"Deserves to Live Several Hundred Years Longer"
The Sunday Scranton Republican, a most .beau
tifully printed, well edited and one of the most pro
gressive papers in the State, speaks in kindly tones
of us in the following words :
"The Danville Intelligencer is getting
nlong in years. It celebrated its seventy-sixth
birthday last week and still looks forward to a
hopeful future. The Intelligencer is a good
weekly paper, intensely Democratic, it is true,
but newsy and interesting, and deserves to live
several hundred years longer."
The Republican has said more for us than a
good many of our business men think, or if they
think it they are not satisfied with their own opin
i in and good judgments, and hesitate to seize a
g:\ind opportunity by placing an attractive adver
tisement in our columns and thus benefiting them
selves.
There is no better medium in this section- by
which to reach the people, than through the col
li.nns of the Intelligencer. Why it isn't grasped by
111. Mil, eagerly, we cannot understand, for it seems
SO EASY FOR STRANGERS to circulate among
the business people and DRAW THE WOOL
OVER THEIR EYES for space on time tables,
co-operative sales, etc., and then pay high prices,
too.
WALK AS IF YOU WERE SOMEBODY.
Never allow your physical standard to drop.
Keep up your energy ; walk as if you were some
body and were going to do something worth while
j.i the world, so that even a stranger will note your
bearing and mark your superiority. If you have
fallen into a habit of walking in a listless, indolent
way turn right about face at once and make a
change. Y'ou don't want to give people the im
pression that you are discouraged, or that you are
already falling to the rear. Straighten up, then !
Stand erect! Be a man !
Begin to save your money for Christmas now.
In your selfish way did you forget to remember the
poor and needy yesterday ?
Market will find its place back on Mill street again
soon. Well, that is where it ought to be.
Now that the general election is over let our citizens
begin to look up capable timber for the offices to be filled
at the spring election. Let representative men he selected
by both parties and may the best man win.
Several of the President's familiars are now shouting
the name of Taft in stentorian tones as the administration's
candidate for 1908. What becomes of Mr. Roosevelt's
unanimous nomination of Root as the well beloved and
only 'i Cher Root.
Several magazines have asked ex-Pension Commis
sioner Ware to write a poem giving his views of office
holding in Washington, but coupling the request with the
condition that it shall contain no words that cannot prop
erly be putin print.
No, my pessimistic friend, the Republican majority
in the next House will not be the largest the party ever
had. The Republican majority will be 116 over all, but
it was 133 over all in 1894, and the Democratic party did
not immediately and forthwith turn up its toes to the
daisies. In fact, some think that it still lives.
Organized labor has made its bed with the Republican
party and must lie in it. The Democratic party, by vir
tue of the vote of organized labor, has no power in the
government, State or National, and could not aid it in
obtaining legislation if it would. But it seems that the
Republican party can cheat and flout organized labor at
pleasure and get its vote notwithstanding. Perhaps this
is on the principle of the lines in Hudibras:
—"The pleasure is as great of being cheated as to cheat.''
Somebody has playfully remarked that there is noth
ing so false as facts except figures. Economists have long
contended that as compared with Europeans the people of
this country are neither frugal nor saving but are spend
thrifts. Now comes the Bureau of Statistics in Washing
ton estimating that there are 7,305,443 depositors in the
banks of the United States, with an average of 8418 for
each. In England the average for each depositor is 887 —
only a fourth as much. In the United States the total
bank deposits amount to $37 per head of the popula
tion.
It does seem as if the charge of imperialism against
the administration was tolerably well founded. It was
bad enough for this republic to accept with fulsome ex
pressions of thanks the bronze statue of King Frederick,
one of the most absolute of monarchs, from the despot
now upon the throne of Germany; but it was thought
necessary at the unveiling last week in Washington to en
tirely fence out the public and confine the participants in
the ceremony to "select" persons. The crowd of thous
ands who assembled to see the show found themselves at
the gates of the spacious park, up against a cordon of
policemen.
The Philadelphia "North American" continues to
assert that President Roosevelt, having been "freed of all
obligations to politicians, and inspired by the tremendous
vote of public confidence, promises to force trusts into
compliance with the laws and to enact more strict opera
tion if necessary; to probe the operations of the Beef
Trust; to lay bare the mail service scandals; to encourage
tariff revision, by friends of protection; to proceed inde
pendently of adverse sentiment in the Senate, should it
assert itself." Barring the question of Philippine inde
pendence, this programme looks rather Parkerish. Have
the people, after all, elected a President who is a brevet
Democrat ?
