Where there Is responsibility thero is growth. People who are never thrust into responsible positions never develop their real strength. This is one reason why it Is so rate to find very f-tronv men and women among those who have spect their lives in subordinate positions, iu the service of others They go through life compara tive weaklings because their pow ers have never been tested or de veloped by having great responsi bility thrust upon them. Their thinking has been done for them. They have simply cirriedout somebody else's program. They have never leerned to stand alone, to think for them selves, to act independently. because they have never been obliged 'o plan for themselves, they have never developed the best thing in them their power of originality, inventiveness, ini tiative, independence, self-reli ance, their possible grit and stam ina. The power to create, to make combinations, to meet emergen cies, the power which comes from continuous marshalling of one's forces to meet difficult situations, to adjust means to ends, that great crisis in the life of a nation, Is only developed by years of practical training under great re sponsioility. There is nothing more mislead ing than the philosophy that if there is anything in a youth it will come out. O. S. Marden. On Trial. A Scotchman stood beside the bed of his dying wife, nnd In tearful ac cents asked was there anything he could do for her.. "Yes, Sandle," she said; "I'm hop ing you'll bury me in Craeburn kirk yard." "But, my lass," he cried, "only think of the awful expense! Would ye no be comfortable here in Aberdeen?" "No, Sandle; I'd no rest In my grave unless I was burled in Craeburn." "It's too much you're askln'," said the loving husband, "and I cannot promise ye ony such thing." "Then, Sundle, I'll no give you ony peare until my bones are at rest in my native parish." "Ah, weel, Miiggle." said he, "I'll Just gle ye a three months' trial in Aberdeen, an' see how ye get along." Be Natural. First Porter. "Oee, dat man gib me a large tip." Second Porter. "Yep.

Her Pa Was a Planter. A Kentucky girl whose father was nn undertaker was sent to a fashion able New York boarding-house for a finishing term. One day one of the girls aBked what business her father was In, and, fearing she would lose caste if she told the truth, she care loswly answered: "Oh, my father'! a Boutborn planter." A Spark-Making Alloy. When 70 per cent, of cerium la al loyed with 30 per cent, of Iron, the metal thus produced possesses the re markable property of giving off a shower of sparks when struck lightly by a steel wheel. This substance has been employed for making auto-lgnlt-ers for gas-burners, miners' acetylene-lamps and cigar lighters. Re cently It has been proposed to utilize it for igniting motor headlights, and even as a substitute for electric igni tion in the cylinders. Doctor Brill has tried it, for the last-named purpose, but he finds that the efficacy of the al loy falls off with use. The cause of this loss of efficacy Is suspected to be the presence of oil and dust. "I Forbear to State." Every one will recall the orator who, while declaring that he wyi not mention this fact, nor make any refer ence to that one, contrives to Include both. The Kansas City Times gives an everyday Instance of the same way of at once avoiding and mention ing a subject "I rather pride myself on one thing," said the young father. "Al though I have the brlgbest, smartest, cutest, best youngster I ever saw, I never brag about bim." Time Measurement. Our measurement of time Into six ty minutes, each minute into sixty seconds, etc., comes from the ancient Babylonians. The system was handed on to the Greeks, and the distinguish ed philosopher, Hlpparchus, who lived about B. C. 150, Introduced the Baby lonian hour Into Europe. Pateny, lived and wrote about A. D. 150, gave still wider currency to the Babylon Ian way of reckoning time. The MmJ Oil for cither atr- Cooled or wster-cooled Ma chines.

