IT DOES APPEAR STRANGE-
Is honesty the best policy for us to pursue at
all times (
The Intelligencer, ever since it came under the
control of the hand of the present publisher, has
been recognized to be fearless and unapproachable.
We are known to follow the motto carried at the
head of the paper, and for this reason, and this
only, are wo passed by a number of persons, of our
own p irty, who have legal or other printing to be
done.
The effort that is exercised to present the best
possible paper for our readers, should place us first
in iho hearts of all—Republicans and Democrats
alik*, —for there is no other paper in the county its
equal. In fact all the rest fall far short of meeting
its biandard.
Are our efforts appreciated
('an any reader realize the force of men, the
talent, the great labor and expense that are required
to produce one single issue of this paper in its pres
ent form The publisher has done his best to please
YOU
While a weekly paper, in a small county like
Montour, must almost be necessarily small. The
Intelligencer compares favorably with the ideal
paper of the twentieth century. While we have
made Ihis effort to better please our readers, we
discovered the other d:i v a man, a county officer,
wli i thought that because much of our matter was
uso.i from the daily source that we should not have
hii 1a Democrat?) support. llow foolish ! Almost
as nad as that "gag"' that was tried on some of the
county Democrats last spring, to have a small
siieet, that contained two or three columns of her
own matter, recognized as the ORGAN of the
county, against the Intelligencer which appears
with from twenty to twenty-six large columns of
local and the best Slate and National news. llow
ridiculous !
Were I a Republican and the Intelligencer to
appear as it does, would that condemn the paper !
No, it would still bo Democratic.
The paper goes on its merits.
These are all flimsy excuses. There is some
thing wrong. The value of tho Intelligencer is
fully known. 15ut there is no "rake-off" comes
iioai this office. Do you see it, follow citizens (
If there weren't a "pull" coming somewhere
or a small tree, bearing that precious fruit—tho
plumb—to shake, you know as well as I do thai
occasionally you would see some legal notices,
followed by signatures that arc never or very in
frequently seen in our columns.
What does it mean
Honesty is the best policy, always.
According to Professor Wiley of the Bureau ofChem
i Ury there are few articles of food that are nil poisoned,
Vie don't mind that if only the cook doesn't leave.
The dishes and silver at I lie St Regis 1 Intel in Nov
York are marked with an anchor. This it is supposed, ii
a hint to souvenir collectors who prey 011 hotels am
restaurants.
Last winter's session of Congress was the shortest
"long session" in ninety years. If the President carrie
out his threats about forcing the railroad freight rate leg
islation this will be the longest "short session" 01
record.
A New York millionaire is going to build a bote
where honest working people may eat, drink and sleep fo
fifty cents a day. This will give Senator Tom Piatt
president of the express company, and its attorney in th<
Senate of the United States an opportunity to'save some
thing.
New Jersey reports having killed a blacksnake 01
last Wednesday that was more than six feet long. He
weather prophets are now prophesying a mild winter
They may be right, lint what the dickens was a snake do
ing in a foot of snow ? That throws a wet blanket on tli
whole story.
During the year 1904, 5(14 fatal accidents occurrei
in the anthracite coal regions, and 272 wives were mad
widows and nearly 600 children were left without fathers
I lie business of anthracite coal mining is, perhaps, tin
most hazardous, next to railroading, of any pursued b;
men in this Commonwealth.
The man who manufactures an adulterated food
"says the Philadelphia Inquirer" and sells it for what i
is not is a thief and a rascal and deserves the severes
punishment that the law can give him." If Pennsyl
vania is starting out on reforms who knows hut she ma
yet get around to her politicians.
For a man who worked hard all day"says the Ne\
York Sun," to come home and find his supper uncooked
his house cold his children running the streets and hi
wife drunk on tho floor is a trifle exasperating." It i
indeed, and if he allows himself the emotional relief o
beating her, it would seem a little rough to send him t
the whipping post for it.
The rains and thaws of last week have settled tli
drought question very effectually everywhere, betwcei
Kentucky and Maine, at least, for the present. Wlier
the ground was frozen deeply, perhaps, the relief will Ii
only temporary, because the rain was unable to penetrat
the soil, but the warm rain, no doubt, opened a way, atu
the water penetrated to the desired depths filling tli
sources of the wells and streams.
The American people certainly are "easy." W<
allow a few hundred idlers to tramp over the country
living ofi" the soft-hearted people who •'never turn a Irani]
away empty handed.'' The result is that wo have a elas
that thinks the world owes tliein a living. It seems use
less to keep saying that the "unwashed tribe" sliouh
never be fed, hut the statement should become a Jaw si
that everyone who feeds a tramp commits a misdemeanor
It should not be forgotten that it takes at least two ti
make a tramp's life possible—one to tramp and the othc
to feed him.
It sounds a little odd for a professor in the I'hiladcl
pliia High School to take a stand against the teaching o
music as a compulsory study. lie does not oppose it al
together, but would make it elective. This is a concess
ion to the sentiment which prevails pretty generally in sc
many communities, that music is more of an accomplish'
went than anything else. There are many pei.-ons wh<
seem unable to appreciate the fact thai it' is one of tlu
most educating and refining forces iu the world. Mu-ical
talent is not always spontaneous, as some people think. It
can often be cultivated and called out where it is latent,
ami even unsuspected. \\ herevcr enforced musical train
ing in the public sbhools prevails for any length of time
the result promptly makes itself seen and felt in social life,
in the churches and, indeed, everywhere.
A CONTEMPORARY'S IDEA.
I lie enterprising "Erie Daily Times" proposes 1
to rebuke Governor Pennypacker for his unjust at- j
titiulc toward the newspapers in a most effective
way. "Governor Pennypaeker has thrown down
the gauntlet, 1 our esteemed contemporary declares,
"and evidently not a single recognized leader of the
Mate has lunl the courage to say a word in defenco
