The Spectral Hounds


Conan Doyie's Hound OF the Basker-
villes. a 'tearsOme animal" is said TO
have its origin IN the legends Of packs
Of spectral hounds which are popular
In various parts OF England and Wales.
In the North of England these appari-
tons are known as "GabrieTs hounds :"
in Devon. the "Wisk." -.Ycst.' or Heath
hounds" in Wales, "Cron Annwn," or
"Cwn Wybir." and in Cornwall the
Devils Dandy dogs" They are sup
posed TO be evil spirits hunting the
souls or the dead. Generally they are
only heard and seen 10 be passing swiftly
along in the air. as they usually choose
cloudy nights for the pursuit OF their
prey. Their yelping is said 20 be ter
rite, resembling the note OF a blood
hound. All OF which tends 70 show that
the origin Of these legends OF goblin
hounds is 10 be found in the terrifying
noises made by fiocks Of wild geese
Glad Burton stays In Congress.
1t sounds somewhat paradoxical TO say
that a great many friends OF Representa-
tive Theodore Z. Burton are glad that
he was defeated in the Cleveland mayor
atty contest last Tuesday. but such Is
the fact. nevertheless The Ohioan is
universally conceded 70 be one Of the
ablest members OF either branch Of Con-
gress, and. indeed. most persons who arc
familiar with the personnel OF the Ma
tional Legislature incline 10 the opinion
that he is one OF the foremost OF the
comparatively few real statesmen in the
two Houses. He is admired and respected
by his colleagues. regardless Of politics
with the exception. perhaps. OF few
whose an!mosity he has incurred BY op-
position 70 unworthy river and harbor
schemes-and Congressman generally. as
well as thar part OF unofficial Washing
ton which knows him, would regret his
dissertation from the lawmaking body.
These things being understood. II is easy
TO see that one may rejoice over the
result Of the Cleveland election and stilI
entertain the warmest regard for Mayor
Johnson's late opponent Though the
city did not select him as its chief ex-
ecutive, there is little doubt that his
district will send him back TO the House
as often as ne desires 10 come.
In the closing weeks Of the last Con-
gress Mr.. Burton was very strongly in
clined not 20 accept another appointment
as chairman OF the Rivers and Harbors
Committee. He was. perhaps. tired OF
the Onerous duties Of that position. and
beyond question he was inexpressibly
weary OF the chickering's resulting from
the disappointment of those members
who. regardless OF right justice, merit.
or the general welfare. raised Cain
whenever appropriations are refused for
their projects Mr.. Burton knows more
about the waterways and harbors OF the
country than any other one man, and be-
cause OF this. as well as on account Of
his fairness and impartiaIty. there is a
very general hope that he will consent
20 succeed himself as chairman.

Sheats and ReybuPn.

From the Bellefonte Dem. Watchman
Mayor Reyburn, of Philadelphia,
announces that "all the martyrs Of
1905" are to be restored to office. BY
the martyrs of 1905" he means
those who were thrown out of Office
after the political convulsion of that
year in that city. An extraordinary
bold attempt had been made to steal
the gas plant there and bestow 1t
upon some friends of the machine
and the public conscience revolted
at the atrocity. AS result of the in
cident some of the machine officials
were summarily discharged from Off
ce. The meaning of Mr.. Reyburn' 8
announcement may be easily conject-
ured in view OF that fact.
The election OF the emlnently re-
spectacle machine Mayor In Phila-
delphia has already restored most of
the machine emmissaries to Office
and the Mayor assures the others
that their time Is coming, law or no
law. In other words. notwithstand-
Ing the civil service regulations
which protect fit men In Office and
prevent unfit men from getting place,
Mayor Reyburn will get rid of one
and secure the appointment of the
other sort. Loyalty to the organ
ization is the standard by which May
or Reyburn measures public service
and the organization, according to
his notion. is the machine.
The policy which Mayor Reyburn
announces Is precisely what is to be
expected in the State in the event
that Sheath, the machine candidate.
Is elected to the Office of State Treas
urer. He was nominated by the
machine to serve the machine. Prim-
arily the machine cares nothing for
Sheath. ANY other man of the same
characteristics would do as we'll. But
Sheaz was the available man at the
time and was chosen because his
false pretense of reform would help
Penrose and hurt no machine Repub-
lican interest. If elected he will
help the machine and In either event
he will help Penrose.

knitter's Romance.

Romance may certainly figure in
many of the knitted walstcoats and
GORGEOUS stockings worn by our
undergraduates to-day. but these
have not so romantic an origin as
the flrst OF these articles produced
In this country. For tradition has
II that William Lee, who in the
sixt"anth century invented the knit
ting frame on which both stockings
and waistcoats were produced me-
chanically, was driven to this piece
Of ingenuity by the cruel fouting
of the lady he loved, who happened
to be stocking knitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
Impression on her heart. he sought
to make It on her purse by killing
her means Of livelihood; and one IL
glad to read that all stocking makers
combined to Illustrate his cruel pur-
pose, with the result that he fed
with his invention to France, where
he finally died OF broken heart,
whether for love Of his lady or Of
his spoiled invention. tradition does

May a Girl Work Her Way Through
College

Undoubtedly it is possible for a
girl to work her way through col
lege," writes Margaret +. Sangs-
ter in the October H6maR'S Home
Companion, "if she have exception
al brain power, exceptional pluck
and exceptional health. To accom-
plish this difficult task without pc
cuniary aid from relates or friends
is very formidable undertaking,
and it is hardly wise to attempt it
unless one is sure of having the
requisite physical capital and of
being able to stand the strain of
long, hard and wearisome pull.
Girls have done this, girls are do
ing it now, and girls will continue
to do it, but the race is cucumber
ed by heavy weights, and the row.
ing is upstream.
In college there are many open
ings for earning money, and it may
be remarked that nobody loses caste
or is treated with condescension be-
cause she is frankly poor A girl
with knack for sewing may use
her needle and receive pay from
students who do not wish to sew or
mend. She may make shirt waists,
trim hats, mend stockings, sew on
buttons, repair skirts and do a
number of useful things that will
help her along.
In Western college I met sew
eral young women who had paid
their way by sweeping, !dusting,
washing windows and cleaning
paint, by taking hold, in short, Of
anything that offered, whether it
was hard or easy. In this particu.
lar college the expenses were less
than in more luxurious institutions
in the East, and l almost thought
that the students had a more insa-
tiate love of learning and an intenser
personal ambition than l had seen
elsewhere"

clouds, on the other hand, are found
