We who In our boyhood slept on atra ticks now complain of tbe bigb cost of living as we climb aboard our hair mat tresses, observes an observant exchange. The announcement by Col. Roosevelt tbat be will accept the Domination for President if tendered biui by tbe Repub lican convention did not come aa sur prise after bis Columbus speech and visit to Cleveland last week. The full text of bla letter is given In tbe news columns of the Rkpcslicas today. Tbe Colonel sup plements bia abort letter with tbe assur ance that be will support tbe convention nominee should it be otber (ban himself. It therefore goes without saying that tbe Republicans will elect tbe next President of this glorious Union. lit an interesting article in tbe March Woman's Uorae Companion, descriptive of tbe work of Miss Rather Allstruin, who, aa Food Inspector In tbe City of T co ma, baa made a long and successful fight for clean lood, tbere appears tbe following clear and forceful definition of just what it means for s dealer to sell bad food to consumers: " Passing counterfeit baa long been crime severely punished, and everyone resents being so imposed npon. Is not counterfeit food, wbich is laden with disease or lowered in food value, even a greater crime, wbich tbe whole public ought to resoulT A Isrge part of every Income Is invested in food, and every citizen baa a right to expect good, clean food for good, clean money; be ought to demand it when be buys." The church bas been said to be five times out of ten the most poorly venti lated building In town, Tbe other five times it is tbe school. Again and again teachers complain of tbe stupidity of their pupils wben tbe children are only sleepy because of tbe stale, impure air. Tbere are few artificial ventilators that work properly. Tbe closed school room soon becomes unlit to live In. Tbe only satis factory way to ventilate the school room ia to throw open all tbe windows. In some cities tbe rule is tbat tbe windows must be opened for five minutes every bour. During this interval tbe pupila are given calisthenlu exercises. This puts tbe blood into circulation, keepa tbe children from taking cold, wakes them tip and makes them do better work. Every teacher might adopt this plan with auccesa. Why not take it up in tbe schools of your town? It will mean bealtbierand brighter children, saya no less an authority than Karl de Schweluita secretary of tbe Pennsylvania society for tbe prevention of tuberculosis. Clterrj Grove. S. A.

Pitnta Gorda, Florida, Feb. 2-1 It Is the 24tb day of February and I have jus come in Ironi a harvest scene. I mopped the ever exuding sweat from my Apollo-like cervix and remarkably high brow, and aought the grateful cool of tbe umbrageous oiange and the grace ful cabbage palm as I came. A thousand birds sang their sweetest summer carols and flitted hither and thither through the verdant maugrnve and tbe sun browned palmetto. A half dozen hammock-land mosquitoes, with two Inch suckers, ao com pan led me to the corporation limits, and the perennial bumble-bee hustled from fllower follower. I must say I like these harvest scenes In February. Tbey are line business and deserve commendation and encourage ment. They are muchly to be preferred to the frosted ear, the congealed palanges, and tbe nervous, excitable chilblain Some may prefer the frostbite to the mos quito bite, and it is rone of my concern If tbey do. I have nothing to say on tbe wisdom of tLeir preferences; I shall not commit myself; tbe courts will attend to that in due course. I do not think it la possible lo e-cape both, but I know tbat a well-timed migration will escape the rigor and roar of old Boreas and defeat the avarice of the most energelio coal man. Likely, in Southern Florida, the poor mosquito we shall always have wlih us, or until tbe Kvergladee, the Imprao ticable say grass marsh, tbe soggy slough, tbe soggy prairie, the wet prairie, the low places, the bummack lands, aud tbe scrub marshes shall be drained. And considerable progress bas already been made with lie drainage canals. Billy Bryan, the great Common Divisor, says tbe Everglsdea and the mauimotb lake, Okeechobee, can be drained and the richest sugar cane land in the world opeued to cultivation. But along comes Frank Clark, a member of Congress Irom Florida, and squeals tbat be bas found an irregularity of two dollars and forty centa in tbe expenditures of the engiueers, and the Investigation la on at Washington. I am told that Mr. Clark's elevation since be came to Florida was rapid, and a good many people down tbia way feel like elevating biui still higher, lending the toe of a boot. It is suggested that these drainage ca nala be run across the Atlantic and con nect with the Suez, thence to tbe canals on Mars; also that tbey be made part of tbe Panama dig and get In on that appro priation. These are very good sugges tions; may be tbey can be carried out; certainly it is possible to attempt It, and tbere is nothing under tbe sun this nation is incapable of attempting. But I am wandering from tbe harvest scene. It is a babit I have where strenu ous work is going on. It mlglit not be called harvest up our way, and I distinct ly remember that, on the big farm in Center county where I learned the finesse of agriculture, we called it "raising" tbe potatoes. But here it is "barvesting" the Irish potatoes. Doctor Stone, formerly of York, Pa., sent out word that be need ed a number