The Atchison Globe thinks tbere is
some hope for the boy who has to be
driven into the bathtub, but mighty little
for the one who has to be driven away
from the mirror.
An item was pnlilinhed last week to tbe
effect that tbe Republican State conven
tion would be held "June l!Hh." This
was an error, as it should have read
"Wednesday, June 16ih."
According to a Rood old German be
lief Thursday, April 1st, was "apple day."
Accordion to the legend if the sun shines
fair on that date there will be a bumper
yield ol apples. As that day was oue of
tbe few real sunshiny periods that has
occurred, a heavy yield ot apples may be
expected.
The Marathon long-distance run craze
is going to weaken a lot of you tin men and
cause serious lieirt and other troubles, If
untrained and unscientilio youths keep
on trying its attractions. Long distance
running is uot good for the man who is
not trained up to it.
Thk general road bill, carrying an ap
propriation ol 14,000,000, was passed by
the House at Harrisburg, Tuesday of last
week, with no opposition. This means
that Tionesta will get the balance of ber
paving this year, as the bill will no doubt
be signed by the Governor, with possibly
a slight paring of tbe appropriation.
Thb man in town thinks all a farmer
has to do Is to sit under a shade tree and
watch thini.8 grow, A farmer thinks all
the town man has to do is to sit behind
tbe counter or at tbe desk and rake in tbe
money. This is tbe reason that every
fai nier wants to move to town and every
towu man wants to move on a farm.

In spite of the autos there r.re more
horses than ever In tbe United States. A
recent estimate places the number at
twenty millions and this is a marked in
crease. Also, tbere are four million four
logged mules. Probably tbere will con
tinue to be an Increase in the borse pop.
ulation, but not in proportion to the
number of human inhabitants.
Thb new school code bill was passed
finally In the House at Harrisburg, Mod
day, by a vote of 107 to 86. It has been
greatly changed by many amendments
and will hardly be recognized by its
friends. The capital park extension bill,
carrying an appropriation of 12,000,000,
which bad been defeated, was recommit
ted and passed by a vote ol 119 to 78.
If you don't believe that tbe local op
tion campaigns out in Indiana are lively
these times, you should read the press
dispatches, one of which reads as follows:
"In Blackford, the saloon men gave out
meal tickets for every free lunch tbe
women served, and every hour wben tbe
church people rang the cburcb bells tbe
liquor advocates tired anvils and bad
bands on tbe streets playing lively airs.
In many parts of tbe county relays of
temperance people were appointed to
plow for farmers while they went to tbe
polls."
In the spring tbe town man's fancy
turns to thoughts of garden sass, and he
toils with hoe and shovel, spoiling all bis
nice green grafts; and he plants the seeds
or pumpkin and of cabbage and of beans,
and be has some soothing visions of a
mess of early greens. In the spring tbe
cow grows restive, longing for some
verdant grub; she is tired of eating saw
dust and old turnips from a tub; and she
sizes up the garden that the town man
loves so well, and she climbs the fence at
midnight and It would not do to tell
what the town man says when viewing
all tbe ruin she has wrought; type will
sometimes melt wben printing language
only half as hot.
AN exchange, in pointing out the ab
surdity of tbe expression, "as silly as a
goose," says naturalists, who have been
studying the fowl for years have come to
tbe conclusion that she Is tbe wisest old
bird going. She never quarrels without
cause; she sees danger before any other
fowl; she has more courage than tbe roos
ter; she is far braver than the gobbler,
and, if given a fair show, she can beat off
the fox. A flock of geese, squatted around
tbe barnyard at night, is a much greater
protection than tbe watch dog. They are
light sleepers, and -vlll give tbe alarm
the instant they see a stringer moving
aooui. ho in niture say "As wise as a
goose," and eive ber all credit,
Thk average young inau does not real
ize that knowledge is capital, and that
learning bow to be useful to his employer
is more Important than tbe pay be re
ceives. "When you get a job," says
Success Magaitiue, "just think of yourself
as actually starting out in business for
yourself, as really working for yourself.
Get as much salary as you csn, but re
member that that Is a very mnall part of
the consideration. You bave actually
gotten an opportunity to get right into
the very heart of the great activities of a
large concern, to get close to men who do
things; an opportunity to absorb knowl
edge and valuable Becrels on every hand;
an opportunity to drink in through your
eves and your ears, knowledge wherever
you go in the establishment, knowledge
mm win ne invaiuauie to you in the fu
ture."

