Land transfer has lost great deal
Of the simplicity which characterized
the operation in the olden time. The
pleasant land of BOSNIAN, in Sussex,
once belonged to the archbishop Of
Canterbury, but was much coveted
by Earl Goodwin, supporter Of the last
Of the Saxon kings, whose treasury
was unfortunately too empty to pur-
chase it.. He obtained the place by a
novel system of land transfer. His
lordship attended great ceremony in
the archbishop's cathedral, followed by
his retainers, and, according to- time
honored custom, said to his grace, "Da
mihi basium," meaning, ".Give me the
kiss OF peace" only instead Of saying
"basium' he ingeniously substituted
the provincial pronunciation of b.
sham. The archbishop gracefully re-
piled, '''Do tibi basium,'' which, being
interpreted, is, II give thee the kiss"
which he did. But Goodwin cried, "Thou
hast given, me Boshamy' to which all
his retainers.~ cried, "'Why, cert'nlyr'
And the whole crew at once rode off
to take possession of the pleasant .Sus-
sex territory. s" The archbishop could
not help himself and allowed the trans
fer to 60 The law has greatly com.
dictated matters since then - -

King Louis and the Forest.

King Louis and the Forest.
Louis XIV. once. remarked fmpa-
tiently in the hearing of the Duke
d'Antin, superintendent 6f the royal
buildings, that he hoped that at some
time a forest which he had always dis
liked because it INSTRUCTED one of his
favorite views would be cut down. I'm
known to the king, Duke d'Antin had
the trunks Of all the trees In the OBJ
jectionable forest sawed through in
such way. that they still stood,
though slight pull would bring them
+ down. He removed every evidence of
the work and fastened ropes to the
tops of the trees and concealed more
than 1000 men in the forest to man.
age the ropes at signal from him.
The duke knew on what day the king
would walk in the wood and planned
the work accordingly. The king took
his accustomed promenade, and, as
usual, expressed his sentiments about
the hated forest "Your majesty, the
forest shall be removed whenever you
like" said d'Antip. Indeed" said the
king, ''then 1 wish that it might be
done at once" At that moment DAN
tin blew shrill blast from a whistle,
and to the utter amazement Of the
king and the royal party the forest fell
as if by enchantment

Ampere and the Donkey,


The elder Ampere, for a time pro-
fessor in the College Of France, was
kind, but hot tempered, and occasional
~ gave way to outbursts of which he
instantly repented. Once at an exam
ination some mistaken response of a
student led him to exclaim, "You are
a donkey!'
The student was as hot blooded as
he. "1t's you who are the donkey"
he shouted back.
By this time Ampere's anger was all
gone, and the: philosopher and gentle
man asserted himself. perhaps it isl
he answered, s''but nevertheless l i'm
agine that ifx4pu begin your demon
stration anew pu will recognize the
fact that you all mistaken
The student I'd commenced his demon
stration,' discov bred his mistakes and
acknowledged that he was wrong.
"And now. my dear boy" said the
professor, you see that I am not a
donkey and that you are not one either.

Death of James NJ. Mccullough.

James M. Mccullough was born in
Prospect, Butler county, Pa, and died
in Nebraska, Pa, Nov. %, 1907, aged 81
years and eight months.
After reaching his majority he spent
five years in the west, when he returned
He was united in marriage in August,
1887, to Miss Gertrude Thompson. Their
married life was most pleasant and her
death thirteen years ago was a blow he
keenly felt. For the sake of his children
he took up the burdens of life and in a
large degree succeeded in his plans.
About eight years ago he was terribly
burned in gas explosion which caused
him months of the most intense suffering
and from the shock of which he never
entirely recovered. A year ago last Sep
tember his son Ivan was accidentally
killed on the S. & t. Railway and he was
inconsolable. The past year he steadily
declined in health, yet he was able to at
tend to his duties until four weeks ago,
when he sustained fall that hastened the
end. He was not confined to his bed,
dying in his chair, surrounded by his
friends. He united with the NJ. e.
church in Nebraska under the pastorate
of Rev. W. W. Dale and shortly before
his death affirmed his readiness to depart.
He is survived by son, William R.,
and one daughter, Alice E.; also one
brother, Presley Mccullough, of East
Hickory, and sister, Mrs. Lizzie Jones,
of New Bethlehem.
The funeral services were held Sunday
in the church in Nebraska by Rev. w.
o. Calhoun, in the presence of congre-
cation which crowded the ediiice to the
doors, and his body was laid to rest in
Riverside Cemetery in Tionesta beside
the bodies of those he so dearly loved.

