RESOLUTE
CHEERFULNESS.
HE tendencies of modern Ameri
Vr can life are toward the mercu
rial disposition —w(jich responds t
conditions of weather, business, fain
ily or social happiuess, health or sue
cess ; going up as these are favorabl
and down as they are adverse. Wliei
Dickens over sixty years ago mad
his character of .Murk Tapley pre
verbial for cheerfulness under th
most disheartening conditions, bot
English and American rentiers laugli
etl in recognition of a type which wa
native anil spontaneously so iu bot
countries. It is not so today in ill
United Slates, though the Englisl
have changed less in this respect thai
we have. The type of the irrepra
sibly cheerful American of the Twcu
tieth century is the Cheerful Idiot ti
the humorist, who irritates and dis
gusts a public from which spoutan
ejus fun has departed, apparently fo
good.
We live too strenuously iu thi
country at present to give ourselve
up to ir.rth !' any of its uuforcei
form-' Wc are pursuing our work to
resolutely, whether it be the work u
making money, gaining position o
influence, acquiring education or cul
ture or amusing ourselves, to havi
much energy left unused to bubble oil
unchecked and unbidden from ou
p trsonal resources. If we are to b
eluerful, rather than mercu rial ly u
an I dowu with changing conditions
it must be by rule and resolution.
The Intelligencer says this with re
gret. We wish that all the element
of American life were mixed will
moderation, so that a natural and uu
m inipulated gaiety gushed out o
every American heart. We wisl
that the strain of the competition w
are under left an unusual daily bal
aace to lie drawn upon without liini
ami to show itself in old-fashiouet
light-hearted ness. But we-a re passim
through a period in our national de
velopment when this is foreign to us
ami it only remains for good Amari
cms to do the best they can to brinj
to pass a better state of a Hairs.
in the absence of spontaneous gooi
humor it is better to have rcsoluti
cheerfulness than none at all. A1
experience shows that those who wil
can cultivate the habit of taking i
hopeful and happy view of life,
When nothing better is attainable,
this is certainly to be desired rathci
than a surrender to alternating de
prjssion and elevation of spirits. At
evenly happy temper is the next besl
thing to one of unquenchable gout]
c'icer.
—-Tim old Grove cemetery still
blossoms as the rose iu our midst.
Like the poor, it can be said, the
dead will always lie with us. It is a
hard thing to remove the poor, for tin
greater majority of us are poor, bill
the living number many times the
deael in our city, and we think that
it would require the exertions of only
a few of our live living to tlo some
thing in the way of removing those
• lead and liuried iu our city's very
centre. Keep the city in its present
progressive state. Add attractions
and remove ungainly sights from us.
The old burying ground is positively
disgraceful to a city like Danville,
with all her other modern improve
ments.
DANVILLE'S Board of Health is
a quiet, unassuming organization,
tint possesses the modesty of a Togo
but lacks the valor of this gallant
heor. It dislikes the scrutiny of the
public and trembles lest the press
may say something of the good it
does, but this is not a good reason
for it working so secretly and showing
no results. There is plenty of cause
for inspection of some of our First
Ward back yards, that may lead to
aud preserve the good health eit our
citizens.

While on a visit to Steelton 011 Snmtaj

Mark, the eldest son, has forged aheai
and is quite a popular resident of tlia
city. He has a handsome residence
which he erected to his own good taste
in the most beautiful part of the place
and holds the office of tax collecto
there. The faflier died about three year
ago ; also his daughter Carrie near th
same time. The rest of the family ar
all married except Norman (Tiinmy)
who is a big, stout, robust young ma
and quite a foot-hall player. They ar
all located in that locality but Charlt

who resides in Centre county. Mi
Mumma was pastor of the I.uthera

An Interesting Proposition.
In another column of this papei
appears an advertisement directed t
hoys and girls who arc ambitious ti
make their spare moments productiv
through clean, pleasant and remuner
ative enterprise. Adams's Magaziu

tains departments 011 fashions, em
broidery, household hints, table dain
ties, flowers and plants, garden am
farm, beginning in the July uumbe
will be a serial story by oiie of tin
most noted and famous writers of ro
mantic fiction in the world. The sub
'scription price of the magazine is II
cents a year, half of which is offere<
to the boys and girls who become so
licitors. The publishers have set asid
$05,000 in order to introduce tin
magazine in every locality iu tin
United States, and it is by virtue 0
this appropriation that this liberal of