of the newspapers that have been il> i <r most of
their work for many years." Under the circum
stances, the esteemed "Times'' declares that it
thinks "it is time for the newspaper fraternity to
get together and make the issue once and for all."
Our contemporary would make a Governor out
of a distinguished newspaper editor. It would select
for the service "a high-toned, fearless citizen of
Pennsylvania who is as true as steel and who knows
the needs of the State." It would place in the
office "a broad-minded citizen, instead of one who
is so narrow that he cannot see beyond his own lit
tle, narrow self." It believes, moreover, that "the
newspaper profession has such men, plenty of
them. In proof of its proposition it names as its
choice for the occasion "the lion. Charles Emory
Smith, of the Philadelphia "Press," who it adds
finally, "would tower head and shoulders above any
Governor that has filled the Gubernatorial chair
since the days of Andrew Curtin."
Mr. Smith is a good man, but we have had
several able Governors since the Chief Magistrate
of the war period, so that there is no necessity for
invidious comparisons. There was Henry M. Iloyt,
for example, and Robert E. Pattison, one of each
party, and few men tower over them. Besides,
Mr. Smith's mental view doesn't extend so far or
spread out so wide as to make him tolerate in others
what he commends in himself. For example, he
never can excuse what he calls ballot frauds in the
South though he encourages far greater frauds in
Philadelphia. He is a strong man, no doubt, and
has performed good public service. Rut he isn't as
broad as the universe.
THE EASIEST THING TO FIND-
The only thing that can eaisly bo found where
it does not exist is fault. That is, you can easily
find it in others, But in yourself, though you be
blackened with it, you can't see it so easily.
If the other fellow has a fault—and sometimes
if be hasn't—you are quick to perceive it.
You incessantly find fault with the weather. It
is either too warm or too cold, too wet or too dry,
too sunny or too cloudy, and you have a good deal
to say about it.
And the times never suit you. It's either hard
times, or else some other people are making too
much money by the methods you don't know any
thing about and so don't approve. Deep in your
subconsciousness you are quite sure that money
making which you can't comprehend and can't imi
tate can't be honest.
And the Government is all wrong too, in your
opinion. As a matter of fact, you may confess to
yourself that you are unable to vote with real dis
crimination for county sheriff, but you do think you
know all about running the National Government
and sottling all international differences.
You may bo loudly preaching for world-wide
peace, when you can't get along amicably with your
own wife. You may not be able successfully to
run a little corner grocery, but you think you know
all about regulating the big trusts. You don't
know what are the elements of failure in your own
business affairs, but you think you know just ex
actly what are the faults of the great railroads.
The trouble with you is easily diagnosed. It
is one of the most common disorders under the sun.
You are "far-sighted" in your mental vision. Yon
see only the things that are beyond the reach ol
your hands and are blind to those that lie about
you. You sec the faults of the other fellow, but
not your own.
A BAD HABIT.
The world is full of bitterness and strife.
Scarcely a day passes but you are compelled tc
listen to a bitter arraignment of this movement, 01
a frenzied attack upon that person. Judgment oi
another's motive, or rather misjudgment of the
same, has been brought down to a fine art—the art
of wilful misconstruction and sinful deductions. Tc
misconstrue wilfully and deduce falselly regarding
the motive of another, is to engage in the black art
of the villifior and slanderer. The Christ said al
one time to his diciples that whenever and wherevei
two or more of them should meet in His name. lie
would be in their midst. But if the Saviour ol
mankind has promised to sanctify with His hol\
presence those who hold counsel in His name, the
anti-Christ and arch enemy of man, the devil, musl
bo glorified in maligant jov to find that many, toe
many, so called Christians care little for the pre.
cepts of Ilim who came to teach the gospel of peace,
purity, and piety. For is it not a fact, borne out
and proved by your own experience, that often, toe
often, the conversations carried e>n at informal
councils of friends and associates lack of edifieatior
and smack of dettement-defilement of another's name
and fame ; And this is elone flippantly, carolessh
and ceaselessly in the face of, and in spite of the
elivine injunction. "Juelge not lest ye aiso be
judged." It is done by legions who have been bori
e>f Christian parents, reared in Christian homes ai e
taught in the sche>ols of a Christian nation. Despite
this birth anel education the black art of elefamatioi
is defiantly and insolently practiceel by leigons oj
professed and seif-confesscd Christians. And the
parable of the wolf in sheep's clothing has anothei
apt, anel not too far fetched, application.
COLLEGE GIRLS AND MOTHERHOOD
The scolding which Prof. G. Stanley Hall has
just administereel to college-bred spinsters in an ad
dress at Baltimore rests upon the assumption that e
great body of gentle graduates has eleliberately pre
ferreel singleness and culture to marriage and ma
ternity.
This is a curiously generalizing proposition te
come freim so observant a scientist as the author oi
"Adolescence." It is to be feared that the burden
of proof will bo found a trifle heavy if the preifessoi
shall decide not te> dodge it.
Indeed, the whole case of the higher education
versus motherhood is so largely theoretical that it
is a rash advocate who takes it up with assertive
ness. Dr. Mary Roberts Smith made a severe im
pression upon one phase of it in 1900 by citing from
equal walks in life the instances of more than 70C
wives nearly half of whom were college-taught.
The highly educated mothers had married 'two
years later, but had just as many and as fine chil
elren ns the others—and more of the children were
boys 112
As a matter of fact, the eventual solution of
the "race-suicide" issue will bo drawn not from con
sideration of what any woman has loarned at school
but from observation anel direction of how the great
masses of people live. There is far more practical
philosophy in Mr. Phipps's moelel-tenement founda
tion than in Prof. Hall's scolding of college spin
sters. It is better to keep children from dying in
infancy than to rail because more babies are not
born into the world.

