It is your own fault, not the dogs nor tramps, if these pests visit you too frequently. Russell Grove, of Lemont, has been visiting his grandma, Mrs. John Her- man, the past week; a portion of his time being spent along the trout streams fishing. Our efficiently managed tea room, adjacent to the postoffice, is now pre- pared to serve meals at all hours for tourists and the public generally. A capital idea since our hotel is a thing of the past. 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. Our postoffice still exists and our friend, George Showers, is the newly appointed postmaster. We are all satisfied that our new government of- ficial will render the best of satisfac- tion to all the patrons of the Pleasant Gap postoffice. People knowing their own little- ness, and surfeited therewith, cannot bear with the weaknesses of others but seek in them something better and therefore something that will strengthen instead of impair their lit- tle remaining strength. We had a slight frost on Monday morning but from personal observa- tion little damage was done. The plum and cherry trees are out in blos- som, but the outlook for peaches in this vicinity is not very encouraging. However, they may recuperate some, as the season is about three weeks later than usual. Billy Ross says some men would like to make sausage out of their wives, and some want to eat them raw; the same class make bologna out of dogs, and corned beef out of horses and sick cows, hence it is that corpse come in play from the people who eat the production. Yes, we have a wonderful country. Prof. Treister’s High school and Harry Breon’s grammar school closed last week. Our three other schools will close in a few days. Two of our teachers, Harry Breon, and that most superb primary teacher, Mrs. Grove, formerly Miss Barnhart, have each taught 24 years consecutively. Like Bourbon, they seem to increase in ef- ficiency as time rolls by. Frank Mulfinger, one of our old- time Gap boys, is spending a brief time with his father, John Mulfinger. Frank served in the world war, and after returning home wended his way to Akron, Ohio, in search of employ- ment. In this he was successful, landing a very trustworthy position with the Akron Rubber Co. He likes his new field of labor so much that he has not been home to visit his numer- ous friends here for some years. Everybody is delighted to know that Frank is making good. I was just thinking what wonderful changes take place in even a half cen- tury of time. About sixty years ago that good old citizen, the late Henry Brockerhoff, dealt rather largely in whiskey in a wholesale way. French- ville and a number of Clearfield towns were regularly supplied by him. I noticed time and again when large shipments were received that oft- times the barrels parked reached from one end of the Brockerhoff block to the other. I remember well when the barrels lay there for a few weeks at a time unguarded and unmolested. If such were the case now in this Vol- stead age how much would be remain- ing the morning following the day it was placed there? Echo answers none. Our present generation boast in this instance is verified—we are surely growing “weaker and wiser.” Mrs. Mary Lex returned from a vis- it to Renovo a few days ago. She went there to visit the numerous friends and relatives of her husband, Mr. Lex, and while there took in a very elaborate and select banquet, over two hundred of the better class of the community participating, and quite a number of outsiders being in attendance. A number of Pittsburgh people were also in evidence. Mrs. Lex says it was the finest and best managed affair she ever attended.

(—— ) -— She says everybody seemed so cheer- ful, happy and contented, and you know if we are cheerful and contented, all nature smiles with us, the air seems more balmy, the skies more clear, the grass has a brighter green, even the flowers have a more fragrant smell, the little birds seem to sing more sweetly, even the sun, moon and stars are brighter anc more beautiful. Mrs. Mary will never forget the glor- ious occasion. Now then, since the great national conventions are about or nearly due, we can look for an overflow of elo- quence and oratory sufficient to star- tle the world and the rest of mankind. It must be admitted that the utterance of thought and feeling in a pure, clear, pleasant tone of voice, is a most agreeable and praiseworthy accom- plishment. It is to the credit of the orator that, in all ages since history began to record the details of the lives of nations, his voice has, in the great majority of cases, been raised on behalf of the people and with the intent of obtaining benefits for them. Tyrants have always stifled the voice of the orator, who is the mouthpiece of the masses in the main. The ora- tor shows to the rulers and inhabit- ants of republics, empires and king- doms where reforms are needed and arouses public sentiment in a reme- dial way. Speaking and reciting are probably numbered among the arts and sciences for the orator. As a rule an orator can sway the masses of the people so they are mere putty in their hands; he can do with them what he pleases, and either restrain them from committing excesses or impel them to the perpetration of most horrible crimes; he exercises an influence for right or wrong which no other man can possess or wield; he can throw a spell around the people of a nation and render them obedient to his will; in short, the orator is a man who, in consequence of his power over the minds of men, his capability of stir- ring up passionate hatreds, patriotic frenzy or unreasoning fury, anger and rage, can prove. either a menace or a blessing to his country. It can be readily seen, therefore, why those whose ambition leads them to seek to rise above the common level and tread the flowry paths of oratory should see to it that they master all the elements which combine to make a man a suc- cess in his chosen profession. Speech- es are mere words, but these words sink into the hearts of men and are treasured in the memory. The orator should carefully weigh his utterances. Yes, the wind-jamming season is about here.
