PERSONAL AND
AUDIENCE HEARS
OF SCOTCH PROSE
Last of Dr. McGowan's Delight
ful Talks on Scotland and
Her Great Authors
l.ast night closed the series of lec
tures on Scottish literature by the Rev.
Dr. Robert McGowan, of Pittsburgh, at
the Civic Club under the auspices of
the College Club of Harrisburg. Great
regret was expressed that these most
delightful talks (for Dr. McGowan is
so completely one with his audience
that the term "lecture" seems absurd)
were not to continue during the re
mainder of the season.
The subject last evening was the
"Kale-yard School," the cabbage-patch
of the everyday iolk, from which
sprang all the best of Scottish writers,
all the really big men who have ever
achieved great things in her history.
Dr. McGowan spoke of S. R. Crockett
and quoted from the works of lan
McLaren and J. M. Barrie, showing their
wonderful power of drawing character
studies and the keen, sparkling humor
alternating with tho pathos. In "Beside
the Bonny Brier Bush," "A Window in
Thrums/' "The Little Minister." "Senti
mental Tommy," etc., this natural touch
Is very evident.
A real Scot's humor is of the dry
kind which sees the weakness of human
nature, but loves men none the less for
it, he explained, but while a High
lander can love deeply and devotedly
no Scottish writer has ever been able
to do Justice to a love scene.
"They can'nn tell It. They feel it, but
they can'na tell, for a Scotchman is
born of the big silences of the crags
and cllfTs, d'ye see!"
As a dosing tribute the speaker
eulogized all motherhood.
"It is the Scottish mithers who give
their lads their fine ideas of woman
and ve'll no find one of them that does
na exalt all mitherhood with his pen.
I know, I had such a' won mysel'. Thank
God for Scotland's mithers," he ex
claimed.

It's Never Too Late To Do Good—
a true enough saying but that doesn't apply to your j i
eyes. Guard carefully that eyesight so dear to you. Don't
neglect the eyes until it's too late. Be fair with yourself
and ask yourself this question, "What do I gain by neglect
ing my eyes?" In your heart you know that delay is danger
ous; your conscience calls you to action and NOW is the i
time to seek the eye relief that is rightfully yours.
We want you as a patron—as a friend. We want to make good I j
glasses for you—glasses that will correct the faults of your eyes. i
We want your recommendation, for it is the recommendation of our j
friends that has made our business grow. It is oiir policy to guaran
tee entire satisfaction. This policy coupled with our sensible prices

The municipal opening planned for!
to-morrow is a splendid example of
co-operative spirit and the progres- i
sive and up-to-date policy of the |
Studebaker Grocery Store (Mr,
George Harnes), Second street |
at the crossing of State, is j
shown by the enthusiastic interest and j
interesting winjjow displays they are i
offering. Though groceries might j
• seem like prosaic merchandise lor |
window displays, this store has al- !
ways been known for the specialties
and novelties which they carry and
which are not found elsewhere, and
their special window display is well
worth seeing.
Modern Furnishings
The new lacquered furniture is ad-r
' vocatcd by the modern decorator as a
means of bringing the necessary touch
of brilliant color in the home, though
keeping it in perfect harmony and
good taste, and the Goldsmith Store,
North Market Square, is as usual fore
most in their display of new designs,
in their interesting assortment they
offer a very wonderful chair of Queen
Anno design lacquered In Chinese red,
traced with black, which would give
a warm touch of color to a deep-toned
library or living room, and this is but!
one of many pieces of distinctive i
charm which they are showing. " [
Short Frocks and High Shoes
Though there have been rumors
t"hat Spring gowns are to be longer,
as frock after frock appears on smart
ly dressed women they seem, if any
thing. shorter than ever, and it is now
an assured fact, that American women
will wear their street suits and frocks
from six to nine inches from the
ground. That probably accounts for

