The young man reports a pleasant

the near future.
Lumbering Conditions About Us.
Mid-winter finds the lumbering con
ditions in the vicinity of Austin in tho
worst possible shape. Very few of the
sub-jobbers are solvent and a trip to
the woods will be productive of seeing
dozens of idle men, many of them with
orders for their wages in their pockets.
Thsy have been unable to obtain their
hard earned wages and are chary about
working under the present conditions.
This is practically the condition of
affairs with the Messrs. Fee Brothers. !
Up Crooked Run, there is not a single j
jobber whose orders have not been re- i
fused. The writer recently saw a young !
man from Center county, Mr. Peter !
Miller,go home empty handed although
he had earned a stake of nearly fifty
dollars which he was unable to collect.
Many of Mr Hart's jobbers have gone
up in smoke but in justice to that gen
tleman it must be said he has in every
instance protected the men who did the
work. We have yet to hear of a single
man being beaten out of his pay on
any of Mr. Hart's work although we
have heard of that gentleman going
down in his own pocket and liquidating
debts he knew there was no possible
chance of ever being repaid to him.
Salt Run appears more favored than
other localities. Will Reese is working
a small crew of men and they are as
sure of their pay as if they were em
ployes of Uncle Sam. Ed. Haughney
also is doing good work and like Mr.
Reese is making some money. There
may be others on "easy street" in this
territory but we wouldn't want them
to owe us over a thousand dollars at
any one time.
Crooked Run has surely been rightly
named, for some of the deals that have
come to the writer's notice have the ear
marks of not being exactly straight.
Jobbers have beaten their men, at least
the men cannot gettheir pay—but these
same jobbers can goto the store and
buy all the groceries, clothing, etc.,
they desire without a word of question. '
In some instances the men have been
informed that they could "trade out
their wages if they so desired '' Prob
ably a rigid enforcement of the law
against "company stores" would not
be amiss just now over in the woods
In speaking of Crooked Run, there is
one exception to the general rule in
that locality. That is /jhe work being
done on Hart's job by Mr. Walter B.
Moore of Port Allegany. Mr. Moore's
finances are such that he could do a
dozen such jobs and scarcely realize
their drainage of his bank account.
Besides, Mr. Moore is making money.
This simple fact speaks volumes for
his executive ability as a woodsman,
and his popularity with the hicks
speaks louder still for the straightfor
ward and manly principles he is noted
for.
Mr. Moore has no"pay days." When
a man earns his money it is due him,
without any question or cavil, and that
gentleman's name on a check is the
most popular paper obtainable at pres
ent up Crooked Run. While notspeak
ing authoraiively, The Republican has
heard said repeatedly that neither Mr.
Geo. F. Hart or Al. Baldwin will accept
any work the coming season. The
withdrawal of these gentlemen from
lumbering will mean the immigration
of the better class of woodsmen from
this vicinity.—Austin Republican.
Those early Spring suitings have ar
rivedat R. Seger & Company's fctailor
ing establishment. Some very fine
bargains.
From the Bellefonte News we learn
that the M. E. Church of that place
have passed resolutions highly com
mendatory of Rev. W. P. Shriner and
request his appointment to that city for
another year.
The Galveston News gives a resume
of the damage done by the terrible
storm last September, giving the prop
erty loss at $17,058,275. Number of
homes destroyed was 4,131. Since the
storm $'2,258,600 has been expended in
building In each district, which was
swept clean by fche storm, more than
1,000 houses have been built. The total
relief received by Galveston, including
money and supplies, was $1,549,000.
Galveston's retail trade since the storm
has been better than before the storm.
The wholesale houses suffered very
heavy losses, but are ready for 1901
business. Galveston rises from the
wreck and ruin of the storm and flood
with a determination to live, and in a
lew years the frightful calamity will be
no more than a bitter memory.

