PLEASANT GAP.
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.