of men to aid in barvesting his potato crop, and I immediately re sponded hoping to get out lo the farm in time to to see bow potatoes were gath ered in the South in February. I saw all about it. Fine red-cheeked potatoes tbat ran about two bundled bushels lo the sere snd expected to fetcb f2 50 a bushel Tbey rolled out easily from tbe soft sand as l)ri ht snd clean aa cherries. I do not know bow many I picked; I know I got sufficient to make tbe alligator in a near by pond duck his bead and make for bis tunnel in tbe bank. Now this harvest scene will occur three times a year on this farm, as it will on most otber farma in Ibis vicinity. Verj little grain is grown here in this (Desoto) county, but potatoes, cukea (cucumbers), and all vegetables thrive and mature in four or five months. Indeed, thistis tbe Isnd of tbe perennial harvest; whoever bas tbe bai vest bug well developed should come here snd harvest all tbe time. Tbere is always something ripe or ripening, and there are do leaves to rake in tbe fall. This county contains 3750 square miles snd bas a population of 14,000. You could put nine counties the size of little Forest into it and have some to spare, It stretches from tbe Gulf of Mexico over half way across the state aud touches lake Okeechobee on the southeast. It is settled only aloDg tbe west coast, tbe Punta Gorda bay region and tbe Peace river dis trict. Tbere U room tor all the overplus in tbe world here; there are sunshine and flowers and star sheen and moon glow, without snow or Irost, but somehow I hanker for the rhododendron, the honey suckle, and the Bpeckled beautiea along and in little old Tubus creek. Wallace Chadman. .Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Klinestiver drove over fro. n Uickory one day last week and called on relatives here. Mis Wilda Thomson visited relatives in Tionesta last week. Hon. F.

Mrs. Geo. McKown and daughter Zora were in Tionesta on Saturday. Fire broke out iu tbe home of T. D. Collins about 4:15 o'clock Thursday after noon, Owing to the headway of the fire and the bigb wind tbe efforts of the lire meu to extinguish the flae were useless, but part of the contents were saved. We understand there was no insurance. A quantity of lumber Is already on I be site for tbe erection of another bouse. I. D.

Mrs. Gesin ofUermau Hill is visiting ber daughter, Mrs, Frank Combs, at this place. Til k much discussed waste of natural gss is stated by the United States Geolog ical Survey to be rapidly decreasing. Tbe problem of conserving the natural gas supply may be considered as having been satisfactorily solvod In Penusyl vania, throughout the Appalift'lilHii and the Lima Indiana fields, and in Kansas, The greatest waste is In Oklahoma and In the Caddo field of Louisiana, owing In Oklahoma to probable looseness In en forcement ol the laws and In Louisiana to lack of a market. It Is noteworthy that one of the two wild wells In Louisiana that have been sensational examples of waste bave been successfully closed and tbe (fas thus conserved for future use. A Letter From London. London, F.nuland, Feb. 12, 1012. Editor RKi'um.iCANt-Whal we con sidered the worst prt of our journey, If nut the longest, la now over and we are In London. Our heads are still feeling the motion of the boat, though we have been ashore some hours, a new experience for me, so you may judge that the boat had more motion, of the rolling kind at least, than In my previous experience. We reached New York about two hours late Thursday we always expect lo be lale by the Brie. Our time in New York waa very full but pleasantly spent. We took dinner Friday with Rev. and Mrs, F. F. Sbotip, who live in Brooklyn, and beld a missionary meeting at New York Friday night. Mrs. Shoup snd a number of other friends came on the boat wltb lis Saturday morning and aa the boat began to move at 0;'M) a. ni. from the wharl struck up "God be with you till we meet again " and waved when their voices could no longer be heard. We had a very pleaant outside cabin, aa large or larger thsn wo ever had, and we have never been on a boat where the stewards and stewardess were more obliging and thoughtful than on the New York. There were not many passengers as compared with summer and scarcely any American citizens. In fact of the sixty one secmd class passengf rs, count ing children, our own party was all I knew of being horn in the United States, though tbere may have been some men. But the bulk of the passengers were Knglisb, French, etc., either returning from a visit with friends In the states or el -e going back to the.r native land to visit relatives during this the slack season ol the year for wotk. I was pleasantly surprised to find we could sit out n the side of the deck away from the wind most of the lime quite comfortably with a coat on and a steamer rug wrapped about us. Saturday and Sunday we had a very good sea, but Sun day nlgbt we had a storm and it seemed as II tbe sea was lashed into a fury, al though different ones said it waa not bad as compared with seas they had seen. Monday nigbl the sea calmed down but all I be way we had more or less swell, causing the boat lo roll lo such an extent that tbe frames were on tbe lablea all week. Part of tbe time we bad bead winds and then the boat did not roll so much but pitched instead and of course could not make as good time and instead of reaching Plymouth Saturday afternoon and Southampton