When Col, Theodore Roosevelt was in
jamestown the day before the election,
he learned that one of the Rough Riders,
who lives in that place, was in all impov-
erished condition and very sick. The
Colonel promptly made out fine large
check, which he presented to the soldier
with the understanding that nothing was
to be said about the donation until after the
election. The act in itself was sufficient
to show what kind of a man was elected
as New York's governor.-Ex
Learn to laugh, not giggle; a hearty
laugh is better than medicine. A well

good in the town you live in, pull out
and leave, and the people will thank you

ants, which promised to be unusually
plenty, can not be found in their usual
haunts, but it is possible that they are
yet on top Of the mountains where they
can feed on huckleberries. Squirrels are
unusually scarce while rabbits are equal
ly hard to find. Nearly everybody is out
for deer now but so far we have not heard
of any "big catches"
The latest invention is pipe line made
of glass. The glass manufacturing firm
whose plant is located at Port Allegheny,
Mexican county, is preparing to make
