Should ho have It? IJy nil menns. Give the old man a chance at the hat. Let him cavort In Ms $10 hand-me-down suit, his last fummer's utraw hat, and his harEaln-rounter brogans. OC course he looks nratty.hum In that ratmaut alonfrbldc of his daughter with hor ?-5 Inverted Hour bnrrel top piece, her ?50 gown with the waist at tho knee?, her Kronch heeled patent pumps, and the rest of tho stuff that goes with Klad. feminine decorations. Hut ho is "dad," nevertheless. "Ma" with her 500 clubs, her bridge par ties, her pink tens, and her cut glass society will certainly step back for one day and let the old man realize for a short twenty-four hours that "every dad has his day." The best way to build up a town is to staiid by every man in the place who does right. Whenever a man is doing well do not tear him down. All residents should he partners, not opponents. In all livelihoods the more business your rival does tho more you will do. Every business man who treats his customers hon estly, courteously and fairly will get his share and the more business that can be secured by united efforts, tne better it will be for all. When a town ceases to grow it begins to die, and the more people try to kill each other's business in their town the more readily will utter ruin come to all. Stand together for the ad vancement of every citizen. If a man shows ability to prosper do not pull him back through jealousy or weight him down through cold in difference. TIIK WOICIil) OKOWS nKTTKlC. A distinguished professor of phil osophy who In his youth know pov erty and toil, has been telling Uoston that the saints of 100 years ago would not be tolerated to-day; that drunkards and slave-traders have left glamoured names; that there Is more religion in colleges than thir ty years ago, and"that even politici ans are more decent. He is right. And the improvement is world-wide. The England of 1910, with Its Id-age pensions and Its popular government,' shows more regard for the people than did the caste-ruled England of 1800, when the poor rate rose In some cases to seven shillings In the pound; or the Eng land of Macaulay's day, when to be liberal In politics was to be "hope lessly excluded from all posts of emolument, from all functions of dignity, from the opportunities of business, from the amenities of so ciety." The France of 1910, prosperous, educated, progressive. Is a great ad vance upon tho France of starved peasants and pampered aristocrats before the Revolution, to which La fayette testifies. French manners and culture as well as French rights are due; or upon the vllo tyranny and corruption of the second empire. Upon tho continent of Europe all nations have a, pleasanter outlook than In the '4 8 which so many liv ing men remoinhor, when but ono or two little islands of comparative freedom thrust out from a sea of despotism. In little things we cease to think about tho advanco which has come. Mrs. Drowning, for Instance, described the wondorful Im pulse of freedom of thought that came with cheap postage as "tho most successful revolution since the glorious three days." And In America has religion suf fered since In its decay Virginia churches were turned to barns and fonts to horse-troughs? Or philan thropy, since the insane wero chain ed to hitchlng-rlngs In nlthy collars? Or temperance, slnco a twelve-quart pall of whisky bought for ?1.25 graced tho typical Now England harn-"ralslng?" Or education, slnco Lew Wallace, running nway bare foot to Wabash College, found It a dirty hut above a low dug-out haso ment? Or freedom, slnco escaped negro slaves were "sold running" to upeculators who took their chance f catching and "breaking" thera? Or journalism, since Greeley, Den nett, Webb and Urooka swapped epithets? Or oven business meth ods, since Flsk nnd Gould and Vnn dorbllt waged their lgnorablo wars? We do things good or bad upon a bigger scale than In tho "good old days" which those doploro who least know what thoso days were like. Hut good gains upon evil rap Idly, stendily, Inevitably. Pralscrs of timo past might be in better buslnetm helping the optimists to hasten a fair future. Don't imagine for a moment that advertUIng will not bring you results ill your immediate Held. Thnt's an error that many merchant! make, when they nBiure themselvos that their store Is so well known that It doesn't require newspaper advertis ing that tho trade will naturally drift his way, anyhow. There Isn't a store anywhere in tho world that has so secure a footing as that not a single store and you nre not do ing business In a field but that your sales can be Increased by careful nowspaper advertising. If this is not true, why is it that a stream of mail orders is constantly going out of your town. to catalogue houso3f And arc not these sales made by these cat alogue houses tho result of persistent