the man of piety being a man of wrath
Just as if wrath led to anything but
folly and violence. The quick-temper-
ed man is weak, whatever he may pro-
fess to be. Some men are so proud
of their spirit that they can be born
again and not lose it; but If they
realized its worthlessness they would
be born again until it was obliterated.
Back of ugliness generally is a disor-
dered digestive system which needs
attention.
Annie Besant, who is is now in this
country instructing her auditors as she
believes in the better way of think
ing and better ways of life, has been
in the public eye over a quarter OF
century. She says she made her first
speech in 1873 to an empty church,
that is to say finding herself alone in
an empty church where she was prac-
ticing on the organ, she ventured to
see how she fitted the pulpit and how
the pulpit fitted her. She had yearn-
ed to speak and this is how she made
her first venture to see if she had a
mission in the world. She says: Il
shall never forget the feeling of power
and delight which came upon me as
my voice rolled down the aisles, and
the passion in me broke into balanced
sentences, anu never pduSeQ lOI
rhythmical expression, while i felt that
all l wanted was to see the church
full of upturned faces instead of the
emptiness of silent pews." This is how
the spirit of the woman who teaches
that our worries and trials which seem
to us to take up so much of life are
only dust on the journey, discovered
her power, and became the silver
tongued orator she is today. She
grasped her first opportunity.
There is one good thing you may
take wherever and whenever you find
it and not be charged with theft; and
the wonder is that so few people take
it. 1t is everywhere in the world, and
as free as air; but few find it. This
good thing does not belong to any
class, but no class is too wealthy to
take it or too poor. 1t is of the spirit
rather than of the purse. We are all
advised to take comfort; and some
of us do; but it seems too good to
keep. The world does not realize that
IAN ounce of patience is worth a pound
of brains" or that patience can out
live all the worlds trials" 1t is along
these lines we find comfort, but we
do not stroll this way as often as we
might. 1t need not be an unfamiliar
road, but that is what it is, or the
world would take a great deal more
of it. Misery has hard work to get
in where comfort isl

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
"GROUCHES" AND HOW TO GET
RID OF THEM.

1t has an ugly sound, this word
Crouch" that seems to be getting do
mesticated in modern parlance. Like
another word which begins with the
same two letters,-the word graft
is taking on a very definite meaning
When we say: Jones has a crouch
against Smith" we understand that
Jones general attitude toward him is
at least critical. to put it mildly, and
when we say to a boy who comes
sulkily down to breakfast Johnny. 1
guess you have got a crouch on this
morning" it isn't much of compli-
ment to Johnny, and he knows it.

The man or woman who grows flow

there was never anything just like it,

not declared even prior to the dark
ages, that there is nothing new under

MOI A cHILp,s GAME.

This is the week when Norwich, in
the state of Connecticut, becomes in
a certain sense the central city of the
nation. There the players of rogue
(Which is, as perhaps you know, the
scientific adaptation of croquet), are
met for their national tournament. The
championship, in these later years, has
gone from this part Of the country, but
il is distinction for Norwich and for
Connecticut that they have held the
annual meeting, and the major part of
the expert players as well. If you think
It child's game, try it.-New Haven

1t is the part of wisdom for us to
resolve to add little each day to our
store of knowledge, but it is always
necessary to have a care, for old Par
son Irvine observed, Every day hear
more things l don't believe. l am be-
coming very tired of the folly that so
many regard as wisdom" Doubtless
the parson is right, for there are a
great many counterfeits dressed in be-
coming and impressive language; and
it is not at all likely that Parson
Irvine was capable of recognizing all
of them. AS careful as he was, he
might have possessed himself of lit
tie folly which parades as wisdom.
That is the horn of dilemma which
catches a great many Of us I plead
guilty for fear you may think that in
my conceit 1 imagine have escaped
/ am with those still who get deceived.
But considering all the things of value
in life, it is strange that we get so
few counterfeits-for Nature has it's
counterfeiters as well as man-but ev-
cry counterfeit has upon it Identified
ton marks.

