i Grove Mills boy, is visiting the scenes
of his youthful escapades in this sec-
tion. Sixty years ago he was one of
your correspondent’s pupils in the
Pine Grove school then Horace Greely
advised the young men to go west and
he struck the trail, landing in South
Dakota, where he has accumulated a
snug fortune as a dirt farmer. He is
now finding very few of his boyhood
friends hereabouts, some having moyv-
ed away but most of them lying in
God’s Acre.
Mr. and Mrs. Sinie Reish were giv-
en a delightful surprise party, last

versary of both of them. The well
known couple were inveigled from
home by Hamill Goheen, who took
them huckleberrying over in the Bar-
rens and kept them away until the
sun was sinking in the western heav-
ens. When they returned home they
found their house and yard filled with
neighbors and spacious tables spread
upon the lawn piled full of good
things to eat. After the supper had
been put in its proper places a long
list of presents were brought forth
and Jestowed upon Mr. and Mrs.
eish. '

With the number of motorists who,

most here.

“Who knoweth the spirit of man
that goeth upward, and the spirit of
the beast that goeth downward to
earth.”—Eccls. II1,18-21.

Snow Shoe, to visit her mother dur-
ing her vacation. If she can secure a

Mercantile vender Samuel Noll took
in the Lewistown fair on Saturday
last. He says the exhibits were “pon-
derous,” and all who attended got val-
ue received. He estimates that fully
one-half of the women seen there had
Dobbed hair and were evidently up-to-
ate.
Mr. Otto Hile says that Doc Sto-
ver’s house, now under course of erec-
tion, cannot be excelled so far as the
superlative stone work is concerned.
Come to think it over, we have no
right to question his broad assertion
in this direction, since he is the for-
tunate contractor. Otto’s work is o. k.
Politics has been unusually quiet
hereabouts. However, it is to be pre-
sumed that the aspirants will ere long
awaken to the fact that the time is
near at hand when it will be their du-
ty to acquaint the dear voter that they
are running for an office; when all
kinds of promises and pledges will be
advanced.
The sportsmen’s festival, Saturday
night, proved a financial success, not-
withstanding there were all told nine
festivals staged for the same evening,
in Centre county. For some years
past Saturday night was regarded as
the proper evening to pull off festi-
vals—not so now—seven-tenths of the
families of Pleasant Gap are now the
owners of automobiles, and three-
fourths of our population, through
habit go to the county seat regularly
' on Saturday night; this has a tenden-
cy to largely decrease the attendance
at the festivals held Saturday nights.
Our sportsman’s organization num-
bers about eighty members; to their
credit it must be said nearly all were
present on this occasion. The net re-
ceipts aggregated over $140.00. The
hot-dog sandwich counter alone
brought in $40.35. The president of
the association, Mr. Raymond Melroy,
who by the way is a veteran in this
line of business, looked after the dog-
end of the proposition, which probably
accounts for the unprecedented suec-
: cess attained.
i
Our youngsters grow up to take the
place of their elders, who pass from
the activities of life to the restfulness
of the beyond, and when they come
into full possession of their inherit-
ances they realize what they have
missed if their manners are not such
as to entitle them to places in society
once occupied by their fathers and
mothers. Then they feel the humilia-
tion and chagrin which accompanies
the knowledge and they are not fit to
move in those circles where refine-
ment, culture and good breeding
reign; they feel themselves awkward
and in the wrong sphere, and not only
deserve the contempt with which they
are regarded by those with whom
they would like to associate, but they
cannot help feeling a contempt for
themselves. It is then, perhaps, too
late, for opportunity; it is said, never
knocks twice at the door of any man
or woman. Many a man has been ru-
ined selecting a wife who proved to be
a hindrance instead of a help; who
{ was a curse instead of a blessing, and
who made a “home” for him, that was
everything it should not have been.
The young man who chooses the right
sort of a girl to accompany him
through life has made his first long
step toward fortune; but it stands to
reason that he cannot find such a girl
as this among those who possess none,
or very few of the gentle character-
istics by which the true lady is known,
and the lack of which attributes prove
such a drawback to a young woman

Waxy leaf, cut just the right size—chosen

hat, some people will follow the advice of a

the advice of a banker, who has nothing in view but
the protection of his depositors.
The preferred stock of a certain manufacturing
company, which was sold to a number of local people at one
hundred dollars per share, is now going begging at fifty dollars.
