to get the fowls down from Their

seen fowls remain on their perch for

Child Married.

Ada Travis, daughter of William
Travis, of Poverty Flat" and Burl
Ferrier, Of Clearneld county, were to
have been married in Dubois Monday
evening. The girl is only trihe over
twelve years old and the boy seventeen
years old. Travis gave his consent for
the marriage and license was granted
in this county and then the couple had
to go to Clearfield county to get the
consent OF the parents Of the boy, and
get license in that county. When the
father of the girl went to Justice in
this place to get papers made out for
marriage license the Justice tried to
persuade the father not to give his con-
sent for the marriage of his daughter,
but he would not be dissuaded. We

There Are Others,

There are women who are comely,
and there are women who are homely,
but be careful how the last word you
say. There are women who are healthy
and women who are wealthy, there are
women who will always have their way
There are women who are truthful,
women who are youthful-was there
ever any women who are old? There
are women who are sainted, and women
who are painted, and women who are
worth their weight in gold. There are
women who are slender and women who
are tender, there are women who are
large, fat and red. There are women
who are married, there are women who

For Parents.

With the opening Of the Reynolds
vile schools on Monday of this week
went into operation the Compulsory
Education Bill" passed by the Legisla-
ture Of Pennsylvania at the session Of
1895. In order that parents may know
just what their duty is and what risks
they run, we publish below that por-
tion of the Act which states what chill
dren must attend, and gives the penalty
that parents or guardians shall be sub
jected to for failing to obey the law, as
follows:
parents are required to send their
children between the ages OF eight and
thirteen years to schools in which the
common English branches are taught
during at least sixteen weeks of each
year in which the schools are in session,
excepting children who are disabled
mentally or otherwise, where the school
house Is two miles from their homes, or
where children are educated in private
schools for the required period. For
the first neglect, parents are subjected
to fine of two dollars, and not exceed
ing five dollars for each subsequent con-
viction, the money to be paid to the
county treasurer for the use Of the dis
trict. II the boards desire, they may
appoint attendance officers to arrest
children of school age and also set aside
truant rooms. The assessors at the
spring election must take census OF
children between the ages OF eight and
thirteen years. The list will be fur
information. The parents of children
who have been absent five days In any
month are subject to fine, II upon due
notification and without a good excuse
be entered before petty magistrates, but
parents or guardians have the right of
appeal" "

Big Apples.

M. NJ. Moore, an Industrious and
thrifty farmer who resides near Reyn-
oldsville, was in town Friday and
brought with him five immense apples
which he left at THE, STAR office. We
doubt If there are any .armers in this sec
tion who have such large and pretty ap-
Piles in their orchards as those brought
to this Office by Mr.. Moore. We measured
and weighed one of the apples. 1t
weighed Is ounces and measured 14i
inches in circumference. The apples
were all about the same size. Mr..
Moore says he took fifty apples off one
tree and any one Of them did not weigh
less than one pound. The foreman Of
this Office said: "Mr. Moore must have
grated apples on to pumpkin vine."
The apples are called Wolf River.
Who can bring in larger apples?

In Memoriam.

Edward Wendell, the subject Of this
sketch, and who departed this life on
Tuesday, Aug. 25th, was born In New
Castle, In the County Limerick, Ire
land. In the early part Of the year 1871
and was consequently little over
eighty-five years Of age. He was mar
ried to Miss Catbarine O'Sullivan in
London, England, In the year ls49 and
came with her to America In 1852,
forty-four years ago.
Mr.. Wendell was educated in the
City Of Limerick and, showing great
aptitude for mathematics, qualified as
surveyor. He was an employee of the
p. & f. and also OF the A. v. r. II. for
a number of years, and gained the es-
TEEN Of his superiors In office. Twenty.
five years ago, he moved to Reynolds
ville-then in its infancy-and has re-
sided here since then, a respected citi-
zen. He was kind hearted man and
gave literally of his means towards any
charitable or church enterprise brought
to his notice. He walked before the
world in the fear of the Lord, in the
integrity of his conscience, practicing
the precepts OF the Christian religion
to the best Of his ability. His life was
blameless. His bright example of a
life well spent will shed its benign in
fluence upon those who knew and loved
him, and who now cherish his memory
In the silent recesses Of their hearts.
Mr.. Wendell was peaceful citizen, a
good neighbor, kind and loving father
and an affectionate husband. He eleaves
an aged widow, four children and nine
teen grand children to mourn his de-
parture-a loss only to be repaid where
parting is no more. His memory Is en-
twined in the hearts Of sorrowing rela-
tives and sympatbizing friends. He
died in the hope of Il blessed immortal
ity. "Requiem Eternam dond Ell

Good Entertainment.

The entertainment in the opera house
last Thursday evening under the
auspices of the Ladies' Work Society OF
the Presbyterian church, was greeted
with full house and was first class in
every particular. 1t consisted OF reci-
tations, vocal and instrumental music.
The participants on the program were:
Miss Edna A. Vaux, an elocutionist and
singer OF Pittsburg, Mrs. w. G. Bishop
Of Pittsburg, Misses Bell Arnold, Sarah
Corbett, Roberta Ayers, Jennie Waite
and Frank p. Alexander. Miss Vaux

1t, TO entertain an audience in the most
pleasing manner Misses Arnold and
Corbett touch the keys OF a piano to
the satisfaction Of most exact musical
critics Of our town. Miss Waite
delighted the audience with two
splendid recitations. The solos by Miss
Ayers, with cornet accompaniment by
Mr.. Alexander, were we'll received.
Mrs. Bishop, is very sweet singer.

We Observe.

That picnics have been numerous the
past two week.
That too many Reynoldsville boys
smoke cigarettes.
That no man gets rich by sitting
around stores and saloons.
That a good many people try to cover
their own blots with blemishes OF others.
That an echo is the only thing that
can flim-ham woman out OF the last
word.
That there is every reason to believe
the moon is on silver basis. Her change
is all in quarters.
That there are many street corner
philosophers just now busy saving the
country from financial ruin.
That the hand that rocks the cradle
can scare the wits out OF fellow when
1t shakes stick at the chicken in the
garden.
That the sidewalks on the Fifth street
side Of the Seeley, Alexander & Co.
bank and at the east end OF the Main
street iron bridge need immediate at
tention.
That one of the sad things of life is to
see young girl throw her life away by
marrying man to reform him. Not
one in a hundred is made any better by
marriage, though for time there may
be semblance OF reform.

Stepped on to Creased Plank.

The editor of the Volunteer made an
unsuccessful attempt to walk CREASED
plank last Saturday afternoon in the
presence of the crowd that had gather
ed to watch the raising of the flag pole
at the new school building. M. G. Cole
man gave the committee generous
supply OF old butter to grease the butt
end of the pole before it was raised.
The butter was used literally on the
pole and on a plank. After the pole
had been raised the greasy plank was
left on the side of the bank in slanting
position and Mr.. Elliott stepped on the
slippery plank and quicker than you
can say "Jack Robinson" he slid the
full length Of the plank.
