An exchange prints tho following.
Parents and guardians are largely respon.
siblo for the conduct of their small chil
dren. Roys and girls frequently commit
depredations on the property of others
becaus3 they have nover been taug'it the
duties which thoy owe to tbe community
and Its pooplo. Much Juvenile mischief
is the result of downright exuberance.
If the abounding life of tho child were
turned in the right direction by patient,
thoughtful and wise parental oversight,
many lads who now seem doomod to a
criminal lift would beoomo useful and
law-abiding citizens.

One of I ha most Important tasks that
confronts tbe man of tho house at the

raking ol the leaves, which seem to bo
plentiful enough to cover everything
several times. Yards that are raked nice
and clean one day are covered with leaves
the next. It is just too miserable for
most men to contemplate and makes one
doubt whether life Is worth living or not.
Iu the fall we have to rake the leaves) lu
the winter we have to shovel the snow ;
lu tbe spring we have to spade thegarden

tell us his troubhs, do some knocking,
tell what a great man ho Is, or what a
smart baby be has at home. Hurrah for

R0USIXO REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.
Hun. Jos. C. Sibley and Parly Royally
Received In Tionesta Fine
Meeting at Court House.
The Republican rally at tbe court bouse
Monday evening wasone of the finest In
all respects that has beou held bore In
many years. Mr. Sibley and his party
arrived on the afternoon train and were
met at the depot by the band and a large
delegation of enthusiastic friends, who
ascorted the party to the Hotel Weaver,
where many met the distinguished
Congiessman and gave bim a warm
greeting. Headed by the band quite a
formidable torchlight procession marched
to the court, where the meeting was be
gun promptly at eight o'clock. Tbe large
court room was filled when the speakers
Hot there. Chaii man Osgood called the
meeting to ordor and introduced Judge
Samuel D. Irwin as tbe president of the
evening. The Judge introduced the first
speaker of the evening in oue of his
characteristic speeches which was fre
quently punctured with applause. When
Mr. Sibley arose to take his place upon
the rostrum be was greeted with the most
enthusiastic applause, tbe demonstration
lasting several minutes. He was suffer
ing from a severe cold, as well as from
tbe groat strain upon bis constitution on
account of tlio work be has gone tbiougb
during the past three weeks, having
spoken two and three times dally ex
cepting Sundays, of course throughout
Warren, Venango and Mercer counties,
Notwithstanding this be was encourged
by the enthusiasm of his large audience
to extend his speech to nearly an hour's
length. He assured his hearers that it
gave him the greatest pleasure to meet
again and talk with them face to lace, but
expressed regret that bis throat was in
such condition as to preclude the idea r.l
making an extended speech much as lie
desired to (ake them into bis confidence
aud tell them many things about the past
and present which had come under his
observation while serving them in Con
gress After relating a number of pleas
ing anecdotes to Illustrate what be was
about to say, he look up the discussion ol
the Issues which are before tho American
people in this campaign, pointing out
clearly Ihe fact that the Democrats wore
without a single issue worthy the name.
The leaders of that party seemed content
with finding fault with the men and
measures of tbe Republican party. Theie
he took up seriatim, and showed In a
very convincing way that these fault
finders bad nut a leg to stand upon, that
tbe Republican administration under tbe
poerless Roosevelt bad met and solved
every great national problem with satis
faction to an overwhelming majority
of the people of the United States.
He tailed particular the attention ol
the Democrats to the assertions made by
the New York Herald and tbe Washing
ton Post, former supporters of Judge
Parker, who bad declared that Roosevelt
would be the next president and sug
gested, as the Democrats were sure of
losing their presidential candidate, that
they get into line with the Republicans
and elect the entiie Republican county
ticket "unanimously."
Mr. Sibley, in closing, appetled to
young men who were about to cast their
first votes to Join the party of progress
and prosperity; with the party which does
something. He promised those present
if returned to Congress be would do as
good as be bad done in the past, repre
senting bis constituents to the best of his
ability.
Tbe second speaker was Colonel J. M.
Evans, of Sharon, Pa., who come to fill
the place of Gen. Wiley whose urgent
business made it impossible for bim to
be with Mr. Sibley in this tour. Aud
well did the talented Colonel fill that
place. Ho is oue of tbe ablest speakers
in this section, and soon bad the audience
stirred with enthusiasm as he graphically
compared the situation aud condition of
the country as It now is with what it
was during the peried of tho Cleve
land panic. He also depicted tbe vast
difference in the condition of the work-
ingman of this country aud that of free
trade England. Iu closing, Colonel Evaes
paid this merited tribute to Mr. Sibley:
"I lake pride is saying that I belong to
the district represented by Joseph C. Sib
ley. There is no more conscientious man
within the walls of Congress, no man that
works harder, no man more faithful to
bis duty, no man more in sympathy with
the administration, no man more consci
entious in his love for tbe institutions of
America and for the tariff that protects
the laboring people of this country than
Joseph C. Sibley. I have beard bim at
Washington defending the rights of
American workmen j I have seen bim
going into committee rooms; I have seen
bim leaving bis seat to go out to meet a
poor work ingman from this district. Ho
is not only the Congressman from this
district, but he is a natioual character,
and uo member is better respected, or has
more weight In the halls of Congress,
than he."
The people were all attention through
out the evening. In tbe audience were
many ladies who seemed to take a most
decided Interest In the speeches, joining
In the applause which so frequently was
given. It was a grand meeting and
heartily enjoyed by all.
The meeting at Kelleltville last eve
ning was a complete success. Although
disappointed at Mr. Sibley's inability to
gel there, the people were not dosirons
that he jeopardise his health, when threat
ened with severe illness, and at any rale
Colonel Evans gave them an excellent
speech and sont them home iu fine hu
mor. Mr. Sibley's throat was badly affected
aud he was suffering with nucIi a severe
cold that be was obliged to roltirn to bis
home yesterday morning.

