USEFUL
CITIZENS.
It is well known that long-con
tinued employment in the service
of others often cripples orginality
mid individuality. That resource
fulness and inventiveness which
come from perpetual stretching
of the mind to meet emergeroies.
or from adjustment of means to
ends, is seldom developed to its
utmost in those who work for
others. There is not the same
compelling motive to expand, to
reach out, to take risks or to plan
for oneself, when tho programme
is made for him by another.
Our self-made men, who refus
ed to remain employes or subord
inates, are the backbone of the
nation. They are the sinews of
our country's life. They got
their power as tho northern oak
gets itsstrength, by fighting every
inch of its way up from the acorn
with storm nn<l tempest. It is
tha hard schooling that the self
made man gets in his struggles to
elevate and make a place for him
self in tho world that develops
him.
Some employes havo'a pride in
working for a great institution.
Their identity with it pleases
them. Ilut isn't even a small
business of your own, which gives
freedom and scope to develop
your individuality, and to be
yourself, letter than being a per
petual clerk in a large institution,
where you are merely one cog in
a wheel of a vast machine (
The sense of personal responsi
bility is, in itself, a preat educa
tor, a powerful schoolmaster
Sometimes young women who
have been brought up in luxury,
and who ha\e known nothing of
work, when suddenly thrown up
on their own resources by the loss
of property, or compelled even to
support their once wealthy par
ents, develop remarkable Strength
and personal power. Young men,
too, sometimes surprise every
body when suddenly left to carry
on their father's business unaided.
They develop force and power
which no one dreamed they pos
sessed.
We never know what we can
do until we arc put to the test by
some great emergency or tre
mendous responsibility. When we
feel that we are cut off from out
side resources and must depend
absolutely upon ourselves wo can
fight with all the force of despe
ration.
The trouble with working for
others is the cramping of the in
j '11i!• t„ i, „112

and progressive lines— because
fear of making a mistake and up
prehension lest we take too great
risks uro constantly hampering
the executive, the creative, tho
original faculties.
GUESSING AND
PREDICTING,
A correspondent who protests that
ho is not a scientist, but who invites
scientific criticism of his statements,
writes to the New York "Herald"
calling attention to the recorded hap
pening of caithquakes at points upon
the opposite side of the earth from
volcanic disturbances and eruptions,
lie says that shortly before the
Charleston quake violent upheavals
took place in Greece and China, and
he adds that while Vesuvius was mak
ing such a disturbance lately, he
wrote to some friends that he looked
for a great earthquake on our Pacific
coast in the neighborhood of San
Francisco. This he guessed because
a straight line from the crater of
Vesuvius through the centre of the
earth would come out near the Queen
City, and he had noted a similar dir
ect action of the volcanic forces in
other cases.
This is curiously interesting but
hardly convincing, for it is not recall
ed that the terrible volcanic outbreak
in Martinique, or the devastating
earthquakes in New Zealand a few
years ago, were accompanied, or close
ly followed, by disturbances of the
sort 011 the opposite side of the earth.
It may be well worthwhile, neverthe
less, to invite scientific attention to all
such statements and suggestions, for
the scientists themselves are evidently
quite in the dark as to quakes and
keen observation and study offer the
only hope of useful enlightenment.
It may well he that t'..ere is some
such earthwide recoil of expanding
forces, directly manifest where the
crust itself is volcanic or weak and
diverted or returbed where it is
strong.
—THERE is one thing that trout
fishermen should distinctly under
stand. That is there are uo snakes
out at this time of year and consequ
ently no necessity for taking bait in a
battle.
— OF course everybody has a right
to lie a little about his catch but it's
a good deal safer to exaggerate the
length of the one that got away than
the one that is within reach of the foot
rule
—THE opposition will know that
the Democratic party is in the game
this year. Chairman Donnelly of the
Democratic State committee is not
only a sure and hard hitter but he
"fields" his position admirably.
—PENNSYLVANIA Democracy has
declared Charles P. Donnelly, of
I'hilanelphia, its new chairman. Mr.
Donnelly is one of the prominent re
formers of the city of Brotherly Love,
and enters upon his task a capable
and experienced man, aud will do
much good if he exercises both these
qualities that marked his career in
that city's campaign last fall.
— A LIST of names of good men as
candidates for the various offices to be
named at the approaching primaries,
are now to be founed in our announce
ment column. Hon. John G. Har
inan for President Judge and Mr. J.
('. Foust, for Registrar and Recorder,
were added hjst week, and Hon. John
G. McHenry for Congress and Mich
ael Breckbill for sheriff were early an
nouncers for this issue.
— AT a meeting of the Democratic
state central committee held in Har
risbifrg last week Charles P. Donnelly
of Philadelphia, was elected chairman
for the ensuing year, J. P. K. Hall,
of Ridgway, declining to accept
another term. Wednesday, June
27th, was selected as the date for
holding the state convention aud Har
risburg the place. Following his elec
tion Chairman Donnelly re-appointed
P. Gray Meek, of Bellefonte, as sec
retary.
Mr. McHenry for Congress.
Every voter in this Congressional
district will be interested in the an
uouncement, elsewhere in this issue,
of John G. McHenry of Benton, as a
candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion for Congress. Mr. McHenry is
admirably equipped for the service.
With a large experience in business
his attainments are of the broad and
liberal sort that are required for effici
ent services in the public life of the
country. This district with its vast
and varied interests needs such a man
to represent it in the National legisla
ture and the people are fortunate that
Mr. McHenry has consented to under
take the work.
It is universally admitted that the
best training for public service is ac
quired in business life. It not only
guides the mind into practical channels
but it broadens the intellect and de
velnp s ideas. The business man who
is in constant contact with men of af
fairs acquires an understanding of the
wants, not a class, but of all, which
is essential to acceptible public ser
vice. Mr. McHenry has had this ad
vantage and hug used it to the best
purpose. He is not only familiar
will every public interest in the dis
trict but knows exactly how to pro
mote the interest of each.
But Mr. McHenry has not spent all
bis life in the counting room or given
all his study to the ledger. He is a
careful student of the science of gov
ernment and is master of the intricate
question of taxation. Probably no
subject so directly concerns the wel- j
fare of the citizen. A celebrated I
statesman has said that most of the
evils of government are ascribable to
unjust taxation. What he meant,
probably, is that unscientific taxation
is the dominant evil of government.
That being true the importance of a
thorough knowledge of taxation on '
the part of a Representative in Con-1
gress is obvious and Mr. McHenry is
thus qualified.

