Special Prices on Porch Shades
Very pronounced reduction to clean up.
The highest grade Porch Shades to be had are those known
as Vudor and Tusculum. In fact they are the only satisfactory
shade made. Awnings and canvas curtains shut out the sun, it
is true, but as they likewise prevent the circulation of air, the
porch becomes an oven. Bamboo screens afford practically no
protection. The sun beats through them and people outside
can see right through. These shades we are now advertising at
such low prices are very different, they keep out the sun's rays,
but at the same time permit the cool air to circulate through,
and while you can look out, no one can see in. They should
be on your porch.
Size 4x8 reduced from $2 to $1.39.
Size 6x8 reduced lrom 3.75 to $2.69.
Size 8x8 reduced from $5 to $2.90.
Size 8x8 reduced from 6.50 to $4.90.
HaJf Price
Is the magnet that is attracting so many customers to our
Millinery Department. At any time, an offer at half price is
tempting. It is doubly tempting at this time because of the
extent, the variety, the beauty, and the seasonableness of the
collection that we have selected for this radical reduction
" And in addition to the Trimmed Hats, there are
Many Untrimmed Chip Hats at half price.
A number of Children's Models at halt price.
Hundreds of fine Artificial Flowers at half price.
The scope of our sale has
five hundred bunches of fine Artificial Flowers at exactly half
price.

