 Use of Auto for One Day.

The sellers" Automobile show of which Harry Futile was manager drew 10 conclusion Wednesday evening, after a most successful week. The show shared all the successes of the bigger show next door. It is safe to say that all those that attended the ex- position in Music hall dropped in at the sellers" show, and perhaps even more, for admission at the latter was free and as the signs in the windows stated As free as the air you breathe"
 But this latter statement Is hard H true. All those attending this show were asked to purchase numbered tick cts at a quarter each the fortunate holder of the lucky number to have the use of one of the seven passenger Stoddard- Dayton touring car with a chaffeur, for an entire day. The money realized sl79 was for the Grace hospital building fund.
 The lucky number was s71 and Mis-; Ethel Ball of East Haven is the hold CT. The car and chaffeur will be at Miss Balls disposal any time she de- elres.

NOVEL OCCUPATION New Haven Woman to Branch Out as Assistant Un-
 dertaker. FIELD FOR THE WORK The Many Duties That Can be Per- formed by Assistance of
 Fair Sex.

A very interesting occupation has been selected by bright little woman who finds it necessary to earn her liv- ing and her purpose to undertake an entirely new line of work at least new in this city. The position of assistant to an undertaken. meant at first hear ing an entirely different form of em- ployment from the actual intuition of the person in question as was proved during an interview. Tt is my pur- pose to take up a line of work which has been followed very successfully in other cities, and which will I think appeal to everybody who understands the benefit to be derived from the ser- vices which am offering. To go into the home as a sort of general mana ger during the immediate period of mourning, to do the thousand and one little and big things which are con stantly coming up to be done, which are positive burdens to the members of the household, but which. must be attended to. Yes, I know there are al- ways friends who are willing to help at such a time, but nobody feels like ask ing some things even of friend at least not as they would ask some one to do who was employed and paid for that purpose. I am prepared to take entire charge of the mourning. if they desire to have me. to answer the tele- phone, to arrange flowers. carriage lists. to assist the funeral director, to look after the arrangement of the house during the two or three days when such services would be of infinite comfort to those whose minds are com pletelv taken up with their grief Then have the house In its custom ary order and readiness for the regrl- lar routine when the services are over and the homecomers want all trace of the recent affliction removed. That was my plan in taking up this new work see no reason why there should not be need of me here. as well as for those following the same line elsewhere. I'm sure no employment could he more satisfactory than beine of service at such time. There is g field for just such work. and certainly people will appreciate the fact that New Haven is fortunate in being the location chosen for home by the woman who has already taken mp tht occupation here.

"Our Boys at Camp"

A visit to the camps of Company M.
of our Boys Brigade, found their tents
pitched on the meadow lands of Money
Farm, together with Companies I, L,
and K, of Ridgway.
The Money farm lies seven miles
west of Ridgway, on Bear Creek, one
of the most picturesque spots in the
valley. On the south side of the
field the four companies have their
tents so pitched as to form four COM
plete streets, at the head of which you
find the tents of the officers, and on the
opposite end are situated the mess
tables. On the north side the staff is
quartered, over which waves "Our
Nations Pride"
All the boys are detailed to do differ
ent work, such as guard duty, assist
ing in the mess tents, keeping tents in
order, etc. At six o'clock in the morn
ing all are aroused by bugle call; at
1870 breakfast, and the rest of the morn
ing is spent at drills. After the noon
day meal, field sports are INDUCED in
AT six p. m. all assemble at the call of
the bugle for dress parade, in which
Company M, was judged by the visi-
tors as the best drilled and making the
finest appearance.
The boys are under the careful guild
ance of Major Bliss of Ridgway and
Rev. Robertson, their Chaplain, of this
city who see to their needs, as we'll as
to the discipline.
All the boys appeared to be enjoying
camp life, and enduring the hard ships
like brave soldiers, excepting few
knockers" who deserted the camps
before even getting acquainted with
the grounds and layout Our future
heroes are made of such sturdy lads as
those who stuck to the camp.

Another Hunting Record.

In last weeks PRESS we note an
article in which is given the hunting
and trapping record of Isaac William
Wykof, of Cameron, which is certain
ly great showing and which places
Mr.. WYkoff in the front ranks, and
while we cheerfully admit that Isaac is
a top notcher, we beg herewith to sub
nit the record of John S. Jordan, of
Huntley, during the past year and also
during his forty years experience of
hunting and trapping in this section.
1t took considerable persuasion to over
come Mr.. Jordan's natural modesty
but he finally granted the PRESS cor
respondent an interview, in which he
submits the following: In the season
of 1907, he secured six bear, three wild
cats, 16 coons, 20 mink, five weasels, 13
foxes, q skunks and 80 muskrats, and
! during his 40 years experience, he re-
members of killing 73 bears, 40 deer,
over 200 foxes and countless numbers
of small game.
Mr.. Jordan remembers the last time
he used muzzle loading gun. Some
years ago he was hunting pleas
ants with an old smooth bore and
had used up all his shot and was re-
turning home when he suddenly came
upon large bear at the head of Big
Run. He wanted that bear but had no
shot or bullets. However his native
resourcefulness came to the rescue and
he quickly rammed home charge of
powder and using the hickory ram rod
as a projectile, shot the bear through
the heart. Singularly the ramrod was
not damaged in the least.

| hunter-trappers in Cameron county,
| among whom are Seth Nelson, of
Grove; James Batchelder, of Sinnama.
honing; "Pap" Blodgett, of Wyside;
jeff Lynch, Geo. Strawbridge, Henry
Hiney and Larry Summerson of Sterl-
ing Run; Allen Russell, of Four Mile,
and last, but not least, "Uncle" Wash
ington Mason, of Tunnel Hill, who is
50 years old but who can hit fifty
cent piece at 200 yards with bullet
After we heard from the former gentle
men, "Uncle Wash'' may give us some
very interesting information regard
ing his hunting and trapping in this
section, as he is the pioneer of them
all. 1t has been suggested that the
hunting achievements of the above
named gentlemen be submitted to
Major j. M, English of the R. F. D.,
and whoever is declared the champion
will be asked to join President Roose-
welt when he goes to Africa on his big
hunt after his term of Office expires.

represents that his home is within two
squares of the Penitentiary, so he will
be near bis home. This quick busi-
ness is a warning to evil doers to keep
away from Emporium.

Shaking off the Dust.

Both Lock Haven and Remove are
buckling down to street paving Lock
Haven has paved a long stretch on
Church street, which cost them less
than SLIGO per square yard. Remove
have received bids for the paving of
two streets, the lowest bid being S1.99
per square yard for paving and 60 cents
per lineal foot for curbing. Remove
paving is to be completed by August
28th. The Lock Haven Democrat
while speaking of the work already
done, pays the "Calder'' brick, manu-
factured by the Penn Vitrified Brick
Co., at Cameron, the following tribute:
GAS matter of comparison with the
contract price, S199 per square yard,
which Remove will pay, the paving job
on East Church street, this city, which
was put down last summer by the city,
under the direction of Superintendent
G. F. Keller, cost fraction less than
$1.60 a square yard. Calder brick were
used on concrete foundation and it is
conceded by competent authorities that
better job of brick street paving can
not be found anywhere"
