BIG WAR GAME IN PROGRESS.

Boston and the neighboring coun-
try is in the throes of war, not a
bloody one, or even a noisy one,
but nevertheless war, in which
thousands OF troops are attempting
to capture the city, which is being
defended by other thousands.
The campaign is a war game
that is being played by two armies,
known as the Red Army and the
Blue Army made up of United
States regulars and National
Guardsmen from many of the
eastern states.
The Blues, commanded by Cen
eral Pew, are defending Boston,
while the Reds under General
Bliss are making the attack. The
offenders were landed on the coast
by army transports, and have been
drawing in their lines closely
about the city.
The engagements" are judged
by board of umpires, of whom
Major General Leonard Wood,
U. S. A. is the chief.
The campaign is being conducted
Just as it would be in real warfare.
There are, however, many humor-
Gus features in the game. For in
stance, when bridge is to be
destroyed, the troopers place dyna-
mite at the proper points, and,
having made all preparations to
destroy the structure, they set off
a fire cracker, and hang up sign
"this bridge is destroyed, and the
enemy" is not permitted to cross
it.
In the event of an engagement,
the umpire decides the result, and
announces the number of "killed"
and wounded"
1t is intended that this shall give
valuable experience to the militia
by their association with the reg
ulars on campaigns, and shall also
furnish knowledge of use in the
defense of our cities.

SPEAK PLEASANTLY.

The admonition, Speak pleas
antly," is one that is frequently
given to children by fond parents.
1t is also one that might well be
printed in large letters on a placard
and hung above the bed of many a
grown-up, so that he could see it
the first thing every morning.
There are a great many people,
and we might say, some of them
live in Bloomsbury, who, upon be-
ing spoken to in passing on the
street, acknowledge it in the same
cordial way as a creditor might
bow to a man who has owed him
twenty-five dollars for thirteen
years. A grabbed nod or a grouchy
grunt are the most genial demon
strations that some are accustomed
to display when they are spoken to,
while others appear to forget to
speak at all.
This is a habit which is neither
necessary, courteous, or excusable.
There is none who is so preoccupi,
ed with business that he cannot be
civil. He does not injure the man
whom he ignores, but shows him,
self to be either absent.minded, i'll
natured, or entirely ignorant of ru'
dimentary courtesy.

HIS ANNUAL VISIT.

1t has been the habit of our ven
cradle and respected citizen, Col. J.
G.. Freeze, to take a drive every
summer to his birth place at Ex-
change, Montour county. During
the life of Mrs. Freeze she always
accompanied him. and since hei
death the Colonel has continued the
visits.
On Friday last he and his broth
er, DR.. P. H. Freeze, who is also
over eighty years of age, took the
drive together.
Many changes have taken place
since they lived there.
Exchange has grown into a pret-
ty village with modern facilities,
including a bank, but most OF the
old buildings are gone, and there Is
probably not a familiar face in that
vicinity. Ruins mark the site OF al
old mill which was once operated
by their father.
Notwithstanding the many chang
es, the Colonel still feels, in the
words of the poet;
''How dear to my heart are the
scenes of my childhood" "

SUICIDE AT PICNIC.

THE SPEED LIMIT.

Section five of the Act of Assem-
bly, approved April 10Th 1905,
fixed the limit of speed for motor
vehicles in the limits Of corporate
cities and boroughs at twelve miles
an hour; and at twenty miles out
side of such corporate limits.
The Act approved April 2oth,
1909, provides as follows.
mo person shall operate a
motor-vehicle on the public high
ways of this state recklessly, or at
rate Of speed greater than is
reasonable and proper, having re-
gard to the width, traffic, and use
of the highway, or so as to endan-
ger property, or the life or limb of
any person; but no person shall
drive motor-vehicle at rate of
speed exceeding one mile in two
and one-half minutes; provided,
that the local authorities having
charge of any of the highways
may, in dangerous, congested, or
built up portions. place signs
marked Danger. run slow, and
at these places the speed limit shall
not exceed the rate of a mile in
five minutes; the said signs to be
plainly legible, and the letters to
be not less than five inches in
height.
The act further provides that no
city, county, borough or township
has power to make any regulations
that fix rate of speed lower than
this.
The Act of 1909 went into effect
Immediately, with the exception
that the method of licensing resi-
dents of the state should continue
under the Act of 1905 until Decen-
ber 3Ist 1909.
AS the matter stands now in
| Bloomsbury, any motor-vehicle
may be driven OH Main street, or
elsewhere in the town at the rate
of twenty-four miles per hour. The
proper authorities have taken no
steps whatever to lower this speed
and there are no signs up anywhere
i'll the town.
That twenty-four miles an hour
is dangerous speed in this town,
no one will deny. AS matter of
fact that rate is often exceeded
by some of the drivers. 1t is dan
gerous, not only on Main street,
but even more so OH the narrower
streets where it is impossible to see
up or down the cross streets IN
many places until they are reached
That there have not been many
accidents is due more to divine i'll
terposition or good luck than to
careful driving.
But it may be urged that the
reckless driving is done by
strangers and not by any of our
own people. If this be true it is
high time that we protect our
selves against outsiders. 1t is gen
orally understood that Bloomsbury
is rector all; that there are no
speed regulations here, and so
they rush through from one end of
the town to the other like streak
of CREASED lightning, leaving be-
hind them only a cloud of dust
and a smell of gasolene. Let's put
a penalty on them and get some of
their dollars. They will help pave
| the streets.

After sleeping for nearly half a century the Old
custom Of serving intoxicating drinks at the White
House receptions will be revived by Mrs. President
Taft the first lady of the land.
White Mrs President Hayes was the
House first presidents wife to taboo
Receptions strong drinks at the White House
receptions and until all OF
the presidents wives since then followed in her wake
President Tafts cabinet and administration being made
up of many Democrats and galvanized Southern Re
pubcans is probably why Mrs Taft feels compelled to
revive the strong drink custom at White House recep
tons. Men and women in their homes have or should
have the right to strong drinks to their guests
but the White House public property and neither the
president the presidents wife should do things that
not for the moral upft of the people and the serv-
ing of strong drinks at the White House certainly does
not public favor Even if the guests do not be-
come intoxicated its bad example for other homes and
it is here predicted that the of intoxicating drinks
at home receptions will increase 1000 per cent on
account of them being permitted at the White House.
