HOPE ON.
ti
There was never a day so misty and gray
That the bule 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 shadows and sunshine are blending.
Upon 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 abovve.
Then let us hope on, though the way 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.—Anonymous.
NERVOUS ENERGY.
By L. A. Miller.
I have noticed that crime is at its
lowest ebb just after a Presidential
election, and at its height at the open-
ing of the campaign. Make a note of
this and see for yourself. There are
so many strange phenomena ccnnect-
ed with the human nervous system
that it is hardly safe to denounce any-
thing as nonsense that comes under
that head. When a man may believe
he is somebody else, or that he is an
animal, or that he sees things that no
one else sees and all is just as real to
him as life itself, what may not be?
It is not unusual to hear nervous
persons say they feel as if they want-
ed to yell with all their might, or
wanted to break something or do
something that would require extra-
ordinary effort. Mrs. Martin Van Bu-
ren, as was testified to in court, used
to ask her coachman, when driving
along the streets of Buffalo, to drive
out to some place where she could
“scream and yell” as she felt she
would certainly explode if she didn’t.
Next to screaming and yelling
found most relief in crying.
Mrs. Martha Washington, according
to good authority, permitted no person
to enter her room for eighteen months
before she died. The only living crea-
ture allowed to pass the door was a
cat, and for its better accommodation
a piece was cut out of the bottom of
the door and a swinging gate out on,
which the cat soon learned to operate.
Mrs. Washington’s spells, as the serv- |
ants called them, frequently lasted
for a day or two, during which she
would moan and sob piteously.
Almost every delicate woman, and
in fact nearly every woman, will say,
if placed on the rack, that she often
feels like hurting or destroying some- |
thing. There may be a few husbands
who might give some valuable infor-
mation on this point. Some take
spells of singing, pounding the piano,
scrubbing, lifting or moving furni-
ture, or going among the dry goods
and jewelry stores to assist in keeg-
ing the clerks busy. Sick headache is
another popular way of getting rid of
this accumulated force; nervous head,
ache is another, and making things
lively for the children and the old man
another.
Women, however, are not so much
worse than men in this way, only they
are generally more sensitive and show
it more. Men have better opportuni-
ties to utilize or dispose of this sur-
plus. They can stand on the corner
and talk politics as loud as they want
to, scuffle, lift weights or get drunk.
The periodical drunk is a favorite way
of working it off. A man feels all on
nettles; he is restless, snappy, and out
of sorts. Things are too slow and no-
body seems to be right. The climax
comes and the sufferer is soon as hap-
py as a lord. It may be months be-
fore he touches liquor again.
A dog fight, horse race or boxing
match answers the purpose with some,
and there are a few who can only be
satisfied with a good body-beating.
One of the singular things about this
condition is the desire to do that which
the person knows to be wrong. It was
stated by a physician, in an article on
nervousness, recently, that a Bishop of
the Methodst church came to him in
a great state of mind over the fact
that when he took one of his “spells”
he couldn’t help swearing. So far he
had been able to keep the profanity
from the ears of others, but it trou-
bled him wonderfully.
‘A model christian lady, well and
favorably known, said to her physi-
cian not long since, that she was real-
ly afraid that she was becoming “pos-
sessed,” for whenever she became
nervous and a certain desperate feel-
ing came over her, she was sure to
say a bad and unbecoming word, and
like the captain of the Pinafore, she
said it with a big, big, “D.” After
ripping out one or two of that kind
and kicking the wall a few times she
would feel better.
Examples might be multiplied in-
definitely to show that surplus nerve
force is developed and stored up in
the system, and that it becomes nega-
tive, producing results directly oppo-
site to those desired. It is more than
probable that what is generally term-
ed abberation of the mind and tempor-
ary insanity are nothing more than
the action of this surplus negative
force on the brain. For the time be-
ing, or until it is expended, this force
controls the mind and prompts wicked
and violent actions, such as murder,
suicide, arson, brutal assaults, theft
or malicious mischief. The excite-
ment of battle is productive of a great
deal of this . explosive nerve force.
Men yell from the word go until they
are shot or something happens, When
the fighting point is reached the nerv-
ousness changes almost instantly from
the trembling stage to the yelling,
dashing, killing stage.