Paris, Jan. 14.—The weekly

i i tomusL today with a pai;e on
which appears a full length portrait
of Miss Alice Roosevelt, Mtirrouniled

witcb, tiie Czar's brother; Prince
Eitel Fritz of Prussia. Prince Gustav

son of the French President.
There is a sketch of each, and under
the portrait of the daughter of tlie

saying the American papers have told
that Miss Roosevelt dreamed she was
surrounded by European princes and
was forced to make a choice of one of
them as her liance.

Thousands of Rats in Prison.
Rats by tho hundreds and by tlie
thousands have found a hippy homo
in tho Suubury j:»il tor many genera- I
tious, but now their sweet seclusion s
disturbed by tho rudo hand of man. j
They have romped and roamed at wi'l j
through tho pisou corridors. In foud
imagination they have grown to re
gar 1 tho delightful recesses of that |
charming citadel as tlisir aucostul
hall-. Bui heartless and unpoetio mi n
hai soun led tl:o death knell of the 1
rodi ni s foudost dream.
Ueorgo Steelier, of Mount Caruinl.is i
tl.o invader. He is a cement contract- '
or. aud is laying concrete floors in tlio i
Northumberland county prison. Wood
ou floors that hive been luitouohe 1
since the j lil was built are being torn
up and replacod by tlie more modern j
material.
As the army of woikmon have pro
ceeded with tearing up the floors,
thousands of rats have been eucount- I
ered. The men have been killing them j
off as rapidly as possible, and in tho .
massacre material assistance has boen ;
rendered by a corps of competent dogs. |
On Tuesday of last week, according
to actu:il count, over throe thousand
rats were slain. Mr. Steoker and oth- j
er goutlemen of undoubted veracity
aro authority for this statement.
Tho merciless destruction of tho rats
may form the subject matter for ina- '
tuio contemplation. Tne long-tailed,
ebon-eyed, uoetiirual ranger iiad be
come a fixture at the jail, and overy
man or woman or child who has there
iu found a haven of rest will never '
permit fond remembrance to dwell up
on the delightful associations there
without expressing well wUlics for
tho little auimals who were such close
and oon>taut companions.
Long term guests at this summer aud
winter resort who have grown to re
gard conditions there as homelike will
find it an additional hardship to ac
custom thomselvos to a 1 ito without
rats. We cannot believe that the pris
on authorities have any warrant to
thus with impunity add puuishmeut
to tho life of tho prisoner. Perhaps
they have neglected to devoto to this
matter the due consideration it de
served.
Unhappy felon! No longer will he
awako during the long vigils of the
night, aud muse
"In the prison cell I sit.
Watching rodents as they flit;
Joy is mine iu this old jail,
Squiiitiug at my pet rat's tail."
Change in Temperature.
The change in the temperature yes
terday was very satisfactory to tho
residents of this section. When com
pared with that of tho previous week
it was spring-like.
The air was mild and balmy. At
noon tho thormometer iu front oft ie
Gillaspj House, registored 50 degrees
above zero. It was one of tho most <lo
lightful days of the season. Ice and
snow melted rapidly under the rays of
the warm sun shining fro n a clear and
unclouded sky. Iu places water ac
cumulated on tho streets, and at cer
taiu points crossings and thorough
fares became quite muddy.
As a result of tho change from cold
to warm r weather, tho river condi
tions wore greatly bettered. The ice
tloo was not so heavy as it had beeu,
consequently the launches crossed will)
far less difficulty aud danger. They
did a good business, and*he people of
Sooth Danville were letter satisfiid
with tho situation of afTlirs than they

