The Observer.
If the will is the determining factor
in belief, it is also powerful in guiding
and controlling emotion. The "will to
believe" suggests, the "will to feel,"
which is an idea that perhaps runs
counter to some of our preconceived
notions. Just as there is a widespread
impression that we are not responsible
for our beliefs, so there is an impres
sion, equally wide spread, that we are
not responsible for our feelings. The
Observer last week, attempted to show
the baselessness of the first assumption;
he will endeavor now to expose the
fallacy of the second.
It is true that the hand of arbitrary
and violent compulsion cannot be laid
upon our emotions. Mere force and
will power on the part of a gardener
cannot cause the tendrils of a vine to
cling instantly to wall or post. Mere
force connot compel a child to like the
thiugs which he ought to like, or to feel
sorrow and ehame for his misdeeds.
Emotion can no more be forced through
a sheer effort of will than can a cubit
be added to one's stature through a
mere taking of thought. But indirect
ly and mediately emotion may be
trained and controlled to an extent al
most unlimited. By understanding the
nature of emotion and by taking ad
vantage of the laws which govern it,
we may develop and control it with a
success equal to that of Mr. Luther
Burbank in his remarkable achieve
ments with plants.
The great law of emotion is that wo
like that to which we have become ac
customed. It is this law that explains
why, "be it ever so humble, there is no
place like home." It explains
the hold upou us of familiar
faces and scenes and occupa
tions. Let two persons associate close
ly together for a length of time, or
even for a short time under unusual cir
cumstances, and a sense of comrade
ship will be developed between them
which yearsof subsequent absence from
each other may not wholly office
Romantic love between the sexes is
apt to prove evanescent and is in itself
a poor guarantee of the permanence of
the marriage bond; but the association
ofhus'oand aud wife in the home, and
the close community of their interests,
may be relied upon, in the great ma.
jority of cases, to develop in each for
the other, an affection that is both deep
and enduring.
The way to take advantage of the
aw that we like that towhich we are ac
customed, is to accustom ourselves to
that which we ought to like Our en
vironment and associations are largely
a matter of our own making. The
actual world of'men and things, which
surrounds us, is so complex and multi
farious, that no one can be in respon
sive touch with the whole of it. The
world as it exists for each individual is
merely a sort of personal selection of
certain persons and things out of the
great totality of the reai world. One's
world is really therefore an expressian
of his own character and choice. lie
who puts himself in association with
what is evil .and accustoms himself, to
it, is himself responsible for his result
ing love of the evil and repugnance to
wards the good. Our associations and
the likings and loves which spring out
of them should wait upon a high pur
pose and ideal. We should learn to
love what we ought to love. The law
that we like what we are accustomed
to, applies to the word of ideals as well
as to the world of acuality. If we ac
custom ourselves to thoughts of"the
things that are more excellent," we
shall grow more and more to like those
things, and to grow into the likeness
of them.
To one who is enslaved to some par
ticular vice, the opposite virtue may
seem hard and repellent. But let him
cherish the thought of that virtue, and
gradually he will come to love it. It is
possible, in no hypocritical sense,to as
sume a virtne if we have it not. If one
accustoms himself to think aud speak
kindly, even when the inward feeling
is anything but kindly, the habit of
kindly feeling itself will surely grow
upon him. Mere emotion in not an
end in itself but only a means to an j
end. If, as oftens happens, a passing !
emotion stands in the light of our high- j
er purpose and duty, we have a rtght to j
deny and disregard the passing emo- i
tion, which to all intents is a traitor to !
our real self, and t<> assume the prCs- i
ence of the emotion which would re- J
fleet our true thought and intention. !

