NOTED MUSICIAN
TAKES YOUNG BRIDE,

DR.. Johann NJ. Blosa, of Washing
ton, Pa, who says he is some years
short of 60, and Frances Elizabeth
Wood, of the same place, who is de-
clared by him to be 81, were married
in Atlantic City, and have settled
in Pleasantville, where they will open
a music school. The pair were featur-
ed in sensational stories published in
Philadelphia papers as having eloped
from Philadelphia, where Miss Wood
was attending a music school, to At
lantic City, where they were married
by Rev. H. V. Hewlett, of the First
Baptist Church, after he had salts
fed himself that DR.. Blosa had OBJ
tanned a divorce from his former wife.
DR.. Blosa, in reply to these reports,
stated to the editor of The Pleasant
vile Press: Though they were osten-
sibly from diffe.ent sources, they
came from one source, conveying very
false and misleading impressions and
designed for the purpose of doing per-
sonal injury. My BRIDES parents have
known business relations ever
since the beginning of our acquaint-
ance, with their endorsement, and
they also encouraged our correspon-
dence by mail. I have every creden-
tial in my possession, including a
large volume of court records, en-
dorsements of the highest moral and
spiritual citizenship of Western Penn
sylvania Divines, Doctors, Lawyers,
Laymen, ETC., necessary in the defen-
Sc of vi former good name, which
is rather to be chosen than great
riches. Our life, as for myself and
bride, is an open book, of which Meth
er men nor angels need be ashamed"

Hereafter when you check your lug

which you must certify as to its value.
The new law which was approved by
President Wilson on March 4th last,
went into effect Tuesday. 1t is known
as the Cummings act, and enlarges the

will have the required data in hand
when they present their tickets to

Splints found in the Nubian deserts

What a Revival Is.

The word revival is often given a
meaning which primarily does not be-
long 10 it. Many emphasize the con-
version OF sinners as the essential ele-
ment in revival work. but that is the
secondary meaning of the word. Es-
sentially revival means the quicken
ing of Gods people. You cannot re-
vive a dead man. The unregenerate
sinner is spiritually dead. He must be
born again Now, you may revive a
partially drowned body or a partially
frozen body. The regenerate souls
life often weakens and wanes until
the flame almost fickers out. But if
there be the least spark of life left it
can be famed into a flame, and, like
the apparently dead cinder in the
smithy's forge. that spark will touch
others and kindle flame that will en-
thuse church. city or even a nation.
A revival of religion, then. must logi-
cally begin with the church. Such is
the divine order.-Christian Herald.

Movias Taken For Ghosts.

According to a missionary, the first
display of moving pictures in the prov
ince of Szechuan, China, 1000 miles up
the Yangtze, caused mob disturbance
of alarming proportions.
When the bodiless, yet vigorous
shadows began to move silently across
the screen in the visible but imma-
terial stimulation of life murmurs
arose, soon increasing to shouts and
uproar, that foreign devils had pos
sessed the locality and were in league
with the spirits of the dead. Actual
destruction and perhaps bloodshed was
prevented only by the dubbed guns Of
the native soldiery. Later, when the
pictures were explained, the natives
became ardent fans. The first feature
films shown in Szechuan caused the
outburst Of superstitious rage.-Photo-

The Submarine.

There is little glorious about the
service of the submarine. She is the
sneak Of wars bloodthirstiness, creep
ing upon her victim like murderer In
the dark. For her there is no defiant
battlefag. no CLINT of sun on wave, no
thrilling roar of battle. She worms her
Shiny way through the murk to Kill
or be killed in the horribly practical
business of slaughter. Her seamen toll
amid mere machines. For the scent of
burning powder she supplies the reek
of gasoline. Her crashing broadside
is but the hacking cough of compress
ed air. And her end comes not with
mastheaded ensign, but upside down,
with her people tangled in the gear.
And this is the service which takes the
strongest. the bravest, the dauntless.
There can be no trepidation in the
spirit which guides the submarine
twisting through the depths. where, if
she cannot be seen, she cannot see
and where death turks everywhere

His Ore Luxury.

A wealthy London dandy was noted
for always wearing ii costly flower in
his buttonhole Then he lost all his
money and in time became shabby.
but still every day he wore a fresh
and expensive bouquet Curiosity
prompted one of his old time friends
to ferret out the reason, and he dis
covered that in the mans prosperous
days he found it "a bit of fag" to pay
for his flower every day, and so, in a
very lavish mood. he struck bargain
with the florist that for a lump sum
down--and it was not a small one-he
was to be supplied with fresh bou-
quet of his own choice every day
for five years. The result was that.
although sometimes he had not enough
ready cash for a crust of bread. he was
always able to claim his flower and to
sport "a poppy or lily as he walked
down the Strand.-London Answers.
