Pat noted that his bedfel- low was very bald and proceeded to chaff him. This the barber endured in silence, but when Pat had fallen into a heavy slumber the other man got up and shaved every hair off his tormentor’'s head. The Irishman hav- ing a long tramp before him on the morrow, had left instructions that he be called very early, and, it being still dark when he rose, he did not notice the loss of his hair. When some diz- tance on his way, however, he felt thirsty, and, coming to a spring, tock off his hat and bent down to drink. Seeing the reflection of his bald head in the water, he sprang back aghast. “Be jabers,” he exclaimed wrathfully, “they’ve called the wrong man!” Where the Faint Went.

The main shaft is down 700 feet and will be put down, 500 feet deeper. The mine is reported to be the find of the century. Reports from outlying districts show that the storm Tuesday afternoon did great damage to oil property in Venan- go county. The Sugar Lake field, north of Franklin, suffered most heavily. It is estimated that 39 oil derricks were raz- ed. Lightning struck a 100-barrel tank belonging to Brown Bros., and the fire that followed consumed the entire con- tents. Farmers of the Quemahoning valley are armed and guarding a point that has been selected by the Cambria Steel Company for the erection of a dam four miles long and having a depth of 75 feet at the breast. The farmers declare the dam will be a menace to public safety and decrease the value of their lands. They fear a repetition of the Johnstown calamity.

A PAINTER AT 96. Thomas Sidney Cooper, member ol the Royal academy, is probably tha oldest of living painters, and certainly the most aged of painters who are still at work with the brush. although 96 years old, is an exhibitor in the academy of the present season in London. His paintings represent- ing the seasons are among the most interesting pictures of the London ex- hibit this year. Sixty-six years ago Mr. Cooper hung up his first work of art on the academic walls. It was a painting of farm life and created no little sensation, being the germ of the great school of cattle painters who have since delighted the world witl their work. It was the great Verbock Loven of Brussels that discovered THOMAS S. COOPER. young Cooper’s “feeling” for cattle and encouraged him in his studies. The founder of the cattle achool began by drawing designs for carriage decora- | tion, but was rescued from that useful | art by the Flemish master. Cooper’s eye retains all cernment of color, while his hand is amazingly steady and his brush true. PROMINENT PEGPLE. . Theodore Roosevelt is five feet nine inches in height and weighs 105 pounds.
