It is probablo you will be asked to
join a sleighing party, and when that in
vitation comes don't forget the pillowing
rules. The landlord of the hotel you
Etop at will appreciate them . As soon as
you have arrived at the hotel which you
have picked nut as a terminus yell like a
Comanche Indian. That lets ihe land
lord know that you have arrived . Then
rush in anil take possession. A hotel Is a
public place and you must assert your
r ghts. Yell when you feel like it and
talk loud and boisterous. Each member
of the party should have a sack of pea
nuts iu order to throw the shells on the
carpet. That will Intimidate the land
lady. Then If you want t-uppor go to a
restaurant for It. You can possibly get
your hunger appea-ed there for less
mouoy. If the landlord should get hot
under the collar and say anything you
don't like, wal' until you get into the
sleigh, ready to start for 'home and then
say everything mean you can think of.
It adds dignity and gentility to the occa
sion and makes the party a grand suc
cor, s.
The following recipe is said tq be an
effect i ve cure for chilblains so trouble
some at this season of the year: Before
retiring for the night soak the feet in as
hot walr as you can stand for half an
hour, rub dry and apply crude oil, a pair
of stockings will keep the bed from beiiig
soiled and the third application will cure
the most severe case.
Some men hate editors for what the
paper has happened to say about them.
But they ought to feel very grateful to
them and love them on account of what
was not said about them, but might have
been said truthfully. Before getting
mad at a newspaper, slop to think how
little it real I v did ssy compared with
what it might have said without fear ol a
libel suit. Some folks who abie tne ed
itor owe their standing in society lo the
fact that ho didn't punlish all be knew
about them. Others are on the outside of
the jail for the same reason.

Since our last issue, the golden key ol
death unlocked tho portals of eternity to
let another of our citizens enter. And the
same breeze lhal bore on its wingsjoyous
notes of the Festal season, touched the si
lent emblem of death as it hung from an
other door, causing its flutter to call to
the mind of the passer by that "our life is
but a span," and the pre-ent hour is all
we call our own. 'the einnlem spoke
more forcibly than words of the certainty
ol death, for within the home the hearts of
loved ones were almost breaking because
one ol their little baud had gone from
them. Not one who had reached the
eventide of life, but the youngest, who
had but little more than attained his ma
jority, naditbeen ours to say, when
the death angel visited our midst but a
week before, w ho would be taken next,
little would we have guessed one of Ti
onesta's young meu, who, to us, seemed
but a boj of larger growth than some
Beunie Hunter.
Bunjamen Davenport Hunter was a
son of William Laudrum and Julia Noble
Hunter and was born at Fagundus, Oct.
8, 1882, and died at Tionesla, December
27, l!Hi:!. When but live years of age, he
came with his pareuls to Tionesta where
he was educated in the public schools,
and resided till the tune of his death. Bo
lug of a retiring disposition, his life was
uneventful and spent quietly among us,
be never having been a week away from
his parents. He was a kind-hearted, ge
nial companion and a general lavorite
among the boys cf town, none of whom
have au unkind word to say ot Bennte,
and all of whom made some contribution
to the exquisite floral offerings given by
them. These and other offerings and
many kindnesses, attested the love and
friendship for the dead, and love and
sympathy for the living, all of which are
fully appreciated by the family. Al
though the sorrow is truly great, yet In
these days of untold accidents, the par
ents have been specially favored in bay
ing their youngest born pass from them,
peacefully, In the quiet of tbelr Sabbath
home, while commending his spirit to
Hun who is Lord of the living and the
dead.
Besides his parents, Bonnie leaves one
brother, William D., of Warren, Pa., and
two sisters Mrs. Rosa Hunter Smith, a

'"Sixteen years ago when our first child

about bim. , We began using Chamber

it such a reliable remedy for colds and
croup, we have never been without it iu
the bouse since that. , We have five chil
dren and have given it to all ol them
with good results. One good feature of
this remedy is tlmt It Is not disagreeable
to take and our babies really liko it. An
other is that it is not dangerous, and
there is no risk from giving an overdose.
I congratulate you upon the success of

. MnMi'ti ,Siiiiiiumi. of a (iood Man.
Friends In this secliou wero startled to
learn last week of the death of Alexan
der Mealy, of Seattle, Washington, which
occurred on the 21st of December, 1903,
death being very sudden and unexpect) d.
Mr. Mealy had gone with a party of Pitts
burg gentlemen to look over an extensive
tract of timber which the latter had con
templated purchasing. It was some dis
tance from his homo, and the party were
putting up at a farm l ouse, having been
in the woods a part of three days. In the
morning of the day on which the sum
mons came, Mr. Mealy awoke with a pain
in his arms, causing him consideiable
annoyance, hut which rapidly passed olf
and he arose with the others and ate a
light break I'a l, but was dissuaded from
going "lit that day. Not long alter, he
became sick and vomited, but was again
revived, and while seated, conversing
Dleasantlv with one of the tiartv. was
seized witfi severe pains in his chest,
which also passed oil quickly and it was
supposed he would have uo further
trouble.' Suddenly a change came over
him and lie apparently fell asleep. This
was the end, aud be passed away without
a struggle or pain. Ills body was con
veyed. to his home and. the. funeral . was
held ou the 2!)lb ult.
Mr.' Mealy had been a resident of For
est county until about twenty years ago,
when he removed to Ohio where he. con
ducted a tine farm for about five years.
For some yeurs prior to bis removal from
here he bad successfully conducted the
stocking ofthe large lumbering plant of
Lacy it Co., at Golii.za, and It was his
thorough knowledge of the lumbering
business, and bis ability to correctly es
timate large bodies of timber . that xlrew
him to Washington terr tory, where be
first went with the Messrs. Lacy to look
at some extensive tracts which they were
negotiating for. Being impressed with the
superior advantages of the timber busi
ness in that country, he concluded to lo
cate there. While bis first venture did
not prove as successful as he had antici
pated, (hero coming just at that time a big
slump in lumbering operations, bis in
domitable will and peri-everance won at
last, and bis success was assured. Mr.
Mealy bud negotiated somen!' the largest
timber deals in the history of tne great
State ot Washington, and bis profits and
revenues came rapidly.
Mr. Mealy was aged about 03 years, and
besides his widow, who was Miss Mary
Marks, is survived by one son and six
daughters, as follows: Mrs. Dora Miller,
of Chebalis, Wash.; Mrs, J. A. Shrlver,
of Tionesta Twp., Forest county, Pa.;
Mrs. Laura Miller, Tacoma, Wash.; Mrs.
Nellie Fassl lender, of Alaska; Misses
My rile and Electa, ami Elmer at home.
In the death of Alexander Mealy the
Community in which be lived has lost a
splendid citizens, and his family is be
reft of a devoted husband aud a kind in
dulgent father, and they have the sympa
