"The sleeve" exclaims a fashion article, "Is the
thing," forgetting that what a man has up it is really that
which counts.
We all believe in inter molecular space; in the infinite
devisibility of matter, and in the Simple Life, but we
make no claim to understanding them.
"Heredottis was the Father of History" said a prom
inent Washington clergyman at a dinner last week, "and
Gorge Washington was the Father of his country, but,
141 hi my soul, lam tired of the posing of Roosevelt as
the Father of us all."
"St. Louis" we read, "is now bending all her cil
eries to secure a population of 1,000,000." President
Bo isevelt must have dropped some race suicide pamphlets
Hi.mnd while he was at the Exposition.
The average pay of the public school teacher in In
diana is estimated by the State Teachers Association to he
S 120.32 per year. This is al.out 8200 a year less than
t!ie average pay of a street cleaner in New York.
Not all of the horrors of sudden and bloody death
are associated with war. During the twelve months end
i June 30th last 3,787 persons were killed and 51,343
i ijured as a result of railroad accidents in the United
States.
It seems that leap year has been a failure in Lycom
ing county. Almost <>oo marriage licenses were issued
t'lere in 1903, but in 1904, the first leap year in eight
veirs, the records show but 515. The bashful bachelors
are thinking about removing to another county before
1908.
A number of philanthropic men and women have or
gjnized a society to provide healthful exercise for the poor
man. They will provide golf links close to the cities and
public gymnasiums. In the meantime the poor man can
sustain his physical system by an attack on the wood pile
and the spring carpet cleaning as of yore.
President Roosevelt's suggestion in his annual mess
age to Congress that wife heaters should he punished by
(logging meets with general approval. The numerous ad
vantages of administering corporal punishment are as
speedily recognized now as they were by the old woman
who in the case of her drunken husband was advised to
heap coals of fire on his head. "Faith," she ,smVl.
<ln von tl.inlr •!—* «»uiii <io gooa. t have already tried
hot water."
And now the announcement is made that Mrs. Chad
wick's lawyers will putin a plea of insanity on behalf of
their client. It is a thin -one, but, 110 doubt, the best that
can be done under the circumstances. The claim that a
woman who has been able to get more than a million dol
lars from a dozen of bankers upon the strength of the
forged securities, which most of them did not even get a
glimpse of, shows that if this woman is insane, as her
lawyers will now contend, her insanity is coupled with
greater mental shrewdness and calculation than is possess
ed by the money lenders whom she victimized. It is the
latter who would more naturally fall into the category of
mental unsoundness than Mrs. Chadwick.
YOUR WORST VICE.
You who have sworn off with tho new year be
Btire that you aro able to carry out the pledge.
Don't prove to yourself that you are weak; you
probably know it already and need no corroborative
evidence.
If you have a vice that you can conquer, that
you feel certain that you have'the power to over
come, try to accomplish that end. But don't tell
anyone about your good resolution. Just try all
alone, and no one can laugh at you if you fail.
Smoking is expensive, drinking is often fatal
and always bad and swearing is contemptible. If
you try to overcome one or all of these, wo wish
you success. But there is one vice that we all have
that is greater than all of these. It is tho disposi
tion to berate others, to believe the foul stories and
doubt the good ones.
Oh, if every man and woman would swear off
gossiping, would decide to doubt tho bad reports
and believe the good ones, we could have a heaven
right in this section. Tho ono thing that causes the
greatest worry and the most lasting sorrow is the
circulation of reports that injure.
Incidentally, we shall all do well to determine
t) try to so live that bad reports of us must be false
ones.
THE FALL OF PORT ARTHUR
The long-expected surrender of Port Arthur has at
last coiue to pass, and appears to liavo been secured by
the exhaustion of the garrison, which disabled it from
continuing its resistance to the Japanese assaults. The
defenders are reported to have been short of ammunition
and provisions, as well as of men. No doubt the Russian
government was well advised of the situation, but appeal's
to have been unable to relieve it. It seems notable that
the garrison's supplies should have failed just when the
facilities for receiving them must have been promoted by
t'le departure of the Japanese fleet. Hut doubtless further
accounts will clear up the situation and show why the
Russian garrison was left to its fate.
Certainly the disaster to the Russian cause seems to
be great, not only in the damage done to its prestige, but
in the release of the Japanese army to faee Kuropatkin.
The Russian mishap must be laid to its sea defeat. The
Japanese ruled the sea, after having destroyed and ren
dered valueless the Russian fleets, in a manner which is
not clearly explainable creditably to the Russian naval
administration. It seems that the government must have
been advised that its naval reinforcements started out 100
late to be of any service in securing their supposed objec
tive in the relief of I'ort Arthur, and the suspicion is rais
ed that it was all done for show, and without the purpose
of affording that relief which it seemed too weak to effect,
even though it had been in time to essay it.
The fall of I'ort Arthur, it is generally supposed,
will tend toward the shortening of the war, though how it
will make Russia more disposed for peace is not clear, as
it will be an admission of her weakness, which she is not
likely to make if she can help it. It will, however, be a
valuable thing won by Japan, which will be hers to make
disposition of in essaying peace. It is said that the pow
ers may not be willing that she shall permanently retain
Port Arthur; but certainly if Japan is asked to give it up,
there will need to be a very valuable consideration offered
her in exchange.
