The Library of the Lock Haven
State Normal School is well Se

the hooks are easily accessible.
The library rooms are said to be
handsomer than those of any other
school library in the state. The re

debates is due.in a large measure,
to the library. Write for the

The work of the Lock Haven
State Normal School is, primarily,
to prepare teachers for the public
schools. In this work it has been
eminently successful. Its grad

Wheeler's circus lias come and
gone, leaving behind the remem
brance of a great time to the average
youth. Most people have seen
better shows and we are positive
quite a number of Laportians very
recently witnessed an exhibition
of much poorer quality, and paid
nearly as much for it. Looked at
squarely it was a pretty good all
around two-ring circus containing
the full variety from the camel to
the peanut boy. One thing how
ever was a trilie disappointing: The
aeroplane instead of ascending as
was promised, made its debut from
the top of the tent to terra-firma
where it was laid to rest until its
hair raising manoeuvre in the next
town.
UaPorte 12; Ikrnice 5.
A game of base ball was played
between Laporte and Ik-mice on
Friday which' resulted in the
above score. The five scores of
the visiting team were due to a
little aerial trip taken by the home
toys. Otherwise the game was a
inoothly administered defeat.
About Political Bosses.
An army without a general to
plan the campaign and direct its
movements so that its members
will work in unison with one ac
cord lo achieve a common purpose,
would he 110 better than an armed
lnoh, and accomplish nothing hut
defeat. A political party without
leaders would bo as ineffective as
an army without a general.
There is an unreasonable preju
dice against the word "boss' as
applied in politics. In order to be
effective where a considerable num
ber of persons must work together
harmoniously in any kind of busi
ness. whether in mine, workshop,
mill or factory, one of them wheth
er he be called foreman, director,
overseer or proprietor, must of ne
cessitv be the" "boss." Even the
animals and insects have their
leaders.
Leaders of men are born and not
created l>y education, wealth or ac
cident, The man with superioi
natural abilities for the successful
management of public affairs, po
litical questions and party interests
will sooner or later become, by
common consent, a party leader
and it is 110 disparagement of his
usefulness to call him a "boss".
The editor of the "Review ol
Reviews" has injured the Republi
can party in Pennsylvania by rep
resenting Senator Penrose as a
greater boss than even the late M.
S. Quay. ITo says: "Mr.-Penrose
has become more masterful as the
manager of the Philadelphia and
state Republican Organizations
than was his former political pre
ceptor. .Matthew Stanley Quay.
This year's State Republican Con
vention was Mr. Penrose's very
own. The convention was in ses
sion only a little more than one
hour. Mr. Penrose had arranged
everything and his program halted
at no point. Nothing more per
fect in a mechanical way has ever
been seen in our politics."
That Harrisburg convention was
composed of several hundred dele
gates coining directly from the peo
ple in the counties, and in every
instance they wore intelligent,
practical men and not fools. Does
any man believe that Senator Pen
rose could have run that convention
in any other way than in accord
ance with t lie views and wishes of
the delegates? If the Senator
wrote the platform (as the editor
alleges) it was because the conven
tion knew he was the most capable
person to do it. It was adopted
unanimously because every mem
ber believed it to lie true as Holy
Writ, and that it expressed their
views exact ly.
After criticising Senator Penrose
for writing it himself the editor is
honest enough to say of the plat
form: "It is fairly true too." He
might as well blame Washington
for leading the American armies in
the Revolutionary war, or Grant
the Union armies in the ciivl war,
as Senator Penrose for leading the
Republican party in Pennsylvania.
0 You Married Man ! !
To prove that they are yet super
ior to the boys in the art of base
ball. the married men 011 Saturday
coaxed them to the athletic Held
and in a way that distinguishes the
head of the house applied a sound
trouncing. The boys however hit
back quite hard and the interesting
game ended with the score f1 to 1.
Properly speaking the game
should be called: the "younger set"
versus the married men and the
"would lies", the latter team hav
ing the assistance of that celebrated
Jersey battery. Following are the
names of the players:
Married, etc.: S. Pen nock, K.
Carpenter, Cheney, C. Pennock,
Frey. Wrede. Uertolet, Jlassen,
Ingham. Single: Swartz, (J. Car
penter, McMann. VanDyke, Guest,
Rosenberg, Minniger, Lawrenson,
11. Carpenter.
The game was full of features
one of the best of which was the
stealing of bases by Hnsson. E.
P. Ingham umpired the game.