Sunday morning, we did not reach Plymouth till Stindsv morning and Southampton about 8:30 Sunday night. The boat did not have on it much cargo and probably rilled more Inconsequence but is so built that it is considered quite safe, notwithstanding 1t rolling, snd different ones said we bad a very good passage for winter. Mr. Smith aud tbe children were all sick and kept little if any food down Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I did not feel extra good but waa up aud on deck and ate souio eacb meal, "feeding the fibea" only once, Monday evening, and that was probably the result of being shut in doors all day because of the waves com lug over I lie deck. After clearing our things tbat we want ed at tbe hotel and having tl e rest put in bond, we came on up to Ixindon and are comfortably situated at the hotel where we stopped when we went to Africa ten years ago and also wheu we leturned to America. We shall be here until Satur day morning, when we go to Southamp ton and start for Africa the same day. Of our stay in London I will write you later. We are resting today and writing, while Mr. Smith ia attending to business. We would not wish tor you a winter trip across tbe Atlantic but wish you were here with us now lo take in some of tbe sights of this wonderful city. Ever your friend, Rosa Hunter Smith, It EC EN r DEATHS. CHURCH. Charles Henry Church was born at Hanover, Vermont, Aprii, 13, 1826, and died at bis home at East Hickory, Pa., Feb. 21, 1012. Tbe subject of ibis sketch came to this section with bis parents, who were John C. and llattie (Corse) Church about tbe year 1S35 or 6. They puicbased the land which became tbe last home of the deceased and which included tbelarru now owued by C. R. Middlelon at East Hickory. Tbey also at one time lived on tbe farm afterwards known as the John Siggius farm near tbe old Asbury Chapel on the bead waters of Pithole creek. In 1848 Mr. Church was united in marriage with Sarah, daughter of Wil liam and Sallie Hunter, pioneer residents of this community. After bis marriage be lived on a farm which be bad already cleared on what Is now known as Cburch Hill, Hickory township. This farm bis elder brother, Ira, afterwards owned and occupied until bis death, a few years ago, aud Is now owned by S. E. Cburch. After a residence ol about ten ears near Mill Village, Erie county, Mr. Church re moved to the old homestead at East Hick ory where bis last days were spent in comfort and contentment, made so by the solicitous care of bis only surviving son, Madison Church. Here his devoted wife passed away in 1H!)4, and they now sleen Bide by side in the cemetery near tbelr lale Home. Throughout his long life Squire Church was honored and respected by his neighbors and acquaintances, who showed their faith In him by calling biui io oinciai position, u Having for many years held thentllceof iuaticenftba peace; also being elected at different times to the otUce ol count v coroner and Jury com missioner, all oi which duties he dis charged with fidelity and honor. Tbe de ceased was a iiiembur tor many years of ine fti iv cutircu at Kasl Hickory. His pastor, Rev. W. W. Dale officiated at the Inneral which was held at his late borne Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, attended by a large concourse of the Irienda and neighbors who had esteemed him highly in life and now mourned him iu death. !IOO KKWAKU, IOO.

Tho speakers, both foreign aud local, were well posted in their subjects, emphasizing the necessity of keeping tho soil In condition to ruiso larger crops with smaller acreage. if necessary sowing grass seeds in August without nurse crops, thereby insuring a catch; the advantages of orcharding with spraying indispensable, proper pruning, etc., the economic maintenance of the pro ductive power of the soil, poultry diseases, foods and feeding, fruit culture with mod ern improvements. The advantages of dy namite to tho fanners were ably presented by A. B. Burkholdur, of Pittsburgh, show ing the benefits to be derived by its use in the old orchards by light explosions around tho roots of tho old apple trees, ditching, subsoiling, etc. The educational sessions were of interest to all. The use of good books and how to procure them by Robert P. Bliss, and the high school In the rural district by Prof. J. L. Simmons were ably handled to tho satisfaction of all. Read ings by Missus Pearl Detar and Margaret Lorom were of a high character and de noted skill and proficiency in reading. The music by tho high school chorus of Kel lcttvillo was nicely rendered and appre ciated by all present, as was the instru mental music on tho piano by Master James Flynn. At Tionesta medical inspec tion of schools by Dr. F. J. Bovard was ably handled and well received. The ad vantages of an education for tho farmer boy by Prof. F. W. Gill bristled with good thoughts along that line. The enlargement of women's sphere by Rev. H. A. llailcy was nicely handled, bringing out many points in favor of tho advancement of women's sphere. The essays at both insti tutes were of a high character, The Home and Its Maker by Mrs. II, B. Dotterrer of Kcllcttville, and Domestic Science by Miss Blanche Tease of Tionesta, showed thought and method iu handling their subjects. Tho male quartette at Tionesta was the feature of the evening sessions, rendering several nice selections and being frequently encored by the appreciative audience.
