There was talk some time ago that an electric road would probably be constructed from Clarion to Hedrlck's Crossing as a connecting link, hut nothing is ever heard of the project now ana probably never will be again. Another Old-Timer Heard From. t Oak Ridge, Pa., October 5, 1908. Editor The Star: As the old-timers of Sandy Lick valley have been un loading their experience of a half cen tury ago, more or less, l will fall in line. Just about this season of the year fifty-four years ago I first struck Reynoldsville and worked for a few weeks, for the late Thomas Reynolds. I can now recall the names of a number of men that were employed by Mr. Reynolds. They were Orlando Gray, Gordon Harris, Robert Spades, John McCrelght and Big John Clark. At that time the town was a rather back woods affair. Wood Reynolds was the only man that had the distinction of living In a brick house. A Mr. Dun ' ham had a store On the opposite side of the pike and was the only merchant In the town. Tbe only means of trans portation was by the old tarpole ' wagons. Joe Morrow made occasional trips between Tyrone and Erie with bis mountain schooner carrying eastern product! westward and bringing back fish, cheese, hides and perchance some venison. That fall Charles Prescott started to cut the timber on a tract Above Sandy Valley. 1 " I often wonder If there are still I others of our jolly old crowd living. The only one I ever met sinoe was John Clark, whom I once met on the B. R. & P. R'y. Yours Truly, D. Knapendergeb. wnere Bullets new. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, says: "The gr id 1 Electric Bitters has done Is worth more than five hundred dollars to me. I spent much money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little pur pose. I then tried Electric Bitters, and they cured me. I now take them as a tonic, and they keep me strong and well." . 60c at Stoke & Foicht Drug Co. drug store. Letter Lint.

Summary: Touchdowns, Nolan 4, Wescoat 3, Shields 1. Goals, Nolan 2, Burns 1, Shields 1. Did you'see Shields make his touch down on that forward pass (first ever). The roo (ng on the side lines was the best we have heard for a long time. Tbe R.'H. S. football team will meet the strong Clarion Normal team on the latter's grounds on Saturday. From the indications of Saturday's game we have a good chance of winning at Clar ion Saturday. The team would like to have a crowd 'of rooters accompany them.

Mental Tribulations of the Supersti tious Woman. The superstitious woman started to go downtown, but found that she had forgotten something. It was hard work to get her to go buck for It, but when she did sat down for n few minutes to "take the curse off" before going out again. Ou the sidewalk she passed a cross eyed man and had hard work to keep from spitting three times over her left shoulder. The first ear that came along was No. 13. She let It go by and waited eight minutes for an other. On the way downtown she re marked to a friend that she "had been In excellent health lately." Instantly she was obliged to loose her glove anil nib her bare palm ml the wood of the bench before her. As she and her friend were walking on Twenty-third street some thoughtless person darted between them. The superstitious wo man was much disturbed and worried over the thought of n coining separa tion. That night her husband upset the saltcellar. She Insisted on his taking a pinch of tbe salt nnd throwing It over bis shoulder. When she dlsrolmd for tlio night she discovered thnt she bad been wearing one stocking wrong side out oil day. It was the sign of good luck, and It allowed her to go to bed happy. Rut some time In the night a dog howled dismally under her win dow. From that moment she has been looking for n calamity. Nothing will make her believe that there will not soon be n death in her Immediate fam ily. St. Louis Republic. When the Noise Let Up. Two young women of stolid, common sense appearance were the sole femi nine occupants of a subway car until there entered a flashily dressed girl, with face mode up like a cosmetic ad vertisement and accompanied by a young man attired In the "extreme." The two young women eyed the new comer with Interest while they con tinued their conversation. The train slowed down at tbe next station, tbe rattle and bang of operation ceased and the voice of one of tbe young wo men became suddenly audible: "If I had a face like that, do you know what I'd do? I'd hock It" The girl with the makeup looked daggers, her escort looked foolish, the speaker looked out of the window and a dozen passengers looked as though they enjoyed It, New York Globe. Hit Insignia. The mayor of Z. Is a self made man, and, as In tbe case of some others of that kind, not too much attention was paid to bis early education. A little while ago a gentleman who was en gaged In compiling n work on corpora tion regalia wrote to his worship re questing a photograph of Jjls insignia. The mayor by return of post replied that he was only too pleased to accede to the other's wish. "But," he wrote, S. "instead of a mere photograph I beg to send you the genuine article." And there followed immediately under neath In good round copperplate the mayoral signature. London Answers. Makes Cowards of Ui All.

