HELLOl "LITTLE HATCHEI,."

4 gentleman hunting recently in
the pine woods Of California was wit
ness to the following occurrence: A
big grizzly bear started to walk around
pine tree and caught up with his own
hindquarters. Thinking they belong
ed to another bear, he opened war on
his own rear with tooth an toe-nail.
When he felt himself clawing himself
be thought, Of course, that it was the
other bear, and ehawcd the harder.
He never discovered his mistake until
he bad swallowed himself clear down
to his ears, and then it was TOD late to
retreat.-Ajta CaIJoraia.
We asked our friend 'sOberon" if
he.believed that, when he coolly in
formed US that he was the gentleman
referred to. That when the bear dis
covered his error astonishment in hi:
eyes was painted as clear as a patent

ever, having gone thus far he finished
himself Of, and as "0beroa" slid up a
tree 10 command a better view Of the
situation, the bear sat down and com
menced to pick his teeth with his toe
nails. 1t was fully two hours before
"Oberon" would come down for fear
Of interrupting the bears meditations;
in the meantime the bear had moved
away.

battle, will take place on the histor-

Thursday, September IL and IL.
There seemed to have been some
misunderstanding as to the exact
date, but September II and IL is the
proper time. All those who belong.

Henry K. Boyer for Treasurer

The Republican State Convention
which met Mt Harrisburg on We'd
nesday of last week nominated
Speaker Henry X. Boyer for State
Treasurer without n hitch. One
Of the youngest candidates ever
nominated for Office in Pennsylva-
MIA is Henry Kline Boyer, who will
lead the Republican hosts of the old
Keystone State to victory this year.
Years of service in the House of
Representatives, during which he
served on committees dealing with
the question of State finances, have
well fitted him for the position of
State Treasurer. and he will enter
upon it's duties thoroughly equip
ped in every way to make his adj
ministration n success. His is no
ordinary nomination. II was not
made after hard fight, in which
bitterness was engendered. II had
no opposition. The people knew the
faithful, honest servant, and said
Come up higher" just reward to
Il good man. 1t was IL spontaneous
call from the entire people, and the
convention of to-day merely ratified
II nomination that had already been
made by the rank and file. 1t is a
matter of congratulation to the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania that
it contains in its ranks such material
from which to select the public Off
GERS. They never betray trust,
and administer the affairs off the
State honestly. Henry X. Boyer is
that kind of man. He should have
II great majority, to accord with his
distinguished merits.
We place the name of the COM
ming State Treasurer at the head of
our column and underneath that of
our County Surveyor, James Mid
dleswarth. Mr.. Middleswarth is
too well known all over Snyder
county as an honest and competent
official to require any recommoda-
tion from us. He has so faithfully
filed the Office that he will hardly
have any opposition. So far as the
number of the candidates for elec.
tion this fall is concerned it is an of
year, but large Republican vote is
none the less important. This is
the year for preparing for victory

all other channels of crime the guilty
party is held and punished as the
criminals but the drunkard, who
has less excuse for his crime than
most other offenders, is treated by
sentimental reformers as the ihno-
cent victim of the rum-seller, and
those whom the law authorizes to
sell liquors, even il entirely law
abiding, are denounced as the au-
thors of the now common crime of
drunkenness.
Drunkenness is crime against
both the moral and the civil law, and
it is among the least excusable of
crimes. Every man who makes him.
self n drunkard does it in the face
of the fullest knowledge of his sole
responsibility for his double offense
against himself and against society.
There is not n hopeless vagrant
drunkard in the land who did not
depart from the path of sobriety
down the thorny way of dissipation
with his eyes open and his senses
admonishing him at every step OF
his peril All the safeguards that
the affection of home and the re.
spect of friends could throw about
him were exhausted to make him
desist from the crime that brutaliz-
ed him in his best days and has now
left him little of the semblance OF
the manhood given him by his Gre
ator. These degraded wretches
merit sincere pity for their crimes
against themselves, against affec-
ton, against respect and against
society but they are none the less
criminals than are the equally per-
verted and debauched burglar or
highwayman, and the law very Just
ly permits no plea of drunkenness
in mitigation of serious crimes.
II is time to halt the idiotic senti-
mentality that treats the drunkard
as the hapless victim of the rum
seller The rumseller has his re-
sponsibility, both i'll law and in
morals. but it does not in any de-
gree, lessen the responsibility of the
drunkard for the crime of brutaliz-
ing himself and assailing the good
order and safety of society, and
there should be stern and certain
punishment for the crime of drunk
enness. The State of Minnesota
has already clearly defined the crime
of drunkenness by statute with Sc
we're penalties for every violation of
sobriety as violation of law, and
the sooner that like laws are enact
ed in all the States of the Union,
the sooner will the most practical
and the most just methods beadopt-
ed to suppress one of our common
est and most demoralizing crimes.

Should Drunkenness be Pun
ished.

The free and exhaustive discus
sion of the evils of drunkenness
during the last few year has devel-
oped searching inquiry into the
question of treating drunkenness as
crime against society. Most of
the agitation for public sobriety has
been directed against the keepers of
hotels and saloons as if they were
the criminals, while the drunkard
who willfully brutalizes himself has
been treated rs the innocent victim
of the rum-seller. Now, the ques-
ton of sternly Furnishing drunken
ness as II crime is very generally dis
cussed, and with strong tendency
Of public sentiment to demand the
recognition of drunkenness rs II
crime for which the drunkard is re-
sponsible, and punish him with such
severity as would be likely to re-
press this very common vice.
II is simply the sickliest of senti-
mentality to treat the drunkard as
the helpless victim of the rumseller.
He is tempted, of course, by the
gilded saloon and by social customs
to cultivate and crafty his appetite
for intoxicating drinks but who

Open Your Windows.

An extraordinary fallacy is the
dread of night air. What air can we
breathe mt night but night air? The
choice is between pure night air
from without and foul air within.
Most people prefer the latter-an
unaccountable choice. What will
they say if it is proved to be true
that fully one-half of all the diseases
we suffer from are occasioned by
people sleeping with their windows
shut Z? An open window most nights
In the year can never hurt anyone.
In great cities night air is often the
best and purest to be had in twen-
ty-four hours. One could better
understand shutting the windows
in town during the day than during
the night for the sake of the sick.
The absence of smoke, the quiet, all
tend to make the night the best time
for airing the patient. One of our
highest medical authorities on con-
sumption and climate has told me
that the air of London is never so
good as after ten o'clock at night
Always air your room, then, from
the outside air, if possible. Win
dows are made to open, doors are
made to be shut-a truth which
seems extremely difficult of appre-
hension. Every room must be aired
from without, every passage from
within.
