United Boys Brigade Encamp
ment.
While enjoying] an auto ride up
Portage ou Monday in Hon. Josiah
Howard's auto, with W.JA. Dalrymple
at the wheel, we noted many improve
ments being made between Emporium
and Sizerville, especially at Sizerville,
where Hon. F. O. Councilman has
made extensive improvements on the
popular Sizer Springs Hotel, providing
first-class accommodations for the
public and built up a large and rapidly
increasing demand for the popular
mineral water flowing from the never
failing spring. His large outlay will
some day, in the near future, re
turn to him in three-fold. We also
noticed how neatly the property of
Wm. R. Sizer looked, every indication
of prosperity and strict attention to
business. The post ollloe is located fin
Mr. Sizer's store and is ably managed
by Mrs. Sizer, as postmistress. :
After viewing the large and beauti
ful body ofland located between Sizer's
store and Robt. McDowell's, we joined
W. H. Howard, Maj. B. Th. Bliss and
Capt. W. B. Powell, of Ridgway, £and
examined the land decided upon Jfor
the United Boys Brigade Encampment
to take place August 11th to ;lßth
Maj. Bliss, who is commander of Third
Battalion of Fifth Regiment, in con
junction with Oapt. Powell, who is Ad
jutant of the Battalion, (in'£addition to
being a graduate of Louisville, Ky.,
Military Academy,) carefully viewed
the grounds and marked out the Jplans
of Camp W. H. Howard. It is fully
expected that this annual camp will be
very largely attended. In addition to
the two companies from Emporium,
two or three companies will come from
Bradford, one from St. Marys and two
or three from Ridgway. The] boys
will have a big time, nice location and
handy to the railroad. All roads will
lead to Camp W. H. Howard between
\u<f. llth-lSth. Don't make any en
gagements that may interfere with
your enjoying the Boys Brigade En
campment.
While coming home we noticed
County Treasurer Chas. J. Howard's
well kept farm—the old Delos Burlin
game farm—and all looked inviting.
Farmer Howard enjoys his country
home and his family also.
Passing by the old John Jackson
farm, we were glad to nee that John L.
Johnson was busy erecting a barn as
large as all out doors. Stick to the
farm and you will wear diamonds
some day and be happy too. Good for
you, John.

Just received a new, line of men's
aot.s at C. B. Hjwi rd & Co's.
The Persevering Queeeer.
"It Id a mazing what pereeveranci
will achieve," said an KugUshman
"Even misdirected perseverance has
achieved marvels. There is the case ol
Itobsou, the great Notts cricketer,
Itobsou during his Australian tour was
determined one sorchlng afternoon
that bis side shouldn't do the hard
work of fielding. Well, when the Aus
tralian captain spun the coin Robsou
shouted, 'Woman!' Then, seeing,thai
heads lay uppermost, instead of ac
knowledging defeat Robsou said, wltli
perseverance and nonchalance:
" 'Well, we'll go in.'
'"But—er—l thought,' said the puz
zled Australian—'you see, I don't quite
know the English meaning of "wo
man." '
" 'Then,' said Itobsou gallantly, 'we'll
toss again.'
"The Australian uiude a second toss.
Itobsou called heads, and tollscame up.
The ordinary man would at this point
have surrendered In despair, but not
so Robeon.
" 'Honors are now easy,' suld he,
with a pleasant smile. 'On with the
rubber.'
The Australian a third time flipped
the coin, and, having at last called the
toss correctly, the persevering Robson
led in bis side to the shady benches."
An Unofficial Order.
Thomas, tenth Karl of Dundonald, at
his death vice admiral In the English
navy, tells in Ills "Autobiography of a
Seaman" of an incident on board the
Hind, on which he served as midship
man. The pet of the ship was a par
rot, the aversion of the boatswain,
whose whistle the bird learned to Imi
tate exactly.
"One day a party of ladles paid us n
visit aboard. By the usual means of a
'whip' on the yardarm several had
been hoisted on deck. The chain had
descended for another. Scarcely had
Its fair freight been lifted out of the
boat alongside when the parrot piped,
'Let go!'
"The order was instantly obeyed
and the unfortunate lady, instead of
being comfortably seated on detflt, was
soused in the sea. Luckily for her, the
men were on the watch and quickly
pulled her out, and, luckily for the par
rot, the boatswain was on shore or
this unseasonable assumption of the
boatswain's functions might have end
ed tragically for the bird."
How Prisoners Converse.
A man who was sent to jail recently
for three days fur a small offense was
greatly impressed with the precau
tions taken to prevent the prisoners
engaging in conversation. There seem
ed to be warders everywhere, and no
one was allowed to utter a word.
On the Sunday he was in the church
the psalm given was the "Old Hun
dredth." Beside him were two old jail
birds, and instead of the orthodox
words beginning "All people that on
earth do dwell" this pair sang a hymn
of their own in conversational style,
which went something as follows:
Plrst convict sings:
"How lonj? are you in for?
I am doina: sixty days.
I nearly broke a copper's jaw.
SInK low or else they'll maybe hear."
Second convict replies:
"You are a luclty pi'j-can.
I've sot twel-elve months to serve.
Tried to break Into a house.
Sonie'dy must have gi'en me away."
By this method they exchanged his
tories during the singing.—Glasgow
News.
Too Humiliating.
A certain spall boy of six is rapidly
assuming manly ways. Not long ago
his "room" at school planned uii enter
tainment. There were to be little
songs and recitations and a mysterious
grab bag. The small boy waxed elo
quent concerning the coming glories of
this show, and more especially the
part he would take.
On the morning of the entertainment
his mother suggested that he should
take his little sister, aged four, with
him. He bung his head.
"Don't you want to take her?" his
mother asked.
"No, I don't," he answered.
"Ajid why not?"
The reply came quickly.
" 'Cause there ain't none of th' other
fellers has to bring their children!"—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
No Acid Needed.
Weary William Ithoades—Say, Hap
py, wot's de difference between us an'
new fall cider?
Happy Harry—Search me.
Weary William Ithoades—Dey don't
have ter put no acid in us ter keep us
frum workin'."
At which the dry hay in the mow
burst into a furious llame.—Exchange.
Getting His Straight.
"I wouldn't make a confidante of
May," said the conceited fellow, with
a self satisfied smirk. "She told me
you said you were crazy to marry me.
Or course she's no friend if'—
"No," interrupted Miss Wise, "and
she's not even a good reporter. I didn't
say I 'was.' but 'would be.' "—Catho
lic Standard and Times.
Noiseless.
Wife—Would it please you. dear, If 1
learned another language? llusbiind -
Yes, it would delight me Infinitely.
Wife—Well, which one shall I study?
Husband—The language.—Smart
Set.
A Woman's Secret.
Biggs—There goes a woman with a
past. Boggs—Yes, and there are about
twenty years more of R than she is
willing to own up to.—New York Jour
nal.
Great is the fact that our interests
gradually take a wider scope, allowing
more scope for the healing power of
compensation.— Dinah Mulock Oralk.
