Those who had their faces turned to
ward the southwestern sky at about 0:30
o'clock Saturday night witnessed a most
wonderful sight In the descent of a large
meteor that lit up the whole heavens. It
lasted but a second, but afforded a most
beautiful sight, being about the size and
somewhat the shape of a 20-gallon cask or
halt barrel, with a tail several feet In
length which threw off many colored
lights after the manner of a sky-rocket.
The great meteor seemed to fall to earth
within a mile or ;o from the beholders,
and we note by tbe Pittsburg papers that
Allegheny residents have been bunting
for the molten iron of which meteors are
ssld to consist. Of course Pittsburg or
Allegheny ought to have this latest phe
nomenon to place beside the big sun-spots
recently discovered in those cities,

Letter to N. (i. Cole,
Ncbrtiaka, Pa.
Deak Sir: What will it cost to sow
ten acres half wheat and half daisy
mixed? and what'll the crop he worth?
We don't know what daisy-seed costs,
nor how bulky it is; we suspect half
wheat and half daisy would make a big
crop of daisies, and last a long lime; the
wheat might be short.
Tbe parable throws some light on the
costofapaint half whitewash. White
wash, mixed half-and-half witb paint, is
all-paint In look and feel; Indeed nine-
tenths of the "paint" in the stores Is part
whitewash: some half, some more, some
less.
Paint has to be spread with the brush,
the surface prepared, the ladders scaf
folds pulleys and ropes arranged and
moved, there's a great doal of labor iu
putting paint on; It costs 'i to ft a gallon
to do it.
What does It cost to paint whitewash?
Just the same, Half whitewash? Just
the same. It doesu't seem worth Tulle,
for the whitewash does harm, not good.
Will tbe paint hold the whitewash fast?
or the whitewash loosen the paint?
Better paint pure paint, the least-
gallons paint, the least-money paint,

They have somequeerly acting ground
hogs in the neighborhood of Endeavor,
according to the reports that come of the
performance ol one recently. Homer
Ball, formerly of Oil City, ruus a hack
line between Hickory and Endeavor, he
whs making a regular trip and his 7-year-old
son was with him when they saw a
groundhog going down the brick pave
ment of Eudeavor. Homer stopped bis
team to give his boy a chance to chase
Hie little weather prophet. The wood
chuck loll the walk when be saw the boy
coming and retreated to a field that the
walk skirted. When the bey followed
him there the animal probably decided
that be was being imposed upon. That
be had given up the nice warm sidewalk
because it probably belouged to mankind
who had built it, but when this diminu
tive specimen of the human race began to
get gay witb him in an open Held, for
bearance ceased to be a virtue, even In a
groundhog. No matter what was the
lino ol reasoning, the "cliuck" promptly
charged tbo boy, who just as promptly re
treated. He was yelling for help at every
iurnp. but the animal was not deterred
and just as tbe lad was climbing from tbo
sidewalk to the hack the groundhog
grabbed the heel of his shoe and hung ou
until the lad kicked film loose. Tbe boy
out of his reach, the groundhog attacked
one of the horses giving it a bite iu the
heel so vicious that its teoth met In the
wound and it had to be clubbed to death
before the horse could be released from
its jaws.
While, when cornered, these rodents
have the reputation of being tlorce fight
ers of both men and dogs, thiB 1b believed
to have been tbe first authentic case of
local record where they have pursued
anyone who Bought their capture or have
attacked domestic animals, Tbe favorite
habitat of the groundhog is preferably a
clover field or pasture, where they live in
perfect harmony with sheep, horses or
kine. Old time groundhog hunters to
whom this particular and peculiar case
has been referred advance the startling
theory that it bad gone crazy from tbe
heat or was affected with rabies and have
advised Mr. Ball to watch his injured
horse closely for symptoms.
The groundhog story is being ably and
lengthily discussed by Hickory and En
deavor naturalists and divides public at
tention with the performance of two local
hunters who within a week located and
captured two young wildcats ami were
bringing thorn home to be kept in captiv
ity when they became alarmed by the
sounds of rage made by the mother cat,
who started in pursuit, and dropped her
progeny. The wildcat acted as most any
mother would when her roughly treated
babies began to wail an angry protest and
when thrown to the ground by the hunt
ers she forgot her rage and paid all her
atteulion to soothing her youngsters and
taking advantage of her preoccupation
the kidnapers escaped. Oil City Derrick.
