J. LINN HARRIS
NOT REAPPOINTED
Bradford Man Succeeds Pen
rose Leader in Center County
on Forestry Board

]. Linn Harris, of Bellefonte, Pen
rose leader in Center county, chair
man of the Republican county COM
mittee for several years and candidate
for member of the State committee,
was to-day succeeded as a member of
the State Forestry Commission by
George B. Lewis, of Canton. Bradford
county. The appointment of Mr.. Lewis
was announced at the Executive De-
partment to-day without any state
ment. Mr.. Harris, who had been a
member of the commission for years,
was last appointed by John K. Tener
in 1911 and his term expired on July
81, 1915.
Mr.. Harris was an active member
of the commission and the failure to
reappoint him was generally regarded
about the Capitol as dropping of a
Penrose man from connection with
the State government. The announce
ment created some stir as for days
there have been rumors that the
partisans of the Governor have not
been disposed to allow Penrose men
to remain where they could help it.
Reports that the time for '1ining
up" men on the Hill for the Governor
had arrived were current last night
and to-day, but denied generally by
n Il m ini stration men.

him to certify to the Lancaster County
Commissioners the declaration of d. G.
Martin and John f. Smith, candidates
for Republican national delegate in
the Ninth District to the effect that
they would support Theodore Roose-
welt for president
IL In his opinion Judge Kunkel said:
The statute provides that a delegate
may include in his affidavit to the
nomination petition the decIara tion
that he VIII support the popular choice
Tor president in his district and that
such declaration shall be printed on
the official ballot. 1t is clear that
what the plaintiff seeks to have done
IS not authorized by the statute. The
declaration which he makes is not a
promise to support the popular choice,
II is impossible to know in advance of
the election who the popular choice

ms daughter reflected as she went
on her way. She did not wonder.
! She had reached the corner and
was standing in the biting wind
waiting for an uptown car, when an
automobile slowed down at the
crossing near her. She stepped to
one side to let it pass, and as she did
so the driver catching a glimpse of
her face, threw on his brakes so
suddenly that his machine swerved
and slid past her before it stopped.
She saw him lean out. but she
pretended not to see him. In the
instant When ne was abreast of her
she had recognized Henry Dayton,
man she had met year ago at a
dance and whom she had not seen
since.
She had not. forgotten him. as his
was the type of face not easily for

the only talk he and she had had

peCially delightful and she had also

Only a Memory
He belonged. however. to the DAYS
that were gone, she reminded her
self, just as Max Courtney did
Even more so, in fact, for Courtney
was a man In moderate circum-
stances who wanted to marry a rich
girl. while Dayton had means of his
own and was considered by design
ing girls and their mothers a most
eligible parti. Now that she was
poor, she did not want to seem to
seek him out.
Therefore she stood with her side

tent on watching the coming troll

way car approaching rapidly, and
stepped forward to meet it.

times it seems to cause her a great
deal of annoyance and she will peck
at it or roll it out of her nest. THIS
catastrophe may he anticipated bySs-
moving the eggs from the nest with a
spoon as soon as they are laid. When
the third egg has been removed for
short time it is generally safe to
return them all to the bird, who then
lays her fourth egg and sits dutifully
upon them for thirteen days, when
they begin to hatch.
Occasionally, birds will show a de-
cidedly cannibalistic appetite and eat
their own eggs. which is the sign that
their daily food is not rich enough.
During the breeding season, especially,
birds should be fed paste Of boiled
egg and cracker in addition to their
regular food.