Ol' Interest to .Men
I Several times In the. past few days 1 I
i have noticed the number of men who
congregate to look in the windows of
the Doutrich Store. .10 4 Market street,
and it is interesting to note how many
different classes of men And merchan
dise to interest them In this display.
Up-to-date young men mingle wi,th
conservative businessmen, and digni
fied professional men, and a few days
ago, a. whole army of high school
boys inarched down in a body to in
spect these windows, probably attract
ed by the smart gray suits shown
there, and Judging from this advanced
interest, every one will have to come
early who hopes to get a peep at the
Doutrich windows to-morrow night.
The Outside of the House
Does your home present the same
tidy appearance outside that you in-'
j sist upon on the inside? Window
i shades of uniform color are necessary
to get this effect, and yet different
tones are needed to blend with tlie
decorations of the various rooms, and
the A. B. Tack Wall Paper Shop, 1210
North Third street, offers the most
approved duplex shades on guaran
teed Hartshorn rollers which can be
made of uniform color on one side and
different colors on the other. Expert
service both in adjusting shades and in
selecting is assured at
r this shop.

AMERICAN YOUTH
NEEDS DISCIPLINE
Theme of Speeches Made Last
Evening at Salem Brother
hood Reception
Speakers last evening at a recep
tion at the Colonial Country Club, ar
ranged by the Salem Brotherhood for
members of the various Reformedj
Churches of this vicinity who belong ]
to the Nutional Guard, all emphasized .
the thought that military discipline is !
! essential to the development of Am- j
i erican youth. They also contrasted
j the camp of 1898 with its' typhoid!
I fever to the extreme sanitary condi- j
| tions prevailing now with practically J
| no illness.
Bunting and flags brightened the re- j
ception room in combination with j
I spring flowers and 120 men attended, j
j Norman B. Kurzenknabe presided at
j the piano. The idea of the meeting]
j was not only to honor the soldiers, but]
to bring together men of the P.eformed
churches and encourage a sentiment j
in favor of 'organizing Brotherhoods
in the other churches similar to that
of the Salem church.
Wilson R. Houser, president of Sa
! lent, was toastmaster, and as each
I speaker arose J. William Bowman set
off a miniature cannon in announce
ment.
Among the speakers were: The Rev.
Harry Nelson Bassler, chaplain of the
Eighth Regiment; Dr. Frank F. D.

of arrangements; William M. Robin

It is also expected to make use of
some of the other subjects now be
ing pursued at the Walnut street
school. Members of the institution
who re now pursuing the subject of
surveying would be sent out In squads
at different times to make military
maps of the country surrounding Har

late plans for ofTense and defense in
case of an attack by an enemy.
May Have Summer Camp
It is also hoped to place the troop

A way to secure funds far this pro- j
ject will be discussed at a later date.
At last night's meting it was decided i
to have a signal squad, a hospital !
squad, and an engineering squad in I
addition to the regular cavalry drill. |
Work was begun last night on a port
able wireless station to be used by
the signal squad.
At the gathering last evning J.
Grant Koons gave the candidates a
black board talk on formations. Sev
enty-eight have already signed the

backing, it is expected that the troop
will be placed on lirst class footing
ready to leave the city on tweny-four
hours' notice.
Stiteli Elected Captain
"Pete" Sutch was elected captain of
the troop at the meting last evening.
His choice is a popular one. Sutch
started the project, and this, together
with ihs popularity as a track athlete,
made his election a certainty.
John Demming, another track star,
received tlio election of first lieuten
ant, while Kenneth Stark was elected
second lieutenant. Captain Sutch ap
pointed Charles Johnson, first ser
geant; Norman Todd, supply sergeant;
Joseph Schmidt, stable sergeant; T.

| Pel lifer, Harry Eyster, J. If. Keller
: and Lester Wolf were named as duty

Secret Lists For
Jurymen Are Planned
A bill which would prevent names
of jurors being made known until the
time of a trial, was introduced into
the House by Mr. Me Vicar, Allegheny,
to-day. The bill provides that x the list
shall be kept secret by the officials in
cuarge of drawing of panels and not
published. Panels may be drawn for
only two weeks, and men summoned
are forbidden to inform any one but
families of summons for jury duty,
mid families may not give Information
either. When a case is called the list
shall be shown to counsel and not un
til then. When the jurors have been
selected, which shall be in the present
| manner, the list is to be returned to
I the clerk. The whole plan is to secure
las much secrecy as possible.
! Violation of the proposed act would
be made punishable bv 11,000 fine or
