HARRISBURG LETTER

The Sheath mothers pension bill,
providing for a commission of not
more than seven nor less than five
and an appropriation of 100000,
was passed finally in the House last
week by a vote of 1873 to 8, after
debate in which George A. Baldwin,
Beaver, had declared that the bill
was based on the wrong theory and
that the present poor laws offered
all the relief necessary. Mr.. Bald
win, at first moved to postpone the
bill, but was defeated and then re-
newed his attack on the measure as
i'll advised legislation.
Mr.. Strauss, Berks; Mr.. Watson,
Indiana, and Mr.. Piper, Philadelphia,
argued for the bill, Mr.. Watson say
ing that Mr.. Baldwin's statement
that pensions were granted only for
service to the State did not deserve
consideration because there could be
no greater service than the rearing
of children in a proper manner. Mr..
McClintock, Philadelphia, closed the
discussion, speaking in favor of the
measure. The bill goes to the Sen
ate for concurrence in the House
amendments.
L hO llOuoC eliDO pttooOu Wy q NOIS
of 172 to the Jones bill for pro-
viding for appointment of a country
| life commission of seven persons to
promote the agricultural interests of
the State by investigation, sugges-
tion and reports with a view of in
creasing fertility of the soil and the
bringing of products to the consum-
ers with the greatest economy. An
appropriation of $4,000 is carried.
This bill is one of the Republican
! State Convention committees meas
ureS.
Mr.. Kits, Erie, objected to the
presentation of any additional bills,
giving notice after two had been
handed in by unanimous consent that
he would object to any in future on
the ground that the House had set
March II as the last day for new
bills and an unprecedented number
was before the Legislature. The
bill to increase salaries of clerks in
the department of mines was defeat
ed sc to rs.
The House passed finally:
Authorizing appointment of ten
special agricultural instructors to
counsel farmers and appropriating
$4,000 for salaries and expenses;
permitting sale of articles manu-
factured by inmates of State institu-
tions for benefit of such persons; reg
ulating appeals from reports OF
school auditors; providing an in
demnity plan in sales of trees, vines
plants, seeds, etc.; regulating juris-
diction in service of papers in di-
vorce; providing that hospitals main

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Get up right in the morning. Go
to bed right at night. Start with
joy in your heart, hope in the future,
kindness in your purpose. If it is a
dark day, never mind; you will light
en- it up. If it is bright day, you
will add to the brightness. Give a
word of cheer, kindly greeting and
a warm handshake to your friends.
If you have enemies, look up, pass
them by, forget and try to forgive.
If all of us would only think how
much of human happiness is made
by ourselves, there would be less of
human misery. If all of us would
bear in mind that happiness is from
within and not from without, there
would be wellspring of joy in every
heart and the sun would shine for
ever, Try it!-Leslies Weekly.

SISSON FOR GOVERNOR.
Attorney General Proposed as Best
Candidate for State Executive by
the "SOnntagsbOte."


the "Sonntagsbote."
Many men have recently been
mentioned as available candidates
for the governorship as successor of
Governor Tener, but none of them
seem to have the qualities and abili-
ties, which would recommend them
to us as acceptable timber for the
highest office in the State of Penn
sylvania.
There is one man, though, who,
we confidentially believe, would
meet all requirements for a capa-
BILE state executive, who would give
good account of himself and also
would as man of liberal views have
most certainly receive the support Of
the German-American element.
This man is A. E. Sisson, at pres
ent auditor general of the keystone
State. The "Sonntagsbote" proposes
him as the best man available for
the governorship and hopes that he
will accept the candidacy when his
legions Of friends, who are only
waiting for the opportune moment
to do so, will launch the formal
boom, which, we are confident, will
result in his nomination and election
with an overwhelming majority.
Mr.. Sisson is native of Erie, Pa,
and during his entire career has
proved himself thoroughly honest
and capable man. He has the conf
dence of his friends and the general
public, who know, that as governor,
he would be the right man in the
right place. During his present term
of office, which ends on May 1, he
has saved the state and the taXpay-
ers many thousands of dollars by
forcing the corporations, which
heretofore always had succeeded in
evading the payment, to come up to
time with their taxes. The receipts
of the state treasury have, by his
energy and activity, been increased
by many hundreds of thousands OF
dollars.
Sisson for Governor! He would
be the right man for the right place

Stops Scalp Itch
Dandruff and Every Form of Scalp
Disease Cured Quick by ZemO.

Disease Cured Quick by Zemo.
1t is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandruff. You rub little
of it in with tips of the fingers. 1t
gets right down into the glands, slim
ulates them, stops the itch, and
makes the head feel fine. No, it
isn't sticky! Zemo is a fine, clear,
vanishing liquid. You don't have to
even wash your hands after using
Zemo. And what wonder it is for
eczema, rash, pimples and all skin
afflictions. A 25-cent bottle at A. M.
Leine's drug store, Honesdale, is
guaranteed to stop any skin irrita-
ton.
zemo is prepared by E. w. Rose
Medicine Co., St. Louis, Mo-, and is
regularly sold by druggists at 81 a
bottle. But to prove what it will do
at trifling expense, Zemo is now put
up in 25-cent trial bottles.

