highway. Saturday, July l6, dur
ing the progress of a thunder shower,

three reputable citizens of Barnett town.

"A nervous exchange excitsbly an
nounces that "present indications are
that the bear crop, to be gathered by
hunters this fall, will be large one.
Bruin and his tribe seem to be numer-
Gus, and disposed to be mischieyous.
They are destroying crops, and carrying
off pigs and sheep in considerable num-
bers. When the bear season opens hunt
ers aud farmers will get very busy"
Now, when bears tske to destroying
crops, carrying off pigs and sheep, es-
pecially pigs, it is high time that "the
bear season opens" right away, before all
the sheep, pigs and crops are destroyed.
1t would be u blamed shame to put off
getting busy till the season officially
opens.
The Superior court has just handed
down an opinion in case of much i'm
portance TO oil and gas men, as well as
landowners, sustaining Judge Criswel of
the Venango county courts. The court
ruled that men who had leased oil and
gas lands, paying rental when gas alone
was found, could not shut in the latter
wells and refuse to pay the rents. A
company leased farm and struck a gas
we'll. After the we'll had been connected
to line and the fluid used for consider
able time, the owners shut in the gas for
future use and refused to pay rent while
it was shut down. Judge Criswell de-
cided the case in favor of the land owner,
who brought suit to recover rent, giving
an opinion that the landowner was en-
titled not only to the rentals but also 10
gas for his own consumption.
We happened in home the other
day, says an exchange, and over the par
lor door saw the legend, worked in letters
of red: "What is home without moth
er?'' Now what is the matter with "God
bless is our dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, and wipes of
the dew of the dawn with his boots while
many mother is sleeping. Dad buys
chickens for the Sunday dinner, carves
them himself and draws the neck from
the ruins after every one else is served.
"What is home without mother" Yes,
that is all right; but what is home with
out father9 Ten chances to one it is a
boarding house, father is under the slab
aud the landlady is the widow. Dad,
here's to you-you have got your faults
you have lots OF them-but you're all
right and we will miss you when you're
gone.
The Lock Haven State Normal School
has had gratifying success, both as a
training school for teachers and as pre-
paratory school for such students as de-
sire to 90 to college. Its home life is par
ticularly attractive to its students and
patrons. Probably no other feature has
contributed so much to its success. Par
ents realize that their children are well
taken care of, both morally and educa'
tionally. Reference is made to this fact
because the burning question with most
parents is chiefly the one bearing upon
the advantages any school offers in the
way of safeguarding and developing the
characters Of Its pupils. The splendid
patronage that this ideally located school
now has is the best assurance of its worth
as an institution of learning. 1t issues 6