BORN FOR A LAWYER.
Why llin Mother Ileeonimended Illn
to Colonel lnucmoll.
Among the stories which Colonc
Bob Ingersoll delighted to tell wus tli<
following, says the writer of "Amer
lea's Most Popular Men:"
WLne studying law with a firm ou
west the colonel found himself alone li
the oUiee one day. He was Interrupter
by the entrance of a raw boned, sharj
featured country woman, who amblei
Into the room leading a freckle faced
watery eyed ten-year-old boy by tin
hand.
"Air you the lawyer?" she began.
Ou being answered in the atllrinatlv*
she went onto say that she hai
brought her boy Jim to towu for tin
purpose of binding him out at tin
"lawyerlu' trade." She was morallj
certain, she averred, that Jim was i
born lawyer and that all he needed was
a chance.
"But, madam," objected the colonel
"he Is entirely too young to begin tin
study of law."
"Too young, indeed!" sniffed the fond
mother contemptuously. "You don'l
know Jim. lie was born for a law
yer."
Much amused, the colonel asked hei
on what grounds she based her hopes
of a future at the bar for her darling
child.
"Why," said she, "when he was oulj
seven years old he struck work, and
he wouldn't do another lick if he got
killed for it. When he was eight he gol
sassy and put on more airs than o
prize horse at a country fair, and now
Lor* bless me, he Jest freezes on tc
every tiling he can lay his, hands on."
A Pair of Snuffer*.
Master Pryune, the Purltau, who In
1033 wrote an attack upon the stage,
tells us that In his day tobacco pipeu
were offered to ladles at the theater
In lieu of apples between the acts. A
French traveler, M. Torevln de Itoche
fort, who published his Journal In 1077.
confirms this by telling us that he
found smoklug a general custom lu
England, as well among women as
among men. Both sexes, he adds, held
that life without tobacco would be In
tolerable "because they say it dissi
pates the evil humors of the brain."
When ladles stopped smoking they
took to snuff. Women of quality about
u century ago would not stir without
their snuffboxes, beautiful enameled
receptacles of perfumed nildll rappee.
Lord Bollngbroke said of Queen Aune
and her grace of Marlborough: "The
nation Is governed by a pair of snuff
ers. No wonder the light of Its glory
Is extinguished!"
On the Sufe Side.
An old woman who persisted in bow
ing during church service whenever
the name of Satan was mentioned was
reprimanded by the minister for so
unseemly a habit. The reproof had,
however, no effect, and the minister
asked her finally in exasperation why
she thought it necessary to bow.
"Well," she replied, "civility costs
nothing, and you never know what will
happen."—ll arper's Week ly.

