PLEASANT GAP.
Mrs. Jacob Corman is spending a
few weeks with her husband at Lock
Haven.
Clayton Reish, manager of a private
fish hatchery near Allentown, was a
week-end visitor here among his for-
mer friends and associates.
The thief who depends on pilfering
for a livelihood is only kept from
stealing everything he sees through
fear of being caught. Were the law
against robbery suspended for a time,
what a lot of thieves we would have!
In the days when modesty was at a
premium, we designated them as
limbs; now, since they are boastingly
becoming such a common commodity,
exposed openly and defiantly to the
public gaze, they are known as legs.
We are surely growing weaker instead
of wiser.
Deep, thorough plowing, with a
good point, is the initial act in busi-
ness of every farmer; and to make
his vocation a success, this signal in-
strument needs not only to be run in-
to the soil of his field but must also be
made to run through every area—so-
cial, political, financial and commer-
cial that bears any relation to him.
It often happens that a young man
finds his girl is in love while he is only
in fun. He regrets that she is tak-
ing it so seriously, but lacks the cour-
age to talk with her plainly on the
subject, and in the fond hope that she
may outgrow it, he 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 miserable for a
time, he marries her and makes her
miserable all the time.
He, only, is a true statesman whose
labors are devoted to the preservation
of liberty, and that man who enters
the field of politics for the purpose of
furthering some private scheme of his
own, or engages himself in the inter-
est of any one class of the people, un-
less it be for the purpose of counter-
acting some untoward policy of anoth-
er, is not deserving of the honor of
statesman, nor should he be entrusted
with the affairs of a people whose hap-
piness depends upon the preservation
of their liberties.
Mr. Emerick, our energetic bus line
manipulator, had his snow scraper at
work on the state road and made a
superb job up to the forks of the road
at the Gap, but for some reason did
not extend his work up to the post-
office. In consequence some of our
girls are indignant and declare to get
EVER ; they will re-
sort to walking into town and return.
Owing to the prevailing style of ex-
treme short dresses here, it is doubt-
ful if they will carry out their threat.
They might freeze their much expos-
ed “legs.”
Miss Virgie Bilger returned home
on Friday evening last, from an ex-
tended trip east; the trip of her life.
Her nephew, Frank Rockey, extensive
hardware merchant, of New York city,
motored here in his touring car, and
prevailed upon his aunt to accompany
him home to New York city. They
motored from here to Scranton and
remained over night with Mrs. Bender
and family. Mrs. Bender, by the way,
is o sister of Miss Virgie. The fol-
lowing morning they journeyed to
their destination in New York, after
which the Rockeys and Virgie pro-
ceeded to see about all that could be
seen for one straight week. They took
in the greatest of shows, the Hippo-
drome, and innumerable other sights.
They also motored through the State
of Vermont; Virgie said it was a very
fine trip, but says Vermont is not in
it with old Pennsylvania. On her re-
turn home she stopped with her sister,
Mrs. Bender, at Scranton, four days.
“Christmas at Golden Gulch,” an in-
teresting play in two acts, will be

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Period of Good Will and Kindly
Thought for Others, Most im-
portant on Calendar.
HAT if, as a Scrooge-like
cynic intimates, the Christ
mas spirit comes to us
but once a year, not even
he will attempt to assert
that we are not the better for it. Think
what it would mean if that period of
good will and kindly thought for
others were dropped from our calen-
dar. No blessed interruption to our
too generally self-centered lives; no
yearly oasis of brotherly sentiment to
purge us, however temporarily, of self-
Ishness and cause us, if only for a
few days to think of making others |
happy.
Pre-eminently the children’s festi-
val, as of right it should be since it
commemorates the nativity of the
Christ Child, it transforms us all,
whatever our years, into children of
larger growth. We experience anew
the glad expectancy of childhood, the
thrill that far surpasses any realiza-
tion, and find our greatest pleasure in
the simple childish emotions of love
and joy.
And this is the noblest Christmes
gift, the gift of the true Christmas
spirit that captures and takes pos-
session of each one of us, “Except ye
be converted and become as little chil-
dren ye shall not enter into the king-
dom of heaven.”—Pittsburgh Dis-
patch.

PEACOCK PIE FOR CHRISTMAS
Gaily Plumed Bird Formerly One of
the Principal Delicacies at Yule-
tide Feasts.
HICKEN pie, beefsteak ple.
and pumpkin pie, not for-
getting apple pie and cheese,
the great American institu-
tion—all of these have a
familiar ring to our ears, but who
of us has ever tasted the famous
English dainty of dainties, peacock
pie? Yet at one time, this was a
IUVULILT Onis sotasie a LE
of cere-
brought in with a great deal
mony by the lady, most distinguished
in all the company for beauty and high
position. Many times this dish was
garnished with the head and tail of
the peacock in such a way as to ap-
pear that the bird was alive. Knights
made vows over it to break spear in
defense of beauty and distress. It was
this ceremony which gave rise to the
once popular oath “by cock and pie.”
Probably the use of the peacock
pie as a Christmas dish arose from
the old belief that the flesh of the pea-
cock is incorruptible which of course
would make it a symbol of immortal
ity and new life.
To the people of today the peacock
is a symbol of vanity.
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. I 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. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