Special Notice.
To The Voters of Moutour County:—
I beg herewith to announce my
candidacy for the office of President
Judge of this District. Realizing the
importance and dignity of the office
to which I ssp're. It is my intention
and purpose to conduct a campaign
which shall be free from criticism, to
the end; that if honored by election I
may assume the office unbiased, un
prejudiced, aud free to do right as I
see it.
Being a stranger to many of you it
may not be improper for me to say at
this time that I jun a native of
Bloomsburg, with twelve years active
practice at the Columbia county bar.
Six years of this I spent in the office
of District Attorney of my couuty,
a id two years I have represented my
county in the Legislature, having
been nominated by my party without,
opposition. I am, aud have always
been a democrat; serving my party
locally aud throughout the State on
the platform and in convention. Dur
ing the course of the campaign I shall
make an earnest effort to see the
voters, and personally solicit their
support. Asking favorable considera
tion at your hands, I am
Siucerely your,
John G. Ilarnian.

The story is now put forth that
Senator Penrose, in order to avoid
any appearance of bossing, will not be
present at the Republican state con
vention but will go out West on a
hunting trip at the time.
That would be very gracious on
Penrose's part, especially as his priv
ate secretary is state chairman and
would have all the machinery as well
in hand with Penrose in Idaho or
Timbuctoo as if Penrose were on deck
at the Lochiel or the Boas Mansion.
Because the Republicans of Penn
sylvania have had the wool pulled
over their eyes many times by a
machine show of reform in extremity,
it does not follow that they are going
to be fooled again; certainly uot this
year.
Anyhow, it matters little whom the
machine shall name; the next Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania is going to be a
Democrat.

