Evidently Mr. Wil son wanted nothing in hi that might look like a Waterloo affair. Hon. A. R. Mecbmno, Forest oounty'a representative at Harrisbure, frtd sumptuously in the matter of committee appointments, having six assignment", as follows: Bureau of Statistics, Centennial Affairs, Fisheries, Forestry, Game, and Public Roads. These are all Important committees and will keep our member busy for the most part of the session. In the organization of the House at Harrisburg Monday nlyht the Committee on Committee's report was thr.iwn over board In so far as the chief and resident clerkships were concerned, Thomas 11. Garvin of Delaware county, and William 8. Lelb of Scl uylkill, respectively, being elected to tbee olllces, defeating the can didatea set up by tbe committee. They occupied these positions in the last As sembly and had personal strength enough to overcome the set-up by tbe committee, which, after all, is nothing more tbsn a piece of machinery la the bands of a boss, fur worse In fact tban a caucus-dictated slate committee. You will observe now that nothing Is being said about tbe enormities and tbe iniquities of tbe tariff. During tbe cam paign of last fall all of our Ills were as cribed to the wicked Payne Aldrich tariff and President Taft was denounced as something of an Intellectual monstrosity for having signed it. Now the policy of let the tariff alone, or at least touching it very gently, is promulgated as tbe only wise policy for the Democratic party to pursue. High pressure business pros perity, such as we now enjoy, is not re garded as possible under anything but ample protection by any sincere free trader. But why go Into spasms aliout tbe robber tariff, and then decide to let It go ahead and rob? Ptinzy Spirit. Special Road Election Probable. A oiotig the early matters for considera tion by the legislature of Pennsylvania when It convenes tbia week will be tbe measure to submit to tbe voters of tbe state the proposed constitutional amend ment to borrow $.50,000,000 for construc tion of highways, ssvs tbe Tilusville Herald. This procedure will he In the form of a joint resolution, which takes tbe same courso as a bill, and which must pass three readings in escb bouse nf tbe general assembly and then be certified to tbe governor. Constitutional amend ments can be voted on by tbe people only after having been passed by two legisla tures. Two years ago tbe legislature approved of tbe proposed araeudment and If the resolution Is passed this year the people of the state will have an opportunity to register their will very soon. One of tbe plans discussed is a bill to submit tbe question to tbe people at a special election to be held within ninety days after tbe passage of tbe resolution, which would enable Ibe present legislature to enact ways and means to carry tbe amendment Into effect. A special election would settle the question very promptly and this plan sp pears to meet with general favor among tbe legislators. II the amendment Is not submitted to tbe people this year in time to permit tbe present legislature to pass tbe necessary act to provide for tbe isu ing of tbe bonds, tbe highway building program mut await tbe action ol tbe legislature of 1915. Feed The Game Birds. Dr. Joseph Kalbfua, secretary of the State game commission, sends out tbe following earnest appeal in bebalf of some of our game birds, which we hope will strike a responsive chord in tbe hearts of those so situated that tbey can act upon his suggestion: "Winter, with all that means, has come, psrts of our Slate are already covered with snow, and all parts will, in all prob ability, soon be in tbe same e ndition Bob White has run tbe gauntlet between long lines of enemies, and is now called upon to face the worst of all Starvation He may be In good shape to-day, but soon tbe snows will have ahorteoed bis food supply, reducing bis vitality, so that when tbe cold rains begin be will not be disposed to venture out for tbe first day even though bis stomach be nearly empty but will ait huddled with bis friends in some point of shelter until tbe first day is past, and then on the second day, driven by hunger be faces tbe storm, securing no more food perbapa than before the rain began; and then with every feather drip ping, chilled to tbe bone, with an empty stomach and still more greatly reduoed vitality, be buddies with ba little family for tbe last time to die, to freeze, or to be smothered by the drifting snows. Hi entire pathway along life's journey marked with good deeds to men. Won' you who may read tills try to help blm In this his hour of distress and need? You are perhapa wasting every bour moro tban enough to keep Bob and his entire family in food tbe year around. I beg of vou to bunt blm up and scatter feed where be can get it. One bushel of grai placed where be can And it means more to bim now tban does all tbe kind word that may be uttered in a century. What applies to Quail, may also be said of all our winter birds. I beg of you, no mat ter what your ivosltlon in life may be, sip feed tbe birds. If you cannot do th : yourself get some one to do it for . VVriie to the Ga i e Commission Harrisburg, Pj for bulletin No. 2." Kellettville. Mrs. M. D. Spencer Is visiting her daughter in Oil City this week.

On account of the open winter tbe indling wood factory baa so few orders thst tbey are only running about half tbe force, and in consequence a good many of their men are out of work. Although tbe weather bas not been fa vorable a g'od interest is manifested in the revival meetings in progress In tbe M. E. church. A number have bowed at tbe altar and tbe interest ia Increasing. Meetings will be held each evening ibis week. Mrs. James McMicbael and Miss Lois Welsh, of Sheffield, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. K. A. Babcock and other relativea nd friends In town this week. J. C.

