Benj. Hege, of Scotland, was in town on Saturday arranging for the sales of real and personal property in the Over estate, of which he is executor. It is one of the largest estates in Peters township. Only one other is likely to exceed it. The Octario Farmers Club is one of the staid organizations of Lancaster county.

It was organized in 1856, almost half a century ago, and an assembly of its members has been held several times each year since, one of the 1899 meetings having occurred last week. Several Interesting addresses were made at the assembly last week, which was one of the largest and most enjoyable held yet. This Farmers Club is the oldest organization of its kind in the United States and its members are to be commended for the interest they have manifested in its preservation. PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NOTES. not be too strongly enforced.

Every man can notice on his own face the difference between the morning on which he draws his quarters salary and the morning on which he goes to pay his tax. There are veterans who carry the lead in their limbs and who probably never spend an hour without suffering some psin for their countrys sake, and that too. without murmuring; and yet who can fall to notice the difference on tbe veterans face between the morning on whioh he pays his tax and the morning on which he draws his pension. Those who have read the book on The True George Washington will recall the entry made by tbe county official of a county in whioh Washington held property: It appeareth that Geo. Washington doth not like to pay taxes.

Glory comes from fighting a battle; who thinks of glory in connection with tbe payment of taxes The supreme test of a patriot is found in the willingness to pay a just share of tax for the support of the government and for the education of the people. This prime lesson in patriotism can not be too carefully given in an age in which tax-dodgiDg has been developed into a fine art. ANSWERED THE DREAD SUMMONS. CHAMBERSBUBO, PA. H.

The program prepared is one of interest All friends of the church and school are cordially invited to participate. Strangers are welcome.

A Prediction that Both will be Taught In a Different Manner aud Differently Appreciated in the Next Century Lessons in Patriotism. One of the results of the late war is a change iu the point of view from which history and civil government will be taught in the next century. Since a red coat was part of the British soldiers uniform during the Revolutionary war, hatred of red coats has, for more than a century, been instilled into the youth of America. Because some Hessian troops were so unfortunate as to be sold by their sovereign to tbe English government, tbe word Hessian has become a term of reproach in tbe schools and among the people. Our Civil War left a legacy of sectional hatred in the schools and in tbe text-books on American history.

Is hatred of tbe mother country, of tbe fatherland, of the north or the south, a legitimate outcome of the teaching in our public sohools The heart that bates any portion of the human race, is unhappy. The love of our own country does not necessarily involve hatred of other countries. Patriotism is a virtue that is not incompatible with a just regard for the rights of humanity other lands. As a result of the late war with Spain, sectional hatred has been buried, a better feeling has sprang up toward the mother country; and, let it be hoped, that the schools will no longer teach hatred of the fatherland or of any people living anywhere on the surface of the globe. The schools of tbe twentieth century should teach our people to adopt without mutilation features like tbe Australian ballot and to appreciate the valuable lessons which can be learned from the governments of tbe British Empire and of Continental Europe.

A true patriot is always willing to learn from tbe history and tbe experience of other nations and of bygone ages. Civil Government should be studied and taught by comparison. This brings out the significance of many things that are otherwise devoid of interest. Take the veto power. Four States have denied the governor the right to veto or approve acta of the legislature.

In these States (Ohio is one of them) the governor at tbe eDd of his term basacbauceof future promotion: in other States the governor by signing and vetoing bills makes enough enemies to mar bis future political career. The President of France lacks the veto power. Sir Henry Maine grows facetious over this officials exalted position and lack of power. The old Kings of France, says he, reigned and governed. The Queen of England reigns but does not govern.

Tbe President of the United States governs but does not reign. It has been reserved for the President of France neither to reign nor to govern. To show why tbe Queen of England never exercises the veto power, to explain how Lincoln tanght Wm. H. Seward that it is the President and not the Premier of the Cabinet who governs the United States, to teach how Bismarck and his king ruled Prussia in spite ot an adverse parliamentary majority, will convince any teacher how much is gained in interest when Civil Government is taught from tbe comparative standpoint.

A comparison of the Dutch Repuolic with our national government will reveal to every pupil the object lesson which was constantly before tbe eyes of the framers of our federal constitution. Immense will be tbe gain if tbe student is taught to compare the government at Washington with that of other nations, the government of his own State or city with that ot other States aDd municipalities, and finally, to study at bow few points (post office, tariff, revenue stamps) bis daily life is touched and moulded by congressional legislation as compared with the many points where his life is influenced and determined by State and municipal legislation. Tbe two most important lessons in Civil Government can be taught in connection with tbe history of the United States. It is asserted that millions are spent in every presidential election, and that much of tbe money is used not merely In bringing ont the vote, but also in baying the votes. It may be good politics to state how much money the opposite party has to spend upon an election, because that tends to increase tbe price of a vote; but it is poor pedagogy to make such statements before a class.