A SILVER BRIDGE.
Qb*lu( Ceremony That Com With ■
Hnauinnlnii Wedding.
At Roumanian weddings It Is tlie cus
tom at the wedding feast for the
groom to receive Ills brldo over a
bridge of silver.
Coins are placed In a double row
across the table, and over tills the
bride daintily steps to her husband's
waiting arms.
The ceremony of laying the bridge Is
on® of the Interesting events of the
wedding foast following the religious
ceremony. When the guests are
brought to a proper spirit of festivity
by the good cheer at the board a space
at the head of the table 1s cleared and
from a bag are drawn sliver coins pro
cured for the purpose, the proper pro
vision being the protection of coins
fresli from the mint.
These are laid in a double row across
the table, and when all is ready the
father of the groom makes a speech to
his son, admonishing him to 6ee that
his bride's way through life is always
paved with silver.
A proper response is made, and,
mounting a chair, the elder man swings
the bride lightly to the table. Carefully
a voiding the displacing of a coin (for
that would mean bad luck) the girl
makes her way across the short silrer
pathway and leaps into the arms of her
spouse.
At wedding feasts where ostentation
Is desired the bridge Is built lengthwise
of the table.

WHEN BETTY
SULKED
i
By DONALD ALLEN \
Copyright, IVOS, by P. C. Eaatment
"Look a-liere, Betty Spooner, I should
like to know what on earth has ailed
you for the last two weeks. You've
gone around actin' as sulky as a coon
with a sore foot, and you've got me'n 1
father so upset we don't know what's 1
goin' to happen." i
It was the wife of Farmer Spooner |
and the mother of the eighteen-year-old j
Betty who spoke as above one morning
while she was washing the dishes and
Betty stood with her back to her in the
open kitchen door. I
"Two weeks ago," continued the
mother, as she wiped a yellow platler,
"you was singin' around and walkin'
on your toes and plannln' what was I
goin* to happen when you and Reuben I
got married. Then all to once you be
gin to sulk, and from that time on no- I
body's been able to say whether you
had the toothache or the heartache, j
It's my opinion that that barbed wire j
fence man who stayed here overnight j

uud bad so much gab to him brought
about the change. I want to know
what's the matter."
"Nothing," replied Betty.
"I know better. In the fir-t place,
that fool of a fence man praised your
hands and feet and eyes and got you
stuck on yourself. In the next, you had
a quarrel with Reuben and hain't spoke
to him since. In the third, If you don't
stop worryin' me'n pa and all the rest
I shall forget how old you are and box
your ears. Most girls when in trouble
of any sort come to their mothers for
advice. You've kept right away from
me instead, and so I can't tell what's
on your mind. Have you broken out
with a rash or anything?"
"Of course not."
"Got a boll?"
"No."
"Pains or aches anywhere?"
"No."
"Ilave pa or I said anything to hurt
your feelin's?"
"Not at all. It's Just thqt I—l don't
feel like singing and cutting up."
"Oh, I see," observed the mother as
she finished the |ast plate and hung up
the dish towel to dry. "Well, I can tell
you one thing. If this keeps on much
longer you'll goto bed and drink quarts
and quarts of lobelia tea and have
horseradish drafts put to your feet.

I shall expect you to make 'em."
Reuben Warner had been Farmer
Spooner's hired mau for a year. He
was a young rann of twenty-two and
was always referred to as being as
I smart as a whip. He waq a go ahead
I fellow, with a hundred dollars save<J
up, and he and Betty had been in iove
almost from first sight. Outside of an
occasional tiff the course of trup love
had run smooth nut}} the barbed wire
fence man apprr.ted. He was a good
talker and a boaster and a braggart.
He told of war, battles and personal
adventures until ltpubep sat with his
mouth open and Betty looked upon him
as oue of the heroes of -the earth. His
stay was ouly for the night, and Betty
might have forgotten him by uoou next
day but for Reuben. Ilis jealousy had
been excited, and next morning he had
something to say about burglars and
liars. Betty fplt pa i led upoty tq take Jhe

