I IIE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 41. Man About Town. We noticed in one of our millinery stores the other day a lady purchasing a hat;the lady in attendance remarked; 'the white feather on the hat makes you look five years younger." V\ ith a smilo on her face you could not wipe ofi with a laco handkerchief she said,"put three more feathers like that on the hat and I will take it." We noticed one of our leading phy sicians riding in a carriage behind the hearse; it looked very much to us like cause following effect. We are having strikes and rumors of strikes; men want their wages raised and they want shorter hours, so they will have time to spend the raise. We read in India in some places they bary the living wife with the dead husband. The poor husband,evea death doesn't bring him no release. It wouldn't be hard to be real good if there was much fun in it. We met a young lady the other night that was a wonder, she couldn't play on the piano; she couldn't sing, In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree; she couldn't recite "Curfew shall uotring to night"; and she didn't chew gum; but she was only six mouths old. The questions before the Windowsill Club at the last meeting were; "If a young man's arm has the right of way around a young lady ! s waist is he try ing to railroad himself into her affec tions"; and "Will feeding a hen egg plant increase her laying qualities." Henry Zarps says a woman can't drive a nail or a horse but when it comes to driving a bargain, she is there with both feet. A little fellow living on Fifth street, when going to bed the other night, his mother asked him if he had said his prayers. Gracious yes, said he, I have said them three weeks ahead. Uncle Peter tells of a man who had a five cent cigar named after him and when he found they were selling them two for five he committed sui cide. We read the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia make a locomo tive every hour. That's nothing strange wa have made the Erie mail train here in three minutes. Time is money ; we have some time we would like to get changed into small bills. Some how time never seems to hang heavily on the hands of a clock. At the next meeting of the council, they will be asked to appropriate money to buy a scythe for Chief Mundy to be used in keeping the weeds cut in the streets the coming summer. A lady living up near the tannery hands in the following. It is a little tough on brother Kenley but he can stand it: I don't know where Im going. When I leave this vale of tears, Maybe to that awful place, And yet it kind 'o cheers, To think, while there and walking Along the streets, I'll pass The man that robbed the people, Selling poor St. Marys Gas. * * * Speaking of our beautiful young ladles she gets a little sarcastic and says: Thero are girls here in Em po ri-um, From morning till nightthey chew gum, They watch for the new comers, And flirt with the drummers, At night when they ought to be 'hum # # Lent is nearly over, our good inten tious have all been lived up to, thero being a scarcity of ministers in town at present it behoves us brethren, to join handsand put thedevilout of business. * •* Brother Pyle believes in an open door policy; says when he plays the game, if he ever does, he don't want to sneak around to a side door; says he believes in a permanent investment and thinks the most permanent investment, a man can make is to buy a lot in the cemetery.

M. Johnson, who has been two years at Wiiliamsport goes to Altoona; Rev. E. E. A. Deavor, after three years as York, Pa., goes to Montoursville. What's in McClure's. McClure's for April has the freshness and cheerfulness of spring. You will want to read it all. Its articles, stories and verses, have a rare charm for the shortening evening. Mary Stewart Cutting's "Symphony in Coal," which heads the table of contents, is another of those fascinating, sympathetic stor ies of married life. The most hair raising chapter of .adventure that has been published in a long time is the sixth instalment of Carl Schurz's "Re miniscences of a Long Life" "Rescuing Kinkel from Spandau Jail" is a story of intrigue and hair breadth chances in the shadow of the gallows, told with the happy swing of youth, that holds yon from first word to last. Best of all it is true. "Some Diet Delusions" by Dr. Wood Hutchinson, is not only amusing; it has a very definite purpose it scares away the old bogies. After you have read it, you will eat a square meal with a clear conscience. Perhaps the most timely paper in the number is Percival Gibbon's sketch of Count Witte, who is the crux of the situation in Russia. Clara Morrs contributes another charming chapter of reminis. cences of the world behind the curtain, through which walk many of the old actors and actresses of our early days. Stewart Edward White's fourth Ari zona Night story, "The Ranch Fore man's Yarn;" the Cattle Rustler story, gives a phase of western life about which little has been written hitherto. The story defines a bad man in no un certain terms. Other fiction in this splendid number. Emporium Lodge, I. O. O. F., No. 981.

Doctor Torrey has been justly criticized for seeking to convert children by appealing to their fears. It IH doubtful if even St. John the Bap tist would have addressed such appeals to children. And yet it was of the Baptist that Christ said that "lie that is the least in the Kingdon of God is greater than he." The chief and high est appeal to Christianity is ever to the love and honor of men. Nevertheless it is a mistake to assume that fear has no proper educative value and no legitimate place in the religious appeal. By nature we are undisci plined. Obedience is always some thing that has to be, learned, and learned usually through pain and suf fering. At first wo do not understand what is best for us. If left wholly free from .constraint we should be sure to wander into ways that are not the best. Conformity to the right way has there fore to be enforced upon us, and this experience is always one of hardship to us. But the time comes to most of us when we realize that the path which we have begun to tread unwillingly is af ter all the right path for us. We goon in it, not because we are still compelled to, but we have chosen it for ourselves. We are then subject, no longer for wrath, but also for conscience' sake. It is a law of tl.e development of human lTfe and character, that obedience to the right begins blindly and unwilling ly. There is a stage when every child /submits blindly, and even unwillingly, to parental control and guidance It is necessary at this stage that authority should be enforced, not capriciously nor cruelly, but wisely, firmly, kindly. The fear to which appeal is made is not the fear of tyrannous cruelty, but the fear of just and benevolent authority. When authority is firmly enforced in this spirit, the effect is educative, and tends to lift the character to a higher plane of obedience, an obedience based in trust and sympathy, in intelligent | understanding and sense of right.

