The signs of the times indicate a new departure in the education of both boys and girls. For the past two score years or more the whole scheme of education seems to htive been to se cure proficiency in books and not in things practical. At prbsent there is a tendency to dis credit books and give more attention to doiiig things. Money, as such, is being discredited also, and an eflort made to impress the pupil with the great and important lact that it is only what money does, and not what it is, that is worth con sidering. As a means to a worthy end money is most desirable, but as mere money it is of no real value to either the individual, or to the world. A Box Social. The Public is invited to a Box Social at the Baptist church, Friday evening, at eight o'clock. The guilty party is class 2, of which Mrs. M. Ramarge is High Mucky-Muck. All parties of the feminine gender, will please bring a shoe-box filled with the delicacies which appeal to the members of the male order. Gents, men, boys and all others, will please bring two dimes and one nickle which is the price .set on the aforesaid Boxes. This is posi tively the last notice which we shall give of this affair. Come early and avoid the rush. Fishing Revised. Bedford county fishermen were busily engaged last Sunday in fish ing along the Raystown Branch. The fish were not hard to catch, as they were floating on top of the water, and many large strings were taken. It seems that, in some way a large amount of lime had gotten into the river, which had the effect of causing the fish to lie fiat on top of the water— apparently dead -but it is said that they revive as soon as the water again becomes pure.

John McDonald Honored by Railroad Men and Fellow Townsmen. Drift toood Gazette. ' One of the prettiest tributes that could be paid to any man wan tender ed to Hon. John McDonald, super visor of the Eigth division of the P. R. R., on Tuesday evening, when more than eighty persons assembled in the Ladies' Aid Society hall to honor our distinguished townsman. Thisgather : ing was for a two-fold purpose, to cele brate the seventieth anniversary of the 1 honorable gentleman's birth, and to I mark his retirement from the service jof the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- I pany. The affair was arranged by ! Assistant Supervisor C. L. P. Russel, j Clerk Daniel Donahue and the super visor's seventeen track foremen, and a large number of his superior officers, railroad men and fellow townsmen were invited to participate in the event. A special train was run from Re novo, arriving here at 6:25. The Drift wood band met the guests and headed the procession to the residence of Hon. John McDonald, who was escorted to the Ladies' Aid Society hall, where a bounteous and delicious repast, pre pared as only the ladies of that society can prepare them, was in readiness. The tables were arranged in the form of a hollow square, with another table in the centre for the chief guests, and the room was beautifully decorated with evergreen and tricolor bunting in the form of a cross, at the four corners and centre of which hung railroad lanterns with various colored globes. A rack was erected on which was plac ed all the implements used by track men in railroad construction, and this was surmounted by a switch target. Those seated at the central table were Hon. John McDonald, with Presi dent Judge Hon. Harry Alvan Hall on his right and Division Engineer R. L. Roe 011 his left, ex-Burgess John B. Smith, of Renovo, Col. J. O. Brook bank, Assistant Supervisor C. L. P. Russel, Trainmaster Owen McCarthy and Hon G. W. Huntley. 1 After the invocation by Colonel Broakbank, Toastmaster Roe read a number of letters and telegrams from those who were unable to attend and made a spicy and complimentary j speech, at the conclusion of which he iutroduced Mr. McCarthy as the first speaker. Mr. McCatthy's address was elaborate, covering every phase of the i life of Mr. McDonald as a railroad man and worthy citizen and left very little i to be said by those who were to follow him. However the speeches of Hon. j (i. W. Huntley, Col. J. O. Brookbank, Master Mechanic C. H. Potts, track ; foremen, railroad men aud citizens were of such a tender aud praiseworthy nature us to turu the head of a man less solid than Mr. McDonald C. W. Ilollingsworth, chief clerk to Stiperin , tendent Gougblin, and representing that gentleman, after a few praise worthy remarks, read two letters—one from Superintendent Coi'ghlin to Sup ervisor John McDonald, congratulat ing him oil his attainment to man's alloted period, and referring to his excellent services to the company and to his retirement; and the reply by Supervisor McDonald both teeming with love rind pood fellowship and inurKing 'he universal esteem in which the Hon. Johu McDonald in held by his superiors in office. Yet ill all that was said in praise of Mr. McDouald we failed to note ail expression that was overdrawn. Alter the g< oeral S|ieechiuakiiig Judge Hall In a masterly speech, pre facing his remarks with one of the highekt compliment* that eould be paid to any mail, presented to lion. John McDouald, lu behalf of Ida unnistaut, Mr. Ktuwell, and chief clerk, Mr. Dona hue, a beautiful loving cup. Follow ing this presentation Mr. Russel pre seliled a beautiful and valuable watch as a token of the esteem of his track funnel* and fellow railroad men.

Mr. McDonald was twice honored by his fellow citizens by election to the second highest office within their gift and served them well as Associate Judge of Cameron county. For fifteen years he presided over the Driftwood school board and rendered excellent service. As a loyal citizen, husband, father and neighbor, the Hon. John McDonald has been and is a man among men. He has played his part in the great drama of life exceeding ly well, and may he live many years to enjoy the fruits of his labor and at the end, when angel hands beckon him home, ho may say with the psalmist, "Yea, Lord, my cup runneth over." Twenty-five Years Ago. On Monday morning, November 30tli, 1885, at about two o'clock, the Old Warner House was totally destroy ed by tire. Yesterday was thetweny fifth anniversary of the big Are. Mr. Riley Warner was the proprietor at the time and with bis family and guests at the hotel had barely time to escape with their lives. The fire was caused by the explosion of a hanging lamp in the lower hall, near the main stairway—the explosion scattering the oil over the oaken, oiled stairway and causing the fire to spread rapidly through the building and cutting off all means of escape. The fire was dis covered by Sheriff Smith, who occu pied rooms in the bank building and S. H. Storrs, sleeping in the bank. They gave the alarm. Only a few of the mattresses which were thrown to the sidewalk were saved from the burn ing buildiDg. Pleasant Letter from J. W. Kaye. The Presk te in receipt of a letter from our old friend aud former town man, J. W. Kaye, of Westboro, Wis., pushing tlip date of his Press, well in to 1912, being the second farthest paid in advance—Hon. J. W. Cochran, of Ashland, Wis., heading the honor roll, his Press being paid to Dec. 1913. Would that we had more like them, in fact it would mightily please us if hundreds would keep within the law. Mr. Kaye jots down a few items as follows: "We are having nice winter weather here at present, which is good for the hunters. Our open season is now on and the way the hunters are killing game is fierce. I will not go out this season, the family being a lit tlo under the weather. Mr. Jos. Lin gle captured his deer the first day of the season. Thos. Dixon is still after his, he saw it a great many times but his gun shoots where the deer has left, so he keeps up the chase. Mrs. I.ingle is "under the weather" at pres sent; also MacDounell's children, all having bad colds. With regards to all friends." Glad to hear from you, Will, and see that you are prospering and taking an interest in Westboro, your adopted home. R. H. Brotherhood Song.

One of the most successful men of America when asked to what he attributed his success re plied: "I built my fortune on the dial of my watch I seconds became pennies, minutes became dimes, hours became dollars. I gave a money value to every tick, and took advantage of everything that economized time. I never procrastinate; I never wait for other people to get ahead of me. I keep my eyes and ears open for opportunities; I look well into whatever seems good to me; when my judgement approves I act promptly and with decision. I don't know that there is any particular rule or law of success, but I'm pretty sure that one of the foundation principles is "Don't lose Time."
