The Things That Last Are All
in Pennsylvania, Said Kipling
Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Waahlngton. D. a—WNTJ Service.
AFTER having visited the
l sixty-seven counties of
Pennsylvania, trod the streets
of all its teeming cities, gazed
on its noble mountains, saun
tered through all its glorious
highland valleys, motored
along all its fine rivers, trav
eled through its dense, young
forests, inspected its finest
farming areas and studied its
amazing industries, it be
comes easy to understand
how Kipling, after a trans
continental trip, could write:
“They are there, there with earth
immortal
(Citizens, I give you friendly
warning): '
The things that truly last when men
and time have passed.
They are all in Pennsylvania this
morning.”
From the heart of Market street
In Philadelphia to the famous
“Point” in Pittsburgh and Logs
town down the Ohio; from Easton
| and Bethlehem to New Castle and
Sharon; from busy Chester on the
Delaware to thriving Erie on the
lake; from Matamoras, farthest
east community, to Greene, the
southwestemmost county; the his
toric, the eye-delighting, and the
industrial are bound together in
every prospect.
Where the commerce of Philadel
phia throbs, William Penn lived;
Benjamin Franklin wrought and
philosophized; the Declaration of In
dependence had its birth; and the
federal Constitution was created.
Where Braddock fought and was
fatally wounded now lives a teem
ing population, and hard by are
some of the principal industrial
plants of the world. The Edgar
Thompson Steel mills, the Westing
house Electric, and scores of others
stand on ground that was within
earshot of the fateful battle; and it
is stated that a heavier tonnage
moves within twelve miles of Brad
dock’s field than in any other area
of its size.
Vast Industries Are There.
The coal that comes down the
Monongahela; the ore that moves
from the Great Lakes; the iron and
steel fabricated in the Pittsburgh
district’s scores of mighty plants;
all the commodities bound east and
west and north and south by rail
and river—all these, the most con
centrated tonnage in the world, pass
by or within a dozen miles of the
spot where the hostile savage
turned back the English forces.
On the Ohio between Economy
and Baden, where Dam No. 4
stretches across the river, is the
vast plant of the Byers company,
manfacturers of wrought iron. In
front of the plant offices is a marker
which proclaims the site of Logs
town, where George Washington,
carrying the greatest “message to
Garcia” of all our history, negotiat
ed and bargained with the Half King
and his confreres lor an escort to
Fort Le Bouef.
Across the bridge, a stone’s throw
down the highway, is a smaller
marker proclaiming the site where
Gen. Anthony Wayne had his win
ter camp.
In sight across the river is the
Aliquippa had her cornfields.
Here where Indian conferences
created tribal agreements and
wampus belts sealed bargains be
tween redskins and paleface, giant
furnaces and mills now mix slag
and purified iron and produce more
than half of the nation’s wrought
iron pipe.
Almost Forgotten Romance.
Everybody knows the stories of
Gettysburg and Valley Forge, but
how many know the story of Ole
Bull and his castle in the wilds of
the big woods of the Kettle creek
country? Every travel folder and
historical map tell of the chief
points of interest in Philadelphia,
Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Erie,
but who bears of the birth and boy
hood days of Robert E, Peary spent
perb work in the heart of the Al
leghenies, of Horace Greeley’s Uto
pia, or of the French settlement at
Asylum?
Likewise, everyone knows some
thing of the oil romances of Titus
ville and Oil City, but how few know
of the rejuvenation methods in the
Bradford field now in full swing!
ThQ story of Ole Bull’s hapless ad
venture in the heart of the Big
Woods, where the Viking virtuoso
dreamed his dream of “a new Nor
way, consecrated to Liberty, bap
tized with Independence, and pro
tected by the Union’s mighty flag,”
is one that stirs the heart of every
admirer of the artist.
During his concert tours through
the South, Ole Bull had encountered
many of his countrymen, whose ef
forts to acclimate themselves in
balmier areas than the lands of
their birth had brought them priva
tions, hardships, and ill health.
Later, when touring northern Penn
sylvania, he found in the heart of
Potter county a large area rem
iniscent of Viking land itself. He
bought it and started to build there
his "new Norway.”
Some 800 of his countrymen
flocked to his haven in the heart of
the mountains. Three hundred
houses, a store, and a church were
built. For himself, he erected a rus
tic castle of unhewn, unmortared
stone on a little bluff overlooking
Kettle creek.
End of Ole Boll’s Colony.