Rev. Mr. Bower to Leave.
The Rev. 11. C. Bower, preacher in 1
charge of the Cameron Circuit, appear
ed before the Missionary Committee of
the Methodist Episcopal Church in
New York City last week and having
passed a satisfactory examination was
accepted as a Missionary to India.
Tn a school of over seven hundred na

His successor has not yet been nam ed
Located in Emporium.
Mr. J. Paul Felt, son of our respect
ed townsman, Mr. J. P. Felt, has loca
ted in Emporium permanently, being
associated with Mr. B. W. Green. Mr.
Felt is a gruduate of University of
Pennsylvania Law Department and
has practiced in Philadelphia since his
graduation. There is something pecu
liar about Emporium, for once a resi
dent of our beautiful little mountain
city all are satisfied to return. We
think Mr. Felt has made a wise choice
and hope he may realize his fondest
expectations.
Coming Conferences on Divorce.
One good result of recent agitations
in religious conventions and assem
blies of the question how to remedy or
stay the growing evil of divorce, has
been the direction of attention to this
subject by federal and state executives
and legislatures. At the invitation of 1
Governor Pennvpacker, there will
shortly be held in Washington a con
ference of representatives appointed
by the governors of the several states,
constituting the National Divorce
Law Commission. The purpose of
this conference, as indicated by Gover- j
ner Pennypacker, is to promote uni- !
uniformity of divorce legislation. The
Governor has expressed himself strong- '
lp in favor of limiting the number of
recognized causes of divorce.
This conference will follow a confer
ence of a national coinmiesion on the
same subject, at Narraganset Pier,
August 18th.
This is, we believe, the first time that
organized attention has ever been
given to this subject outside of church
conventions. The public sentiment
against the scandalous and alarming fre
quency of divorce is growing rapidly; I
and it is reasonable to hope that these
coming conferences will result in a
long stride towards uniformity of sane
and conservative divorce laws among
the several states.

A Trip Down the County.
| Cameron county has several fine
gingseng gardens well started. One
J good one up North Creek and three at
Sinnamahoning. Mr. Krebs of Sinna
mahoning has a very fine garden,
j nearly half of which is ready to dig
| this fall. Cameron county is a natural
: home for genseng, much of it growing
iin the woods wild. This is now get
! ting scarce and I think persons having
only a little land will do well to set out
, a few roots, as prices aro still showing
j upward tendencies.
; There is much said about cultivated
j roots not being salable, or bringing
I lower prices than the wild root, but
; Vice Consul Cloud, Hangchua, China,
I does not even hint at this in his report
ion ginseng, but on the other hand
| classes Americrn grown ginseng as be
! ing third class, that is, Hsi yang slien,
j known as "foreign ginseng." Now as
I there are five varieties of ginseng, and
i American being third, I get consider
| able encouragement from the report,
i Of course we cannot compete with the
j genuine Manchuria root, "Lao-shan
i y'eh shen" selling at $135.00 per one
j and one third ounce; but grade five,
Korea, sells at 35c per one and one
third ounce; while the "foreign," Am
erican brings 65c to 70c per one and
one-third ounce. These prices are gold,
j Our 70c looks small by the side of the
I Manchuria grade, coming from Kirin,
' but it is not as small as the Korean 35c.
j There was a small lot of cultivated
j loots shipped from New York that the
, Chinese refused as being under grade,
j These roots were spoiled by fertilizing
|so heavy as to spoil the flavor. Grow
' ers should learn a lesson from this.
Being interested in the ginseng in
■ dustry, I went down to Sintia
j namahoning to see the ginseng gar
dens there. Never having been over
j the roads before, I naturally inquired
I whether I would find rough riding
I down that way, and from the inquir
ies I made, I was at loss to know
wnether togo by train or by wheel,
but finally chanced the wheel. Leav
ing Emporium at eight o'clock, I pass
ed through as fine scenery and over as
good roads as I would ever wish
to find. Stopping on the hill-tops
to view the beautiful scenery and to
pick what huckleberries T could eat, I
did not arrive at Sinnamahoning until
half past eleven. This being my first
trip over the road, there was too much
for me to see to make any kind of time,
; but not on account of poor roads, as I
made the return trip in one hour and
a half.
Over this route there are long
j stretches of the finest kind of road, but
j there are also short stony pieces and
sharp curves that could easily be made
' much better by using a little dyna-
I mite and a little work. I expect these
| places would jar a buggy some in pass
j ing over them.
Arriving at Sinnamahoning I have
| never met a more friendly or accom-
I modating people, in fact all the peo
: pie I met going or coming were as fine
j hospitable people .is can be found in
j the state. My motor-cycle excited
some curosity along the road and as
Driftwood and Sinnamahoning, and I
was asked many questions as to how I
managed to handle it, but could not
induce anybody to take a ride on it.
! Gasolene is kept for sale at Driftwood,
so autos need not be afraid togo down
that way, but I expect some of those
stony places below Sterling Run would
shake up anything that went on four
wheels, but these places are very short
and soon over. "
On this trip I saw four rabbits and
one pheasant, showing a good out
for game this fall. With the scenery
along this route, and game in the
roads, it ought to be a fine trip for the
amateur photographer, aud, if they
are used as well as I was, they
would not stop at one trip, for T cer
tainly was never treated better in my
life, than by the people along this
route.

