Montour American. FRANK C. ANOLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Jan. 31, 1907. STOPPED THE OVATION. Hliliard Wagner'n Teonltar Experi ence In Vienna. When Wagner was at the height of his popularity he visited Vienna. Bar on von Beust, then chancellor of the empire, was informed that the Prus sian party intended to give him an im mense serenade-a serenade which Would have the air of German protest agaiust the tendency of the ministry to make the union of Hungary and Aus tria more intimate. The demonstration promised to arouse strong feeling. "Your excellency is warned," said the chancellor's advisers. "It Is impos sible to stop this manifestation unless Wagner goes away, and he loves ova tions too well. Nothing will induce him to depart." "You think so." said Beust. with a smile. An hour later Waguer was invited to diue with the chancellor. He was flat tered by the invitation and accepted It. After dinner, at which Beust was de lightfully affable and entertaining, the «.hanc 'llor remarked: "Herr Wagner, are you interested iu autographs? I have some very curious ones to show you." And he opened a portfolio where were letters of Paluierston, Blsmarclc. Napoleon 111., llelne and others. Suddenly turniug to a paper, dated IS4\ he sai.i: "Ah. look at this. It it very curious. What would your friend his highness tlie king of Bavaria say if this paper, which would be significant in connection with the political sere nade which the Germans are going to give you. should be published tomor row in the Vienna papers?" The composer examined the paper and recognized, with surprise, an old proclamation of one Klcliard Wagner, who, an ardent revolutionist in 1848, had prjp >sed to the youth of that time to set lire to the palace of the king of Saxony. He saw his autograph and that it might be the means of getting him Into serious trouble. "Very curious. Is it not, Herr Wag ner?" said the minister. "Very ciirious. your excellency." re plied Irs guest. The next morning ltichard Wagner left Vienna, recalled to Balreuth by urgent business. —Strand Magazine. STORE WINDOW LIGHTS. Herniation* Kor Their Control mm Applied In Berlin. The regulation of artificial lighting lu connection with window displays is a subject which has been given com paratively little attention by the mu nicipalities of this country, considering the extent to which it is used for this purpose in these days. That this phase of the lighting question demands closer scrutiny there can be no doubt, and it might be well for information ou the matter to look to those cities which havo given It study. Stringent regulations have been adopted in Ber lin and other European cities, where merchants were inclined to take ad vantage of laxity iu the premises. In Berlin lamps outside shop windows must not be lower than ten feet above the pavement or project more than forty Inches from the wall. Where the lighting In the windows Is done by oil, petroleum, gas flame or Welsbachs there must always be a sheet of glass not less than one-tenth of an Inch thick under the lamps and running the whole length and breadth of the shop windows, so as to completely cover the articles In the window, and noth ing Is to be put above the lamps. The lamps must be at least forty inches tielow any luflammable part of the construction and ten Inches from any such part horizontally. There are also regulations as to Iron screens where there is bare wood and as to efficient ventilation. Bare flames are not allowed iu Igniting the gas. This must tie done by chemical or elec trical klndlers or by electric distance spark kindling arrangements especial ly sanctioned by the authorities. The regulations for Incandescent electric lamps are about equally strict.—Mu ulclpal Journal and Engineer. UNTFORM STEPS. With Them Mia; Falls Uowaitaln Would Be Averted. Falls on staircases are of rather com mon occurrence, especially In houses where the stairs are steep, dark or built with sharp turns. The frequent causes of serious falls have suggested that the likelihood of accident of this kind would l>e lessened considerably all steps were built according to a standard of height and breadth. A child's fall ou the stairs Is apt to be bad enough, and for an adult It may have serious consequences, but for au aged person the result le not unlikely to be fatal; hence It Is held that the construction of staircases de serves more attention than Is ordina rily paid to It The trouble is that stair climbing is not a natural method of progression for the humau being. A child may learn to walk with ease, but it is a long time l>efore It can ascend a stair way tu an upright position without losing Its balance. Stairs have been brought about by necessity, however, and the ordinary person has become so accustomed to them that he dashes up and down them without paying any more heed to Ills steps than if hewers walking on a surface level. Motion be comes purely mechanical, without any effort of will, and the muscles of the leg automatically adjust themselves so as to lift the foot to the height of the steps on the stairway most fre quently used The stride unconscious ly becomes adapted to a certain height in taking steps This unconscious estimate of height often is the cause of many falls. When a different stairway is used the foot is unaccustomed t > the pitch, aud hence a trip !.< likely to occur. On narrow and steep staircases there should be a hand rail on eieh side. The instinctive clutch lollowiiig a stumble would mean the saving of many limbs and heads. But the surest way to obviate accidents would be to standardize all stairways, at least in the matter of heigh t.— New York Press. After Dark.

