K the succeeding explanation was made before the last uniform primaries we find, owing to questions that have been asked, tbat it will be well to once more explain that a voter at tbe primaries may only vole for the candidates of one party. Many people still think tbat voter can vote fur some democrats and some republicans, at the primaries April 11. Tbe fact tbBt the primary election is held under tbe law by the regular election board has led to this conclusion. The uniform primaries law, approved Febru ary 17, 19U0, provides that tbe county commissioners shall prepare and furnish the election ollicers fur use at the prima' ries, as many ollicial ballots of each party as are eiiual to double tbe total number of votes cast for any candidate of said parly as are within the election district at the laat general election and Hie names of all the candidates fur nomination by the .Republican parly will be printed on one ballot, the Dames of all tbe candidates for nomination by the Demociatic party will be printed on another ballot, and the Prohibition on another. When a voter euters tbe polls lie will be required to announce which ballot be desires to have and the election officers will furnlHh him with one of the party for which be ask Jt will thus be seen tbat no voter can vote for some Republican? and some Demo crals, as be can only receive one ballot, (,'ood Reading In The Home. Paper by Mrs. F. J. Hendeison, read at the Farmers' Iustitute at Kellettville, ' Ta., March 3, 1908. "Books", Bays Henry Ward Beecher, "are the windows through which the soul looks out, A home without books is like bouse without windows. Let us pity those poor rich men who live barrenly tu great bookless bouses! Let us congratu late tbe poor that in our day books are so cheap! A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessities of life." One who loves good books Is on tbe path leading to all knowledge. He will have company In the midst of solitude, and company of his own choosing. Hu man companionship may fall In respond ing to our moods ol sadness or gladness, but our acquaintance with books will bring us a sympathetic friend for each mood. We may be surrounded by the poorest of earth but, in imagination, have all the worlds' wealth. Our older friends will tell us as they look backward through the years that their opportunities for reading were often most limited. Tbey were taugbt to read front the New Testament owing to a lack of text books. Many country homes had nothing more in the way of reading than an almanac and the bible, and tbe weekly newspaper found a place In a small proportion of tbe homes. But the causes for the lack of reading In those limes is not to be con sidered In these later days. The free de livery of rural mail matter brings books, papers and magazines Into our homes most expeditiously, and the cost of these publications is surprisingly low in com parison with tbat of some years ago. In fact, tbe land is so flooded with publica tions tbat tbe question of choice is the only one left for our consideration. This fact may be blessing, in tbat It furnishes us a wide opportunity for selection, but one's literary taste should be well trained to be able to choose isely. As our sub' Jecl concerns good reading, In Ibe home, we conclude that the home-maker or par ents are responsible to tbe younger members of the family for the quality of reading matter brought Into Ik It Is an Inspiration to children to feel that their parents are In advance of them; tbey en joy Intellectual compauionsbib and are benefitted by looking to their parents for such bblp. Tbey like to know that the people at home are not "behind tbe times," but are thoughtful and alert con cerning questions of the day. Under these conditions children will take advice and help far more readily than in cases wbere the parents bave allowed them selves 10 grow mentally careless. There msy be homes where these helpful in influences are lacking, and in such cases the teacher in tbe publio schools comes next In responsibility and can do much to cultivate a love (or good reading. Our many good series of text-books and sup plementary works contain the finest se lections for ibis purposs. The teacher should bave In mind that reading trains the senses of sight and hearing; it trains tbe powers of observation; it strengthens and develops tbe memory by tbe accum ulation ol a large number of facts. It also develops tbe imagination by descriptions of scenes, places and persons, and as a result of all these causes it exercises tbe udgment and reasoning powers. Hence, no all-round mental development is pos- ible without much and varied reading. How important it is tbat the child as early as possible becomes master of tbla art, since all his later progress depends upon bow he reads and what be reads. It is true tbat tbe mind grows by what It feeds pou, so it Is necessary to distinguish the bad from tbe good. Some standard of excellence is necessary In choosing our reading. Books which are classics, which have survived the criticisms of the years, are praised, loved, and given a place in our mental treasure-house, are safe books ith which we may compare those of latest date. Tbe