There is not anything worth so
much to a young man to help him
succeed in life than to give his
heart to God. Nothing can give
him the consolation in times of
trouble than to know that he is

this vast universe with the beauti-
full shining stars above, is standing
ready to give all men the strength
to be pure and true hearted and to
live noble, happy and useful lives.

Opportunities in Panama.

Mirafiores has been made the scene
of much pleasant joking, as the place
from which most Canal people say
they want to be far away but to the
boys of the Culebra Sunday School it
proved tho scene of one of their most
enjoyable Isthmian Outings.
On Washington's Birthday the Sun
day school held picnic. So that the
day might be different in every way
from the usual excursion the special
train arranged for the occasion was
run through the Culebra Cut instead of
on the main line of the Panama rail
road. Leaving the old Panama rail-
road station at $50 a. M, the train was
run to Empire, switched down into the
Cut and travelled over the Cut tracks
to Pedro Miguel. From there it was
run on the main line to Mirahores,
where the boys left the train and walk
ed about half mile to the little know,
but beautiful orange and cocoanut
grove,
The secretary of the Sunday school,
Mr.. Souls, and his assistant, Mr..
Roper attended to the transfer of the
provisions from the train to the grove.
According to Harold l.. Brooke and
Clarence f. Rowland, the boys were
fully occupied while the Secretary was
attending to the luncheon. They
thoroughly explored the grove and
latter the boys had climbed and robbed
the orange trees" Miss Myrtle Row.
land and Miss Ethel Day prepared
dinner for all. After the dinner was
over and everybody was so full they
could hardly walk, the races took
place. After the races the boys went
swimming in nearby creek.
For their party of about one hun
dred people the grove visited by the
Culebra boys made a desirable picnic
ground and everyone in the party re-
ports having had good time.

writes to his paper, giving an account
of the lively preparation for the
entertainment to be rendered United

respondent pays the following refer

Der of the Pensions Committee, and as
such, is besieged these days by old SOL
diers' widows to know how the bill in
creasing their pensions to $12 month
is coming along. The prize letter on
this subject was received by him a day
or two ago. 1t was written by an "old
maid" at least she styled herself one,
and inquired earnestly as to the pros
pect of the new pension bill becoming
law.
Her interest, she naively explained,
arose from the fact that there was an
old soldier in her neighborhood who
wanted to marry her and as he was in
poor health she was inclined to accept
him if she was sure that the Senate
amendment making the bill apply to
all widows, whether they were married
twenty years ago or twenty hours
after the passage of the law. Her let
ter is now on file with the Pension
! Committee.
When the constituents of a Pennsyl-
vania Congressman indicate their in
tention to keep him here during good
behavior, he is apt to look about for a
permanent Washington home. Some
times this desire for a home in the
national capitol seizes members who
are not sure ofbeing returned. Some of
the handsomest homes in the city are
those built or purchased by Pennsyl-
vania Congressman"

Eggs Typify Rebirth.

There are many superstitions in con-
nection with Easter, and each country
has custom of celebrating it peculiar
to itself, but while each varies, they all
unite to observe the spirit of Spring
time, and all Christians rejoice that
the Lord of life forever won victory
over death. Among the many quaint
superstitions is the old Aryan one
which typifies the return of the sun of
Springtime by a golden egg-eggs
being distributed at the early equinos
by priests to strengthen the hopes of
the people that the bleak, cold days of
Winter might soon cease and a brighter
time ensue.
The Persians believed that the earth
was hatched from an immense egg on
Easter morning; the Aryans also be-
lieved the sun to be a large golden egg
which was constantly rolling nearer to
the earth.
With the Jews, says the April De-
lineator the egg became type of their
resue from the land of bondage, and
in their Feast of the Passover, eggs oc-
cupied a conspicuous place in the SER
vice. 1t was their connection with the
latter that finally caused them to be
used by Christians the world over in
celebrating Easter-the egg of resur-
rection into a new life, bringing a mes
sage of life from death, as it were.
The Tyrolese Easter egg is similar to
our valentine, for besides being most
beautifully tinted they have, in unique
lettering notices representing appro-
pirate wishes Tor the recipient.
The priests of Italy bless all eggs
brought to service on Easter morning,
and each person carries his back home,
where they are placed on kind of
altar arranged for the purpose, sur
rounded by lighted candles and often
flowers; then each member of the
family and any guests abiding with
them, eat one of these holy eggs as a
safeguard against disease and danger.
They are hard-boiled before being
taken to church.