experiment, but at present it has entered
the stage where its permanency is as
sured, at least as long as chestnut timber
lasts.
There is now in the yards a stock of
from 0,000 to 8,000 cords of chestnut wood,
four to six feet iu length. Tureetbousand
cords are cut and piled, ready for ship
ment here from the woods around Tio
nesta. There are perhaps 2,500 cords
along the line of the D. A. V. A P. R. R.
between Titusville aud Grand Valley,
Willi 2,000 cortls piled in tho woods of
Troy township. This is not limber which
is valuable for any oilier purpose, unless
possibly lor fence posts. Limbs, slabs,
knots or any other portion of the tree, cut
small enough to enter tlio hopper, aro
available. Tbe l.opper is fitted with
grinding knives. A piece of wood eight
inches In diameter and six feet lu length
is ground int pieces as largo as matches
lu three or four seconds.
These small pieces are carried by an
elovator into another hopper, where they
are ground still liner with a small quant -
ty of hemlock bark. Tlio pulverized
wood and bark aro then conveyed by
elevators to vats, w here the liquor is ex
tracted. It makes vciy nice leather,
equally as good as hemlock bark alone.
The scarcity of bark iu this immediate
vL'iuity lias made the experiment neces
sary iu order to keep the tannery In Ti
tusville. That it has proved successful
needs no further proof than that large
quantities of the wood are being pur
chased ami stored. In the yards at pres
ent is a stock snlllcientlv large to last the
tannery until some time next summer.
It is now proposed, at a coct ot about
$10,000, to install an evaporator in con
nection with the chestnut wood process.
This will be used to take the water from
the tanning liquor, producing a heavier
anil more powerful liquid. When this
is done It w ill no longer lie necessary lo
use ImrK III connection with tlio wood.
Owing lo tho wide tire legislation, it is
stated that the greater part or the stock
this year will lie shipped here. Tho wood
cut and piled in Troy town-hipnud in t lie
vicinity ol llyilitown will no tiruwu
