Bank Examiner Miller on Friday
afternoon committed suicide in Al
toona by shooting himself through
the temple. The cause is attributed
to trouble in sitting out the perplex-
tiles of the Second National Bank
muddle.
Nathan G. Schaffer, State superin-
tendent of public instruction, said
in Pittsburg last week I'm my
next report to the Legislature 1 will
ask for q school census, which will
be the first step for compulsory ed
ucation. l will ask that assessors
be instructed to inquire as to the
number of births in families and in
this way the county authorities will
know the age of children and wheth-
er they should be in school. L will
recommend that all schools be clos
ed in districts where the population
has so decreased that there are but
few scholars in each school and
that the State provide tran sporta-
tion for the pupils to the nearest
schools"
A successful Jail delivery was
effected at Huntingdon Tuesday
night, making ten prisoners who
have given Sheriff Oaks the slip
within year and q half. John
Beatty, Robert Deamitt, and John
Spooneybarger, prisoners, carried a
long table into the Jail yard and,
piling several boxes upon it, reach
ed the top of the main wall and
jumped over. Beatty, who had
acted in the capacity of turnkey,
although n prisoner, carried off the
Jail and cell keys with him. and the
services of the local police were
needed to guard against the escape
of the other prisoners, who had to
be huddled together in the main
corridor.

The latest sensation of the day in Paris

a novel bet made between two leading
hghts of the fashionabl jockey club in
mat city. 1t came about in this way:
Durins dinner giving in honor of the
winner of the grand autumn races the
guests began to tell stories OF fine horse
lnanship. An elderly officer present said
mat he thought the young men of this
seneration did not ride so well as they
uid in the good old days. This led to an
animated dispute, which ended by Max
Leoaudy Offering to bet that he knew a
,ady rider that could do anything with
morse that any man Of this or any genera
ion had done
The old officer accepted the bet, stipulat-
ing that the lady should ride her horse
INTO the banquet hall ana take a flying leap
over the table without disturbing or
,g4ehing the Wine bottles. flowers, or any
.9'hg else on the table. Nobody dreamed

other is a limb wrenched while loaded
with fruit from the parent stock, during

of 1916 and which, from an elbow thrust
into the moist. rich SOIL took root and be-

trees the finest Of the Greening family,

4 Useful PYTHON.

From Three Years With Lobengula.
Once. while passing through a Dutch
farm. went up to the house to buy some
eggs; standing in front of the door was
large barrel, and while passing l care
lessly tilted it up to see what was inside,
but promptly let it down again, as there
was big python underneath. The Dutch
man told me he had shot at the snake
some months previously, and few grains
entering the head, the reptile appeared
to become stupefied and unable to move
quickly He then dragged it home, and
extricated the fangs, and 1t gradually be-
came tame. The python. which measured
sixteen feet, was allowed to crawl about
the place at night, never attempting to
get away or do any DANA ge; in fact, they
found il useful for Killing rats and YER
min. BY day it was kept under the bar
rel. The children fed the snake. and
ulavcd with il. | saw one of the little
Dutch boys drag it out, and pour two
bottles of milk down its throat, and then
gave it six eggs. which it swallowed.
When they leased the python 1t made
kissing noise and reared UP on its tail;
they were not bit frightened, and would
catch hold of it by the head and drag it
along the ground over their shoulders.

