II Was Too Mech.

The man of the Future sat back at ease
in his luxurious armchair, his feet
arranged before him along the lines of
least resistance.
At his elbow was keyboard that con-
nected him with the outer world.
He touched button, and through a
gold-mourted transmitter was thrust
his morning paper. He touched another
and tray containing his breakfast rose
before him.
1t seemed an easy thing to do. He chad
but to lift his finger.
A photograph began calling off the
opening of the stock market. A piano
attachment gave out the strains of the
latest opera. Three friends in distant
parts of the empire babe him good morn
ing, and communicated some piece of
gossip i'll response to his inquiry. He
talked with the manager of his office,
with his tailor, his airship maker, his
architect.
With him it was indeed a busy day.
Finally his head sank back. He was
overcome by the unusual excrtion. He
looked worried
His wife entered.
What is the matter. dear?" she said.
Isn't everything all right"
"No," replied the Man of the Future,

The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased To play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made and praise is given,
by all things near and far:
The ocean lOuketh up To heaven
And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the strand.
As kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowling 10 the sand,
The priesthood uf the sea!
They pour their glittering treasures
forth.
Their gifts of pearl they bring.
And all The listening hills OF Garth
Take UP the song they sing.
Tn" green earth sends her incense up
From many Il mountain shrine
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her Sacred wine
The mists above the morning rills

The altar curtains 81 the hills
Arc sunsets purple air.
tt" Winds with hymns of praise are
Loud
Or low with sobs of pain
The thunder organ of the cloud.
The dropping tears OF rain.
With dropping head and branches cross

The twilight forest grieves.
Or speaks with tongues of Pentccost
From al its sunlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temples arch,
Its tranSrpt. earth and air,
The music of its starry march
The chorus of a prayer.
So Nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began.
And all her signs and voices shame

Proposed Game Law Changes.

The State game commission, body
which seems to take upon itself the
doubtful duty of trying to fix up, or mix
up, the game laws so as to best please the
middle and eastern portions of the Com
monwealth, without reference to that vast
section comprising the northern and
western counties, has promulgated the
following amendments which it is pro-
posed 10 make to the game laws. Some
of the provisions are all right, notably
those that seek to restrict the amount of
game which any one person shall take in
a season: First. That there shall be no
gun used to kill or to assist in killing
deer, that propels more than one metal
bullet or pellet at any one shot from a
gun, or any one discharge of powder.
Second: That the season for killing deer,
hare, rabbit, pheasant, grouse, wood
cock and quail shall open at same date of
same month at each year. Third: That
no one person or persons shall kill or as
sist in killing more than one deer in any
one lawful season. Fourth: That no
one person or persons shall kill or have
in his possession more than 20 pheasants,
grouse, woodcock, or quail each in one
lawful season. Fifth: That there be a
liberal bounty for each and every weasel,
hawk and owl killed in the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania TO b paid by the
township in which said weasel, hawk
aud owl are killed.

Indian Pilots Skeleton.

A few weeks ago the Derrick published
some "reminiscences given by Charles j.
Matson, the veteran conductor of the Erie
railroad, regarding bis early numbering
experiences in Chautauqua county that
seem TO have attracted widespread atten-
or at that time than now, frequently as
sisted in floating RATS from his fathers
sswmill on Lake Chautauqua down the
outlets of that body of water to the Allie
gheny river at Warren and from. there to
Pittsburg and Cincinnati. Part of his
recital was the death of an Indian pilot
who announced that he was going to have
a drink of whisky if he went to hades for
it. He stepped off OF the raft into clear
space of water, which in the darkness he
supposed was part of another raft, and
the body went under the acres of RATS
that were tied up for the night in Moran's
eddy, now inside the limits of Oil City.
Another interesting chapter was added
to Mr.. Moran's story by j. w. Cox, a
well-known resident of Seneca, Cranber-
ry township. Mr.. Cox is 75 years of age
and is retired riverman. He recalls
vividly the incidents of the death of the
Indian pilot and from his diary fixes the
date as 1855. Mr.. Cox recovered the body
OF the dead pilot in May of that year near
Falling Springs and there was an inquest
by the coroner. The body was buried
near where it was found. Afterwards it
was exhumed by DR.. Adair, who was
then practicing medicine and surgery at
Emlenton. The doctor artculated the
bones and for years had the skeleton so
arranged in a small closet that it would
drop down in front OF anyone opening the
door of the receptacle in which it was
placed. For years it was a source OF
gruesome awe to the superstitious people
OF that section of the county.

Fire at Tarkill.

The boarding house connected with the
Osgood IL Jameson lumber operations at
Tarkill run, about seven miles east of
Oil City, was burned to the ground at an
early hour last Saturday morning. The
contlagration is supposed to have been
caused by escaping gas near the stoye,
and was not discovered until the building
was well enveoped in flames, making it
impossible to save it. By lively work
most of the contents of the building were
saved. There was no insurance, and the
loss will be about s6OO Sleeping in the
house we're 35 or 40 men, besides the
proprietor, Reuben Kightlinger and his
family. There were five dogs in kennels
underneath the boarding house and three
of them escaped, but the other two were
burned to death. The cries of the suffer-
ing animals were so pitiful that several
of the men risk ed their own lives to res
cue the animals from torment. The men
are given temporary quarters among the
residents of that neighborhood.
The fire calls attention to the large
number of men employed by this
firm, says the Derrick. The general i'm
preston is that that portion of Venango
county has long since been denuded Of
its hardwood timber. This firm on Sat-
urday alone sent ,l75 hardwood ties into
Oil City to be shipped to other points and
in addition to the shipment of ties 1t sent
over 5000 feet of whiteoak timber here on
Saturday. 1t has standing order to
ship four or five cars daily and it is fill
ing it's contracts.
