AccidentIy Killed.

Last Tuesday afternoon, about two
o'clock, Karl L., aged twelve years, son
of G. w. Barr, who resides near Sterl-
ing Run, was sitting in the kitchen at
home, cleaning his revolver. After
completing his work he placed the
weapon in his hip pocket and walked
out of the house. In very short space
of time his mother heard the repert of
a revolver and upon going to the door
discovered the boy lying upon the
ground with a bullet in his head, be-
hind the right ear. 1t is supposed the
boy fell, discharging the revolver. His
funeral took place at Emporium this
morning, services being held in M. E.
church.

TRAVELLING GROCERY AGENTS
CROWDED OUT.

A Case Decided In Sunbury, Pa, Last Week
Which Is of the Utmost Interest to Retail
Merchants Everywhere. Travelling Agents
of an Ohio Grocery House who Sold Goods to
Consumers Direct Arrested for Violating the
Act Prohibiting PeddIing.
Grocers' World.
A case was decided by the Common
Pleas Court at Sunbury, Pa, last week,
which is of the most vital interest to
every retail grocer in the State of
Pennsylvania, as the decision gives
them protection against the large
wholesale-retailer of other States, who
sells goods to consumers by agents
and through samples.
The case was brought by the Sun
bury chief of police against George w.
Hance and Henry Keith, travelling
agents of the "Citizens' Wholesale Sup
ply Co." of Columbus, o., who were
charged with violating the special Act
of Assembly of 1851, which imposes a
fine of $50 on ''any person or persons
selling or exposing for sale, as a
hawker, peddler or travelling merchant,
any foreign goods, wares or merchan-
disc not Of their own manufacture"
The agents of the "Citizens' Whole
sale Supply Co.," sold goods direct to
Sunbury consumers. During the
month of August they solicited orders
for coffee, sugar, tea, spices, flavoring
extracts and other goods. The goods
were received by the agents in bulk
from Columbus. They took them to q
hotel, opened the boxes and barrels,
and then distributed them in small
amounts to the various customers. AS
the goods were delivered to the agent
and in turn by them to the customer,
the contention of the Commonwealth
was that the original package had
been broken and there was violation
of the law. Hance and Keith were
therefore arrested.
When the case came before the court
the defendants claimed protection
under the interstate commerce law of
the United States, which allows, they
claimed, the sale of such goods when
the consignment is made directly from
the manufacturer to the purchaser.
The jury, after hearing the evidence,
brought in verdict of guilty. The
defendants attorneys Immediately
moved for new trial. The question,
whether or not it will be granted, will
be determined at the next argument

has been raised in this form for many
years, and it's outcome will be eagerly
watched by the legitimate retail trade

Grace Ramsey Sane.

Mrs. Grace Ramsey, the unfortunate
Williamsport young woman who, while
insane, killed her husband in their
apartment at the Garden Hotel, New
York city, has recovered her reason
with the birth of her child, which
occurred Monday in the New York
State Asylum at Mattewan, where the
criminal insane are imprisoned. Now
that the child, girl, has been born, a
more difficult task than herphysician's
is, may not be imagined. She is to
learn that she was in an asylum for the
criminal insane, and not realize at
once that her husbands death was by
her hand. He was Harvey Ramsey,
assistant treasurer at Madison Square
Garden. They lived in the Garden
hotel, and were very happy. She cut
his throat with razor on June 23rd,
while he was asleep. She replied, 81
wanted to see the color of his blood, "
or 81 wanted to prevent him from
snoring" to all the sad questions that
were put to her, and laughed or gazed
into vacancy. The physicians said that
the act was that of a woman insane in
the mystery of motherhood, and that
she would not have the memory of it
at the return of reason to her. She is
to be released. Her relatives and
friends are in the gloom of the grief
that is to be hers inevitably. Her
mother was at her bedside. The young
woman was quiet, but melancholy.
DR.. II. f. Allison said: "Her reason
returns, but not instantly. 1t is a long
painful phase" The child, in charge
of Matron Hess, is healthy, yivacious
and intelligent.

How Bald Eagle Farmers Craze Cattle
i'm Summer.

For several days this week the far
mers of Bald Eagle valley have been
busy with their annual Ground up' of
cattle in the 'Scootac region. Every
spring, says the Lock Haven Express,
the farmers drive from 300 to 500 head
of cattle to the 'Scootac woods where
they range in pasture of wild lands
emb racing thousands of acres until
fall, when the Ground up" takes place
and the cattle are driven to the farms
to be wintered. Yesterday eighteen
men mounted on the best horses in the
valley, together with number of men
on foot, were collecting the cattle.
1t is difficult matter to bring the
cattle out of the woods, as many of
the steers are as wild as deer. The
horsemen go dashing through the
woods in COW boy fashion until finally
the herd is brought to an opening in
the woods. From there the cattle are
taken to the nearest farm where each
farmer picks out his own stock from
the big herd and drives them home.
Every farmer has his cattle marked in
some way, mostly by brass tags affixed
to the left ear of the steer. The largest
number of cattle in the herd owned by
one one man this year was seventy-two
head. Grazing cattle in the 'Scootac
woods is profitable for the farmer.
The man who owned the seventy-two
head estimates that his clear profit by
the summers grazing is seven hundred
dollars.

Gospel Truth.

The following article which is taken
from the Oil City Blizzard is the expert
ence of all newspaper men: 'Just fix
it up,-you know what is wanted"
Every newspaper writer will recognize
this old timer for he has heard it so
often as to be perfectly familiar with it.
1t is an invitation to do some work ,and
the implied jolly is intended as kind
Of beguilder. The person who wants
an obituary written, with his initials
signed, will thus ask the newspaper
man to do the work; the church con-
cert women; the parties who have had
a wedding or funeral in the family;
the milliner, who wants puff written;
the lodge committee, appointed to
draft resolutions to the memory of the
deceased brother; the committee ap-
pointed to draw up constitution and
by-laws-these and thousands of
others utilize this method in shifting
work upon the STOPPING shoulders of
the newspaper man. In public meet
ings he is usually selected as secretary
because the secretary generally has all
the work to do, and gets nothing for
doing it. If posters, hand-bills or any
thing of that nature is to be prepared
the newspaper man is called upon to
do it. Thus it comes about that he is
kept reasonably busy, but as that is
what he is here for he probably ought
not to file an objection. Still there is
no case on record where newspaper
man was even thanked for this kind of
work, though it is his profession, and
he tries to make a living out of it,
| The person who goes to an attorney
for ten line affidavit or any other
legal document always expects to pay
him two, three or five dollars for it. If

and he does not work at it simply for
the fun of the thing. People who
think he feels puffed up when they say
''you know just what is wanted" over
rate his igotism and underestimate his
common sense.
Don't get big-headed, my friend;
don't swell up at every little thing you
do and imagine you are the whole
this; this world can get along without
you the same as it gets along with you.
If taken suddenly out of it your rela-
tives and friends may mourn tor a
time, but the world, bless you, will
never slip cog, and the sun will rise
and set the day after your death just as
it did the day before your death. We