Constantlnope. by reason of her position
midway between the east and the west,
between the north ana the south is the
natural entrepot of the commerce Of the
world, whose monopoly belongs by right to
her. She thinks that II Russia obtained
possession OF conatantinople, she would
become the preponderant power In Eu-
rope would eclipse the British Empire,
and would perhaps soon aim n deadly
blow az her commerce. She thinks that III
she cannot establish herself at Constantf-
nople, she must at all hazards maintain
there the sultan who is her mere protege,
her vaasal. and from whom she can obtain
almost anything she wishes. Such are the
thoughts Of England. which also in some
measure rise 20 the surface, because the
form Of her government does not admit
OF as much mystery as in the case of Rus
sia.
Is England strong enough by herself to
prevent Russia from establishing herself
az Constantinople? THAT Is not probable,
but she relies upon the general sentiment
Of Europe, which would protest against
the colossus OF he north taking such a
prodigious extension. Even Germany,
whatever may have been the promises
made by William TO the guiding spirit of
would not allow Russia TO ele-
waite herself to the position of mis-
tress of the continent She must therefore
postpone for the present her hopes and am
billions Would she be sufficiently strong
TO oppose unaided the occupation Of Con-
stantinople by England. We believe she
would, with her 5000. 900 of soldiers and her
powerful navy; but England Is too polite
thus to brave European public opinion:
she knows that IL Is much more prudent
for her to augment little by little her in
huence and to transform II gradually into
o. protectorate, than TO risk an adventure
from which she might retire beaten and
dishOnored.
The city Of Constantine, II we rightly
Judge present appearances, will therefore
be neither Russian nor English But Is
this q reason why IL should remain for ever
Turkish BY no means. The Turks are
lazy fanatics who have never known
how to take advantage of the inestimable
jewel upon which they laid hands in the
fifteenth century. This great city must
rise above the marasmus and degradation
into which II has fallen under the yoke
liberty. Constantinople has been the cap
ital of the Roman Empire. the capital OF
the Greek EmDre. and she is still the
capital of the Mussulman world IT Is her
destiny TO be q captal; why then should
she not become that of the European
world or rather of the whole civilization
Of the ancient world2 1t should be hence
forth admitted that no nation may claim
her for its own USE for its own exclusive
benefit.
why then. we ask. should not all the ma
a universal congress where all their inter-
ests would be represented, and where all
disputes would be adjusted by means of
arbitration A little serious reflection win
show that such a. solution IS by no means
paradOXical, hut that, on the contrary IL

the apple Of discord into a perpetual pledge
Of peace and harmony

Sweet hand that, held in mine.
Seems the old thing l cannot live With
out
The souls anchorage in this storm and
doubt,
I take thee as the sign
of sweeter days in store
For life. and more than life, when life is
done,
And thy soft pressure leads me gently on
To heavens own evermore.
I have not much to say,
Nor any words that fit such fond request;
Let my blood speak TO thine and hear the
rest
Some silent heartward way.
Thrice blessed the faithful hand
Which saves cen while it blesses; hold me
fast;
Let me not go beneath the floods at last,
So near the better land.
Sweet hand that thus in mine.
Seems the one thing 1 cannot live without,
My hearts one anchor in life's storm and
doubt,
Take this and make me thine.

There is really, says the New York
Press when one comes TO think OF II, no
end of things that this apparently care
free girl debutante must be busy with
learning. One is to drop most of her
school girl slang and be rather more care
full with her sentences. Another is to steer
carefully between the danger of being
"giddy gusher" or a tiresome young prig.
To learn that notes must be answered at
once and all engagements carefully kept,
even if they happen not to be amusing
ones. She must learn, too, the hard lessons
of governing her tongue, and being dis
Greet in her talk, lest she ALLEVIATE friends
and get herself into difficulties, which is,
nerhaps. the most difficult lesson of all.
Then there is the lesson to be learned of
not looking bored every time one feels
The sensation lest one wound the feel
ines of kindly people who are unfortunate
enough to be dull. 1t will be necessary to
teach herself how to be rid of the bOres
without being rude, which is a whole art
in itself. and again how to meet all imper-
thence with dignity, and how to relieve
the sbvness of tirnid people with her own
calm, confidence. Let the debutante never
think that lessons ended with the closing
of the school room door; indeed now that
she is a gay young woman in society, they
are really Just beginning, and viii take
more study and are far more difficult to
learn than any she ever found in books.
