Twas False.

Monday morning the Dubois Courier
contained an item from that papers
special correspondent at Brockwayville,
which claimed that a young lady seven
teen years old, living near Brockport,
had given birth to triplets, which had
human heads and dog bodies from the
shoulders back, and that all are doing
nicely. The correspondent finished the
wonderful news item by saying, "This
is no fish or snake story, but fact as
reported to your scribe by a reputable
citizen OF that vicinity" The report
had lie on the face Of it, because such
thing is an impossibility. A gentle
man came from Brockwayville Monday
evening and said there was no truth in
the statement and no foundation for
such report.

Blew Out His Light.

A corn doctor got two dry goods
boxes and three or four tallow candles
for lights and opened up his medicine
grip and his "bazoo' on Fourth street,
near Hotel Belnap, Saturday evening
and soon had large crowd around him,
with the small boys in the front row.
The corn-cure peddler soon learned
that the boys could make more noise
than he could. Polite requests for the
boys to behave was like water on a
ducks back. The impudent young
scamps threw paper balls at the candles,
extinguishing them one at a time until
the old doctor and his audience were
left in the darkness. The fakir said he
had paid license to sell on the street
and he should be protected, but in this
statement he handled the truth rather
carelessly, for he had not paid for a
license. While the old man was
breaking an ordinance and should have
been "pulled in" for it, yet that was no
excuse for the hoodlum actions Of the
small boys.

Kicked Out.

Glenn Milliren has young horse

Kick Mt one whenever II gots an oppor-

was driving his nag along Main street
In buggy and when he got opposite

Billy goat hitched In a little wagon.
Glenn's horse mistook Billy for dog
and kicked at IL and started 10 run.
At the Belnap house the animals rear
extremities flew into space and one foot
caught Glenn on the left side and raised
him out Of the buggy. The runaway
bent an axel on Jacob Schwem's
buggy, which was standing on Fourth
street, near Hotel Belnap, and then
the horse ran into pie Of brick and
left the buggy and took jaunt TO Solo
mon Shairer's lumberyard and came
back and met Glenn on the street and
stopped. The buggy was little
disfigured, Glenn's watch had the tick
knocked out Of IL, as IL was between
Glenn's side and the horses hoof when
the kick was delivered that compelled
the young man to ungracefully get out
OF the buggy, otherwise there was no
damage done. The young merchant
was little sore for few hours.

An old farmer named Irwin Is buried
at the top of one Of the barren noun
tains that towers above the G. Il M. R'y

Many years ago the old man was work

and other stuff. He made request
that his remains BIO buried In that lone

hardly be run down between the coffin

Most all Wind,

A fellow, OF this place, and an
other, OF Hopkins, raised quite an ex-
citement near the A. v. R'y station last
Saturday evening just after the seven
o'clock train pulled out from the sta
tion. The parties had some previous
trouble and Jim, with number OF
friends, was at the train TO meet Harry
for the purpose OF settling the matter
In Sullivanistic style. The Hopkins
lad had a crowd with him. Words are
cheap and wind plenty, but when it
come to the fighting point Jim lacked
staying qualities and he ran through
the crowd with Harry after him.
Jim squealed for mercy and the fight,
without the spilling Of drop of blood,
ended. There Is no doubt but that
some person was to blame for the dis
graceful scene, just whom we are una
BILE to say, but II would have been right
to have arrested the participants.

Tunbled In.

