"A partial eclipse of the moon was
scheduled TO take place Monday night,
and while the show was not visible in
this country 1t no doubt was pulled off
somewhere on 'tother side of the ball. A
total eclipse of the sun Is booked for Au-
gust 30, which will be visible in the east
ern half Of the United States, so said,
and If it's clear day we may get fair
"run for our money" but in order to
make sure of il you should emulate the
example ofthe purse-proud people who
will go to Labrador, where they say the
big event is sure to be visible, rain or
shine. Being trife short on "time' we
can't go.
Many woman if she we're put to it,
could undoubtedly succeed in spending
1000 in minute, but only one so far as
is known, can count this amount in the
same time and do it right along for a
living. She can be seen any day at Uncle
Sans financial headquarters at Wash
ington. She is the expert counter of the
bureau of printing and engraving, ard
the way she makes money fly through
her fingers is something that would put
the most lavish and reckless millionaire
in the world to blush. She has held her
position for the last eight and half years
in which time she has counted five billion
dollars without single error.
Some man who seems to have had
experience and to know what he is talk
ing about contributes the following: "If
the farmers Of the country who own
worthless dogs-curs without any breed
ing-could be induced to destroy them,
and substitute one well-bred shepherd
pup, not more, to each farm, the wealth
of every farming community would be
vastly increased in many ways. Farm
ers soon find the collies saving them
OF m
learn, willing to do anything within his
power, the young dog needs only wise
and patient restraint and intelligent di-
lection to become one of the most useful
hands on the place."
L. II. Mensch, of Marlenville, whose
serious injury by being hit on the left
cheek bone by base ball was mentioned
in the REPUBLICAN last week, was oper-
ated upon at the West Penn hospital,
Pittsburg, by DR.. MacFarland, next day
after the accident happened. An ncision
of more than two inches was made, and
the bone, which was crushed in, was
raised and eleven stitches inserted to
hold the bone to its proper place. Several
of the smaller bones Of the face were also
broken, but it is hoped these will not
give him any serious trouble. The oper-
alton is said to have been successful, and
the Disagreement, if any, will be but
slight He will be confined to his home
for some days yet.
Albert Bean, of Trunkeyville, had a
narrow escape from being bitten by a
rattlesnake on Friday night. He noted
that his chickens in his potato patch acted
queerly when near a certain portion of
the field, craning their necks and giving
vent to cries of alarm and anger, but paid
no special attention to their antics. There
was bright moon on Friday, and as he
was passing through the patch he felt
something strike his leg, and found that
a ratter had sunk its fangs into the bot
tom of his trousers. He tried to jerk
away from the snake, but its fangs were
fast in the cloth. He started to run and
this jerked the poisonous teeth out of the
reptiles head, and he went one way and
the snake another.
-Emmet Wood, of Ioleta, Pa, is under
treatment at the Oil City hospital for a
punctured lung. He was employed at
sawmill at that place and operating an
edging machine. A slab caught in the
saw and was thrown back with great
81 on ri inp hi f,, hn 10
and fracturing rib, the broken end of
which was forced into his lung. In
short time the escaping air filled the tis-
sues of his body and he pufied out to an
enormous size. DR.. j. j. Brewer, of Clar-
ington, attended Kim and then took
him to Oil City, where he would have
the benefit of the skilled nursing, for
which that institution is noted. DR.. j.
B. Siggins is treating him while there and
believes that he will recover.
