PLEASANT GAP.
That stinginess that keeps people
from spending money foolishly is a
virtue.
Our enterprising butcher, Joseph
Lex, expects to reopen his shop in the
near future.
Mr. and Mrs. Collins Baumgardner
motored to Tyrone on Sunday to
spend a day with friends in that thriv-
ing little railroad centre.
The only way to make chronic
grumblers repent of their folly is to
increase their calamities until they
can see that their former condition
was the happier.
Only thirty per cent. of the legal
voters of the South precinct of Spring
township cast their ballots at the re-
cent primary election. About the
same percentage of men and women
responded.
It matters not of what people ac-
cuse you, you are not justified in hold-
ing them in contempt, because that is
a propensity of vicious minds, and,
therefore, cannot be assumed in dem-
onstration of superior virtue.
Dr. Barlett left for Scranton, on
Monday, where he will be in the lime-
light at the great Masonic blowout in
session there this week. Dr. Dale, of
Bellefonte, is looking after the doc-
tor’s patients during his absence.
Three auto loads of old-time gypsies
pulled up to the cross roads at the
Gap last Sunday, and dispensed with
a sumptuous lunch on the Ephriam
keller lawn. They were quite orderly,
and attracted a crowd of observers.
Harry Corl and wife, of Wstmore-
land county, were over Sunday visit-
ors at the home of Mrs. Jonathan Bil-
ger. Mr. Corl returned hame on Sun-
day evening but Mrs. Corl was pre-
vailed upon to remain here for several
weeks.
Mrs. Swoope’s genteel canvass at
the Gap in the interest of her husband
was quite prolific in results at our re-
cent primary, as predicted. The
shrewd lady gave it as her opinion
that he, only, isa true statesman
whose labors are devoted to the pres-
ervation of liberty.
The Deity has created man for ac-
tion, and surrounded him with every
means to develop it. When a small
boy with face aglow, straining every
nerve to get the most marbles, he is
the same as though the scene was for
a race for Governor or the business
patronage of the community.
Good is seven times more influen-
tial than evil; salt is seven times
stronger than the thing it preserves;
the right amount of good performed
on Sabbath day would save the evil
of the other six days, but alas, much
of it is divided into doing homage to
evil even by professed christians
themselves.
The closing of the old landmark, the
Centre County Banking Co., two
weeks ago, has caused no more alarm
than the falling of a leaf in this com-
munity. Our people seem to have the
utmost confidence in the honesty and
integrity of the stockholders of the
institution. Some of the depositors
may be slightly inconvenienced for a
time, but all seem satisfied that mat-
ters will be satisfactorily adjusted in
course of time. Instead of condemn-
ing and denouncing the unfortunate
institution, all view the situation in a
philosophical way. The sympathies
of our people are with the bank.
About half of our high school pu-
pils participated in the county high
school athletic events on Hughes field
on Saturday, all of whom were elated
beyond expression. Pleasant Gap
boys and girls joined the races, the
shot put, the ball throw and the
broad jump, every feature of which
bids fair to result in lasting benefit.
The praises sounded by our represen-
tatives are numerous. Efficiency, en-
durance, stronger muscles, faster and
deeper respiration, dilated arteries,
development of skill and physical vig-
or are apparent conditions. Learning
on the athletic field increases the re-
serve power of the mind. Jean Noll,
Vera Hile, Ida Markle, Ruth Barner,
Leonard Peters, Walter Wolford,
George Caber, Randall Keller and Da-
vid Weaver were active participants.
The joys the day afforded will not be
forgotten. Our entire community