A heavy storm suddenly struck here on Saturdsy afternoon accompanied by wind bail, lightning and thunder, that made things go some while it was in progress, which was about twenty-live minutes. Many treea found their way to the ground nd two rigs so far aa we have Doted up to tbe present time, one on tbe South Peon Oil Co. lease, and one on the Proper lease. TlieS. A T. trafn going toward Sheffield ran Into two trees between Sheriff and Hastings, and on Its return trip found tbe track torn up near Hast ings wbere a tree bad fallen on tbe bill ud slid down ou tbe track turning tbe ails over. Tbe train was hung up there for two hours until tbe repairs were uisde allowing tbe train to proceed on its way. There was a pair of newly weds on Ibe train that amused the passengers so that time flew pretty fast and all was mirlb. All on board bad a good visit 8Dd were none tbe worse for tbe detention. Prof. Bill was a passenger and entertained tbe udience with some comical sayings, There was one thing lacking tbatis nearly always present a drunk man. Tbe tele phone line of the S. 4 T. is out of com mission but the Buttermilk Line Is still on tbe job. Rupert conversed with a womsn at Endeavor on Sunday by switching his telephone on to the N tlonal Transit telegraph wire whon he found that it was mixed up with tbe En desvor local lines at that place. The J. C. Miller Lumber Co. are shut down for a few days for tbe purpose of repairing the boiler on their mill on Min istcr, and the filer took this as a chance to visit bis people in tbe lower part of tbe county. 'Hinkey" Haigbt bas taken unto bim self a wife and the young people as Is tbe custom, gave them a serenade on Satur day night bringing out all tbe noise pro ducing instruments possible and after viewing tbe couple and wishlbg tbetn tbe best wishes, etc., departed in peace to their homes. Tbey now await tbe next victim. There was an unusual thing happened during tbe high water at tbe pump Sta lion here. Tbe drip tank used to catch what oil leaks from tbe pumps is burled in the ground and when the water came up it took out the oil and replaced It with water. There Is a siphon in this tank made of two-iucb pipe toslpboo the water out and bas to be started by filling with water. But when tbe creek began falling this time it started the siphon aod when Rupert went to start it he found tbe tank empty, tbe sipbon having started of its own accord. This is a very rare occur- ranee. On Wednesday last Mrs. Miles O'Don nel gave ber soap club a dinner and all but one of the women in tbe club were present. Mrs. J. C. Black of Porkey was unable to attend having a sprained ankle, but Mrs. H. E. Gillespie of Kelletville, wss up and kept the ladies amused as Bbe Is a jolly lady. Mrs. Wes Durnell also was one of the bunch and could make you laugh if your grand tnomer was corpse, and kept tbe festivities enlivened Tbe dinner was as good as any mortal could devise and tbey sure enjoyed tbe sumptuous feast Lady O'Donnel laid be fore them. We are almost in mourning because we were not able to atteud our self. Tbe women were all well pleased wltb the day so spent and hope it will occur again.

Claude Llttlefleld is improving the lot wbere be lives aod it looks fine. The boys have tilled the old tank grade with water for a skating pond and now are hoping for a freeze to complete thii tine pond. Tins will be mnch safer than the creek and tbe smallest children can learn to use shales tnere wben it becomes frozen. Tbe Allaire sisters spent Sunday with their pareuts at Cberry Grove, and we are thinking the danger Iroui snow drills this winter is going to be very small. Fit His Case Exactly.

Adv. Dressing By The Thermometer. Unchangeable clotbes, not tbe change able weather, are responsible for much of the grippe and many of tbe colds tbat are prevalent just now It enple would use judgment In tbe way they dress, tbey would not be obliged to worry atout every rise or fall of the temperature. Suit your clothing to the weather. If you perspire In an overcoat on a warm day It ia likely that you will be chilly the next day In the same overcoat If the thermometer drops towards i.iro. If it Is moderate, do not put on your overcoat. Then when it gets colder you will be able to enjoy the effect of extra clothing. When you go Into a heated train, take your overcoat off. If you are obliged to atay In a warm olUce even for a short time, do not keep your overcoat on. The temperature In doors remains shout the same all 'he year round. Therefore, the extra warmth la not needed. Don't wear heavy underclothes. It Is more Import- n I to pay attention to the kind of over coat you put on than to use Ibe heaviest underwear in tbe market. Do not wear zero clotblug in a 70" tem perature, for tbe heavier clotbea will do you little good when the temperature falla. Common seuse In dress will save many doctor, bills. Karl da Svhweinils.

It you snorted will applaud you; if you don't I lien our judgment will be belter than yours aud we aball have taken not the more brill ant aud enticing pa' ha, but the safest course along which lies real progress for mankind."
