RS ER TA RR, . Bellefonte, Pa., June 26, 1925. Country Correspondence sm PLEASANT GAP. Engagement announcements in the month of roses overshadow all other events. Mrs. Esther Melroy visited Miss Edith Herman, at the Danville hos- pital, a few days ago. It is the inherent principle of self- love which makes a man pursue ob- jects that increase happiness. Next Sunday night will be children’s night at the Lutheran church here, when a glorious occasion is antici- pated. Tender reproof and reasoning, when the child violates any known rule of discipline, are much better than con- stant use of the rod. Barber Crissman, the angler, caught a nice string of trout recently, three of which measured over thirteen inch- es. Harry is some fisherman. Miss Bertha Rimmiey, our efficient nurse, was called to the home of W. Harrison . Walker, of Bellefonte, ow- ing to the illness of a young daughter. How many outcasts and ungrateful children have, in all ages, born wit- ness to the tenderness of a devoted mother’s heart to the returning prod- igal. David Crum and wife, of Linesville, are spending their vacation with the Ammon Kerstetter family. Mrs. Crum is a daughter of the Kerstet- ters. George Rockey had a severe siege of the mumps but is recuperating nicely; so much so that he expects to be able to return to his. work in a few days. The cherry and plum crops are a dismal failure, and farmers tell me that apples are beginning to drop off, owing to the unseasonable weather conditions. Irvin Bottorf, of State College, is visiting with Mrs. Harold Kerstetter, his sister, and incidentally goes fish- ing with his brother-in-law Harold, about every evening. It looks as if there might be some- thing doing in the political line in the near future—as Harry Keller's and Newton Spangler’s petitions have been passed around and signatures solic- ited. Merchant Charley Stitzer has just completed a substantial concrete pave- ment the full length of his lot. Next week Boyd Spicher will follow suit. The good work all along the state road is progressing nicely. Our friend, George Tate, as a mat- ter of course, took in the circus last Saturday. George says he is not much stuck on the circus proposition but he enjoys seeing the children en- joy themselves on such occasions. Mrs. William H. Shuey, who was recently discharged from the Centre County hospital, has been quartered at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Gettig; but owing to her gradual recovery expects to again oc- cupy her new home: in a few days. Night after night, we see beautiful girls, and older women as well, who ought to have better sense, from vani- ty go sparsely dressed, coming from a heated room into inclement weather, with neck and arms bare, clothed in thin, fancy dresses. I might say part- ly clothed. They seem determined to shorten their days. If you desire good health, study the laws of nature, and doctors will tear down their shin- gles, and druggists will have to swal- low their own drugs. Mrs. Robert Miller, of Tyrone, and Mrs. Clayton Royer and daughter, of Bellefonte, were very welcome visit- ors at the writer's home on Wednes- day. Miss Royer just returned from an extended visit to the land of sun- shine—California. The young lady is a most agreeable conversationalist. She enlightened us more on the beau- ties of the Pacific coast than we ever knew or anticipated. I love to hear a man or woman talk when they are ca- pable of talking sense. “Intelligence is the life of liberty.” The Children’s day exercises at the Methodist church, Sunday night, prov- ed a decided success. Seventeen num- bers were beautifully rendered, and to the credit of the children, not a single break was apparent during the exer- cises. The decorations for the occa- sion were unexcelled. The children were well trained and performed their parts exceedingly well, and all seemed unusually cheerful. Spring with its smiles gladdens the earth, but when summer comes, nature bursts forth in- to a glow of cheerfulness that makes the very face of all things shine with beauty and fruitfulness. This senti- ment imparts elasticity to the mind, and exerts over the disposition and in- tellect a powerful influence in preserv- ing health. The mind is fashioned and furnished principally at school and through the efforts of the teach- er, but the character of the affections is derived chiefly from the teacher and Lome influences. God bless the chil- ren. The bride is a woman of wondrous fascination and a remarkable attract- iveness, for with manner as enchant- ing as the wand of a siren and a dis- position as sweet as the odor of flow- ers, and spirit as joyful as the carol- ing birds, and mind as brilliant as those glittering tresses that adorn the brow of winter, and with heart as pure as dewdrops trembling in a coronet of violets, she will make the home of her husband a paradise of enchantment like the lovely home of her girlhood, where the heaven-toned harp of mar- riage with its chords of love and de- votion and fond endearments, send forth the sweetest strains of felicity that ever thrilled the senses with the rythmic pulsing of ecstatic rapture. But remember that in the selection of a companion for a life partner, it is proper that every effort should be made to avoid evil; to this end we are endowed with qualities of foresight and prudence, and by permitting our ' . . passions to over-rule our judgment in these serious matters, we frequently destroy our happiness and entail mis- ery on our offspring; by some the dan- ger lies in ignorance. About this time of the year some of our older farmers are debating the | question of retirement, which means in most instances, that they will move to the nearest village, or to the coun- ty seat, with the avowed intention of taking it easy the rest of their lives. They will rent the farm, or turn it over to the children, perhaps. They have done their share of hard work, undoubtedly, and they are entitled to a rest.. It is open to question, how- ever, whether retirement to the vil- lage is always a good thing. Some- times taking it easy is a most disap- pointing job. It’s the hardest kind of work for a man who has always been laborious and active. He finds no en- joyment in sitting down and folding his hands. On the average, he doesn’t live so long after he robs his life of its interest and activity. The gov- ernment experts have been taking some advice on the subject and their conclusions lead us to believe that it is wiser for the farmer to take it eas- ier on his own place than to move to the town or village. You can have a lot of pleasure if you'll give yourself some leisure and set about your fun intelligently. All are not happy who leave the farm. Rainy days are apt to be gloomy days for those who are idle, or for those who have been af- flicted by the death of a near friend or relative. The best remedy I can suggest for gloom and despondency on rainy days is to keep busy. If one is deeply engaged in some congenial work, or in fact, almost any kind of work, he will forget about the weath- er and a rainy day will soon pass by. But if one sits idly dreaming, as did poet Longfellow after the loss of his beloved wife, he will certainly have a day of gloom; I am a busy man, there- fore, rainy days do. not disturb me. Here is something by Longfellow on a rainy day, which I quote from mem- ory: The day is dark and cold and dreary, It rains, and the wind is never weary, The vine still clings to the moldering wall And at each gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. Be still, sad heart, and cease repining, Behind the clouds is the sun still shining. Thy fate is the common fate of all Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. rm ——— AARONSBURG.

Coca-Chewing Evil Habit. The chief vice of the Indians and half-breeds of Bolivia is chewing’ coca.’ A man who has the habit can always be detected by the immense lump in his cheek. The general effect of the drug is to dull the nerves and stiffen the resistance to fatigue. Under its influence natives can endure great hardships and physical strain. Many of them will work for days at a time on nothing except coca leaves, which they begin to chew at breakfast time and continue to chew throughout the day. As with all narcotics, the per- sistent use of coca wrecks the nervous system and dulls the intellect.— Youth’s Companion. Better Than Pills For Liver Ills.
