The Insurgent.
We have insurgents in all the
walks of life as well as in politics.
An insurgent is one wlio lias an
insubordinate and rebellious dis
position. He likes io he disagree
able and to kick np trouble. He is
happy only when doing his best to
make himself and everybody else
miserable. lie loves to find fault,
ami acts 011 the theory that the
world can be scolded into perfec
tion. He is so certain that the
world is going to ruin that any
attempt to reassure him is taken as
an insult to his sagacity.
An insurgent in a household
keeps the whole family in an up
roar. Everything displeases him.
He sniffs the air for bad orders and
scowls at everything, and looks
about eagerly for something to com
plain of. It is not in his nature to
praise or •commend. Perfections
offends him more than faults. He
thinks he is doing his duty only
when frowning and scolding.
This fault-finding is a disease. It
is the jaundice of the soul. What
the world needs is encouragenent.
The wish to approve, to scatter
joy and not pain about you, makes
you hopeful and agreeable, puts
color into you cheeks and a kindly
curl iu the corners of your mouth.
The insurgent's liver is out of
order, and that makes him think
that the country is going to the
dogs. He does not count the
blessings of life. He is constantly
snooping around to find something
to grumble about, and the greatest
calamity that could happen him
would be failure to find it. He is
an, owl, that loves the darkness,
and his hoot is always melancholy.
To jeer and sneer is devilish. To
appreciate and to praise is angelic.
Beware of the person who sniffs.
What is the use in whining
about the faults and imperfections
of the world? God made it so.
You cannot change it. You will
do well to correct a single one of
your own faults, much less all the
faults of the world: ''To reform a
man,"says Victor Hugo, "you
must begin with his grandmother."
Every man should practice his
reform theories on himself.
The natural born insurgent, the
grumbler, fault-finder and pessi
mist—never smiles. lie only grins.
He has a hard, sad, meat-axe ex
press-ion which stabs the joys of
life and gives you the impression
that his shoes hurt his feet.
These people we have always had
in the world, and always will, and
Ave must endure them. But we
should not be lead into the dark
caverns of their gloomy philosophy,
strewn with skulls and dead men's
bones. Let up keep in the sunlight.
Let us thank Heaven for the
manifold blessings of of life, for the
good men and true women who
people the world, and let our eyes
be turned .always towards the dawn.
Let ns seek rather to correct our
own faults than to exaggerate those
of our neighbors.
Blessed be that man and beloved
of all the gods, who neither sniffs
nor snoops.—Punxsy Spirit.
"Hume years ago while at MarHnsbnrg,
W. Va., I was taken with cholera morbus
which was followed by diarrhoea. The
doctor's medicine did uie no good. I was
advised to get a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
which I did, and it cured lue sound and
well—G. A. Morris, F.mbreeville, Pa.

Astounding Discovery.
From Cnopessville, Mich., conies word
of a wonderful discovery of a pleasant
tasting liquid that when used before
retiring by any one troubled with a bad
cough always ensures a good night's rest.
"It will soon cure the cough too," writes
Mrs. S. Hinielburger, "for three genera
tions of our family have used Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption aud
never found it's equal tor Coughs and
Colds." It's an unrivaled lite-saver when
used for desperate lung diseases. Guaran
teed bottles 50c aud 81.00 at L. Taggart's.
Trial bottles free.
Luck may carry a man across the
brook if he will leap.
Spreads Like Wildfire.
When tilings are "the best'' they be
come "the best selling." Abraham Hare,
n leading druggist, of Belleville, 0.,
writes: "Electric Bitters are the best
soiling bitters I have handled in 20
yeais." You know why? Most diseasts
begin in disorders ot stomach, liver,
kidneys, bowels, blood and nerves. Elec
tric Bitters tones up the stomach, regu
lates liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies
the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence
cures multitudes of maladies. It builds
up the entire system. Puts new life and
vigor into any weak, sickly, run-down
man or woman. Price 50 cents. Sold by
L. Taggart druggist.

A Violent Attack of Croup Cured.
"Last winter an infant child of mine
had croup in a violent form," says Elder
John W. Rogers, a Christian Evangelist,
of Filley, Mo. "1 gave her a few doses
ot Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in
a short time all danger was past and the I
child recovered " This remedy not only ;
cures croup, but when given as soou as j
the first syinptons appear will prevent j
the attack. It contains no opium or |
other harmlul substance and may begiven j
as confidently to a baby as to an adult.

