CURRENT COMMENT.

Scranton Republican,: A mans
neighbor are theone's best able to judge
as to his traits of character. That be-
ing the case, it is a strong point in
favor of J. Lee Plummer that the peo.
pie OF his home speak so well of him.
Bloomsbury Republicans; "The bit
ter attacks on J. Lee Plummer's pri-
vate life and character have reacted
and everywhere voters are lining up
to give him majority on the seventh
of November that will make these
character assassins run to their "holes
and pull their holes in after them"

PATRONIZE HOME TRADERS
AND BOOM YOUR TOWN.
Some Reasons Why Such Practice
Should Obtain

A small group of Meadville men
were discussing the subject last evening
of patronizing home industries, and
although all were agreed that this is
an important essential of the building
up of a prosperous community, they
were equally agreed that great many
people who preach that sort of thing
do not always practice it, The Mead
vile merchant, who erects buildings,
gives employment to home people,
pays taxes here and in other ways
helps to support the city, is entitled to
the patronage of Meadville people, par
ticularly when we have such stores as
this city boasts. The same rules apply
to every line of business, as well as to
employment. Local business men are
entitled to local patronage, and local
workmen are entitled to first choice in
the employment to be had here. The
home dealer, manufacturer, or what
ever his business may be, and the home
toiler as we'll, is entitled to the home
patronage, and people who send their
money out of town or spend it with
travelling concerns, hawkers and ped
dlers, who have no interest in the city,
except to get what they can out of it,
cannot claim the same loyalty to their
neighbors that they expect and usually
demand for themselves. If every man
and women in Meadville would patron
ize home enterprises whenever they
can get as good goods at as fair prices,
or as good work for as little money,
good many thousands of dollars that
now go out of town every year, and
never come back, would remain right
here in Meadville and help to make
times better in our own city. Mead

Too many sermons are aimed at the
pocketbooks of the congregation.

VANISHING JACKALS.
Instinct Enables the Animals 10
Make Themselves Invisible.

Instinct Enables the Animals 10
Make Themselves Invisible.
Marvelously successful in Its WORK
Ing Is the natural instinct which tclls
the jackal how to efface itself from
sight when danger threatens. You may
accidentally surprise half dozen OF
the gaunt, gray-brown beasts trotting
across the open between patches or
jungle scrub in the east, but at that
very instant they cease to be there.
They are as large as fair sized dogs
and the dry ground, though rough, Is
clear, but you may rub your eyes ana
look-there is not a sign Of a single
jackal where a moment ago you saw
pack. If you draw close they will be
obliged to rise and scatter for shelter,
but from where you stand the illusion
is complete. The jackals have become
part Of the surface of the bare brown
ground.
This miracle is achieved by the pecul-
lar adaptation of their coloring to that
of the surface of the sun baked soil.
Ages Of evolution have brought about
this perfect accord between the jack
ais habits to its surroundings. After
the rains In India, when lush green
vegetation springs up everywhere and
food abounds in it, the jackals need
never show themselves out Of cover,
but in the hot weather. when the land
is blistered brown, the jackals must
often wander far into the open to be
early at the feast upon the starveling
goat that has died on the dusty track to
the village.
There the matter might end, save
that sometimes, from the fiendish clam
or which the jackals make at night
when the heat renders sleep almost i'm
possible, you are tempted to teach them
to give your tent or bungalow wider
berth on their way to and from their
feeding grounds.
This may have been the feeling Of a
man who was camped out in the jungle
on business Of the government Of In
dia as he sat at his tent door, rifle in
hand, scanning the dry slope Of stunt
ed brown scrub. Sometimes be saw
one fit like a shadow from cover to
cover, but whenever he used his field
glasses or half raised his rifle there
was not a sign Of life or movement
anywhere.
So dusk fell, and another sleepless
night followed-not solely caused by
the jackals, for the carelessness of the
native servants in cooking their meal
in the dry stream bed below had set
the hillside scrub. classed as govern
ment forest in his map, on fire.
On the following afternoon, when his
solitary days work was done, he sat
again at his tent door opposite the
brown slope, with its new disfguring
splash Of black marking the scene Of
the confiagration. Presently, almost as
conspicuous as black beetle on white
tablecloth, gray-brown jackal furtive-
ly trotted on to the blackened ground.
At the movement of the arm which
raised the rifle the jackal instantane-
Ously crouched to the black surface
and there, silhouetted distinctly, it lay
motionless until the rifle spoke, when
it kicked once and died. A second came
with like result, except that it did not
even kick once, but the third struggled
over and over and needed a second
shot to finish it.-London Answers.

