Big (iaine.
An interesting game of bull was played
at Port Allegany last Monday between
Coudersport and Austin teams, resulting
in favor of Austiu by a score of nine to
five. A large number of base ball sports
from this section attended, yet we did not
hear which side they banked their money.
Not being on the inside we shall take the
liberty of referring our readers to John
Hogan, who has the game down fine.

Secretary Wilson has taken up the
cause of the goat in the interest of
American industry. He complains
that twenty-five million dollars' worth
of goatskins are being Imported annu
ally, with the world supply running
short, while theArnerican farmer to
See in the goat a chance for great profit.
He has issued some statistics which are
impressive. Whether they will stimu
late the goat-raising industry remains
to be seen.
There is this to be said for the goat:
that he is ordinarily inoffensive and
lives cheerfully on a diet so modest
that he puts to shame all other domes
' members of animated nature.
The goat IOVOH » 3 UIET P aßt °ral life anc*
eats any old thing IfOtii tomato canß to
thistles and thrives Without complain
ing. In the far East the goat is re
spected for his m'iny good qualities.
His hair is good for cloth, his meat is
excellent—especially when not too old,
while goat's milk is used extensively
and is by many claimed to be in every
way superior to that of the more aris
tocratic cow. Millions of humanity
live off the goat; why not Americans ?
The suggestion was made that the
goat be turned loose on some of the
abandoned farms of New England. It
seems, however, that althongh the goat
can live on almost anything he cannot
survive on nothing. The rocks of a
New England farm are too tough even
for the digestion of the goat, and the
movement in that quarter has come to
an untimely end. The Secretary, how
ever, wisely says that any farm in the
country can support a number of goats
without any extra expense, and that it
would not be difficult to supply all the
skins the country consumes if only the
matter were taken up intelliffently.
The thanks of the country are due
the Secretary for calling the goat to
the attention of the farmer. There
seems to be more in him than we had
suspected.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Saving The Timber Lands.
The rural residents of Pennsylvania
are slowly awaking to the fact that the
new law gives them a rebate of eouuty
taxes for timber land on their pre
mises up to 50 acres. This is likely to
save many valuable tracks of timber laud
and also leave a few covers for the ruffed
grouse which are slowly but surely being
driven to pretty small quarters in many
counties in the Northeastern part of the
State. We have seen acres of land
cleared of all standing timber and brush,
afterwards burned over and then left to
grow a rank growth of berry bushes and
thistles. This left little protection from
storm for game and placed the land in a
worthless condition for any agricultural
use.
A few years ago many parts of Penn
sylvania afforded fine shooting covers
for grouse. The thickly grown hillsides
and gulleys afforded the finest retreats
for the birds, protecteng them from the
gunner and also giving shelter from the
rigors of the winter. Large acrcas of
swamp land gave unexcelled preservation
to the game—not only from the sports
men, but from the hawks, owls, foxes and
game destroyers. But for the "advance
of civilization" and the desire for more of
country being cleared, or, at least, of land
was the cause of much of this kind the
heavy timber and brush. The birds and
animals were driven off or burned out,
fell a more easy prey to their natural en
emies and apparently disappeared from
that section.
There still remains many thousands
of acres of uncultivated land in this State
parts of which will never be entirely
cleared. There is also considerable tim
ber standing, but much of this is yearly
being taken out by lumbermen. It is to
be hoped that the new law will be re
membered and many tracks of timber
will remain uncut, not only as a refuge
and protection tor game, but for the good
which it does mankind.
Dieting Invites Disease.
To cure Dyspepsia or indigestion it is
no longer necessary to live on milk and
toast. Starvation produces such weak
ness that the whole system becomes an !
easy prey of disease. Kodol dyspepsia j
Cure enables the Stomach and digestive 1
organs to digest and assiliate all of the
wholesome food that one cares to eat, and
is a never fa.ling cure for indigestion,
Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.
Kodol digests what you eat —makes the
stomach sweet. Sold by R. C. Dodson.!

East Emporium, died at the family resi
dence last Sunday, aged about 45 yearß.

V
DOLAN.
Another old resident gone. Patrick
Dolan, of Shippen township, died Sept.
21, 1903, aged 84 years.
Mr. Dolan was born in Ireland, but
early in life removed to Canada. After
a residence there of five or six years he
came to Pennsylvania, where the re
mainder of his long life was spent. In
1848 he married Miss Mary Barns of
Lock Haven, Pa., by whom he had
four children, all of whom survive him.
Since the death of his wife, four years
ago, he has made his home with his
only daughter, who was devoted to her
father's interests. Hl9 dfctjjise will
keenly felt.
Read and Remember,
The following from the Mcfteari
Democrat, is worthy of careful perusal
by lodge members:
One of the incomprehensive things in
life is why a man will join a beneficial
order and pay out money year after
year to retain his membersnip in the
order, but always manages to keep in
arrears just far enough BO that in the
event of illness or an accident that will
incapacitate him for work, he is not in
good standing with the lodge to the ex
tent of being entitled to any benefits
when he needs them most. We have
in mind when we pen these lines a case i
of a young man who belonged to a ben- :
eflcial order, when an accident that ul- i
timately resulted in the death of the i
young man occurred, and the lodge
books disclosed the fact after the injury I
had been inflicted that he was in arrears !
on his dues just three days, so that he ,
was not entitled to any of the liberal |
provisions the lodge makes for its mem- j
bers under those sad circumstances, i
This ought to bo a warning to every I
man who belongs to a beneficial order
that the only safe way is always keep
your dues paid up in advance, as you
know not when sickness or accident
may overtake you.
Letter to E. C. Davison.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: "It costs as much to put-on
poor paint as good"—a common saying
and true —it costs much more to put on |
poor paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or paint
and sand or paint and lime or paint and
chalk or paint and benzine or paint and
water; these are the usual cheat; there
are others.
It takes more gallons of paint-and-a
chcat than of honest paint; and the cost
of tbe labor of painting is so much a gal
lon—one gallon costs as much as another
for labor.
This is the way to reckon your costs
for this year; but how about next year?
Paint Devoe, and next year costs noth
ing; year after next the same; the same
for several years.
Paint anything else, and your costs
recur according to what you paint with.
Some of the mixtures wear one year;
some two; some three.
It costs twice, three times, four times,
five times, as much to paint with a cheat
as to paint with Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.
P. S. Murry & Coppersmith sell our
paint.
Ten Thousand Churches
In the United States have used the
Longman & Martinez Pure Paints.
Every Church will be given a liberal
quantity whenever they paint.
Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for Linseed
oil (worth 00 cents) which you do when
you buy thin paint in a can with a paint
label on it.
8& 6 make 14, therefore when you
want fourteen gallons of paint, buy
only eight gallons of L. & M., and mix
six gallons of pure linseed oil with it.
You need only four gallons of L. &
M. Paint, and three gallons of Oil
mixed therewith to paint a good sized
house.
Houses painted with these paints
never grow shabby, even after 18 years.
These celebrated paints are sold by

the use of Electric Bitters and feel that
I am now cured of a disease that had me
