Bell Still Winning Friends.

or those who participated in the
recent Republican primary campaign,
none stands higher In the esteem of
the people now than Will H. Bell,
one of the Reynoldsville candidates
for county treasurer. His manly ac-
ceptance of defeat, no less than his
plucky fight against odds in the
campaign, won him sincere friends
everywhere and places him beyond
all question In the lead for the
treasurership nomination three years
hence. When he appeared before the
county convention of the party after
the long uncertainty over the vote,
in which he finally lost by just 81
votes, he was cheered to the echo by
the delegates ana hundreds grasped
his hand to pledge future support.
Needless to say Mr.. Bell appreciates
the favor shown him In the county,
and especially so in his home town

the noise is made by the crash of glass

made to the borough authorities OF the
thoughtless and reckless use Of these
dangerous playthings by the boys of
town, and number Of instances are
given where window panes and plate
glass display windows have been broken
or damaged. The nuisance has in
creased to such proportions that Chief

to confscate all such weapons and II
the practice continues 1t will be neces-

by heavy fine it will be cheaper far

A Little Pile of Snow.

AS proof of the assertion that we
have had some deep SHOWS the past
winter, we need only get on top of
one of our hills and look in the di-
rection OF Sykesville. Along the boun-
dry of Philip Haag's farm is drift
of snow covering half acre of
ground. AT this writing it is five feet
deep and it is safe to say that there
will be snow there in large quantities
during the first week in May. The
snow at this point was twenty feet
deep, entirely. covering fences and the
small trees The larger part OF the
snow was deposited there at two
different times and when it began to
melt it split open several feet about
the center of the drift, which has
caused it to melt both from the center
and edges Had it not capped open
in this manner. there would no doubt
be snow at this point in the month
of June.-Sykesyille Post Dispatch

Majority Rule.

While it is not natural that those
who have been defeated at a primary
election should feel buoyant with de-
light, and it is to be expected that some
sore spots will be left among their
friends after the battle is over, we
should all remember that our institu-
tions are based on majority rule. It is
up to those who are on the minority
side to acquiesce in the decision and go
along with the procession. The place
to settle party differences is at the pri-
mary election, and although humanity
is so constituted that many things are
necessarily done that the higher moral
sense cannot approve. such are condi-
tions, and we must take things as we
fiud them. The theory of the popular
vote system Of nominating candidates
for Office is that ever citizen shall have
voice, and after the election is over
they shall all be for those whom the
majority favored. Otherwise, what
would be the use in having primary
elections? There is tacit understand
ing among all who take part that they
will abide by the result, and that is the
only honorable thing to do.-Punxsu-
tawney Spirit.

County to Keep UP Turnplke

At the last session of the Penusyl-

which went into effect May /, 1907, re-
quiring counties to pay the expense of
keeping the old turnpikes of the state
repaired and in good condition. The
supervisors of Winslow, Pinecreek
Rose and Union townships, through
which the old Susquehanna turnpike
runs, met in Brookville Monday to take
some action to get the county to pay
theexpense in keeping up the old pike
as required by law. This would be
quite saving of road tax in Winslow
township, as there is about eight miles
of turnpike In the township and the
work expense on it amounts to consid-
cradle each year.

"The sportsman who goes forth

cannot be too careful about keeping
strictly within the provisions of the

particular, of the statute regulating

NE MAY MAKE CALLS BY MAIL.
One Way Of Smoothing Over Some.
times Unpleasant Duty.

Long ago the telephone came into
use in the exteL ding of invitations by
society women, who found it not only
saved much trouble, but did away with
a lot of stiff formality Maybe they
will try to reproduce here the Postal
Calling league that has been intro
duced by the women in Simla, the
fashionable resort for English-speak-
ing residents in India. To become a
member of the league means an end to
the necessity Of calling in person upon
the entire circle Of acquaintances. The
new arrival registers with the libra
rian of the town hall, and this brings
the privilege of mailing her cards to
all the women in the league. Should
she choose to travel around Simla in
her rickshaw she will find at the doors
of members of the league little boxes
labeled mot at home This means
that should the caller prefer it she
may drop her card in the box and go
her way. Where society is loose
jointed and continually growing, as in
this city, the Simla scheme would
come as positive boon to scores of
women. The average society woman
now never ventures out calling without
her social register as her guide. So
many are the so-called friends that 1t
is necessary to look up their addresses,
just as one turns to the telephone d.
rectory in the ordinary course of pro-
sale business. Calls must be made
on many persons whose friendship is
not wished, but whose acquaintance
cannot be sighted. Calls by mail
would smooth over duty that is not
always pleasant.-New York Press