FROM NORTHWEST PAPERS
Old Man Proves Up.

One of the most peculiar incidents
which has ever occurred in the con-
nection with land office in Baker
county was tine making of proof yes
terday before County Clerk A. B.
Combs, Jr., by the Rev. Mr.. Hixson, OF
his homestead. This homesteader is
Sc years of age and is the Oldest man
to make homestead proof on record in
the county, so far as known at the
present writing Mr.. HiXsOn and his
wife live on the property and have
lived there for a great many years.
The reverend gentleman has been a
resident of Baker county for 80 years
and might properly be called pio-
neer. He has been preaching since ne
was Is years old. Mr.. Hixson and wife
have raised a large family but all the
sons and daughters have left the pa
rental roof and now the old couple are
living alone on the homestead, fitting
rounding out of a full life and reap
ing some of the tragedies Of life, hav-
ing enjoyed many of it's pleasantries.

How to Cook Rice.

Physicians and others who have eat
en- rice cooked by a Hindoo, a China
man or southern darky must have re-
marked the difference between the re-
suits obtained by these artists and
those Of the benighted cooks of the
north. We learn from an authoritative
source that the secret lies in the fol-
lowing recipe: The rice should be care
fully washed and placed in a kettle Of
boiling water, which should be set on
the back Of the range over low fire,
where the rice should simmer slowly
until done. Stirring is not only use
less, but harmful. II there is any wa
ter left it should be drained off care
fully, and the rice should then stand
in a hot place for some time. Nothing
should be added during the cooking
no salt, sugar, milk or butter. If the
cooking has been done properly each
grain Of rice will stand out by itself,
plump, dry and beautiful. Served very
hot at the table, the rice should then be
reverently treated with cayenne pep
per and butter.-Medical Journal.

According to a celebrated health ex-

the man who wishes to keep hts brain

give the same In less proportion and
are eaten by all men whose living de-

The Secret Of HAPPINESS.

The man who can drill his thoughts
so as to shut out everything that is de-
pressing and discouraging and see only
the bright side even Of his misfortunes
and failures has mastered the secret of
happiness and success. He has made
himself a magnet to draw friends,
cheer, brightness and good fortune to
him. Every one Is pleased to see him.
His presence is like a sunbeam on q
dull day.
There Is no accomplishment, no touch
Of culture, no gift, which will add so
much to the alchemic power Of life as
the optimistic habit-the determination
to be cheerful and happy no matter
what comes to u. It will smooth rough
paths, light up gloomy places and melt
away obstacles as the sunshine melts
snow on the mountain side-O. 8. Mar

His Best Crop.

Hugh Walker was in town yester-
day from mis- farm two miles east of
Helix. From a field of Sc acres the
yield was 1853 sacks, little over so
bushels per acre. Mr.. Walker expects
other portions of his field to turn out
nearly as we'll, and says this years
crop is the best he ever raised. The
crop is from land that was reseeded
this spring as the result of the fall
sown grain having frozen out last
winter John Walkers wheat crop
averaged 81 1-3 bushels per acre.

Timber Fires In Union.

Heavy timber fires have been raging
on the head of Little creek in the High
valley section this week and four saw
mills have been in danger therefrom.
The fire started from a homesteaders
claim, where the fire was set out to
burn a clearing and got beyond con-
troll. Mill and timber men have been
fighting gre this week, but it is a hard
proposition. Fire is also reported on
Catherine creek.-Union Republican.
