PLEASANT GAP.
Paul Byers spent Sunday at his
home in Millheim.
Roscoe Treister, connected with the
state road aggregation of Bellefonte,
passed the week-end at his home at
McClure, Snyder county.
The festival of the Lutheran con-
gregation, at Noll’s grove on Satur-
day night last, was well patronized
and proved a deoided success.
Mrs. R. S. Melroy and Mrs. Jack
Noll attended the party given at the
Episcopal parish house, Bellefonte, on
Tuesday night; five hundred, bridge
and Mah Jong were in play. The
evening was a most enjoyable one.
Delicious refreshments were served
aud duly appreciated by all partici-
pants.
Well Miss Tamozine has entered a
new state, the state of wedlock. The
lucky groom is a Mr. Crum, of State
College, said to be a model young
man. And now Tamozine I assure you
it is a great pleasure to your loving
friends to be able to feel so much es-
teem and affection for the gentleman
to whom you have confided your life’s
happiness, and to hope every year will
unite your hearts more closely. That
heaven may bless you both is the
earnest prayer of your numerous
friends.
I notice an item in a number of
newspapers announcing the fact that
a man has been discovered who has
reached the unusual age of 112 years.
On being interviewed as to what the
old gent attributed as the cause of his
unusual longevity he replied, “for
many years back I bathed my head
effectually with pure cider vinegar
every third day.” It would probably
be advisable to proceed at once to re-
cuperate our vinegar supply before
the anticipated advance of vinegar
goes into effect.
Miss Mary Bender, accompanied by
a friend, of Lancaster, spent a few
very enjoyable days at the home of
Mrs. Janathan Bilger, grandmother of
Miss Bender. Miss Bender is a tal-
ented High school teacher of Lancas-
ter. She is self-assured as if she had
a commission signed and sealed by
the All Father to enlighten the uni-
verse of mankind. She is a shrewd,
trained, and skilled manipulator of
the young and rising generation. To
sum it up; she is exceptionally agree-
able, proud-spirited, self-relying and
independent, with unusual energy,
practical common sense, uncommon
powers of observation and strong af-
fection; in every way kind-hearted and
devotional.
Our esteemed friend, John Mul-
finger is a wise guy; he is in the
habit of always saying something
sensible when he opens his' mouth.
His last timely advice is that it is not
wise for the heads of families to boast
of the excellencies, or publish the
faults of their children but rather to
ponder them in their hearts, to men-
tion them only at the throne of grace,
then to return thanks for what is
right and to ask for guidance to cor-
rect what is wrong. If you wish your
children to reform, you must throw
2 shield around their character. Even
if John is an uncompromising Demo-
crat, apart from that inestimable priv-
ilege he is possessed of a little more
than ordinary intelligence on all top-
ics of interest.
The workman may dislike his job
and have small respect for his em-
ployer; yet when he undertakes a task
he assumes a responsibility which he
cannot ignore without proving false
to the demands of his own sense of
duty. The merchant who evades the
truth about his goods because he
thinks he will not be detected is as
mean and sneaking in character as the
laborer who shirks when he believes
he will not be caught at it. The high-
er the trust imposed in man, the
greater the treachery when he fails
his duty. But the lives of most of us
are made up of little things, and too
often they are marred by little eva-
sions and by petty betrayals of the
confidence that others have reposed in
us. The man who cannot keep a con-
tract, the woman who cannot keep her
word when she has given it to her lit-
ile children, the churchman who lacks
the courage to carry out his profes-
sions when he has ceased to worship
and has begun to work, the politician
who dare not be unpopular to save his
conscience, all the vast army of well-
meaning and weak-willed men and
women who are making life harder