The Last
Word
By KJEITH GORDON
CopinHght, 19of», bti T. C. McLlure
"As if marriage were the ouly cud
and aim of a girl's life!" she threw off
scornfully. ller companion smoked
lmpcrturbably into the nlglit for sev
»ral seconds before replying. Always
lie had the air of one loath to break
u silence, one who had a constitutional
aversion to the futilities of speech.
But she was accustomed to that, even
whimsically attached to his deliberate
ways. At last he spoke. In the dark
ness she could see his face ouly as a
pale blur, but there was a suspicious
sweetness in his tone.
"All the little rippling, purling
brooks," he said slowly, "and all the
ordinary rivers, even the great ma
jestic streams, 'wind somewhere t.o the
sea.' And I'm sure it Isn't my fault,"
he added in an injured voice.
"Some rivers plunge underground
and lofio themselves," she argued
stubbornly.
"I said 'ordinary rivers,' " This with
laconic patience from the gloom.
A quick, tlashing smile touched her
lips and vanished as if frightened to
find itself out in the dark. She won
dered well, a number of things; as,
for Instance, what he was thinking of
at that very Instant, whether he had
ever really been In love and, if so,
what she was like, how deeply love
would stir him, whether—
She made a little Impatient move
ment to brush away the thoughts
which buzzed through her mind like
gnats, but still they hovered about,
scattered, but not dispersed. He was
one of the men a woman simply had
to think al>out—broad of shoulder and
cxasperatingly masculine, a sort of
unexplored country of mannishuess
that forever challenged. She drew a
sharp, piqued sigh. However much
the feminine mind paid tribute, he ap
parently preserved a Jove-like "calm.
Ruthlessly she prodded him again.
"But why hasn't a girl Just as good a
right to contemplate the Joys of bach
elorhood as a man?" she demanded.
"A man marries If he wants to, when
"WOULD YOU I'HOI'OSE TO A MAN IP -Eli—
YOU LOVBD HIM?"
he wants and, above all, because ho
wants to, while a girl—well, she gets
the idea that matrimony Is a refugo
from the wrath to come. If she doesn't
marry, she knows that her best friends
Will refer to her behind her back as an
•old maid' and thiuk of her as one of
life's failures. It isn't fair! Why
hasn't she Just us much of u right to
her slngleuess as u man?"
The dark mass in the opposite chair
seemed to be considering the question.
There was a movement, and the point
of light that marked his cigar shifted.
"She has," he said, with calm convic
tion, "only oue expects her to have too
much taste to exercise the rlghL"
There was a pause, and then He elabo
rated: "Being a woman, you see, dear
girl, is Just a trifle like being caught in (
a net. It is by no means the same
thing as being a man, and all the eman
cipation in the world can't really free
her. She is an entirely different be
ing, and I'm rather glad she Is!"
The girl was holding her breath, sho
scarcely knew why. Sprites, hand in
hand, seemed to be dancing along her
nerves and Ringing in tiny threadlike
voices that only she could hear: "And
I'm glad too! And I'm glad too!" It
took her*several moments to study the
sudden Joy; then she pursued the ar
gument calmly:
"But, no; surely you're not In earnest.
Surely you're not of the antiquated
school that believes, for Instance, that
a woman's brain Is of a different and,
of course, inferior caliber to man's."
There was a line disdain In her tone
notwithstanding the fact that her heart
was beating impatiently.
The man chuckled softly, for, truth
to tell, he was that very sort of crea
ture. Never had he been able to take
the organ uuder discussion seriously.
He admitted It now without reserve, ,
with a flue, large, Indulgent masculine ,
assurance.
"It's a wonderful little contrivance, (
the feminine brain," he concluded, "but
certainly It is different." |
Again In the darkness the mouselike
smile flashed out and back again, ac
companied tills time by an audible
sound that started as a snicker, but
was deftly turned into a sniff of s v>rn.
It wns the latter that the man ro"» '
ogi'iized and greeted witn an auiuseu
laugh. <
"Ever hear about the little buttercup
• that pined to be a daisy, or the r.»se
that swore It was a potato, and if it
wasn't it would be—there now?" In
quired the man, with bland curiosity.
Again the point of light shifted. He
had replaced the cigar lu his mouth
and settled a little more luxuriously in
. bis chair as if iu mere sybaritic enjoy
incnt of his extraordinary luck lu hav-
ing been born as he wus."
"Your Illustrations are beside the
facts." she retorted at last, with digni
ty. "I was not asserting that girls wish
fo be men!"
"Well, then"—his tone Implied au
amiable desire to please—"ever hear of
the little buttercup that Insisted that it
was a da my hi spite of uppearances and
the testimony of Its yellow petals?
Well, that's like the foolish little girls
who want to be Judged by man's stand
ard."
Two slender hands were clapped
noiselessly, but their enunciated
with some heat: "How would you like
to be a woman yourself aud be put up
on and—and snubbed aud forever
taunted with the fact of your inferlorl
ty? Oh, not in so many words," she
went on hurriedly, lest he should Inter
rupt her speech. "Not that, of course,
but by belug told that you couldn't un
derstand. being patronized, having al
lowances made—'Oh, well, she's ouly a
woman!' Just tell me, honor bright,
how would you like ItV"
The man chuckled. The vision of
himself In the predicament suggested
was not without its humorous side. The
figure of speech he had used a few min
utes earlier came back to him with a
new force, it was like being caught
uuder a net, though the meshes were
silken.
"Well?" she demanded, with a ring
of triumph iu her voice.
"I don't suppose I should like It,"he
admitted between puffs. "But that
d(»csu't prove anything, you know,"he
went on hastily. "That's because I'm
a man." Then, as an afterthought,
"When you're once used to belug a wo
man—er— I should think you might get
used to It—grow to like It. Man's good
angel, you know, aud all that!"
"But what If oue wearies of the role
of good angel—what If one longs to be
Just oneself? For my part, I dou't
see why man shouldn't be woman's
good angel for awhile—he's so stroug
and brave aud, al»ove all, superior!"
Her voice was deceptively mocking.
Being ouly a man, and a man in the
dark at that, he had no way of know
ing that her eyes were dancing mis
chievously and she was wondering If
he were horribly shocked. What he
did know, however, was that the voice,
with Its youthful, almost boyish treble,
was the sweetest In the world to him,
that he would rather be mocked and
flounted by those Hps than flattered by
any others. Still he had a point to
prove, and he tossed the dwindled ci
gar off into the bushes that flanked the
porch, squared his shoulders aggres
sively and demanded:
"Would you propose to a man if—
er—you loved him?"
Ills listener gasped. This was car
rying the war Into the enemy's country
with a vengeance. Propose to a man
she loved! Not for rubies and dia
monds—not for principalities and pow
ers! One might propose to a man one
didn't love, but to the man—never!
"No," came the answer in a voice
grown suddenly small and meek.
"And she talks about wanting a
man's rights!" he groaned to some in
visible persou. "And she hasn't tho
nerve to do a little thing like that.
My, oh, my!
"I'm afraid you'll have to stay lu the
good angel business awhile yet—until,
for instance, you can stand up and tell
a man you love him. I don't see any
other way."
There was a pause, Ift which he wait
ed for her to speak, but she said noth
ing. Theu he leaned -forward, and lu
the gloom she could see the shining of
his eyes. He, too, must have seen
some secret thing iu her face, fo", with
a laugh—soft, exultant—he took her
bands in his and pressed them ferveut
ly to his lips.
"You are such funny, helpless, ridic
ulously superior creatures," were her
last words upon the subject a little
later, "that I suppose It will have to ,
be—yes."

