The more you trouble trouble the
more trouble will trouble you.
To be free Is to have the power
to live nbovc adversity while In the
midst of adversity.
Never run away from trouble. He
right, strong, harmonious and mas
terful whore you are. and trouble
will soon run away from you.
President Tnft Is beginning to
realize that there is more truth
than poetry In the saying that "no
body loves a fat man."
Civil suits have been Instituted
against every olllelal who In any
way had connection with the erec
tion or furnishing of the capitol
building at Harrisburg with the ex
ception of Govs. Stone and Penny
packer. Included in the suits are
all the contractors, architects aud
the bondsmen for the ofllclals.
Continue to feel mean, ugly, mis
erable or disgusted, and you will
Anally look these things. Continue
to feel disagreeable every hour for
a year, or even less, and you will
not only look disagreeable, but you
will become I personally repulsive.
These are well-known facts; but the
law works both wnys. Continue to
feel within yourself all those quali
ties that naturally attract admira
tion, and you will become so attrac
tive, first in your nature and then
also in your personality, that you
will attract the admiration of every
person you meet. Continue to feel
any desirable quality, and that qual
ity, will become a living power in
your nature. Later it will express
Itself in your personality, and you
will look what you feel. This feel
ing, however, must bo continuous;
It must become habitual and subcon
scious, and must be thoroughly alive
evory hour.
Representative Macon, of Georgia,
has nominated Commodore Peary
for membership In the " Ananias
Club," claiming that his right to
membership is Indisputable and can
be substantiated by his own record
of tho distance which he traveled
after leaving Capt. Hartlett, in his
final dash to the pole. While with
Capt. Bartlett and a strong support
ing party, he only averaged 9.0C
miles a day. After leaving Hartlett
and with no white man as a witness,
he claims to have travelled an aver
age of 2CVi miles per day. The
Commodore, in a letter to General
Greely. written in 1904, claims that
7.4 miles a day would be a good
average. Edward Payson Weston,
tho greatest walker in the world, a
trained athlete, unencumbered with
any load, traveling over smooth
graded roads, paved streets, etc., did
not average over 40 miles a day In
his Journey from Boston to San

The following romnnco wns related
In n speech In the House tho other
dny by Representative Kolfor of
Ohio, who, 27 years ngo, was Speaker
of tho House.
"I know a man In tho army," ho
said, "who ought to bo a brigadier
general. Ho served In tho Civil wnr
when almost a child. He fought at
the ago of twelve and ho was small
for his age. After tho war he want
ed to go to West Point. Ho went to
President Grnnt, who told him ho
would appoint him as soon ns he was
old enough and felt prepared to take
the examinations. Later on, tho
President nominated him ns a cadet.
The doctors made short work of him.
They rejected the man because ho
wns too short, did not weigh enough
nnd knew nothing about mathemat
ics and literature. That is tho way
he went through West Point. Tho
young man returned to Washington.
He called on President Grant and told
h 1 in how ho had failed and how sorry
ho wns to havo to go home and find
a way of making a living outside of
the nrmy. Ho thanked the President
for his appointment.
Grant, In his cold, stern way, told
the ambitious young man that ho was
glad he had failed. That was not
very consoling to tho broken-hearted,
patriotic soldier boy. President
Grant wrote something on a card,
put it in an envelope nnd nsked the
I young man to carry it to tho War
Department nnd hand it to the Sec
i retary of War. He did so and the
Secretary became very polite to him,
asked Him to take a seat, paid him
great respect and immediately made
out an appointment for him as a
second lieutenant in the Army of the
United States. He Is to-day senior
colonel in the quartermaster de
partment of the United States Army
i John L. Clem."
Aguinaldo is living the life of a
country gentleman on a small estate
Just outside of Cavlte. He takes no
part whatever in the politics of his
country. From the moment of his
capture Aguinaldo took tho position
that it would be Improper for him to
express any opinion whatsoever re
garding tho rule of his country by
Americans. So far as is known he
has not commented in anyway, either
favorably or adversely upon the ad
ministration of the white man.
"For a couple of years," said Man
uel L. Quezon, the Philippine Com
missioner to Congress. "I lived with
AgulnaldG In his home. We were on !
the most intimate terms. Remark-1
able as it may seem, I have not heard
him make any comment whatever
about the change in the government
of the Islands. No one has been able
to trap him into any kind of an ad
mission. If he is asked whether he;
thinks conditions in the Islands
have improved under the adminis
tration of the American, ho will re
ply: " "1 am very busy with my farm
ing.' "
"Whether he approves or con
demns the new order of things no
body knows. Still he seems to be
contented. Once or twice a year he I
is inVlted to dine with tho gover-1
nor general. Ho always accepts
these invitations and seems to enjoy I
himself. He maintains an air of
dignity and composure at all times
and lias the respect of every one." '
Secretary Knox may soon receive
an Increase in pay, not that the
high cost- of living is worrying him
greatly, but simply because ho will
soon be eligible for a raise In sal
ary. Mr. Knox, although tho prem
ier of the Taft administration, re
ceives only 18,000 a year, while all
the other members of tho Cabinet
are paid at the rate of $1,000 a
month. A constitutional limitation
brought about the reduction In the
pay of Mr. Knox and for a time
threatened to keep him out of 'the
Cabinet nltogethor.
