Edwin S Simirt is going to do with the numerous measures carry in 4 large nppr< nations of money when thej reach him. Some of these bills have merit, while a sreat many have not. Mr. Beidleman, of Dauphin. in troduced a bill adding s2f>o a yea! to the salaries of all state employes receiving less than $2,000 a year. The proposed increase would affect more than 400 office holders. Those inter ested in the bill liav • been trying to get the governor to commit himself before it reaches him. Gov. Stuart, however, has steadfastly refused to goon record regarding this or any other bill before it comes to him for his approval. Gov. Stuart is not very much in favor of boosting salaries or creating flew positions. He would like to see the clerk who draws small wages get more money, for it is generally the underpaid cleric who does the most work. But the trouble Is there arc so many demands made for the state's money that it is hard to draw the lino when it comes to remedying mat ters. The clerks who are back of the bill had Mr. Beidleman present it be cause he is a resident of Harrisburg and knows how much work the men 011 capitol bill are required to do for their money. Bill to Tax Railroads. The bill introduced in the senate by Mr Wilbert, of Allegheny, empow ering cities to tax the real and per sonal property of railroads, street rail roads, telegraph, telephone, water, gas, electric light, heat and public utility companies is likely to be amended so as to include all bor oughs and townships. It is contended that tiie boroughs and townships need the revenue to be derived from such taxation and are just as much en titled to it as are the cities. This is a very important bill and is likely to meet with the combined opposition of all corporations. Local option advocates have been busy at Harrisburg. They are work ing very hard to secure the passage of their bill. It is hard to predict what success the measure will have, but it is certain to cause many a heartache before many days. The opponents of the bill arc working just as hard to keep it witl'in the commit tee. Petitions begging the legislature to pass the bill come pouring in and there is 110 doubt that with many members thoy will have considerable effect. You can't always tell from what a member says just how he is going to vote, and should there be a stampede it is doubtful if anything could defeat the measure. That Constitutional Convention. Sentiment seems to be growing in favor of a constitutional convention. The bill introduced by Senator Lang fitt providing for a vote to be taken on the question is regarded as a very fair one. By putting the question up to the people the election will cost nothing, as it is to 1 e hold on the regular election day. Then if the people decide that .1 constitutional convention is neeesseary the cost of the convention will be borne by the state and will not, be excessive. In fact, it is believed that if it should be decided in convention to have but one election a year instead of two, the state would save more in one year than the expense of the convention would be. Gov. Stuart intimated very strongly that something should be done toward framing :■ new constitu tion for the state, and there is 110 doubt that he would sign the bill if it reaches him. Phillips Has Scheme. A great lot. of illegally drawn bills have been introduced in the legisla ture. Some of them may reach the governor. Then it will be his busi ness to determine their legality or il legality. Of course his attorney gen eral will have to bear the brunt of this work. Senator Phillips, of New Castle, is the author of a plan to create a legislative reference bureau. The scheme is in practical working order in Wisconsin, and many would like to try it here iii Pennsylvania. According to the bill which Senator Phillips is preparing, the duties of the bureau will be to pass upon the constitutional questions involved in the legislation. The bureau also will be available for drafting bills. Mem bers arc obliged to boar this expense themselves at present. * Another idea is to use the card system for index ing the vast collection of information which would be collected bv sttch a bureau. In this way the Pennsyl vania legislature would be in touch with what other states are doing. Would Save Governor. It is Senator Phillips' idea to throw such safeguards about the bureau as will keep it entirely out of politics. li this cannot be done the bureau will be of little According to the vetoes of former Gov. Samuel W. Pennypaeker, many bills passed by the last legislature were killed by him because vt their unconstitutionality. The bureau would be expected to save the governor much trouble in this re spect. It now looks as if the capitol in vestigating commission would not complete its work during the pres ent session of the legislature. The members of the commission are be ginning (o see the v.ii'tness of their work, and it is a safe guess that they will not be through with it until late next fall. They are not likely to work during the summer months, but from present Indications they will have several months' work to do after the legislature adjouri s. It may ho pos sible I hilt toward the clor.c of the session they will ask the K'gislat.nr.- to permit them to make their report to the governor. 13 A\ T 'Q. BARTON. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907. Whore Angels Fear to Tread. A company ot' young American tour ists visited the home of Beethoven in Bonn and were unrestrained in their expressions of wonder, admiration and approval of the room where the mas ter had lived and worked. They ask ed many questions about Beethoven, and finally one young lady seated her self at his piano and proceeded, with true American confidence, to play the "Moonlight Sonata." Beethoven's own work, in his own room, on his own piano. Such an interesting combina tion! The old caretaker stood there, stern and silent. When the performance was over the young lady turned to the old man and said: "I suppose many musicians have been here and have played on this in strument?" "Paderewski was- here once, ma dame"— "All!" she sighed. "But," .continued the faithful guard lan, "when ' some one urged him to play on Beethoven's piano he said, 'Xo; I am not worthy.' " When the Disease Let Go. An old man was just recovering from nn operation, and as In- lay regaining consciousness he heard the doctor say to a nurse regarding some powders to bo given hiin, "If one every hour is too much give liim a half one every half hour." The old gentleman raised himself up on his elbow and said: "Say, doc, that reminds me of a man that had a Newfoundland dog. His wife got so tired of having him (the dog. not tiie man) track up the floors and porches that finally she made her husband take the dog to town and sell him. That afternoon lie returned radiant. 