Slaughter of the Innocents.

Friday and Saturday, April 26th and
9th, although ten days after the closed
season for wild ducks, geese, brunt,
swan, coot and mud hen, countless
numbers of these fowls were ruthlessly
slaughtered or wounded and left to die
along the banks of our streams by our
local game hogs. AS the water was
too high to secure tho birds even after
they were killed or wounded, they
fioated down stream to become q crea.
tor of decease germs or if not killed
outright were left to die along the
shores. As the mating season is now
on it seems shame to kill these birds
as the average wild duck will ordinari-
ly raise from eight to sixteen birds, so
that every female killed at this time
means not only the loss of that one
duck but of the brood that she would
have mothered. 1t does not take
much intelligence to appreciate, that
this kind of butchery will lead to
entire extinction in very short time.
1t seems sad that human and intelli-
gent persons would deliberately kill
| birds at the time nature has allotted
for the propagation of their species.
The game laws are very plain on this
point as on page IL of the game laws
of Pennsylvania, in the last part of sec.
ton Is, Act of 22nd, 1905, we find the
| following: The open season for wild
goose, wild duck, brunt, swan, coot or
mudhen shall be from the first day of
September to the first day of January
next following and from the first day
of April to the sixteenth day of the
same month.
1t is safe to say that at least five hun
dred waterfowl were slaughtered in
violation of the game laws of Pennsyl-
vania on Friday and Saturday, April
26th and 9th, between Emporium and
Remove and the guilty parties should
be taught a lesson they should not soon
forget.

Glad Live in the World With You.
When the break ofday has come,
lay awake listening for the street car huns;
The clatter OF feet and laughter I hear,
is the sound of the working class dear:
meet them and watch them one by one,
While the task of another day has begun;
thank God for the work He has left me to io-
And glad to be in the world with YOU
When the Sabbath comes with its holier spell,
I listen to the echoes of the distant bell:
There is place | long o be,
Where blessed worshippers bend thir knee:
facy the songs of our music here,
Loses itselfi into Heaven so near,
My very soul breathes happiness all the -vsy
through,
So glad to be in the world with you
Ofall the sweetness and all the mirth
That sirs in the bosom of mother earth;
To the bowling storms to the mist and rain,
And sunshine that always return again;
l sing song and its very tune
| So glad live in the world with YOU
| The good work for is hard to win,
| But my toll and labor are woven in.
| To my marvellous web one day you shall see;
It's now hidden from blossom and sky and rec
You will not know unhl have gone,
| To live my life in eternity beyond,
| How opened the door of my heart,
bright light shone through,
| A thank God l live in the world with YOU.

How to Beat the Gas COMPANY

How to Beat the Gas Company.
1t seems that every body now knows
how to burn ashes, but it remained for
Joe Anderson, brakeman on the shifter
at the passenger depot, to tell people
how to burn bricks. Anderson's
scheme beats anything in the fuel line
SO far heard of. Three bricks after
being treated to his firemaking solu-
ton, will keep an intense heat in a
stove for twenty. four hours. And then
their is no smoke or ashes. This is the
Anderson scheme. Put the bricks in
strong salt water for half day and
afterward put them in coal oil until
they are thoroughly saturated. Then
they are ready to burn, and the cost of
this kind of beat is much cheaper than
burning ashes.-Altoona Mirror.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, April 27, 1907.

hCz Il lCSiucIIU IL oub VI Town,
Taft is off to Ohio, the Secretary
of State and most of the Cabinet
officers have gone officially to
jamestown, and some of them have
managed to get switched off in
other directions. And the lethargy
of summer is beginning to settle
on the town. But it will not be
a quiet summer. All eyes are on
Ohio, and will be till the fight there
is over, and every move of the
President is being watched by both
friends and foes to see whether it
has not some hidden bearing on
the general political situation.
The latest rumor that has been
put out in the Ohio campaign and
that has not even been noticed to
be ignored at the White House, is
that the Taft candidacy is all
bluff and that he is really being
used as a stalking horse for the
President who is after a second
elective term This is u new way
OF referring to the third term, and
was concocted by some of the ad-
vocates of the third term proposi-
tion who thought it sounded better
than the bold third term statement.
But it can be said that Secretary
Taft is not worrying. He has gone
into the Ohio fight with the idea
of winning, but he will not be
heart broken if he does not.
One OF the most serious features
OF the situation against him now is
the opposition that has been stirred
up by the labor union element over
the Presidents alleged impolitic
reference to Moyor, Hayward and
Debs on the eve of the trial OF the
first two for the murder Of Gov.
Steuenberg of Idaho. The fight of
| the Western Federation in the
cases OF Meyer and Hayward, who
are among its high officers, has been
taken up by many labor unions,
and it looks as though Secretary
Taft were going to have the opposi-
tion of the whole organized labor
element in Ohio on the strength of
it. 1t will be remembered that the
President in the course of the Harri-
man controversy, brought forward
a letter in which he had referred to
Meyer, Hayward and Debs as
undesirable citizens" All of the
champions of Meyer and Hayward
were quick to take up the words
and declare that the President was
trying to influence the course of
justice in a pending case by his
reference to the Idaho murder.
Then the President came back with
a characteristic reply, in which he
denied any intention or ability to
influence pending case by his ref
erence, and added insult to injury
by saying in effect that Meyer and
Hayward were all that he had call
ed them originally and that he has
no regrets to express over any
thing he had said. But the result
has been to bring out a lot of pro-
tests from professional labor men
all over the country, and the op-
position will be quick to take adj
vantage of the occurance to make
1t as hard as possible for Taft in
| Ohio and elsewhere
