THE EASIEST THING TO FIND.

The only thing that can easly be found where
it does not exist is fault. That is, you cal easily
find it in others But in yourself, though you be
blackened with it, you can't see it easily.
If the other fellow has II fault-and sometimes
if be hasn't-you quick to perceive it.
You necessarily find fault with the weather 1t
is either too warm or too cold, too wet or too dry.
too sunny or too cloudy, and you have good deal
to say about it.
And the times suit you. It's either hard
times, or else some other people are making too
much money by the methods you don't know any
thing about and so don't approve. Deep in your
subconsciousness you are quite sure that money
making which you can't comprehend and can't imi-
tate can't be honest.
And the Government is all wrong too, in your
opinion. AS a matter of fact, you may confess to
yourself that you unable to vote with real dis
elimination for county sheriff, but you do think you
know all about running the National Government
and settling all international differences.
You may be loudly preaching for worldwide
peace when you can't get along amicably with your
own wife. You may not be able successfully to
run little corner grocery, but you think you know
all about regulating the big trusts. You don't
know what are the elements of failure in your own
business affairs, but you think you know just ex-
actly what are the faults of the great railroads
The trouble with you is easily diagnosed 1t
is one of the most common disorders under the SUM-
You ''arsighted' in your mental vision You
see on y the things that are beyond the reach of
your hands and are blind to those that lie about
you. You the faults of the other fellow, but
not your own.

A CONTEMPORARIES IDEA.

The enterprisng ''Erie Daily Tines proposes
to rebuke Governor Pennypacker for his unjust at
titude toward the newspapers in most effective
way. ''Governor Pennypacker has thrown down
the gauntlet, our esteemed contemporary declares
''and evidently not single recognized leader of the
State has had the courage to say word in defence
of the newspapers that have been G, o. most of
their work for many years" Under the circum-
Stances the esteemed 'ETimes' declares that it
thinks sat Is time for the newspaper fraternity to
get together and make the issue once and for all :"
Our contemporary would make Governor out
of a distinguished newspaper editor. 1t would select
for the service "a hgh-toned, fearless citizen of
PennSy ylvana who Is as true steel and who knows
the needs OF the State" 1t would place in the
office ga broad-mnded citizen, instead of one who
Is SO narrow that he cannot beyond his own lit
tie, narrow self" 1t believes, moreover that sthe
newspaper profession has such men, plenty of
thcm." In proof of its proposition it names as its
choice for the occasion 'the Hon. Charles Emory
Smith, of the Philadelphia ''Press," who it adds
finally, 'would tower head and shoulders above any
Governor that has filled the Gubernatoral chair
since the days Of Andrew Curtin"
Mr.. Smith is good man, but we have had
several able Governors since the Chief Magistrate
OF the PERIOD that there is no necessity for
mvldIous comparisons. There was Henry NJ Hoyt,
for example, and Robert e. Pattison one of each
party, and few men tower over them. Besides
Mr.. Smiths mental view doesn't extend so far or
spread out so wide to make him tolerate in others
what he commends in himself For example he
never can excuse what he calls ballot frauds in the
South though he encourages far greater frauds in
Philadelphia. lie is strong man, no doubt and
has performed good public service But he isn't as

Change in Temperature.

The change in the temperature yes
terday was very satisfactory to the
residents of this section. When com
pared with that of the previous week
it was spring-lke.
TIE air was mild and balmy. AT
noon the thermometer in front of the
Gillaspy House, registered 80 degrees
above zero. 1t was one of the most dc
lightful days of the season. Ice and
snow melted rapidly under the rays OF
the warm sun shining from clear and
unc!ouded sky. In places water ac.
cunulatGd on the streets. and at Ger.
tain points crossings and thorough.
fares became quite muddy.
AS result of tie change from cold
to warmer weather, the river condi-
tions were greatly bettered The ice
foo was not SO heavy rs it had been,
cons equently the launches crossed with
far less difficulty and danger. They
did good business, and xhe peoDle OF
South Dauville were letter satisfit d
with tho situation of affairs than they
have been i'll long tine. IF the res
ent weather continues for few DAYS,
the water will become entiIe,y clear
of ice, and the crossing of boats made
still easier.

IT DOES APPEAR STRANGE.

Is honesty the best policy for us to pursue at
all times.
The Intelligencer, ever since it came under the
control of the hand of the present publisher, has
been recognized to be fearless and unapproachable
We are known to follow the motto carried at the
head of the paper, and for this reason, and this
only, are we passed by number of persons, of our
own purity, who have legal or other printing to be
done.
The effort that is exercised to present the best
possible paper for readers, should place us first
in The hearts of a-Repubcans and Democrats
aik for there is no other paper in the county its
equal In fact all the rest fall far short of meeting
its standard
Are our efforts appreciated!
Can any reader realize the force of men, the
talent the great labor and expense that are required
to produce single issue of this paper in its pres
ent form The publisher has done his best to please
YOU
While weekly paper in a small county like
Montour, must almost be necessarily small. The
lnteiligencer compares favorably with the ideal
paper of the twentieth century. While we have
made this effort to better please our readers, we
discovered the other day man, county officer
whD thought that because much of our matter was

county Democrats last spring, to have small
sheet, that contained two or three columns of her
own matter, recognized the ORGAN of the
county, against the Intcligencer which appears
with from twenty to twentysiX large columns of
local and the best State and National news. How
ridiculous
Were | Republican and the Inteiligencer to
appear it does, would that condemn the paper !
No. it would still be Democratic
The paper goes on its merits.
These all tmsy excuses. There is some
thing wrong. The value of the Intelligencer is
fully known. But there is no ''rake-of" comes
from this office. Do you see it, fellow citizens!

