Stuart Mas 'Em Uuco&ing.
People are \v.':ri icriiig what Cinv.
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.

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.
If be loves her mind lie will love her
for ten years. If he loves her ways he
will love her forever." And every wo
man believes when she marries that
her lover loves Pet' v. i.v

' Andrew Jackson's Education.
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.—

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."

Cooper V ' A
. . , r . ~v
>OPER.
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.
A Habit to be Encouraged.
The mother who has acquit ed the
habit ol keeping on hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, faves her
self a great amount of uneasiness and
anxiety. Coughs, colds and croup, to
which children are susceptible are quickly
cured by its use. It counteiacts any
tendency ol a cold to result in pneumon
ia. and if giveu as soon as the first symp
toms of croup appear, it will prevent the
attack. This remedy contains nothing
injurious and mothers give it to little ones
with a feeling of perfect security. Sold