advertising In the very field you feel that you have cultivated to the limit? Whenever you get such an idea fixed In your mind, and really believe that there's nothing more to conquer, you are simply turning over ready money to the man that does possvss the broader vision you are ceding territory and rights to others that careful nowspaper advertising would retain in your possession. HOW UOOSKVKLT Cl'T A .'Oltl) 1AX KNOT. In his now famous series, "Trav eling with Taft," running through each Issue of Human Life, Alfred Henry Lewis In tho March number tells the following: A certain Scotch English nobleman, one Fraser, who had commanded in the Hoer War, wns with Mr. Roosevelt socially. General Crozier, of our own army, came in per appointment. General Crozier in his spare moments has In vented a "rod" bayonet. Also he was urging its adoption by our army in lieu of the sword bayonet. Mr. Roosevelt had sent for Gener al Crozier to come and defend tho device. After talking pro and con, Mr. Roosevelt said suddenly: "Well, there's nothing like a test. Aside from the work your bayonet docs, Crozier, tho troops complain that It's too weak. Suppose we have a trial." Mr. Roosevelt sent for a couple of Sprlngflelds, one armed with a sword and tho other with a "rod." He gave General Crozier the one adorned with his own Invention, keeping the sword bayonet himself. Feet well spread, weapon In posi tion. .Mr. Roosevelt gave the word. "On guard there, Crozier!" The noble North Briton sat aghast. Surely tho head of the greatest na tion on tho map was not about to fence with real bayonets against an experienced soldier! With the best and most skilful play, with the most forbearing caution, there was obvi ous peril in it! Either one or the other might get himself stuck like a pig! The noble North Briton could not credit his ears and eyes. Yet there they were, the President and the General, fencing, thrusting, par rying like born foes. Tho play went on for full two minutes. Then there was a rasping sound, a lock, a twist, and snap! Tho Roosevelt sword bayonet had broken tho Crozier "rod" bayonet short off at the shank. The enthralled North Briton heaved a deep breath and caine out of his trance. He tells the tale In English army circles, where it is greatly disbelieved. THE SEAT OF FEAR. A 'French surgeon has located tho sensation of fear In a nerve which stretches upward from the medulla oblongata at tho back of the neck In to the cerebellum, that part of tho brain at tho base of tho head. The larger and more developed this nerve the more timorous and melancholy Is the possessor, for It acts as a tele phone wire over which tho alarms are sent. With this wire cut the craven becomes a hero, for no alarms enn reach him. Tho doctor was led to this conclusion, says Science Sitt ings, by the case of a man who lost the sensation of fear after an Injury about tho head, and afterward ho conllrmed his theory by experiments on animals.

James Kalney in charge. Following this was a song. The first paper to be discussed wns road by Miss Carrie Gredlotn, who took for her subject "Hyglono," In which she spoke of the need of bettor ventilation In the school room. Sho also stated that tho children should be moro careful In the mnsti- fnttnn nf tlmlr furwl Sevoral teachers 'took part in the 1 i .i i ii... ' ! guiiuriti uisuussiuii; me discussion being closed with remarks by Rev. .lames Rainey. Francis Curtis read a paper on "Public School Government." Be fore one attempts to govern children ho or she must be able to govern him or herself. Tho best results in School Government are obtained only when the school and home aro ! working In harmony. ! In reviewing Mr. Curtis' pnper, Prof. Watklns said: "There are two kinds of government voluntary and compulsory. When you cannot make a success of voluntary government, compulsory government should be enforced." Miss Emma Stanton seconded 4Mr. Curtis' Ideas and also stated that "some teachers would punish a pupil not because it was necessary but simply to show his or her authority." Messrs. Pennell, Clemens and Smith also gave their various views of the subject. Next was a recitation, "The Build ers," which was well rendered by Bliss Treat. The third subject to be discussed was "School Composition," which was ably handled by Miss Anna Wil denstein. Composition should be practiced in every school as It teaches the pupil to express himself in the best possible manner. Under this subject come paraphrasing, imagin ary story writing, and letter writing. Tho young man or woman who can express his or her thoughts in words, using correct spelling, punctuation, etc., is the one who obtains the best positions. Miss Rebecca McCabe said: "There is not sufficient composition in tho public school. Pupils should begin letter writing in the third year of school. Should