"The Arrival of Kitty. -

Dainty Florence Forrest, the pretty
actress in the comedy success 'The Ar
rival of Kitty, which is soon to be seen
here is uncommonly superstitious, not
withstanding her eminence as song
bird. A belief in the efficacy of mas
cots takes the form in Miss Forests
case of wearing jewelled four-leaf
clover pins. The little actress has no
less than sixteen of these emblems of
good luck, presents to her from friends.
Miss Forests superstition also takes
another form of being more than or
dinarily superstitions in the matter of
her dresses. While most woman-folk
believe it good enough fortune to have
modest variety of gowns, Miss For
rest insists upon having two different
sets of dresses for exclusive use in the

Knox Solid in Pennsylvania.

WASHINGTON, March 24-(Special)-
Pennsylvania is solid for Knox. There
has been no break in the lines and will
be none. A complimentary reference
to Secretary Taft at Yale banquet in
this city a few days ago, made by Rep
resentative John Dalzell, of Pittsburgh,
was constituted by some of the follow
ers of Taft as dash for the Taft band
wagon by the Knox supporters. 1t
was heralded in some quarters as a
desertion from the Knox camp.
But the following day Mr.. Dalzell
repudiated this construction of his
speech and made statement that left
no doubt as to where he stands. He
said:
II did not use the language the news
papers have published. The utmost
that can be said of any reference that
| made to Secretary Taft as presiden-
tial candidate was that if he should
happen to be nominated and elected
by the people, it would be source of
pride to Yale University and Yale men
| expect to go as a delegate to the
national convention in the interest of
Senator Knox. Pennsylvania has no
other choice that Senator Knox for the
presidency"
The misconstruction that was placed
upon the speech of Mr.. Dalzell has
aroused the ire of the Knox support
ers and has made them more determin-
ed than ever to do everything in their
power to bring about the nomination
of their candidate. Knox clubs are
being formed and the work from now
on will be pushed in earnest. This
work will be along the lines that Sena-
tor Knox's friends have followed from
the start, endeavoring to inform the
people of his record and his views up
on public questions in order to show
his fitness for the position. The Knox
campaign has been one of education.
1t has not resorted to bluff and buster
and its appeal has been made to the in
tellect of the people.

The people of Jefferson county will

Peterson is making strong fight for
the superintendency of the public
schools of Cameron county. Prof
Peterson was principal of the schools
of SummervilIe for four years and
during that time showed himself to
be an instructor of more than ordin-
ary ability and a gentleman in every
sense of the word. Prof. Peterson
is only another example of those
who refuse to sit down and wait for
opportunities to come to them. He
was born on a farm in Huntingdon
county, his father heing descended
from the Scotch-Irish who early set

More Republican Candidates.

Since our last reference to the can.
didates for county office announcing
their candidacy, two more have placed
their bow to the public in the columns
of the PRESS and may be found in the
political column.
Mr.. Marcus Lucore, who is candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
Member of Assembly, is an exemplary
young man and popular with all who
know him. He is a native of this
county, being born in Portage town
ship. He is the eldest son of the late
Lemuel Lucore, who served the county
years, faithfully and well. We have
known this candidate all his life and
respect him very much. Should he be
nominated we could support him cheer
| fully for he has always been a consist
ent Republican, and if rot nominated,
we believe will certainly support his
! opponent, Hon. Josiah Howard. Give
the young man fair show, this being
his first venture in the political arena.
Another candidate for sheriff has
SHE'D his challenge into the middle of
the ring. Arson o. Swartwood, for
merly of Shippen township, but for
several years resident of Emporium,
came to Cameron county in June, 1873
from Broome county, n. Y. He served
in the union army for two years, after
being rejected twice on account of the
loss of one finger. Nothing daunted
he insisted on a full examination and
demonstrated to the examining board
that he could handle any old gun and
was told to get his "duds." cans" is

In all Prof. Peterson has taught
fourteen years and has never failed
to leave the salary higher than he
found it, When his educational
ability, his sterling honesty and up
rightness of character, his skill as an
organizer and his comprehensive
grasp of everything relating to school
work are taken into consideration,
the hustling citizens of Cameron
county can indeed be congratulated
if they succeed in putting him at the