COLLEGE GIRLS AND MOTHERHOOD

The scolding which Prof. g. Stanley Hall has
Just administered to collego-bred spnsters in an adj
dress at Baltimore rests upon the assumption that q
great body of gentle gra Gates has deliberately pre-
ferred singleness and culture to marriage and ma
ternty.
This is curiously generalizing proposition to
come from so observant Il scientist the author of
adolescence" 1t is to be feared that the burden
of proof will be found trife heavy if the professor
shall decide not to dodge it.
: Indeed, the whole case of the higher education
versus motherhood is so largely theoretical that it
Is rash advocate who takes it up with asscrlive-
ness. DR.. Mary Roberts Smith made a severe i'm
preston upon one phase of it in 1900 by citing from
equal walks in life the instances of more than 700
wives nearly half of whom were coIlege-taucht
The highly educated mothers had married two
years later, but had just many and as fine chill
dren as the others-and more of the children were
boys
As matter of fact, the eventual solution of
the 'race-suicde" issue will be drawn not from con
slderaton of what any woman has learned at school
but from observation and direction of how the great
masses of people live. There is far more practical
philosophy in Mr. Phipps's mediterranean founda-
ton than in Prof Halls scoldng of college spin.

infancy than to rail because more babies are not

BROKE THE ICE FOR A SWIM
Michael Larkin Conquered Consump-
ton by Heroic Treatment.

With the mercury below freezing,
Michael Larkin, of Lowell, Mass,
broke the ice in Echo Bay, on the
Sound, and went bathing yesterday
afternoon. Clad only in a woollen
bathing suit, he swan out about
twenty yards in the Sound, while a
score of people who had gathered at
the beach to watch the exhibition
snapped their cameras at him.
After staying in the icy water about
five minutes Larkin came ashore to
the bathing-house, where he was rub
b d down with alcohol, and returned
to town none the worse for his ex
perience. Larkin began his winter
baths about five years ago. At that
time he says he was suffering from
consumption. The baths, he believ-
es, saved his life. lie afterw ard took
to sleeping in the woods and living
on carrots, onions and vegetables He
is in good health now.

A BAD HABIT.

The world is full of bitterness and strife.
Scarcely day passes but you are compelled to
listen to bitter arraignment of this movement, or
frenzled attack upon that person. Judgment of
anothers motive, rather misjudgment of the
same has been brought down to a fine art-the art
of wilfu misconstruction and sinful deductions To
misconstrue wlfully and deduce falsely regarding
the motive of another, is to engage in the black art
of the villifer and sanderer. The Christ said at
time to his diciples that whenever and wherever
two or more of them should meet in His name He
would be in their midst But if the Saviour of
mankind has promised to sanctfy with His holy
presence those who hold counsel in His name the
anti-Chrst and arch enemy of man. the devil, must
be glorilied in maligant joy to find that many, too
many, so called Christians care little for the pre-
cepts of Him who to teach the gospel of peace
purity, and pety. For is it not fact, borne out
and proved by your own experience, that often too
often, the conversations carried on at informal
councils of friends and associates lack of edfcation
and smack of dehement-defement of another's name
and fame And this is done iippantly, carelessly
and ceaselessy in the face of, and in spite of the
divine injunction. ''Judge not lest We also be
judged" 1t is done by legons who have been born
of Christian parents, reared in Christian homes Il,
taught in the schools of Christian nation Despite
this birth and education the black art of defamation
is dehantly and insolenty practiced by leigons of
professed and sef-confessed Christians And the
parable of the wolf in sleeps clothing has another
apt, and not too far fetched, application.

Thousands of Rats in Prison.

Rats by the hundreds and by the
thousands have found happy home
in the Sudbury Jail for many genera
tions, but now their sweet seclusion i 8
disturbed by the rude hand of man.
They have Iomped and roamed at will
through the PRISON corridors. In fond
imagination they have grown to re-
garl the delightful recessos of that
charming citadel as their aucestiil
hall. But heartless and unpoetic man
has sounded the death knell of the
rodent = fondest dream.
George Stecker, of Mount Carmel. is
tho invader. He is cement contract
or, and is laying concrete floors in the
Northumbcrlaud county prison. Wood
en- floors that have been uAtouche
since the jail was built are being torn
up and replaced by the more modern
material.
As the army of workmen have pro-
ceeded with tearing up the floors.
thousands of rats have been encouut-
cred. The men have been killing them
off as rapidly as possible, aud in the
massacre material assistance las been
rendered by corps of competent dogs.
On Tuesday OF last week, according
to actual count, over three thousand
rats were slain. Mr.. Stecker and 9TH
er gentlemen of undoubted veracity
are authority for this statement.
The merciless destruction of tho rats
may form the subject matter for ma
tue contemplation. The long. tailed,
ebon-oyed, noctlrnal ranger had be-
come fixture at the jail, and every
man or woman or child who has there.
in found haven of rest will never
permit fond remembrance to dwell up
on the delightful associations there
without expressing well wishes for
the little animals who were such close
and constant companions.
Long term guests at this summer and
winter resort who have grown to re-
gard conditions there as homelike will
find it all additional hardship to ac-
custom themselves to life without
rats. We cannot believe that the pris-
on authorities lave any warrant to
thus with impunity add punishment
to the life of the prisoner. Perhaps
they have neglected to devote to this
matter the due consideration it de-
served.
Unhappy felon No longer will he
awake during the long vigils of the
night, and muse
''In the prison cell sit,
Watching rodents as they fit;
Joy is mine in this old Jail.
Squirting at my pet rats tail. "
