PLEASANT GAP.
Mrs. C. W. Rishel is visiting friends
in Lycoming county.
_ Henry Evey, of Lemont, is visiting
‘his son Wade and wife, at the Twit-
mire residence.
Ray Reish and family, of Altoona,
were week-end visitors with his par-
ents, at the Gap.
Brownie Rimmey motored over
from Lewistown, Saturday last to vis-
it his family and friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roush, of Altoo-
na, are visiting the latter’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Rimmey.
Mrs. G. R. Rockey, of Rockview,
visited the family of Mr. and Mrs.
Orvis Rockey, of the Gap, on Friday.
Gray Rockey and Miss Mary, of
Patton township, were circulating
among friends at the Gap Sunday last.
Miss Ada Keen, whe spent sever-
al weeks at the Samuel Weaver home,
will return to Washington, D. C., on
Sunday.
Kenneth Brooks, son of Orlin
Brooks, a promising young man, died
in a Pittsburgh hospital, of pleuro
pneumonia.
William Bilger, of Scranton, was
here to attend the funeral of his
grandmother, the venerable Mrs. Reu-
ben Houser.
It is reported that Whiterock will,
at an early day, pay their men with
checks instead of currency; for pru-
dential reasons. :
A birthday party was held for Miss
Helen Schreffler, last Friday evening.
About thirty of her friends partici-
pated in the happy event. :
Mrs. Theodore Ramsey, of Harris-
burg, is visiting her brothers, W. H.
Noll Jr., and Abner Noll, and is ap-
parently enjoying herself hugely, as
-usual. :
Earl Rimmey, who secured a situa-
tion ten days ago at Lewistown, after
being dropped from the pay roll of
the Rockview penitentiary, was home
.over the week-end. .
The High school at Spring Mills had
.a spelling bee at the Lee Brooks resi-
dence, at Spring Mills, Thursday
evening. It was quite an educational
:and animated event.
The Ladies Aid society of the
Methodist church is busily engaged
in quilting, this week; they are giv-
ing strict attention to their business,
and happily eliminating gossip.
About seven-tenths of our popula-
tion own automobiles, and more than
half usually go to Bellefonte Satur-
day nights, taking in the sights in
general and the movies in particular.
Among those from here who at-
tended the funeral of the late lament-
«od Mr. Gheen, were Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Noll, Mr. and Mrs. William
Kerstetter and Mr. and Mrs. Ward
Showers.
Mrs. Abner Noll and daughter, Mrs.
Raymond: Melroy, are spending an un-
‘limited time in Philadelphia. They
will no doubt enjoy a good time in the
«Quaker city, as they have an abund-
ance of friends located there.
Brownie Rimmey, one of the unfor-
tunates who was laid off at the peni-
tentiary, and one who has an antip-
athy against loafing, went to Lewis-
town and got a job with the Viscose
«company. His ambition being salis-
fied he will no doubt be happy.
One of Beezer’s butchers has re-
signed his position and has leased the
vacant butcher shop of Clayton Get-
tig, with a view of making his for-
tune in our pleasant village. This
being a free country, and competition
the life of trade, and the longest pole
knocking down the persimmon; with
Whiterock on the upward grade and
bright prospects of the penitentiary
«coming to life, both may exist.
Humanity has all along taught their
youth the necessity of prudence, in-
dustry and frugality as necessary to
success; and when some of them act
upon it and become wealthy they are
denounced as enemies of the race, and
despicable characters, themselves and
their possessions fit objects of de-
struction, while paupers are applaud-
ed as proper subjects for heaven.
Consistency, surely thou art a double-
plated thing. x
If no one would save there would
be no capitalists, there would be no
one to give employment to labor. They
are not therefore the meanest of man-
kind. Also, that wisdom that made

“usual round of calls.
the small start is necessary to future
progression, and who knows better
than he can do than the man of suc-
cess himself. Be careful how you
condemn that wisdom that has ac-
quired so much; it is well to pause
and ask yourself, could you do as
well, and if so, ean you furnish the
proof?
It will be almost universally con-
ceded that no other language is so
rich in meaning as the language of
the Bible. Great leading truths are
but the branches upon which cluster
the most varied practical lessons of
wisdom and virtue. We believe it
should be made the conscientious prac-
tice of every reader of the Bible first,
to satisfy his own mind as to the
meaning of each passage, and then to
see that his rendering will properly
represent that meaning. In the Bible
there are thousands of passages that
may be rendered meaningless or even
ridiculous by the change of emphasis
alone, upon a single word. We should
ever recognize by a humility of tone
and manner that the words are Jeho-
vah’s.