Norwich developed some of the finest
star croquet players thirty years ago,
when cfoquet was taken out of the
grass and played upon clean-cut
courts and assumed the position of
being the most scientific of out-of-
door games, and it has not yet lost
Its prestige, neither has Norwich ever
been without its star players. The
game is in the hands of a new gem
Grafton now and more skilful than
ever, and Norwich has done we'll to

the game for nearly four decades. The
rogue players are gentlemen, and Nor

are to get here.

Did you ever ask yourself how we
get a new moon and an old moon
every month? Now, there is nothing
new or old about the moon-it is sim
ply ancient; and it was ancient long
before the mountains were pushed UP
out Of ancient seas. The moon looked
just as it does now when Lots wife
was turned into pillar of salt; but
man scientifically phased it, and in
its monthly changes we have a new
moon and an old moon every 30 days;
and because of the influence of the
moon upon the seas we have a lunar
wave running round the earth every
day: and because of it's influence up
on our minds we have asylums full of
luna-tics. The moon is dead world
we are told-but new astronomy now
tells us that it is a captured planet

days; and it also says our earth

it if we do not want to-as neigh

New Railroad Talk.

The Titusville Herald, in a two-column
article published yesterday, states that it
has positive information that the Penn
sylyania Utilities company, a New Jersey
corporation with $50, 200, 900 capital, will
build a new steam railroad from Titus
vile through Tionests to the coal fields
at Punxsutawney, and that the Erie rail-
road is behind the scheme. Upon this
road there may also be operated the gas
oline or electric cars. The Pennsylvania
Utilities company Is planning steam rail-
roads from Titusville to Union City and
from Titusville to Cambridge Springs;
also a trolley line to Meadville, branching
from the Cambridge line at Little Cooley,
and a trolley line down Oil Creek to Oil
City. The talk of a railroad In this di.
rection is almost too good to he true. We
have talked new railroads so many times
and then had the schemes flstten ont,
that this time we won't get excited until
we see the new road coming. However

goods" and that the road will surely be
built. We can assure the projectors that
the new road will be welcomed with open
arms, should they decide to come this

A Terrific WindstOrm.

A terrific wind storm passed over
this section, in fact over the whole coun-
try, last Wednesday, and great losses In
property damaged aud destroyed are re-
ported from many sections. The wind
kept up all day and far into the night,
and at times reached the velocity of a
bowling gale. Not much damage is re-
ported in this vicinity. The oil fields
near here suffered very little, owing to
the fact that few standard rigs are now
used. A large chicken house which Ar
chic Davis was building on the old Hin
ton place, up town, was blown down. At
West Hickory a new building not yet
completed at the tsnnery was wrecked.
The roof was torn off the barn on Harry
Lovelrs old farm on German Hill, part
of which had gone in previous storms.

was caught before it fell and no damage
resulted. The smoke stack on c.. Daum's

In the spring the own mans fancy
turns to thoughts of garden sass, and he
tolls with hoe and shovel, spelling all his
nice green grass; and he plants the seeds
of pumpkin and of cabbage and of beans,
and he has some soothing visions of a
mess of early greens. In the spring the
COW grows FESTIVE, longing for some
verdant grub; she is tired of eating saw
dust and old turnips from a tub; and she
sizes up the garden that the town man
loves so well, and she climbs the fence at
midnight-and it would not do to tell
what the town man says when viewing
all the ruin she has wrought; type will
sometimes melt when printing language
only half as hot.

AN exchange, in pointing out the alb.
surdity of the expression. las silly as a
goose" says naturalists, who haYe been
studying the fowl for years have come to
the conclusion that she is the wisest old
bird going. She never qusrrels without
cause; she sees danger before any other
fowl; she has more courage than the roos-
ter; she is far drawer than the gobbler,
and, if given a fair show, she can beat of
the fox. A flock of geese, squatted around
the barnyard at night, is a much greater
protection than the watch dog. They are
the instant they see a stranger moving
about. SO in future say "As wise as a
goose" and give her all credit.