It must have been a dizzying sight—the introduction
to a Washington audience on Tuesday of Parson Wagner,
author of"The Simple Life" by President Roosevelt,
author of"The Strenuous Life." The President insists
that the two kinds of lives are only one kind and that he
and the German pastor are it. Wagner not only declares
that his distinguished host is the most sincere and artless
of men, but that the American people lead the most sim
ple lives of any people on earth. This is to laugh! It
shows the delicious simplicity of the parson. If there is
on earth a people living a more helter-skelter, volatile,
and complex life than we do, that people has yet to be
discovered.
" There are more people in Montour county trying to tell
how it happened tlian in any other part of flie universe."—
Milton Record.
We suppose you have reference to the late election,
Brother Hastings. Well, you see startling events are so
few and far between iu Montour county that when some
thing turns up like the great Republican landslide, we re
joice in having something to talk about, too. Now, it is
a little different with Northumberland county. Y'ou al
ways have something new to discuss, or if nothing turns
up within a few days you can rehearse some of your mur
der scandals, so we know you won't he too hard on us for
doing a little talking at least once iu four years. j
DO YOU POSSESS IT ?
Cheerful living—is there anything liner Is
there anything more productive of true happiness;
more conducive to health or more beneficial to the
world at large, as well as to the individuallf so,
what is it ?
By a man of wide note and deep learning we
are advised "to be cheerful always, no matter what
else we do."
Our lives are not governed by what we do or
what is done to us, but chiefly by how we think
about these things. The patient force which deter
mines the swing of the needle is not ability or in
tellectual prowess. Disposition is the corner-stone
of satisfactory living. Behind and above this must
be character, which is, of course, the foundation of
the whole human structure.
But character without cheerfulness is like a
house without windows. It is a dark sort of thing,
which for all its safety and strength is sunless.
The call to cheerfulness is not in any sense a
call to charity. The cheerful man is helping him
self more than he can possibly help anyone else, but
see what a fine sort of self-help it is, sinco through
it he is constantly doing for others!
A sunny disposition is one of the best stocks a
man can carry. Everybody likes it, and this being
the case* everyone is ready to deal with it.
The person who is constantly finding fault in
everything is of no benefit to himself or any other
person. He is a constant bore and worry to all,
and finally receives very little or no attention.
Likewise the newspaper that continually insists on
trying to misrepresent and pick flaws finds itself
soon a back-number, and has no support, and is
soon crowded from the field by another, that,though
not any better edited, deals fairly with the public.
People soon realize a sunny and truthful dis
position. Behind many an unsuccessful business
career you can find a sour face and a complaining
voice. Do not infer from this that cheerfulness is
a sure road to material success. It is more than
that, my friend; it is success!
Success, you know, is an India rubber term.
Its meaning always depends on something behind it.
Y'ou can stretch it into most any shape you like. If
a man starts out to rob banks, and makes good
hauls and escapes arrest, he is successful. If a man
sets about the real business of life with no other
idea than making money, he is successful, even
though he has sacrificed every virture to the de
mands made upon him by the dollar.
And if a person determines early in life that a
cheerful disposition is worth having, and strives to
obtain it, and does so, that person is a success in a
fine sense of the word. Of course, comparatively
few men and women ever stop to think about suc
cess in this form, but if they will acquire the habit,
I will guarantee a larger measure of satisfaction
than they may have met with before.
Cheerfulness is one of the universally under
stood attributes. It is accepted at its face value the
world over. It is the gold coin of disposition—in
deed, it is such a large part of disposition that it
would almost seem to constitute the whole of it.
Some folks seotn to be born cheerful, and this,
in fact, may have something to do with a certain
but very small proportion of the light-hearted be
ings in existence. It doesn't make much difference
how wo .a'e born, or where, so far as our disposi
tions in life are concerned. We can acquire most
any virtue by applying ourselves to the task.
Some of the most cheerful persons you and I
know are those who have the smallest apparent
"excuse" for being so. We wonder why this should
be, when, on the other hand, are ranged multitudes
who seem to have everything heart could wish, and
1 yet aro not cheerful.
We need not wonder. We may deduct from
the case a truth well worth remembering—that
cheerfulness is not necessarily a twin of plenty or
■ peace. It is even more commonly found among
persons whoso lives are not marked by either.
It is just a desire to see all the good that can
' possibly bo seen; to accept everything that comes in
a spirit of willingness; to let complaints dio a-burn
ing. The man or woman who seeks this pleasant
, path shall find it fringed on either side by green
, meadows, shady nooks, cool streams, and the sky
above will always be acceptable, whether blue or
! gray. Days that once upon a time vexed will now
, become bearers of good things.
i The human world around will not bo so cold
and far-standing as of yore. A new spirit of com
radeship and friendliness will seem to permeate even
lifeless things,
j Don't think for a minute that there are never
112 circumstances which demand frowns and good,
. strong language. There are, and always will be,
. and you are to meot and handle them accordingly.