Thirty-six years roll by, each bear lng Us burdens of sorrow and joy, nhen there comes to my ears the an nouncement of a picnic to be held in the grove near Well Tannery by the Ladles of the Golden Kagle. Oh, how my ears tingle with -the news! How my heart bounds with delight at the thought of beirg there! How recollec tion opens memory's store house of treasured thoughts and events so that down the dim vistas of these receding years I see the stage of long ago and the actors thereon, and determine to attend this 11)10 picnic. In company with Mr, .J. M. Sipe and daughter, I went to Hopewell by train and thence by surrey to Wells Tannery. The picnic was to be Sat urday, July 2.1, but, being anxious to be at the picnic In good time, we started Friday morning. Mr. Sipe and daughter spent the night with the formers sister, Mrs. Newton Edwards and I was entertained at the home of my cousin, James U. Horton. (Cherry Mm.) Saturday morning, at anhourwhich seemed very early to a city chap, I was informed that It was time to get up, if I wanted any breakfast. True to my early training, I obeyed prompt ly and thus began the day of the pic nic. From that moment until about ten o'clock, a. m., I saw some of the most unique and mysterious objects that have ever appeared on earth. I might have thought I was in Borneo, the wilds (if Africa, the jungles of In dia, or almost any other haunts of the "terrible terrors," if I had not been previously informed to prepare for the worst. Tho last two sentences refer to the fantastic parade which moved promptly at 9:30 a. m. the line of march being from Wells Tannery to the picnic grounds and return. This parade was a credit to all who took part in it and was greatly enjoyed by all who had the pleasure of witnessing it. I cannot describe this parade as it deserves to be because I did not know at the time that I was going to write this letter, but, being a lover ot music, I remember quite distinctly the orchestra composed of an organ rep resenting a calliope not so loud as Barnura and Bailey's; a violin possi bly used by Noah to quiet the snakes in the ark; an accordion played by the Norsemen when they landed on the cost of Labrador in the year 1001; a banjo used by the first negro brought from Africa to Virginia about 1020, and other instruments equally as ancient and out of tune. By way of explanation, I might re murk that these same instruments la ter in the day In the hands of the S prowl Orchestra and other good pluyers produced excellent music. Sprowl Orchestra rendered many se lections during the day, and evening, and the music was enjoyed by all present. In fact it so workad upon the emotions of one lady and two gentle mon that they were compelled for a few minutes to "skip the light fantas tic toe." The parade was really the opening feature of the picnic but hacks and conveyances each well-filled with hap py people came in continuous streams for sometime and it was estimated that over 600 people attended the pic nic. Everybody seemed to belong to the "smile club" and determined to make the day one long to be remembered. To me it was a day never to be for gotten. Hip VanWinkle bad been away twenty years, and we read with great Interest of his return; but what can anyone imagine it was to me, who had been away thirty-six years. Schoolmates, chums, and friends whom I had not seen in all these years are now past life's meridian, and have their faces turned toward the evening of life. It Beemed strange. Wo part ed as boys and girls; we met as "get-tlng-old" men and women. I never fully appreciated Hip's return until I attended this picnic. But I would not forget to remark that thirty-six yearns thins the ranks of the living, and many whom I had known in Wells Valley have crossed the level of time to that undiscovered country from whose limit no traveler ever returns. Space, time, and words fail to even hint at the commingled fueling of glad ness at the meeting, of joy at the greet ing, of lonllness for the absent, of sad ness at the parting, and the ever-shifting scenes of human life, that filled my mind and heart. I paused at one group of people to tind someone whom 1 had known, then at another, and still another, throughout the day, "and ev erybody seemed bent on making my visit a real pleasure. Wells Valley still maintains its record for hospitality, good 'people, and the large number of boys and girls who have gone out into the world to be good and do good unto others. And while many of the older inhabi tants have retired from active life, and yet a larger number have crossed the Jordan of life, still 1 am pleased to say that the present generation is tramping in the footsteps of their fathers so far as honesty aud morali ty are concerned and along education al Hues they are keeping pace with the progresstveuess of the timet. After some time spent In social chat and renewing old acquaintances, he assembly was called to order by Lady Templar, Mrs. Baumgardner and the following program, lulorgperced with excellent vocal and Instruments music, was presented: Prayer-Sir Knight J. M. Sipe, Sax ton. Address of Welcome Lady Temp lar Bessie Sprowl, Response Sir Knight