Curious Old Book.

Mr.. John S. Nelson, South Sec
ond street, has a copy of Guthrie's
Geography, printed in Philadel-
phia in 1909. At one time it be-
longed to James Peacock, Harris
burg. 1t was purchased in Harris
burg on the 10th of January. 1S4S
by Hugh Rankin for a levy (12t
cents) and brought to the Cove.
At Hughie Rankins' sale in 1858
it was purchased by W. Sloan
Nelson, father of John S. Nelson
for 25 cents and after the death
of w. S. Nelson, it passed into
the hands of its present owner.
1t contains much information
that now is curious in regard to
the customs, manners and char
acteristics of the peoples of the
world as they existed at that
time. One of the things that
interests John is: 1t tells how to
say the Lords Prayer in several
languages.

The Better Side

1t is pleasant in these times to
hear of occurrences that show
the better side of human nature.
1t is not worth while to hate any
one. Life is too short to cherish
ill-will or hard thoughts, What
if that man has cheated you or
that woman played you false, or
some friend forsaken you? Let
it all pass. What difference will
it make to you in a few years,
when you go hence to that un-
discovered country. All who
treat you wrong will be more
sorry for it than you in your deep
est grief. A few more smiles, a
few more tears, some pleasure,
much pain a little longer hurry
ing and worrying in the world.
some hasty greetings and abrupt
farewells and life will be over.
and injurer and injured will be
laid away and forgotten. 1t is
not worth while to hate each
other. This is our advice and
like salvation, it's free. Try it.

The GrOundhOg.

Last Friday morning the Ground
hog arose a little earlier than u.s.
ual, for he had a very important
task to perform. He arranged
his toilet with care, ate warm
breakfast, bade the family good
bye and hastened out into the
light Of day. 1t was light, in.
deed, for the sun was shining so
brightly that it almost blinded
him. He fumbled in his pockets
for his colored spectacles, but he
had forgotten to bring them
along; so after floundering around
like a drunken man for awhile,
he managed to find the entrance
to his winter home, and, in he
went, there to stay for six weeks,
while we poor mortals who had
no hole to crawl into, ordered two
more tons of coal, and an extra
cord of wood.
At l o'clock p. m. Friday the
temperature was 13 above; then
it dropped steadily until it touch
ed 2 below from 3 to 6 o'clock,
Saturday morning. 1t gradually
rose until it reached AZ Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, when it
began to drop rapidly and by 5
O'Clock Monday morning it was 2
below zero.
The town was visited Sunday
evening by one of the most vio-
lent blizzards and snow storms
in a long time. 1t lasted only
about an hour and fortunately
did but little damage. The ba-
rometer which gave a warning
several hours ahead of the ap-
proach of the storm, dropped to
%. &C the lowest reading in Nc
Connellsburg in the last two
years.
Harry Gress an observing Ayr
township farmer says, that more
depends upon the moon on
Grounding Day than upon the
hog. Harry says, if the second
day of February comes in the
light of the moon you may look
out for cold weather; if in the
dark of the moon, the soft and
mild weather will follow.

Would Abolish Teachers Institute

Representative 1T. McFadden
of Bradford county outlines a
plan of economy in the conduct
Of public schools of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. McFadden has estimated
that it would effect a saving Of
between $500, 900 and $4OO, 900 a
year without any impairment Of
service and suggests that it is
worthy of consideration by the
legislature. The main feature
of saving under Mr.. McFadden's
plan is abolishing the methods
now employed in holding county
institutes for the teachers. The
necessity for Institutes, he points
out has largely disappeared, so
far as instruction is concerned,
owing to the high standard re.
quired of public school teachers,
who have the opportunity to at
tend normal schools and higher
institutions of learning where
they can be thoroughly prepared
for teaching. At the present
time Mr.. McFadden declares the
county institute is largely a
place of entertainment for teach
ers which they are forced to at
tend or lose their wages.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Federal Court Appointed Harrisburg
Lawyer 10 Take over The McCOn.
nsllsburg & Fl. London R. R.