'Well,' he said. 'l've sold him for 92.".:' 'Good!' cried his wife. 'I can get that hat now.' 'But,' continued the man, 'I bought two puppies with the money.'" The doctor looked at the nurse and said: "I think he'll recover." P. S.—lie did.—Judge. Sacred Monkeys of India. In "Living Animals of the World" some curious stories are told about the habits and characteristics of the mon key tribes. It seems that the entellus monkey is the most sacred of all in India. It is gray above and nutty brown below, long legged and active, a thief and an impudent robber. In one of the Indian cities they became such a nuisance that the faithful determin ed to catch and send away some hun dreds. This was done, and the holy monkeys were deported in covered carts and released many miles off. But the monkeys were too clever. Having thoroughly enjoyed their ride, they re fused to part with the carts and, hop ping and grimacing, came leaping all the way back beside them to the city, grateful for their outing. One city ob tained leave to kill the monkeys, but the next city then sued them for "kill ing their deceased ancestors." Ways of the Flying Fish. Flying lisli swim in shoals varying in number from a dozen to a hundred or more. They often leave the water at once, darting through the air in the same direction for 200 yards or more, and then descend to the water quickly, rising again and then renewing their flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be seen in rapid pursuit, taking great leaps out of the water and gaining up on his prey, which take shorter and shorter Mights, vainly trying to escape, until they sink exhausted. Sometimes the larger sea birds catch Hying lisli in the air. The question whether the flying lisli use their fins at all as wings is not fully decided. The power of flight is limited to the time the fins remain moist. How Birds' Nasts Arc Made Round. The little abandoned nest had fallen from the tree. The nature student lift ed it from the ground. "How round it is," he said. "Xo cup rim could be rounder. Don't you won der how the bird, with neither rule nor compass, can make her nest so round? Well, she does it easily. She builds the nest about her breast, turning round and round in it, and its circular char acter comes spontaneously and inevita bly. The circle is found everywhere in the buildings of the lower animals. The straight line, oil the other hand, they can never achieve." Vulgcr Fractions. Everything that Bobby learned at school he endeavored to apply in his daily life and walk. When bis mother asked him if one of his new friends was an only child Bobby looked wise and triumphant. "He's got j;ist one :-ister," said Bob by. "He tried to catch me when he told me he had two half sisters, but 1 guess I know enough fractions for that!"— Youth's Companion. The Reason For It. "Xo," said the imblttered person, "when I want financial assistance I go to strangers. I do not ask friends or relatives." "Well," answered the logical man, "maybe that's the best way. Friends and relatives are In a position to keep posted on a man's record." Washing ton Star. Man's Love For Woman. "If a man loves a woman for her looks he will love her for five years.

During each winter for two or three years after he had reached the age of seven Andrew Jackson was sent to the old field school of a Mr. Uranch, After this he attended the select school which i Presbyterian preacher, the Rev. Dr. David Humphreys, taught in the Wax haw settlement. lie appears to have been going to this higher school in the spring of 1780, when the inroad of Tar let.on created a panic iu that portion of the Carolinas. At some later period of his youth he is said to liave attended the old Queen college or seminary at Charlotte a couple of terms, but tin time Is not definitely known. As to education, therefore, it may be safely stated that Andrew Jackson eu joyed much more than the ordinary ad vantage of a backwoods boys of his time. At the age of ten lie bad become so good a reader that lie was often chosen to read the newspaper to the assembled neighbors, and lie remem bered with pride in after years that ho bad thus bail the honor of "reading out loud" Ihe Declaration of Independence upon its arrival in the "Waxhaws. For a lad of ten this was, indeed, some thing lo remember with honest pride.— Thomas E. Wats m in Watson's Jeffer- Bonian Magazine. Caustic. Recently a wearied looking little mother, carrying a small baby, boarded a street car and took a seat next to two men who were earnestly engaged in conversation. Neither of the men was very handsome, and it must have required considerable nerve on their part to hand out their photographs among their friends unless the pictures had been previously retouched M'ith sandpaper. In a few minutes llie baby began to cry with a reliable yelp that could be heard above the din of the street babble for half a block, and. with a grouchy glance at the young ster, one of the men arose and peevish ly remarked to his pal: "I think we had better sit over here. Jim." This nugallant act plainly embar rassed the little mother, but she was equal ti> the occasion. "It won't do a bit of good to change your scats, gentlemen." said she in a finely sarcastic voice. "The baby can see you quite as plainly over there as be could here." 112 NEW FIRM! | i John EMail i I & Son, Opposite St. Charles Hotel, [n [jj EAST EMPORIUM, PA.

CL We wish to call the c . p;;b!ic to a to a series or "short talks'' by L. T. Cooper that are to be published in this paper. Ci, The Cooper medicines r.cvc made a remarkable re cord in the leading cities of the United States during the past two years and young Mr. Cooper has been the sub ject of much newspaper comment. Mr. Cooper has met and talked with thousands of sick people in his visits to almost every large city in the country. CT. He is noted as a man of very few words and tells briefly in these articles what his preparations are doing for sick people and why they have been successful wherever introduced. CL. Mr. Cooper's theory is that one half of all human ills is caused by stomach trouble, and the wonderful suc cess of his preparations in the treatment of stomach disorders, kidney and liver complaints, rheumatism, etc., seems to have proven this claim. C 5 Some time ago we secured the agency for these cele brated medicines. We have been gratified by the extreme satisfaction of those who have purchased them ( Vom us and advise every one to read these "short talks" as they are full of terse, common sense.
