PLEASANT GAP.
Lee Brooks, of Spring Mills, was a
caller in our town on Friday.
Do not lean your head against a
wall, you might soil the paper.
Never laugh when a funny story is
being told until the climax is reached.
Raymond Houser, of Lock Haven, is
enjoying a visiting tour over Pleasant
Gap.
Harry McClincy spent a few days
last week in Lock Haven, at the home
of his daughter.
John Milford Horner, of Stoneval-
ley, is visiting his brother and family,
Leslie E. Horner.
The Loyal Workers were entertain-
ed at the home of Mrs. J. T. Noll,
Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Harry Hagan and two chil-
.dren, of Lewistown, are visting at the
George Gettig home.
Mrs. R. T. Melroy spent two days
last week at the home of Prof. J. F.
Melroy, at Mifflintown.
Harry Lohman and family spent the
week-end at Berwick, at the home of
Mrs. Lohman’s mother, Mrs. Philip
«Clemens.
Nothing touches the heart so quick-
ly as the pathetic. Around the death
of an outcast, a pauper, the poet has
woven verses of dignity and pathos.
The ladies of the United Sportsmen
held a social in the club room, Tues-
day evening, which was largely at-
tended and a most agreeable evening
resulted.
Mrs. Rachel Noll and sister, Mrs.
Fetterhoff, sold a lot a few days ago,
to George W. Smith. George will pro-
ceed to build a cozy little home. He
is evidently tired of paying rent; a
wise move on his part.
Butcher Joseph Lex just completed
a very attractive sidewalk extending
the entire frontage of his home. The
material used was Whiterock crushed
limestone which, by the way, makes 2
very substantial walk.
Christian Hoffer, of Bellefonte, one
.of our agreeable associates for years,
.at the Gap, spent a few days here a
week ago. While here he called on
many of his old-time friends. His
presence here is always appreciated.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Acheson are
making their home with Levi A. Mil-
ler. Mrs. Acheson has the reputation
of being an expert cook, which evi-
dently appeals to Levi, and the com-
pletely furnished residence is what, no
.doubt, appeals to the Achesons.
Superintendeent Stutsman, of the
Rockview penitentiary, was a welcome
«caller at the United Sportsmen’s
meeting, Friday evening. He made a
very interesting address regarding the
.sportsmen’s privilege on lands of the
penitentiary, and his remarks were
highly appreciated. = |
A most delicious dinner was served
at the Noll 'Melroy home Thursday
«evening. The lucky participants were
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Noll, Mr. and
Mrs. Jared Evey, Mr and Mrs. Harry
Hile, Mr and Mrs. Wade Evey, Mrs.
Elmira Twitmyer, Miss Esther Noll
and Miss Thelma Evey.
Samuel Noll, our proficient deliv-
.eryman, left on Saturday on a busi-
ness trip° to Cleveland, expecting to
return about the middle of the coming
week. His numerous patrons miss
him, since he is so unusually punctual
in his profession. What Sammy don’t
know about delivering goods is’ not
worth knowing.
Messrs. Bell and Showers, of the
Pleasant Gap chicken farm, have just
received a large improved brooder.
The capacity is twenty-five hundred
chicks production. Now when the sea-
son opens we will have chicks galore.
They had an order for 5000 chicks per
week from an adjacent State dealer
but had to decline, as that is beyond
their capacity for the time being.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Noll, Terry Noll,
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Melroy and Mrs.
John Royer motored to Mackeyville,
Sunday, to take a last look at their
old friend, Mrs. Wallace Strouse, for-
merly of our town, who died last Fri-
day after a brief illness, with pneu-
monia. She leaves nine children, the
oldest being fourteen years of age.
Mrs. Strouse will be remembered as
Miss Eva Brooks, of this place.
Mrs. Raymond Melroy entertained
the following friends on Wednesday
«evening. Mrs. John Noll, Mrs. Wal-
ter Dunklebarger, Mrs. Austin Gough,
Mrs. Frank Irwin, Mrs. James Bilger,
‘Mrs. Harry Bilger, Mrs. S. E. Noll,

A most superb lunch was servied and
all were delighted with the agreeable
entertainment.
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 attribute proves
such a drawback to a young woman
when she is casting around for a hus-
band. A husband is mortified when
his wife appears at a disadvantage in
a social gathering, and it nettles him
to see her outshone by other women
who are less refined, not so well edu-
cated and have fewer graces; but who,
having the grace and ease of accom-
plished society dames deport them-
selves in a manner which excites ad-
miration. The society of clever wom-
en benefits a man in innumerable
ways; the society of good women
makes him a better man; the society
of refined women adds a polish to his
life that he could not obtain in any
other way, and by seeking the society
of women of goodness, cleverness, re-
finement and culture he is enabled to
choose a wife who will always exer-
cise a beneficial influence over him
and make home pleasant.
The estimate of the value or worth
of the capable orator’s influence and
power is a rather difficult matter. The
orator has befriended humanity. It
has seldom been recorded that he ever
pleaded the cause of the despot. It’s
a matter of history that the efforts of
the trained orator have invariably
made easier the way of the soldier in
fighting for the freedom which is a
greater power than armed force. The
people will follow the leader whose
eloquence gives expression to senti-
ments in harmony with their own. A
good oration sinks into the hearts of
men and is treasured in their memory.
Everybody who has read the history
of our own country, is acquainted with
the part played by the orator in our
struggle for freedom; he commands
the attention and secures the support
and following of the people because
he is their advocate and their medium
of communication with the outside
world; his influence is far-reaching
and beneficial, he aids materially in
shaping the destinies of nations. By
some it is claimed that oratory is a
lost art. I can see no evidence to sub-
stantiate this assertion. It will never
lose its power among men. Bryan
once said that “oratory will live as
long as the race exists.”

is Millheim’s gain. We wish Mr. Wea-
ver great success in his new work.
A surprise party was held at the

A Talk with
a Bellefonte Man
Mr. Nighthart Tells Something of In-
terest to Bellefonte Folks.
There’s nothing more convincing
than the statement of some one you
know and have confidence in. That’s
why this talk with Mr. Nighthart, of
E. Bishop street, should be mighty
helpful here in Bellefonte.
Charles Nighthart, 331 E. Bishop
St., says: “I became run down with
kidney trouble and felt tired and worn
out mornings. I could hardly get to
work. There was a steady, dull ache
across my back and when I stooped or
lifted, sharp catches took me. I also
had dizzy spells and my kidneys acted
irregularly. I used Doan’s Pills from
the Mott Drug Co. and they strength-
ened my back and kidneys.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr.
Nighthart had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
