Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1910-02-24

Our business was active during
Court week. This is gratifying for
more than one reason. First be-
cause business means money. Sec
ond, because it means that our ef-
fort to make the News Item bet
ter paper is meeting with success,
and that the people of Sullivan
County appreciate the fact that we
are doing good work both in the
News Item and in our commercial
printing department. We are not
in the habit of footing our own
horn to great extent, but we have
received many complimentary ex-
pressions of our patrons appreci-
alton of our endeavor and feel it
our duty to thank them for the
same. However in the past year
we have been con the job, we
have made but little progress to-
ward the end we wish to gain, but
by constantly pounding away, and
by the hearty cooperation of the
patrons generally, we expect to
make still better showing in the en-
suing year. The best way to help
from the outside is to send in every
bit Of interesting news you hear.
We will attend to the inside of the
plant but it is impossible for us to
see into every home in the county
and note the happenings. Items
may be sent in by telephone or
mail, and we will surely appreci-
ate them.

to their tasks by the rich, clear
tones of the new school bell which

school building. The bell is a gift
to the school district, the money
with which it twas purchased having
been secured by individual
subscriptions and by entertainments
given by the pupils and teachers
of the schools.
To Mrs. Edward Ladley is due
the credit of having first suggested
the procuring of bell and Of
having secured most of the
subscriptions for the praise-worthy
object. Among the subscribers to
the fund are the following: Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Ladley, A. II.
Buschhausen, j. L. Smyth, John

bell in the county. The school
district and all who assisted in
procuring the bell are to be
congratulated.

Chinese Insults.

The Chinese are curious folk. An
educated Chinaman will take delight
in using in conversation with a West
ern barbarian the adjective which is
used only to qualify animals, though
only his interpreter will discover the
insult Of which the person for whom
1t is intended remains supremely igno-
rant.
A China boy" will enter your pres
ence with his pigtail rolled round his
head-a most intolerable rudeness--
II he thinks the new arrival does not
understand the insult intended.

Expect Locusts In Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania State Zoologist Sur
face stated in Harrisburg that from
reports he had received he looked for
an invasion of the seventeen-year-old
locust of York, Lancaster, Dauphin,
Chester, Montgomery, Bucks, Lebanon,
Berks and Lehigh counties this year.
The locusts appeared in this district
seventeen years ago and were also
noticed in 1902 and 1905, but not in
any great number.
The zoologist urges that persons in
tending to plant trees in land which
was swept over by locusts on their
last invasion should not do so until
June, and that trees on. tracts SINH
larly visited should not be pruned un-
til summer.

SOME GOOD IN THIS CONVICT
Trusty Who Ran Away and Earned
Enough by the Hardest Labor to
Save Sisters Home,

Out from the whirl of our material
life come occasionally strange sto-
ries of human goodness in those
whom society has cast out, the Kan.
sas City Times says. Convicts with
hearts and loves and fine Impulses are
by no means rare. James G.. Pogue
was Of this class. He was a convict
in the Kansas state penitentiary at
Lansing, where he was sent for grand
larceny. 1t appears that his only sis.
ter had mortgaged her home to pro.
vide funds for his defense. But nev.
ertheless he was sent to prison. His
conduct as convict was so good that
he was made "trusty," an office that
is something of a sinicure and is the
only thing that makes prison life en-.
durable to some men. But he never
forgot about the sacrifice made for
him by his sister and whom the mort.
gage became due he knew that the lit
tie property must be sacrificed.
James Pogue wasn't a hero. He
was a convict with years of imprison.
ment before him. As trusty he
could almost enjoy these years. II
he sacrificed the confidence of the
warden he knew that the future would
be black and terrible. But there was
his sisters home that was in danger
because Of his wrongdoing. After
weighing all the elements Of the prob.
lem James Pogue decided to make a
supreme effort. He escaped from the
prison and went to work. Wandering
over the country, he did whatever his
hands found to do. But always he
saved and RENTED regularly all he
could spare. He worked in coal
mines, in harvest fields, in railroad
section gangs. Nothing was too hard
for him and through it all he never
drank liquor or spent a cent that
wasn't necessary. At last he had
saved the amount needed to redeem
his sisters home. In all it was a lit
tie more than $3.50. After that James
Pogue could have gone far away and
lost himself. But he didn't. He was
no hero, but he knew his obligations
to society and he was tired being in
dread of capture. When his
purpose was achieved he again re.
turned to prison and to a servitude
worse than he had before known. He
could have no benefit for good be.
1avior. But somehow James Pogue
Uses out of the muck of dishonor and
claims respect. II he isn't a hero he
lid something that was almost heroic. (
