\ THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. APRIL 30, 1908 = FRANCIS SPEER'S | Breezy “That” Column | w | | | TuAT some young men of Bellefonte, | have found out that the mother-in-law | is no joke when the baby is sick. | Tuat if a man in Bellefonte drops’ soot on the carpet he can take it off | quicker with salt than saying damn it, | TuAT when a Bellefonte young lady begins to like the boys too much she is | treading on mighty dangerous ground. TuAT no home in Bellefonte is coms | plete without a wife any more than it is| without a cuckoo clock or a cat—Ralph | Spigelmyer. Tuar John Smith, the enterprising furniture dealer of Spring Mills, says that the people he knows to be square | are the ones he likes round. TuAT there is a man in Bellefonte who is now trying to keep up appear- ances who may find it necessary some | day to keep up disappearances, ® Tar the Merry Widow hat is nothing but a nuisance and the girl who wears it is not much better, The persons who] sell them ought to have about thirty | days.

According to reports from the local | dealers in tobacco more people are sav- ing tobacco tags than ever before in the history of the giving of presents in ex- | change for tobacco tags. This tremen. | dous increase in tag saving is due to the | action of the American Fobac co Com- | pany in offering a remarkable list of val- | uable presents in return for tags from various popular tabaccos, = Such brands ag Master Workman, Bri. dle Bit, Tinsley's Natural Leaf, Town Talk, Spear Head {Standard Navy, Jol ly Tar, and about a dozen others, bear tags which can be exchanged for pres. ents. An idea of what can be accom- | plished by so far-reaching a co.operative system is gathered from such sample offers as the giving of an English Steel Razor for only 50 tags.

Don't worry, the colder the wind blows upon love the you fan the flame i will come tru street. THAT the young Bellefonte sport wi had that girl down at lime kilr along the pike, the other evening, is quite well known. It was a young lady with whom he wouldn't take a $50 bill to be seen with in broad day light. The next time they should go further into the quarries. If they are afraid, they should get a burglar's lantern. Tuat Bellefonte has in it a man who has been flying his kite pretty high during the last year and as a con- sequence it is claimed he's gotten it where the chicken got the axe. He is beginning to realize that the way of the transgressor is truly hard. He has but two things to do which are too delicate a question to go into details here, Tuar deep down in her heart every girl in Bellefonte’ believes that every young man in this community worships beauty and cares for no other quality in a wife provided she is fairly respectable Thats the reason Green, Parrish, Krum rine and Zeller, the local druggists, have a dead cinch on selling face powder and paint, Tuat the fountains in front of the court house are now sending forth their spray, creating new life all around them. As usual a large number of ‘‘posies” or human ornaments (?) are found seated on the curb of the Soldiers’ monument rubber-necking every lady who comes along and filling the pave- ment with tobacco spit, ae Tuar the other day a certain young lady brought a New Yorker to Bellefonte and sported him around in great shape This completely knocked the sand out of the gizzard of one of our bright young men and for two weeks he hasn't been worth his salt. He is getting to look more and more like a split rail than any- thing we can compare him to, When a young man gets it that bad it indicates that he needs to take something for his | liver, Tnar if the public finds out what has been going on between a certain young single man in Bellefonte and a woman they will be placed amon Fine hats and dresses cover a multituc of sins. Often a woman is called ‘‘so- ciety” when the secret deeds of her life are black as h—, Her conscience is seared as with a hot iron making herself a nui- sance to those who are trying to live a respectable life. To make matters worse, some of these persons occupy the best pews in the church, Tuar Bellefonte has in it a young man who puts on more lug than a gov- erment mule, The other day he invit- ed a young lady to go with him to Yar. nell, Naturally she expected a square deal but he managed to show the white feather, He took her to Milesburg in the train and instead of patronizing a livery he allowed her to wilh the entire distance of six miles in the rain, Of course she must have been over head and heels in love with the sport or she would have told him to go to the place where a small hunk of ice is more valua- ble than several tons of However, the trick was anything but manly, iS | crease of pens ely for | gl widows, minors and helpless children young ! the toughs | of the town, where they rightly helots, act of "A)ril 19, 1908, granting an nsion to $12.00 per month to now on the rolls at a less rate. plication is but the same will be paid by orth July 4. 1908, upon rec yucher properly executed in possession present ed Capt receipt of which is Ast of the he pens 1¢ pen sion receiv The Editor's Heaven. The editor sat in but him had fled, and every deadbeat was in his grave—stone dead. His mind then wandered away to the time when he should and his royal editorial soul go scooting to the sky, when he'd roam the fields of paradise and sail o'er jasper seas and all things glorious would combine his every sense to please, He thought how then he'd look across the great gulf dark and drear that'll yawn between his happy soul and those who swindled here and “when for water they would call and in agony they'd {caper he'd shout to them, ‘Just quench your thirst with the due that's on paper.” —Aroostook Republican wi he wis his office far die your Hard to Close This Saloon week s disclosed lage of junction and Manistee counties did not v local option, but Grand Traverse Wexford counties did, the latter going “dry” and Grand Traverse “wet.” Wil. lis Sanford, the village saloonkeeper will have to move his place business a few rods to leave Wexford grand Traverse.