Irinda's worst fault was morbidness when she remembered that she was sallow and pale eyed and had sandy hair when she would have preferred pink and white complexion, dark eyes and golden hair. She would have add ed dimples and beautifully arched eye brows. too. If she could have had her way about it. As a matter of fact, II was only when she was remembering her ugliness that she really was ugly. Her face in her times of forgetting pic tured quite pleasantly her pure spirit and loving heart. Irinda and a Jolly lot of other music lovers were on a train hound for San HEIS Kvrs n AXDEKGD TO THE OPPOSITK BII>B OF THE CAlt. Francisco and a week of grand opera. Jim. her satellite, was along, not be cause lie appreciated grand opera, but because he appreciated Irinda. So much for the hero and heroine. Next the villain, to whom his Celtic mother had given a ravishing pair of blue eyes and a tongue tuned to soft words. Barney was not a villainous j villain at all—just a warm hearted boy who loved everybody and wanted to be loved by everybody in turn. He must have the villain's part because there cannot be a second hero and because— But you shall see. As the train sped along Jim went to the smoker not to smoke, for he had never learned how, but because he feared Irinda might be tiring of him. Barney Imnie liately took his place. Soon after a lady and gentleman boarded the tr.'.i As Irinda's seat had been turned so that her back was toward the engine, the newcomer* were in full view of her. The lady bent her head, and some rice fell from her smart brown turban. The gentle man smiled, and lady's cheeks went ml as roses. Then she opened her magazine and tried to look uncon scions. "Oh. Baruey," breathed Irinda, "Isn't the bride lovely? L)o look at that but terfly in her veil Just at the corner of her sweet red mouth! See that perfect curve from her forehead to her chin as she 1 inks out the window. Now, quick. Barney, she is turning to her husband. See her beautiful eyes. They're as brown as her dainty hat." Barney's ra\ ishing eyes glanced at the beautiful lady, Barney's quick mind took in the situation, and Bar ney's wnrni heart rose to the occasion. Smilingly he turned to Irinda. "Why. I never think of a woman's looks, whether she has a pretty face or not. That doesn't appeal to me. When 1 know a woman she attracts me or not according to whether or not she has magnetism. Magnetism Is as good a name as any other for what no one understands. But, believe me, Irinda, magnetism is the charm of a woman, not a pretty face." Barney's blue eyes said so much more than his tongue, rolling ever so slight ly his "r's," that Irinda's colorless face flushed becomingly. The eyes said that she. Irinda Bowen, had the magnet lam. or whatever It was, and that it had never occurred to Barney whether or not she was pretty. Happy thoughts fluttered around Irin da for the rest of the journey. Barney left her, and .Tim came back. She smiled at him. He didn't know It was an Impersonal stnlle, born of Barney's words. She remembered th« day when she had crieM o-t fiercely at her lack of beauty. ;; id Jim had answered: "What difference does it make what you look like? You ar<* always beau tiful to me. Irinda." He never knew why she had pushed him away when he would have put his arms around her Stupid old Jim couldn't know that he had made a tacit ackn ' v'.edgmeut of her ugliness, while Barney why. Barney had never thought anything about It. Grand opera week went by in a dl apason of glory. Irinda was wonder fully happy, and every day she told herself shyly and with many blushes how much she was caring for Barney. It was not till the j were homeward bound that the tragedy happened. The tragedy? No. it was not the train leaving the rails and plunging dowu an embankment. It was only Barney's pleasant voice, rolllug ever so slightly his r's -It was only Barney making this remark to Alderly. the chaperon's husband: "I have been noth ing the ladies in this car, and I don't believe I ever saw to many lieautiful ones together. Don't you know it is rare to find a really beautiful woman? If her eyes are tine, something is wrong with her chin: If her nose" Irinda felt sick and voluntarily clos ed her e.-irs, while her sun seemed to leave its horizon. Barney, who never thought of a woman's looks, was dis cussing woman's beauty! Then he bad j not meant what he had said to her at j all. Irinda felt very much as she had i when some one told her that George Washington and his little hatchet aud William Tell and the apple were prob , ably only pleasant stories. But at the j same time she was suddenly conscious i that she did not love and never had loved Barney. Her eyes wandered to the opposite side of the car, where Jim ; «at alone. A little flicker of sunshine j was touching hU brown hair with gold. I Irinda. w.tli a qu.ck indrawing of her j | breath, remembered that it had looked i Just si tli.' uijt'iii.ig her mother .die.i I me doctor naa toia them—her father 112 and herself- that the sick one could j not live through the day, and he had gone away and left tliem to their sor row. Miserably father and daughter' had communed together. She must be told, but each shrank from the telling, i Just then Jim had come. He had been i like a son to Irinda's mother, and they i relegated the task to him, knowing that Jim never had shirked a duty in ! his life. She remembered how he had gone about it -not smoothing over the sad facts at all, but with eyes and manner and words so full of sympathy and tenderness and stanch hope of the un known future that death seemed to lose something of its dread. And as she. at the foot of the bed, had lifted j up her tear stained face she saw a ray j ■>f sunlight touch Jim's hair Just as it was tiling uov.. She tried to picture Barney in the death chamber. He would not have lacked in sympathy, but he would have tried to bring encouragement where no encouragement could be.

