yards of residents of that street, ono of

A man will run as fast as he can to
cross a railroad in front of a train. Then
he will watch it until it gets out of sight.
Then he will walk leisurely away. He

will open a satchel and take out a purse,
close tho satchel and open the purse, take
out a dime and close the purso, open the
satchel and put In tho purse, close the
satchel and leek botli ends. Then she will
pay tho conductor, who will' give her a
nicklo back. Then she will open the
satchel and take out tho purse, close the
satchel and open the purse, put the uickle
in and close the puite, opeu the satchel
and put in the purse, close tho satchel
and lock both ends. Then she will feel

Another I'leasunt Shouting: Event.
Another of those enjoyable events at the

the guests of tho local club, Fromptly
after dinner tho representatives of the
thrco clubs "unlimhered their guns" and
wero ranged up for tho friendly bout,
seven men to the team, and fifty birds to
the man. Kach club, of course, put
forth its best team, and tho result
shows that thoro has been considerable
improvement in the shooting since the
last meeting at Marienville. Several of
the scores made were ot such a character
as to entitle the maker to classification
among the semi-professionals, and re
flected credit upon tlie performance of
the Individual shooters, The day was a
perfect one for shooting, being neither too
hot nor too cool, and the event was graced
by the attendance of quite a number of
Interested spectators, who seemed to enjoy
tlio sport fully as well as tho participants
themscves. The match was linishod in
ample time to allow the Sheffield boys to
return on tlio aiiernoon train and reach
their homes at supper time, while most
of the Marienville gents stayed over to

Thursday morning, Oct. 1, 1003. The
mother and son are getting along nicely,

M. E. Graybill, of Marienville, is
back in tlie hospital at Kane for a season,
on account of the serious injury to his
lelt hand, sustained somo weeks ngo in
his huh factory at Kellettvillo,' whereby
ho lost one linger of the left hand, blood
poison sotting in. Tlie injury is still
quite troublesome, and Mr. Graybill has
returned to the hospital so as to receive
daily treatment and be kept quiet, as the
nature of his trouble requires,
John W. MeCroa, for the past four
years in tho employ of the P. H. R. as
agent at this place, has teuderod his res
ignation as such, and has been succeeded
by J. C. McNamara, of Rod House, N. Y.
Tlie patrons will miss Mr. McCrea at tlio
station very much, where, during his in
cumbency of the olllco lie lias won the
higli esteem of our people by bis pleasing
and ever courteous Dimmer in dealing
with them, and there is general regret
that ho is quitting the position. Archie
Clark, the popular baggago and freight
handler, has also quit and will be em
ployed in the Lansnn grist mill.

able importance. Tho plaintiff' in open

ment, so as to mako tho defendant tlie

ed to show by witness settlement ol Loo
Conl'er in tlio Forest County Poor Dis
trict to establish liability cf the defend
ant. This was objected to by coui sid lor
the defendant lor the leason that no order
of relief had over been taken out as is re
quired by act of assembly, a:id that the
plaint ill could not show settlement of a
pauper iu tho Court ol Common Pious,
and that settlement could only bo shown
in the Court of Quarter Sessions on ap
peal from an order of relief. A Her argu
ment on the point the c urt sustained de
