There are good reasons for believ-
ing that home people are buying less
of their goods away from home than
ever before. 1t is a good sign. So
long as home merchants deal fairly
and sell goods at reasonable profits it
is the duty of home people to patron
ize them. On at least half the orders
given to the mail order house the
purchaser is fooled, if not actually a
loser financially. Ifyou buy at home
ana there is anything wrong with
your purchase, you can have it made
right. Not SO, when you order away

ing man. has entered upon vacation
retired, in fact. Many years ago
he dreamed of the time when he
would cease the grind of the daily
labor without sacrificing any of the
homely comforts to which he had be-
come accustomed That day has ar
rived and now Patrick Muldoon has
nothing to do except enjoy himself.
He is SO years old and it may be that
the habit of labor has become SO firm
ly fixed upon him that idleness will
have no charm. Perhaps he may be
disappointed; anticipation may have
been altogether more than realization,
but, at any rate, there is lesson to
be learned in the life of this man.
For more than third of a CEN
tury Patrick Muldoon had labored at
wages that never exceeded $50 a
month. Yet when he settled with his
employers there was coming to him
the neat sum of 81, 200.

indeed there must come the bitter
thought that in their rash and i'm

Wasted opportunity in any form is

In old age money in itself may shrink
to a little thing. When the body
wears ont and man lives in the past,
it is the work done and the sacrifices
made that makes life still worth the
living. Patrick Muldoon worked for
thirty-six years. His place was hum

fooled away neither time nor money

THE VETS WIN OUT.

than it has been hitherto re-
mains to be seen, but the indications
are that it will not and that it will
become more or less of dead letter,
just as it has become in nearly every
section of the country IN which it has
been tried.
The Times does not question the
good intentions of the people of Ra-
valli county when they voted for To-
cal option some few months ago. 1t
knows that the people recognized the
evils of the drink habit and were
laudable in their attempt to check
the evil. There is not much to gain
from local option. 1t only drives the
men who drink behind closed doors
and creates pigs and other secret de-
vices through which mans appetite
for strong drink will be appeased.
Generally, places where liquor are
sold in secret are hundreds of times
worse than the open saloons and the
liquors disposed of are generally not
Of the best quality by any means.
Already there have been number
of attempts at conviction by the anti
saloon people of Ravalli, but there
have been but few successes. There
was no attempt made in some of the
cases to deny that the liquor had
been sold, but there was no one to
fasten the blame upon, the response
bility having been shifted from one
shoulder to another.
We do not think there has been any
less liquor sold in Ravalli county
during the months the county has
been under local option than there
was before; the liquor drummers
make their accustomed trips into that
section and they probably find GUS
toners, else they would not take the
trip up the Bitter Root for the pleas
ure there is in it, pleasant trip though
it be.
The people of Gallatin county are
now agitating the local option matte,
and according to the dispatches the
sentiment is evenly divided upon the
question. one dispatch statirg thai

Especial to Tho Times-Dispatch.)


BELLEFONTE, PA, April 2s.-Rev.
Victor Zarek, rector Of the Polish Cath
Ollie Church at Clarence. was arrested
yesterday and brought TO jail here. Ho
Is charged with having caused the death
of Andrew Sofka. a sixtecn-year-old boy,
by beating him with club on wednes-

for not attending Sunday school, and
that although he gave his reasons for
not doing So the priest struck him about
thirty times over the head and shoulders
with broom handle and when he fell
to the ground under the blows he kicked
him several times In the stomach.
The clergyman's friends say that the
boy was very unruly, and that since his
fathers death, his mother could do no.
thing with him, and had asked the priest
to take charge OF him and discipline him.
Father Zarek called the boy into his
house, the clergymans friends say, and
after talking to him, struck him a half
dozen times lightly with a ruler. 1t is
asserted that the blows could not pos
slbly have caused his death.
Information was made before Justice
j. S. Smith. at snowshoe, late Sunday
afternoon, It being reported that Father
Zarek intended to leave the country. The
warrant was placed In the hands OF

tinued his search In the neighborhood.

make any statement. His attorney made
an application for his release on a writ

are still BENG fed on this account. Want
of rain has also been detrimental 70 crops
and at the same time retarded lield Wofh,
the soil having become hard ana relrac-
tory and thereby delaying blowing consld-
erably.
Winter wheat was much injured by un-
favorable weather during the week. IN
middle Virginia counties, also III TIDE
water and some localities of the great
Valley section, there was practicallyE =,
advance, while in lowlands some i Is ,.s
have bad color and are falling off IN
condition. In the Valley division, how
ever, the major part Of the wheat crop,
especially that early seeded Is still IN
fair order, and d few correspondent re-
port an Improvement In condition, desplte
the adverse weather..
Winter oats are In poor condition gen
orally. Where not winter-killed, germl-
nation appears to have been irregular,
and the fields are thin and uneven. In
some localities the crop will be ploWed
up and the land seeded to other crops.
Spring oats seeding made some progress
during the week. In some counties IN the
western and central portions of the State
seeding was finished. EARLY sown fields
are coming up, but growth has been slow.
Corn planting is progressing slowly but
steadily. There has been some difficulty
in breaking the land on account OF Its
hard and dry condition, but the work Is
advancing. Locally, planting Is finished.
Potatoes Qrish) suffered considerable
injury from the frost and cold weather.
In the ,rdewater district, where a large
acreage had been planted, the vines OF
that portion of the crop advanced enough
to appear above ground were bitten BY
the frost, while some Of the later planting
rotted in the ground. Much replantinS
will be necessary.
Truck crops We're also much Injured by
frost. English peas were cut down locally
and spinach was nipped. Strawberry
vines and bloom were damaged extern
sivey.
Fruit throughout Underwater and middle
Virginia counties is generally reported as
killed. SO far as peaches, pears plums
and some early blooming varieties of ar
pies are concerned. In the Valley di-
vision most of the peach, pear and cherry
bloom has been killed: also some of the
apple bloom, but the generally backward
state Of orchards In that section has saved
most OF the apples 50 far.
