THE FAMILY BIBLE.
It's Old Time Record of Births, Mar.
riagcs and Deaths.


"The family Bible, with its genoa.
logical record, served useful pur.
pose in its day." said the librarian
sand / don't see that, with all our
boasted advance in civilization. we
have developed anything quite to
take its place. OF course nowadays
cities and towns pride themselves
on the accuracy of their vital statis-
tics, and we have whole libraries of
genealogical works-dry enough
most Of them are too. But the in
dividual family record, such as was
kept few generations ago, is very
decidedly missing, and it's pity
that such is the case.
For one thing, the list of births,
marriages and deaths that were kept
in the ponderous volume of Holy
Writ operated to keep the members
of the family close to one another.
1t was, in way, central point,
valuable for sentimental reasons as
we'll as for reasons more distinctly
utilitarian. AS scribe succeeded
scribe the family continually was
emphasized, and the entries were
significant of the growth of clan
nish feeling, which is too little in
evidence at the present time. There
are not, 1 venture to say, very many
people in this year of grace who
know anything or care anything
about their relatives further remov-
ed than the degree Of first cousin
ship, and even first cousins are fre-
quently out of mind.
"Of course our tendencies are re-
sponsible largely for this state of
affairs, but often wish that we had
reminders Of our kin, such as were
furnished by the family Bibles of
past days, with their direct personal
testimony, amounting to messages
from parents to children. When
ever l see one of these pages filled
with careful entries-entries made
in JOY and in sorrow, in the conf
dcnce of pride of life or by the trem-
bling fingers of old age-it seems to
me that we have lost something in
our hurried existence that is to be
regretted. We can go to the city or
town clerk or perhaps to the public
library for information as to our
ancestry of our relatives, but this is
rather ccd and formal method of
procedure. Certainly we do not
find in official records and in books
the handwriting of our forbears.'

Flag Day.

The strength and safety OF a commur-
ity consist in the virtue, intelligence
and patriotism Of its youth. The safety
Of nation is not in the hands OF its
rulers, but in the lives Of its people.
Children should be taught to love their
country, to value its institutions, to
appreciate all that patriotism stands
for. Friday, February %, 1907, is
therefore set apart as Flag Day. 1t is
suggested that each teacher arrange a
literary program for part Of the day.
Send cordial Invitation to your pa
irons to be present. Make suitable
decorations. Let at laast one flag
float in or over every school in the
county on that day. Sing patriotic
songs. Let the program be a patriotic
one pertaining to the flag and appro-
pirate to Washington's birthday.

Overwork.

More accidents involving loss Of life
have taken place on the railroads in
the past year or two than in any pre-
vious period Of equal duration. In
this particular the United States has
won bad pre-eminence among the
great countries Of the world. There
are several times more fatalities in
this country on the railways every
year than there are in England, Ger
many or France. in proportion to the
number OF persons travelling. Over
work on the part OF the employees has
been the cause Of many Of the CASH
alties. Physical torpor due to ex-
cessive hours of labor Of railway
workers is accountable for tEe failure
in many cases, to make use of the me-
chanical devices to prevent accidents.--

Battle of the High Schools.

Fame is but bubble after all and
that should soothe the wounded feel
ings Of the Reynoldsville high school
basket ball team. They have put up a
first-class game this year and had
good reason to believe themselves
destined for championship honors.
They may be, even yet, but a certain
bunch of athletes from Dubois put q
bad dint in their halo Monday evening
in Evans skating rink. 1t was re-
markable game, abounding In excite
ment, but all too rough for skill or the
pleasure of the big crowd present. In
the first half the Reynoldsville boys
played well, keeping the score very
close and some pretty goal throw
ing was done by Hoffman and Sykes.
But 1t seemed to be a test OF endurance
and in this the Dubois players had a
shade the better OF the argument. At
the close OF the game the score stood
34-19 in favor of Dubois and the cheer
full yell that went up was from the
throats Of the Dubois victors. What
the Reynoldsville players thought Of
the lamentable roughness that'charac-
terized the game may be seen In the
High School Bulletin. In justice TO
them it should be stated that they were
more sinned against than SHINING and
most of the blame is due to the Dubois
referee who made no effort to prevent it..

NOT GUILTY OF MURDER.
Joseph Leichner Sentenced to Hunting
don Reformatory.

Joseph Leichner, the seventeen-year-
old young man of Reynoldsville, who
shot John E. Pyne, nine-ysar-old lad at
Helvetia December 8, 1906, was tried in
the Clearfeld csunty court last week on
charge of murder, and the jury on the
case brought in a verdict of not guilty.
Leichner went on the witness stand and
told straig htforward story of how the
shooting occurred denying any intention
of shooting and claiming he thought he
had his finger on the safety trigger
when the shot was fired. After the
verdict of the jury was announced an
indictment was read charging Leichner
with Involuntary manslaughter, to
which he plead guilty, and Judge Smith
sentenced him to the Huntingdon re-
formatory to be released within the
year pending good behavior. Lawyer
Clement W. Flynn, of Reynoldsville,
was Leichner's attorney and ably ham
died the defense.
