Presence OF Mind.

Four officers sitting in bungalow |
in India, writes Miss G.. c. Hopley in
her recent book, "Snakes," were deep |
in game of whist. Suddenly one of |
them, turning deadly pale, made signs
that no one should move or speak. In
a hushed whisper he exclaimed:
"Keep still, for heavens sake l
feel a cobra crawling about my legs !"
He knew that timidity was one Of
| the strongest characteristics Of the
snake, and that, il not disturbed or
| alarmed, it would in due time depart ,
Of its own accord. All present were f,
accustomed to the stealthy intruders, !
and did not, happily, lose their pres I
ence of mind. They very noiselessly ,
bent down so as to take survey be- (
| meath the table, when, sure enough, I
there was the unwelcome visitor, full !
sized cobra, twining and gliding about z
the legs of their helpless friend. Lit

ments are large, and cousignments are
sent from Maine to Chicago, and one
shipment even to California. The
Hub Factory is being enlarged and
will soon run nearly double its present
capacity which is now four hundred
hubs per day. The r. r. people have
put in switches or short side tracks of
ore mile each into Reck's, Byrom's,
Towler's, and Curl g. Campbell's mills,
SO that places that old hunters and
fishermen never dreamed Of seeing a
wheelbarrow, now echo to the whistle
Of the twenty. -four ton engines. This
year the bark peelers have invaded
the township ana the falling Of trees
and shouts of the army of peelers are
heard on all sides.
Much improvement is manifest in
farming and new houses are springing
up in all quarters. The schools Of
the township are excellent, and the
board of directors is determined thai
pupils and parents shall have the full
benefit Of Pennsylvania's grand sehoo
law. A new school house will be pu
up at Gilfoyle, or Curl, Campbell &
Co. 8 station forthwith, and needed re
pairs put on the others. In this con
J necti n it's only just to the liberality
of Curl, Campbell & Co. to state tina
. they give to the board deed for one
j. acre of ground and all the rough lum
;. ber needed in the new house. 1t i
i Just such men as these that are needed
men who not only talk but act; mel
who not only say they wish the chill

board liberal help to accomplish tn

Schools, one at Byrom's Mills and on
. at Marienville, are in full blast. Tw

a one Presbyterian. The latter will prob

r In Political matters Jenks is abou
), as good natured a township as is i
T. existence. Ia local elections, polite
don't count. One j. P. is a Democrat
the other Republican; the schoc
board has four Republicans, one Greer
backer and one Democrat road CON
t missioners, one Democrat and tw
It Greenbackers; auditors, oHe Republi
Il can and two Democrats. In count

average; once in a while a "drun

= but the determination Of good citizer
y to not allow any rowdyism, and th

has tendency to keep any "wOuld.t