J. M. Sipe. Paper 'The first Crusade and tha Principles of the K. G. E.,M Sir Knight John W. Gibson. The address of welcome wos well prepared and delivered in a pleasing and effectual manner It showed much care in its preparation and was full of warm hearted Words of welcome, and was an honor to Mrs. Sprowl. The response was extemporaneous and was In keeping with the speakers' reputa tion as one who speaks out of the fullness of his heart. Brother Sipe was in the home of his boyhood and spoke eloquently 'of those who- had been bis advisers and urged all pres ent to be faithful in the discharge of all life's duties. The paper on the "First Crusade, etc." showld that the speaker fully understood the meaning of the cru sades not only in their original sense but as applied to the Knights of the Golden Kagle. Brother Gibson's pa per should be read by every one that they might the more appreciate the brave Knights of old and learn the real meaning, of the K G. K. Noon having arrived, the remain der of the program was postponed un til the afternoon. It is beyond my )ower to describe the noon-day meal and the evening meal as well, but let it be known unto all that I and every body else did full justice to both meals and I have not been very hungry since. Some brought their food in wagons, some in buggies, and some in wheelbarrows, but all was equally good and plentiful, It is no exaggeration to say that at least two hundred more people could have been fed. But eat ing was not all. that the picknickers did, for the ice cream and pop stand took in $130 in good U. S. money, and the merry-go-round by Whitehead brothers was in full swing all the time except during the program. After everybody had eaten to his heart's con tent and his stomach's discontent, the program was completed. Sir Knight Geo. W. Alloway, principal of schools Youngstown, Ohio, was Introduced and spoke a few minutes relative to bis great pleasure in meeting so many former acquaintances and hoping to shake hands with everybody present. He s.ioke in a reminiscent way of his early days in the Valley and events connected therewith. He spoke of the great number of people who formerly lived in the Valley and who are now connected with.it by the tender cords of love and affection, and tried to im press all present with the thought of right living. I lev. Mr. Fleegle was present and made a few very appropriate remarks, expressing his pleasure at being per mitted to mingle with the people in their social gatherings and wishing that all might enjoy to the full tlie events of the day. The remainder of the day and even ing was Sent in such manner as each person desired, many were the groups tliut gathered together to engage in pleasant conversation and to ruminate upon the days that are gone. A picnic is not complete in these days without a game of baseball, which is strictly an American institu tion. Two games were played in the afternoon. One between Langdocdalu and Wells Tannery, and one between Wells Tannery and Luidig. Wells Tannery lost in the Urst and won in the second. Just after darkness had enveloped the earth and the "low green valley" was bushed into the silence of night, and nothing but the dim lights of the merry-go-round were visible, earthly angels were seen gathering from all directions and gliding hither and thither until they finally reached an opea space on the picnic ground. Sev eral of them marched through various evolutions finally forming themselves into a cross and kneeling before a wooden cross. While thus kneeling and with the illumination of red light falling upon them they sang "Hock of of Ages." They then arose and con tinued, their marching and were joined by many others of their sisters The whole performance was" carefully plan ned, nnd executed in such a manner as to forever Impress itself upon all present. Thus ended in religious fer vor a picnic thut liegan in fantastic pleasure, and everybody had been happy all the day long. The weather was ideal and it seemed that the smile of Providence was upon this annual gathering. About 10 p. m., in the company of cousin "Jim" and his family, I wended my way to their home that nestles 'neath the shadow of the great mountain. It was almost a sleepless night to me. Some of my Saxton friends say it was because I had eaten too much of the good things of the dear old Valley, but that was not the reason. The real reason was that I bad lived over again my whole life in the short space of twelve hours, and tHe chains of thought started by a chat with this one, and that one, aqd the many others, set my .brain to whirling bxa way that requires time and rest to restore to the hum-drum of every day life The pictures that hung on memory's wall that night were many, and varied, and valued, and never-fading. I trust what I have written will please all who read it. If anything Is omitted it is not done In tentionally, for I can assure you it was a pleasure for me to be present and I have described the day's doing as best I could. Hoping thut I may know of the picnic next year, I remain, as ever. A Wsixh Vali.ey Boy. Saxton, Pa , July 30, lltio. Subscribe lor the News. . To Husband and Wife.
