Deer Entangled in Wire Fenoe,
I : the village of Baileyville, Friday
morning, a deer became entangled in
a wire fence and was shot and killed
by Dan Irvin. It was a doe, and
weighed two hundred pounds. It is
presumed the animal was driven from
the mountains nearby by hunters.

Hauls Corn in Dead o' Night,
It’s the same old story, with but a
slight variation. The wagon, one
horse bitehed to it, is drawn up to the
fence enclosing a corn field ; the corn
is carried to it until the bed is filled ;
the thief drives home.
This happened a short time ago, the
field visited being that of Aaron Lutz,
on the Bible farm. What about ft?
Why, it’s only one of a series of thefts
perpetrated in the neighborhood.

RATT
UNIFORM PRIMARY ELECTION LAW,
Does It, or Does It Not Apply to Boroughs
and Towo«hips,
Much is being said about the Pri-
mary Election Law which is now in
force, but there is not a district in
Centre county to which the law sap-
plies in nominating candidates to be
voted for at the February election.
The candidates for all township sand
borough offices will be ‘named in the
old way. The local bosses— Democrats
and Republicans—have not been shorn
of their power by the Primary Elec.
tion Law.
The first primary election to be beld
under this law will be on the first Bat.
urday in June, at which time the can-
didates for county offices will be nomi.
pated. Members of all parties will
vote and make nominations on that
day, and the election will be very
similar to the regular election, except
that each party will bave its own
ticket.
CONTRARY OPINION.
Contrary to the above, a statement
has been issued by George D. Thorn,
chief clerk of the State Department, in
which it is contended that the Uni
form Primary Election law does apply
to the Boroughs and Townships. Mr,
Thorn’s opinion, however, is not a
binding interpretation of the new
law, and according to his view (wo
gets of candidates could be nominated
by each party—one set under the old
system and one set under the law new
being discussed,
The section of the law
boroughs and townships is as follows ;
* Provided, that nothing herein
contained shall prevent the nomins.
tion of cavdidates for borough «r
township offices, or other offices not
herein specially enumerated, in the
manner provided by existiog laws.”

as to whether or not the primaries in

Nection 2 of the
there is much diversity of opinion
be
form Primary scl.
Uniform Primary act provides that
“ Two primaries shall be held each
year in every election district of this
Commonwealth.” This is followed
later by the above quoted proviso.
If the electors of any borough or
township desire to make their nomin-
ations for the coming spring election
under the new primary act, they
ehould signify such desire and inten
tion by filing with the County Com
missioners petitions for nominations
If such petitions are not filed with
the Commissioners, no ballots will be
provided for use under the pew prim.
ary law, and the primaries casonot be
held under this new law, but will
have to be conducted under the old
system ; that is, io the manner
observed before the passage of the Unie
forms Primary act.”
To settle this question will require
an opivion from & higher authority
than a department clerk.

hood drawn up over his head. Helene
holds over her head a minuscule um-
brella, which she tilts in such fashion
as to make the most of the rain. Un
rebuked by any threat of something
awful to result if a drop of water
falls on them, both children dance
along in the wet, letting the drops fall
on their upturned faces and laughing
in glee as if the rain were another