: But do remember that the great majority of earthly
• happenings are deserving of the smiles of good
■ cheer.

MILLIONAIRE COMPETITION.
t Andrew Carnegie has assured Pittsburg people
t that if thgy are really desirous of having a universi
ty which shall beat anything in the country ho will
1 help.
" Imagination falters when it attempts to picture
112 the struggle that must follow among the philanthro
pists when such a dace maker starts in the school
making race. Fancy the scene at the Millionaires'
3 Club five years from now when Mr. Carnegie will
1 come swinging jauntily into the room with his golf
s clubs under his arm.
"Well, John," ho will say, "I have just added
gymnasium facilities."
t Mr. Rockefeller will rub his hands in glee and
. say : "Too late, Andrew. Very good in its way,
e but antiquated. I have just bought Lake Michigan
t for the University of Chicago, for its crows to prac
tice on. All out at Sault Ste. Marie hereafter."
Mr. Vanderbilt will look up from his paper
1 and remark casually : " I might say that the fam
ily has just purchased all the land within two miles
j of the Y'ale campus, and will cover it with dormi
-3 tories." Mr. Vanderbilt will say this very modest
s ly, but with a gleam of triumph in his eye. But,
s "Ah ! " he will exclaim, as he returns to his paper,
- "Boy, bring my check-book! Gentlemen, Mrs.
t Stanford has just bought the Sierra Nevada Moun
-3 tains for the school of forestry of the Lcland Stan

The three rich men will pale at this announce
ment.
1 " 1 here's one thing left to do ! " they will cry
in chorus, "Raise the professors' salaries. We
must stay at the top."
, "I give an annual income of SIOO,OOO to raise
. the professors' salaries," ono of the millionaiers will
blurt out.

Sluggish River.
Considering its length the Volga is
the most sluggish river. In 2,325
miles it falls only G65 feet, or slight
ly over three inches per mile, while
at one point about the middle of its
course the bed is fully lifty feet be
low sea level. Thus all the water lo
that height above the bottom must
be still, save when stirred by floods.
The Volgo also is singular nmong
great rivers in having no mountain
ous course. It rises among marshes
and lakes, and is so sluggish even
then that a dam has been erected
which makes it navigable from its
sixty-fifth mile onward. Almost
within the historic period it must
have been an off shoot from the
Caspian, which then stretched far in
to Ihe interior of Russia, drying up
into a series of river connected lakes.
'lho Volga has taken the place of
these, along with many of their
characteristics including a general
sluggishness.
The Scheldt is proverbially a slow
river and is practically lost in a maze
of canals, bnt its fall from source lo

THE REV. i
| MR. DINSMORE
By ROB McCHEYNE
Copyright, 'W, by R. M. George
Scroggsfleld was to have a new min
ister. The whole village was Interest
ed, for. although there were several
churches In the little hamlet, this was
the flrst new minister to appear In a
whole generation.
The deacon's committee had divided
on tbe subject, some favoring a young
man and some an older and wiser .
head, but Brother Willhm»had turned
the scale by threatening to withdraw
his subscription unless a young and
"progressive" man should be called. j
Accordingly after much lobbying on
the part of the Ladles' Aid society it
was announced that the Rev. Mr. Dins
more, a young student of divinity, had j
been selected and that he would occu
py the pulpit the following Sunday.
Saturday morning came, and as the
new minister had not yet putin an ap
pearance the village was on the alert
He would surely come that day.
They were not disappointed. When
the 11:10 train pulled Into the depot a
stranger stepped off and presented him
self at the ticket window.
He was a most affable young man
and was Jauntily dressed.
"Good morning," he said, and he put
such an emphasis on the first word
that It sounded almost like a chant.
Miss Williams, the operator, looked
up from her lunch and quickly slipped
a half eaten egg into her apron pocket.
"Can you tell me, madam," said the
gentlemau. smiling, "everything I want
to know about this historic and pro
gressive city of Scroggsfleld ?"
"I—l—why, yes, sir, I think so, if you
please, sir," she stammered, quite over
come.
"Well, that's lucky for me," the stran
ger exclaimed enthusiastically. "Now,
If you will/' he continued, "just tell me
"I AM THE BEV. MB. DINSMORE."
where the new church is located, and,
I swear, I'll remember you In my dally
prayers."
The operator had begun to resent
his manner, but now she understood.
It was the new minister.
"It's on South Main street, the
church is," she said, "right next to
Farnham's drug store and hat empori
um. But mebby you'd better go down
to our house and see paw. He's on
the deacon's committee and can tell
you anything you want to know."
"Thanks," replied the affable stran
ger, pushing his panama onto the
back ofthls head and winking boldly
at the abashed and flustered girl.