REBUKE GIVEN
TO PULL-BACKS
Senator Penrose Takes Occa
sion to Give La Follette An
other Verbal Cassation
TIME FOR HARANGUES TO CEASE
Editorial From Bellefonte Gazette on
Efforts of Lilliputian Statesmen
Well Expresses the Situation and
Views of the People at Large.
For the second time during tha
present session of Congress, Senator
Doles Penrose, of Pennsylvania, was
practically forced to administer a
stinging rebuke to Senntor La Fol
lette, of Wisconsin. La Follette and
a few other nenr-Kepubllciin members
of the Senate have been forcing the
policy ot delay and obstruction far
beyond the line of endurance. Re
cently Senntor l.a Follette spent most
of a day in a political harangue in
which he endeavored to establish that
he was not a Republican. No one
who knows him had charged him with
having that particular virtue. In or
der to push along the proposed tariff
bill to a satisfactory conclusion the
Senate was forced to hold night ses
sions. After Senator l.a Follette bad con
sumed much of the day in a rambling
talk without point or purpose, bis
friends attempted to prevent a night
session on the ground that the Wis
consin man was sick and was not
Hble to continue his speech. This
flimsy pretext provided Senator Pen
rose, who launched a terrific attack
upon Senator La Follette. No speech
delivered upon the Hour of the Sennto
since the tariff session began has
caused a greater sensation. Senator
Penrose charged the Wisconsin Sen
ntor with wilfully deceiving the Sen
ate. In tones of Indignation that brought
all the members of the body flocking
from the cloak rooms, the Pennsyl
vania Senator alleged that La Fol-U-tte's
sole purpose was to delny con
sideration of the tariff bill by feign
ing illness and absenting himself from
the session.
"While 1 have no desire to make
tiny reference to the Senator from
Wisconsin in his absence," Penrose
declared, "I am prepared to show the
Senate at any time that part of bis
professional tactics is to make a pre
tense of illness while be is openly
abroad upon the streets consulting
with the editors of yellow Journals
and agents of uplift magazines.
"I'pon so many occasions has this
practice been maintained as to make
any man in his ordinary senses abso
lutely refuse to believe any statement
regnrding the Senator from Wiscon
sin." On the former occasion when Sen
ator Penrose had occasion to call the
Wisconsin Senator to account, he char
acterized the tactics of La Follette as
those of a mountebank vender from
the tail-end of a cart.
The pull-backs in the Senate, chief
among whom are Senators La Follette
and Heveridge, of Indiana, have be
come positively provoking. They
have been playing to the galleries lit
the expense of every legitimate In
terest in the nation, and the rebuke
administered to them by Senator Pen
rose has started a wave of applause
which seems to be rapidly spreading
to the extreme limits of the continent.
The drafting of a tariff measure for
this nation is a ponderous work. It
requires serious and intelligent work.
It has enlisted the best thought and
most earnest consideration of tho
trained statesmen of the whole coun
try, and when the barnstormers of
which La Follette Is a type attempt
to sprag the wheels with harangues
intended wholly for home consump
tion, a vigorous, earnest rebuke Buch
os that administered by Senator Pen
rose Is timely and particularly pleas
ing. Regarding the senatorial pull
backs and grumblers the Keystone
(iazette, of Bellefonte, Pa., last week
printed a decidedly Interesting edi
torial which is appended. It is well
worth the reading:
"There seems to be a studied effort
on the part of some Lilliputian states
men who assume to train as Repub
licans to frustrate and delay the ac
tion of Congress In legislating on the
tariff question for purely selfish polit
ical purposes. The La Follettes, Cum
mlnses and Dolllvers, who are rather
notorious for the wind power they
possess, and who have exceedingly
great personal admiration for them
selves and exalted Ideas of their own
abilities as statesmen, are seeking
persistently to cripple the Republican
party and Its leaders regardless of
what it may cost the business Inter
ests of the country, if they could
thereby leap into the saddle and pro
claim themselves as the leaders of tha
Republican party of the Nation.
"We have a few would-be leadew
and statesmen In Pennsylvania who
are Influenced by the same motives,
and who desire to accomplish the
same purpose. We clip the following
from the Washington Observer, owned
end edited by ex-Congressman Ache
son: " 'The progressive Republicans In the
Senate are sounding notes of warning
to the leaders of the party In the de
bate on the tariff question. What
crimes are committed In the name of
protection against the American peo
pie In favor of the trusts and the gi
gantic combinations of capital with
watered stock on which watered capi
tal they expect the people to pay the
dividends and large salaries! -rn9
progressive Senators from Iowa, Kan
sas, Minnesota, Indiana and other
states are Just as much Republicans
as Aldrich, Penrose, Guggenheim and
the other coterie of Senators who rep
resent the trusts Instead of the people.
The prediction of the best leaders of
the Republican party that unless the
people are given what they were prom
ised, a Democratic Congress will be
elected revise the tariff from a
Democratic angle rather than from a
Republican point of lev, would seem
to be Jut-titied by the present attitude
of the Republican busses.'
"The above paragraph reiterates the
old, trite and worn-out statement
about the tariff being the father of
the trusts. It Is the offspring of either
Ignorance or of a mere malicious and
telllsh purpose. Acheson is a consti
tutional kicker and a grumbler by na
ture; and the breadth of his states
manship Is limited and circumscribed
wholly by his political animosities and
hatred, and by personal political am
bitions. "After bis overwhelming defeat by
the people of his own county a year
ago, and emphatic turn-down when he
ngaln aspired to be a candidate for
Congress, we would think that good
sense nnd good Judgment would sug
gest to him that Inconsplcuoslty for a
time at least would best become his
station In life.
"Hut it seems evident that there Is
a concert of effort amongst the small
calibre statesmen whose Idea of tariff
legislation is that the question is of
a wholly sporadic or local nature, and
who use the method of delay and ob
struction in the legislation purely for
tho purpose of embarrassing the lead
ership of the Republican party. They
have an ambition to become its lead
ers and control It simply for self-aggrandizement,
nnd to gratify their per
sonal political ambitions.
"They renllze that this they cannot
attain to by virtue of their ability or
merit as public men and statesmen,
but fondly hope if they can bring
about a depression of business, cause
the hum of Industry to cease, increase
the numbers of idle wage-earners, and
then lay the cause thereof upon tin
recognized leaders of the Republican
party and cast the odium upon them,
then It will nfford a favorable oppor
tunity for these Lilliputian statesmen
to open their windbags and howl cal
amity and offer the country some
patent panacea of their own concoc
tion with which to cure all the polit
ical ills of the body politic.
"Cummins would, say, 'Elect me
President;' Dolllver would say, 'Elect
me President;' La Follette would say,
'Elect me President;' Acheson would
say. 'Elect me United Slates Senator,'
and then with these sclf-lauditory
statesmen, all thus enthroned, every
thing In the country would be happy
nnd prosperous.
"We say. get to work on the tariff as
a broad, national question; that ef
fects the country nnd Its prosperity
as a w hole, and not fiddle with It as
mere local or State issue."
Whit a Political Speaker Enduret.
The political stump speaker has
many n musing nnd many unplensnnt
expe 'lences. A party of us went down
Into the heart of the east side of New
York one night with a politician some
what hnndlenped by his wealth nnd
social position, who nevertheless elect
ed to go to the doubtful district per
sonally. At a street corner n bunting
draped curt awaited him, nnd, climbing
to the tailboard of this, he liegnn tell
ing the ragged audience In well round
ed periods how they should vote nnd
why. A few Jeers begnn to crop from
the tolerance of the crowd. The Jeers
gained volume. He wns told to "Aw,
shet up.'" "Close your bead:" "Say,
give us a drink; your talk makes us
t'lrsty." Somewhat disconcerted, but
still determined to finish his speech,
he wns continuing when something
hurtled past bis head nnd splashed
gently on the floor of the cart. An
other something and another followed,
nnd every one was dodging decadent
tomatoes until. It liecomlng Impossible
to bear a shout nlwve the Jeers nnd
laughter of the voters, the horses were
started forwnrd out of the soft, red
bombardment nnd the district left to
Its own political slns.-John R. Win-
chell In Metropolitan Mngnzlne.
Extract of Knowledge.
An nrtlcle on "Examination Hnmor"
In a periodical railed Normal Echoes
contains some good "howlers." They
nre none the less Interesting for com
ing from students In training for teach
ers, A criticism of William ISlnke that
"as n child be wns precocious In po
etry, but In later years It developed Into
dogmatism," Is n lesson In the nrt of
being Inarticulate, while the remnrk
that "the works of the time were most
ly satyrs" Is quaint, though obvious.
Of course there Is boggling over proper
names. There Is nothing. Indeed, so
good as the description of Cromwell
ns "a man with ronrse features and
hnvlng n lnrce red nose, with deep re
ligious convictions beneath," or the
ense of the "lapsed man" who, having
by way of exception nttended church,
admitted to the rector's wife thnt he
had benefited, for be had lenrned that
Sodom nnd Oomorrnh were two cities,
whereas be had nlwnys thought they
were man nnd wife. Manchester