it Combines Power of Will
Power of Self Restraint.
Btrength of character consists of two
things—power of will and power of self
restraint. It requires two things, there
fore, for its existence—strong feelings
and strong command over them. Now
it Is here we make a great mistake. We
mistake strong feelings for strong
character
A man who bears all before him, be
fore whose frown domestics tremble
and the children quake, because he
has his will obeyed and his own way
in all things, we call a strong man.
The truth is he is a weak man. It is
his passions that are strong. He thal
is mastered by them Is weak.
You must measure the strength of @
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues, not by the power of thos¢
which subdue him, and hence com
posure is often the result of strength.
Did we never see a man receive g
flagrant insult only growing a little
pale and then reply quietiy? This is »
man spiritually strong.
Or did we pever see 4 man bearing a
hopeless, daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what cankered his
home peace? That is strength,
He who, keenly sensitive, with many
powers of indignation In him, can be
provoked amd yet restrain himself and
forgive—he is the strong man, the spir
itual hero.
Felted With Eplthets.
Bir Wilfrid Lawson, the most fa
mous temperance advocate in England,
was the target of the political wits
During his last campaign for parlia.
ment Bir Wilfrid was greeted as a
“peregrinating pump handle,” “an old
cracked teapot,” “a confiseatory molly
coddle,” “a washed out water party,”
“a pop bottle pump orator,” “the
apostle of slops,” “a maudlin mounte
bank” and “a buffoon.” The Iasi
epithet was so often hurled at Sir
Wilfrid that he remarked it reminded
him of “Selah” in the Psalms. His
hatred of war and rum led to an epl
gram which hus frequently been re
peated. “The country,” he sald, “is
governed by two heathen deities
Bacchus and Mars, or, in other words,
by the god of bottles and the god of
battles.”
Painting and Drawing.
8ir Frederick Leighton once supple
mented words of advice and encour
agement to a struggling young artist
by handing him an envelope containing
a check for $250, with the remark,
“One day, my friend, I do not doubt
that you will be able to draw even
better than this” This reminds one of
the anecdote told of the visit of old
Joseph Gillott, the pen man, to Turner.
“I have come to swap some of my ple
tures for yours,” he said. “What do
you mean?” exclaimed Turner. “You
don’t paint!” “No, I don’t, but I draw,”
sald Gillott, unfolding a roll of Bank
of Englund notes, “and here are some
of my pictures.”
Mutual Satisfaction.

PRESCRIPTIONS,
A Medical Explanation of Why They
Are Written In Latin,
The use of Latin by
prescription writing 18 commonly
garded as a harmless survival
medisevalism. Occasionally a lay writer
suggests its abandonment. In
menting on a recent note to this effect
in a dally paper, which advocates the
compulsory use of English in prescrip-
tions, the Druggists’ Circular and
Chemical Gazette takes occasion to
make a strong defense of the time
honored practice. Says this paper:
“Suppose the saplent writer quoted,
whose utterances may sound all right
to those who know no more of his sub-
jects than he does, should fall sick and
his physician should decide that the
one thing needful to save his life was
Geranium robertianum. If there were
a law preventing the doctor from pre-
geribing in Latin he would have to
choose one of the upward of a dozen
English names for this drug. Suppose
he chose ‘redshanks’ and so wrote the
word in his prescription. When the
druggist went to prepare the medicine
he would find that ‘redshanks’ was the
English name of at least four entirely
different plants—namely, the one al-
ready mentioned, Polygonium am-
phiblum, Polygonium persicaria and
Rumex acetosn
“As with redshanks so with hundreds
of other drugs. Aaron's beard may be

Old French Bonfire,
Probably the strangest detail re
corded of the old midsummer eve bon-
fires is connection with those
that used to be lighted in the Palace
de Greve in Paris. The main constitu-
ent of the bonfire was a tree, which the
king was accustomed to fire with his
own hands the ashes being afterward
carried home by the people for good
luck. Louis XIV. was the last king
who did his part. A mysterious item
of earlier times was the burning in the
bonfire of a barrel, bag or basket full
of cats, The registers of Paris show
that a hundred sous were paid to an
official for having provided during
three years (1571-73) “all the cats re-
quired, as usual, for the fire,” and also
in one year, when the king was pres-
ent, “a fox, to give pleasure to his
majesty and for having provided a
great bag of linen In which the sald
cats were.” London Chronicle.

Sixteen Miles Underground.
The most remarkable canal in the
world is the one between Worsley
and St. Helens, in the north of Eng-
land. It is sixteen miles long and un-
derground from end to end. In Lan-
cashire the coal mines are very ex
tensive, half the county being under-
mined. Many years ago the man-
agers of the Duke of Bridgeport's es-
tates thought they could save money
by transporting the coal underground
instead of on the surface; therefore
the canal was constructed and the
mines connected and drained at the
same time.~Pearson’'s Weekly.
