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. ! Burglary. Last Saturday night Robert Dodson's drug store was broken into and a number of razors and knives stolen. The party or parties gained entrance | through the Chestnut street door in the same manner as the parties who ! robbed 'lirr. several years ago. "Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß.

Renn Christian, the nine year old" son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Christian of Renovo, who had been visiting his grand parents, Mr. Hiram Moat and family at Mix Run, was accidently shot and instantly killed, by his uncle Albert Moat, aged 19 ye irs, who was handling a revolver, Tuesday, August the 2od. Fire. . Last Thursday evening about 8:30 o'clock, the residence of Franklin Housler was discovered to be on fire, the alarm was given and the boys soon ' had the fire subdued. The fire started I fiom a lamp in the kitchen, which had i beeu sitting too close to the wall. ' Considerable damage was done to the I building. i 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 tive pupils, he will be a teacher and will serve as pastor of an English church. 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. Eye Specialist. Prof. W. H. Budine, the well known Eye Specialist, of Binghamton, N. Y., will be at R. 11. Hirsch's jewelry store. Emporium, Pa, August 12th. If you can't see well or have headache don't fail to call and see Prof. Budine, as he guarantees to cure all such cases. Lenses ground and fitted in old frames. Eyes tested and ex amined free. All work guaranteed. 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. E. L. MASON. Of Household Interest. Housecleaning is not the pleasantest ; of the housekeeper's tasks, but none \ the less necessary on that account. In i the September Delineator Isabel Gor- j don Curtis offers in her series, "The j Making of a Housewife," some sugges- : tions that will tend to lighten the labor and lessen the disagreeableness of this i household duty. # Other items of domestic interest in the same number are illustrated cookery and a variety of recipes under the topics "Delicious Cream Jellies," "Decorative Color Salads" and"The Potato." In addi tion, Alice M. Kellogg explains "How to Select Finishing Hardware" and Ward MacLeod writes on "Growing Bulbs Indoors " Locnl news on every page. 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.

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. Lulu Miller Dead. Miss Lulu Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Miller, of Castle Garden, died at the residence of her parents on Monday, aged 24 years. The young lady was taken sick last Friday and was not considered dangerous but on Monday at three o'clock she passed ! away. The lady is well spoken of by : all who knew her. The funeral took ■ place from the home and interment was made in the Castle Garden ceme tery yesterday afternoon, and was very largely attended.

A Buffalo dispatch of August 1, says: "The Pittsburg, Shawmut & North ern Railroad Company was placed in the hands of a receiver to-day by Jus tice Kenefick.

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. The National Flower. Arrangements are being made by the Ladies' Society of Emmanuel church, for the production at an early date of a pleasing operetta, entitled "The Na tional Flower." This operetta, which will be given under the direction of the author, Mr. John Sinclair, organist of Grace Church Ridgway, is an ad aptation of Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Trial By Jury." Various flowers, repre sented by classos of girls, compete for recognition as the national flower of America, their claims being heard be fore a jury of eighteen musical ma trons. The parts of Uncle Sam, the oak, the onion, etc., require baritone and bass interpretation. Nearly one hundred voices will be required.
