f PLEASANT GAP.
L. H. Wian (retired), and wife
spent the past week at the Gap.
Th Jerry Gill family spent Sunday
in Altoona, calling on old-time friends.
Mrs. Edgar Houser and son May-
nard, have returned from a ten day’s
visit to Clearfield.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Atcherson mo-
tored to Lewisburg on Friday last, on
a special business trip.
William Bilger, of Cleveland, Ohio,
is visiting his parents. William has
a permanent position in that city.
Qur old-time friend, Ward Hile and
wife, have returned east from Minne-
sota and expect to make the Gap their
future home.
Mrs. Raymond Melroy, after an ab-
sence of five weeks in the eastern part
of the State, has returned home, and
is greeting her many friends here.
Miss Pauline Noll, of Philadelphia,
who has been visiting her parents for
the past month, has returned to the
Quaker city to resume her studies.
Very little doing in politics here.
Not a candidate has visited the Gap
since the primary election. Possibly
the aspirants think the final result is
a foregone conclusion.
Harry Grove and family motored
over to the Gap on Saturday last from
Lewistown. Mrs. Grove and the chil-
dren stopped with mother Herman,
while Harry proceeded to Lemont to
visit his father. All returned to Lew-
istown Sunday evening.
George Magargel and Earl Markle,
according to town report, very fool-
ishly skipped out on Saturday taking
with them the Magargel automobile,
notice of which has been broadcasted
over central Pennsylvania. It is a
pity, as both. boys have excellent
"homes.
I had occasion to take a walk down
to the cross-roads a few evenings ago
and incidentally met my old friend,
Billy Ross, who, as usual, opened up
a political controversy and wanted my
opinion on the political situation.
While we differ politically we are very
good friends outside of that perplex-
ing proposition. To begin with I told
him I really could not understand why
so many women favored Judge Dale,
when most of the aspirants for judi-
cial honors are just as sincere prohi-
bitionists as is his Honor. Billy re-
plied, “that is dead easy; you must
understand in the first place that
Judge Dale is the youngest candidate
aspiring, and secondly, he is rather
prepossessing in appearance. As the
women have it, he is, to say the least,
good looking, and you know that ap-
peals to the women.”
The Klan’s big blowout at Hecla
park on Saturday was the talk of our
village. It is claimed that the turn-
out exceeded in actual numbers any
entertainment held there in years. It
was a central Pennsylvania outpour-
ing. The affair was most orderly iu
every detail, from start to finish. The
Klansmen here and their friends ad-
ded materially in making the enter-
‘tainment an unbounded success. The
address by Rev. Williams, of Tyrone,
was regarded as a most wonderful and
appropriate rendition. It is a well
known fact that Rev. Williams never
opens his mouth without saying some-
thing to interest his hearers. He is
cautious, but not timid; brave in his
endeavor, but not heedless; his elo-
quence is argumentative, not mechan-
ical; with emotion sufficient to fix
his facts in a flow of masterly speech.
He does not indulge in flights of fan-
cy, but knows how and when to
speak. He is master of all his en-
deavors.
I frequently feel sad when I take
into consideration hew fast we are
passing away—then, how uncertain is
life! We are here today, tomorrow
we may be in Eternity. In 1868 we
framed the charter of the Logan Fire
Co., of Bellefonte; today there are
only two of us left who signed that
charter. Then again, 65 years ago
Bellefonte had a very creditable class
of business men, mostly prosperous,
contented and happy; today there are
only four of us left of the entire hap-
py aggregation. My good old friends
Frank P. Green and grocer Sechler
were among the last to pass away. My
good old friend, Charles T. Fryberger,
of Philipsburg, myself and two others
are all that survive. There is but a
breath of air and a beat of the heart
‘betwixt this world and the next. The
last faint pulsation here is but the
prelude of endless life hereafter. How
blind and perverse is man’s nature!
He buries himself with the fleeting
vanities of this vain world; seeks ea-
gerly after idle bubble, reputation;
directs the whole energies of his mind
to the accomplishment of some trifling
object; scales the political ladder to
move and control masses by the force
of his puny intellect; embarks on the
most perilous voyages to visit the
most distant and unhealthy climes;
and, in the midst of his petty schemes
and speculations, the angel of death
summons him to appear before that
dread tribunal, where he will be judg-
ed according to the acts done here in
the body. The pale marble will rise
in the cemetery of the dead, telling
us sometimes, what they were, but
more often what they ought to have
been. Oh, the grave! from its force-
ful bosom springs none but final re-
grets and kindly recollections. Who
can look down upon the grave, even of
an enemy, and not feel a compunctious
throb that he should ever have warred
with the poor handful of earth that
lies mouldering beneath him? What
a place for meditation! The love that
survives the tomb is one of the noblest
atributes of the soul. No, there is a
voice from the tomb sweeter than
song; there is a remembrance of the |
dead to which we turn even from the
charms of the living, and hope tells
us we shall be united to them again in
that blessed realm, “Not my will, but
Thine, O God, be done.”

