It looks funny to see a full grown
and full feathered bird hanging around
one of its parents and lotting such parunt
provide all its food for it, but it is not a
bit funnier than to aoo a big chump of a

squaro meals a day, provided by the toil
of his old father, or a young woman who
lets her mother do the family washing
while sho plays a Strauss waltz on the
piano or works the head of a pug dog on
a doily. The time soon comes when the
old bird makes the young hunt for its
food or starve and tho same policy could
well be employed by many a father an J

oleven-inuing gaino with Plessantville,
on the hitter's grounds lust Saturday.
Tho game started with Tionesta at the
bat, and there was lively, close wont for
an inning or two when Tiones'a began
forging ahead. At tho ond of the 5th In
ning the score stood 8 to 5 in favor of Ti
nesta, in the soventh Ploasantville
scored two runs, and in the oighth by
the merest accident, brought in another,
tying tho seoro. Tho ninth and tenth in
nings resulted in gooso eggs for both
teams, but In the eleventh Pleasantville
got a man to first by allowing tho ball to
hit him, and by a lucky hit by one of the
other pla ors, the runner came home,
ending the game, 9 to 8. The Pleasant
villli'.us are greatly puffed up over win
ning tho second game on a "scratch,"
and publish a challenge in tho Titusville
Herald lo play any elub in oitner Ve
nango or Forest county for $100. If
Ploasantvillo has the "sand" to come
here aud play a return game they will
not feel so gay "after the ball is over."

Faguniliis Ox Paid for Twire
Two young men, strangers In the city,
worked a smooth gamoou William Brady
of tho Diamond street niest market a few
days ago. The men appeared with a line
ox, which thoy tied at tho rear of R. D.
Coopor's grocery store, across from the
Brady market, and shortly entered into
negotiations with Mr. Brady for the pur
chase of tho animal. The men stated
that the beef had been sold to a Titusville
butcher, who, however, did not have the
purchase price whon called upon. Upon
request Mr. Brady offered $10 for tho
beef, which was accepted and the men
drove the animal to the slaughter house
on the south side, returning later and re
ceiving the amount of the sale. They
lingered around tho market ior somo
time, the man who made the sale buying
a new suit of clothes and a pair of shoes.
Thoy were in no hurry to get away and
finally boardad a street car going west.
The sequal to tho story was enacted a few
days ago when D. II. Shoehan, of Fa
gundus, came to town to look for a miss
ing ox. At the Brady slaughterhouse
the horns of tho stolen boef wero identi
fied. Tho animal with many others was
kept iu a large commons and a cow from
the herd coming home with a rope dang
ling from its neck led to the discovery of
tho theft. The thieves attempted evi
dently lo steal the herd of eattlo but were
prevented by the cow breaking the rope.
Mr. Brady settled with Mr. Sbeelian by
paying anothor $10. The men will un
doubtedly be caught and brought to jus
tiee. Titusville Herald

Letter From Texn.
Laukm.k, Texas, Aug. 17.
Editor ltcjiublirtin:
Dear Sir: As a number of my Tiones
ta friends requested me to intorm them
concerning the oil business here and
thinKing a description of this part of tho
country might be of interest to many ol
your readers I will inform them through
tho columns of the Kkithucan.
Wo are in the Southern part of Toxas
and camping on a stream called Taylor's
bayou, 18 miles from Beaumont, 7 miles
from tho Gulf of Mexico, 9 miles from
Port Arthuis, IS inilos from Si beau Pass.
Tho main industries of this part of the
country are rico and eattlo raising. Our
well is located on a tiact of 10,000 acres
und thero are liioo acres of rice on this lot
alone, and yon can see the fields of waiv
ing rice iu any direction you choose to
look. The farmers havo commenced to
harvest the rico and thy expect an extra
largo yield, from H lo in barrels por
ncre, which sells for f'l and 1 per barrel.
The weather is pretty hot her. , but tho
bree.e from tho gulf makes it pretty
cool at night, or if the sun is clouded
over. We ar out on the plaias and
thero are no trees in sight. The worst
feature of this locality is tho scarcity of
good water. Wo have a 12-barrel tank
and havo to depend on rain water to
drink and for cooking poroses. The
water that fills tho ba.vou drains off the
higher ground aud is not fit to use.
Land can bo bought here at from $1 to
fid per acre. The worst pest we have to
contend with is tho mosquito. They aro
so plenty that we have to wear gloves
ami face veils to work in at night and
when wo sleep we have a screen over our
head to protect ourselves ss they are no
ryspectors of persons and never miss an
opportunity to present their bills. We
have beau hero over threo months and

driven pipo as far as we have Bono. We
have not struck any rock yet and I can't
tell as to tho prospect for oil. The com
pany have'survoyed aline from Cosacana

A VISION
m. Sept.
OF - -
It is not to bo supposed that the average boy is
overcome with delight at the near approach of school
opening. A neat suit of clothes will go far to reconcile
him to the inevitable. Possibly a pair of pants and a
few "fixings" are all that your boy needs just now. New
things for fall are in and every item in boys' wearables-
from odd pants to complete suits, aud from shirts to
hats are shown in qualities that are dependable and
styles that are right with prices, it is hardly necessary
to say, that guarantee a saving on every purchase, large
or
small.