will get a very full return from the
opportunities the contest afforded.
When a cool-headed woman sets
herself to entrap a man she is very
apt to succeed, especially if she is
nearing that age when ladies object
to leaving the family record where
every Tom, Dick and Harry can get
at it. She may love him, and she may
not. If she does not she will proba-
bly tie him with her apron string, and
go on striving to catch one who suits
her better. You may be sure she will
not let her prisoner loose until after
she has entrapped another more to
her liking. She is not to blame for
trying to get a lover to her taste, but
it is rot exactly right for her to keep
a poor fish on the trout-line until it is
starved or worn out, and then throw
it back into the stream again when
she gets another. There is probably
more dishonesty practiced in match-
making than in any other branch of
business pertaining to society. Shrewd,
ambitious mammas resort to a varie-
ty of tricks to get their children well
fixed in life, but not more than the
children themselves. They study to
seem what they are not, adopt methods
which would be considered dishonora-
ble in business affairs, and bring in-
fluence to bear that would shock a
politician. Men profess to be highly
moral put on the appearance of being
in easy circumstances, and even go so
far as to make great pretentions as to
what they are worth. The facts may
be exactly the reverse of all this, their
sole object being to get wives who are
able to keep them.
The woman who falls a prey to a
swindler of this stamp is truly an ob-
ject for pity, but not more so than the
man who gets roped in by a woman
who marries merely to keep out of the
old maid row. In such instances there
is no rest, no happiness, no comfort,
but it is their own choosing and they
must abide the consequences. How-
ever, the young man who is not smart
enough to discover that he is being
played for oysters, ice cream, picnics,
balls and operas, deserves to be pinch-
ed severely. It may be no fault of
his that he is so short-sighted, for he
may have been born that way, yet a
real hard pinch may improve his
sight. The same may be said of a
majority of the young ladies who suf-
fer from laceration of the heart. Civ-
ilization refuses to sanction any style
of test beyond that of honest public
marriage.
Young people should be honest
enough towards each other to make
their intentions known. If they are
going together for fun, it had better
be understood. If the friendship de-
velops into love there will be no trou-
ble in adjusting matters to the change,
and if it should not, or if new attach-
ments be formed, neither party can
charge the other with unfaithfulness.
Young men often regret that their
spouse takes love matters so serious-
ly, but lack the courage to talk with
her plainly on the subject, and allows
her to drift on and on until at last he
is compelled to abandon her abruptly
or marry her. If he is tender-hearted
and does not want to make her miser-
able for a time he marries her—and
makes her miserable for all time.

. Visitors this year find a striking
significance in the origin of the play
because of the recent prevalence of
contagious diseases resulting from the
famine in Russia. It was due to the
terrible pestilence ravaging that coun-
try in 1683 that the survivors of Ob-
erammergau in the following year
vowed to give a representation of the
life of Christ regularly thereafter as
an atonement for their sins.

es from Bavaria show that the high
character of production, which has
characterized the performances for
more than 280 years; has been main-
tained, both as to the calibre of the
cast and the scenic equipment. The
management has been bombarded
more than ever with financial schemes,
all of which has been declined scru-
pulously in the spirit of the original
vow. The lofty ideals inspiring the
cast and producers are further enun-
tional friendship. It was proposed
that the play should be staged, as at
Oberammergau, in a huge open-air
theatre in New York, with Lang head-
ing the cast. Whatever profit might
be made, the American syndicate pro-
posed, could be devoted to the popu-
lace of Oberammergau.
“The good and friendly people of
America,” said the proposal, “would
receive you with love and send you
back with benedictions and dollars.”
Lang, an upland villager, replied
modestly thanking the syndicate and
expressing appreciation of the spirit
of the offer, but declining because to
do so would make him feel like an
“uprooted tree.” He agreed that a
new international spirit of kindliness
should prevail, and that the Passion
Play well could contribute thereto,
but continued:
“I am not a professional actor; I am
in Oberammergau and cannot give up
the conditions and traditions of my
village. The Passion Play for us is
the fulfillment of a vow which our an-
cestors have given. We shall never
forget this fact. Were I to do so, it
would undermine the power of relig-
ious experience which has enabled me
to give any performances, and I
should not be able again to properly
impersonate the Saviour.”
He also revealed the fact that an
American offer was rejected in 1914,
providing for high weekly salaries for
himself and two other members of the
cast.—Reformatory Record.
