No man ever becomes great, wise

in life, you will succeed ; but if you
are indoleut.improvident and change

Tho adoption of the free text book
system eamo just at tho right time.
Tho scarcity of employment and the
dulness of tho times would havo
made tho buying of text books for
tho term a serious task for many
parents. It is no trifling matter to
supply a boy or girl with books and
supplies necessary for successful
work at school, uud this year iu
particular, it would havo been im
possible for Homo parents to have
bought tho necessary books for
their children, and quito a number
of boys and girls would thus have
been kept away from school on
account of not having tho necessary
books and no means of procuring
them.
Writing of the peach harvest iu
Juniata county, Bro. Allison, of the
Jlcntltl, says it has proved far
less profitable to the producers than
they expected, because of tho un
precedented yield of tho Delaware
uud Jersey orchards, and tho want
of business tact and cordial co-operation
among tho producers. A
Walker township grower shipped 30
crates of choice peaches and received
a return for tho lot of only 05 cents.
Ho reccomonds that tho, peach
glowers of Juniata county organize
u peach exchange, whero all peaches
shall bo inspected before shipment
and nono but choice fruit in good
condition shipped, and to such
places only us there is a demand for
them and whero responsible and
honest commission men have been
engaged to haudlo them.
The Flag Raising
The raising of flags on our publio
school buildings by the P. O. S. of
A. on Friday of last week was suc
cessfully carried out as advertised
and in tho evening the pupils of our
publio schools gave a most enjoy
able little entertainment in the court
house. They were followed by Rev.
Moorhead, who delivered a most
thoughtful and entertaining address
on tho great questions of the day.
He is a keen observer, an omnivor
ous reader, and the possessor of a
most retentive memory. In fact Mr.
Moorhead hns a mind oX his own.
Ho never takes anything Tor grant
ed, but after thoroughly acquainting
himself with the subject, ho renders
his verdict in plain languago pay
ing little attention to word-painting,
for he has the gift of language, and
devotes his entire attention to the
dissecting of the subject before him.
He opened the doors to a number of
important national questions and
lead his hearers to the portal where
ho bade them stop, aud look, and
think, and before they were half
through he had them !ookiug in an
entirely opposite direction at a ques
tion of an entire different nature but
of equal importance to our country's
prosperity. He is one of tho most
entertaining aud instructive speak
ers wo ever heard.
How To Keep Apples.
The keeping of apples during the
winter largely depends on the mode
of handling them when they are
harvested. Apples that have fallen
to the ground have become bruised
to some extent, . and. will sooner or
later begin to decay. Sish apples
should be made into 'cider, for
vinegar, without delay. Apples
that are to be stored should be
picked from the tree and handled
carefully, ho as not to permit of the
slightest injury to n single one, it
being well known that whero one
rotten apple is in the barrel the
others are liable to rot sooner than
if nil aro sound.

A practical committeeman, in pre

graduating class in nu Ohio city
spoke as follows : "Girls, in present
ing you these diplomas, if. bv their
significance you aro lod to allow
your mothers to do all tho work,
bake all the bread, sween all the

or demonstrate a theorem in geom

Lis sou to keep his eyes wido open

A Genuine Bear Story.
One night last week Hiram and
John Waite, of Watcrstreet, Hun
tingdon county, went to a neigh
boring mountain for coons. Nei
ther of the boys is over 10. They
carried a double-barreled gun and
were Recomputed by a dog. Tho dog
soon tracked a coon, which led the
boys a l'u'MTy chaso almost to tho top
of tho mountain, where it was trood
'4 t' w fits Hiram, the elder of the
boy, 'iltpptl'; 6 Buu ou finback
and started to climb the tree He
had ascended only aliout ten feet
when a largo black bear appeared on
the scene. Hiram jumped to the
ground and with his brother start
ed on a run for their home about
half a mile distant. The bear, w hich
had killed the dog at one blow of its
paw, started after tho boys down the
mountain. The boys wero too
frightened to attempt to show their
pursuer fltlit and so they coutiiiuci
to ruu. Tho bear gave the boys a
closo chaso until they reached home,
when they succeeded in getting into
the door just us the bruin caiiie up
Mr Waite aroused by the boys' cries
soon ascertained the trouble tun
with a farm hand ho attacked the
bear with an ax nud killed it. The
bear was a full grown female tun

