PLEASANT GAP.
Society like butter, must be contin-
ually stirred else it will burn.
Rush Larimer, who has been on the
sick list for some time, is improving
slowly.
Mrs. Will Grove and family were
guests at the Harry Bilger home last
Sunday.
The dance in Noll’s hall, on Wed-
nesday night, was well attended and
all report a jolly good time.
Miss Kittie Wion, of Bellefonte,
was a guest at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Ward Showers, on Wednesday.
Everybody seems tired of the con-
stant rain. When the drouth sets in,
there will be just as much discontent.
One of our widowers wants to know
if it would be cheaper to marry than
to hire a housekeeper. Girls take no-
tice!
Over-joy as well as sorrow is ex-
hausting to the nerves; be ye there-
fore temperate, even in your hopes
and fears.
If you put yourself in harmony with
the laws of nature, God and society,
we will guarantee you happiness, long
life and prosperity.
Mrs. Jack Noll attended the card
party given by the C. D. of A, in
Bellefonte, Friday night, and proved
the winner of the first prize, a pyrex
baking dish. Experience in the little
enticing game usually proves a win-
ner.
Supt. Ray C. Noll made a business
trip to Philadelphia in the interest of
the Whiterock Quarries. He was ac-
companied by his father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Noll, who are vis-
iting their daughters, Mrs. Paul Kel-
ler, Emeline and Helen Noll.
Harry Hockenberry, one of our re-
liable citizens, has his application fil-
ed at Rockview for the position of
guard. It is to be hoped he will be
successful in receiving the appoint-
ment since he is so admirably adapt-
ed for the position in question. If
appointed he will make good.
Joe Smoyer and family made a trip
to Cresson on Sunday, bringing their
daughter Clara home for a week’s va-
cation. She has been at the sanitor-
jum for two years, and is gaining in
weight and greatly improved in her
physical condition. Miss Clara speaks
in the most complimentary terms of
this grand old institution; she says
the sanitorium is all and more than is
claimed for it by the management.
A mistake is not such a terrible
thing if you profit by it, for then the
good that it does you compensates
somewhat for your inadvertence, and
thus mistakes may bear with them a
certain amount of remedy, unless it
be a mistake in marriage; but even
here it is a mooted question on which
side the mistake is, and if as some
contend, it is on both, one then bal-
ances the other, and of course where
accounts are square there can be no
mistake.
Squire J. Duncan Herman has re-
signed his position at the Titan Met-
al Co., and gone back to his former
job as a guard at the Rockview peni-
tentiary. The ’Squire is well fitted
for this position. He is fearless, yet
conservative. He don’t fear the face
of man or the discredit of woman. He
fears only the wrath of God. His
many good qualities were instilled in-
to him by good and wise parents. He
will not be an amateur in his new ap-
pointment, having served in the same
capacity for some years.
Forbearance is a prime virtue, and
one that cities as well as individuals,
should practice constantly. If this is
not done, each will become prejudiced
towards the other, grow selfish and
enter upon a decline. Some of our
oldest cities are declining, and will
continue to do so unless their people
can be convinced that there are no
other places in which a man can live
an honest and useful life, and die a
calm and peaceful death. “It takes
all sorts to make a world;” therefore,
we must have all sorts of cities. An
occasional stirring up of objectiona-
ble habits and customs is calculated
to do any people good. So may a lit-
u sharp criticism of the people them-
selves.
A certain class making shoes, anoth-
er clothing, etc., and another trans-
porting these to market, and still
another practicing medicine, ete., this

words society is preduced by our
wants. Now if in all this intercourse
with each other men were perfectly
honest, nothing but peace, harmony
and prosperity could result. But men
will not be thus honest, and govern-
ments are instituted to protect the
honest against the dishonest, the weak
against the strong. Does not good
government consist, then in rigidly
observing this distinction between so-
ciety and government, and thus ab-
staining from participating in their
private affairs.
Let everybody remember that Mrs.
Bell and her Sunday school class will
hold a lawn fete on Friday of this
week; the object is a very meritorious
one, that of raising money towards
the furnishing of the Methodist par-
sonage. The congregation has a very
desirable parsonage, but unfortunate-
ly very little furniture to furnish the
same. The bath and other necessary
furnishings will entail a cost of about
$500. A considerable amount has
been raised but more cash is needed.
Each Sunday school class will have an
entertainment with a view of liquidat-
ing the impending debt. Mrs. Bell’s
class will have an abundance of home-
made pies, cakes, etc. Ice cream,
fruit, candies, and all the delicacies of
the season will be on sale. All are
most cordially :.vited to participate
on this occasion. Don’t forget the
date, Friday, 16th. Come.
There is a movement started in
Pittsburgh to lengthen the school
hours. The Board of Education of
that city aver that they are justified
in making the change since teachers
all over the country are enjoying in-
creased salaries and have the short-
est hours of any workers in the Com-
monwealth; and taking into consider-
ation that the teacher is only requir-
ed to keep schools open for five days
a week. I wonder how the new move-
ment, should it become general all
over the State, will strike some of
our rural teachers who are now clos-
ing their schools on Fridays at three
o’clock, which is a direct violation of
the school code. In this instance the
violation of the code is liable to the
censure of our directors as well as the
reckless teachers. The higher officials
at Harrisburg, it is alleged, already
have their ears to the ground.
Women are naturally suspicious,
yet the most gullible creatures in the
world. They are always on the look-
out for gnats and are constantly swal-
lowing camels. And yet they get
along right well—without the aid of
man. If woman would she could
make her sphere in life wonderfully
cozy and comfortable. Some do, but
a great many do not. She can best
do this by making her home a little
paradise, herself playing the part of
angel. It isn’t necessary that she
should have wings to be an angel, on-
ly that she should have a clear con-
ception of what is necessary to make
home pleasing and attractive. Her
sphere is defined and located by a
single word—home. If women would
do that which they are best fitted for,
and which their hands and hearts find
to be done, they would achieve more
for themselves and be greater bless-
ings to the world.

The Klan was in private session.
A knock was heard on the door and a
hooded figure was astonished to find
a Jew at the threshhold. “What do
you want here?” “You can’t get in
here.” Slam went the door. A little
later there was another tap on the
panel. The sentry again looked out
and beheld the same Jew. “I thought
I told you to beat it! You know you
can’t come in.” Einstein: “I know