| Play Rehearsals Tax
Patience and Temper
Rehearsals are trying periods. Ev-
erybody seems to be wearing his
nerves outside his skin. The question
whether the actor should take three
steps to the right and pause with his
left hand on the back of a chalr, cen-
ter, before proposing fo the heroine
or whether he should do It from the
hearthrug, with his left elbow on the
mantelpiece, may threaten the friend
ship of a lifetime. rer REET
The author wants him to do it from
the hearthrug—is convinced that from
there and there only can he convey to
the heroine the depth and sincerity of
his passion. The producer Is positive
that a true gentleman would walk
around the top of the table and do it
from behind a chair. The actor
comes to the rescue. He “feels” he
can do it only from the left-hand bo*
tom corner of the table.
“Oh, well, if you feel as strongly
about it as al that, my dear boy,” |
says the producer, “that ends it. It's
you who've got to play the part.”
“Do you know,” says the author, “I |
think he's right. It does seem to
come better from there.”
The rehearsal proceeds. Five min-
utes later the argument whether a fa-
ther would naturally curse his child
before or after she has taken off her
hat provides a new crisis.—Jerome EK.
Jerome, in Harper's Magazine.
Totem Poles Figure
in Religious Belief
The western and northern Indians
aave no monopoly on the ornamental
totem, according to those who have
made a study of the subject. Totem-
isin appears in kindred forms all over
the world, Savage tribes all apparent-
ly possess a set of beilefs and prac-
tices, mythological, religious, artistic,
ceremonial and economic, that grow
from their attitude toward animals,
plants and inanimate objects. These
beliefs and practices govern their
mode of life and give rise to thelr
forms of worship. This idea still lin-
gers with the Alaskan Indians In the
significance the totem has In regard
to_their family and the family myths
and superstitions. These Indians be-
lleve they are descended from some
bird, fish, Least or other object, and
take this as their symbol.
blem chosen is carved or painted om |
all belongings, and is regarded as the
visible being who has to do with their
welfare, and carries with it certain
obligations. Those with the same
crest, for instance, cannot intermarry.
Christianity Is in some places leading
to abolition of the totem.—Nature
Magazine.
Relics of Pagan Days
Not everybody knows that ever)
¢ime he or she writes down the namie
of the day of the week, the name of a
Pagan god or goddess is being perpetu-
ated. When England passed under
the sway of the Norsemen the people
largely adopted the Norse system of
gods, fitting them in to the nearest
corresponding planet or deity of the
Roman calendar.
—the Roman god of war—turned Into
Tiu’s daeg or day—Tiu being the
Norse god of war; the Day of Mercury
into Woden’s daeg, Jupiter's day into
Thor's day, and the Day of Venus
into the Day of Freya, the Norse god-
dess of love, corresponding with Ve-
nus. Whether Saturn’s day remained
as it was or turned into the Day of
Saeter, we don’t know for certain. But
the Sun’s day and the Moon's day are
obvious.
Work and Worry
That “laughing philosopher” of ola,
Democritus, jesting at mankind's anx-
jeties, lived to a great age. We all
admit that it is not work but worry
that kills. Both of these call for the
expenditure of a proportionate amount
of nervous energy. Work, however,
has a definite aim and termination,
the result of which is the feeling of
serene satisfaction we all hage in work
accomplished. On the other hand,
worry, having no definite objective, is
endless, achieving nothing beyond a
prodigal waste of energy, accompa-
nied v actual wear and tear of gray
matter and nerves that may in the
long run be productive of physical
wreckage.—Exchange.
No Dry Cell for Him
Sim Updike was taken into coum
the other day as the result of having
a slight mixup with a clerk in the Cash
Food store. It seems they were argu-
ing over a baseball game and the clerk
hit Sim with a 10-cent bag of salt he
happened to have in his hand. Sim
countered with a B-battery he was
taking back to a radio store on ac-
count of its being rum down. The
judge sald this was the clearest case
of assault and battery that had ever
come before him, and that both parties
seemed equally guilty. Sim pleaded,
however, that as the battery was dis-
charged he should also be discharged,
and the judge saw the logic of it and
let kim off.
The Law’s Delay
The longest lawsuit 1 have ever
neard of is one that was started in
the Ninth century—and it is still go-
ing on! It crops up periodically In
the republic of Andorra, in the Pyre-
nees, and relates to some property
referred to in a contract drawn up
over 1,000 years ago. The laws of
Andorra are in a somewhat undecided
state, and there is no immediate pros-
pect of the case being settled. The
lawsult {s thus about a thousand years
old.—TIit-Bits:

