The barkpooliug season which has
been on for a week or two will not bo as
brisk as it has been during the past half
dozen years, mainly because the price of
liark has taken quite slump, the larger
tanning Institutions having a large stock
still loft over from "last year, Timber
owners will peel only such amounts as
comes from the stock thoy must have to
keep their mills running. Heretofore
large quautiiles of timber were cut be
cause the bark was in demand and com

Every boy aud girl should be disci'
pllued thoroughly in the matter of living
within one's means. The greatest harm
in business is rascality embezzlement,
gambling, cheutlng, stealing is caused by
living, or a desire to live beyond one's
Income. It la not enough to live as we
can afford to live but to be confant with
that. There are millions of people who
do live within their means, but who got
no Joy out of life, because they are always
sour and surly because they can not live
moreextravHgantly. Ex.
James Gilflllan, one of Marienvlllo's
wel known and highly respected citi
zona, died suddenly of heart failure
Wednesday night, Vilth inst., Bged CO
years. While working at Iron City, in
Howe township, about three years ago,
he fell aud sustained injuries from which
he never Hilly recovered, and which ulti
mately culminated in his death. He bad
retired in the eveuing feeling about as
well as usual, and his wife, who had re
tired only a short time arose about mid
night to see If he required anything, and
was horrified to find her husband dead.
The deceased was reared in Clarion
county, and made his home for many
years near Tylersburg.
Tho borough stroet committeo has
succeeded in putting the German Hill
road in the best condition it has ever yet
been, taking out all the big boulder ob
structions that have heretofore Interfeied
with tho free running of the road scraper,
and turnpiking tho thoroughfare In line
shape. Now if the olilcials of Tionesta
township would give some attention to
the river mad above Tubbs run, before it
becomes impassible, a condition which it
has well nigh attained by neglect, the
traveling public would no doubt rise up
and call them blessed. This particular
road was once the pride of our commun
ity, but if allowed to "run wild" much
longer it will bo the disgrace of the
neighborhood. Fix it up and keep it
fixed.
Did you ever count the words in a
column of ordinary newspaper print?
There are about two thousand words in a
column. Suppose you sit down and
write a thousand words upon some sub-
ect, and then another thousand on an
other until you have written eight or ten
thousand. Try it and see If it is right
easy. Keep that gait up for a month.
Then chase a local item all over town and
alter you havo gotten the facts all right,
condense them in a fow lines au hour's
work that can be read in a few seconds.
Do this for a dozen items that seem In
significant after they aio printed but
which you know are important; then
havo items criticised and Inaccuracies
pointed nut to you when it is too late to
correct them. Oh, J'cs, It is easy. Ex,
Is your nsme Kobsonf J. R. Rob-

At tho present time he has HO persons

One of tho most beautiful and lusting

Memorial Day.
Although tbe day was showery, a fact
which somewhat interfered with the com
plete enjoyment of the occasion, the pro
gram as adopted by the Post and Relief
Corps, was completely carried out in all
its details yesterday in Tionesta. Early
lu the morning a delegation from both ol
these orders drove to the Mt. Zion and
Zuendel cemeteries, Gorman Hill, and
with appropriate exercises decorated the
graves of fallen heroes buried there,
reaching home again before noon. At
1;30 o'clock, led by the Post, Relief Corps
and Sons of Veterans' Camp, the children
of tbe Sabbath schools marched to tho
riyor bridge whore the ceremony of
strewing flowers upon tbe waters in hon
or of those who fell In tbe navy was
beautifully carried out. From this point
the line of march was again takeu up,
ending at beautiful Riverside cemoiery,
where the usual ritualistic ceremonies
were hold and the grave of each comrade
was bedecked with flowers. The large
assemblage of people then repaired to the
court house, where, after the regular or
der of business was disposed of, tbe
speaker of tho day, Rev. Dr. Slonaker,
was introduced and delivered a very ablo,
eloquent and patriotic address, which
was greatly enjoyed by the large au
dience present. This ended the day s
beautiful services.
And thus was added to the list another
day of patiiotic devotion and love for the
veterans who bad braved all and offered
their lives, if need be, that their nation
might live. Rev. W. O. Calhoun, in his
sermon last Sabbalh morning at the
Persbyteriau church, referred beautifully
to this most enduring "monument," as
it were, that has been Instituted "as a
memorial" to the bravery aud self-sacrifice
of the hoys who went to Die front
when tho nation's existence was In great
est poril. Grauito shafts may crumble
aud moulder in the dust, but "this day"
shall be "as a memorial unto you" while
the nation stands.

