intercourse with his
friends, or sleeping as quietly as a
tired boy, Sumner paced the floor of
his lonely room, unable to stop the
trains of thought, thundering through
his prodigous brain.
Unrest affects all classes. Those
possessed of active minds feel it more
than those who are dull, while the
finely formed and well developed usu-
ally suffer more from physical unrest
than the more ungainly. No matter
where you find some types of mind
they are sour and discontented. They
may have fabulous wealth at their
command and the world of pleasure
at their feet, yet their skies are cloud-
ed, their pillows uncomfortable and
their pathway narrow. Such as these
are not disposed to make the best of
their opportunities. They want to be
something they are not, and that with-
out going through the prescribed
channels. For instance,
is managing a ranch; the owner of the
little grocery was, in his mind, intend-
ed for a lawyer; the book-keeper to
become a financial magnate; the sew-
ing girl sees in her face and figure
the lineaments and graces of the so-
ciety belle; the bus-conductor has a
scheme that only requires time and
money to put him at the head of a
great manufacturing concern, the hor-
ny handed bricklayer knows that he
ought to have been a spiritual build-
er of churches, and the chap who de-
lights to tell more than he knows feels
slighted because he is not taken by
the collar and waistband and chucked
into the editorial chair. Pluck is a
great thing but there is a time when
battles must end, when human nature
must give up. Fate seems to have a
hand in it all.
Some people are born mean while
others thrust themselves into mean
ways. By meanness I mean a dispo-
sition to injure or render others un-
comfortable. It matters not in what
manner these results are reached. It
amounts to the same in effect. There
used to be among the state officials of
France a Diabelaine—a tormentor. At
first this officer was connected with
the church of inquisition, but after the
virtual separation of church and state
he became an attache of the latter.
The office has never been abolished,
but of recent years it has been vacant.
The duties of the Diabelaine were to
make it hot for those for whom the
powers had no use, or towards whom
there was not a kindly feeling. It is
said that even the life of poor Joseph-
ine was made more miserable by this
official devil than it otherwise would
have been. The circulated rumors,
resurrected old stories and invented
new lies when necessary.
Just here it is well to observe that
the principal duty of a devil is to lie,
which probably led to the scripture
statement that Satan is the father of
lies. Shakespeare says that some
men lie with such volubility that you
would think truth a fool. Isn’t it
rather strange that any one should be
a born liar? Yet it is so. How many
of your acquaintances can you recall
just now who occasionally indulge in
lying?. There are falsehoods and
there are lies. One makes a false
statement unintentionally; that is not
a lie. It has been held by some very
good people, such as bishops, prelates
and standard moralists that there may
be occasions when men are justified in
telling a falsehood. Such an occasion
would probably be when the false
statement would be of great advan-
tage to the one making it, and no dis-
advantage to others. The literary
world is full of falsehoods. Even
nursery books, which are filled with
admonitions against the sin of lying,
abound in fairy stories, romances and
tales, in none of which is there a par- |
ticle of truth, except as they portray
nature. There is no fact in fiction,
yet there may be a good, clear distinc-
tion between romance and fiction,
falsehood and lying.
The true and literal meaning of the
term devil is tormentor—one who an-
noys, injures, aggravates. Therefore,
to annoy or injure others is to be dev-
ilish. Isn’t there lots cf devilishness
in the world ? There are a great many
born devils, no one can doubt. On
every hand can be seen those who have
no regard for truth. They neither
speak it nor act it. Their lives are
lies from beginning to ending. Lying
does not consist alone in speaking
falsely for the purpose of injuring

prolific of bad results; for, if there
should be doubts as to the reliability
of the word of a person, his conduct
and actions are appealed to. Those
who live and act lies, are the born
devils.
The liar, or devil, who abuses the
confidence of innocence, is the worst
of the lot. A man may be excused, in
a way, for bringing a fellow man down
from a position of comfort or even of
opulence, to one of poverty and dis-
comfort, or for robbing him to supply
his own wants, or even giving him
false impressions of his neighbors or
friends, but for one who wins the con-
fidence of innocence and abuses it
there can be no excuse.
The question arises right here, how-
ever, that such an one isa born devil
and cannot help being true to his na-
ture. There are those who instinct-
ively seek to blight and ruin inno-
cence and virtue. It is as much their
nature as it is the nature of a born
thief to steal. The first account we
have of such a case is that of Satan
in the Garden of Eden. In this same
account is a suggestion as to the prop-
er treatment of such characters—
