Model for Rest of the Force.

While Oil City cannot, perhaps,
boast of being strictly cold-water
town, she can, we believe, lay claim
to having among her residents the
champion temperance man of the
state, if not of the entire country.
Not only has he never drank any kind
of spurious or malt liquors, but he
has never allowed any tea, coffee, soup
or any kind of milk to pass his lips
since he was child. He is colored
man, was born in slavery, and because
his father frequently drank more
whisky than was good for him, he re-
solved when boy to never drink any
thing but water. And he has reli-
giously kept the resolution. He is a
member Of the Oil City police force,
and his name Is Major Franklin
Oil City (Pa) Blizzard.

The BRIGHT Firstborn,

They were discussing the law Of en-
tail-the English law bequeathing tho
bulk of the family property to the
eldest son.
There is so per cent. of logic in
that law" said physician. land if the
family property went to the firstborn,
whether son or daughter, the law
would contain 100 per cent. of logic.
For the first born child is practically
always the best-best in brain, in
build, in beauty, in everything.
"Why is this SO? 1t is because mar
ried people love one another more pro-
foundly at the beginning than after
ward; for love. like all things, grows
old, grows weak. often dies.
Mrs. Craigie-John Oliver Hobbies
was first born child. So was Marie
Corelli. So was Richard Mansfield.
So were Joseph Chamberlain, Lord
Kitchener, Max Muller, Henry Irving,
George Meredith.
Look back into the past, and we
see again the prominence of the first
born, among them Mohammed. Con-
fucius, Raphael, Milton, Dante. Goethe,
Byron, Shelly and Heine."

Grieo as a SchooIboy.

he wrote: knowing that by arriving

stand under a dripping roof. until l was

WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found In
the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found
in the Philippines are the Bogobos,
the most picturesque people in the
tropics. Their origin is unknown,
and all sorts of opinions have been
expressed concerning them. One tale
told of them is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians.
and that the dislike for the practical
which is always noticeable among
them has come down through the gen.
erations.
Those that have taught among the
Bogobos say that given a song or
poem to learn and they will study
and dream over it for hours. but give
the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes i'll and
wants to go home.
Living at Santa Cruz. in the Davao
district, is Miss Benedict, Chicago
university woman, who is collecting
everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
1t has been found that the bead
work done by them is'qute like that
of the American Indian, but there is
no other likeness in the races be-
yond that.

Bacon curers are usually among the
most prosperous firms in Belfast. but
they have had to warn the farmers
throughout the north not to kill any
more pigs until the strikes are settled.
for II Is impossible to handle the car
cases. Business has thus been divert.
ed to other Irish bacon-curing centers.
although the majority Of farmers have
simply respited their pigs and are
making no attempt to supply the mar
ket. Danish bacon factories will thus
profit.-I.ondon Standard.

Hidden sins are hard to heal.
puIque Shop. Of Mexico.

The government of the federal dis
trict Is considering the most practical
and lawful way to remove the pulque
shops from the central part of the City
Of Mexico.
The government has not given H.
censes to establish any new pulque
shops in the central section of the
city, and as soon as any of the jul
querias are closed on account Of the
end of the contract for rent or any
other cause, the government cancels
the license. But there are some Of
those shops, the owners Of which have
contracts for rent covering ten. fifteen
lgnd twenty years, and some Of them
are owners of the buildings occupied.
The government in this case can
not count on the ending Of the con-
tract to close the shops. and Is con-
sidering another way to remove them
from that part Of the city and still re-
spect the rights of the proprietors.-
