The entertainment given by the pu
pils of the so miner school at the court
house last Thursday evening was a decid
ed success in all respects, and the attend
ance was so large that standing room was
at a premium and scores were turned
away because they could not even get
that. The recitations, readings, vocal
and Instrumental muslo, and drills were
all pleasingly rendered, showing much
care and training In the preparation of
the extensive program. The small ad
mission fee of ten cents proved to be
ample for the meeting of all expenses
connected with the pleasing affair.
The Erie Herald of Monday has this
to say of catcher John Lawrence: "The
release of Catcher Lawrence will not be
endorsed by everybody, for there are a
great many of the local enthusiasts who
were firm in their belief that this little
boy was at least as good as Pailey, if, in
deed be did not have something on the
young man from Pittsburg. His place is
taken by Hopkins, who was picked up
on last week's trip," Lawrence's bat
ting average was 231, fielding average 037.
Only two men In the team bad a better
batting average. The averages of Dailey,
the other catcher, were, batting 222 and
fielding 009.
The frog season is now officially on,
and if the lusty croaker will take the red
tlsnnol you are at liberty to add him to
your game sack. The high and roily
condition of the river bas been rather
discouraging to the propagation of this
"game" species. The frog thrives best
in sluggish, stagnant pools, aud that's
why some ultra fastidious people are
prejudiced agalust him as a toothsome
delicacy, but he's all right once you have
him in the spider, rolled in cracker dust
and broiled to a finish in hot lard, aud
you are not apt to shy at his carcass if
garnished and served by the average
culinary artist. Try him.
Elizabeth, the four-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McKee, of Tlo
nesta township, was kicked In the face
by a horse which was pasturing in the
yard, last Sunday morning, and very
seriously injured. Dr. Dunn, who was
summoned, found a bad cut about an
inch and a half long on the child's fore
head, the process of tbe jaw bone crushed
on tbe right side, and a number of teeth
broken off. Just bow the accident oc
curred is not known as no one witnessed
it. It is evident, however, that she did
not receive the full force ot the blow, as
she was not uncouBclous at any time.
The parents were in town Tuesday with
the child and the physician thinks she
will recover should no complications
arise.
Tbe Kellettvllle mail team, while
standing untied at the Bridge street cor
ner last Friday noon, were scared by an
automobile which suddenly rounded the
corner, and indulged in a lively runaway.
Tbey went down Elm street and up the
Tlonesta creek road, but were caught
near tbe Campbell it Henry mill, where
tbey collided with a tree and broke loose
from the rig. Some of tbe mail was scat
tered along the road. The damage to the
rig was confined to a broken pole and
harness. The same auto frightened a
horse driven by Samuel KcK(,e, while
coming down the hill across the river.
The animal backed the buggy over the
bank, breaking a wheel. Tbe party
brought the old gentleman to towu and
paid for a new wheel for bis buggy.
The visit of Hon. C. A. Randall to
Harrisburg last week to consult with
State Highway Commissioner Joseph W.
Hunter in relation to Tlonesta borough's
application for Btute aid under tbe "good
roads" law was fruitful of good results,
Mr. Randall being successful in his ef
forts to convince tbe department that
the improvement should begin this sea
son. The borough's application was filed
two years ago, but on account of lack of
lunds bad not been acted upon except to
plaoe it on file In its regular order. Mr.
Hunter assured Mr. Randall that the
matter would now be taken up and he
felt sure that at least a good start on the
work could be made during tbe summer
and fall montbs. So much for sending
an efficient man and not "a boy to mill."

be no objection to this if tbe effect shall
not be to drive these nusiances Into tbe

a late hour the audience resolved itself
into a dancing party, the younger folk

Dress Well
at
Good taste in dress does not carry with it the out
lay of a lot of money for clothes. You have seen men
who always look spick and span on the street, at home
and on social occasions, and the cost of their clothes has
little to do with the trick.
A 1)0 made-to-order suit on you may not look as
good as a "20 ready-to-wear, hand-tailored Laininers
Suit on your neighbor. That's because your neighbor
knows what to wear and how to wear it.
Prices for our good kind of clothes arc not extrava
gant, quality considered, and that is the test of wear.