A Week in Camp.
En. Post. Last week I had the
ploasuro of camping out with a most
congonial party, of Union county
folks, viz : Martin Reed, wife, and
sou Tom, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Stitz-
er, Daniel Moss aud wife, and sou
Jimmie, Mr. aud Mrs. Steadmaii,
Charles Stitzer and Will Moss. Our
tent was pitched at Laurel Run,
four miles east of Woodward, in
Penns Valley Narrows. Wo named
it "Mid Mountain Camp" being lo
cated at the junction of three hugh
mountains. Tho country is full o:
small game, and the skill of our him
tors never left the pot empty of
gamo. W had quito a number of
visitors in camp during tho week
who added greatly to tho pleasures
of tho occasion.
Wo all longed for an adventure
and wo got it before wo left for
homo. It came in the shape of u
"bear." Tho men had all gone out
hunting leaving tho ladies alotio iu
camp. All of a sudden one of the
ladies espied a black object in tho
thick brush. She saw it move, an
at once sore amed "a bear !" Thin
was tho signal for a general stampede
and, of course, wo all run, but were
soon called back. Tho bear turne
out to bo a member of our party
whom wo called "Ptitti." The wt
was ouo of unalloyed pleasure, am
will bo treasured us one of tho most
pleasant recollections of a life time.

TROXELV1LLE
Dr. Miller has moved into the
houso occupied by Tillio Heinley
and has his ollico iu David Mattern's
ouMpuce. . . .Tho story circulated
that a hunmu uvau bflu !""" frtun !
several miles east of this pmce and
that Dr. Miller had it'in his posses
sion has no truth in it. This is the
way the story started : Thomas J.
Weikle, who owns and resides on
the old Michael Moyer mill property,
in company with another man, found
several locks of human hair under a
stone somewhere above the mill
dam. This was enough for some
people such as tho world is full of.
Here some one "chipped iu" aud
asked, "But how did these hair get
there?" Well, Thomas Jordan
comes forth and explains it pretty
clearly. Everybody that kuows "der
oldt Tom Yardou'' knows that he
has a habit of letting his hair grow
to a considerable length before hav
ing it cut. Well, Tom says that
several years ago he got his hair cut
and his whiskers shaved off and then
placed the hair under a stone iu that
vicinity ; and iu all probability this
is his fleece, and the mystery is re
vealed. .. .Tom, you were misin
formed when somebody told you
that tho Booneys killed eleven wild
turkeys last Monday. They killed
only three Amos II. Herman gave
his uew house a coat of paint....
Dr. Miller is busy digging tho cellar
for his new house, which he will put
up next summer.... Last Saturday,
while Harrison Schrader was gather
ing chestnuts iu his woods, ho dis
covered a certain fellow in the act of
shouting ono of his (Schrader) do
mestic turkeys. When the culprit
discovered that Mr. Schrader was so
close tit hand he dropped his "game"
and disappeared in tho dense under
brush, but too late, for Mr. Schrader
was too closo and had already iden
tified the smart fellow, uud knows
exactly who ho is. Mr. Schrader
gave me his name, which I will with
hold on condition that ho w ill coin-
ply with Mr. Schrader's demands,
which aro as follows : That tho fel
low will como forward uud tav full
value for tho turkey, uud promise on
his word of honor never u-'uiu to en.
ttr upon Mr. Scliradui's land for
the purpose of hunting or any other
unlawful net. If ho refuses or ne
glects for a period of fifteen days to
comply with the above demand he
will be deull with according to law.
Mr. Schrader is a whole-souled, big
hearted fellow, and, in our humble
opinion, shows too much mercy for
such an individual, Ho should
make a pretty example of him, and
it may put a stop to such hunting.