Mr. Knox was a Senator when the
pay of Cabinet officers was increas
ed from J8.000 to 12,000. The
Constitution provides that no mem
ber of Congress shall bo appointed
to a position, the emoluments of
which shall have been Increased
during the term for which ho is
elected. Mr. Knox's term as Sena
tor would have expired on March
4, 1911. After that date there will
ho no constitutional objection to his
receiving tho pay of other Cabinet
olilccrs. In due time his salnry will
bo Increased.
James II. G:rfloUl has been In
Washington for a couple of weoks,
but during all that period he has
not found tlmo to call nt the Whlto
House. Mr. Garflold is the house
guest of Gilford Plnchot. Ho is aid
ing tho latter In the preparation of
his case before the Congressional
Investigating Committee, and later
on may tako tho stand himsolf,
Mr. Garflold worked hard to elect
Mr. Taft as President. Ho made
campaign speeches throughout tho
country. Ho spoko in Brooklyn and
pleased a largo audience by a re
cital of what Mr. Roosevelt had ac
complished and how tho good work
would bo continued under Mr. Taft.
Mr. Garfield had an idea that ho
might bo kept as Secretary of tho
Interior In tho Taft administration.
Mr. Roosevolt had said something to
the effect that the olcctlon of Taft
would mean the continuation of
"the same policies, the same office
holders and everything." Mr. Hal
Unger was chosen to take Mr. Gar
field's place.

THK WOMAN' IN THK CASH.
It takes mlsfortuno to show tho
stuff of which men and women aro
made, and stress of circumstance
ofttliucs develops heroism In unex
pected qunrt,crs. Wo nro prono to
look upon the woman crndlcd In lux
ury ns a spineless creature, but the
plucky fight which Mrs. C. W. Morse
is mnklng for her husbnnd's liberty
which Ada Patterson tells all about
In Human Life for March will alter
tills opinion.
At the beginning of the bnnkcr's
troubles Mrs. Morse wns not so large
a figure on the horizon of his hopes
not until nfter ho had been in the
Tombs for some months nnd sho had
performed a feat which his attorney
had declared to be Impossible.
When the nvalancho of ruin enme,
nnd all the glittering prizes of life
had seemingly slipped from her
grasp, the gold of her character and
her strength nnd resourcefulness
came to the surface, and her hus
band in his dreary cell Is building
his hopes on the unique nnd far
reaching work that she is directing
from her little office In Wall street.

WILL INTEREST EVERY
JUSTICE OF PEACE
"In ItelutiiiK to Surety of the Peace
and Defining the Procedure in
Such Cases."
(Every surety peace case that came
up before the last session of the
Lackawanna county courts was dis
missed by the court for non-compliance
with the Act of 1909).
Commonwealth vs. Fred Young.
In the Court of Quarter Sessions of
Wayne County. No. 1G, Jan. Ses
sions, 1910. Surety of the Peace.
This case comes before the court
upon a motion to quash tho
transcript for the reason that it
does not show that the provisions
of tho Act of Assembly approved
March IS, 1909, "relating to
surety of the peace and defining
the procedure in such cases,"
were complied with.
Prior to this act, surety of the
peace was demandable of right .
before a Justice of the Peace by
any Individual who thought him
self In danger of being hurt in
person or estate and would make
the necessary oath, and the Jus
tice's only duty and authority
was to bind the defendant, with
one sufficient security, to appear
at the next sessions. See Com
monwealth vs. Snyder, 13 Pa.
County Court Reports, page 000.
Also Sardo v. Crovt, C J. of P. 74
( 1905), Doty, P. J.
The Act of 1909, however, has
made a complete and radical
change in tho practice relating
to surety of the peace. At last
term of court, we dismissed the
case of Commonwealth vs. Kieg
ler, a surety of the peace case,
for the reason that the transcript
did not show that the Act of
1909 had been complied with,
and that Justices of the Peace
may understand what transcripts
in surety of the peace eases In
the future must show, we write
this opinion.
Formerly surety of the peace
was subject to every great abuse
and entailed great expense upon
the county and upon tho parties
concerned and was productive of
great and needless ill feeling.
The Act of 1909 recognizes this
abuse in the preamble, which is as
follows:
"Whereas, The oatli which
warrants the arrest of one who
shall' threaten the person of an
other, and his binding over to the
next term of tho quarter sessions
court and to keep tho peace In
tho meantime, is often hastily
and thoughtlessly made; and
great costs unjustly put upon the
several counties of the Common
wealth by having many trivial
cases sont to court, therefore to
remedy tills evil ." etc.