On thursday OF last week,
Judge Whitmer, sitting in the
Federal Court in Scranton, named
Charles H. Bergner, of Harris
burg, as receiver for the McCon-
nellsburg and Fort Loudon Rail-
road Company.
This is the beginning of anoth-
er chapter in the history of Full
ton County's railroad experience.
The first chapter in the present
story opens with the advent of
one Post who appeared in Nc
Connellsburg in the fall of 1914,
and succeeded in placing on foot
an organization to build an elec-
trio road between McConnells-
burg and Fort Loudon. The
right of way was secured, a char
ter obtained, the contract for the
construction let, and work pro-
gressed up to the end of the year
1915, when work closed down on
account of winter weather which
made it Improbable to continue
in the mountains.
When the spring of 1916 open
ed it was found that the old COM
pany had been so severely
damaged by the freezing of the
past winter, that it was worth
less and a new organization was
formed and the plan changed
from an electric to a steam road
a charter for which was applied
for, and a contract for the build
ing of the enterprise was award
ed to Clyde E. Coon a promoting
contractor. Coon came here and
started the construction. sublet-
ting the work. w. F. Patterson,
jr., of Pittsburgh, was given a
contract for grading. He start
ed work and when the crash of
the Lehmaster National bank
came Patterson had considerable
money expended in the operation.
Promoter Coon left for parts
unknown following the crash of
the Lehmasters bank from which
the promoter secured over $780,
900 on a bogus draft that was
later surrendered to Coon by
Enos D. Myers, the cashier.
Cosequently Mr.. Patterson peti-
toned the United States district
court for a receiver. He holds
more than $50, 900 worth of me-
chanics liens against the property
and alleges there is not money
to pay for it.
1t is likely that the receiver
will offer the property for sale at
an early date. Whether an or
ganization will be effected to take
over the road at the receivers
sale has not yet been determined.
1t is believed, however, by peo-
pie interested that the receiver
ship will put the project in bet
ter financiel shape and its pur-
chasers may complete the line.

CHATEAU HEYN.
Is The Name by Which the Big fOtsI
on Top Of Tuscarcra Mountain
will Be Known 70 The Public.

While doubtful things are un-
sartin" as we have found out in
our experience in railroad enter
prises in Fulton County, there is
a reasonable probability that
the top of the mountain between
McConnellsburg and Fort Loudon
on the Lincoln Highway, will,
within a few months sport a
hotel for attractiveness of archi-
lecture and natural scenery that
will not be outclassed by any
rural hostelrie in the State.
Application will be made to the
Governor by the Heyn brothers,
Roman M. and Leopold L. with
j. G. Gray-all of Pittsburgh, for
the charter of the intended cor
poration to be called "The Tus-
carora Hotel Company" This
company has already secured an
option on several hundred acres
of land lying on both sides of the
Lincoln Highway. Near the
dividing line of Fulton and Frank
lin counties, a $1OO, 1000 hotel will
be erected and bids have already
been received for its construc-
ton. 1t is 2,400 feet above sea
level and commands a view of
four states. 1t is 1877 miles east
Of Pittsburgh and 160 west of
Philadelphia; "a miles west of
Gettysburg, 18 west of Cham
bersburg and 81 east of McCon-
nellsburg. A tract of 400 acres
is under lease, and it adjoins the
State game prererve of more than
$4,000 acres, abounding in fish
and small game, besides deer,
bear and turkeys. Ample grounds
for outdoor recreation are pro-
vided, including golf links, tennis
courts, ponds for boating and
skating, as well as provision for
all indoor sports.
Leopold L. and Roman H. Heyn
of the Hotel Schenley, Pittsburg
for whom the new hostelry will
be built will give it the family
name and it is now proposed to
call it the Chateau Heyn.
Plans and specifi cations
now in the hands of interested
parties show that the structure
will be of rambling style, taking
its prototype from the fam
lily name and its mountain
estates in the Austrian Tyrol.
1t will be constructed of native
stone, timber and stucco. Locat-
ed on a mountain peak, from
which an expansive view of the
surrounding country may be OBJ
tained it is reached by a plaza
one hundred feet wide leading
from the Lincoln Highway, more
than one hundred yards distant.
The plaza leads to the entrance
to the main building.
The first floor contains the cor
ridor, together with the reception
parlors, billiards and tap rooms,
smoking rooms, rest rooms, etc.
From the general lobby on this
floor leads the main stairs to the
office and the great hall from
which open the dining rooms,
terraces and cloister connections
to the private room pavilions.

FIRE BUGS PROSECUTED.
Setting Forest Fires in Pennsylvania is
not The Pleasant Pastime II
Used 10 De.