The fastest trains ever seen on the

Herald, and no small interest was cen
tered on the initial trip of tbe two new
trains between Pittsburg and Buffalo.
No. 10. tbe "Duquesne Flyer," reached
this city at 4:05, exactly on time. No. 15,
the "Buffalo Special," was also able to
make Its schedule, arriving here at 5:13.
These trains reduce the time south
ward between Buffalo and Pittsburg by
one hour and twenty-five minutes aud
northward by one hour and forty min
utes. Thoy make the trip In exactly
seven hours, stopping only at tbe larger
stations. Both carried good business

combination baguage car and. smoker,
day coach and cafe car. The engines
have been built to order in the Altoona
shops and are the largest ever seen ou
this division. They have Beven-foot
drive wheels and trailers. They are cap
able of a very high speed, the Duquesne
Special running In from Hydetown yes

Duquesne Special. He is one of the old
est, most fearless and careful of tbe
Pennsy's engineers. The Buffalo Special
was iu charge of Enginoer James O'Neil
of Oil City. He is also one of tbo best
men employed by the company. It is
the old case of "Daddy's ou the engine;

How Humming HIrds Hatch Out.
William Lovell Fiuley, the new natur
alist-photographer, writes as follows in
The Country Calendar for Juno, the new
outdoor magazine published by the Re
view of Reviews Book Company:
"At first, the little capsules of eggs bad
a -vouderfully delicate flesh tint of pink.
Then, one morning, I stood over the nest
like Thomas of old. Somo one had re
placed the eggs with two tiny black bugs!
I', might have been a miracle. Thore was
a tiny knob on tho end of each little bug
that looked as if it might be tho begin
ning of a bill. Each little creature re
sembled a black bean mcfre thau a bird,
for each possessed a light streak of brown
down the middle of the back. They
couldn't be beans, for they wore pulsing
with lite in a lumpy sort of way. I went
frequently to look at them. In a fow
days the little nestlings began to fork out
all over with tiny black horns, until they
would havo looked like prickly pears
had they been the right color. At the
rext stage, each tiny hern began to blos
som nut into a spray of brown down, the
yellow at one end grew into a bill, the
black skiu cracked a trifle and showed
two eyes. It was hard to seo just bow
thoso black bugs could turn to birds, but
day after day the miracle worked till I
really saw two young humming-birds."

coat Dovoe at a saving cf 11 per cent, for
paint (lead and-oil was after the Job.)
That's how the talo reads. We infer
what really happened.
The buyer, as usual, went by tbo cost
of paint; got bids. Lead-and-oil bid low
and guossed the quantity low; the saving
was only 11 per cent.
Nobody sooms to have thought of this:
the palntiug cost two or throo times as
much as the paint. How much did we
save ou the painting? Don't know.
Tbe tale onds with this: We often ro-
for Inquirers to those houses, for wear of
Devoe.
That's a good-enough story; but no
body knows what It is. Our only diffi
culty Is want of paint-iiitelligeiico;

Why Niiller fruin Ulii'itiiiiilisiii t
Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? Tbe quick
relief which this liniment affords makes
rest and sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times its cost. Many who
have used it hoping only for a short re
lief from suffering havo been happily
surprised to find that after awhile the re
lief became permanent. Mrs. V. II. Leg
gottof Yum Yum, Tennesseo, U. 8. A.,
wrltos. "I am a great sufferor from
rheumatism, all over from head to foot,
and Chamberlain's Pain Balm Is tbe only
tiling that will relieve the pain." For
sale by Dunn it Fulton.

aro as heavy bodied, because Devoe's
weigh 3 to 8 ounces more to tho pint.