Deal It of Hon. John A. Proper.
Ex-Judge John A. Proper died at bis
home In TIod x ; .t 8:15 p. m., Saturday,
April 10, 190. ; ailments incident to old
aje. He was tbe eldest of a family of
eleven children, only one of whom sur
vives blur, Isaiah Proper, of Wallacevllle,
Veuango county, who Is in bis 80th year
and In feeble health. His wile, Sarah
Proper, passed to the other shore on
April 22,1904. Heissurvivtd by three
sous and four daughters, as follows: Mrs.
Daniel Wallers or Tionesta; Mrs. S. A.
Varner or Litchfield, Illinois; O. W.
Proper, Mrs. F. R. Lanson, J. F. Proper,
Miss EuRetta Proper and F. C. Proper,
all or Tionesta. Funeral services were
held at his late borne Tuesday afternoon
at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by Mrs, Clara
Watson of Jamestown, N. Y., and the
body was laid to rest In Mt. Collins
cemetery.
John Archer Proper was born In Plum
township, Venango county, Pa., on 8ept.
12,1815. His father's uame was Daniel
Proper or Holland Dutcb, and bis mother
Margaret (Archer) Proper, or Highland
Scotch descent. His grandparents were
pioneers or Plum and Cherrytree town
chips. In youth our subject received tbe
limited education which the schools or
that early day afforded and be Improved
these opportunities, going to school an
working ou his father's farm until he was
of age, wben he went from home, going
to Randolph, N. Y., where he worked for
some time. He next engaged as a Jobber
in the lumber business in Warren and
Venango counties. The writer obtained
from Judge Proper some years ago the
following statement or bis Interesting lire
wbicb I give in bis own words as near as
possible: "I was named for my mater
nal grandfather, John Archer. My
grandparents, tbe Archers, died within
abort time of each other during tbe war or
1812. When the soldiors passed through
Cherrytree village where they bad settled
on tbeir way to Erie, they caught tbe
camp fever and died and were buried
among tbe first in tbe old Cherrytree
graveyard. I wss married to Sarah
Grove in September, 1847, in Plum town
ship. She was a daughter ol Jacob Grove,
who was a son of Peter Grove, the famous
pioneer and Indian tighter. His family
consisted of two girls and two boys,
Concerning himself he further says: "I
lumbered on tbe Conewango about eight
years. At that time the Indians helped
me to run my lumber; tbey made good
raftmen as well as good pilots. I ran tbe
Allegheny river for over 30 years. As
pilot I ran rafts for Guy Irvin and Judge
Chamberlain and never stove or wrecked
a raft. I knew tbe river well and oflimes
ran both day and night from Warren to
tbe mouth of the Ohio."
These sketches are interesting as they
relate to tbe early days and illustrate tbe
vast enterprises and hardships or tbe
pioneer in the lumber industries or this
portion or our State, In wbicb our subject
was so prominent an actor. As imme
diately connected with his Forest county
life, be came Into wbal is now Its borders
lu 1847, and purchased warrants 3816 17
and be thus narrates it:
"I then bought the tracts on Little Coon
creek, cleared up a field or two with great
labor, raised bay and farm products,
planted an orchard, built two saw mills
on it and sawed off about 15,000,000 feet of
lumber. I originally supposed that tbere
was only 1000 acres in these two trscts,
but Richard Irwin surveyed it for me.
and it turned out to be 1,300 acres. I
afterward sold this property to John A.
and Joseph G. Dale."
In tbe fall of 1856 be purchased two
farms in Clarion county and lived on
tbem until tbe fall or 1867. Selling these
places be then moved to Tionesta where
he has resided ever since.
"Man in bis time plays many parts,"
has been truly said, and our subject was
no exception to the general rule. Afer
coming to Tinntsta be purchased the Tio
nesta House at the mouth of tbe creek, a
famous old inn of the town in its day.
no was iuo wen Known proprietor for a
few
years ana Dougnt other valuable
property in tbe same vicinity. He in
company with John Rock, deceased, was
extensively engaged In merchandising,
the firm being known as Proper A Reck.
Tbey eventually sold out tbe store to M.