Influence of Salnte-Renre.
Salnte-Beuve is the foremost literary
critic of the nineteenth century in the
Influence he has exerted upon his fel
lows. In a very real sense Matthew
Arnold In England and Taino in
France are his disciples, or at least he
is their literary ancestor. They de
rive from him, and the doctrines they
1 have made explicit are often Implicit
In him. The part of Taine's critical
theory which has withstood the test of
time Is that which Talne acquired from
Salnte-Beuve, and not a few of the
points Arnold pressed insist
ently ou the attention of all who read
English he took over from his French
predecessor. There are no real critics
of literature of our time, from Mr. j
James In America to M. Brunetlere In
France, who have not come under his
gpell at some period of their own de
velopment and who have not sharpened
their own vision by a more or less de- s
liberate application of the methods j
of Salnte-Beuve.—Brauder Matthews in

Altitude and Voice.
Generally speaking, races living at
high altitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those living
1n regions where the supply of oxygen
Is more plentiful. Thus among the
Indians living on the plateau between

Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round—
where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where
animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold?
Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more
varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division
of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that
will assure you a competence ?
Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can
grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons,
olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure,
business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ?
Then goto California, where both health and opportunity await
your coming.
The Chicago, Union Pacific and
North-Western Line
is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two
fast through trains daily via this line, over the famous double
track railway between Chicago and the Missouri River.
Special low round-trip rates are in effect via this line
throughout the summer to various Pacific Coast points, and
colonist low rate one-way tickets will be on sale during Sep
tember and October, which give an unusual chance for settlers
to make the trip at a minimum of expense.
Daily and personally conducted excursions are operated through to San
Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland without change, on which a double
berth in a Pullman tourist sleeping car from Chicago costs only $7.00, via the
Chicago & North-Western, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railways.

Periodic
Pains.
Dr. Miles' Anti-rain Tills
are a most remarkable remedy
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick head
ache, or any of the distress
ing aches and pains that cause
women so much suffering.
As pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an ex- j
haustcd condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first in
dication of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no dis
agreeable after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
"For a long: time I have suffered
greatly with spells of backache, that
poem almost more than I can endure.
These attacks come on every month,
and last two or three days. I have
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I be- 1
began the use of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain i
Pils, and they always relieve me In a
short time. My sister, who suffers ,
the same way, has used them with .
tho s -mo r-sults." MRS. PARK. \