PLEASANT GAP.
| Received too late for last week,
The sisters of the Methodist League
has a very respectable atendance on
Saturday evening, at Noll’s hall; a
satisfactory amount of cash was real-
ized to satisfy their ambition.
! Mr. and Mrs. Paul Keller and
daughter Betty returned to their home
in Philadelphia, Sunday, after spend-
ing a very pleasant week with their
numerous friends and relatives here.
Saturday night last Mr. and Mrs.
H. J. Crumlish had a taffy pulling par-
ty, when all participants returned to
childhood days. The twenty invited
guests surely had the time of their
life; the event was superlatively well
managed and all were delighted. It
proved a great success.
Mrs. Harry Hartline has posted sale
bills. She will expose a nice line of
useful furniture, hogs, chickens, etc.,
on November 11th, at 1:30 p. m. The
week following they expect to move
to Berwick, Pa., where Mr. Hartline
has engaged in the bakery business,
and from all reports, is doing exceed-
ingly well. The community will miss
this good family.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Noll entertained
on Tuesday evening in honor of their
brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Keller and daughter Betty. Some
twenty invited guests were present.
The popular game of .500 was the
leading event of the evening; the dis-
tribution of prizes were, first, to Mrs.
H. Griffith, and booby prizes went to
Mrs. Keller and Mrs. Gelhaus. All
were delighted with the evening’s en-
tertainment as nothing was left un-
done for the comfort of the jolly par-
ticipants.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Witmer, of
Bellefonte, entertained at the Mason-
ic camp, at Snow Shoe Intersection,
last Tuesday, Hallow-een’ eve.
Luncheon was served in profusion.
Among those present were, Mr. and
Mrs. A. B. Williams, of Tyrone; Mr.
and Mrs. H. J. Crumlish and Betty,
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Noll and Sam-
my, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Griffith and
Betty, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Kerstet-
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Noll, Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Keller and daughter. The
affair was inaugurated in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. Keller, of Philadelphia.
At the recent sale of the late Harry
E. Zimmerman, the little forty-eight
acre farm was sold for $3,850, which
is a fair consideration—but the fine
brick residence of sixteen rooms, and
outbuildings, was sacrificed for $4,500,
which is very little more than half
value, since the completion of our
state highway. It is needless to say
‘that a half dozen of our citizens feel
{like kicking themselves for being ab-
sent from the sale. It was anticipat-
ed that Roy Zimmerman intended buy-
ing the same, but he, in the meantime,
purchased the Valentine farm, where
he is now a tenant, for $17,000, and
that was a sufficiency for him. Unfor-
tunately the other three heirs were
thus thrown off their guard, resulting
in the low price attained.
| Mrs. Rockey, the good, generous
‘daughter of Mrs. Jonathan Bilger,
i telephoned out to the venerable Mrs.
' Bilger on Hallow-een’ evening to be
_in readiness as she was going out in
her auto to bring to Bellefonte Mrs.
| Bilger and daughter Virgie. The
schedule was promptly carried out,
and Mrs. Bilger, who has just passed
her 92nd summer, says the event was
simply wonderful, reminding her of
similar doings in the Hallow-een’ dem-
onstrations some eighty years ago.
This was surely a kindly act on the
part of Mrs. Rockey. Dollars to dough-
nuts that no one witnessing the elab-
orate demonstration enjoyed the event
more than did Mrs. Bilger. Even at
her advanced age she is a game sport,
and enjoys hugely such hilarious oc-
casions.
Select Your Breeders Now.
After every pig crop there are a
bunch of boars and gilts, the majority
of which will eventually find their way
to the pork barrel, by way of the fat-
tening lot. Many more could be in-
cluded in the feeder class, since they
never will develop into the most de-
sirable breeding individuals. The
breeder of pure breds must always
bear in mind that “the best is none
too good.” «A good start in the breed-
ing game should be followed by a con-
stant improvement of the herd,
through the selection of outstanding
females from the litters and the im-
portation of better sires, says farm
agent J. N. Robinson.
At this time of year the matter of
selection is of first importance. The
fall litters have reached the point
where at least 50 per cent. of the
pigs can be sent to the fattening lots,
there to be prepared for the pork bar-
rel. Most of the boar pigs, and a
good many of the females, will return
the greater profit in this way. The
demand for boars in Pennsylvania is
very limited, and seldom should the
boar pig be kept unless it is one of
exceptional excellence. All other boar
pigs should be castrated at once.
With the pork stock weeded out,
considerable time should be given to
the development of the good boar, and
the gilts that are kept for the breed-
ing herd. They should have plenty of
growing bone building feeds and a
good sized lot of exercise. As quick-
ly as one of the selected group de-
velops a serious defect, send it to the
fattening pen. Do not labor with a
bunch of inferior pigs expecting to
make breeding individuals out of
them. They make better market hogs.
Spend the extra effort on a few good
ones, rather than a bunch of mediocre
pigs.

Quite a Stunt,
“You see that stout old chap in the
corner ?”’ asked Jones.
‘My boy, I just hang on from day to
day, keeping my nose ahove water by
the skin of my teeth.’ ”—Los Angeles
Times.
“Yes. What about him?” replied
Smith. ?
“He’s a wonderful acrobat.”
“Go on! He looks like a stock
broker.”
“So he is.”