Revival meetings are being held
every evening in the Methodist
church. While the Rev. Rishel is
pleading studiously not one seeker
has been secured up to this time. It
appears that the eager attendants
don’t seem to realize that religion is a
most cheerful and happy thing to
practice, and a most meiancholy thing
to neglect. If we seriously consider
what religion is, we shall find the say-
ing of the wise King Solomon to be
exceptionally true: “Her ways are
ways of pleasantness, and all her
paths are peace.” How much wiser
and better should we be if we could
carry along with us, from infancy to
old age, the full conviction that hap-
piness is the substantial cultivation
and exercise of the christian virtues;
that piety is the firmest basis of mo-
rality. Without the belief and hope
offered by Divine revelation, the cir-
cumstances of men and women are ex-
tremely forlorn. Remember that in
heaven there is rest. “What shall it
profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his soul.”
Rev. Rishel, of the M. E. church,
preached a very able sermon on Sun-
day evening to our lodge of Klansmen.
Seventy-nine members were in line.
We had no idea that half that num-
ber were enrolled here. Like Topsy,
they seem to grow. The church was
crowded to overflowing and the clos-
est attention was observed through-
out the discourse. His well received
address was largely based on the
christian, the philanthropist and those
who are favored with a bounteous
store of the goods of the earth. His
theory seems to be that all should ex-
ercise charity toward their fellow men
suffering-from want and poverty. He
paid a high tribute to the K. K. K's
for their marvelous charitable work
throughout our country, and from
what is learned his remarks were very
highly appreciated by all who heard
this masterful address. The organ-
ization must be growing very rapidly
since it is claimed that six-tenths of
the ministers of the Gospel in our land
are members. If these reports are
authentic it would almost cause one
to “stop and listen.”
AARONSBURG.
The condition of Mrs. John Wolf is
not as encouraging as her family and
friends weuld wish. However, we
wish for her a full recovery to health.
A. S. Stover has been housed up the
past two weeks, suffering from grip.
At this writing he is much improved
and expects soon to resume his regu-
lar work.
A week or more ago Miss Mary G.
Forster, who had been in a Philadel-
phia hospital for treatment for an in-
jured limb, came to her home here.
Her many friends trust she was great-
ly benefitted.
Mrs. Reuben Eisenhuth and son, of
Coburn, were recent guests at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Arma-
gast. Mr. Armagast, who had been
housed up since Christmas, is again
able to walk down street.
Frank Weaver, who is employed in
Renovo, has been spending the past
week with his family in this place. !
Mr. Weaver just recently bought the
house formerly owned by William
Hoffley, and is now occupying the
same.
Dr. H. S. Braucht, of Spring Mills,
was seen in town Sunday, making his
Dr. Braucht had
been ill, having been a patient in one
of the Philadelphia hospitals. His
many friends are glad he has recov-
ered so rapidly.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Holloway are
entertaining Myr. Holloway’s niece,
Mrs. Willam Miller, of Orangeville,
Ill. Mrs. Miller is a daughter of the
late William Holloway, a native of
this town. She is also a cousin of H.
E and J. H. Crouse, whom she is also
visiting.
Tuseday evening the Rev. C. B.
Snyder began a series of meetings in
the local Evangelical church. In
March Rev. Snyder will go to confei-
ence, at which time he expects to be
assigned to a new field of labor. He
will then have served seven years on
the Millheim charge, which no other
pastor has done.
BOALSBURG.
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Brouse had a |
radio installed in their home last
week,
Jacob Felty, of Altoona, was a
week-end visitor among friends in
town.
Charles Young, of Ohio, is visiting
his mother, Mrs. Ellen Young, and
friends.
A number of members of the I. O.
O. F. attended a meeting in Centre
Hall on Saturday evening.
John Wright on Tuesday went to
Harrisburg, via. Lewistown, to attend
the Threshermen’s convention.
D. W. Meyer has returned home
after a visit of several weeks with his
daughter, Mrs, Gertrude Wagner, in
Altoona.
The members of the Sunday school
class taught by Mr. William Stover,
are planning for a Valentine social at
the home of George Fisher. Every-
body is invited. A silver offering will
be asked for.
'
Youth Is No Longer
“Seen But Not Heard”
The baby of today seems to be born
with wireless phones over his ears.
And as we watch him through the
stages by which he reaches manhood
we hold our breath and marvel. For
he is not as we have seen.
