Bia dictum that becauae be needs but little sleep other can get along without it lacks fitnena. It la really a matter that each one must decide for liluixeir. If Mr. Ediaon rea-ard sleep as a pastime and pleaaure, aa be bints, let htui take his pleanuie as rcrimplngly as be pleases, but let no one with less genius attempt to do good work without a restful period that renews the body and restores the nerves. -Rlizztrd. Right you are, air. That man Ediaon Is a l lamed aniarl feller and all that, but there's a heap of people who will continue wlthSancho Pansy, to heap blessings on the man "who Hist Invented sleep." Forest County and Its Valuable Assets. To the Editor of the Derrick. Dear 8ir:-The firm of Wheeler A Du aenbury, under the supervision of H n, N. P. Wheeler snd his son, N. P. Jr., own about 25,000 seres In Foret and Warren counties, lyiug In the valleys of Tlonesla. Hickory and Beaver creeks, sll ol which would be cut off from market by the proposed dams of the Pinsbnrg Water Commission. They have three large milla, one at Newtown, on Tionesta creek, and two at Endeaver, on Hickory creek. They have native timber sulllclent to last them a quarter of a centu-y, a Urge per centage of which la native pine. Tbia firm owns the most valuable pine timber InlheHtate, the only other tract that would compare at all ftivnralily with it being that of the Cook estate on the Clar ion river. It has In operation some 30 miles of standard railroad, a bridge across the Allegheny river to West Hickory, connecting with the Pennsylvan a rail road at that point, where ita tannery is al so located. Mr. Wheeler contemplates the reforesting of much of their stripper laud. The writer negotiated a sale of 1,200 sores to them about one year ago, 800 of which is barren, which tbey propose to plant to pine and hemlock. I am going to say, at a rough guess based upon my own Judgment, that this company, together with the Collina com panies, the holdings of which I gave a brief outline statement in a former arti cle, put into circulation by the manipula tion of their v-rious industries, not less than 11.600,000 or f.'.OOO.OOO annually, and a goodly sum of this money naturally gravitates towards Oil City, Franklin and Pittsburg. Every train that comes down the valley to Oil City brings customers of some kind to do shopping and attend to various branches of business growiogoui of these enterprises. Lawyers, doctors, merchants, botel keepers, and dealers ol all kind, In fact tbeentire commercial in terest ol Oil City and Frsnkllu, are more deeply involved and concerued in the perpetuation of these industries than many think or imagine. Every loyal cit izen who loves his borne and i concerned for the wellare of bis neighbor should put forth every effort to oppose the destruc tion of this most valuable territory. There are also a number of smaller firms operating in this territory. Orion biggins, of West Hickory, Is the owner of the beautiful West Hickory fsrm, who do nated the right of way to the Pennsyl vania railroad, and I think also the lands occupied by the tanneries. He owns valuable timber, oil and (arm lands in that locality, Coleman, Watson A Co,, with their large mills above the mouth of Tionesta, and their railroad running to their newly purchased timber lands, formerly Clapp estate, consisting of 2,300 acres of native limber, and a number of other tracts adjoining, that in all pro bability will be carried to their mills. Q. Jamieson A Sons, and Mr. Daniels, of Tionesta, are also extensive lumber and tie dealers. I might also mention the boat and barge industries carried on by Wheeler Dusenbtiry at Hickory, and by Collins, Kreitler A Co. a- Nebraska, where the laige fleets of barges and hosts originate that we so frequently see Host ing down our river. 1 have only touched upon a few minor features of the esse pending. If the editor and public will bear with me I wish in another article to call attention to the imminent danger that would constantly menace and Ibreateu the Inhabitants of these beautiful cities, and would Inevita bly sooner or Inter sweep down this en tire region, bringing desolation and death such aa would eclipse the Johnstown and Austin disasters.

Another advamw of 7 cents a barrel was announced by the producers, making the present prion of crude oil quoted at $2.40 a barrel with bright prospects that the rising quotations will reach the niHxIui.im of $3 a barrel.

Old age as It comes In the orderly pro cess of nsture is a beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, knowl edge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old sge as It olten is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, a Bluirgisb liver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and misery. This in almost every instance is wholly un necessary. One of Chamberlain's Tablets taken immedlatily after supper will im prove the digestion, lone up the liver and regulate tba bowels. Tbat feeling of des pondency will give way to one of bope and goud cheer. Sold by ail dealers. -Ad. IT IS NOT TO LAUGH AT Playwright Has Wholesome Fear of Ridicule, Most Powerful of Intellectual Weapons, The playwright's -eleventh command ment is, "Thou Shalt not get thyself laughed at." Ridicule has always been a most powerful intellectual weapon and one against which, when skilfully used, It Is difficult to offer an effective defense. But the playwright's fear of getting himself laughed at is not a personal one at all. At least, it is from a purely professional point of view that ridicule appears to him most perilous. Once I wrote a novel. I never did so much work before or since for $135.75, and yet I sometimes envy the novelist. At all events, be is mas ter of his own pages. No cat can walk into the middle of page 168 with out his consent. No blundering fly man can ruin the climax or his "big act" by lowering the curtain too soon or too late. The pet comedy scene of his book is never spoiled and blurred by the arrival in the midst of it of some bibulous party, just from a very gay dinner, falling over every one's feet on the way to their seats in the middle of a row. Fire engines never shriek past the doorway of his pages just as the hero is saying plaintively to the sympathetic heroine, "But why do I tell you all this?" Nobody In the front row ever falls in a tit and has to be carried out by the ushers right in the middle of his funniest para graph. All his doors close when he closes them and stay closed till he opens them. His actors always say what he tells them to say. A. L. Thomas In the New York Tribune.