There stress should be laid npon tbe sanctity of the ballot and npon tbe duty of casting a ballot for tbe best interests of the entire nation. The teacher can emphasize tbe glonous example of that signer of the Articles of Confederation who said: I am not worth buying, but such as am, tbe King of England is not rich enough to buy my vote. The need of such emphasis was recently shown by the question of a pupil who desired to know whether it was justifiable to accept moDey for doing right, as lor instance wages tor a days work, and if so, why it would not be justifiable to accept money for voting tbe right ticket. The pupils question showed bow the sophistry of tbe ward boss is gradually invading the schoolroom, and how necessary it is to teach why the government has made it a crime either to buy or sell a vote. After dwelling npon the dangers which come to a nation from bribery, the teacher can easily make the pupils understand why Belgium has made failure to vote a crime punishable by law, why South Dakota has followed Swstzerland in adopting the referendum, under which certain measures of legislation must be referred to popular vote De-fore they acquire tbe forceof law, and why Prussia punishes tbe tax-dodger by according tbe greatest influence to tbe votes of those who pay the highest amount of tax for the support of the government.

The sanctity of tbe ballot should be emphasized to such an extent that tbe young citizen will approach the polls with tbe same feeling of awe ana responsibility with which the young Christian approaches the altar to assume tbe duties or church membership. In the sight of God, of tbe assembled congregation, of a cloud of witnesses looking down from tbe other world, the young chbtian on joining church takes a vow covering all the virtues and duties of life. The young citizen should likewise realize that in theaight of God and of a cloud of witnesses looking down from tbe other world, including heroes who shed their blood upon the field of battle in order that free government might survive, he is easting a ballot that will have its bearing upon hla own life and npon the life of the nation. The other lesson in Civil Government which can be taogbt in connection with our history, is that which treats of taxes. John Fiske thinks that taxation is the first lesson which should be given in connection with civil government.

Taxation without representation ia usually named as one of tbs causes of the Revolution. The French Revolution arose from tbs foot that the men who levied the taxes were not tbs men who paid the taxes. In a free government it is one of the arts of the demagooge to make the people believe that they are the most tax-ridden populace on the foce of the earth. A comparison of taxation in England, Fraaoe, Germany, Austria. Boaria and Turkey, with taxation anywhere in the United Statee, will enlighten the young citizen on a most fundamental question of government.

Tbe policy of mortgaging fotrre generations by loans on which the people must pay inters for half a century, if not loorer, deserves to be discussed ia every sc bool-room, Above all tbe duty of a jast share of tax for the support of the government and for the edseaso of the eaa- Welcome tlifl Coming and Speed the Parting Go.sts People Yon Know.

G. Underwood, of Valley Spirit, under special engagement, assisted at the Organ Recital in St. Johns Reformed church, Philadelphia. Mr. Underwood sang two solos, It is Enough, by Mendelssohn, and "Glory to Thee, My God, This Night, by Gounod.

The solos were rendered with much animation and expression, our townsman coming in for many compliments upon his excellent baritone voice and his ability to interpret the best composers. In referring to Miss Mary E. Hollowells resignation as a missionary teacher in the Girls School at Sendia, Japan, Bev. Dr. Callender, Secretary of the Foreign Board of the Beformed church, speaks of it as a great surprise to the Board and the resignation as having been accepted with keen regret.

When Miss Hollowell reached this country on furlough, it was her full and expressed intention to return to her work. Subsequently she entered into matrimonial engagement with a merchant doing business in Japan, of which she promptly informed the Board. Such, however, is Miss Hollo well's interest in the work in which she rendered such satisfactory and effective service for Berea years, that she is willing, says the Secretary, to continue her labors in visiting the churches to plead the cause of the work she learned to love so well, until her resignation takes eflect on the 1st of February next.

In the quiet of his North Main street mansion, gratefully and reverently our esteemed townsman, Bev. Dr. James F. Kennedy on Wednesday celebrated his seventy-fifth -birthday. To an eminent degree Dr.

Kennedy has the love and es teem of the eDtire community, and the good wishes are universal that he may have many more years allotted him. Although it is seldom thought of in this light the business or college education ia one of the greatest business enterprises of the country. The 426 colleges and universities that are about to reopen their doors to the 175,000 American college stadenU represent an invested capital of and give employment to 25,000 persona as teachers and officers. If all the professors, students and buildings of all the American colleges were brought together in one loc ility they would form a city of the first magnitude. Counting the amoant expended by the students themselves and that expended in their behalf by the colleges, the total aum paid out for college education 'in this country each year cannot fall short of 1100,000, 000.

It is a fact that the United States spend aaore pro rata for higher eduoation than any other country in the world. The amount per unit of population invested in oollegea and universities is nearly twioe as great as in England, and more than twice as great as in Germany. I Mr. and Mrs. A.