Conclusion of Court Business.

The November court in session last
week concluded its business on Friday
evening after short night session.
When our report of the proceedings
closed, the trial of the cause of T. d. Col
Inns VS.. The South Penn Oil Co. was in
progress. After full hearing the jury,
acting under instructions of the court,
rendered verdict for the plaintiff.
The next case taken up was that of G.
w. Robinson VS.. G. II. Lowe. In this
case the jury, after celebrating all of
Thursday afternoon, rendered a verdict
in favor of the defendant. The case in
volved the question Of the defendants s
right to leasehold of land belonging to
the plaintiff and located near the new
oil field on the Mckee farm, on the west
side of the river.
The case of the Enterprise Transit
company VS.. II. d. Collins, involving the
title to lands in Kingsley township, from
which the defendant had taken most of
the timber, was taken up Thursday noon.
Upon hearing the court directed the jury
to find for the defendant in the case.
1t is thought none of these cases will
stop short of the Supreme court.

Gas Explosion Near Nebraska.

On Sunday afternoon Gerard Bingham,
residing in one of the houses that stands
at the lower side OF the road at the water
ing trough half mile below Nebraska,
was very severely burned as the result OF
a gas explosion at his house. He had
gone with his wife and sister, Mrs.
Charles Harrison, to attend the funeral
services of the late Mr.. Mccullough at the
Nebraska church, haying as they sup
posed, first turned off all the gas in the
house. Returning about half past one
o'clock, Mr.. Bingham discovered strong
odor of gas as he opened the door, and
cautioned the women to remain outside
while he investigated. Entering the
house he opened one of the room doors,
when instantly the explosion came, and
so terrific was it that many of the win
dows were blown out sash and all, while
the side walls of the building were so
bulged out that daylight shone through
the four corners of the house. A kitchen
connected with the main part was sepa-
rated several inches from the building.
1
Mr.. Bingham made his escape through
the kitchen door, just how he can hardly
tell, for the whole inside was a mass oi
| flame. He was taken to neighbors,
just across the way, and DR.. Bovard was
summoned by telephone. He found the
unfortunate man seriously burned about
the face, head, wrists and one ankle, the
most exposed parts of his body, and suf
iering great pain. Although the danger
point had not been passed yesterday, the
favorable report which the doctor had
from his patient leads him to believe he
will recover without further complica-
tions, as it was evident he had inhaled
none of the flames.
1t seems the gas leak was caused by q
small rubber hose, with which one of the
stoves was attached, becoming discon.
nected, allowing the gas to escape into
one room, but confined and prevented
from ignition with a jet that had mad.
vertently been left burning in another
room, until Mr.. Bingham opened the
door leading to this room, unaware of the
fact that there was any flame or fire in
the house.
The building took fire but was saved
from burning by the efforts of neighbors,
but not until many of Mr.. Bingmans
household goods were ruined.

First of ..rwenty Questions

Secretary Root is one of the hardes
men in Washington to get news from
when he is not ready to talk, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. No amount of quiz
zing can draw from him information
which he thinks the public should moi
have During the uncertainty regard
ing the successorship to Ambassador
Durand he was constantly besieged fol
news on this point.
One day he cautiously admitted that
the British government had asked If a
certain Englishman would be accept
able to the American government as
successor to Sir Henry.
Cant you tell us his name?" asked
the reporters.
NO" replied Mr.. Root. ''The British
foreign office wants nothing said about
1t at present"
Cant you at least tell US whether
he Is now In the British diplomatic
service?"
NO" said Secretary Root, gravely,
"but l will tell you this. l will tell
you, If you wish, whether he belongs
to the animal, the vegetable or the
mineral kingdom
