High School Commencem ent.
The Commencement exercises at
opera house, last Thursday evening
were largely attended and enjoyed by
those who sat in the front seats, the

in the rear of the room.
The class consisted of Mary E. Farrel,
Dorothy A. Nelson, Florence Cleary,
Ellen Swartz, Margaret Weisenfluh,
Jennie E. Robinson, Marguerite
Metzger, Mary M. Blumle.

Supt. of Public instruction, gave an
entertaining talk of forty minutes, full
of good thought. At the close of the
exercises the Alumni gave a reception
and dance in Theatorium Hall and en-
ioyed themselves greatly.

Pay for Supervisors.

Judge Galbraith, of Butler county,
has decided that supervisors need not
work without pay. He says: eve
know of no authority Of the court to fix
the compensation of road supervisors
in any event. 1t does not follow, how
ever, that persons serving as road sup
ervisors cannot receive compensation,
it does not on the other hand forbid
compensation, and its provisions are
not therefore inconsistent with any
previous enactment in force at the
time the last Act was passed allowing
compensation to the supervisors. By
the Act.of 1899, supervisors are allow
ed one dollar and a half for each day
necessarily employed in the discharge
of his duties of the office. This provis-.
ion is not repealed by the Act of 1905,
and as it is not inconsistent with any
thing contained in the Act, we must
assume that said provision should re-
main intact and the compensation of
supervisors remain as before the pas
sage of tho Act of 1905"

made. We would have a booming little
town, could have what we want, with
out paying two prices, leave our earn
lngs in town, to home dealers, and
save little for rainy day in our home
National Bank, thereby booming three
places in our own town, whereas, we
are now merely existing.
A city market would be another
beneficial addition. Let US have regu-
lar market days and conduct it
as is done in other places.
Another improvement would rec
ommend is, that our electric light
plant be enlarged, enabling it to furn-
lsh commercial lights for all the busi-
ness places in.town and for many of the
pretty homes able to afford the luxury.
This for time would be an expense
but would shortly pay for itself and be
the means of booming the town to
quite an extent as we'll as beautifying
it.
We should have some additional
works. Take away the dynamite
works and what have we remaining?
Then on the other hand we do not all
want to work in dynamite, then we
have but little to choose FROM
five could induce some good works
to locate in the plot of the old furni-
ture factory, something that would en-
ploy from one to three hundred of our
idle citizens. Let it be some good con
Germ, good in every sense of the word.
This would be a much needed boom as
well as highly appreciated one.
In the East Ward, especially, there
are many vacant lots and few where
old neglected buildings stand. Do
away with these and erect store or
two, there are none too many business
places in this ward and there is no
other choice but to go to the upper end
of town for what you cannot find in
these few.

How Emporium Gould be
Doomed.

1t is natural to us all, when we are
viewing a town for the first time, to
note, from critical standpoint, it's 10.
cation, its appearance, for its size, and
its general thriftiness; then we COM
ment on what we have found lacking.
1t seldom occurs to us, however, to
take these views in our own town. On
the other hand, we are almost indiffer
eDt to the conditions existing on all
sides of our every day routine.
In our own little town of Emporium,
there exists at the present time, prob
ably the dullest times we have ever
known. The majority of the working
element, of which Emporium is chiefly
composed, has experienced hard
winter. Spring is now with us and we
are much in need of a means by which
to boom our little town and render it
possible to keep with us all the good
families who make up our populace
and who under other circumstances
mus seek new fields.
A good step has been taken in the
organization of a Board of Trade.
Headed as it is by the leading business
men of the town, it lies within their
power to give the Emporium people
necessaries at price that will come
within reach of all.
This would do away with all mail
order trade and keep all the money
sent to these'houses, with us.
Then give us the benefit of sales such
as the 'sales days" in other places
give citizens.
These things would be an induce
ment to people in the neighboring
towns to do their buying here, consid-
ing the fact that we have exception
ally good railroad facilities.
Then inducements could be offered
by the Board of trade to manufacturers
to locate here.
1t would be an advantage to live in
Emporium if these arrangements were

Bradford Record.

Several young men were discussing
the chances of success in life when
one of them mentioned the career of
Capt. Barclay, the present representa-.
tive of this district in congress. Few
men have enjoyed more interesting or
varied careers, and have achieved
more prominence and success through
perseverance, integrity and hard work.
Capt. Barclay was born in Potter
county, and as boy attended the pub
lie schools and between times assisted
his father in numbering and agricul
tural pursuits. Always alert and am
bilious he studied diligently to pre-
pare himself for college much as Abra-
ham Lincoln strove to fit himself for
the high place in life lie was to occupy.
The outbreak of the Civil war tempo
rarily put stop to the captains plans,
and though but boy of II he went to
the front in 1861. Enlisting as pri
vate his abilities were at once recog-
nized by his superiors and he was pro.
noted corporal sergeant, second lieu
tenant, first lieutenant and later, cap
tain. On the first day of the immortal
conflict at Gettysburg his regiment,
the 149th Pennsylvania "Bucktails"
was surrounded by Confederate hordes.
For an entire day he engaged in hand
to hand fights with~the enemy, but at
night fall his command succumbed to
greater numbers, and he was captured
and put in captivity. He was an uu
willing participant in the southern re-
treat and for eighteen months was
kept in Libby and other prisons. He
was finally exchanged, and resumed
his command, where he served with dis
tiDction until the close of the war The
great struggle over his thoughts again
turned to perfecting his education, and
he became student at the University
of Michigan. In few years he entered
actively in mercantile enterprises and
numbering, and, like in the army, stead
lily forged to the front. Like all public
spirited men he maintained an active
interest in politics and was presiden-
tial elector in 1892, and delegate at
large to the Republican national con-
vention in 1900, besides participating
in other important gatherings of his
party. He always stood for the best
and cleanest in political and private
affairs. His charities are numerous,
but he has always been unostentatious
in the extreme. In 1906 his party hon.
ored him by nominating him for con-
gress, and his triumphal election in the
fall of that year showed his popularity
in the district. He has been renomi
mated without opposition this year, re-
ceiving large complimentary vote
and should be reelected by hand
some majority. In Washington he has
performed splendid services; presiding
over the house, upholding worthy
measures, assisting the veterans and
their dependents and demanding a
suitable public building for the city of
Bradford. Such career speaks for
Itself; the boy reared in the country
who looked beyond, hoping he might
by his labors benefit his fellow men.
He is a sterling example to the Ameri-
can Youth, and Northern Pennsylva-
MIA hais him as one of her honored
sons.

The Methodist Advocate is quoted
as saying: "Just at this time the coun-
try needs a new religion that will
make man pay his debts. Shouting
does settle old accounts with God and
man. We bounce right into a fellow
and put him out of the church if he
goes to ball or theatre, but we never
say word to the pious chap who
never pays his debts. People who do
not pay their debts are doing the
churches more harm than the dancers
for there are more of them in the
church.

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
HumorIst Points Out What He consId
ers Some Wrong Conceptions.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused a wrong idea of the
use and value of money.
THE spendthrift says that money.
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that, being fiat, IL was
made to stack up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong, too. in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps .
half million or more, live in the SIM
pie dug-outs and shanties of their lean
early days.
Once, lecturing, l landed at an Aus
tralian port. There was no porter in
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing =
rough-looking old fellow leaning
against post with his hands in his
pockets, beckoned to him and said:
"'See here, If you carry these bags
up to the hotel I'll give you half .
crown.
THE man scowled at me. He took
three or four gold sovereigns from his
pocket, threw them into the sea,
scowled at me again, and walked away
without word
