Exchanges state that farmers in some nearby counties are being victimized by a stranger representing himself as an agent ol a large feed company and offer ing feed at unusually low prices.

Last Tuesday the children of Porter Haskell gave that gentleman a very pleasant surprise. It was tbe occasion of bis 87th ptrthday and tbey all gathered once more around the parental fireside to pay homage to their aged parent. Mr. Haskell has been a resident of our town for about 25 years. His business life was spent lu the lumbering business but he has been retired for a number of years. It was a happy and pleasant home gather ing, Clarion Republican. An experienced teacher says that pupils who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who do not, are better readers, better spellers, better KrammariaiiB, better punctuators, and read more understanding, aud obtain a practical knowledge of geogra phy in almost half the time it requires others. The newspaper is decidedly an important factor in modern life. This will not be disputed by any one who In vestigates the matter for himself. Now is the time to subscribe. -Here Is a farmer's mode of r'dding his premises of rats and mice: If you sprinkle sulphur on your barn floor and through your coru as you gather It, there will not be a rat or mouse to bother. I have done this for years and have never been bothered with rats or mice. I have some old corn in my crib at present and not a rt or mouse can be found. In Btacking bay or oats, sprinkle on the ground and a little through each load and my word for it, rats or mice can't stay there. A pound of sulphur will be suffi cient to pieserve a large barn of corn, and is good for stock and will not hurt the corn or bread. Farmers near Greenville, Mercer county, have introduced a unique device to help out the rural mail carrier who has trouble during the winter. At a point where two roads intersect an iron stake has been driven into the ground. A wagon wheel is pivoted on top and to tbe rim of tbe wheel neat boxes liave been fastened. Tbe carrier drives up to the stake, deposits mail in the boxos as he turns the wheel and saves himself tbe neoessity of tarversing stretches of wretched roadway. This plan could doubtless be copied In other places, thus helping the carriers over many difficul ties during snow drifts and bad roads. Meadville business men are con vinced that they are paying too much for fire insurance, and unless they can get lower rates will probably do something In the way of carrying their own risks along mutual lines. This Is a subject which interests every community more or less, and should be looked iuto by every wide-awake town. If the insur ance companies can put up great sky scrapers, pay enormous salaries and pile up millions on the profits they reap from premiums each year, what Is there to binder a combination of business men in any ordinary community from saving big money by insuring themselves at bare cost, having none of the expensive accessories to keep npT Tbe matter is worth looking into. Jacob Wagner, of Tionesta towoBhlp, finished a well a short time ago on the farm of his neighbor, George Alllo. No oil was found, and tbe drill was stopped at 635 feet, where a fairly good vein of gas was tapped that will supply a half dozen homes for many years to come, so that Mr. Wagner's venture has not been altogether unprofitable, while partially satisfying his curiosity as to tbe exist ence of oil In that immediate locality. Whatever you do, don't be a gump, says Leigh Mitchell Hodges. You know how some folks can't rest at all until they've passed along all the unpleasant news they happen to know. You know some folks are regular bluing balls, spreading pessimistic tales with false notions that maybe they'll have the same effect on people that bluing has on sheets and pillow cases. Nobody ever whitened the world this way, unless the bue comes from folks turning pale at the pessimis tic outburst. The way to whiten tbe world Is to make it yellow with sunshine. The more sunshine you pass along tbe more comes back to you. It costs you nothing, and even if it did you'd get it all back again with good interest added. According to reports emanating from Harrisburg tbe state of Pennsylvania has at least one source of considerable reve nue of which it has never availed itself, only to a very limited degree. Tbe un taxed taxable exists in nearly every county in tbe shape of Invested funds of fraternal organizations that pay benefits and distribute