"When people fall into the habit of wondering whether they htive done routine things It Is high time for them to consider the advisability of a rest," said a physician. "There Is no surer sign, to my mind, that the system Is becoming overtaxed than this feeling of uncertainty. "I was staying with a friend the other night—spending the night with him, in fact. He's a man whom I know pretty well, and I thought at dinner and through the evening, from a little nervousness in his conversation and manner, that things weren't all right with him, but I wasn't abso lutely convinced till bedtime approach ed. We were sitting upstairs In his study, his family having retired, add he asked hie to excuse him while he saw that the house was locked up. It was a still night, and I could follow his progress around the various rooms on the first floor. He seemed to me to be unnecessarily long, and, without being inquisitive, I really became in terested to know whether he wasn't making the rounds twice. Finally I heard him go Into the parlor, a room I was sure he had visited at least once before. When he came upstairs I asked laughingly how many times he had seen that each window was fas ened. But he wasn't in a laughing mood at all. " 'lt's a funny thing, old man,' he said, 'but I've been fool enough to look at each window two or three times. Do you know, it would strike me after I had left u room that perhaps I hadn't put the catch properly on one of the windows there, and back I'd have to goto make sure. Being in there, I'd examine the other windows again. It's been that way for half a dozen nights. Somehow doing these things doesn't seem to make the Impression on me that one would expect. This lack of sureness Isn't confined to lockiug win dows either. I find myself at the office wondering whether I have given such and such Instructions—lnstruc tions that are so much a part of my daily work that I suppose I give them mechanically and then forget them. Nine times out of ten I find everything is all right, but I'm not quite happy till I do. I guess I must be getting old maldish In my old age.' "It was my turn to be serious then. I explained to him that his forgetful ness all came from being overtired. From habit he worked like an automa ton, doing this, that and the other thing In his business or home life, but a great number of his actions were without the cognizance of the brain. He needed rest and If he did not take it he would Vrortk down. "I got him away from cares for a bit, and tie next time I saw him he laughed as he. - tily over the incident of the much lo ked windows as I pre tended to He doesn't know it, but he had a narrow escape.

Women more than men are possess ed with a dread of growing old, not realizing that maturity has Its charms and compensations. We wish young people oftener had it impressed upon them that they may provide for a hap py old age by laying up b reserve of sound health and a store of happy memories as well as by cultivating tastes and resources which will out last youth. As for those who lire al ready approaching middle age, there Is no surer way to grow old premature ly than to dread the future. It is es sential, if we wish to keep young, to cultivate that hopeful habit of mind so characteristic of youth—the hope which makes one able to say with Browning, "The best is yet to came," and with Lucy Larcum, "Every year life Is lar ger and deeper and more beautiful in its possibilities." Allied with this at titude of expectancy must be the abil ity to see the amusing side of life. Worry and vexation over what would better be laughed at result in disfigur ing wrinkles. Above all. if the years bring us. as they should, a better un derstanding of ourselves, a broadening of active human sympathies, a firmer faith in Providence, we shall find life abundantly worth the living, no mat ter what may be the number of our birthdays.—Western Review. Tlie Heart of a Child. That which disparages us and quick ens revolt Is no less a factor in a child's emotional life. But there is this dlfTerence—we have the better oppor ; tunlty to defend ourselves and to ob j tain reparation. So there is a certain . pathetic pleasure In standing with hu manity where Its Joys, its longings, Its embarrassments and its disappoint ments are simplest and newest, and, perforce, where impotency is absolute. Give me this most uncommercial, this divlnest of enterprises for my own! Give me a child to lie at home with, to be in absolute confidence with! If I cannot refashion my warped, wrln kled and discolored old soul Into the unbiased graces and the ethereal purl ty of the ««r»irit of the child, let me now and again open that little door and shut myself in that little heart, just for the sheer lelight of it.—Fattersou Du Bois in Success Magazine. inn tuitions.

The new primary law seems to have worked pretty well in various parts of : tne State. One of tlie greatest defects, j however, is the absence of provision J f-«r publicity of the returns. If the election board fails to post the figu j res, ami there is nothing compelling 1 it to do so, voters will have to relv on statements the board members may choose to make or else wait until the following Wednesday when the coun ty commissioners begin the count. An ameudment providing that the public be informed officially of results seems to be needed. PER SON ALLY IN VESTIG ATE. The voters of Montour county have three weeks in which to make up their minds concerning the personality and the opinions of the various candidates who seek their suffrages, as well as the other important matters awaiting decision. They should take the time to personally investigate candidates 1 and principles. Will Help Postal Clerks. Postal employes are elated over the news from Washington that the pest office committee has reported favor ably on the bill increasing salaries and reading all post offiice employes. If the measure is finally passed it will ensure clerks of annual promotion un til the maximum pay is reached. SHERIFF'S SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE !
