An order TO all railroad conductors
of the p. r. R., dated February 2, has
gone into effect, and the result of 1t is al
ready being noticed in this section of the

by most travellers who do not think the
whole train is being run for their espec-

AN oil deal os considerable import
ance was closed here last Thursday when
Mr.. and Mrs. G. K. Gerow and Robert A.
Fulton purchased the one-fourth interest
of A. f. Ledebur and the one-eighth in
terest of Herman Blum in the Willard

Warren county. The owners of the
balance of the lease are also residents of
Tionesta and vicinity. 1t contains 10
acres, on which there are 16 wells with

The Dunn & Fulton drug store had
a narrow escape from fire about six
o'clock Monday evening. A bottle COP
tanning crystalized carbolic acid had been
placed in pan of water on the hot plate,
to melt the stuff down. The pan boiled
dry, the bottle broke and the acid caught
fire. Robert Fulton grabbed the pan to
throw 1t out doors and just about that
time the stuff exploded. He hung onto
the pan however and got it out the back
door before any serious damage was done
10 himself or the building. The build
Ing was slightly scorched near the back
door, but little water put out the fire.
The enterprising Philadeldhia In
luirer has taken exception to Chicago's
,laim that the Windy City possesses the
most beautiful women in America, and
proposes 10 find a handsomer women
within the confines of the Keystone state.
The Chicago beauty was found, after
spirited contest, to he Miss Della Carson,
4 Chicago stenogrupher, and while she
s said to be very beautiful, the Inquirer
s sure that Pennsylvania can beat them
Ill in that line. So il you have beautiful
ady friend whom you would like to see
lonored in this distinguished contest
lend her photograph to the Inquirer.
We'd liketo see some fair Forest county
lamsel win this distinction, and verify
believe she can be found within our bor-
lers.

Young men, the first question your
Employers ask themselves when business |
becomes slack and it is thought necessary |
o economize in the matter of salaries is,
Who can best be spared?" The barna-
les, the shirks, the makeshifts, some-
'ody's proteges, somebody's nephews,
nd especially somebody's good-for
Iothing. Young men, please remember
hat these are not the ones who are called
or when responsible positions are to be
lied. Would you like to gauge your
wn future for position of prominence?
Would you like to know the probabili-
les of your getting such position? In
uire within! What are you doing to
make yourself valuable in the position
'ou now occupy? If you are doing with
our might what your hands find to do,
he chances are two 10 one that you will
oon become so valuable in that position
hat you cannot be spared from it, and
hen, singular to relate, will be the very
ime when you will be sought out for
for better place.