charities to their members only. An opinion given by tbe auditor general's department to tbe York county commissioners Wednesday regarding the taxation of invested funds of fraternal and kindred organizations, will have tbe effect of Increasing the revenues of man y counties of the state, when it becomes widely known Few of the county com missioners of Pennsylvania apparently are aware of the fact that tbe law requires assessors to return to county commission ers tbe moneys beld by lodges of all kinds not purely beneficial, which are earning Interest. Tbe postal picture card craze waxes not nor wanes, says tbe Oil City Blizzard. Almost every town in the United States now has bits of its scenery, its public buildings and many of Its homes. These pretty cards serve a good purpose. Tbe charms and tbe genuine beauty of many a small town are exploited, and a knowl edge of the growing taste of the American people is effectively shown, A knowl edge of geography is also imparted. But one of tli,e best results is the bringing back to memory of the elderly man and woman of the old familiar scenes of child hood and youth. Tbe old home, perhaps the swimming hole, tbe old covered bridge, hills once olimbed and slid down, streets once trodden by those now gone forever, but warmly remembered. Tbe pictures of historic places are most val uable for tbe rising generation, and tbe wonderful advance in tbe art of picture making is shown In these cards In a re markable degree. Tbe new law governing tbe killing of deer in the state of Pennsylvania has been a great success In tbe best sense of the word aud tbe wisdom of confining tbe killing of deer to one buck to tbe hunter has been well vindicated by the results at tbe close of tbe open season this year. The purpose of the legislation was to pro tect human lives at the same time that deer life was protected, to the end that deer might become more plentiful in the years to come, and that fewer hunters might be killed by reckless shooting. Tbe new law made every bunter look well to the object be meant to shoot at be fore doing so, and the fear of shooting a doe kept banters from recklessly firing at shaking bushes or moving objects at long distances away. Tbe result Is that no men were killed in Pennsylvania and only one doe deer killed in Central Penn sylvania, so far as heard from.--Ridgway Democrat. Propeily lived up to and enforced tbe law is undoubtedly a suc cess, yet in these whereabouts the scarcity of deer of all kind and sexes baa doubt less had much to do with the paucity of hunting accidents or incautious shooting of fellow huntsmen. Piano Recital of Unusual Interest. Franklin Cannon preseuted bne of bis most advanced pupils In recital last even ing. Miss Olive Lanson of Tionesta was tbe pianlste, and she was greeted by an enthusiastic audience which taxed tbe capacity of the commodious studios. Miss Sanson opened her program with tbe Beethoven Sonata, Op. 14, No. 1, which she played in a most interesting manner. Following this a Chopin group of five numbers gave Miss Lanson an op portunity to display her poetical temper ament. Then came a group of character istic pieces which were Interpreted in fine style. The well known and ever beauti ful Love Dream, No. 3, by Liszt, was given a soulful Interpretation, The beautiful singing tone which is one of the charms of Miss Lanson's playing was especially appealing In this number. Her climaxes were brilliaut and ber ca denzas rapid and clean cut. Tbe Brabm's Intermezzo, Op. J18, No. 3, was played with rare understanding, aud the enthu siastic applause wbicb followed spoke well for the pianist's Interpretation of that great master. The Hungarian Dance by this same composer closed the program, and it was played great, with fire and caprlciousness. Special mention must be made of The Dance of Death, by Saint Saens, played on two pianos by Miss Lanson and Mr. Cannon. It was given a strikingly char acteristic interpretation, the ensemble seemingly perfect. 7n this Miss Lauson's remarkable memory was given a real test and ber exceptional technique was Bhown to fine advantage. Besides several recalls Miss Lanson responded to two encores. Altogether the young pianist played from memory seventeen numbers, and it may be said witb truth that her versatility is very uncommon. Tbe recital was one of tbe season's events for music lovers, and Mr. Cannon is to be congratulated on bis pupil and the. complete success of last evening. Warren Times, 13tb. About ingestion.