A Fitting Tribute to a Brilliant Man From His Home Paper. [Dußois Courier, March 21.J The death of the Hon. W. C. Arnold, which was announced yesterday with out. the faintest anticipation, removes from the community one of its most prominent and influential citizens. It leaves a void in the ranks of his pro fession in the county and his town, and in social and political circles. The final call removed him at the time when he had been ripened by experience for l.i« greatest usefulness —for most valuable counsel either professional or as a friend. Those who are acquainted with his career know that ho was initiative in his habits and general character He was much less an imitator than many men who achieve a large measure of success, which made his cause and position thoroughly representative of the individual. Whenever he took up a cause he did so to battle for victory. He had the courage to strike bold, hard blows where the it-sues required it, yet he was a man of large heart and none was ever more ready to bridge a chasm when the flag of truce was sincerely offererd. His suave countenance, bearing, outspoken loy alty to his community and great mag nanimity made him an exceptionally popular citizen and much loved by those who knew best his qualities of mind and heart. The charity in his heart for his fellowmen was so broad and deep that it was known to all men who ever carried their troubles to him. They always found him a wise counselor, sympathetic and frank in his counsel. Notation of Appreciation. EMPUKIUM, Pa., March 17, 1906. At a meeting of the Official Board of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Emporium the following minutes were unanimously adopted: As Rev. O. S. Metzler, who has been pastor for the past six years, has indi cated to us that the probabilities are that at the coming Conference he would be transferred to another charge we desire to express to him our appre ciation of his services while our pastor, : and to say, when he came to us we , were burdened with a debt of five thousand dollars, which he collected and paid in two years, that he after wards installed a splendid pipe organ at a cost of two thousand, twojhundred dollars; that a new steam heating plant has been placed in the church, and re cently a new piano purchased and the new hymnals ordered. The missionary collection has increased from $334.00 to $435.00 and the membership of the church from 239 to 840 For this ever faithful and watchful care of the interests of the Church we express to him our sincere thanks and we commend him to any Church to which he may be sent, as an eloquent and successful pulpit orator. We present to Brother Metzler a copy of this expression of our appreciation and our good-will and also send copies to Rev. J. F. Berry Presiding Bishop and Rev. Thomas Wilcox Presiding Elder of this District, and direct that these minutes be transcribed upon the church records Married at Olean. Mr. Asa Murray of town, and Miss Elizabeth Devling, of Sterling Run were married at Olean last Thursday' Rev. Weidman, pastor of German Lutheran Church officiating.

Pour gentlemen or foreign birth, Had started on a trip, Of pleasure to America's fair shore, They landed safe and happy From ofr the big steamship. And wondered what the future held in .store.

In Philadelphia and New York, And at Niagara Nails, At Saratoga, Buffalo and Troy, Then Williamsport and Scranton, Their admiration called, And many pleasant hours were enjoyed. They visited Emporium, and While walking down the streets, 1 hey came upon a handsome business block. And from an open door, the strains, Of music low and sweet, tell softly on theirears and made thorn ;.top. Let s all go in,,' the German said, "And" spend a little time. To listen to the latest song or laugh: If my ears do not deceive me, Those sweet, harmonious chimes, Are rendered by the Edison Phonograph. ' They quickly passed into the store. And to the merchant spoke, And said, "kind sir, a favor we would ask, Will you play each of us a piece? Your patience we invoke, And we will gladly pay you for your tart." "With pleasure, sirs," the merchat said, "To please you is our aim, Our records, they are strictly up-to-date. So if you kindly condescend To give to me Hie names, I will gladly play for you while yon w&tt." "Please play forme, 'God Sake the King , ' The Englishman replied, To my poor ear, there's nothing quite so fine." The Frenchman wished "The Gran.l Mar scellies," Its same has never died, The German chose "The Good Watch . n the Rhine." "I love the tune, 'St. Patrick's Day'," The Irishman then said, 'lt puts me in the proper manner, To listen to another tune For which brave men have bled; I lease give us next your own—"Star pan;; le«l Banner." These four men then took off their hats, Each clasped the merchant's hand, Said they, "the greatest pleasure we've en joyed, Is listening to the music, Of the Edison Phonograph, In the well appointed store of Harry Lloyd.' Then they departed 011 their way, Best wishes followed them. Each holding a neat package at his side, Which contained a modern wonder. The Edison Phonograph, Which was purchased from our good trier,d, Harry Lloyd. —John F. Sullivan. The Old and the New. Rev. Mr. Metzler, who so creditably served the Emporium Methodist church for six years, departed on Wednesday for eastern points on hnsv ness before entering upon hio new work at Williamsport, having beon appointed to Mulberry street church. He will hold his own as one of tho ablest and most eloquent divines 111 the state. The new pastor coming to Empori um is Rev. Nelson E. Cleaver, of Dan ville, Pa., Trinity Church.
