“Bellefonte, Pa. September 15, 1922. HOPE ON. There was never a day so misty and gray That the blue was not somewhere above it; “There is never a mountain top ever so bleak That some little flower does not love it. “There was never a night so dreary and dark “That the stars were not somewhere shin- ing; “There is never a cloud so heavy and black “That it has not a silver lining. “There is never a waiting time, weary and long, “That will not some time have an ending; “The most beautiful part of the landscape is where The sunshine and shadows are blending. Into every life some shadow will fall, But heaven sends the sunshine of love; Through the rifts in the clouds we may if we will See the beautiful blue above. Let us hope on though the way may be long And the darkness be gathering fast; For the turn in the road is a little way on, Where the home-lights will greet us at last. mnie CENTRE COUNTY VETERANS HOLD ANNUAL REUNION.

Miller. Like one that on a handsome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on And turns no more his head; Because he knows a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread. —Ancient Mariner, This topic is one bearing more or less on superstition. If you were passing through a lively piece of country after night, and there were two roads leading to where you were going, one of which passed by a grave-yard, and the other, although considerably longer, didn’t pass with- in sight of the ghostly spot, which would you take? Answer this before reading any farther, and answer it honestly. : Of course you would. Nine out of every ten would do the same hting. By so doing you will not be confessing to a belief in ghosts, spooks, disem- bodied spirits; only admitting a frail- ty common to the human family. It is not necessary to stop here to argue that there are no ghosts, but intelli- gent people do not believe in them. Now, this may be putting it a little too strong, for there are some very good people who believe in ghoss, haunted houses and evil spirits. Such beliefs are much more common in Great Britain than in this country. Ireland has the reputation of possess- ing more superstitious inhabitants than any other country, but the facts show that it is scarcely on a par with England, Scotland or Germany. The latter is not so much after ghosts as either of the others, prefering gob- lins, spirits, gentle spirits and omens. These gentle spirits are supposed to shape the destinies of men, bring health or disease to the flocks, rain or drought to the crops, and peace or war to the nation. They do not pro- fess to know the nature of these in- fluences, how they work or what laws | control them. They are as much ag- | nostic in regard to these minor mat- ters as of the greater mysteries of nature. There is no denying the fact that we are all touched with supersti- tion. It seems to have been born in us, and no amount of schooling or training will thoroughly eradicate it. Comparatively few believe in ghosts, yet none, or at least very few can honestly say they are not afraid of haunted houses, grave-yards and places where strange lights have been seen, or queer sounds heard. Indeed, it is the fewest number who are not | more or less afraid when alone after nightfall, either in doors or out. Sounds which would not be noticed in daylight, or when there is company present, become unusual noises. Shad- ows take specter-like forms, and the and if stocked with them could be made to yield an income while the process of reforestation is going on. The animals should not be introduc- ed uncontrolled into places where their activities may menace irriga- tion or power ditches, important road or railroad grades or agricultural dis- tricts. A suitable food supply and permanent water should be assured. MEDICAL. Don’t Mistake the Cause Many Bellefonte People Have Kidney Trouble and Do Not Know It. Do you have backache ? Are you tired and worn out? Feel dizzy, nervous and depressed? Are the kidney secretions irregu- lar? Highly colored; contain sediment ? Likely your kidneys are at fault. Weak kidneys give warning of dis- tress. Heed the warning; don’t delay— Use a tested kidney remedy. Read this Bellefonte testimony. Samuel Weaver, S. Water St., says: “My kidneys troubled me some time ago and I almost got down with back- ache. Mornings I felt so lame and stiff I could hardly bend to put on my shoes. During the day I suffered ter- ribly and my kidneys acted irregular- ly. ‘1 used Doan’s Kidney Pills bought at Runkle’s drug store and they help- ed me by strengthening my back and kidneys and benefitting me in every way.” ; Price 60c, at all dealers.

How many are there who do not whistle or hum the air of some good okd hymn, and walk brisker than usual, on such occasions? It is usual to account for this state of affairs by attributing it to inherited superstition. This seems to apply well enough to the belief in ghosts and supernatural manifestations, but 1t does not cover the matter of temer- ity. For this some better cause, or causes, will have to be assigned. This is not a difficult task if science is not nerve stimulant. Darkness must be the reverse, as it is the correspond- ing ‘to the positive known as light. When the stimulus is removed, the tone of the entire system is lowered. This is so marked in nearly all spe- cies of birds that, with the approach of darkness they become drowsy and seek their roosts. They are also more easily frightened. This is due to the well established fact that nerves which have become weakened, and have lost their tone, are more easily disturbed than when in proper tone. This ap- plies with equal force to man, as many events which can easily be recalled will clearly show. That which would create no fright at all in day time may start a panic at night. Armies take advantage of this well- known disposition and make night at- tacks. The best time is thought to be just before daybreak in the morning, for then the sleepers are more drow- sy than at any other period. If sur- prised at such time they are apt to break in all directions, become confus- ed and fall an easy prey to their as- sailants. It is to prevent such catas- trophes that picket guards are strengthened at night, and all of the posts required to stand at arms for an hour before daybreak. The latter re- quirement is rarely enforced except when there is a possibility of an at- tempted surprise. If the surprise part of the program miscarries the at- tack is given up, because men do not fight well in the dark. They lack steadiness and self-control. n——————————————— Beaver Culture a Means of Fur and Forest Production. Although the practicability of bea- ver farming has not been fully dem- onstrated, the United States depart- ‘ment of agriculture believes that the business of raising beavers for their fur may develop under proper control measures, into a profitable branch of fur farming. With a small beginning the enterprise seems to promise an advanee to good returns and even great possibilities. A fertile field for beaver culture may be found in connection with pro- jects for the reforestation with con- ifers of burned or cut-over timber- lands. Many of these areas, cleared by ax or fire and later covered with a second growth of aspen, willow, and pin cherry, are for the time consider- ed almost worthless. Over much of the northern border of the United States and still larger areas of Cana- da where such land is found it is gen- erally unsuited for agriculture and would not pay taxes until again cov- ered tvith valuaple forest timber, but barred.
