Y., passed through town yesterday morning being out on a few weeks' vacation which be will spend among friends In this sec tion, James bad with him a clever device for milking cows, known as the Mebrlng machine, which be says gets tbe noarest to perfection in that respect than any thing yet produced, Tbe machine is constructed to milk two cows at once, does the work of about four men and can be operated by a fifteen-year-old boy or girl as readily aa by a grown person, Mr. Manross is quite enthusiastic in his praise of the machine's elhcacy, and it does look like a complete success. There is a DuBois man who is just too mean for anything. For some un accountable reason be bas been laboring under tbe impression that be is "ben pecked," and In order to get a little better usage at tbe hands of his better half be developed a beautiful plan that worked all right. The fellow hired bIx or eight boys to stand along tho walk where he waygoing to take his wife for a walk the other night, and when be went past, the boys all tipped their hats and said: "Good evening, Mr. U en peck." It cost him 10 cents a piece for the boys, but be Bays it worked like a charm and tbe equal rights question is not being dis cussed in bis home any more. Perhaps bis wife felt sorry for him. DuBois Courier. Nothing could be said in greater praise of people than that they 'like sweets, says a writer in "What to Eat." It shows a wholesome, vigorous, health ful condition an appetite not jaded from excessive indulgence. The child whose appetite has not become polluted or cal loused by false relishes, smarting sauces aud burning drinks loves sweets; so does the girl of bright eyes and untainted youth, as Is evidenced by her fondness lor Ice creams aud desserts. The young athlete among men loves sweets nearly as well as does tbe child. But the bar room lounger, the "cigarette fiend," tbe "dope fiend" and the depraved of all other classes do not like sweets. Long ago their minds and appetites lost the desire for everything pleasing to tbe nat ural palate. For goodness sake don't cut any weeds that fringe the sidewalks of bo me of our streets, as they are about "to go to seed" dow and there might not be auy crop next year. It beats all what an adornment a growth of weeds Is anyway, where they border tbe sidewalks, and what a striking example they are as an indication of publie improvement. This from the Sheffield Observer, applies to more towns -than one, our own amongst tho rest. It is such a small task to run the lawn mower over these little grass plots once a weok, or to mow the weeds down with a common sickle that it would eem scarcoly necessary to call attention to the matter. Ordinary pride ought to appeal to lot owners or residents. And wbat a fine improvement there would be in tbe appearance of the town! On Tuesday night select council re fcilied to confirm the appointment of Pa trolman R. O. Whitton. Mr. Whitton is a mau of admirable charactar and correct habits and has tbe judgment and pby Blque necessary to make him a valued addition to the local police force. Some time ago while working for the city as poli.'eiuau, lie received a Mattering offer to take a job of lumbering in West Vir ginia and accepted, resigning his position here. He found that the climate and conditions of West Virginia wore not as attractive as those of Oil City and re turned here and was given his old posi tion, subject to tbe aotion of councils. Two weeks ago the matter of confirming him was laid over until the Tuesday meeting, and then he was turned down. But it is bard to keep a good mau down, and on Wednesday he was given a posi tion by tho P. R. K. as policeman for its pay car. On Thursday a representative of the Erie railroad was in town with au thority to otter him a permanent position as an Erie railroad policeman. Those wbo knew Mr. Whitton well, and the standing be has In bis community of Hickory before coming to Oil City, feel that some misrepresentations have been made to prevent his appointment on tbe local police foroe. The spirit of fair playi as expressed by the many fiiends of the deposed patrolman, urges them to voice the sentiment that a good man should not be discriminated against for carrying out the orders of his superior officer.

Warden, at Endeavor, Pa., was the scene of a very pretty social event on Saturday afternoon last, when guests numbering upward of one hundred responded to in vitations to assist this excellent couple in tbe celebration of their twenty-fifth wed ding anniversary. Providence smiled graciously upon the happy occasion, providing a perfect day for tbe fulfillment of tbe most joyful anticipations of tbe hosts and their guests, Tbe hourB named for the reception and entertainment of friends were from 1 uutil7 p.'tn. and the arrival and departure of guests continued tbrought the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Warden were kept constantly busy in tbe beautiful reception parlor extending the band of hospitality to the friends who came to wish them very many bappy re turns of the day. Those who were not obliged to leave early to catch trains for home remained to enjoy the mingling with friends and the inviting Bhade of tbe well-kept lawn where easy chairs were distributed lor their comfort and where many pleasant acquaintanceships were made and renewed. The guests were served with elegant refreshments in the spacious dining room, wbich was tastefully decorated with flowers and festooned with ribbons and silvery cords, As an evidence of the high esteom In which Mr. and Mrs. Warden are held, we may be pardoned for referring to the wealth of magnificent presents that adorned a large table iu an upper room Among the number, aud wbich the re cipients will doubtless prize tbe most highly, were two silver loving cups, one the gift of the men employed at the mills of the Wbeeler A Dusenbury company witb whom Mr. Warden has so long been associated, tbe other by tbe three Warden boys, George, Gus and Alton.

Former .Tionesta -Roy's Thrilling Ex perience. A Chicago paper of last Thursday givos the following account of the thrilling ex perience of two lads of that city and their almost miraculous escape from death on Lake Michigan. Tbe Charles Bonner mentioned is the 17-year-old son of our former well known citizen, Charles Bonner: After drifting about tbe lake all yeeter day in a disabled launch without food or drink, Charles Bonner, 5752 Rosalie court, and Irving Strader, 4G2 Bowen avenue, were rescued by tbe steamer Theodore Roosevelt. Tbe two men were exhausted when taken on board tbe steamer, but alter restoratives had been administered by Dr. H. N. Bundesen, tbe boat's phy sician, they were able to tell their story. They started at 5 o'clock Tuesday morn ing from Chicago for Michigan City, where they arrived safely. The follow ing morning they Btarted on the return trip and when about ten miles out tbe electric battery ot the launch became ex hausted. All day long tbey drifted, from time to time sigtting steamers and yachts, but unable to attract their atten tion. A driving rain and a rising sea added to their peril and discomfort. They had abandoned themselves to despair when tbey were picked up by the Roose velt. Tbe launch was taken In tow, but shortly afterward tbe steamer ran Into a heavy rain and wind storm which snapped the tow rope and the launch is still toss ing about iu tbe lake waves. The boat was known aa the Bertha. - It formerly belonged to the South Haven life-saving station. School Directors' Convention.
