guages 10 the Erie high school and is also
a scientific forester. He Is looking for a
large tract of high land where he can
make a summer home aud engage in
through correspondence with r. NJ.
Herman. He found piece of land which
can be purchased and which would suit
his purpose admirably, and being great

John Swires was born in Mercer
county, Pa, in the year 1916 and died at
the Forest County Home, April Is, 1905.
He lived for number of years in the
vicinity of Hazen, Jefferson county. He
was twice married. His first wife died
several years ago, and about two years
ago he was united in marriage with Mrs.
Elizabeth Wyant, of this place. He had
been in poor health for the past six
months, death resulting from crrbosis
of the liver. He is survived by his wild
ow, and three children by his first mar
riage. Brief services were held at the
County Home Friday morning followed
| by the interment in Riverside cemetery,
Rev. W. o. Calhoun officiating.
The trouting season has been on for
one week yet we hear of no great catches
by the truthful angler in these parts. AS
usual about this time we read in the
neighboring papers OF great catches by
citizens who have come home from a
days angling, but these be fish" stories
mostly, and are delusions and snares,
and it's "against the law" to catch fish by
either method. if our neighbors want TO
know it, There should be a law against
lying about ones catch, especially trout.
Twould go farther toward protecting the
trout, we're thinking, than any other one
thing that could be done. A big fish lie
will cause more excitement and trouble
in the average community than dog
fight.
Some of our readers bave doubtless
wondered whether our popular Congress-
man, Hon. N. p. Wheeler, had stopped
his good pension work, having seen moth
ing of late in the papers about it. We
will state that the lists are growing so
large that the newspapers can scarcely
find space for them. Since Feb. Goth,
Just two months, Mr.. Wheeler has been
notified of the granting of llO pensions to
his constituents, aggregating monthly
paym ent of Sl64l, together with back pay
amounting to $lS5S. And still the good
work is going on. In the list of recent
allowances, of which our Congressman
has been notified appear the following
names of Forest county veterans: Aaron
Fenstermaker, Tionesta township, SIS 90;
Sebastian Cook, Cooksburg, $500;
Joshua Heath, Gilfoyle, $1,000; Jonas
lass, Fagundus, $l2OO; Stephen Maze,
Redclyffe, $1,000,