In the intervals between concert
tours, the violinist would go among
his people. There he would seat
himself on the ramparts of his cas
tle, and "reproduce the rush and
roar of rapid streams, the frolic of
the winds through the rocky glens,
and the tempest’s crash on the
mountain top.”
To this day as one motors down
the historic old Coudersport and
Jersey Shore turnpike, past the
hamlet of Oleona, one may see the
remains of the old castle and fancy
he hears Kettle creek and its rocky
glens echoing back the music that
imitated them fourscore years ago.
All went well with this new Nor
way of America until one night
when Ole Bull was entertaining
some friends in his castle. A mes
senger rode up and carried a notice
from the actual owner of the prop
erty. The men who had sold it to
him had no title. The rtal owner
was a Philadelphia merchant
For five years Ole Bull fought a
losing battle in the courts against
those who had sold him land they
did not own, earning the costs of
his suit by his concerts. In the end
he got small damages. But mean
while the colony had perished.
Prince Gallitsin's Mission.
In the heart of the Alleghenies,
high above Johnstown and Altoona,
there are markers, memorials, and
institutions which preserve the
memory of a prince who elected to
become a pauper in order to serve
the cause of Christ and to carry
His message of benevolence and
brotherly kindness to the humble
mountain folk of the region. Prince
Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin was
born in Holland in 1770. His father
was Russian ambassador to the
Netherlands and his mother the
daughter of a field marshal of Fred
erick the Great
At the age of seventeen he picked
up a Bible in a bookstore and be
gan to study it with the result that
he became a convert of the Church.
Later his father sent him to Amer
ica for a season of travel. Once
here he decided to spend a season's
theological studies in Baltimore.
Then, after ordination in 1795, he
started out as a traveling mission
ary. Erecting a log church on the
west slope of the Alleghenies, he
traveled far and wide, visiting
homes where bare floors were his
bed, his saddle a pillow, and his
food the coarsest mountain fare.
Prince Gallitzin lost his alL His
father left what was to have been
his patrimony to his sister. But he
used tiie money his mother gave
him for his mountain mission work,
and at Loretto that work is still

HELP!
The car swerved across the street,
mounted the pavement, and crashed
into the plate-glass window of the
big shop.
The driver, a young and pretty
girl, climbed out of her seat, to be
questioned by the stolid police-ser
geant.
“Surely,” said the limb of the law,
sternly, "surely on a wide road like
this you could have done something
to avoid an accident?”
“Oh, but I did!” said she, tragic
ally. “I screamed as loudly as I
could.”—Tit-Bits Magazine.
George and Dragon
A tramp called at the side door (n
a hotel named “The George and
Dragon.”
“Could you spare a copper, lady?”
he begged. “I haven’t had a bite
all day.”
"Certainly not,” snapped the
woman, banging the door.
In answe'r to a knock a few min
utes later she was surprised to find
the same tramp.
“Well, what do you want?” she
exclaimed.
“Please, lady, could I see George
this time?” asked the man.
TIME MOVES SLOWI/S
Mrs. Peck—Tom, you’ve forgotten,
we’ve been married one year today.
Mr. Peck—No, I haven’t forgotten.
Only I can’t realize that it’s been
only one year.
Skeleton in the Closet
Nell—I hear that you and Elmer
are engaged. I don’t suppose he
told you that he was engaged to me
last year?
Belle—Well, dear, he did say
something about there being things
in his past he was ashamed of, but
he didn’t go into details.
Why Ask?
Liza, the negro cook, answered
the telephone one morning, and a
cheerful voice inquired, “What num
ber is this?”
Liza was in no mood for trifling
and said with some asperity, "You
all ought to know. You done called
it!"
Ins and Outs
"I am told that you know all the
ins and outs of politics."
“I don’t pay so much attention to
the outs,” replied Senator Sorghum.
“The ins are usually the fellows who
have most of the real influence.”
Education
Farmer Hicks—What did your son
learn at college?
Farmer Slicks—Well, sir, he
hadn’t been home three days be
fore he showed me how to open a
bottle with a halfdollar.

What You Seek
Have you ever thought how
many objects you pass without
even noticing them; how many
voices and sounds fail to register
with you?
It seems that one usually sees
what he is looking for and hears
that to which his ears are attuned.
Perhaps this is what Emerson
had in mind when he said that no
one brings back from Europe any
thing which he did not take over
with him. (Excluding merchan
dise of course.)—Ohio Farmer.