So far it is clear that Kuropatkin will faee in the
spring campaign the entire Japanese military force; and
that the Russian navy in its full force will meet the Jap
anese navy, strengthened by success and experience; if the
war goes on; and the prospect of a prolonged contest may
be said to be at least as good as that the fall of Port
Arthur will bring it to a speedy close. It may be assum
ed, however, that the months before the spring will he
used in an energetic effort to secure the peace which Japan
wants, and tho other nations, save Russia, will be pleased
to see conic about.
THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES
Tho head clerk, the bookkeeper and the cashier
were looking out of tho office window down at a
gang of laborers shoveling snow in the street. The
boss of the gang was not in sight, and the men, con
sequently were "taking things easy."
"Look at the fellow in front there with the
pipe, Ha!" exclaimed the bookkeeper, "lie's really
taken one stroke! Now another! He must 1..
ing his mind."
"I'll bet," laughed the head clerk, "that he
don't throw that shovel full before you count ten."
"One two, three," began the cashier—"You
lose. There it goes. Hut now ho's resting."
"This follow back here," said the bookkeeper,
"hasn't done a stroke since we've been watching."
"And look at that human glacier with the old
fur caj) on. You'd have to drive stakes and sight
across 'em to see whether he's moving at all."
"And yet," said the head clerk, sticking his
pen behind his ear and putting one foot on tho chair,
"that's only one sample of the way these city em
ployees do us taxpayers out of money right along.
There isn't a good man on the Street Department
gang. Now, if wo could only throw out some of
the grafters there in the City Hall and putin a
decent city government we could get a bunch of
live men who would get the snow oil' there in a
hurry."
"It's an outrage," said the bookkeeper, and
the trouble isn't altogether with the men—it's the
bosses. That boss out there doesn't care a rap
whether the men keep at work or not. lie got his
job through his political pull."
"Out in our town," said the cashier, "we have
a man who knows his business. When I came in
this morning, the streets were clean."
"Look!" cried the bookkeeper excitedly,
"That old buck in front there has his shovel ready
for another stroke."
The three men laughed. Then there was a step
behind them. The head of the firm had come in.
As the three employees turned and saw him they
galvanized themselves into action, and scrambled
back to their desks. The head of the firm had a
grim smile 011 his face. He had hoard a good part
of the conversation.
ILLEGAL PRINTING.
Twice of late The Intelligencer has sufferod at
tho hands of borough officers, who ignorantly or
otherwise gave printing to another that justly be
longed to us.
We refrained from making mention of tho first
offense, trusting it was an oversight and would not
be repeated, but now, again, we find we are being
unfairly treated and believe that it is time to call
attention to the fact.
Last summer Borough Council aske 1 for bids
on some certain printing. We gave our bid after
the others had submitted theirs. It was almost
half that of the next lowest bidder. The other bid
ders were given a second chance, and of course one
was much lower, and got the job.
Tho Sok««»i lXram last week asked for bids on
two hundred "Courses of Study" for our public
schools—to be printed in pamphlet form. There
were three legal bids presented. Ours was the
lowest. But a member of tho school board bid—a
price that was below living wages—and got it.
The school law emphatically declares that a
member of the Board cannot receive any compensa
tion for work rendered that body, with the excep
tion of secetary and treasurer, who can be paid for
their services in those particular offices only.
Not that we are envious of tho party who got
the printing,—for we would not have done any of
it at tho prices he got,—but that we grieve the lack
of interest manifested by our Borough representa
tives in the public offices they hold, do we expose
their methods of dealing with the public.
The sympathizing public may infer that there
is a screw loose somewhere, but wo frankly confess
that wo believe tho majority of each of these re
spected bodies are sincere, and only through the
lack of knowledge on these subjects or a little loose
ness or carelessness in their way of doing business
does these errors occur.
Oitimes a little brace at the proper place will
support and strengthen and often make secure that
which would otherwise be a great disaster. In
short, "a hint to the wise is sufficient.
THINK FOR THE YOUNG-
Sad and sorrowful are the lessons we are taught
so frequently by the thoughtlessness and carelessness
of ourselves or by those more experienced.
How many unfortunates we see almost daily
passing us by 111 the busy world that otherwise
would be of sound mind and body, had it not been
for a lack of precaution on their part or the enforce
ment of tho civil or moral law on the part of those
in authority.
The lamentable accident that befel our young
neighbor, William Books, Monday evening has
caused a dark cloud of criticism to rest upon the
employees of the messenger of destruction that sev
ered his leg in twain.
It is known and talked about, that, though the
young man exercised very little caution and fore
thought, ho made it a practice to enter the train and
ambitiously offer his papers for sale to the passen
gers between the station and the point where he met
his terrible calamity, almost every evening. Tho
conductors and brakesmen of course witnessed this,
but, unthinkingly, tolerated tho boy to extend his
business as a favor, trusting the inevitable would
not occur. But it did.
