PLEASANT GAP.
Out of a kind heart comes, natural-
ly, kind feelings.

eral Grant “Let us have peace.”
The repose of the muscular system
is never complete, except by sleep.
Mrs. Jahn Noll and daughter Jean
gre visiting in New Castle and Wood-

Harry Evy and wife, of Hollidays- |
burg, were week-end visitors at the |
home of Harry Griffith.
Newton Gill, of Huntingdon, visited
at the home of his brother, J. W. Gill
and family, last Sunday.
Frank Millward and family will
leave today for a ten day’s visit to
Philadelphia and Atlantic City.
Mrs. Paul Heisey and her two chil-
dren, of the Cumberland Valley, spent
a very agreeable week with her par-
ents and old time friends.
Mrs. Boyd Spicher and three chil-
dren were visitors, last week, in Ty-
tone. Of course, Boyd was too busy
serving his patrons to accompany
‘them.
Irvin Harrison was thrown off the
mule he was driving at Whiterock,
while at work last week, broke his
collar bone and received other minor
injuries.
The Ladies Aid of the Methodist
church will, on August 9th, hold a
festival in Noll’'s grove. As usual,
refreshments galore will be i nevi-
refreshments galore will be in evi-
an efficient force of good workers.
A large attendance is assured; all are
cordially invited; go and have a most
enjoyable time. Orchestra music will
be in evidence throughout the even-
ing.
A story goes farther than an argu-
ment, and a joke captures more than
a speech. It matters not whether it
be a crisis in national affairs, a crit-
jcal time in finances, disturbing con-
tentions in the church, or in varying
fortunes of party leaders; the public
finds comfort somewhere by the pre-
sentation and universal acceptance of
a humorous or ludicrous side of the
situation.
Miss Emeline Noll, of Philadelphia,
spent her vacation at Pittsburgh and
Altoona, and wound up at _her home
in Pleasant Gap. She says Pittsburgh
and Altoona are all right but “there
is no place like home.” Miss Emeline
was for some years one of our effi-
cient school teachers, hence has many
friends in this community. At pres- |
ent she holds a trustworthy clerical |
position in the Broad Street Philadel-
phia P. R. R. offices.
There are no titles in this repub- |
lic of ours; but we are very fond of |
titles all the same. Thousands of men
are called “Colonel” who never led a |
regiment; others have the prefix
“General” who never commanded a
corps, division or brigade; we often |
call a justice of the peace “Judge,” or |
«Mr. Justice,” the latter also being
the title of the Associate Justices of !
the Supreme court of the United
States. Military titles are thick |
enough in this country as it is, and
worthily worn by men who won them
bravely enough in the Civil war, the
Spanish-American and the world war,
and for this reason it is somewhat ri-
diculous to attach these honorable dis-
tinctions to those who do not in any
way deserve them.
The union Sunday school picnic
held at Hecla park, last Saturday, was
quite largely attended and a superla-
tively enjoyable time resulted. The
children enjoyed their annual outing
immensely, and the youngsters will
never forget this glorious occasion.
The parents and Sunday school teach-
ers are to be commended for their un-
tiring effort to entertain our young
people. The Sabbath school is a step-~
ping stone toward the elevation of the
young and rising generation. Par-
ents and teachers must give good ex-
ample and be reverent in deportment
in the presence of the children. All
instances of charity, which as a rule
produce affection; sweetness of con-
versation, affability, frequent admo-
nition, significance of love and ten-
derness, care, watchfulness, must be
expressed toward children, that they
may look upon their parents and
teachers as protectors; their defense
and sanctuary, their treasures and
their guide.
There seems to be two sides to all
perplexing propositions. Our John-
ny, who some years ago ran a distil-
lery, and fortunately saved enough

door,” for the balance of his exist-
ence, addressed some of his intimates
at the postoffice a few days ago. He
said prohibition is an intolerable nui~
sance, and an invasion of the liberties
of all free Americans. To be candid,
wine is nothing more nor less than
bottled sunshine. Prohibition was ef-
fective all over the Dominion of Can-
ada, but they were forced to let up on
the disastrous experiment; the result
is, their burdensome taxes are now
cut in half and they are again a pros-,
perous and happy people. Dick Pack-
er responded, alleging that he pitied
the man or woman who would not en-
joy a glass of choice wine, or even
something possessed of a little more
vigorous kick. Modern reforms and
a little more common sense is what
we want in this glorious country of
ours. Dick is not much of an orator
but like the late Teddy Roosevelt, he
always says something when he opens
his mouth.

