A conductor on the Wolf Creek
branch of the Pennsylvania is the prize
turtle catcher Of Western Pennsylvania.
AS the story goes, he caught turtle
the other day in the Neshannock creek,
that weighed trifie over 49 pounds. He
had little spare time at Leesburg the
other day and decided to throw in line
and try to catch a fish or two Soon
after he had thrown the line in the
turtle grabbed the bait and then the
struggle began. He found it impossible
to land the big fellow so he tied the line
TO a tree and shot off the turtles head.
Evidently mistaking hailstones for

water in its craw. The ducks, which
had remained in the shelter of barn
during heavy hailstorm. rushed out
when the storm was over and were seen

rapidly eating the icy Jumps. Soon they
began to stand on one foot and then on

A Home for Grass Widows.

County Commissioners Shaner and
Lamberton appear TO have had pleas
ant and instructive time at the state
convention up In Erie. On an attempt
ed interview with the board, we find
them non. committal on the important
measure recently suggested by Whistler,
OF the Mercer Press, namely, the passage
OF an act appropriating $50, 600 to build
a home for grass widows in the counties
OF Mercer, Crawford and venango. In
view OF the epidemic of divorces In
these counties. there Is room for the
commonwealth 10 do something, IL Car
negie or Rockefeller decline TO come TO
the rescue. Il agree with Governor
Pennypacker. said Mr. Shaner, that
there ought TO be radical reforms In d.
vorce legislation. In the meantime
some provision for the lady Divorces
might be made. My Eeart is with all
widows, grass or sod. But / cant see
my way clear to support the Whistler
measure. Suppose we had all these
worthy ladies housed in u county re-

follows: 'The horse racing was excep-

not much stock shown, but there never
was finer display of gambling appara-
tus. There were wheels of fortune,
paddle wheels. chuck-a-luck layouts, the
old army game, the pin game. soap
game, pool selling and every other old
game. There were very few vegeta-
bles. but plenty of greenies to stack mp
against the games. 1t required a very
small building for the art and science
exhibit. but whole field for the gam
'blers. Farm implements were not in
evidence to any great extent, but II
there is any device for skinning the
