Twenty years hence the boys of today

Twenty years hence the boys of today
will be men. They will be doctors and
drunkards, lawyers and liars, senators
and sneak thieves, editors and idiots,
ministers and murderers, Republicans
and Democrats, and so on down the line.
1t is impossible to tell to a certainty in
just what class your boy will be. Put
him under such influence as will steer
him in the right direction. Follow the
boys of twelve and In twenty years some
of them Will be in Congress, while others
will be in Jail. Parents, do you know
where your boy is tonight and for what
class he is training?-North East Breeze.
The first troop of mounted state po-
lice to be assembled will be the one to be
commanded by Captain Joseph f. Rob.
inson, and will be assembled either the
present or next week. The troop will be
located at Punxsutawney, which is evil
IDENTIFY destined to be the center of the
bituminous coal region of this state. A
temporary barracks will be erected in
one of tho exposition buildings at Punxy,
and in the meanwhile the men will be
quartered in the town. Superintendent
Groome and Captain Robinson have been
in Dubois and Punxsutawney much of
the time during the past two weeks max
ing arrangements for the assembling of
the company.
The Clearfeld Journal says that
"Nineteen deer is the actual number
killed in this county during the season as
reported to the game warden" That
seems a good many nowadays, but we
can remember, not many years ago, when
more than one thousand deer were slain
in single season in Forest county. Then
the season extended through the months
OF October, November and December,
and hunters came in from other states
and camped in the "big woods" for weeks
at time. It's different now, aud it is
probable that were all the deer in the
county to be brought to one corral hun
dred or two would cover the number.
"How are the mighty fallen"
Heroic measures prevented bad
wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad near
Kane, Pa, on Friday morning. A freight
train broke in two on the steep hill at
Kane and, running backwards at ter
rifle speed, and entirely beyond control,
threatened to collide with westbound
passenger train. A switch engine was
ordered out to run ahead of the oncoming
passenger train. When the crew of the
switch engine sighted the runaway
freight cars coming towards them they
jumped and the switch engine and cars
came into a head-on collision. There
was considerable damage, but the action
prevented worse wreck between the
runaway and the passenger train.
We give the following for what il is
worth: "Coal oil will knock any cold
silly" says c. G. Warren, in the Balti-
more News: "The idea of drinking coal
oil may seem repugnant to some esthetic
tastes, but one teaspoonful will fix the
business for the most stubborn cold in
head or body. Turpentine is another
fine thing for general conditions.
firmly believe that if man will take 10
or 20 drops of turpentine in sugar once
every two months he will never really be
sick. It's an internal Turkish bath in
effect, and leaves the system thoroughly
cleansed and in good shape to take on
new strength. There's no excuse for
cold, and it's dangerous thing to pass