An exchange says:"The law pro
vides that school directors, by one or
more of their number, shall visit every
school in the district at least once each
mcntb, and shall cause the results of
each visit to be entered on the min
utes."
The Goodyears are preparing to test
a great contrivance at their Potter
county lumber operations. It is a ma
chine to cut down trees, peel bark and
cut logs It is owned by the New York
syndicate and when fastened to a tree
will peei it from the ground to the
limbs, then cut down the tree and saw
it int > logs. It is operated by an easily
movable power, and, owing to the close
ness to the ground which it cuts a tree,
effects a great saving in lumber.—Brad
ford Star.
A writer in the Jamestown Journal
says Asa Carr's people of Russell have
been troubled for a long time with
honey bees coming into their house
and lately they became so numerous
that Mr Carr concluded to investigate
and find their home. He removed
several of the weather boards on the
side of the house where he found an
immense lot of honey. We understand
that when it was all removed it weigh
ed 120 pounds. Surely it was a sweet
find.
An exchange is moved to remark:
Among the most enterprising people in
every community are the merchants
and shopkeepers. They are always
ready to help every public enterprise to
the extent of their ability. When they
have money they invest it. Now, in
order to encourage enterprise and start
in the new century right, let every cit
izen arrange to pay all his old bills.
Economize a little if necessary; even
borrow a little, if forced to do so, but
by all means pay the bills that you owe
and lay the foundation for better times.
Two young people ot Jersey City,
desiring to marry and not having
enough money, have entered into an
agreement, which was duly drawn up
before a Justice of the Peace, to con
tribute weekly to the raising of a fund
of §ISOO. If in two years the sum shall
not have been completed the idea of
marriage is to be forever abandoned.
It is provided that the woman is to con
tribute $lO a week and the manonly
§5. This is not because his incidental
expenses will be greater than those of
the woman during the two years, but
because he is making only $lO a week,
while she makes sl4.
The new game bill now before the
Legislature does not change the open
season in any particular, but cuts down
the number of pheasants, wild turkeys
and deer that may be taken any one
day or season by a single hunter. No
person shall kill in a single day more
than five pheasants, nor kill more than
two turkeys or one deer in one season.
Rabbits may be killed from the 15th
of October to the 15th of December, and
you may kill them any other time when
known to be destroying fruit trees or
vegetables on your premises. The law
continues to prohibit selling of pheas
ants, woodcock or quail, or shipment of
same out of the State. The reduction
in the number of pheasants that may
be taken in any one day to five is a
great improvement on the old law, and
will have a tendency to stop the work
of the game hog.—Ex.
The Punxsutawney Spirit treating on
human frailties says: People who have
small intellects like noise. Intellectual
people who have thoughts to think, and
enjoy thinking them, detest noise.
Children and people who are almost
purely animal, enjoy hubbub and tur
moil. A healthy imbecile likes to rattle
a chain, pound with a stick, or do any
thing to make a noise. Give him a horn
to blow, a drum to beat or a bell to ring
and he will grin like a wood fox.
Bright little children will do the same.
What Josh Billings terms an "ordinary
damphool," will whistle or sing, or beat
the devil's tatoo with his fingers to
keep hiß meagre intellect busy. Wealthy
people who have no particular brains
to speak of and nothing to do, put on
claw hammer coats and low necked
dresses and goto balls, whore they act
like savages at a snake dance to the
musicofan orchestra. They call them
| telves "society." Society people are
any sort of people who can amuse
themselves with frivolities. What is
j known as "high society" may be dis
tinguished from ordinary society by the
fact that its members drink champagne
i instead of beer. That is the purely
j animal idea of pleasure.

Letter to Fred Julian.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: Is a gallon of paint a gal
lon of paint, or half-a-gallon ? Some
times one, sometimes the other. E. P.
Lynch, and his prepecessor, Delhi, N.
Y., sold a well-known mixed paint for
twenty years—lt's a good paint, as
mixed paints go.
N. Avery owns two houses exactly
alike there. He painted one four years
ago with this mixed paint—took 12 gal
lons. Last spring, he painted the oth
er house with Devoe; bought 12 gallons
and had six gallons left. Same painter:
George Gilbert. Same result, so far as
looks go.
But the point of this tale is: Ist: That
a paint is dear or cheap according to
what it is; no matter about the price.
2nd: That a gallon of one kind of paint
can contain twice as much paint as a
gallon of another kind of paint.
Devoe goes twice as far as Mixed
Paint—two to one—but that isn't all.
This story, however, skips the rest—
how it wears is the rest.
Another, same town—Ferguson &
Thompson's store was painted some
years ago with this same Mixed Paint
—32 gallons. Repainted last spring
with Devoe. Mr. Lynch said 16 gallons
would be enough. Thev have 3 gallons
left.
Yours truly,
22 F. W DEVOE & Co.
