The Teacher.

To enkindle in the mind of youth a
resolution to excel, to become great in
the noblest sense of the term, and to
place him on the path to usefulness and
honor, is certainly an occupation worthy
of the greatest minds.
Scratch the green rind of a sapling, F"
said Henry Ward Beecher, ''or wan
tonly twist it in the soil, and SCARED or
crooked oak will tell of the act for
centuries to come. So it is with the
teachings of youth, which make i'm
pressions on the mind and heart that
are to last forever"
A teacher should be kind and sympa-
thetic He should be lover of truth
and justice and all manly virtues. He
should love his profession and realize
that he is the architect of human souls
And when such a man is found h.
should be generously rewarded and re-
tired on liberal pension when too old
for service. Spirit

coughs cI wish this cough didn't
bother me So" they say. III wish my
cough didn't keep me awake so much"
and so on. 1t never seems to occur to
them that it takes active measures to get
rid of cough that a cough is like
weed, growing right along, and the
longer It grows the deeper it strikes its
roots.
If man heard the alarm of a rattle
snake near by he'd jump aside at once
to avoid the attack and then seek TO
find and destroy the dangerous reptile.
The cough is danger alarm as much
more significant than the rattle OF the
snake as the disease it heralds is more
dangerous than the snake bite.
FEW PEOPLE ARE KILLED
by snake bites each year. Consumption
siays its thousands and tens of thousands
annually and it is the fatality OF con-
sumption which makes the cough that
heralds it a danger signal to be promptly
needed. Don't wish the cough would
stop. Stop it
"I had long been a sufferer from
chronic catarrh of the head" says Chas.

Sudden Death of DIR. Barr.

This community was shocked last Sat
urday to learn of the sudden death or
DR.. J. c. Barr of Mars, which occurred
while the doctor was visiting patient
at De Haven. the previous evening: he
was called to that place, drove there,
and fell dead while counting his pa
tents pulse.
Some years age DR.. Barr would occa-
sionally complain of or mention n weak
ness of the heart, but since his trip to
Europe of summer before last, he has
seemed in perfect health.
His funeral took place from his resi-
dence in Mars, Monday, and was large
ly attended.
His wife and two children survive
him. He was 43 years of age, was one
of the Board of Pension examiners for
this county, was son of Andrew Barr,
decd, of Cranberry twp. and was well
and favorably known throughout the
county

Gen. Davis is to succeed Gen. Chaffee
in the Philippines. Gen. Smith was
censured and placed on the retired list
for issuing his kill and burn" order in
Samar.
As to the proposed purchase by the
government of the lands of the Friars
or Monks in the Philippines, and the
visit of Gov. Taft to the Pope at Rome,
the Observatore Romano says that the ne
gotiations between the Vatican and the
American Philippine commission were
conducted in conciliatory spirit and
with friendly Difference" on the part of
the mission.
1t further says that basis of common
understanding, which is mutually salts
factory, has now been laid down, and
that further negotiations will be devel-
oped in detail at Manila by the Apostolic
Delegate and Coy. Taft
The paper praises the initiative, loyal
ty and wisdom of the American policy.
which has thus happily achieved
success.
The Philippine Commission will on
Monday be received in farewell au-
dience by the Pope. On the evening
of that day Gov Taft and his staff will
start for Naples, where they will EN-
bark for Manila. Mgr. O'Gorman will
remain here.
The reports that the Vatican has re-
ceived of agitations in Spain render it
temporarily dangerous to come to
definitive resolution concerning the
monks in the Philippines, but the
matter will be arranged suitably by
Gov. Taft and the Apostolic Delegate at
Manila.

The Ra iIroad War.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)

Preliminary moves in what promises
to be the greatest railroad fight in his
tory have been in progress for some
weeks, and have occupied the attention
of the financial world almost to the ex-
clusiou of other events.
Should this fight be carried on to
logical conclusion there will be such a
shaking up in transportation interests
as will come well-nigh staggering
humanity" to borrow phrase of aged
Kruger. There are some good reasons
to believe that the fight will not be
carried out, but that compromise will
be arranged In any event the situa-
tion is one of unusual interest and the
result of more than passing interest,
since they lie at the base of the entire
transportation system of the country.
The parties to this contest on the
surface are George J. Gould, represent
ing the Wabash interests. and A. J.
Cassatt, representing the Pennsylvania.
1t is evident, however, that interests
even more far reaching than the mighty
ones centered in these great railway
properties are involved, and the strug-
gle, if it comes in earnest will see rang
ed on one side or the other nearly all
the great railway and banking interests
of the country.
Mr.. Gould is believed to have the
backing of Mr.. Hartman, representing
the Union -Central-Southern Pacific in
terests, together with the National City
Bank of New York, and the Standard
Oil interests. These include fnanciers
as prominent as any in New York out
side of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co.
With Mr. Cassatt is believed to be as
sociated the Vanderbilt interests and
probably Morgan & Co. 1t should be
remembered, however, that in this con-
test the Pennsylvania will have the sup
port of the Baltimore e. Ohio, which it
controles, and perhaps owns; the Chesa-
peake & Ohio, in which it has a large
interest; the Norfolk & Western, also
under its control, and perhaps the Read
ing, which, tits believed, is now pass
ing into the hands of the Baltimore q
Ohio, which would give it over to the
Pennsylvania.