also havo original composition." Miss Stanton and G. H. Knapp- also took part In the discussion. Mr. Watklns, Mr. Knapp and others discussed the advlsableness of omit ting mathematics from the school curriculum. Miss Delia Collins recited "The Last Hymn," which was fully ap preciated by all. The last subject to be taken up before closing the morning session, was "Morals and Manners," this be ing delivered in a fine manner by Mr. Raymond E. Smith. Many teach ers have not acquired the correct method of teaching the different sub jects. History is not properly taught unless It produces a feeling of patriotism. Miss Wildenstein, being asked her opinion of the teaching of "Morals," replied: "It is very important that the teacher should lay particular stress on training the young minds along this channel. Very often the teaching of "Morals" is sadly neg lected in the school-room." It Is the opinion of Prof. Watklns that the time is coming when It will be compulsory to have devotional exercises in every school-room. After the song. "I'll be a Sunbeam" which was excellently rendered by Miss Stanton's pupils, Professor Watklns adjourned the meeting un til afternoon. AFTERNOON SESSION Meeting opened at 1:30 by singing "Gather ing Seed," followed by a recitation by Miss Katherino McCabe. Tho first paper In tho afternoon was rend by Walter Pennell, whoso tubject was "Tho Recitation." Tho teacher should spend a certain amount of timo on the lesson so that ho will havo a thorough knowledge of the lesson when the class is called for recitation. Tho pupil should not moniorlzo tho words of tho lesson, but should be taught to grasp their meaning, and tell tho story In their own words. Mr. Curtis reiterated Mr. Pen noll's statements. Brief remarks wero made by sov eral teachors in regard to length of tho recitation. Vocal solo Miss Harriet Curtis. A paper on "Obedience" was read by MIsb Rebecca McCabe. "Obedl enco In the pupil is most essential. A word to the pupil Is sometimes more expedient than punishment, in ncqulrlng obedionco from tho chil dren. Parents and teacher must work In harmony." Tho remarks of Prof. Watkjns, Miss Stanton and Mr. Clomons -vero mainly In nccordanco with those of Miss McCabe. Mr. E. K. Curtis also gavo an In telligent discussion of this subject. Many times tho teacher and pupils misunderstand each other. In order to ho assured of obodlonco tno teach er must first obtain tho respect and confidence of tho pupil. Next was a. vocal solo by Prof. Watklns, which was followed by a recitation by Miss Mnmlo Schnffcr nnd nn essay on "Tho Advantages of a High School Education" by Miss Amanda Norton. Song, "Falling Leaves." Tho themo of tho next paper to bo i rend wns "Hyglono in the Public i School." Miss Emma Stanton had charge of this subject. Special stress I should bo given to tho study of al- in the schoolroom. Living In poor ly vontllntod rooms Is ono way of committing suicide. Prof. Watklns gave a lino discus sion of "Imitation," in which he stated: "Imitation Is not a symbol but a state of action. We imitate every day without realization. Ninety people out of ono hundred imitate Instead of originate. Habits are not formed In a single day but continual repetition niakos them fix ed. Men who accomplish anything 111 lifo are tllog0 who !mvo n win" ATtiir ilinnklne tlio Innrhnrn n After thanking tho teachers and all those who took part in the In stitute, Prof. Watklns adjourned the meeting. The lecture, "The Country's Call For Men," delivered last evening by Prof. Albert of tho Bloomsburg State Normal School, was largely attended. WOMANLY WISDOM. Happiness consists often In just forgetting. If you would be farslghted you must learn to live on the heights. Quit worrying over things you can not help. e Any old magazines lying around out of use? Lend them to a ne'gh bor who has none. Fried ham Is Improved in flavor by sprinkling it slightly with sugar on both Bides before frying. CD Have a pair of canvas gloves near the wood-box, with which to handle the wood, take out the ash pan, etc. 9 Woman, what, downhearted? Then go outdoors and stay a few hours a day. Nature Is a wonderful healer of weary nerves. O O A glazier's knife will be found an excellent thing In the kitchen with which to scrape and clean the bot toms of pans and kettles. 9 9 She didn't think how it would sound: A widow erected a monument to her husband, with the Inscription, "Rest in peace until we meet again." 9 When baking cookies, or any small cakes, invert the pan and place them on the bottom. They are not so eas ily scorched and are more readily removed. 9 ' "I s'pose you might say, lookln' at It ono way, that liquor's great stuff to sort of even up things. Of course It takes shingles off a man's barn, but then It puts patches on his pants." 