"A young married couple who went to
a furniture store and bought baby car
riage, taking their little one along and
wheeling it home in the new purchase.
On their way they passed number of
people who first looked at the carriage
and then at the parents, smiled blandly
and appeared greatly amused. This ac-
tion on the part of their friends greatly
annoyed the young married couple, which
was wholly inexplcable uI.til they
reached home. AS the "precious one'
was being taken from the carriage the
eyes of the parents fell on printed card
of the manufacturer on the front of the
vehicle which read, "None better, our
own make"
Pete Karn and Jim Landers Jagged
two extra large wildcats out in the town
ship one day last week. They were the
finest specimens that have been brought
in for many day, and were sent to
Warren taxidermist for mounting. The
largest cat was shot from tree, but the
smaller one was driven into a pile of
rocks by the dogs where the older dog
and the cat got into a lively scrap with
the advantage in favor the cat. Pete is
too thorough a sportsman to allow his
dogs to get disfigured, so he pulled away
rock and reached in and got Mr. Cat by
the nape of the neck, hauled him out and
dispatched him with club. Pete is a
fierce proposition when stacked up ag'in'
a wildcat.
The lumbermen who raft timber on
the Clarion from Spring Creek and Mill
stone townships are now busily engaged
in building their RATS. Ire ice has gone
out and they will soon be ready to float
their timber to Pittsburg on the spring
freshets. The banks of the river are lined
with both round and square sticks of
timber from Arroyo down through Mill
stone township. Timber in that region
is now pretty we'll back from the river,
and on account of the long haul the liber-
eral SHOWS of the past winter have been
wonderful help to the lumbernlen in that
region. Timber is worth good money
now and ready sale, so there will be great
prosperity in that region this year.
Kidgway Advocate.
Farmers in all sections of Peunsyl-
vania, Ohio and West Virginia report
that quail have suffered terribly during
the winter, and that one of the the poorest
seasons in history is certain to result.
Pheasants, rabbits, deer, etc, can forage
for themselves in deep snow and bitter
cold; but the quail, as it must. roost on
the ground, soon becomes helpless and
prey to hawks and other predatory Great
es.-Spectator. Pretty little Bob White
has neither the taste nor inclination to
get up on the top of birch and live on
buds during the cold and snowy season,
and being unable 10 find bare ground
enough to feed upon, soon succumbs TO
the cold on an empty stomach. We hear
of many rabbits, aso being frozen to
death during the past winter, but as a
few of bunny can be spared without be-
ing,noticed. it donest matter so much.