companions of one's thoughts are as Important as one's companions of flesh nd blood and exert an influence as real, Solomon says, "As a man thlnketh in his heart, so is he." We desire our children to associate with ethers of good thoughts and habits, but are we always as careful cencerning tbe influences tbey receive from tbeir resding? We can in a measure counteract tbe influence of bad company. but can we overcome the suggestions for evil which are ever present in someof the magazines, books and papers? Some of tbe reading is harmful because It lacks literary merit, consequently one's time would be wasted In reading it, for though the thoughts be ever so good they would be bidden by the poor way in which Ihey were expressed. Poor and Incorrect language Is most easily Imitated, and one of tbe best ways of overcoming this fault is by reading from Ibe best authors. One may ream to think In words of the author but if tbe language is wrongly used one receives more harm than good. Again, some of the reading is harmful because of its extreme unreality. We get an Incor rect and distorted view of real things un til In time the mind is unable to distin guished between tbe real and tbe unreal. Many of these cheap publications are written especially for boys and girls of unformed characters and uncultivated tastes, and statistics of our prisons show tbat many youthful criminals bave been led iuto wrong-doing by suggestions of these cheap and demoralizing papers. Some of tbe newspapers should bave no place in the borne because of tbe way in which the news Is presented. The mind Is greatly Influenced by whatever la brought persistently to its attention, and when news of murders, suicides, railroad wrecks, scandals, misfortunes and hor rors of all kinds are exaggerated In do- scripllon, tbe ell'ecl is depressing. This lorm of news is sent broadcast with the idea tbat the greater the shock produced in the readers' minds the greater the in terest. But an Interest inspired by the horrible things of life is not a bealtblul diet for the mind to bave daily, espec ially in youth. The books and magazines in which stories of war, fighting, bate, and the adventurous side of life are de scribed, should also be prohibited. The descriptions are coarse, the suggestions impure, the language usually vulgar slang. The pictures which accompany these are as suggestive of evil as tbe language, and strike the eye where many would not give a moment to the reading. We can keep theso corrupting influences out of the home by furnishing what Is good. The time to direct tbe child's thoughts is in the beginning, and if they have acquaintance with none but the boutrcadiug there will be a cultivated taste which will be a guide in all the fu ture. Wbere there is something good to read, with a good light, and comfortable chair waitiug for our boys they will uot complain for "something to do," or fidget and fuss until they can get out to run In the streets. "Home Is where the heart is," or In other words our children will wish to be where they are attracted moat. Surely the parents are responsible If home is not the most attractive place lor those In our care. With the works of a good author tbey are In the world's best company. Many of the authors of boys' and girls' books have a knowledge and love of youth which aids them In suggest ing tbe most helpful things In the most attractive way. There are the daily newapapers which present all the news tn a clean way and with well-written ed itorials. Tbe weeklies are more reliable perhaps tor tbey bave more time to judge tbe importance of news and Its eflVct up on tbe publio. Children should be taugbt to discrimi nate In reading newspapers, selecting only Ibe things of importance. A few good magazines should be In reacb as tbey present the or) stallized thought of tbe time, and are a record of the world's best results tn Invention, travel, fiction and scientific research. Many of tbe best books bave first appered in serial rorni In tbe magazines. The boys should bave a paper specially devoted to their own in terests', tbe moat highly recommended perhaps, being the "American Boy." This is suggestive of gouu In all its de partments, and Is an Inspiration to a boy to be Inventive, industrious, healthful and honorable. Tbe girls bave specially prepared publications, some ofthe world's best authors and artists being contribu tors. Our Sunday Schools, too, bave many publications, some of which are edited by the foremost bible scholars. To supplement this equipment every home should possess a good dictionary and atlas. Then when the reading is un derstood good selections should be mem orized. A great pleasure to aged or ill persons is tbe ability to recall selections memorized. No matter bow tiresome tbe occupation, or how long the hours, pleas ant pictures of what we bave read will brighten the surroundings. There is no excuse for lack of suitable reading in any home, but in case oue should be cut oil' from these sources of reading, and bave a bible in his possession, be would bave the Book of Books indeed. For several generations the only book the people of New England knew was the bible. They studied the alphabet, learned to