He went home one night as tired as a dog, Sat down in a chair with a thud like a log, Said Pm going to move there's no use of talking, I'm getting too old to do so much walking. So he got a house iu the brick pavement square' Where he could dress up on Sunday and sling on airs, Then he went back home got things tore up. And roared around like a poisoned pup. There is the old stove, she's got togo, Be careful old man now take it slow. He lifted and lugged and sweat and swore, Till he got the stove out of the door. Then he nipped off his brow said there is no use of laggiug, We have got to get the darned thing out on the wagon, He worked and he t All day long, But the work wasdii. Nt than the hammer and t'Jng. And the only smile the poor fellow showed, Was when he wentthrough town on thelast load. But now he is settled of course you all know, And the manthat moved is blacksmith Joe. F. L. 8. A Pleasant Time. Iu stroling over Whittemore Hill on I last Monday evening, as I passed by the school house,l noticed it was light i ed up and that there was something doing, so I dropped into have a good time with the rest. I was not in long when I found that it was near the last of the school term and that the child ren were speaking pieces. After the exercises they had refreshments which the children enjoyed, also tliejvisitors. Those present that did not live on the hill were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Radigan, Miss Welch and Mrs. Hout, of Emporium, Mrs. Emma Whittemore, of liinghamton, N. Y., and myself. Miss Alice Quigley, the teacher, is to be congratulated for the successful way in which she conducted her school for the last two years, she haviug the con fidence and respect of the scholars who have advanced well under her able teaching. She is also to be congratu lated for the able manner in which she handeled the phonograph—it was the most distinct and natural one I ever heard. Do not know the patent, was not an Edison. 1 was told it was loaned for the occasion and belonged to Harry Forrester, of W. Va. CACTUS BURR For the Farmer.

America's Majestic Sea-Line. — Wonderful Array of Battle Ships on Hampton Roads, Never yet has Norfolk-of-old the port of naval rendezvous witnessed so im posing an assemblage of war craft as now lies in the harbor between Old Point Comfort and the Exposition Grounds. Through but the advance guard of the great gathering of fleets that will be here during the Exposi tion, the fleet is impressive, not only for its numbers and power, but by rea son of the fact that it is wholly Ameri can. Sixteen first class battleships strung along a line extending threo milos, with a number of secondary craft make up this stupendous array of the nation's ocean power, presenting a spectacle to stir the soul of patriotism. Other ships are daily lengthening this majestic line, and never before have Americans been privileged to witness the power of the nation in such com pact concourse. This first constitutes the greatest assemblage of American war ships ever held. It is the great new navy on parade; the new navy with which the nation has assumed the second place among the naval powers of the earth. The fleet is manned with over five hundred officers and thirteen thousand men. Twenty abreast this splendid host of American seamen on the march would take two hours to pass a given point. The passage through this formidable line on one of the many ferry boats that ply on Norfolk harbor, will arouse the amazed interest of the dullest, and one feels that the nation can never go wrong while such ships and such men stand sentinels at its sea gates, There is already, a grand exposition on the waters of Hampton Roads, worth alone a trip across the contenent to witness. Slaughter of the Innocents. Friday and Saturday, April 26th and 27th, although ten days after the closed season for wild ducks, geese, brant, swan, coot and mud hen, countless numbers of those fowls wore ruthlessly slaughtered or wounded and left to die along the banks of our streams by our local game hogs. As the -water -.van ; too high to securo t!i» birds even after they were killed or wounded, they lloated down stream to become a crea tor of decease germs or if not killed outright were left to die along the shores. As the mating season is now on it seems a shame to kill these birds as the average wild duck will ordinari ly raise from eight to sixteen birds, so that every female killed at this time means not only the loss of that one duck but of the brood that she would have mothered. It does not take much intelligence to appreciate, that this kind of butchery will lead to entire extinction in a very short time. It seems sad that human and intelli gent persons would deliberately kill birds at the time nature has allotted for the propagation of their species. The game laws are very plain on this point as on page 41 of the game laws of Pennsylvania, in the last part of sec tion 15, Act of 22nd, 1905, we find the following: The open season for wild goose, wild duck, brunt, swan, coot or mudhen shall be from the first day of September to the first day of January next following and from the first day of April to the sixteenth day of the same month. It is safe to say that at least five hun dred waterfowl were slaughtered in violation of the game laws of Pennsyl vania on Friday and Saturday, April 26th and 27th, between Emporium and Renovo and the guilty parties should be taught a lesson they should not soon forget. AN INDIGNANT CITIZEN. Hon. L. Taggart's Joke. One of the large plate glass windows in Taggart's drug store has been re placed by a handsome new pane. In order to escape answering so many qestions, Len. hung up the following notice: "This window was broken J from the building settling. We wish I that some of our customers would go ; broke from same re son." "Are You A Mason?" There may bo nothing new under the sun but there are more laughs in I "Are You A Mason" than in any farce j comedy of the past twenty years. That is why it has been a tremendous I success in every civilized country of j the world. This always welcome play will be the attraction at the Em i porium Opera House, this Thursday evening, May 2nd. If you long for that agreeable feel ing—self respect, letßedard make your suits. 9-tf.