HOW ROMAN WENT C0URTING
Prospective Wife Had Nothing to Do
With the Match, Though Ac-
corded High Position.

When a boy had completed his
studies and had reached the 6 OF
perhaps twenty-five or thirty, it was
his duty to marry. After deciding
upon a lady whom he thought suitable
to be his wife he arranged the be-
throthal with her father, as the maid.

suited In the matter, and, furthermore,
Roman women were always under
guardianship. The marriage cere-
monies began with the feast and sac
rifces in the house Of the brides ia.
Their.
In the evening a procession OF
youths, terch-bearers, musicians and
guests escorted the bride to her fu-
ture home, where the groom carefully
lifted her over the threshold, as 1t
was an ill omen for her to touch the
sill with her foot. In case the we'd
ding was of the ancient sacred form
termed confarreatio, the newly mar,
ried pair. after entering the house, ate
together a sacred cake in the pres.
ence of ten witnesses and of the chief
pontiff and priest of Jupiter. The
ceremonies of the evening ended with
a bridal song by the guests, and on
the following day the husband gave a
marriage feast to his friends.
Though early custom placed the
we in the power of her husband, she
went freely into society, attended the
theaters and public games, taught her
children, and sometimes aided her
husband in his political career. Her
position as mistress of the household
commanded respect from government
and society.-EXchange.

Hometown
IMPROVE THE COUNTRY TOWN
Purely az a Business Proposition,
5eautifylng Any Village VIII
Be Found to Pay.

The cities. great and small, are dong
their whole duty in providing parks,
but the villages and small towns seem
to think THAT parks are luxuries be-
yond them. We hear political econo-
mists bewailing the fact that the cities
are growing faster than the country,
and they ask why 1t is. Parks, boule-
wards, libraries, added to the other at
fractions of the cities are sure to en-
tiee the country youth from the hum
drum life in a frowsy hamlet. And
who can blame them?
But IL Mr.. Carnegie, or Mr.. Rookie
feller, or other of our rich men, should
assist and encourage our country
towns to build parks, to plant trees
and beautify their towns, thus max
ing their homes pleasant, the glamour
of the city would not be so striking.
the building and endowing Of great IL
braries is most commedable, but there
are many things we need more. Those
fine palaces filled with books are hand
some monuments to the rich donor,
but the sane amount Of money ex-
pended in Fairgrounds about the city
schools and in parks in country VII
lagos would bring more health and
happiness to all the people. Our coun-
try people need to be educated along
this line. Make the country towns
more beautiful, and the desire to leave
them for the great cities will not be so
great. In spring time the jewellers in
the cities urn with longing to the
country and the country town. They
dong for green fields and singing birds,
and happy the suburban town whose
people have made its streets shady,
its appearance attractive, for to such
will come people who add to the COM
munity's life and prosperity. From
an economic view, village improve
ment pays. 1t fills up vacant houses,
1T increases the value Of your proper
ty, 1t educates your boy and girl. and
It will make this world a pleasante'
place than you found 1t.

GARDEN CITY NEAR CHICAGO
Men Out Of Employment Because Of
Age VIII Run the Proposed
Farms.

A garden city, similar to those OF
England and other European coun-
tries, will be built on a farm to be
purchased by the Authoritative Linn
it league, organized for the purpose
of providing a means Of livelihood for
men who have been thrown out or
employment because of their ages.
The league will purchase a farm OF
1900 acres, near enough to Chicago
that the garden products may find a
ready market.
The farm is to be divided into five
acre tracts. One family will be es-
tablished on each plat and given the
means of operating the tract until able
to pay for it.
The small farms will be close
enough together to permit of the gar
den city plan. The residents will be
under regular city government, the
only restriction being that no saloons
shall be allowed in the city.
Schools will be provided and
churches will be built, streets laid out
and all requisites of a modern city
established.
The league has arranged for the
sale of bonds to raise the money nee
essary for the enterprise. Five hun
dred dollars will establish a family on
one of the farms and as soon as the
man is able to pay the $500 and an
extra $500 to bring another family the
farm will be transferred to him.

The Difference.

The question is often asked
why it is that a lawyer in the
trial of a case in the court room
can call a man a scoundrel with
impunity, and if an editor repeats
such charges in his paper he is
confronted with a libel suit, OF
there is a dead editor! One reas-
on for the difference IS, perhaps,
the people will believe what the
editor says. while they will not
believe the lawyer.-Greenville

Street Trees Valuable Assets.

No one has ever been overheard
saying hat any community, town, city,
state or nation grew too many street
trees. On the other hand those hav-
ing the most have become famous for
their civic pride and progressiveness,
Again, countries or sections of coun-
tries have become barren, uninhabited
wastes when denuded Of all trees.
Therefore, trees are in some cases a
prime necessity and in all cases a
valuable asset. So clearly Is this rec
ognized that there is much good-nat-
ured rivalry as to which city is best
planted or has the most street trees,
In fact street trees are the finest mu'
nicipal asset a city may have, wheD

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stIoyed forever; nine cases out of ter
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of thu