Make Today Count as No
Previous One Ever Did
Make this resolution every mérn-
ing: I will play the life game today | Tyro
as I have never played it before. I
will play it with more energy, more
determination. I will play it with
firmer decision, with better judgment.
But while I will try not to make so
many mistakes, I will not be so cau-
tious as not to act at all, for I know
that he who hesitates in irresolution
or wavers is lost. I am going to make
myself felt today as never before. I
am going to fling my life into my work
with all the energy I can master. I
am resolved not to grope along In a
picayune way any more. I am going
to put some more dare into my efforts.
I am golhg to take more chances be-
cause I know that people with vig-
orous initiative can afford to make
more mistakes than the hesitators, the
waverers, the balancers. I am going
to make this day count as no previous
day of my life has counted.—Inspira-
tion.
Sunrise in the Tropics
No one who has ever seen a tropical
sunrise will forget it; from darkness
the world bursts into light, The sun
on the Amazon usually rises without
clouds and floods everything with ra-
diance; the sunsets are sometimes
beautiful, but there are seldom clouds,
and the color effects are not as fine
as in northern climes.
The banks of the river are full of
interest to the canoe voyager, who has
every opportunity for observation, as
one always paddles close to the shore.
Draperies of flowing vines sweep the
canoe; at times In some little bay,
where the current has no influence,
great masses of water plants are in
full bloom, bright tillandsias perch in
the branches above his head, and or-
chids look out from the branches, or
many times swing in midair. Large
patches of “aninga,” which looks like
a tall-stemmed, giant calla lily, full of
the great white flowers, make beauti-
ful pictures and over all is a bright
blue sky with the cool breeze, which
from nine till four always draws up
the river.
Safety Last.
Lies slumbering here one William
Lake; he heard the bell, but had no
brake.
At fifty miles drove Allie Pidd; he
thought he wouldn’t skid, but did.
At ninety miles drove Eddie Shawn;
the motor stopped, but “Ed” kept on.
Here he sleeps, one Johnny Fonker;
he rounded a turn without a honker.
Down in the creek sleeps Jerry
Bass; the bridge was narrow; he tried
to pass. i
Beneath this stone, sleeps William
Raines; ice on the hill; he had no
chains.
Here lies the body of William Jay,
who died maintaining his right-of-
way.
Here lies the remains of Percival
Sap; he drove his machine with a girl
on his lap.
And here’s what’s left of Samuel
Small; he paid no attention to “slow”
signs at all.
That ash pile there is Billy Hatch;
he looked in his gas tank with a
match.

412 Killed in Mine Accidents in 1924.
Four hundred and twelve persons
lost their lives in Pennsylvania mine
accidents the first six months of this
year, compared with 495 for the cor-
responding period in 1923, a report of
Joseph J. Walsh, secretary of mines,
made public recently, disclosed.
Of the total number, 248 were re-
ported from. the bituminous coal fields
and 164 from the anthracite coal re-
gions,
This was a decrease of forty-one
deaths in the bituminous field, com-
pared with 1923, and forty-two in the
anthracite field.

What My Neighbor Says
Is of Interest to Bellefonte Folks.
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches.
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney olls—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that
person’s advice is of untold value to
friends and neighbors. The following
case is only one of many thousands,
but it is that of a Bellefonte resident.
Who could ask for a better example?
Harry Rossman, drayman, says:
“My kidneys didn’t act right and I
had to get up several times at night.
My back was lame and ached a great
deal, especially in the morning, mak-
ing it hard to keep at my work. I
used Doan’s Pills and they quickly re-
lieved me of all signs of kidney trou-
ble. My kidneys were soon acting
regularly.”