All bulbs should be put in the
ground in the fall, and the wise gard-
ener gets in her order as soon as the
catalogues come. With the exception
of the Madonna Lily (lilium candid-
um) which makes a leaf growth in the
fall and which, whenever possible
, should be planted in August, bulbs do
not need to go into the ground, as
early as perennials. The last two

November is the usual season. sur-

: cause contact with rich soil often rots
them, and be sure to place them at
‘least four times deeper than their
size,
t After the stalks of gladioli have
withered they should be dug up, al-
lowed to dry thoroughly and placed in
sand in a cool room where they will
not freeze. Follow this method with
all tender bulbs.

gathered until they have been turn-

! very carefully, remove the soil anc
: bring them indoors to dry. It is wise
to allow them at least a week to be-
come thoroughly dry, then inspect
them for any decayed bits which, of
| course, should be cut away. After
{this has been done, the bulbs are
‘ready to be placed in the sand upside
down and put in a dry and cool place.

Why Gypsies Claim the Right to Steal
Gypsies have always, whether just-
ly or unjustly, been labeled as chron-
ic thieves. The Romany has ever felt
that the world is against him and col-
lects toll. Gypsies were severely
persecuted in days gone by and, until
less than 100 years ago, there was a
law in England making it a crime,
punishable by hanging, simpiy to be-
long to the race or to speak their lan-
guage.
There is a legend among the Alsa-
tian gypsies that when Christ was to
be crucified the Roman soldiers came
to a gypsy smith and asked him to
forge the four nails for the cross, one
for each limb. The gypsy refused in
. spite of every threat and when the
nails were finally made by a Jewish
smith the gypsy tried to steal them.
{ He succeeded in stealing only one and
that is why on the crucifix one sees
both feet held by a single nail. To
reward the gypsy for his most laud-
: able efforts the Lord has granted per-
mission to every member of the race
| to steal once in seven years. A gyp-
sy does not steal because he is too
| weak to resist the temptation, but
. from topsy-turvy principles.

ally accomplishes its mission is worth
the price to any motorist, says an of-
ficer of the Gulf Refining company, as
the average consumption of gasoline
during the year is about five hundred
gallons per car which figures, at three
cents additional per gallon, the small
sum of $15.00 per annum. The added
power efficiency is worth that, not to