"P'raps I will call, but not specially
when your pa's at home. Oh, by the
way, Miss—Miss"—
He waited.
"Williams," she said.
"Ah, Miss Williams. Well, now, Mies
Williams, tell your pa I'll meet the
committee at the church this evening
at 5. That's a good girl. Thanks.
Now, where's the hotel?"
Miss Williams looked askance. "The
Temperance House is right across
from the church," she said.
The stranger gulped hard f.nd went
out.
Within five minutes the deacon's
daughter had managed to get the word
to her folks, and the village soon knew
that the new minister was In town.
When Deacon Williams started around
to tell the rest of the committee he
met the indignant president of the La
dies' Aid society upon his doorstep.
"What kind of a man is this young
Dinsmore?" she demanded. "If he
preaches tomorrow you can drop my
name from the subscription list."
The deacon stared blandly.
"He's been throwing kisses at my
daughter from the balcony of the
Grandvlew hotel," she continued, "and,
what's more, she's been throwing them
back."
The deacon looked pained and re
fused to believe it. But at the flrst
corner he was stopped by the village
postmaster.
"Huh," says he, "that's a nice kind
of a minister you've picked up. He's
Jcs' won $5 off Barney Miller on a dog
tight."
The deacon turned to go.
"He says he'll save that church from
belli' struck off the face of the airth
with a thunderbolt," called the post
master.
"They told me Rev.' Dinsmore had
original methods," mused the deacon,
"but bettin' on dog fights an' sparkin'
with the girls in public's too origi
nal."
At Brother Andrews' he met three
members of the ladles' Aid society,
all talking at once. From the medley
of voices he learned that the new min
ister had been seen to drink five
whisky highballs within a half hour,
that he had tipped the barber 10 cents
and that he had askcl the buxom
widow Carewe togo driving with him.
The ladles were still talking when
the good deacon made his escape and
set out for the house of another com
mitteeman, whither Brother Andrews
had already preceded him.
The brethren met him with re
proachful silence. Brother Andrews
was the first to speak.
"Well, deacon," he said, "you see
what your progressiveness has come
to."
The deacon shook his head in sol
emn self reproach. "Well, Brother ,
Andrews," he said finally, "I'm afraid
this young Dlnsuiore's too progressive
for Scroggsfleld, but We'll have a
chance to sound him. He's asked me
to gather the committee at the church
this afternoon. That's what I came
around for."
The three old deacons started sol
emnly off for the church. In the street .
there was a great .commotion as two '
tenuis went dashing up and down tbc
| main thoroughfare, neck and neck, the
driven hallooing In lusty tones and
brandishing their whips.
AH the foremost team passed the
three deacons, Brother Andrews rec
ognized the widow Carewe, smiling
gayly from her place beside the daunt
less Dlnsmore. In another Instant tbe
sporting parson bad turned bis horsta
and was drawing up at tbe church
door.
"Ha" be exclaimed, slapsing the
deacons one by one upon tbe shoul
der, "I'm Just In tfene, I see. Pine
church this." He waved bis hand af
fably. "Come in, come In. I'll not de
tain you but a minute." And be led tbe
way into tbe little anteroom, where
tbe rest of the committee sat awaiting
ad opportunity to pass on Rev. Dlns
more.
, "Now, gentleman," be Mid, turning
nnd shifting his bat to the back of hla
head, "I called you out here to talk to
you about the salvation of this church,
j I tell you, gentlemen, you're to be com
' mended and congratulated In having
built so fine an edifice to tbc glory of
Scroggsfleld. But, I tell you, gentle*
men, you've built this church In de
fiance of eternal lnwe—laws that are
not to be defied by man. I wonder,
gentlemen, that our magnificent build
ing hasn't been struck down by a
thunderbolt from heaven. I"
A meek mannered stranger, wearing
thick glasses and carrying a badly
scuffed gripsack, bad entered tbe door
and was approaching timidly. Tbe
speaker stopped In tbe midst of bis
barnngue, and the newcomer stood
looking from one to another.
"I am the Itev. Mr. DlnsmorA" he
said apologetically. "Can you tell
me"—
"What!" cried the six, starting to
their feet.
"lilnamore," said the stranger ffflut
ly.
"Then who are you?" demanded
Demon Williams of tbe first stranger.
"I beg your pardon, gentlemen— my
card," and the speaker graciously pre
sented one to each of the committee.
" 'J. P. Bowser, Esquire,' " bo went
on proudly, "representing tbc greatest
lightning rod establishment in the
world. I tell you, gentlemen, your
magnificent building la In eternal dan
ger from the fierce and vengeful rav
ages of"—
But the committee were busily en
gaged shaking bands with each other
and with the Bev. Mr. Dlnsmore.