Einstein. After this be was lamely en
caged as sn oil producer, especially in tbe
Ralltown field, wbicb business was suc
cessful in bis hsnds. He also purchased
a large tract of over 500 acres adjoining
tbe borough known as the "Arhuckle
tract," lately known as the "Proper
farm." 1 1ns he cleared up in fine shape
and placed thereon valuable buildings,
snd it Is worthy of note that the first crop
be put out was a field of wheat which
yielded wonderfully, having enough for
himself and shipping away two car loads
by rail. Can I do better than to here
quote rrotn i tie "History or Forest Coun
ty," where it says:
"Judge Proper has been one or the
most rugged and enterprising pioneers ot
that section or tbe county, of remarkable
strength, courage and powers or endur
ance; a natural woodsman and noted
hunter, having In recent years, when
nearly 70 years of age, bunted and killed
as many as four deer in one day."
Ibis is a fine tribute hut to it may be
added that for over half a century be has
been a citizen or what is now Forest
county, that be was one or tbe last links
uniting this generation with the earlier
setters or this section. To boys who bave
grown up, become men and to tbeir
families he was always a familiar and
welcome person, and was one or tbe most
widely known and respected citizens or
the northwestern part or our Slate. As
sn Associate Judge he was not one in
name only, for be had tbe natural ability
and fearlessness to decide for himself
what justice and mercv required when
occasion offered. The fields he cleared,
tbe bouses be built, tbe industries he
promoted are all monuments and wit
nesses of bis energy and activity, but
this long snd useful life is now ended and
be peacelully passes away to that rest so
welcome to the weary toller of earth.
Without being a professor of any partic
ular creed be was governed by mercy
and lustire, and it may well he said or
him, as was written of one of bis acquain
tances much like him by a native poet:
"He was a man of rare good sense,
Of close investigating mind,
Self educated and self made.
Rut few like him are left behind.
He practiced on the Golden Rule,
Tbe best, the fairest rule ere given
To take us safely through this world,
And point the way to peace and heaven,"

New Railroad Talk.
Tbe Titiisville Herald, In a two-rolnm
article published yesterday, states that it
has positive information that tbe Peun
aylvania Utilities company, a New Jersey
corporation with M.OOO.OOO capital, will
build a new steam railroad from Titus
ville through Tionesta to the coal fields
at Punxsutawuey, and that the Erie ra
road is behind the scheme. Upon this
road there may also be operated the gas
olino or electric cars. The Pennsylvanli
Utilities company is planning Bteain rail
roads from Titiisville to Union City and
from Titiisville to Cambridge Springs;
also a trolley line to Mead ville, branching
from the Cambridge line at Little Cooley,
and a trolley Hue down Oil Creek to Oil
City. Tbe talk or a railroad to this dl
rection is almost too good to be true. We
have talked new railroads so many times
and then bad tbe schemes flatten ou
that this time we won't get excited until
we see the new road coming. However
tbe Herald says it has been "shown tbe
goods" and that the road will surely be
built. We can assure the projectors that
the new road will be welcomed with open
arms, should they decide to come this
way,

A Terrific Windstorm.
A terrific wind storm passed over
tbis seotlon, in fact over tbe whole coun
try, last Wednesday, and great losses In
property damaged and destroyed are re
ported from many sections. Tbe wind
kept up all day and far into tbe nlgbt,
and at times reached tbe velocity of
howling gale. Not much damage is re
ported in this viciuity. The oil fields
near bere suffered very little, owing to
the fact that few slandaid rigs are now
used. A large chicken house wbicb Ar
cbie Davis was building on the old Uin-
ton place, up town, was blown down. At
West Hickory a new building not yet
completed at the tannery was wrecked.
Tbe roof was torn off the barn on Uarry
Lovell's old farru on German Hill, part
or wbicb bad gone In previous storms,
Tbe glass front ol Anderson A Wolf's
store at Newmansville was blown In but
was caught before It fell and no damage
resulted. The smoke stack on C. Daum'a
mill, near Tylersburg, went down. A
house being built for John Pratber on
what was formerly tbe Jacob Overlander
farm at the mouth of Juglianille run, on
Tionesta creek, was destroyed. Mr.
Pratber bas been particularly unfortu
nate of late. Two weeks ago last Satur
day bis bouse and about all of its con
tents were destroyed by fire, which
caught while he was absent at work in
tbe woods. Tbe bouse was a log struct
ure and boarded up on the outside. Mr.
Overlander informs us that it was one of
tbe oldest dwelling bouses in thissection,
having been built by Judge Win. White
about eighty years ago,
Pleasant Grove.
