Snako stories are a little out of sea

Mcintosh says ditlcrently nnd claims to
have killed a snake on Christmas day

aro not going to make affidavit to the

don't know who'hor ho was "celebrating"

Chinese physicians are paid by the
mouth as long as their patients are well
but when they fall sick the doctors getinj
fees. This appoars to be a pretty wise
provision, for by this method ono pays
for being well and not for being sick.
This tends to make the doctors more
preventative thau; curative of the ills to
which humanity is subject. But it is
doubtful, however, if the practice tends
to improve the art of healing.
Last Friday while handling a 22-eal-
lbro revolver Leonard Blum accidentally
shot his 3jiinr brother, Fred, in the
fleshy part of the right leg above the knee
about six inches. The ball entered the
front part and lodged near the skin at the
side of his thigh, from whence it was ex
tracted by Dr. Morrow. In some mys
terious manner the same bullet passed
through Leonard's right forefinger but
did not strike the bono. Neither of tho
boys is seriouly hurt, fortunately, but
both have learned a lesson that we hope
they, as well as all other of our boys, will
keep iu memory.

Christum was beautiful and pleas

fairly good sleighing. Just inch weath

in Tionesta there being no demonstration
of an unusual character. Santa (Mans
was abundantly in evidence In every
home, we guess and young and old were
m ado happy by the giving and receiving
of presents. A nice Christmas service
was rundered at the M. E. church on
Thursday evening, Willi a well-loadod
tree as an inspiring accompaniment. All
told, it was a day long to be remembered,
for the joy it brought to Jhu many.

largo majority of the old

and, middle-
In common with .other extravaganeos
of the tinio there is undoubtedly a grow
ing tendency in the direction of overdo
ing the Christmas gilt business, par
ticularly among parents. Each loving
parent naturally enough desires to see
his or hor boy or girl equally as woll sup
pliod with presents as sons and daughters
of others. Asa consequence they give
thorn s many gifts, while they are
young, thon when they are oldor grown
much dilliculty is experienced iu finding
anything that will satisfy them. Tlio
great majority of the boys anil girls of
to-day know comparatively nothing of
the pleasures and enjoyments of tho old
en timo Christmas, simply because they
have tieen vietuini oi Kvrniiucti or a
good thing." " "By the timo a boy of to,
day readies the advanced age of ten or
twelve years his expectations are so high
that, after having received a big lot of
gifts, he goncrally asks : "Is that all?"
Twenty-live years ago the boy who re
ceived a twentieth part of the gifts
would have been truly grateful, simply
because his appreciation had not been
beiiumed, paralyzed and deadened by
over indulgence. Then a comparatively
worthless trinket occasioned more real
pleasure than skates, sleds, drums and
all tho rest of the tilings do now. The
boy w ho had a pair of skates in those
days used them cautiously and carefully.
Ho kept them sharp and shining. He
skated only ou clean lee, and when he
took them oil ho driod them carefully,
put them away nnd knew tiiat he would
not get another pair in several seasons.
Tho boy of to day expects one or nioro
pairs every season, and they must be of
the best make. He skates on the side
walks, iu the road, over sand and stones
and is us unconcerned about their condi
tion as if they cost noting. When he is
through skating he will throw them
down in any place, and w hen ho wants
to go skating again if he cannot ijiid
them he knows he can get others In
those days a rag ba!y occasioned more
happiness ou the art of the child recip
ient than the most costly dolls of the
present. By tlie time a boy reaches his
teens ho has received about everything
imaginable, and is in tlio undesirable
condition where nothing satisties him.
It is a mistake for parents to givo so lav
ishly, even if they can well afford to do
so, because it lends to cultivate a lack oi
appreciation, of gratitude, and inculcate
ideas of extravagance. Wheu a boy of
tender years has been presented W illi a
gold watch, or a girl with diamonds,
pearls, rubies, emeralds, wtc, what is the
parent to do next T It is certainly better
for parents to givo iiiodeialelv. Could
the idea that "lis not the value of the
gilt " be more generally understood and
accepted, and were parents and relatives
of the children to always bear in mind
there are other holidays coming, It would
undoubtedly b" belter for all concerned,
' for the greatest joy of giving is iu a leal
i.atioii of u aciise of appiecialioii on the
part of the recipient.

NKW CANADIAN OIL FIELD.
A Former Forest County Boy Inter
ested In New Strike
A reporter of the Toronto, Canada,
IforW, gives an extended account of the
new oil Hold In the vicinity of Bothwell,
Canada, from which we cull the follow
ing relative to a strike In which Geo. W.
Whitman, son of Farmer Solden Whit
man of Tionesta township, is Interested:
Visiting the 'hotel on the following
(Wednesday) morning, I found the place
alive with oil men. They were excitedly
discussing a new strike that had been
made tho previous evening. This was
on the Shebo farm, three miles to the
south of tlietown. Some six weeks ago
two Americans frotn FJudlay, Ohio (the
colebrated natural gas country), came to
Roth well to prospect for oil. They en
gaged Mr. W. McKenzie of Petroli to
drill a well for them rtn tho Shebo farm,
which they had leasod along with various
other properties. On Tuesday, Doc. 2,
Mr. McKenzie got through with his job,
and when a pvmp was put in and set to
work It was found that the well was pro
ducing oil at the rato of 150 barrels per
day. As there was only a single tank
ready to receive the oil It was soon filled
and the engine was shut down at 7 p. m.
Tuesday. On the following atternoon
another test was made of the capacity
of the well. The larm is situated on the
south side of the river. I drove to the
well by way of tlio iron bridge. On my
arrival there I found a group of oil men
(there were probably thirty of them)
standing about the woll and taking a
lively interest in its output, The dis
charge from the pipe was about one half
iter and one-half oil. It was pumping
at the rate of 150 barrels of oil in the
twenty-four hours. The spectators wore
all well pleased with the test, but espec
ially delighted with the result were the
proprietors, Messrs. G. W. Whitman and
C. E. Brinton. They have been In the
il business many years, and a new
strike is no novelty to thorn. Neverthe
less, thoy expressed themselves as well
pleased with their first strike in Botb
woll. It cost them just 8700 to sink this
well, which is producing atxint t'JO'i
worth of oil per day. Just as soon as oil
was struck thoy were offered f 2000 for a
quarter interest in the single woll, hut as
they know a good thing in oil when they
see it they doclinod the offor, These two
Americans have 700 acres under lease In
the vicinity. They are preparing to sink
wells as fast as they can secure drilling
rigs to do the work. The testing of this
well was tho event of the day. Ita ca-ptfrHyr-vraa
not a surpriso altogether be
cause equally good wells had already
been disooverod,.but it was a good well,
and, being situated in a new section of
the field, it naturally excited a good deal
of interest.
Any person desiring first class
deotal work dene will do well tn hear
in mind that I will be in Tionesta
for theveek commencing ou the first
Moudoy of each month."
