james Manross, an old time Forest
oman, who is now living at Gerry, N. Y,
passed through town yesterday morning
being out on few weeks vacation which
he will spend among friends In this Sec
ton. James had with him a clever device
for milking cows, known as the Mehring
machine, which lie says gets the nearest
to perfection in that respect than any
thing yet produced. The machine is
constructed to milk two cows at once,
does the work of about four men and can
be operated by Ii ifteen- year-old boy or
girl as readily as by grown person.
Mr.. Manross is quite enthusiastic in his
praise of the machines efficacy, and it
does look like a complete success.
There is a Dubois man who is Just
too mean for anything. For some un-
accountable reason he has been laboring
under the impression that he is "hen-
pecked," and in order to get little better
usage at the hands of his better half he
developed beautiful plan that worked
all right. The fellow hired six or eight
boys to stand along the walk where he
was going to take his wife for walk the
other night, and when he went past, the
boys all tipped their hats and said:
"Good evening, Mr. Henpeck." 1t cost
him 10 cents piece for the boys, but he
says it worked like charm and the
equal rights question is not being dis
cussed in his home any more. Perhaps
his wife felt sorry for him.-DuBois
Courier.
Nothing could be said in greater
praise of people than that they like
sweets, says writer in "What to Eat"
1t shows a wholesome, vigorous, health
full condition-an appetite not jaded from
excessive indulgence. The child whose
appetite has not become polluted or cal
loused by false relishes, smarting sauces
and burning drinks loves sweets; so does
the girl of bright eyes and untainted
youth, as is evidenced by her fondness
for ice creams and desserts. The young
athlete among men loves sweets nearly
as we'll as does the child But the bar
room lounger, the Cigarette tiend," the
"dope tiend" and the depraved of all
other classes do not like sweets. Long
ago their minds and appetites lost The
desire for everything pleasing to the nat
ursl palate.
For goodness sake don't cut any
weeds that fringe the sidewalks of some
of our streets, as they are about ITO go to
seed" now and there might not be any
crop next year. 1t beats all what an
adornment growth of weeds is anyway,
where they border the sidewalks, and
what striking example they are as an
indication of public improvement. This
from the Sheffield Observer, applies to
more towns than one, our own amongst
the rest. 1t is such small task to run
the lawn mower over these little grass
plots once week, or to NOW the weeds
down with common sickle that it would
seem scarcely necessary to call attention
to the matter. Ordinary pride ought to
appeal to lot owners or residents. And
what fine improvement there W ould be
in the appearance of the town!
On Tuesday night select council re-
fused to confirm the appointment of Pa
trolman r. o. Whitton. Mr.. Whitton is
a man of admirable character and correct
habits and has the judgment and ply
sique necessary to make him valued
addition to the local police force. Some
time ago while working for the city as
policeman, he received a flattering offer
to take job of numbering in West Vir-
ginia and accepted, resigning his position
here. He found that the climate and
conditions of West Virginia were not as
attractive as those of Oil City and re-
turned here and was given his old posi-
tion, subject to the action of councils.