Tcnnie May, eleven-year-old daughter
OF William Barkley narrowly escaped
being drowned In the Sandy Lick creek
last Wednesday. Tennie and her little
brother, Gearing, and Junna Love
crossed the creek on foot log, short
distance below Mr.. Barkley's house, TO
gather some elderberries. On tho home
ward trip Junna crossed first and
Tennie started after her, but when
near the middle Of the stream she
stopped to wait on Gearing, she being
afraid no might fall In. While standing
there waiting Tennic got dizzy and
tumbled into the water. She went
down twice, and when she came up the
second time she caught hold OF board
and held onto II until help came. Tho
screams Of the children attracted the
attention Of some follows who we're
playing cards under shade tree hard
by, and they hastened 10 the rescue.
Before the men arrived Gearing stood
on the frail foot walk and reached out
his little hand TO help Tennie out Of the
water, but the girl had sense enough TO
know that she would pull her brother
In TO II she took hold Of his hand. The
parents were away from home and Dee
wanted Tennie TO go and get meat for
dinner before she started for berries,
but Tennie would not go. She says IL
was awful dark under the water and
all she could think Of was not going
after that meat for Dee.

Grange Picnic.

The third annual picnic Of the Para
disc Grange, No. S54, was held In the
Miller Grove last Thursday, and was
an exceedingly pleasant affair. The
rain the night before and the strong
indications OF more rain Thursday
morning, induced some people TO re-
main at home, but notwithstanding the
unfavOrableness In the morning q large
number Of people, with well filed bas-
kots, hied themselves away 10 the grove.
Lumber had been hauled TO the grove
and platform built and the remainder
OF the boards we're converted into seats
and long tables. At 1l.30 A. NJ, J. M.
Norris called the picnickers together on
the seats In front OF the platform for
few appropriate exercises. Jacob SUIT
ter was elected TO preside and ye editor
was chosen as secretary. The program
was as follows: "Welcome song" by
Noah Strouse and family; address Of
welcome by Mrs. Noah Strouse; music
by choir, "WhOm Shall We Let ?"
The speakers Of the day not being pres
ent yet, Rev. II. G. Teagarden was
called upon for an address, and he told
the Grangers all he knew about farm
ing, which was not very much, and
then discussed some Of the topics Of the
day in which the farmers are interested.
Instrumental music on a mandolin and
two guitars by w. L., Estella and John
Strouse. Rev. J. III. Jelbart was then
called upon for few remarks. Rev.
Jelbart said his knowledge Of farming
was limited, In fact he was ignorant OF
farm work, but II the subject was on dig
ging coal he might give them a few
pointers, however, Rev. Jelbart said
some things that were worthy Of con-
sideration. Dinner was announced,
which was good news to some people
who were on the grounds. Space will
not permit giving the bill Of fare,
but people who have ever been FORUM
ate enough to dine with some of the
good farmers OF Paradise settlement
can have some conception Of the eata-
bles that were piled on those long
tables meath the shades OF the tall for
est trees. While the woodpeckers were
busy pecking on nearby trees, pine
squirrels were running from tree TO tree,
occasionally stopping long enough TO
give the audience some Of their peculiar
music, and the wind toyed with the tree
tops, the picnickers were busy storing
away the viands that had been prepared
by those adapt in the culinary depart
ment.
At 2.30 the program was again taken
up. The choir sang several excellent
pieces and ]. T. Altman, of Thompson
town, Pa, lecturer for the Pennsylva-
mia State Pomona Grange was intro
duced, and he occupied the platform
for an hour. Then ID. B. McWilliams,
of Juniata, was introduced and he gave
the people good talk.
A number OF the people ate their sup
per in the grove. In the evening an
ice cream festival was held in the
Grange hall which was largely attend
ed, mostly by young people.

1t will be remembered that the last
mail brought the news that Spreckels

Hawaiian matters in an interview with
President Cleveland himself Sure
enough, he did go to the capital city,
but he came back much quicker than
he expected.
According to private letter from
Washington received by prominent
member of the Government by this
mornings steamer, Mr. Spreckels made
application to the President for a
private interview and did not get it,
receiving instead curt but polite re-
fusal. In other words ''the aged cooie-
driver got about the worst snub HI
ever got in his life, and it is no wonder
he soon shook the dust of Washington
from his feet.
Those about the Hawaiian Ministry
in Washington were highly elated over
the affair, but sorry to see the old
gentleman depart in such hurry, as
his presence at Washington has been Of
great good to the cause Of the Pro
visiona Government.
