Every Ameiican should realize that
the principle of self government Is a
higher principle than that of loyalty to
the best sovereign, for It Is lidelity to
the highest good of all and to virtue,
Intelligence and God. He who shares
In tlio government gains lu moral dig
nity. His manhood Is developed by re
sponsibility. He loves and will main
tain a government iu which his own
will and Intelligent choice are involved,
lie will feel that upon his single arm,
his single voice, his single life, hangs
the preservation of the government
and the national freedom. This is the
American feeling. It burns lu every
true American breast.
England Is the only truly free coun
try of the old world, and the English
man is a free man; hut our glory Is
that humanity Itself, one and Indivisi
ble, may rise to a higher plane with
us than iu England, lu England the
son treads precisely In the footsteps of
his fathers, and It is hard for a man to
rise above the dead level of the class
of society In which he was born. There
Is an oppressive weight resting on the
spirit of the lower classes, and as long
as the absolute caste system prevails
to such an unnatural and irrational
extent the government will feel no sin
cere desire to educate the people above
their present condition. Here Is our
undeniable ground of superiority. Let
us not cast it away by allowing the
really vulgar Idea of material luxury
to overcome and overwhelm the high
er and nobler good. James M. Uop
pln in "Old England."
THE GAME OF DRAUGHTS.
So Old That It Orlicin In Lost In the
Mints of AiUIiiuKj-.
Draughts in some shape or form Is
doubtless a very ancient pastime. In
deed, the safest thing to any about it Is
that Its origin is lost In the mists of an
tiquity, ltepreseutatious of persons
playing at a game res;ml)lln:r drau-ihts
are I'reiiuently loiuid on ancient Egyp
tian monuments at least U.uiM) years
old. The Greeks had a similar game,
fro::i who;n ist.ibl.v II passed to the
lton.::::s. At le.ut the old Human game
of lati-uncull seems to have been a kind
of draughts, though It is doubtful if the
game as now played Is very ancient.
The game was popular and well knowu
In Era nee and Spain in the seventeenth
century and was probably played there
and In England centuries before that.
That It was from Trance the game
came Into many of the oilier countries
is evident from the fact that the French
name Jeu de dnnies paused with It.
Dam or dnmii:-.' was once tlie regular
English name lor one of the pieces. In
Genua uy the game is still called dame
spiel, Iu Holland the board is dambord.
and in Scotland dam'irod still survives.
In the United States the le.u usual
mime of cheijuers. spelled checkers, is
employed. PoUmu. 8;".ui-l), Itr.iii'.n nml

Ahlllty to See Everything.
A New York surgeon, says the In

with which he Is connected und bids
him look out of a window and describe
what he sees. Some men practically
see nothing nt all; others notice but a
few things, not always the most Im

observe everything. It Is from among
the latter that the successful candi

men who see everything that every art
and science Is Indebted for whatever
progress they have made, and the sur

We own and oiler (in amounts to suit purchasers) the best industrial security ever offered to
the investors of this community.
The controlling interest in Reynoldsville's new "STEEL PLANT" has recently been
purchased by Pittsburg people who are old in the successful management of large iron and
steel properties.
Necessary additions are being made to the equipment, and new and heavy machinery is
being added. Upon completion of these improvements a full line of Alligator Shears, Cold
Saws, Rolling-Mill and Contractors' Machinery will be extensively manufactured at the
Company's works, and sold from their Pittsburg offices.
The assets of the Company as re-equipped will stand at $120,000.00 in round figures,
against which the $30,000.00 of First Mortgage bonds are the first and prior lien.
The Company has issued $30,000.00 six per cent First Mortgage Gold Bonds in de
nomination of $100.00, $200.00, $500.00 and $l-j000.00 each and we, the undersigned, have
purchased a very large proportion of the entire issue.
The semi-annual interest, at the rate of six per centum, is payable on June 1st and De
cember 1st of each year, at The Peoples National Bank, Reynoldsville, Pa.
. These bonds are a first and prior lien on all of the real estate, buildings, machinery,
equipments, franchises, property and revenues of the American Production Company, and a
special condition in the mortgage provides that bonds to the amount of $2,500.00 shall be
retired every year, after the first two years.
LEGALITY
These bonds have been issued under the supervision and advice of the following attor
neys, viz : Messrs. Charles Corbett, of Brookville, Pa., Weil & Thorp, of Pittsburg, Pa.,
and G. M. McDonald, of Reynoldsville, Pa.; any of whom can vouch for the binding val
idity of these securities.
The undersigned being personally acquainted with the "STEEL PLANT" property,
consider these bonds as the best of the kind ever offered in this community, and recom
mend them as a safe investment.
Prompt subscriptions for bonds in amounts from $100.00 up will be received by the un
dersigned at the price of par and accrued interest. Allotments will be made as subscrip
tions are received, the right being reserved to cease the allotment at any time.
