Games help to form character to a
wonderful extent, and l do not know
any means by which you can so quick
" arrive at an estimate of human
character, Of individuality, of person
ality, as you can by watching people at
games or engaged In any sport that
calls for endurance, patience, celerity
of mind and body. The school with a
good record for games Is almost al
ways IN the front rank of scholarship.

minor MATTERS
on INTEREST

A number of our exchanges are per
turbed over the fact that the Montour
County Jail is empty. With the record
Of their own counties before them
these editors can not understand how
suoh things can be and imagine that
somebody must be derelect. The " Har-
risburg Telegraph" relieves itself as
fellows:
"Montour county people are proud
because the Jail at Danville is empty
and has been in this deplorable oondl-
tton since the last term of court. Be-
cause of this the cynical are wonder
ing whether Montour county people
are unusually lawsbiding or the au-
thorities very lax"
Whether one or the other be true
the taxpayers of that county are being
outraReously cheated. What's jail
for If not TO hold prisoners? What are
sheriffs and policemen for except to
find somebody to put into Jail: Are
prison wardens and jsilOrs and Judges
and court officials to be maintained IN
idleness?
We submit to the people OF Montour
county that il is the business OF their
sheriff to get occupants for that jail.
Isn't there a tramp. or even "sus-
picious" person in Montour? Isn't 1t
she duty OF policemen and con stables
to bring in somebody to be tried for
something? How is the district at
torney to make living?
Montour seems to be lost to all sense
of shame. Fill the Jail at once"
In reply the News would inform all
inquirers that the taxpayers of Mon
tour County are perfectly serene; an
en- PITY Jail has no terrors for them.
Our policemen and coDstables under
stand their duty and the District At
torney, who bears no evidence of a
slim diet, up to the present has not
been heard to express any misgivings
as to the source Of his living.

high stage of the river which makes it
still impossible to load and unload the

with Richard Hullihen, the new ferry
man, in command. The strong cur
rent enabled the fat boat to make rec

made was four minutes in returning