Under this Act, the transcript
of the Justice should show, as
provided by Section three, that
ho afforded an opportunity and
suggested to tho parties tho pro
priety of compromising their
differences boforo entering Into a
hearing, and tho transcript should
nlso show, that before uny hear
ing was had tho Justice was un
nblo to havo tho parties com
promise their differences, though
tho fact might bo Implied if ho
had afforded them tho opportun
ity nnd suggestion for thnt pur
pose The transcript should nlso Bhow,
as provided by section one, that
tho JuBtlco, boforo ho binds any
one over to tho next Quarter Ses
sions to keep tho peace upon the
oath of another, has entored in
to a full hearing nnd investiga
tion of the facts, and nlso should
show that evldenco was produced,
satisfactory to him, that tho
prosecutor's or prosecutrix's dan
ger of being hurt in body or es
tate is actual and that the threats
woro made by tho defendant mal
iciously and with latent to do
harm. To bo satisfied upon this
point, ho should henr tho evidence
of tho prosecutor nnd his wit
nesses nnd nlso should hear tho
evidence of the defendant If ho
desires to bo henrd. Ho Is not
obliged to tako the evidence of
tho prosecutor nnd his witnesses
ns of verity, but ho must find that
tho complaint was miftlo for due
causo and thnt the danger of be
ing hurt In body or estate Is act
ual and genuine, not merely man
ufactured for tho occasion, nnd
this must ho determined by him
under all the evidence. While
the transcript should show the
foreolng facts, It need not, how
ever, show tho evidence by which
they nrc suhstnntlnted. See Com
monwealth vs. Coxson, IS Dist.
R. 890.
Section two of tills Act pro
vides, "In nil rases where tho
evldenco does not show that the
threats were maliciously niado by
the defendant nnd with intent to
do harm and that tho prosecutor
is actually in danger of being
hurt In body or estate. It shall
bo the duty of the Justice to dis
charge tho defendant and then
determine by whom the costs
should.be paid; and In determin
ing tho question of the payment
of tho costs he may find, that the
prosecutor pay them all, that the
defendant pay them all, or that
the prosecutor and defendant
pay them In equnl or unequal pro
portions; and, In default of pay
ment, may commit the person or
persons adjudged to pay tho
costs to the county jail until they
are paid, or until such person is
discharged according to law.
We think, by studying the Act
Itself and following the rules
herein laid down, the transcripts
which may he returned to the
Court will be sustained, and that
after such hearing and investiga
tion as the Act of Assembly di
rects, few cases will be sent to
court, as experience lias shown
that there is little need for sure
ty of the peace when there has
been sufficient time for the tem
per of the parties concerned to
subside, and there are very few
cases where the prosecutor is in
any real danger of being hurt in
body or estate.
The record In this case does not
comply in any respect with the
Act of 1909 and therefore the
executions are sustained and the
proceedings dismissed, and as the
practice under this Act is new, we
direct that tho officers' costs,
amounting to $5.39, and the fees
of the Clerk of the Court, amount
ing to ?2.50, bo paid by the coun
ty, and no other fees or costs be
taxed.

INSPECTOR SEIZES CATTLE.
Ill-ought Over From (inlllcc, Tills
County,
Considerable excitement wns
created in Cnlllcoon last week by
tho selzuro of alleged diseased cattle
by a State Inspector.
Tho populntlon here wns about
evenly divided ns to whether tho cat
tle were diseased or not; and yet,
no one seemed to be absolutely sure
about it not even the Inspector
himsolf, for ho seized the cattle and
then concluded ho wns wrong nnd
let them go.
Not since the Game Wnrdons came
hero nnd put a crimp in the eel mar
ket has there been' so much street
gossip and palaver about n local
affair.
John Walker, of Galilee, owns a
largo dairy, nnd sometime ngo some
of his cattlo apparently contracted
a contagious disease. Ho separated
tho Infected cows from tho herd nnd
doctored them for somo time, but
without much success, according to
his belief.
They gradually grew worse and,
in consideration of the fact thnt he
really believed that they were dis
eased, ho decided to sell them for
whntover purpose they could be used.
Ho accordingly sought buyers, and
V. P. ("Tine") Scheidell. of Jeffer
sonvillo, made him the best offer,
?22 per head for twelve well-bred
Holstlno cows. Mr. Walker claim
ed that he sold the cows as diseased
cattle.
According to reports of local "ex
ports," some of tho cows, were eas
ily worth $60 a head, providing they
woro In good health.
On Wednesday Scheidell drove the
cattle from the Walker farm to the
Delaware House stables, preparatory
to shipping them to the abattoir in
Jersey City.
In the meantime State Inspector
Fulton, a former Sheriff, who
runs a store at Wurtsboro, happen
ed on the scene and, claiming that
the cattlo were diseased, took charge
of them.
It is said that Inspector Fulton
came hero to look into a bob veal
case, but the wise ones say that ho
was informed that these cattle were