Municipal Sidewalk Con struction in Strattonville CORKS HAVE DISEASES. Caused by a 8mall Worm Which 8poils the Flavor of the Best Wines. "To the n vertigo person a cork Is a cork," said a well hniwu restaurant man the other day. -Hut smell this cordial. Would you believe It?" And he held up n bottle supposed to have the bouquet of then-leu all the way from the blossom to the pit. The odor was musty and altogether unpleasant In fact, It was decidedly bnd. He con tinued: "Now, the man paying 20 cents for Ills tiny glass of cordial after dinner Is entitled to have It free from Imper fections. . If he bought a bottle of wine with that flavor, he would say the wine was bad, for ninety men out of n hundred know nothing about bad corks. He would want another bottle of wine or bis money refunded, nnd he would bo right. "The defect Is la a tiny worm lu the cork that Is often Invisible to the man cutting corks nnd sometimes cannot be seen ufter tbn cork is drawn. A cus tomer wllftnste the wine and say, 'Bad wine.' You explain about the cork, and he will say: 'Impossible. That wiy a beautiful cork beautiful!' And jet wo know that tho contents of the bottle never could have that flavor under other conditions "I tell you there are millions of dol lars walling for tbe mini who onn In vent n perfect cork thnt will stand the test of years for flavor and preserving qualities. If It rotild bo proved that bis Invention was perfect, be would innke millions In a month." New York Herald. MRS. ANDREW JOHNSON. The Life In Washington Was Not a Happy Time For Her. Mrs. Johnson was so much of an In valid that outside of intimate family friends very few knew her. She ap peared only twice In public during her husband's administration. Still, her In fluence was a strong one, and it was exerted In the direction of toleration and gentleness. A slight movement of her hnnds, a touch on her husband's arm, a "Now, Andrew," made It easy to see thot tbe woman who Find helped him through his struggling youth and given her health to bis service, who had taught him to write and had read to him through long winter evenings In the little tnllorshop that bis active mind might be fed while be was prac ticing his trade still held ber place in his life. She was a sweet faced wo man who showed traces of beauty through the sharpened lines caused by the old fashioned consumption which was wearing her out Her face was not unlike that of tbe late Mrs. Mc Klnley. The death of ber eldest son was a blow from which she never fully recovered. The life in Washing ton was not a happy time for her. She told me herself that she was far more content when her husband was an In dustrious young tailor. William H. Crook in Century. Nubar Pasha and the Pipe. Soon after tbe occupation of Cairo by tbe British troops the late Nubar Pasha took a prodigious fancy to tbe music of the Black Watch and bad. the Idea of having a servant taught tbe use of the bagpipes. Nubar dispatched a French friend, who spoke English very well, to interview a piper on the subject Donald replied: "Weel, he mlcht learn or he mlcht no. Bit, let me tell ye, It needs wind an' mickle strength tae fill the bags o' the pipes an' keep blawln'. Sae if yin o thae Egyptian chaps took the job on he'd need tae be bandaged a' ow're like yin o thae auld mummies, or maybe he'd burst hlm sel" This conversation was reported to Nnbar, who took the piper's remarks seriously. So be gave np tbe Idea of having a skirler attached to bis Louse hold, as! the use of the bagpipes was attended with the prospect t such danger to the performer. Westminster Gazette. Depth of Cyclone. From the stndy of clouds an official of tbe United States weather bureau concludes that ordinary cyclones which traverse our country from west to east are not more than two or three miles in depth, although their diameter Is many hundreds of miles. In other words, tbelr motion does not affect the upper regions of the atmosphere. In the case of hurricanes this authority finds that the depth Is greater, amount ing to as much as five or six miles. But higher currents blow directly across the cyclonic and antlcyclonlc areas which produce storms and fair weather at the surface-of the earth. Chicago Inter Ocean. . Brought tho leers.

C Uy jj Clarion County Village Adopts Principle That Deserves Imitation. LEVY ANNUAL'SIDEWALK TAX Strattonville, Clarion county, is a little town, but It la governed by bor ough laws, and while it has no paved streets nor sewers, yet In one point It has a feature that other munlolpalltles should follow. That speclul foature Is that all of the siilowalks within the b-jrough limits shall be built of cement and paid for by tbe borough. The town council levies a small tax for that pur pose and each year builds some side walks, but no more than the sidewalk funds will pay for. In this way the sldowalks already laid are all uniform and substantially built. In a few more years there will be good sidewalks In front of ovory property and the build ing of them will not be a burden to any one property holder. We believe that every municipality should build and repair all sidewalks and that every voter should be required to pay a small sidewalk tax. The people who howl the loudest about bad side walks are the ones who never pay one cent to build or repair sidewalks. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. .