Two Women Locked Up.
On Tuesday evening, Chief of Police
Mundy arrested Charles Irvin, who
was in company with Esther Mundy,
widow of the late Jas. Mundy, and
Emma Dezal, all of whom had imbibed
too freely of bad whisky, and proceed
ed with him to the lockup, but the
Mundy woman followed and became
so offensive, that the chief had to take
charge of her. The woman then open
ed up her abuse in a most disgraceful
manner, but her and Irvin were soon
landed in the borough lockup. Later
in the evening the Dezal woman again
made her appearance and she too was
put away to sober up.
On Wednesday morning they were
given a hearing before Squire Larra
bee, who fined Irvin $7.00 and the
women $5.00 each, which fine they re
fused to pay and as a result, at this
writing, they are still locked up. The
women have visited here a number of
times, but this is the first time they
have been fortunate enough to stop
where the bill of fare and other accom
modations are so elaborate.

Death of Mrs. A. W. Baker.
Word was received in Emporium
last Sunday morning of the death of
Mrs. Annie Shrimp Baker, wife of our
former townsman, Albra W. Baker, M.
D.. at their home in Williamsport, at
9:35 o'clock, Saturday evening. The
interment took place in Wildwood
Cemetery Williamsport, on Tuesday
morning. Mrs. Baker had long been a
sufferer from chronic rheumatism; and
it was in the hope that a cheuge of
residence might prove benefical to her,
that Dr. Baker was induced to remove
to Williamsport two years ago. This
hope was sadly disappointed, for with
in a few mouths after their removal un
mistakable symptoms of an alarming
nature developed, aud since then she
was almost continually at death's
door.
Dr. and Mrs. Baker were residents
of Emporium for ten years, and both
were held in the highest esteem of our
people. So deep was the hold which
they gained upon the affection and life
of the community that the lapse of two
years has diminished naught from it.
Mrs. Baker's personality was singular
ly lovable, and winsome. Her ex
ample of wifely devotion; her true
hearted, sympathetic intereet in others;
her ministrations to those in suffering
and distress; her friendship for the
friendless; her love for the children of
her acquaintance, and her extraordin
ary power of winning their affection
and of influencing t hem for good; and
her labors in the Suuday school, and
other activities, of Emmanuel Parish,
of which her husband was a vestry,
man; will be held in grateful and last
ing remembrance.

Base Ball.
There will be a game of ball bet ween
the Old Leaguers of Renovo and the
Emporium team at the Keystone Park,
next Saturday the 12th, game to be
called at three o'clock. All lovers of
this great American game should seo
it as this promises to be a good one.

A very interesting (?) and exciting
game of ball was played at Keystone
Park last Friday, by tile Y. M. I. Jrs.,
of St. Marys and the "Steenth Team"
of this place. The score resulted in a
victory for St. Marys, 15 to 6. By a
glance at the score book, the Empori
um team must have put up a snappy
article of ball juggling, only making 21
errors, while St. Marys had the honor
of making but half that number.
While we do not profess to know the
many different terms for plays, but one
player is credited with three "navy
yard" home runs, while in the grand
total of runs his record shows but one
soore. We confess we dislike to pub
lish the tabulated account of the game
owing to the humiliation it might
cause some of the boys. Try it again,

The base ball team went to Port Al
legany on Saturday and defeated that,
team by a score of 10 to 4. Orvis Hem
phill had his eye on the ball —out of
four times up, had a home run, a two
bagger, and a single, making three of
the eight hits made by the Emporium
team. Orvis is always there with the.
goods and is one of the best players on
our team.