read from It, and committed large parts of it tn memory. It was from among these peo ple whose minds were tilled with tbe beautiful language ofthe bible, that Bry ant, Longfellow, Whittier, Lowell, Holmes, Emerson, Tboreau, and many other famous authors were inspired and educated to tbeir literary work. Senator Beveridge has pronounced tbe bible tbe best and most lasclnatiDg body of litera ture in tbe world. It contains the records of tbe most significant history, states manship, and diplomacy. It touches every note In tbe scale 01 human exper ience. It is rich In gems of Inspiring poetry, splendid oratory, discriminating essays, practical philosophy, and is the world's best compendium of short stories. He also advises every law student who has ever consulted him, to study the laws of Moses before he begins his Blackstone, and keep on studying the laws of Moses after he has finished his law course. As may be Inferred from this our civlo laws are founded on the Mosaic laws, and in all history mankiud has not succeeded In improving upon them, as they cover every conceivable complication in human relationship. All books tbat bring us Into sympathy and harmony with God's Book, whether they be of science, history, or books of philosophers, poets, sages, or saints, are good books to bave in our homes and In our hearts. To the Public. Tbe following article Is published as an advertisement. Eu. George W. Osgood, candidate for As sembly, of this county, was born at Buck Mills (Venango) now Forest county, Pa., on July 4, 1852. As a candidate it is fair that tbe people should know some thing of bis life and Bervice in the past. His falher, Hiram Osgood, was an old and respected lumberman and farmer, who was born at Osgood Island, In the same township. He 1b also a grandson of tbat well known pioneer, Amzy Pur dy, who was one of the earliest and most prominent settlers In tbe Tionesta valley, Geoige W. made bis first trip on Tlo- nesta Creek when he was but a youth of nine years of age, and made a trip to Pittsburg, when be was but twelve. He attended the common schools diligently and acquired as good a business educa tion as they afforded. Later in Hie he always took a great Interest In schools, as he was chosen for several years a school director by bis fellow citizens. Becom ing a pilot on the creek when but four teen years of sge, running rafts for Mr, White, Jobber for Wheeler, Dusenbury it Co., be lollowed tbe creeK and river, pi loting rafts and boats numberless times almost np to the present. He baa held many oflices of trust In the county. When only twenty-one years of age he was appointed tax collector, and during his life long residence in Kingsley of about fifty years, held many township offices, performing bis duties faithfully. In 1902 be was elected State Delegate to tbe Republican convention held at Mar- rlsburg. In IR03-4 lie served asChairman of tbe Republican County Committee, So this record shows that he has always been useful as a township officer, true to hi constituents and party affiliations during bis whole life which has been wilhin the borders of Forest county. Rkpubi.ioanh will bear In mind that next Saturday Is Primary election (lay There should be no absentees on this occasion, as the question of who you candidates are to be Is a very Important one to tbe party. Every Republican should feel it a great privilege as well as bis boundon duty to turn out and cast bis ballot for the man of his choice, for in this way alone can satisfactory candidates be named. Let no ordinary matter keep you away from the polls next Saturday Tbe polls will be open from 2:00 o'clock till 8:00 in the evening. A big turnout means a good ticket fur the fall election Over 100 guests at the Lafayette Hotel Meadvillo, were compelled to make hurried exit in their night clothes early Saturday morning when fire destroyed tbe hotel square, causing a loss estimated at (100,000. The insurance on the several properties destroyed is $77,850. Tho lire bioke out at 2: to iu the morning. OIL GUSHER ON CHURCH LOT Service Had to Be Abandoned, but Congregation May Now Pay It Debts. Butler, April 7. Sunday services of the Reformed congregation at Peters vllle, In the "cabbage patch" oil field, were Interfered with through the striking of a gusher by the Acorn Oil company on the church lot within 50 feet of the edifice. The well enme In Saturday even ing and made a fine flow during the night and In the morning, rendering it necessary to work a large force Sun day to take care of the oil. The well is a God send to a struggling congre gation with a heavy church debt. The trustees, who brought dissen sion In the congregation by leasing the ground for oil speculation, are jubilant today and sevveral members of the flock who declared It wrong to drill for oil on the property are re ported to have changed their minds. The gusher, it is predicted, will jleld enough revenue to pay off the church debt and the pastor's salary, and provide n:oney to keep up the church expenses. There Is already talk of raising the pastor's salary and erecting a new rirsonage. The well may settle to a 100-barrel producer. Itoro School Report. TIONESTA SCHOOL SEVENTH MONTH.
