They may cut the wages in the fac tories, the mills and the furnace, but we never hear of their cutting the wages of sin. Ye editor tells his associates that years of experience has taught him that the best way to manage a wife is let her have her own way. Riches don't always bring happiness but they can give poverty one mile and sixteen rods and then beat it to the station. ••• Brother Pyle is still insuriDg and landscape painting. According to his convictions he will live the simple life the next forty days-going to starve his sins. Peter Beattie tells how he once saved a young lady from drowning, with one hand he held her beautiful head above the water and with the other he cried loudly for help v Summer time is coming when you spend your hard earned money for soda water for your best girl, which makes her froth at the mouth and makes her nose feel lika her foot when asleep. We know ladies who goto parties in decolete gowns, \ shaped back and front, that weuld bo terribly shocked if a man should go in his shirt sleeves. This town is conducive to longevity. We have two residents here that can prove by papers in their possession that they were members of Geo. Wash ington's body guard. The Doctors te;l some people here they need a change of climate "For the Lords sake" we had a climate changa here last week of 50 degrees in 12 hours. An East End friend of ours says his wife makes him wear tucks in his night shirt trimmed with pink ribbons so the baby won't know the diflerence when he walks the floor with it nights. A couple of ladies talking on Broad street, the other day one of them re marked "is your daughter going to mak". her debut this spring". No, an swered the other, we own powder stock now and don't have to do our own sewing. A friend from Williamsport showed us a letter he received from his wife that puzzled him. The letter ended; 'biby is well and lots brighter than she used to be, hoping you are the same, 1 am your loving wife. Henry Zarps is noted for his polite ness to the ladies. A lady came intc his store the other day who had been s little previous in her toilet. Her bell was a few inches higher than it ought tc be. Henry remarked in his "suave"waj lady your curvature is too much iif stairs" # * * In small towns people should be careful not to be too personal. A young lady remarked there is a hog in thif town that ought to take anti-fat. * We have about equal parts of heaver and hell in this world. So we oughl not to be perfect strangers in eithei place in the other world. •* If a person wants to see the lone someness of a lane leading to a grave yard let him go up to Sizerville anc wait two or three hours for a train. A man living at the East End wean his whiskers long to save the expense of buying nccktiess.

H. Cloyes.^F MARUNTON, W. VA., Feb. 27, 1906. FRIEND HARRY: — I wish that you would Bee that the CAMERON COUNTY PRESS is sent me here in the future. I have been look ing over about 7,000 acres of land in this part of the country and after spending three weeks on the same, the Company which I represent have pur chased it. This land is about half hemlock, the other half being red and white oak. The hemlock timber in this country is considerable taller than the hemlock in Pennsylvania and I consider on this track of land, and in fact all others I have examined, it will run about three to four logs to the thousand. We will build a town of our own, which will be located on the Greenbrier Division of the C. & 0., about seven miles below this place. This country is largely made up of Pennsylvania lumbermen in the larger operations, the smaller operations seem to be handled to a large extent by the natives. It is obout 100 miles from here to Elkins. Situated on this 100 miles are at least 100 mills, either directly on the railroad or a short ways hack. About seventy percent, ofthese mills are small ground mills with a capacity of not over 10 to 15 thousand a day, but about thirty per cent of these mills being the modern band mills, some of which cut as high as 150,000 a day. Several Cameron county men are located in this vicinity. E V. Dunlevie, of Cameron, has a modern plant at Dunlevie, at the end of this division He has a beautiful town, well laid out, a very tine band mill, electric light, water works and all other improvements to make an up-to date plant. The C. B. Howard Com pany, of your town, have recently pur chased 30,000 acres of land lying about 10 miles over the mountain from this town and extending through into Randolph county. lam told they have a remarkable lot of timber and they were certainly fortunate in being able to seizure as A 'uody in one o OOK. To give you some idea as to I lie way timber is advancing in this country, I will say that less than a year ago, J. It. Droney, ofOlean, who nearly every business man and woodsman of Em" p-irium know, bought a tract of timber at Glady, West Virginia. This tract was sold in six mouths for §260,000.00 or $100,000.00 more than he paid for it. This track has been sold again since I have been in this country for $375,001 and I am told by people who are familiar with the timber, that the last purchaser has by no means made a bad bargain. The Wilson Brothers, who have had a mill at Huntley, Penn sylvania, for three years, have a large mill at Wiildell, only a short ways from here; have a quantity of fine spruce and hemlock and a large amount of very line cherry. They tell me at the present time that they are cutting about 400,000 feet of this cherry per month. I anticipate returning to Emporium in the near future,or as soon as lean get away for a day or so,and »t thattime will be very glad to call and see you and tell you more about youi many Cameron friends I have met in this part of the country. Yours very respectfully, H. H. CLOYES. Kind Words, THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS pub ! lished at Emporium by Hon. H. H Mullin, is forty years old and startec j last week on its forty-first volume. !

