Should you have an opportunity to
make the trip between Tionesta and
Sheffield by the creek route in an auto
don't refuse it, for a more enchanting ride
could not well be pictured and a finer
route could not well be selected for a
real ly sensible Joy ride. With the ex
ception of a mile or ao between here and
Nebraska, and about the ssme distance
farther up, in Warren county, Ibe road ia
a veritable dream. A careful driver can
cover the forty mile distance easily in
two hours, but one should take three In
order to enjoy the grandeur of the scenery
and the many beauty spots so charming
to every lover of the sublime in nature.
The splendor of the trip cannot well be
described. It abould be enjojed to be
appreciated.
Here la a true egg story that, for
freakisbness and all-around wonderful
ness, will bold the record lor some time
to some, we think; Saturdsy Charles
Hunter of the west side, Tionesta,
butchered a hen for the Sunday dinner
that bad laid an egg a few boura previoua
measuring 6 by 7X inches. On dissect
ing the hen he found In ber egg case six
Other fully developed eggs with regular
shells, and each egg measuring 6 by 71
I cbe! Thinking that bis story might be
doubted, Charlie called to wltnesa several
persons snd full Investigation was made, j
so that there la no getting around or dis
puting the story or any part of it, Char
lie's chief regret Is that be bippened to
hit upon that particular hen for the Sun
day feast, aa be Is curious to know what
might have become of aucb a great slock
of eggs.

Henry J. Sines of New Castle has
been appointed state game protector for
Lawrence, Mercer and Venango counties.
The appointment was made by Governor
Tener, under a recent act. The position
carries with it a salary of $H0O per year
and expenses. Mr. Sines ia one of 20 who
are to be appointed In Pennsylvania un
der the new aot. The new office created
differs materially from the old office of
game warden. TJ nder the former law the
warden waa dependent for bia salary on
the number of arrests be would make.
He received a portion ol the floes. This
feature is entirely eliminated by the new

A whole lot of disappointment is felt
over the fact that M. 8. Carnaban'a latest
venture on the Wheeler A Dusenbury
lands In Kingsley township, proved a
mlscllp. The well is located on Ross
Run, near where tbe Whig Hill road
crosses tbe stream, and Is down 1410 feet,
at hlch depth tbe Balttown sand was en
countered and found to be void of either
oil or gas, and tbe casing waa pulled and
tbe bole plugged without shooting. In
tbe third sand a small showing of gas was
found, but not enough to bother with.
Whether Mr. Carnahan will give up
operatlona in that territory we did not
learn.

A Gala Day For Endeavor.
"One grand success," that is the only
term we can use In describing tbe street
fair held at Endeavor on the evening of
Tburdsay, Aug. 14th. It was a bummer
from the word go, all the features meet
ing with tbe approval of tbe more than
1000 visitors that crowded tbe grounds
from 4 to 10 o'clock.
To explain the extent of the entertain-
nieut would take np too much space, but
let us picture for you in words bow very
beautiful that "Little Pocket in the bills"
looked lu her festive garb, with hundreds
ol lights arrayed into a "Gay White
Way." First came the Hub pond In its
rustlo setting; then tbe candy booth which
waa the storm center for the children.
Then a cute little novelty "Rebecca at
the well," an original idea of serving
cooling drinks from a stone well, with a
pretty maiden doling out the delicious
lemonado.
Space will not permit us to describe all
tbe features of the day. If you missed It
we are sorry for you, but we will say that
it was one of the prettiest sights we bsve
ever seen.
Tbe "Cave of the Winds," tbe "Paroel
Post office," the "Fish Pond," the "For
tune Teller," and the "Trip around the
World," were all mighty entertaining
aud as well patronized.
Danny Wallace was there with bia
eighteen entertainers in the "Dark town
Minstrel SLow." Danny deserves much
credit for training these boys so well. He
bad one Little Tot, Master Gene Hart,
wbo sang "I'm the Guy" In a very pro
fessional manner. Then five boys about
12 yeara of age did a darky song and
dance in a vory pleasing way. His ten
big singers were also well received. Mr.
Willard Porterfield was the middle man
and carried tbe ahow off In great atyle.
Mr. Tbrom with bis violin, and Lloyd
Cleveland aud Lee Thomson with tbe
boms, furnished most excellent instru
mental music.
Danny appeared In bis minstrel Jumble
but be was the one busy man all over tbe
grounds. He did not stay very long in a
place but bad tbe audience with bim on
bis "Another Rag" song.
Tbe athletlo meet under the able di

of it and it gave uih permanent relief,"