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
© By Margaret H. Barnett.
A long time ago, a great poet asked
the question, “What's in a name?”
He followed the question with the
would smell as sweet.” To the poet,
a name seemed a thing of small im-
portance. He could enjoy the beauty
and fragrance of the rose, no matter
by what name it was called. But no
one could have made him believe that
a symplocarpus foetidus was a rose,
even if it were labeled with that name.
One need not consult an encyclope-
dia to find out that the poet was not
an American, and that he lived before
the era of American politics. If he
were an American citizen today, he
would know that in politics, at least,
a name is a thing of great importance,
sometimes the only thing of import-
ance. He would know that many vot-
ers would accept any swamp cabbage
that was labeled with the name of
their favorite party rose, especially if
the party rose had been a favorite of
their grandfather also. :
Recently, a voter, an intelligent bus-
iness man, was discussing the political
situation. He denounced, unqualified-
ly, one of the candidates for an im-
portant office. But after he had crit-
icized, and denounced, and condemn-
ed the candidate of his party, he ask-
ed mournfully, “But what am I to do?
I couldn’t vote for a Democrat.”
That one sentence tells the secret
of many of the ills which, at present
affect the Keystone State. There are
many citizens who vote year after
year, guided only by the party name
under which a candidate’s name is
printed on the ballot, voting, some-
times, for candidates whose only qual-
ification to hold office is their party’s
name.
Because large numbers of voters can
be depended on to vote in this way, it
is possible for a political party to get
into power, and to continue in power,
yeay after year, even though the
State’s treasury is robbed from time
to time; even though there is extrav-
agant and unnecessary expenditure of
the money which the people are heav-
ily taxed to raise; even though pay-
rolls are padded, and the salaries of
officials are increased in defiance of
the Constitution.
No great vital issue divides the
principal parties in Pennsylvania to-
day. Voters, therefore, should care-
fully study the candidates for office,
their records and their mental and
moral qualifications for the offices
which they seek. Election returns
should record the results of this care-
ful investigation, instead of record-
ing merely the fact that a certzin
number of voters always vote with a
party of a certain name.
On questions of importance, politic-
al parties will act as political expe-
diency seems to demand. Voters,
therefore, should see to it that in pol-
itics right and expediency mean the
same thing.
What Pennsylvania needs today, is
a State government that is adminis-
tered honestly, economically and effi-
ciently, a government that is admin-
istered in the interest of the people of
the State at large, not merely in the
interest of those who desire to hold of-
fice. Some office-holders do nothing,
while in office, but hold office.
To secure such a government, and
to perpetuate it, there must be, back
of its officials, an honest and intelli-
gent electorate, an electorate which
holds the ballot in the respect to which
it is entitled; an electorate which ex-
ercises the right of suffrage as care-
fully and as conscientiously as its im-
portance demands; an electorate
which would scorn to sell its votes,
and which regards a mere party name
as of as little importance as a name
was to the poet.

Curious Place Names.
It is a generally accepted principle
of every-day life to let each man de-
cide the spelling and pronunciation of
his own name; but if this practice
were applied to cities and States the
world would have to learn its geogra-
phy lessons over again.
For example, Spain, whose peopie
have done so large a share in the nam-
ing of New World places, is Spagna
to the Italians, Espagne to the French,
and Espana to the Spanish them-
selves. And this, as an arbitrary
name, carries much better through the
languages than one which is a descrip-
tive term, like “the United States,”
which can be directly translated into
the various languages.
The French call this country Etats-
Unis, but Vereinigte Staaten is the
German translation of the same idea.
The “New” in the name of our chief
metropolis is generally retained in its
American form by the French and
Germans, but translated by the Span-
ish and Italians. The former speak of
Neuva York. The Mediterranean Sea,
the Mare Internum of the Latins, is
variously translated. The Germans
express the same idea in Mittellaen-
disches Meer.
In the new words that come to the
front there is doubtless a growing ten-
dency the world over to adopt as near
the home equivalents as possible.
Real Thanksgiving.
The bachelors of a certain town
were alarmed by the arrival of a man-
hunting spinster.
They were all afraid she would
choose them for her special attention
and allurement.
However, their fears were allayed
when she chose the young rector, and
the approaching wedding was an-
nounced.
‘So relieved were they that they
joined forces and presented the hap-
py couple with a costly dinner serv-
ice.
“What a magnificent service!” gasp-
ed the bridegroom when he saw it.
“Well, you see,” explained the
spokesman of the party, “it’s really a
thanksgiving service.”

HOODS SARSAPARILLA.
Is Your Blood Good
or Thin and Watery?
You can tell by the way you feel.
You need Hood’s Sarsaparilla to
make your blood rich, red and pure,
tingling with health for every organ.
You need it if weak and tired day
in and day out, if your appetite is
poor, sleep unrefreshing,—for hu-
mors, boils, eruptions, scrofula, rheu-
matism, headaches, nervous prostra-
tion. It is simply wonderful to give
strength to your whole body.
It is agreeable, pleasant and con-
venient to take, and embodies a long-
tried and found-true formula. 67-34

And the great artist replied: ‘No, |
paint them as they ought to look.”
GRIFFON CLOTHES
are not made to make men look as
they are, but as they ought to look.
They build a man up. They often give
him a grace of carriage and shapeli-

Their wonderful styling has played no