TIIK Y(>rN(i MAN FROM \VYOMIn<J. (Continued fioin page 'J.)
away.
"The soldiers were mustered; the drums were beating and
the fifes playing, and the banner flying, as my father at the
head of a company marched away. I could not restrain my
sobs, and I found mother was keeping me company as she
hugged me to her bosom. We returned sadly to what now
seemed our lonely home.
"Mother had to hire a man to help do the work on the
farm. We called him a 'hired man,' but he could not do half
a man's work, and his compensation was but little more than
his board, lie was quite an old man, and had been so afflicted
with rheumatism that one arm was stiff. I do not think it
would have been possible to find an able-bodied young man
that could have been hired for farm labor, so closely had the
recruiting officers searched for soldieys.
"Letters came occasionally from father, which mother
eagerly read, first to herself and then to 'Cretia and me aloud.
There was a great deal about long marches and poor rations,
and scanty clothing and slow pay; and once in awhile he would
write about a battle in which the 'red-coats,' as he called
them, got the worst of it. He often wrote to mother to keep
good courage, 'for the Yankees will beat the , I'rjtish in the
end.'
" 'Cretia, being a couple of year solder than I was, and a
smart, active lass helped mother a great deal, and could even
plant corn and rake hay. She often sent for Mattie Orrison
to come and work with her in the field or in the garden, and
would return the favor by helping .Mattie when called upon.
Thev called it 'changing works.' Mattie's given name was
Martha. Her mother was a widow, generally called 'Widow
()rrison,' and resided on a farm adjoining ours.

A Williainsport, & North Branch
passenger tr:iin on the way to Malls
with a crowd ol Sunday travelers
from-.Eagles Mere was lassoed by
a trailing telephone wire Sunday
evening. When the engineer found
that his train was entangled in tin
wires he brought it to a standstill so
swiftly that many passengers
thought that the train was wrecked.
All were shaken up. The wires
caught on the top of a coach and
before the train came to a halt one
pole was dragged down and the line
otherwise damaged. The train
crew cleared the track of the broken
and trailing wires and the unseated
pole.—Towanda Keview. '

[ShortTalks On Advertising
| By Charles Austin Bates.
No. 13.
Economy often defeats its own ends. Sometimes economy is
extravagant. Sometimes not spending is more expensive than
spending.
So in advertising. That is an economical expense. I call it an
expense to avoid argument. In reality it is an investment.
In a ten-dollar advertisement the last two dollars pay better than
the other eight. Maybe an eight-dollar ad. wouldn't pay when a
ten-dollar ad. would. Maybe that extra
space is just what the ad. needs to lift
it out of oblivion—to make it promi
nent —to make it pay.
ootfT our Don't buy more space than yon
Moac Atyce , need, but don't buy too little, either.
.THAN YOU MCCD. T Better buy too much than too little.
I Better put an eight-dollar ad. in a ten
dollar space than to put a ten-dollar
ad. in an eight-dollar space. One way
you are out only two dollars; the other
way you are out eight dollars.
Save money on your advertising if
you can, of course, but save it in the right way. Cut of! the little
leaks—the programs, the bills of fare, the directories, the wall charts,
the pages in "souvenirs." Cut them all off, and your trade will
never feel the difference.
Cut off the inconsequential papers if you have to, but always
keep your ad. in your best papers, big enough to'do you justice. It
is better to convince a few people than to talk to many.
You will always find that the best papers give you more for your
money than any other media.
