Hay, Elk Lick, Pa. tf | A Column | Dedicated i to Tired | Mothers As They | Join the Home | Circle at | Evening | Tide. { Crude Thoughts | As They | Fall From the Editorial Pen:— Pleasant Evening Reveries. Home Circle | Depart- ment. Women should grow more devoted, and men fonder after marriage, if they have the slightest idea of being happy as wives and husbands. It is losing sight of this fundamental truth which leads to hundreds of divorces. Yet many a man will scold his wife, who would never think of breathing a harsh word to his sweetheart, and many a wife will look glum and morose on her husband’s return, who had only smiles and words of cheer for him when he was her suitor. Don’t repress the buoyant spirit of your children; half an hour of merri- ment around the lamp and firelight of a home blots out many a care and an- noyance during the day, and the best safeguard they can take with them in- to the world is the unseen influence of a bright little domestic circle. Put home first and foremost ; for there will come a time when the home circle will be broken, when you long “for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still,” and when your greatest pleasure will be in remember- ing that you did all in your power to put a song under every burden, to make each other happy. COMPANIONSHIP HEALTHFUL, There is a wise old German saying that “Only a god or a brute can dwell in solitude.” Men and women need congenial companionship, both for the sake of health and happiness. Just as your lungs, after using up all the oxy- gen in a close room, need to be filled with fresh, out-of-door air, so your mind needs contact with other minds to get--new ideas. There is such a thing as mental as well as physical hunger. Herders on the cattle ranches of the’ West frequently become mad from the isolation they are forced to endure. Women on lonely farms and in small villages grow morbid and mildly insane, and people do not guess that the cause is want of companion- ship. It is for this reason that a woman’s work at home is always more trying than that of her husband, who goes to his office, sees new faces, and .has the friction that is produced by meeting other people. Even the farmer has more intercourse with his neighbor at market, or at the village grocery, than his wife, who may not see anyone out- side of her own family for weeks. It is a great mistake of young people to iso- late themselves. Even if their tastes lead them to a quiet life, they should make it a point to cultivate a few agreeable friends. HUSBANDS AND WIVES, A good husband makes a good wife. Some men can neither do without wives nor with them ; they are wretch- ed alone in what is called single bless- edness, and they make their homes miserable when they get married ; they are like Tompkin’s dog, which could not bear to be loose, and howled when it was tied up. Happy bachelors make happy husbands, and a happy husband is the happiest of men. A well match- ed couple carry a joyful life between them, as the two spies carried the clus- ter of Eschol. They multiply their joys: by sharing them, and lessen their troubles by dividing them. Thisis fine arithmetic. The wagon of care rolls lightly along as they pull together, and when it drags a little heavily, orthere’s a hitch anywhere, they love each other all the more, and so lighten the labor. FOR THE BOYS. The young man who is always found around the street corners, and who spends his evenings in drinking and playing cards, will never amount to much. It is contrary to the natural order of things. The boys who spend their precious youth in this manner are the ones who will live in poor houses, wear poor clothes, and when they come to die they will be followed to their graves by few friends. Oh, that the young men of our land might awaken to a knowledge of their situation, There is an.opportunity for every young man to become an honored citizen, and so many, toh, so many precious boys are allowing themselves to be carried along, apparently caring but little about their future. We do admire a manly boy, one who tries to become a man, and we always feel like helping him along. The boy whe steps out from among evil associates, -gives to- bacco the go by, has the true grit and [deserves to be helped. Our country needs grand and good men, and to be- come a grand and good man, one must be a grand and good boy. It is a wrong idea that every boy must “sow his wild oats.” When you sow a crop of wild oats, you must take time to harvest a crop; and the crop is never anything but chaff. “Wild oats” need never be sown. The time spent in gow- ing wild oats is worse than lost, for the time could be spent in sowing a crop that would yield a golden harvest. Be careful about the kind of seed you sow, for “whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” MODERN MARRIAGE. Half the marriages in the world are nothing but bubbles and barter. A man wants a wife. He casts about for an even exchange. In a year he is tired ef his bargain. In five years love is dead, and cold-browed tolerance in- herits love’s garments. In twenty years tolerance is at its grave, and hate reigns supreme. The wife is naggy and prickly and peckish. The husband is dogmatical and reticent and mean. But there they hang together on the bough, like two gnarled and frosted apples, until the winds of death dis- lodge them, and away they go. The only way to be rid of bubble marriages —marriages that turn out emptiness with one drop of water as the residium, and that drop a tear—is to educate our boys and girls to something higher than playing with pipes and soapy wa- (Give them something more ear- nest to do, and see that they do it. Compel men and women to choose their life companions with at least a tithe of the solemnity they bring to the selee- tion of a carriage horse or a ribbon. Legislate laws against early marriages. “I can’t tolerate children,” said a little simpleton to us, one day, “but 1 adore dogs!” and yet that girl had an engage- ment ring on her finger. There should be a special seclusion for such girls un- til they develop some instinct of wom- anliness, and should no more be allow- ed to. marry than a Choctaw chief should take charge of a kindergarten. We cannot hope to turn a bubble into Substance after it is once broken. ter. A REW ARD.

MILLER WILL PAY BACK YOUR MONEY IF PEPSIKOLA FAILS TO CURE YOUR INDIGESTION. “Never in the history of this store,” remarked one of the above druggists to an interested customer, “has there been so great a demand for a new rem- edy as there is just now for Pepsikola Tablets. Elk Lick people are coming in every day inquiring if it really is true that we sell Pepsikola with the understanding that it will cure dyspep- sia or pay back the money. As a mat- ter of fact,” continued the druggist, “not one person in fifty bas asked for their money, and it may surprise you to know that at least a dozen within the last ten days have been in to tell us how much they have been relieved, and how glad hey are to know at last there is a remedy that really will cure indigestion and dyspepsia.” Pepsikola braces up and tones every nerve and fibre, helps digest the food, puts new life into the digestion, improves the ap- petite, cures coated tongue, dizzy spells and sour stomach. Try it for ten days, and if you don’t see a big improvementstep in and tell Mr. Miller, and he will hand back your quarter cheerfully and without argu- ment: 3-1 TO LAND OWNERS:—We have printed and keep in stock a supply of trespass notices containing extracts from the far-reaching trespass law pass- ed at the 1905 session of the Pennsyl- vania Legislature.
