The following day he and his wife tried it out by motoring to Bellefonte, taking supper with Mrs. Harpster’s sisster, Mrs. Roan. It was somewhat late when they returned home, but Mrs. Harpster got the sur- prise of her life to find the housse filled with friends, as a surprise for her birthday anniversary. The affair had been planned by her husband. That a woman can fool a man, at least on special occasions, was demon- strated by Mrs. Elmer Rossman last Friday evening. Through the assist- ance of a nearby neighbor her hus- band was induced to take a trip to State College. He returned about nine o’clock and his wife met him at the door and asked if he had closed the door of the hen house. Before Mr. Rossman could answer the lights were turned on and four of his lusty neighbors grabbed him and carried him into the room which was filled with friends. The affair, a complete surprise to Mr. Rossman, was given in honor of his 37th anniversary. Re- freshments were served and it proved a very merry party. Mr. Rossman received many useful presents to re- mind him of his natal day. CENTRE HALL. Received too late for last week's issue. Mr. and Mrs. S. W.

Henry Ford has opened a campaign in Austria for “a car in every fami- ly.” He announces that the well known flivver will be placed in Austria garages for nothing down and 350,000 kronen, or $5, weekly. The total cost of a Ford in Austria is 50,000,000 kro- nen, or $720, so the easy payments will take three years. Inasmuch . as several substantial, natty cars even cheaper to run are manufactured locally at the same price, the easy-payment scheme has been ‘introduced in hope of diminish- ing competition.

MAGNUS IN THE SENATE. “One swallow does not make a sum- mer,” neither would the election of a silly, visionary radical like Magnus Johnson to the United States Senate, taken by itself, have any great sig- nificance except as it may demonstrate the tendency of the electorate to suf- fer from periodical dementia and to seek in some new political adventure a remedy for its economic ills, a spe- cific for its hypochondriasis, an outlet for its temporary delirium. This is not the first time that the dignity of the Senate has been affronted by the election of some asinine burlesque pol- itician to sit in that august body hal- lowed by the memory of John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, John Caldwell Calhoun, Daniel Webster, William Henry Seward, James A. Garfield and a host of others among the eminent statesmen of America. Taken by itself, the election of Johnson means nothing. The sover- eign State of Minnesota has the privi- lege of making itself ridiculous in the eyes of the nation and the world. In the East we sometimes send me- diocre men to the Senate. They are invariably, however, men of education and attainments. They are persons of breeding and refinement. They have a regard for decency. Magnus marks the crest of the wave of hysteria that carried such men as Shipstead, of Minnesota, and Brook- hart, of Iowa, into the United States Senate. The wave will subside and those States that, carried away by a momentary ' madness, have elected these men, will doubtless be heartily ashamed of themselves. For the time being they are as impervious to argu- ment as would be a lot of raving lu- natics. The situation is not particularly dangerous. The East and the South and some of the Western States have sufficient serious minded men to keep the boat from rocking too violently. Moreover, the United States Senate is a much bigger proposition than some | of these demagogues realize. There is no place where a man’s measure is more quickly taken. Like water, these rambunctious Near-Reds find their level with remarkable facility. Magnus will not look half so big to himself in the Senate Chamber as he did in the wilds of Minnesota. His bellowing, if he assumes to bellow at all, will take on a different note. The soft pedal will be used on his vocal or- gans. Toughened though he may be, he will learn to respect the gavel. He will realize that the United States is not such a small proposition as he thought. While it may be impossible to teach him manners, he will learn the mean- ing of law and order. He will learn that even Magnus Johnson must sub- mit to legislative discipline. It will not be surprising if during the first few months he will have some of his rough edges worn off and polished down. Western tornadoes may be all right in Minnesota but they don’t fit into the atmosphere of Washington. LaFollette himself has never been a dangerous man. His measure was taken early in the game and he was made to sit down where he belonged. Yet he is a man of parts. Alongside of Magnus he is a giant. He is skill- ed in debate and knows all the tricks of the trade and all the pitfalls of his profession. He can associate with men of education and refinement with- out making a spectacle of himself. Yet he has never been dangerous. His demagogy is of the transparent kind. It gets him nowhere. How much less dangerous will such a man as Magnus be! Can any one MEDICAL. Some Good Advice Strengthened by Bellefonte Exper- ; iences. Po» Kidney disease is too dangerous to neglect. At the first sign of backache, headache, dizziness or urinary disor- ders, you should give the weakened neys prompt attention. Eat little meat, take things easier and use a re- liable kidney tonic. There’s no other kidney medicine so well recommended as Doan’s Kidney Pills. Bellefonte people rely on them. Here’s one of the many statements from Bellefonte people. : Mrs. Boyd Vonado, E.. Bishop St., says: “Some time ago my kidneys were in a weak condition. I could hardly rest at night and during the day when I was on my feet doing my house work my back gave out and ached so I often had to stop and rest. I frequently had dizzy nervous head- aches and my kidneys acted too often. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills purchased at the Mott Drug Co., and they just suited my case. They rid me of the backaches, headaches and dizziness. My kidneys were regulated and I felt fine.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.

The sting of ridicule will pierce even his toughened hide. There you'll stand, Mag, before all those Senators. They’ll be too polite to snicker. But if you could read their thoughts—Oh, Mag, if you could read their thoughts! Would you not wish that the roof of the Senate Chamber might fall upon you—and them, and crush the life out of all of you?