for themselves and those about them,
these need a spur of a conscience dis-
ciplined in the ways of duty.
Our efficient State Commission are
onto their job, their liberality knows
no bounds. They furnished our up-
to-date sportsman’s organization some
time ago with fifty-six rabbits and
one wild turkey gobbler. Two weeks
ago they supplied us with a fine spec-
imen of a McKean county bear; last
Saturday the second bear came, with
a promise of two more. It is need-
less to say this product has been wise-
ly distributed and naturally we look
for beneficial results. A detriment to
some often proves beneficial to others.
As an illustration, some four years
ago the farmers of Potter county ap-
pealed to the State Game Commission
asking their aid in exterminating the
bear that abounded so profusely in
Potter county. They alleged the pests
destroyed their crops materially. The
Commission responded promptly,
caught the bears in profusion and
wisely distributed them throughout
the State, where the monster animals
were in demand. After a time the
sportsmen became antagonistic and
prevailed on the Commission to desist
in the extermination since they were
interfering with their sporting pro-
clivities and the capture of the bear
in Potter county was declared off and
at the request of the farmers in Mec-
Kean county was transferred to Mec-
Kean, where the extermination is be-
ing vigorously carried out. The
sportsmen of old McKean are about
due for an emphatic kick. It seems
impossible to please everybody. The
State Game Commission are to be
commended for their speedy action
when a justified claim presents itself.

204 Auto Accidents Within Five Days.
Harrisburg.—Clippings received by
State Highway Department for the
period from May 10 to May 15 showed
there were 204 automobile accidents
in the territories in which the papers
were published. Thirty-one persons
were killed in the accidents and 129
injured.
The department receives through
its clipping bureau only a few more
than half of the total newspapers pub-
lished in the State.
As a result of watching its clipping

drivers of automobiles for operating
vehicles while intoxicated and for
transporting liquor.
Officials of the department say they
depend on the newspaper clippings as
one of the chief sources of informa-
tion to bring action against careless
and drunken drivers.

England Alarmed as Skilled Work-
ers Go.
Public opinion in London is alarm-
ed at the number of skilled men emi-
grating to America and other coun-
tries.
According to information given in
the House of Commons by Sidney
Webb, president of the Board of
Trade, 20509 skilled workers in the
building, metal and engineering trades
left England for America in the first
nine months last year. Of this num-
ber 12,807 took up permanent resi-
dence in the United States, according
to Webb,
Webb admitted .that extensive
house-building programs are being
held up through lack of skilled labor.

Spare the Snappers.
Sportsmen and others who are in-
terested in preserving the things of
the country, will refrain from taking
snappers which they find wandering
about the fields in order to protect
them from destruction. At this sea-
son the females wander far from the
streams and ponds to deposit their
eggs in a bed made in some soft
ground, preferably that of a sandy
nature, where the eggs, sometimes to
the number of half a hundred, are
left to be hatched by the rays of the
sun in about a month. These hatch-
es are so well concealed by the turtles
that they are seldom discovered un-
less by a plowman in a field or by
accident. The mothers return at once
to the water after depositing the eggs
and when the little turtles appear
they make their way at once to the
nearest stream or pond and are com-
pelled to care for themselves there-
after. Many are destroyed by rats
and other enemies, but a large pro-
portion reach water and soon mature,
although several years elapse before
they are of what might be called ma-
ture size. During this time a wan-
dering turtle should not be disturb-
ed, even though the temptation is
great for a pot of soup.
The American flag is the sec-
ond oldest flag in use on earth today.
Wise Doctor.
There’s a certain Hollywood doctor,
who is not above prescribing for some
patients, who only imagine they're
sick, some remedy he imagines they'd
like to take, hence, when a pretty
movie widow came to him with a
Yagus complaint he was right on the
job.
“My dear,” he murmured, “you are
slightly morbid. You should look
about you, and marry again.”
“Why, doctor,” beamed the little
woman, “is—is this a proposal?”
“My dear woman,” protested the
doctor in alarm, “let me remind you
that a doctor prescribes medicine, but
Le doesn’t take it.”—Los Angeles
ites.
The Mistrustful Husband.
E. H. Towner, the New York ex-
pert, who has worked out a new form
of insurance—the insurance of the
principal and interest of bond invest-
ments—told an insurance story at a
banquet.
“An insurance agent,” he said,
“was trying to get G. Washington
White to take out a life policy.
% ‘Think of the future, Wash,” he
said. ‘You never know what may
happen. And then there’s your wife
to consider, to.
“¢Dat’s it!’ said Wash, shaking his
head. ‘Dat’s just it. Ah ain’t none
too safe at home as it is, boss.” ”
