The Kittanning Tribune wisely re-
marks; "People who turn up their noses
at the county school forget that while
such school may lack the facilities of the
town school, the boy is getting an educa-
ton in natures studies which far more
than makes up for the superior opportu-
mites given by the town school," Keep
this in mind, dear pupil.

West Sunville, Butler county yesterday.
During his stay in Tionesta Mr.. S. has
made many friends by his genality, not

the cracking of fire in hemlock

The "sitting waltz" is the newest fad,
and will doubtless become quite popular
wherever introduced. The following
diagram of the new-fangled hilarity is
handed us for publication, but we're not
going to say whether by male or female:
The young people who indulge in the
giddy mazes of the waltz will hear with
interest that the heads of Washington
and New York society have declared
that "sitting out" waltz will be more
fashionable from now on than dancing.
The 'sitting out" embodies the some po-
sition as dancing-the only difference is
that you sit instead of dance. The mans
right arm is around the girls waist, while
his left hand holds her right. Her left
hand is placed on his shoulder, while her
head rests lovingly on his bosom, and all
they have to do is 10 sit and listen to the
music. Now that is something like it. A
whole roomful of people sitting around
on sofas, hugging to music, would be
great" and not only so but this arrange
ment would give the old rheumatic
brethren another good chance to waltz.
And while many man may loose. his
appetite for dancing, he has to get power
ful old before he loses his appetite for
that kind of a waltz