He has no time for the childish
pleasures once so satisfying, now but
a pleasant memory. His whole life,
writes Richard Carol in the Edin-
burgh Scotsman, takes advantage of
all that the progress of scientific dis-
covery has made possible, eliminating
that which does not help toward the
grand ambition. Science it is which,
at an early age, seizes hold of him
and, enthralling him with its mystery.
soon adds him to its list of victims.
His very toys are marvels of scien-
tific endeavor, But he is not content,
as we were, to remain in simple won-
derment at their efficiency or pull
them to pieces to see how it worked.
He examines them as scientifically as
they were put together and lays bare
their mystery. And so he talks in
technicalities and leaves his fond
parent tongue-tied and amazed at his
wonderful progeny.
With a confidence and assurance |
that rouses the jealousy of the older
man, whose more intimate knowledge
of the world has brought a discretion
in argument, he launches out into dis-
cussions on subjects voted deadly dull
and boring by the schoolboy of the
previous generation, and even by us
now, who were those schoolboys.
No longer does the modern young-
ster call his father and mother pater
and mater, respectively. Now it is
Jim and Jean. He is on equal terms.
Respect for elders is obsolete. In
fact, he almost despises, or perhaps
pities is the kinder word, his parents
who are so frightfully behind the
times with their ideas. Sometimes he
even condescends to undertake their
further education.
Where will it all end? Are we now
che beholders of a race of coming su-
permen who, with thoughts at fifteen
similar to ours at thirty, will go leap-
ing forward to a state of mental efil-
ciency hitherto undreamed of?
I should like to think it so. Yet,
mm all other matters Nature seems
averse to this missing out of steps.
And then there comes back to my
mind the case of a professor who de-
voured Greek while his coevals played
with bricks; soon after he had passed
his sixtieth year he was discovered
in his study playing with bricks—and
I wonder.
When Dads Used the Whip
I once tried smoking Aunt Maha-
la’s pipe after she had laid it aside,
and became very sick. While in this
condition gomeone reported the inci-
dent to my father, who came after
me and gave me what we called a
whaling. I saw him coming, trim-
ming a switch, and understood what it
meant, for whipping children was very |
common in that day.
The first compliment ever paid me !
was from my mother, who said I was
a good-looking baby but had gotten
bravely over it. The second came !
from my Aunt Beckie, who said I was i
smart; that when my father hit me
the first lick I fell and screamed so
loud he thought he was murdering me
and soon quit, whereas my brother Jim
sullenly took punishment, which
caused the whip to be laid on all the
harder, :
We never made camp in our trip to
the West by covered wagon, that some
of the children were not whipped; fre-
quently fathers and mothers led their
children off, the children screaming,
“I'll be good! I'll be good!”
In this modern day I have not seen
a child whipped In many years.
Whether the old custom was better
than the new I do not know, but I
have never whipped my own, and have
good children.—E. W. Howe in the
Saturday Evening Post.
Camel Flesh as Delicacy
«f, as predicted, the erection of &
siotor factory in Egypt spells the
doom of the camel as the “ship of
the desert,” other uses may be found
for that most stubborn of beasts. By
some epicures, for instance, remarks
the Manchester Guardian, it is highly
esteemed as a table delicacy. The
aump, when roasted, is said to be de-
{icious, while the head, served with
sauce piquante, is also described as a
aoble dish.
Apparently, however, camel flesh is
tot to everyone's taste. Some years
120 several large consignments of it
vere imported from Algiers into
France, and “Chambeau Mozabite”
figured in the bill of fare of certain
Parisian restaurants. After a brief
vogue it fell rapidly and completely
from favor, and the restaurant keep-
arg ceased to supply it.
Portable X-Ray a Boon
Dr, W. D. Coolidge, formerly a pro-
fessor at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, has invented a portable
X-ray machine, which will be a boon
to rural residents besides being valu-
able in commercial life. The machine
may be carried around like a small
hand grip. It will enable plumbers
to see pipes hidden in walls, gem buy-
ers to detect fake gems, and will
enable the country doctor to carry
modern curative science into the in-
land home.
Red, Watery Eyes.
You will be astonished at the quick
results from simple camphor, witch-
hazel, hydrastis, etc., as mixed in
Lavoptik eye wash. One small bottle
Lavoptik helps any case sore, red or
watery eyes. Eye cup free. Run-

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 ills—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, making it
hard to keep at my work. I used
Doan’s Pills and they quickly reliev-
ed me of all signs of kidney trouble.