eyes to tile brightest of stars, and It
didn't take long to bring about a row.
"If you were only half as brave and
chivalrous as he is I should be proud of
you," announced Betty.
"If I could lie once while he does ten
times I could make you believe bees
wax was honey," replied Reuben.
"You are Jealous."
"And you are foolish."
"M.. Wauner!"
"Miss Spooner!"
That was the way It began, and of
course tilings grew worse instead of
better. Betty knew that her mother
would support Iteuben In saying that
she was silly, and so she withheld her
confidence, but at the same time she
had something of a contempt for her
fiance when she remembered that the
only adventure of Ills life was In being
run over by a yoke of oxen. Iteuben
went about trying to whistle nifd slug
and make out that he did not care,
while Betty was so quiet that her
mother had cause to charge her with
sulking. She made the apple dump
lings that day, aud she helped wipe the
dlfiiier dishes and get a custard un lor
way for supper, but after that she
wwit off down to the barn to be alone
and think.
The mow had been filled with new
liay, anil she climbed a ladder aud
found a nest back against the end of
Iho barn. There lu the semi-twlllght she
Dot only thought all kinds of thoughts,
mostly about Reuben, but sometimes
Ihe sighed and sometimes she gritted
lier teeth. In this way she succeeded In
getting tip considerable emotion and
lu tiring herself out, and by and by she
fell asleep. One of her last thoughts
was that Reuben was no chevalier, but
Duly an old poke who would live autl
ille without even falliug down a well.
When she awoke It was dark, and
there was a grumbling of voices on the
(loor below ber.
Miss Betty had sulked and slept for
liours. When she did not appear at the
supper table she was supposed to be at
a neighbor's, aud night fell without
anybody being alarmed about her. At
i o'clock Reuben started out to see her
Ijonie, but stopped first at the barn to
see to the horses, Ten minutes before
lie left the house the girl on the hay
mow carefully dragged herself for
ward until she could hear what was
lieincr said below, and she soon made
out that a gang of four or five tramps
had slipped Into the barn and was plot
ting robbery,
Her heart began to beat in a way to
choke her, and she couldn't have cried
out to save her life. She heard Reu
ben shut (lie kitclipn door after him
whistle as he came down the path, and
she heard the tramps getting mady to
attack him as he opened the door. It
was only when the door swung open
and a match was struck to light a lan
tern that Betty rolled over and over og
the hay and managed tq shriek out:
"Oh, Reuben, look out} There are
robbers here J"
There was a rush for the hired man.
There were shouts and oaths and blows
from below and screams and shrieks
calls for help from above, but the
battle was over before Farmer Spoon
er and his wife got there. Reuben had
found a neck yoke at hand and gone
into break heads, and five tramps who
had thought to find him an easy prey
had gone down under his rain of blows
and were doing a good deal of groaning
and begging.
"Land o' i..as-y, what was It?" asked
the /ariner and his wifo in chorus.
"I—l guefls getty's tfp replied
I Reuben as he looked upward.
I "Y-yes, I'm here," humbly replied the
girl.
"And what have you been doin' up
1 there?" asked the mother.
"Getting over the sulks."
"And have you got over 'em?"
"I guess so."
"Then you come down here and quit
actin' like a gosllu'. That fence man
may have captured fifteen cannons in
the last war, as he bragged about, but
lieuben has licked Ave monstrous big
tramps without goin' away from home
or rurtlin' up his hair. If that don't
make him oue o' them shevaliers you
are always talkin' about then I don't

„ Dry Wnter.
"It Las been ho wet for the last thref
or four years," remarked Truthful
James, "that a good many people have
forgot how dry it used to be. I remem
ber one year when the Missouri rivei
was dusty all the way down from Kan
sas City to the Mississippi. Of course
the river was runuing all the while,
but the water In it got so dry that it
turned to dust and blew away. I took
a boat down the river at that time, but
It was so dusty 011 the boat that you
couldn't see the lilud end of -it when
you was standing on the front end. It
was a little the worst I ever see. My
mouth got so much grit and dust in it
that 1 could strike a match on the roof
of it any time. One day the boat got
stuck in tlfteou foot of Missouri river
water. It was so dry and dusty that
the wheel couldn't turn. What did we
do? Well, sir, we went out and hired
a farmer to haul fresh well water for
llfteen miles to mix with the river wa
ter until it was thin euough to ruu the

The name ."Omaha" bears testimony
to the long Journey of the people and
reveals some of tho causes which
brought about this breaking up Into
distinct tribes. It Is composed of two
words, which signify "going against
the current," or up the stream. Tho
Omahas were tho peoplo who went up
the stream, while the Quapaws, their
near of kin, went, as their name re
veals. "with the current," or down the
Btreaui. The traditions of both these
peoples say that the parting occurred
during a bunting expedition, each divi
sion finally settling In the lands whith
er they had wandered apart. This
epochal hunt must have been centuries
ago, for the Quapaws bore their de
scriptive name In l."l-jO, being men
tioned in the Portuguese narrative of
De Soto's expedition as then living 011
the Arkansas river, where they dwelt
until 1830, when they ceded thjjjr long
occupied lands to the United States.

"My new play is sure to make a hit,"

Talents,
As to the great and commanding tal

In some way unknown to us. They rise
where they are least expected. They
fall when everything seems dispose ! to
produce them, or at least to call them