harrisburg, req. oettlng
forest fires in Pennsylvania is no
longer the pleasant pastime it
used to be. Since the legislature
Of 1915 put teeth into the forest
fire law and provided for the
establishment of a bureau of
forest protection within the Dep
artment of Forestry, more pros
ecutions and investigations in
connection with forest fires have
started than in all the previous
years since the creation of the
Department.
In all, thirty.six cases have
been referred to the Attorney
Generals Department by tn e
Commissioner of Forestry during
the past year. Legal action was
authorized in nineteen of these
cases. Four convictions have
been secured to date, thirteen
cases are still pending and there
have been but two acquittals.
In several additional cases GRIM
inal action was not directed by
the Attorney General because Of
extremepoverty Of the defendants
and the absence of evidence of
criminal intent in setting forest
fires.
No fewer than thirty-nine bills
for the extinguishment of forest
fires were paid by those who
were responsible for starting the
fires and in these cases no GRIM
inal prosecution was ordered.
In cases where fires were started
by children at play, parents,
school teachers and scout masters
were informed and the bills for
extinguishment were submitted
to the parents. AS stated in the
report of the Chief Forest Fire
Warden to the Commissioners of
Forestry, "T he Department
should not prosecute nor impose
heavy penalties indiscriminately,
for in many cases no criminal in
tent exists. We simply want it
to become a matter of common
knowledge that when a forest
fire does damage to innocent
parties penalty will be meted
out swiftly and surely. Some of
our less worthy citizens have be-
come so accustomed to violating
with impunity the rights of for
est land owners that it is absolute
ly necessary to bring about a
change in attitude"
Two of the cases which attract
ed much attention were those of
Frank Holden and Lewis Venem-
ems. both of Lycoming county.
Holden confessed to settin g
twenty-five forest fires in one
day, when accused by the forest
er in charge of the Pine State
Forest, at Waterville. He has
since been sentenced to the Hun
tingdon Reformatory. Venemens
refused to assist a fire warden in
extinguishing a forest fire, when
he had no legitimate excuse for
the refusal. He was held under
$500 bail for court but on apeal-
ing for clemency and promising
to give assistance in the future,
he was released on payment of
costs and fine amounting to
about twenty-five dollars. Other
cases of the same kind are pend
ing in Lackawanna county against
Ralph Wentzel and Christian
Brady.

NUMBER 2l
THE COMMON EVERYDAY PIN.
Little Talks on Health ard Hy giene by
Samuel 6. Dixon, n. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

The pin is born with millions
of brothers and sisters, who
leave home to travel all parts of
the world. On their journey
they come in contact with us
human beings and it might be
interesting 10 take up, what
sometimes happens when they
do so.
Suppose a pin found its way
into the laundry of a shirt manu-
facturer. We would be likely to
hear of it, first in the mouth of
one of those folding the shirt and
preparing it for shipment. This
pin, as well as others might
perhaps be making its first init
mate acquaintance with the germ
that produces sore throat. The
shirt gets to the consumer who
starts to make it ready for use.
For the second time, the poor pin
finds the human mouth again,
its abiding place. Possibly this
time, it gets into an liberated
mouth, thence it gets into the
pin cushion or some other recep-
tacle.
The persons who handle these,
cannot recognize disease germs
by the naked eye and therefore
the pin with its cargo of germs
is ready for a new service. This
time, perhaps by dressmaker,
she has the habit already allud-
ed to, she fills her mouth with
these pins while she cuts with
her patterns and fits various
pieces together. This time for
variation, the pin may have found
lodgment in a healthy mouth.
Nevertheless it is not a pleasant
fault when you know the pins
history thus far to think of any
one making such use of them.
Many Mother who uses pins
in fastening a child's dress to-
gether does the same thing. By
this time in the pins life history
it is quite we'll armed with spores
of germs and really is account
able for much harm along its
path of travel. And now as it is
getting old and about ready to
close its life, a little child may
be stricken wi tn tonsilitis or dip
liberia or even scarlet fever, be-
cause some of these diseases are
easily communicable from throats
so recently affected by the dis
ease that the danger is not rec
ognized. The presence of the
germs that have been referred
to on the pin, is a real danger as
the physician or laboratory work.
er knows he can plant these pins
taken from everyday use, and
plant then in food stufs that will
wake them grow and multiply in
great numbers, colonies can be
seen by the naked eye and they
can be injected into other living
beings and produce disease.
The habit of putting pins into
the mouth would not continue
for moment if everyone knew
this.
The Moral of this little story
is never hold pins in the mouth
as they spread disease, even fatal
disease.

NO REFkRt NOUN.

The Washington Post is in favor o.
referendum of the dry Washington
proposition to the people Of the dis
trict. 1t thinks they should have the
decision instead of congress.
But there is only one reason for the
city OF Washington and most of the
District of Columbia. The district was
created as federal ground controlled by
the federal government and congress
The city arose because the capital OF
the nation was located there. The pur-
pose was TO set aside district entire
~ under control of the federal gov
eminent and congress.
There is no logical reason why con-
gress should refer the government and
the laws governing the district to the
population. Congress proposes to dry
out the district. What that means i;
that the legalized traffic will be driven
out, The saloon and dram shop are to
go. Nobody imagines that the bibulous
congressman and senator or the thirsty
resident will be utterly deprived of his
stimulants. But the legaliZed traffic
viii be barred from the capital city
and district.
Ii there is any reason why the horde
of hangers on, white and black and
yellow i'm Washington should be taken
into partnership with congress il is not
evident. The making Of laws and thei:
Enforcement is the business of the fed
eral government. And congress will
do well to retain all its power in that
respect. There is no occa sion to refe:
a proposition like that TO the peculiar
of Washington, D. c.