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1906. -lii, l Kil HI Dynamite Collision at Emporium, March 1, 1906. Telephone Talk—George Metzer, Jr., to Improve Emporium Exchange. The PKESS sanctum was invaded by Geo. Metzger, Jr., the originator and promoter and hard-working manager of Emporium telephone lines. Asked "what do you know?" he finally eased up a little and informed lis he had a piece ot news that would no doubt pirate the Emporium patrons ol his line, in the shape of a new switch board, an order for which he had re cently placed with the largest factory in the country. It, will be the very latest and most improved the present state of the telephonic art can produce. When installed the act of taking off the receiver from the hook will call oentral by lighting a small electric lamp just behind your number on the switch board, which remains lighted until you are answered, and when you are through talking the act of hanging up your receiver will give the disconnect signal so it is not possible to forget to "ring off," which is one of the most prolific causes of delay in using the telephone. The system also will allow otsmaller and!.<.. . teltij ho.ies, as alt the batteries will be kept at the central where they will be under constant per sonal supervision of Mr Metzger. This I will exclude anothor frequent cause for ! interruption to service. This improve ment will allow the operators to keep closer watch over their connections without obliging them to constantly | "listen in"on the lines to tell lfyou have gotten your parties, and will give you much improved service and may possibly reduced, rates, although these are now from $6 00 to $12.00 lower than any of the surrouuding towns for the same class of service. The Emporium Telephone Exchange is strictly a home industry, having been I built up from its inception by its pres I eut owner and represents over ten j years of hard work to bring to its pros ent perfection. He took the work up at a time when no one else could be in duced to do so, thus giving Emporium telephone service several years before it would have otherwise been able to get it. Of necessity the apparatu *at that time was crude but the plant has been remodeled several times, keeping it up to the times, but this rebuilding has been expensive so that it has re quired close figuring to make the busi ness pay expenses. Emporium patrons fully appreciate the vast amount of hard work it has called from Mr Metzger to install and manage the business, now extended twenty one miles east, serving all points between Emporium and Siuna mahoning and Sizerville on north, in addition to a long distance connection with the Bell Telephone Co. Mr. Metzger's line is strictly speak ing a home industry and receives the cordial support of our citizens. Mr. Metzger also informs us that his new improvements and increased service may possibly result in lower rates, in fact he desires to give the public the best service possible and keep the ex pense as low as possible, thereby to continue the good will of his patrons and ultimately place the "Emporium | 'phone" in everv business houso, fac j tory and home in Cameron county. : How any person can keep house or ! conduct business without it is a mys- I tery. Local Institute—March 16 and 17. On the earlier date mentioned above an educational meeting will lie held in the evening in the Court House which ' will be addressed by Hon.

A number of well known Republi cans from Cameron came to Bradford today for the purpose of having a con ference with the McKean county men in relation to the congressional situa tion, a meeting being called to be held in the Hotel Ilolly at 3 o'clock p.m. It is understood that Cameron county has a candidate for congress in the person of Captain Charles P. B;ir clay, a prominent lumberman of Sinna mahoning. The meeting was called at tht 1 suggestion of the gentlemen from Cameron county, who came on in force to present their cliims for rec ognition. it is probable however, that the candidacy of Cnptian Barcley will not bo pushed utiles* he receives the assurance of the support 112 McKean from those who are supposed to he in position to give such promises.

"Neighborly Neighbors," a three act musical mixture, with the popular comedian, Mr. Tom Waters, as the star, will be the attraction at the Em porium Opera House, Thursday, March 15th Neighborly Neighbors is a musi cal mixture brimful of catchy melodies and bright lyrics. In gathering the people toother for this production, Manager Frank W Nason has used every precaution t > make it an enseal blufaroutof the ordinary, and how well he has succeeded is shown by the reception accorded the company wherever they have appeared. Neighborly Neighbors is not a llodge Podge by no means, but one of those effervescent and up-to-date musical acidities that never fail to please even the most fastidious of audiences from the rise of the curtain until the final fall of the same on the last act.

How to Boil Water. Good Living. To boil water would seem to be a very simple thing, and yet the late Charles Delmonico used to say that very few people knew how to do it. "The secret is," he said, "in puttting good fresh water into a clean kettle already quite warm and setting the water to boiling quickly, and then tak ing it right off for use in tea, coffee or other drinks before it is spoiled. To let it steam and simmer and evaporate until the good water is in the atmos phere and the lime and iron and drugs only left in the kettle is what makes a great many people sick, and it is worse than no water at all." For water boiled like this and flavored with a few drops of lemon juice Mr. Delmonico used to charge as much as for his best liquors, and he often recommended it to his customers and friends who com plained of IOSM of appetite. It is worth trying. READY FOR BUSINESS.