A hand f'nll of luck is better than a j
sack full of sense.
Jumped on a Ten Penny Nail.
The little daughter of Mr. J. N.
Powell jumped on an inverted rake made
of ten penny nails, and thrust one nail
entirely through her foot and a second
one half way through. Chamberlain's
Pain Balm was promptly applied and
five minutes later the pain had disappear
ed and no more suffering was experienced.
In three days the child was wearing her
shoe as usual and with absolutely no
discomfort. Mr. Powell is a well known
merchant of Forkland, Va. Pain Balm
is an antiseptic and heals such injuries
without maturation and in one-third the
}ime required by the usual treatment.

To the Public.
Allow me to say a few words in praise
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I can
recommend it with the utmost confidence.
It has done good work for me and will do
the same for others. I had a very severe
cough and cold and feared I would get
pneumonia, but after taking the second
dose of this medicine I felt better, three
bottles of it cured my cold and the pains
in my chest disappeared entirely. lam

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1901.
Rli I'myrr.
The little son of nn Episcopal clergy- ;
man of Los Angeles wns visiting with I
his mother a Canadian city, where the j
two attended services at a certain j
church. It is the custom in that church j
for the clergyman and congregation to !
bow In silent prayer for a minute or ;
two just before the sermon begins. It
was a new proceeding to the child, for
he was not accustomed to seeing this
done in Ills father's church, but the
Vittle chap bravely and reverently did
his part.
After the service was over the clergy- |
man, one of the old evangelical school, j
who had noticed the reverence and ap
parent devotion of the child, spoke to
him and commended his reverence with
an affectionate pat on the head. "It
was very pleasing," he remarked to a
group of bystanders, "to see this little j
fellow so deeply engaged in earnest |
prayer just before I began m.v sermon. !
What prayer did you offer to tbrt throne |
of grace, my little boy?"
All unconscious of the effect it pro- j
duced, the little fellow candidly and
instantly replied: "I said: 'Now I lay j
me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my |
soul to keep.* "—San Francisco Argo
naut.
Birds' Rkm Superstition*.
The old, wrinkled, dusky aunties of J
the south tell children: "Do not eat the
bluebirds' eggs. They make you love
to wander." They believe that the pale
blue eggs of that beautiful creature,
"that violet of the air," that bird with
"sky tinge on his back, earth tinge on
ills breast," will make the greedy nest
robber restless as long as he lives. No
place, however enticing, can hold the
being who has once tasted a bluebird's J
egg.
lie who eats a mocking bird's egg j
will be compelled to "tell all he knows." j
The one who robs a killdee's nest and j
eats its eggs will surely break 1111 arm. j
He who eats a dove's egg will be fol- j
lowed by bad luck, while the egg of any j
bird of yellow plumage will be sure to j
cause a fever, and he who eats an owl's j
egg will be always shrieking. The eat
er of a crow's egg will always, as old
aunties say, "be gwine on foolish like a
crow does goon, 'lla, Im, ha!' But a
partridge's egg," they declare, "dudes
make you thrive an' grow fas'. Dey
is de onlies' sort er birds' eggs dat you
kin eat wldout fludin' 'em danger- 1
some."
A Cockney,
Bullokar, the lexicographer who gave
the famous definition for "crocodile
tears," was outdone by Minslien, an
other dictionary maker of London, who
in 1017 issued the work which gave the
following amusing account ol' the or
igin of the word "cockney:" "A cock
ney, or cockny, applied only to one born
within the sound of the How bells—
that is, within the city of London—
whiehe ternie came first out of the fol
lowing tale:
"A citizen's soune, riding with his fa
ther out of London Into the country,
and being a novice and merely ignorant
of how oorne and catel do increase,
asked when he heard a horse neigh
what the horse dide. His father an
swered, 'The horse dotlie neigh.' Hid
ing further, he heard a cock crow aud
said, liothe the eock neigh too?' And
therefore cockney, or eockneigh, by in
version thus: Ineoctus,—i. e., raw or
unripe in countrey-mens affaires."
When the Crowd Gathered.
At the close ol' some sports that were
being held at u country village one of
the competitors, coming across the lo
cal policeman, inquired when the thea
ter opened.
"We have no theater here," said the
policeman.
"Well, the music hall, then?"
"No; nothing of that kind here."
"Have you no evening amusement at
all?" asked the stranger.
"Oh, yes," said the policeman, rising
to the occasion. "If you wait till 9
o'clock, you'll see them shunting the
goods train."—London Spare Moments.
Small Boy's Divorce.
Clarence, aged five, had been severe
ly punished by his parents for disobedi
ence, and the next day, without saying
a word to any one, he called at the of
fice of the family legal ndviser, who
liappei ed to be a particular friend of
the little fellow.
"Well, Clarence," said the man of the
law after shaking hands, "what can I
do for you?"
"Please, Mr. Brown," snld Clarence,
"I want to get a divorce from our fam
ily."—Newark News.