Lloyd, who con tinues to hold his sides with laughter when meditating. The Ridgway brothers were untiring in their efforts to please all the visitors Ridgway is a wide awake town, full of enterprising business men who continue to erect large and substantial business blocks, equal in style to those of large cities. The Masonic bodies have broken ground for a Masonic Temple, 60x130, four stories with loft, which will be one of llnest at Elk's capitol—solid brick and stone. It will be a "dandy" Base Ball. The first game of the season will be held at Keystone Park, next Saturday, May 4, between Emporium and Port Allegany nines.

Wild ducks, in large numbers, ap peared on the streams in this section last Friday. We regret that sports men, as well as others, slaughtered the ducks in great numbers, evidently for sport, for the dead fowl floated down the stream. This was a flagrant viola tion of the law, as will be seen by read ing the law of 1905, page 41: "The ojJen season for wild goose, wild duck, brunt, swan, coot, or mud hen shall be from the first day of September to the first day of January following, and from the first day of April to the Sixteenth day of the same month." How to Beat the Gas Company. It seems that everybody now knows how to burn ashes, but it remained for Joe Anderson, brakeman on the shifter at the passenger depot, to tell people how to burn bricks. Anderson's scheme beats anything in the fuel line so far heard of. Three bricks after being treated to his firemaking solu tion, will keep an intense heat in a stove for twenty four hours. And then their is no smoke or ashes. This is the Anderson scheme. Put the bricks in strong salt water for half a day and afterward put them in coal oil until they are thoroughly saturated. Then they are ready to burn, and the cost of this kind of beat is much cheaper than burning ashes.—Altoona Mirror. "Are You A Mason?" Here are some facts. "Are You A Mason" is coming to the Emporium Opera House, this Thursday evening, May 2nd. This clever comedy is one of the most popular plays ever staged. It will play to one of the biggest houses of the season. The wise man is he who buys his seats early. When Doctor liardwell was defeated for County Tteasurer three years ago, he took his medicine like a man and made no complaint, but has supported the republican ticket loyally ever since, and many voters think that he is justly entitled to the nomination now. Es pecially so as the new law gives him a better chance to win. adv Free Samples of "Proventics" and a booklet on colds will be gladly mailed you, on request, by Dr. Shoon, Racine, Wis., simply to prove merit.

The' President is out of town, Taft is off to Ohio, the Secretary of State and most of the Cabinet officers have gone officially to Jamestown, and some of them liave managed to get switched off in other direct ions. Aml the lethargy of stunmer is beginning to settle on the town. But it, will not he a quiet summer. All eyes are on Ohio, and will bo till the fight there is over, and every move of the President is being watched by both friends and foes to see whether it has not some hidden bearing on the general political situation. The latest rumor that has been put out in the Ohio campaign and that has not even been noticed to be ignored at the White House, is that the Taft, candidacy is all a bluff and that lie is really being used as a stalking horse for the President who is after a "second elective term." This i.-- anew way of referring to the third term, and was concocted by some of the ad vocates of the third term proposi tion who thought it sounded better than the hold third term statement. , But it can be said that Secretary Taft is not worrying. Ite has gone into the Ohio fight with the idea of winning, but lie will not be heart broken if lie does not. One of the most serious features of the situation against him now is the opposition that lias been stirred up by the labor union element over tlio President's alleged impolitic reference to Moyor, Hay ward and Debs on the eve of the trial of the first two for the uiurder of Gov. Steuenbcrg of Idaho. The light of the Western Federation in the cases of M oyer and Hay ward, who are among its high officers, lias been taken up b}' many labor unions, and it looks as though Secretary Taft were going to ha ve the opposi tion of the whole organized labor element in Ohio on the strength of it. It will be remembered that the President in the course of the Harri nian controversy, brought forward a letter in which he had referred to Moyer, Hay ward and Debs as "undesirable citizens." All of the champions of Moyer and I fay ward were quick to take up the words and declare that the President was trying to influence the course of justice iu a pending case by his reference to the Idaho murder. Then the President came back with a characteristic reply, in which he denied any intention or ability to influence a pending case by his ref erence, and added insult to injury by saying in effect that Moyer and Hay ward were all that ho had call ed them orginally and that he has no regrets to express over any thing he had said. But the result has been to bring out a lot of pro tests from professionel labor men all over the country, and the op position will be quick to take ad vantage of the occurance to make it as hard as possible for Taft in Ohio and elsewhere.
