Senator SiSSOn.

The Erie Times has these happy
words to say of Senator Sisson, hus-
band of former Miss Lena Spencer,
niece of Mrs. Laura Bryan:
"The people showed their faith in
Senator Sisson yesterday by giving
him the finest kind of an endorsement
in both city and county. He has made
such faithful official in every public
position he has held that our people
could not have thought of doing any
thing else than return him by a rous-
ing majority. OF all the members of
the state senator none stood higher
than did Senator Sisson. He was rec
ognized there as one of the most re-
liable and conscientious as we'll as one
of the most untiring workers During
the term to which he was elected
yesterday the senator will play still
more important part in the legislation
of the state and he will be In a posi-
tion to accomplish much more for this
city than during his first term. Erie
could send no better citizen to repre-.
sent her in the senate of Pennsylvania
than A +. Sisson.n

The Emporium EIopers

"Bud" Steele and Mrs L. E. Specht,
who eloped from Emporium one day
last week, were arrested at Harris
burg hotel on Saturday morning at
one o'clock, the deserted husband and
father of the truant wife confronting
them. After the officer took them in
charge, the husband secured 5000 of
the $500 taken, when he told them to
go their way. The above facts are
given us by the husband, who always
provided a good home and appeared
to be perfectly happy. The "man in
the case'' is now in Emporium.

EMPORIUM PA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER H. 1904
A Woodchuck's Winter.

The woodchuck always gathers and
stores away food all the spring, sum-
mer and autumn, but he stores it away
in his own body-in other words, he
eats it, says an exchange. And he
eats so moch that by fall he is as fat
as a pig. Then when he has dug for
himself a long winding borrow, and
made at the end of it snug nest of
leavers or grass, all he has to do is to
block the entrance with earth and
leaves and curl up in his bed and sleep
until the spring, when he comes out
little more than bag of bones.

DEATHS DOINGS.

JACKSON

John Jackson, aged 50, died at
Coudersport last Sunday, his remains
being brought to Emporium on Mon
day and placed in Emmanuel Church
Chapel. Services were conducted on
Tuesday by Mr.. Josiah Howard, in the
absence of Rector Robertson. Mr.
Jackson had long been one of our
most respected citizens and Industrious
farmers, residing on Portage. Some
years ago he met with an accident, in
juling his head, that made him a great
charge. In order that he might have
proper care he was taken to Potter
Home. A few days before his death
while walking over the floor he fell, re-
ceiving injuries from which he died.
His wife died about one year ago.

The Christmas Delineator.

The December Delineator, with its
message of good cheer and helpful
ness, will be welcomed to every home.
The fashion pages are unusually at
tractive, illustrating and describing the
very latest modes in way to make their
constitution during the busy festive
season pleasure instead of task, and
the literary and pictorial features are
of rare excellence. A selection of
Love Songs from the Wagner Operas,
Rendered into English by Richard de
Galliene and beautifully illustrated in
colors by J. G. Leyendecker, occupies
a prominent place, and chapter in
the composers Series, relating the
romance of Wagner and Cosima, is an
interesting supplement to the lyrics
A very clever paper entitled '"The
Court Circles of the Republic" des-
cribes some unique phases of Washing
ton social life is from an unnamed con-
tributor, who is said to write from the
inner circles of society. There are
short stories from the pens of F. Hop.
kinson Smith, Robert Grant, Alice
Brown, Mary Stewart Cutting and Ell
more Elliott Peake, and such interest
ing writers as Julia Magruder, L.
Frank Baum and Grace MacGowan
Cooke hold the attention of the child
rem. Many Christmas suggestions are
given in needle work and the cookery
pages are redolent of the Christmas
feast. In addition, there are the reg
ular departments of the magazine
with many special articles on topics
relating to Woman's interests within
and without the home.

Star Course Chart,

The chart for the Star Course serie 8
of entertainments will open at Lloyd's
book store, Tuesday, Nov. 22, at 7 a. m.
Seats will be assigned in the order ap-
piled for, but no person viii! be per-
mitted to reserve more than six seats.
1t will be the purpose of the manage
ment to treat all patrons with equal
snd absolute fairness and the fact that
all seats in the court room are for en-.
tertainment purposes most excellent,
should allay any anxiety lest the &C.
commodation desired be not secured.

HUNTERS SHOULD HEED THE
FOLLOWING GAME LAWS

We may expect to hear of some
wonderful feats coming in from
the mountain such as would fill a big
book with matter calculated to raise
the hair of the weak and swell the
breasts of the brave. There will be
heroes to burn at the close of the sea-
son, doubtless. But, to start with the
hunting will be of the milder sort.
Of course the bear season is always on
but not until the deer can be killed
does the onslaught on bruin start in
real earnest. Below are dates when
game may be killed in Pennsylvania
under the state law:
Wild turkeys, October is to Decem-
her Is.
Quail and partridges, October 10 to
December 10.
Pheasants, ruff grouse and prairie
chicken, October 15 to December Is.
Woodcock, month of July and Octo-
Der is to December is.
Rail and reed bird, September l 10
November 80.
Plover, July 15 to January 1.
Geese and ducks, September to
May 1.
Elk and deer November to 80.
Squirrel, October Is to December 10.
Hare and rabbit, November TO De-
cember 5.
No more than 10 pheasants or ruff
grouse, wild turkeys, 10 woodcock or
8 quail must be killed by one person in
one day and no more than two deer in
one year. Killing. wounding or TAX
ing any game birds or animals with
trap, net, snare, bird line, poison or
drugs is prohibited. The use of fer
rets in hunting game is prohibited.
Deer must not be hunted with dogs or
in the waters of any stream or pond,
under penalty of 500 for each offense.
Sunday hunting is prohibited.

Liberal Advertising.
How 1T MADE BUSY MART OF A
GRAVEYARD CORNER.

How 1T MADE A BUSY MART OF A
GRAVEYARD CORNER.
Plenty of thinking business men who
read ofthe successes of merchants in
cities realize that the foundation of
every successful merchandising prof.
ect is printers ink. Yet these same
business men-many of them-fail to
grasp the idea sufficiently to benefit
themselves. They either cannot write
an advertisement or think they can't,
or else they lack the nerve to invest
the money in newspaper space, circu-
lars and other printed matter and are
unwilling to wait the results that are
sure to follow persistent and consist
ent advertising methods.
We find in nearly every village plen-
ty of business men who are willing to
invest in all sorts of outside specula-
tions. They will take throw at far
away mining ventures and stock spec
ulations. Promoters find it easy to in
terest them in most any kind of a
speculation that figures out profit on
paper. Yet these same business men
will refuse to invest more than $50,
500 or possibly $500 yearly in print
er's ink. Many of them never spend
dollar in advertising, yet they should
realize that there is no way in which
they might invest money to yield a
greater profit and no way more GER
tain to make money that to invest it
in newspaper space and other plans OF
legitimate publicity wherein printers
ink is employed.
These things are frequently brought
home to US, and in no way has the
success of business been so forcibly
demonstrated to a community by the
iudicious and liberal use of printers
ink than in the upbuilding and success.