Fat and Disease.
If the Medical Record Is right, man
Is pursuing in the mutter of bodily
weight what Is bad for him, a common
trick, and woman pines for a physical
Ideal that would mean loug life If
achieved, something rare Indeed for
women to do. Most men struggle to
bo fat. Most women diet to be lean.
Dr. ItrandrctU Syuionds draws from
study of life Insurance weights thnt
people past the nge of thirty live long
er If below normal weight than they
do If nt or above standard. Heart dis
ease Is as rare among the underfnt as
It Is common with the heavy folk, and
this Is true also of Pright's dlsense,
apoplexy, paralysis, cerebral conges
tions nnd cirrhosis of the liver. Only
In pneumonia nnd tuberculosis do the
underweights carry a greater risk. In
all the cases which be examined Dr.
Synionds found not a single fat man
who reached the nge of eighty years,
while forty-four short weights passed
this mark.
A Valuable Milestone.
A well known novelist wns touring
through Lancashire In order to learn
something of the lives of the Inhabit
ants when he enrae upon an old man
breaking stones on tho rondsldc nnd,
thinking he might gain some knowl
edge from him, nddressed him thus:
"How far Is It to Fleetwood, my
mnn?"
"You'll see a milestone a bit farther
on," was the gruff reply.
"What's the use, If I can't read?"
said the novelist, enger to draw the old
man Into a conversation.
"Then It'll just suit you, for there's
nowt on It," said the old fellow. Lon

Itemnrknblo Cave Discovers.
Two gold prospectors recently dis
covered In the Santa Susanna Moun
tains, about fifty miles from Los
Angeles, Cal., tho largest and most
remarkable cave In Western Am

of gold they found mi opening which
they entered. The opening led to
great cavern, consisting of many pas.
snges, some of ihem wldo, but most
ol them narrow and lofty. Tha pas
sages lead Into great hnlls, some an
acre in extent, studded with stalag
mites and stalactites In some cases
so thickly that It Is difficult to get
through. The walls of one of these
rails are covered wllh rude drawings,
some almost obliterated, but others

Aiivll as A Tombstone.
On the death of a blacksmith nnm.
ed Moehle of Hellevllle, III., In the
United States, a tombstone wns er
ected to his memory In the very ap
propriate form of a model anvil.
Moehle was a villago blacksmith, and
for over thirty years he had tolled at
the same anvil, which had been
given him by the old blacksmith to
whom he wns apprenticed at Pilot
Knob. He became greatly attached
to the old anvil, and many times ex.
pressed a wish that he should not b
fepnrated from It In death, but that
It should be his monument. In ac
cordance with his wish f.ie old anvil
was coated with enamel, topped with
a large horseshoe, and set In a base
of solid granite. The old tombstone
Is one of the sights of tho cemetery.
London Tlt-Blls.
Pigs' Tails ns Itaroineters.
The secret of "Uncle Billy" War
lug's ability to forecast the weather
has leaked out. Recently he has
been able with an exactitude not
equalled by the best barometers to
tell his neighbors twenty-four nnd
sometimes thirty-six hours ahead
what weather to expect. His pre
dictions have been of great benefit
to farmers. Now It is lenrned that he
gets his tips from his two pigs. In
dry weather the tails of the pigs
have one curl, In wet weather two
curls, and Just before a rain their
tails hang limp.
Power of Lights.
A comparison has recently been
made of the power of the lights In
French lighthouses at various periods
1 1 the last 35 years. In 1ST4, when
only oil lights were used, the high
est power was equal to 54,000 cand
les. In 1SS2, when the electric
light wns Introduced, the power rose
to a maximum of 820,000 candles.
Since then frequent Improvements
have been made In the electric lights
until at present the most powerful
lighthouses project an illumination
nearly equal to 3,000,000 candles.
Lincoln on Law Observance.
There Is even now something of
til omen among us; I mean the dis
regard of law. There, then, is on
point at which danger may be ex
pected. The question Beems: How
shall we fortify against It? The an
swer Is simple. Let every American,
every lover of liberty, every well
wisher to hlc posterity, swear by the
blood of the Revolution never to vio

of hid country and never to toleruio
their violalou by others. Abraham