9 When pressing men's trousers, in order to tnke the bagglness out of the knees, press them first perfectly flat with the seams on the edges; then put the seams together and Iron tho crease down tho front. 9 9 Ask the good mnn of the house to look at tho supports of your swing ing shelves In the cellar, before they come down under the load of canned things. Such a smash would be grievous, indeed. Don't risk it. 9 9 Many stores, even in rnther small towns, have a "rest room" for those who come to trade. Perhaps you have not discovered this. Ask, next time you are In town, nnd seo how It Is. And If enough people ask and ask earnestly enough, tho stores which now do not havo such places will soon get them. 9 Nover buy spectacles of men who come along offering you great bar gains. The chances nro that you will not get a fit and you will pay moro than the glasses are worth. Tho eyes are too precious to be tampered with in any such way. Go to some reliable man and have your eyos really fitted. That's the way to do It. 9 May I presumo to give a hint us to how to boll an egg? I know it seems out of plnco for a moro man to offor such advice, but really to cook an egg, havo some boiling wa ter in a saucepan, put In tho egg, covor it, nnd let It stand on tho stovo for flvo minutes. Then if you examine It you will find the white creamy, hut not hard, and tho yoke n3 woll cooked as tho white. Most things cook better slowly than fast, and it Is a great mistake to think that an enormous llro nnd very fast boil ing wator aro necessary to cook a dinner. 9 9 Tq keep sausago and sparerlh fresh till summon Fry nnd pack In Jars, then pour over all molted lard. Bo suro to use puro lard and not the greaso In which tho sausage or moat has been fried, for such groaso will contain soma wntor which will causo the meat to become strong as soon as warm weather comes. The lard used will ho good for cooking pur poses, for being poured over after tho sausage Is fried It will havo none or vory little of tho flavor from It. After trying sevcrnl ways this has proved the only satisfactory one of keeping either sausage or sparerlh through tho warm weather of sum mer. March Farm Journal. THE POUIntV YARD. Do you keep your chickens, or do they keep you? 9 9 ' Good warm wheat makes a nice ! breakfast for the biddies. tt Sklm-mllk is thin looking stuff, but It may be put to good use In the poultry yard. 0 O A little moro clean litter on the floors. Keep the fowls hard at work. It Is tho price of health. O In poultry raising the breed is Important, but the man or woman behind the breed is more so. Q Chickens that lay around almost anywhoro sometimes are merely emulating tholr botters. O Tho man who keeps hens Is not so much of a philosopher as the man who has the hens keep him. For hatching purposes take the eggs from the hens that lay best. Build up; never let the standard down. 9 9 A shelf, a couple of feet below tho roosts, Is handy to catch the drop pings, and handy to clean. And don't forget to clean It. 9 9 Excelsior always seemed to me rather cold stuff to make nests of. Good fine, clean oat straw is about , the best of anything that we ever tried. 9 9 ! As a rule, eggs from two-year-old hens give better satisfaction at this time of the year thau when from I younger stock, and tho chicks nre more vigorous. 1 9 The eggs of hens that did heavy laying during the winter are not so apt to be as strongly fertilized, as eggs from hens that made but a fair showing. 9 9 The last egg laid before a hen goes to sitting will often bo so small that it will havo no yolk at all. There Is an old notion that it is bad luck to bring these small eggs In the house. 9 9 A nest that suits tho turkey hen first-rate may - be raado by turning a salt barrel on the side. Put straw In the hollow, and a nest egg, and cover the barrel over with brush. If you have it handy. 9 9 Ono of my neighbors says that there's no money In poultry, and that the easiest way to get eggs Is to buy them. He says that he keeps chick ens to. eat the bugs in his orchard; pays 'em a cent n bug. 9 9 Is there a place under some old building where you can spado up the earth and give It to the hens to work at? They will dig away hard to find tho worms that may be In It. Noth ing will do them more good. 9 9 When a hen lays now and then, and not soon again, and you can't decide whether sho hndn't better quit altogther, I'll tell you what to do: Why, just ax her to, and neither In box nor In keg will she ever lay another egg. 9 9 March settings should not contain more than cloven eggs, for when a larger number is given the hen can not sufficiently cover them to im part tho necessary warmth. When too many eggs nre placed In the nest, thoso on the outer edge aro not apt to get the amount of heat required to devlope the germ and bring forth the chick. 9 O Any system of feeding is expen- W. 11.
