NUMBER Of journalists are writing
doiefully Of the bOasted civilization of
the United States and England and are
pointing to Borelend and the PHILIPPINE
Islands as acts illustrative of the true
inwardness Of what is declared to be
the best civilization Of these times.
Just 90, they may do well by hanging
their harps on the willows and reflect
ing on the old statement that "there il
nothing new under the sum-" that the
boosted civilization is only a thin coat
50 thin indeed that it is like that of the
time Of POntius PLATE when he earn

Beaver herald, November %:
About five weeks ago bicycle was
stolen from J. d. Haines and no
trace of it could be found until last
Wednesday, when Reuben Felker
found the missing wheel near the
peach orchard leased by w. H.
Felker, along the road leading from
Adamsburg to McAlisterville, and
close to Shade mountain. 1t is
supposed that the party. who stole
it got tired pushing his prize up
the mountain and left it at the
place mentioned.
From the Altoona Tribune: Mrs.
Frank A. Garrison of Williamsport,
was operated on in that city Friday
for appendicitis. When the ap-
pendix was cut open a badly cor
rOded pin was found therein. 1t is
supposed that Mrs. Garrison swal-
lowed the pin long time ago. 1t
had entered the appendix at the
opening and had started to work
its way out at the other end, when
the point of the pin caused the ir-
ritation that made the operation
necessary.
The reelection of a republican
president and a republican con-
gress has been a stimulant to all
kinds of business and the stock
dealers have taken advantage of
the substantial state of affairs and
are initiating everything within
sight. They are the chaps who
would gamble over the coffin of
their mother for the parceling of
her estate, so take care you are not
caught by the imitation flor when |
the gamblers have the things they
are interested in, blowed up to snit |
themselves, they will suddenly
drop the imitation and down it
must come.
\ Sharon preacher resigned be.
cause one of his deacons would |
sleep every Sunday during the
preaching. The probability is the
preacher was little to sensitive.
The deacon was glad to come to
church every Sunday and the
chance to take a nap was not meant |
as an Offense or as an act of mat |
tentiOn to the preachers sermon.
1t was rather an act of confidence
that all would be right that the
preacher said and that the preach
er was so sOlidly grounded in his
theology and preaching that he
needed no watching: Then it is
said by wise men of the world that |
it is best for all concerned, if dea-
cons and elders do not hear and
see all that is going on in the con-
gregatiOn.
The democratic brethren who
were talking about trusts before |
the election should read this over
and over: Three of the largest |
cloak making firms in New York,
employing in all 1000 hands, have |
voluntarily retired from business. |
The reason assigned is that the !
competition of small manufactur-
ers and sweat.shOps is stronger
than they can withstand protitably. |
The throwing out of employment
of this large number of wOrkmen
has alarmed the Cloak Makers
Union, and a special meeting has
been called. The Democratic doe
trine that combinations of capital
and trusts, force small manufacture
ers to the wall appears to be singu-
larly reversed in this New York
condition.
The following from the Bloom
field Times of November 23 tells of ,
a long travel to go a'short distance
in Horse Valley. About hun
dred years ago or a little over that
time the first settlers went into the
valley. The west end abO.e the
" aterford NarrOws was settled
first by Thomas Lacy, Sackett %.
Fulton, John Magee, John Kenne-
dy, John ScyOc, Solomon Bower.
George johnson made some improv-
ments. Johnston built a saw-mill,
and in order to get into his mill
with team he was compelled to
drive from Germantown down to
Ickesburg, then across Run Gap,
then up through Tnscarora valley
to Concord, Franklin county; then
down through horse valley to his
mill. This is seventy-five miles
while now four miles is all that