Now, who is to blamo ( Older heads must do
some thinking for the young, and the sooner this
precaution is exercised the better for suffering
humanity.
THE GIRL THAT LAUGHS
Girls spend considerable time trying to find out
how to be popular. It is natural that a girl should
seek approval and admiration. Her popularity
means a good time, boxes of candy, theatres, dances,
flowers—everything that tho hearts of tho young
delight in.
The girl that is popular is the girl who laughs.
Not tho girl that simpers and puckers or giggles,
but the girl that laughs and means it. The girl
that laughs can have candy and flowers and theatres
every day in the week.
Men flock about her. They adore her. She
laughs herself straight into the hearts of beaux and
admirers and straight into all the good times that a
girl can dream of.
She laughs, but she is careful when she laughs.
She laughs with her beaux, but never at them. She
laughs at what thoy say when they say it, but never
afterward. She laughs at their jokes, but never
about them. She never laughs at any one's blun
ders or misfortunes.
Women forget to worry when they hear the
cheerful girl's laugh. Old men are warmed at the
sound of it. Young men listen and follow it, pay
court to it, marry it. For it is the laugh that keeps
tho heart young, tho iaugh that keeps the face
bright.

boy, now he pays fifty dollars a pair for his shoes ami has

MR. EDlTOß:—Christmas proved to be
a gloomy day, so far as the weather was
concerned. Snow begau falling early in
the moring and continued all day. Four
and one half inches fell during that time.
Church services were held but the at
tendance was small. Otherwise the day
was celebrated in the usual manner,
"■''N S !IOU!s rendered their ser
i vicctj un Friday, Saturday and Sunday
evenings.
The air is full of rumors of marriages to
take place in the near future. There are
three couples, at least, who are ready to
take a plunge into the miseries of matri
mony. Well, that seems to be the only
way to cool the ardor of youthful love.
Miss Ethel M. Foulk, of the Williams
port Commercial College, spent the holi
days with her parents. She returned on
Monday.
Mrs. John M. Smith visited relatives
at Muncy the week before Christmas.
Mr. Jerry (J. Smith left on Monday for
Waterloo, N. Y., where he has secured a
position in a woolen mill.
Miss Dorothy Fetherolf, of Mazeppa,
Union county, visited her sister, Miss
Nellie Fetherolf 011 Friday and Satur-;
day.
Mr. Ralph Irwin spent Friday and
Saturday with relatives at Buffalo Cross
Roads.
Roy Smith, of Sunbury, is visiting his
aunt Mrs. A. J. Levan, and other rela
tives in this vicinity.
New Year's day was a direct contrast
to Christmas, in the weather question.
The day was clear and quite warm, the
temperature rising to 52°. The ice and
snow disappeared rapidly under the
genial rays of the sun, leaving fields al
most entirely bare. Monday was a rainy
day.
The wells have risen, in many case?,
to their normal quantity of water.
The infamous Coal Trust is catching its
victims —the public—going and coming.
It charges exorbitant prices and gives
an inferior quality of coal. About one
half of it is simply slate thinly disguised
jis coal. Everybody is complaining, but
that does not hurt the trust.
Wheat is coming out bright and green.
If it gets through the remainder of the
winter as well as it has up to this time
the chances for a good crop are assured.
Yesterday was a very stormy day. A
young blizzard prevailed all day, and to
ward night it became cold.

The teachers' meeting held at the
Exchange school house on Friday even
ing last was largely attended, no one
seeming to care for the squalls 01 rain.
The meeting was called to order by
i Isaac L. Acor. teacher of the school.
After singing, ''Help It On," by the
teacher and pupils, a very interesting
program, consisting of recitations, was
rendered. Then the subject, ,4 How to
teach United States History," was in
troduced. Miss Maud Mohr read a
paper 011 James Buckanan's administra
tion, followed by Mr. John Yagel who
explained by a diagram 011 the black
board how he would teach the Battle of
Gettysburg. Mr. Yagel handled the
subject in such a way that it was inter
esting to all. Mr. Isaac Acor told how
he had tried different methods of teach
ing history. He says every year he tries
a new method and can obtain better re
sults. Mr. Acor thinks teachers should
not try to till the children's heads with a
lot of dates. A list of about fifty dates
with the thirteen original colonies is all
of importance, as it is not necessary for
the children to know the date every ex
plorer who made voyages during the
early exploration period unless they can
remember them without much hard
study. Mipt. Derr gave some very prac
tical suggestions on the teaching of addi
tion, division, mental arithmetic and his
tory. Boyd Stead asked the teachers
whether they taught any current history
and to what extent. Isaac Acor respond
ed by saying, all the current history he
taught was i.' he read anything in the
newspapers he thought important he
would ask his pupils if they read it and
if they did not he told them what he
had read. Number teachers present—

Headache
When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys
tem, centering- in the brain/
This irritation 'produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
U dangerous, as frequent ar.d
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, epi
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain rills.
They stop the pain by sooth
ing, strengthening and reliev
ing the tension upon the nerves
—not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
chloral,cocaine or similar drugs.