jut weather coutinuts for it few days,
the water will become eutiie'y clear
of ice, and this crossing of bouts made
still easier.

THE NEW YORK WORLD,
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION
Read Wherever the English Language is Spoken.
THE THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD lias made special ar
rangements for the year 1905. Its already great news ser
vice lias been extended and, as heretofore, it will report all
important events promptly, accurately and impartially.
An original and striking feature of the THRICE-A
WEF.K WORLD in 1905 will be its serial publication of the
strongest and best fiction that has ever appeared in the
columns of any newspaper. The novels already arranged
for, and which are by writers known throughout the world,
are:
CARDIGAN*. R.v Robert W. Chambers.
A brilliant romance of the opening days of the Revolution, depicting
life 011 wlmt was then the border in the state of New York. Scenes with the
powerful tribes of the Six Nations, and a thrilling description of the Battle
of Lexington. Contains a love story, told with great force and charm.
BEFORE THE DAWN. R.v Joseph A. Altsheler.
A powerful story of the Civil War, describing the last days of the
Confederacy in Richmond, vividly depicting conditions as the world's great
est war was drawing to a close. Contains a strong love storv, and the
mighty struggle of Lee and Grant in the wilderness passes through its pages.
THE REDS OF TIIE MIDI. By Felix Gras.
A story of the French Revolution, the greatest event in the history of
the modern world. A peasant boy who marches with the tremendous battal
ion of death, the Marseilles column, tells how they overthrew the French
monarchy and achieved the conquest of Europe. The love story is of singu
lar delicacy.
THE CARDINAL'S ROSE. By Van Tassel Sutphen.
This is the last touch in modernity. The hero wanders into a con
tinuous performance in New York City. He sees a scene in a biograph
which arouses his curiosity and which leads him into a remarkable series of
adventures in a remote part of the world and to the winning of the hand of
a princess.
THE RLAZHD TRAIL. By Stewart Eilward White.
Mr. White has opened an absolutely new field, and he is now perhaps
the most famous of all the younger American writers. This is a story of the
great northwestern logging camps, and tells how the character of a powerful
man of action was built up and how it was finally softened by the influence
of a woman's love.
In addition to these stories the THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD is in
negotiation for others equally as good.
THE THRICE-A-WEEK WORLD'S regular subscription price is
only SI.OO per year, and this pays for 156 papers. We offer this un

Every
Heart=Ache
Every pain in the breast, dif
ficult breathing', palpitation,
fluttering or dizzy spell means
that your heart is straining it
self m its effort to keep in
motion. This is dangerous.
Some sudden strain from over
exertion or excitement will
completely exhaust the nerves,
or rupture the walls or arteries
of the heart, and it will stop.
Relieve this terrible strain at
once with Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure. It invigorates and
strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, stimulates the
heart action, and relieves the
pain and misery.
Take no chances ; make your
heart strong and vigorous with
Dr. Miles' Ileart Cure.
"I suffered terribly with heart dis
ease. I have been treated by
difierent physicians for my trouble
without results. I went to a physi
cian in Memphis, who claimed that
I had dropsy of the heart. He put
t»>e X-ray on me, and in connection
with his medicine he came near mak-
Ing a finish of me. Some time beforo
this a Mr. \oung, of St. Louis, was
In our town. He saw my condition,
and recommended Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure to me. I gave it little attention
until my return from Memphis, when
I concluded to try it, and am pleased
to say three bottles cured me.
