A "Turner" Story,

Very few London dealers indeed are
competent to judge Turner's works
that is, without certified history. A
lady acquaintance of mine had large
picture in her house which she had al
ways regarded as Turner, and, deslr-
ing to sell it, she offered 1t to five or
six of the leading dealers, but not one
of them would buy 1t at any price, as
serting that Turner never saw it and
that it was nothing like his work, and
so on. A few months afterward a doc
ument turned up among her family pa
pers showing that the picture had been
specially painted by Turner for her
husbands father, and in week she
had sold the work for f2,250. The av-
erage dealer is almost frightened to
touch Turner, and you seldom or new
er see one exposed for sale in the gal
leries.-Chambers' Journal.

In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia-Japan
war we had striking example of the ne
cessity for preparation and the early ad-
vantage of those who, so to speak, "have
shingled their roofs in dry weather" The
virtue of preparation has made history
and given to us our greatest men. The
individual as well as the nation should
be prepared for any emergency. Are
you prepared to successfully combat the
first cold you take? A cold can be cured
much more quickly when treated as soon
as it has been contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of colds and it should be kopt at
hand ready for instant use. For sale by

AT the approaching session of the legis-
lature the bill to authorize the publics-
ton of the session laws in a sufficient
number of newspapers in each county,
as is done in New York, will again be
introduced. This measure has the en-
dorsement Of the press and the people all
over the state and is almost certain to be.
come law. The present method of pub
licity of the acts of the General Assembly
is too restricted to satisfy the people who
are affected and they demand the New
York law. With the increasing enact
ment of laws regulating food products,
the dairy and farm, the killing of game
and the catching OF fish, the trespassing
upon lands and similar laws, it is abso-
lutely necessary that efficient publicity
be given so that the people may not be
ignorant of and innocently violate laws
of the Commonwealth Tel
egraph.

Pennsylvania Oil Field.


The Derrick, in its oil report for the
month of November, says:
In the sections producing high grade
oil, which include the petroleum regions
of Pennsylvania, New York, West Vir-
ginis and Southeastern Ohio, there were
6l7 wells completed in November, in
cluding 55 gassers and 100 dry holes,
while the new production amounted to
only 36l5 barrels. This was decline
from October of 81 wells completed and
lS barrels new production, with gain of
three dry holes. The October record was
67S wells completed, S,62S barrels pro-
duction and l75 dry holes and gas wells.
On the last of November the Pennsyl-
vanis oil fields contained 25S rigs and
4S9 drilling wells, which was gain of
nine rigs over the figures for October 81.
The drilling wells we're the same for both
months. Field operations at the close Of
October were composed of 244 rigs and
4S9 wells drilling, which was decline of
81 rigs and IL wells drilling from the fig
ures on September 30. On September 80
the new work under way consisted of
265 rigs aud 500 wells drilling.

Congress in Session.

The present Congress, which met Mon
day for its last session, will haye all its
business to finish by March 3.
The "short session" of a Congress is
often the period of important legislation.
The resumption act was passed at such
session thirty-two years ago. The revis-
ion of the national bank act was secured
in short session in 1881. The tariff of
1883 was passed at the close of the life of
the Congress which enacted it.
But in each of these cases the previous
election had chosen House opposed to
the party in the majority in the chamber.
The legislation passed had behind it the
pressure exerted by desire to forestall
legislation by the opposing party.
Where no such a motive exists Con-
gress is not apt to pass any new farreach-
ing legislation in ten or eleven weeks,
which is all the time for business the
short session offers. The next House
will be Republican like the present. 1t
will, in all human probability, have the
same Speaker. The same men will have
charge OF the leading committees.
Past experience shows that under these
conditions new legislation or important
measures are not crowded forward. The
issues covered by the railroad rate act
the pure food act aud the meat inspection
act will certainly be untouched. These
measures must have their test. Meas
ures which have come over from the last
session on current issues will be taken
up. but the appropriation bills have a
way of taking great deal of time at the
short session.
President Roosevelt's recommends
tions in his message will receive full
consideration and debate. Bills will be
introduced and pressed. The country
will be educated, agitated and awakened
to new issues and new questions.
This will all bear fruit in the next Con-
gress, Just as the refusal of the Senate e
act in the short session of the last Con-
gress on railroad rebates brought much
more radical act last June than could
have been passed two years ago. This
Congress will debate, so far as any new
issue is concerned, in its short session
The next Congress will act in its long
session.-Phila. Press.

Color and Aroma of Coffee.

There are two things which people
imagine are guides to the goodness Of
coffee which are really of no conse-
quence whatever. They are the color
of the decoction and the aroma of the
coffee when ground or as 1t escapes
from the pot in drawing. The color Is
due almost entirely to the roasting.
This is true also Of tea. The finest
coffees and teas, when properly roast
ed and prepared, to give out their
finest flavors will color the water but
little. The real essences which give
the flavor have practically no color.

DR.. David Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is not a disguised enemy of the human
race; where it cannot help, it does not
harm. 1t is composed of vegetable ingre-
dients and does not heat or inhame the
blood but cools and puriies it. In all cases
of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con-
stipation of the Bowels, and the delicate
arrangements which afflict women, the ac-
ton of DIR. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of
grateful people voluntarily testify to this,
in letters to DIR. Kennedy; and with a
warmth and fullness of words which mere
business certificates never possess. It
makes no runkards-excuses no crimes
breaks no hearts. In its coming there is
hope, and in its wings there is healing.

JUST now the dlsgruntled Democratic
and Fusion newspapers are telling their
readers how the awful Republican ma
chine is going to do things at the ap-
preaching session of the legislature.
They pretend to have been taken into the
confidence of the Republican leaders, and
their statements of how this or that man
is to run the Senate and this or that man
the House have all the ear marks of the
political pipe dreams of the campaign.

SOMEBODY advertises "the new apple
butter" a screw must be loose some-
where when an apple crop is said to be
so large that the owners of the orchards
are compelled to sell for less than cost.
With proper management not bushel of
apples would be wasted. But the apple
trust method is to pay miserable pit
tance for the wholesome fruit that every
body wants, and then demand profit of
not less than 200 or 300 per cent.

The Presidents Message.

President Roosevelts annual message
to Congress is full of meat aud good,
sound logic, as usual. Like all his state
papers it is a document of absorbir g in

all the great national issues before the
American people. We give it on the first
page ofthe paper today, and we have no
doubt every subscriber will read it with
profound interest.

A FEW of the figures taken from statis-
tics just completed will serve to show
that the American farmer is away at the
top of the heap in the matter of the value
of his products, which for the year 1906
reached the sum of 1874 .OOO, 900, ex-
ceeding the figures of 1905 by 1886, 900, 900.
Ofgraiu he raised 4,6SS 100000 bushels,
120,000,00O bushels above the output of
last year. From the surplus of his
products he exported $976 10000 worth.
1t was the banner year for exports and
he loaded the ocean fleets with products,
the value of which, 1t is computed, would
be enough to build hgh-class railroad
half way around the earth. He secured
national credit in the worlds balance
sheet in favor of this nation of S433, ,000,-
900. Other American producers, all told,
got credit only of 100000. These
are interesting figures. The American
farmer is the greatest producer on earth
and the millions of people whom he feeds
must take off their hats to him, thinks
the Oil City Blizzard.