Teachers' Institute. Tbe forty-first annual session of tbe Forest County Teachers' Institute con vened in the Court House, Monday after noon, and gives every promise of being one of tbe best ever held In tbe oounty. After devotional exercises, conduct ed by Rev. Mr. Piatt, Prcf. W. R. Egbert was Introduced and spoke upon "Language Work." He emphasized the Importance of teaching language through the story, and brought out the fact that the Btory, to be used effectively, must be told, or acted, rather than read. In this way tbe teacher comes in closer sympa thy with tbe pupils. The second address to the Institute was by Dr. C. H. Gordlnier, dean of KeeMar College, Hagerstown, Md. After greet ings to tbe leacbors, Dr. Gordlnier stated bow several years ago, a young man while in a bibulous state bad often told him that "Business is Business." Why should not the schools be run on the same business principles as any other line of industry. The oapital of a busi ness man consists of money, knowledge of the business, cbaraoter and health. Tbe teacher's character consists of aca demic knowledge, professional training, character and health. The business man must have enough money in bank to be able to discount bis bills. He mentioned tbe imparlance of discounts In business life. So the teacher must always know more than ho toadies In other words must be able to discount his bills. In stances related by the speaker of teachers who could and those who could not dis count their bills educationally. 2d. Ne cessity of the business man's knowing his business and importance of profess ional training on the part of the teacher. Attention given in recent years to the bow as well as tbe what. 3d.

Char acter Is shown in dress, In keeping out of debt, etc. Instances cited. 4th. Health, Brain-workers a long-lived class. No reason why tbe teacher should break down. Importance of health cold bath every morning, enough sleep, proper food and exercise, and worry reduced to a minimum. The teacher should take stock of bis capital as does the busiuess msn, and make an effort to strengthen It wherever Impaired. The musio is lu charge of Prof. F, A. Wheeler, with Miss Olive Lanson as pianist, and is an interesting aud exceed ingly valuable feature of the sessions, The entertainment Monday evening by Sbungopavi and Company was a decided success. The court bouso was crowded and tbe audience delighted. Tuesday 'morning session opened witb devotional exercises conducted by Prof, Egbert, alter which the following organization, was announced: Offioers President, D, W. Morrisou; Vice President, C. F. Felt; Secretary, Blanche Hunter. Enrolling Committee Hess II. liyers, Alice McCrea, O. B. Kelly, Executive Committee A. W, Jones, D. W. Summerville, H. H. Muhey, Raymond Russell, Orion Alllo, Prof. Egbert resumed bis discussion on language training, giving special at tention to the aim to be considered in teaching composition, and also to the details which constitute the elements of effective work. Prof, Peirce, of Ridgway, took up the subject. "How to be Happy Though a Teacher," and discussed tire various things which go to make tbe teacher's life happy. Special stress waa placed upon the magnitude and importance of the school as a factor that should bring a feeling of pleasure to tbe teacher. Em phasis was put upon the fact that to be bappy in her work (be teacher must be well prepared both in subject-matter and in methods of teaching, and must also know her pupils, Tbe last period of the morning was oc cupied by Dr. Gordlnier, who gave a discussion of the subject, "The Art of Questioning." The speaker illustrated tbe topic witb examples ol faulty ques tions, showing bow teachers unconscious ly suggest answers, either by the form of the question, or by tones of the voice. Tuesday afternoon session opened witb an address, "What Do You Know," by Prof. Peirce, after which Prof. Francis A, Wheeler, Jr. favored the institute with a vocal solo. Prof. Wheeler bas a magnificent voice and bis efforts deserve tbe highest commendation. Prof. F. A. Wheeler, the musical di rector of tbe Institute, gave a short talk on the methods of teaching music to be ginners. The fundamental point is voice training, and much practice in tone-formation is necessary to bring about proper results. The afternoon session closed with an earnest and able address by Dr. Gordln ier. Tbe subject, "Tbe Rule of Three," was used to show how bope, based on faith and multiplied by charity, devel oped character. Tuesday evening the feats of magic of Hal Merton gave good satisfaction to an audience that filled tlia court bouse to tbe doors. Prof. F. A, Wheoler, Jr. gave another fine vocal solo aud was obliged to return and bow to an encore from bis delighted auditors.
