Suicide Caused by Fear.

Robert Weaver, aged 26 years and sim
gle, employed as bundler in the kind
ling wood factory of the Standard Wood
Co., at KellettVille, committed suicide at
10 o'clock last Friday morning by cutting
his throat in terrible manner. The deed
was com mitted in the kitchen at the home
of his friend, Ludwig Ruhmansader, with
whom he had been staying for several
days. Weaver had intended leaving last
Saturday morning for Portland, Ore, in
company with his sister, Mrs. Matthew
Messenger, and her husband, of Laquin,
Pa, who arrived in Kellettyille Thurs
day and were at the Ruhmansader home.
A few minutes before the tragedy his
sister was talking 10 him in the kitchen,
when he said he would shave and began
stropping his razor, while the sister went
out doors. Shortly afterward DIR. W. W.
Serrill, who was attending a patient in
the house, heard noise resembling run
ming water and informed Mrs. Ruhman-
sader of the fact. She opened the kitchen
door and discovered Weaver with his
back to the wall and slashing at his throat
with the razor. She screamed for the
doctor, who ran to the kitchen and grap-
Piled with the young man, holding him
until she secured the razor. 1t was too
late however, as the young man had sew
cred both jugular veins and the wind pipe
and died within five minutes from loss of
blood and suffocstion. No reason is
known for the desperate deed, except that
he had suffered from two attacks of pneu-
monis and feared he would develop tu-
berculosis. He had worked until Thurs.
day evening aud seemed in the best of
health and spirits. He had no bad hab-
its, was one of the steadiest men in the
employ of the company and had been
with them for many years, He had been
in Kellettville about five months at this
time, but had worked there before.
Weaver came from White Haven, Pa,
near Wilkesbarre, where he is survived
by his father, Robert Weaver. No in-
quest was deemed necessary and the body
was taken to White Haven, Saturday, for
burial

Additions to Good Roads Bill.

The main highway bill of Senator
Sproul, which has been reported to the
Senate from the roads committee, makes
provision for seventy-three routes in ad-
dition to the 2O3 originally provided, with
numerous changes in routes of highways
enumerated in the bill when presented.
The bill carries an appropriation of$6, ,0OO,-
600, of which 1900, 900 is for construction
and maintenance of state highways and
$1,000, 900 for continuance of the present
plan of the state aid to boroughs and
townships, but on a different basis, the
state paying only so per cent. of cost in
stead of rs, as under existing laws.
The bill is not contingent upon the ap-
proval of the constitutional amendment
for issue OF $50, 10000 of bonds for road
construction, although should that meas
ure be approved by the people the pro-
ceeds could be used.
Among the new routes for roads to be
cared for by the state as embodied in the
bill, in addition to those already provided
for, is one from Tionesta to Smethport,
Mexican county, by way of Tionesta
creek, Sheffield and Kane, and another
from Brook vile to Tionesta by way Of
Tylersburg Many other routes are
named in the bill but these are two our
people are most interested in.

Whose Seeds Do We Sell!

This is leading question, but it is so
often asked that we are glad that all
should know: After years OF expert
menting we have made selections that
include only the most desirable varieties
of Garden Seeds grown. No one seed
house supplies all of these varieties,
hence we gather our collection from the
different growers who are able to furnish
us just what we want, of seeds that will
grow. A number of varieties are grown
in this neighborhood by people who have
grown seed for us for years. Box seed
includes everything the seed grower
chooses to send out. Our seeds are only
the choicest varieties. Ii. C. MAPEs.

Test.
The hardest test is the test of time,
and Doan's Kidney Pills have stood
it we'll in Princeton. Kidney sufferers
can hardly ask for stronger proof
than the following:
Mrs. S. harrington, Princeton,
MIMI, says: "About two years ago
my kidneys began to act sluggishly.
My back panied me almost constantly
and my head never ceased to ache. I
did not rest we'll, had poor appetite
and was nervous. My mother finally
got box of Doan's Kidney Pills for
me aud after using them a short time,
I was entirely relieved.' (Statement
given in September, 1907
AFTER THREE YEARS.
Mrs. harrington was interviewed on
September %, 1910, and she added to
the above: 81 can still endorse
Doan's Kidney Pills in the highest
terms. My advice to anyone afflicted
with kidney complaint is to give this
remedy trial.

PAGANINI HELPED HER.
The Great Violinist Didn't Play the
Miser on This Occasion.

Wiser on MS OCCASION.
The following story places Paganini
in better light than this musical
miser was accustomed to appear. And
really one is led to wonder which is
the true Paganini-the miser or the
kind artist giving his talent to assist a
poor servant girl. One morning the
maid who waited on him in Paris
came to him, weeping, and told how
her lover had been conscripted and
sent away to the war, and she, Of
course, was too poor to buy a substi-
tute for him.
Paganini resolved to aid the girl and
took unique way to do it. He pro-
cured a wooden shoe and so fashioned
it that it could be strung up and
played like fiddle. Then he adver-
tised that he would give concert and
play five pieces on the violin and five
on a wooden shoe. OF course this
strange announcement drew a good
house. The violinist had given the girl
tickets to the concert. and after it was
over he went to her, and, pouring 10000
francs into her lap. he told her that
she could now purchase a substitute
for her sweetheart and with the re-
mainder set up housekeeping. He also
gave her the wooden shoe that had
brought her such good fortune and
told her to sell it. Of course this curl
Gus instrument brought her a goodly
sum, which she added to the amount
which was to bring her domestic hap
piness.-W. Francis Gates in "Anec-
dotes Of Great Musicians.

True to tho Pole.
''True as the needle to the pole," like
many another popular saying. conveys
a. distinctly erroneous impression. In

of the compass from the true north,
our government maintains division
Of terrestrial magnetism.
Not only does the magnetic needle
vary at different places, but the varia-
ton changes from year to year and
even at different times in the day. On
magnetic survey charts those places
which at a particular time have the
same amount of variation are connect
ed by what is known as an isogonic, Or
equal variation line. Through these
points on the map in which there is no
variation of the needle from the true
north a line known as the agonic
passes.
Iron deposits and mountain ranges
modify the action of the unknown
causes of the periodical variation and
cause these lines to become even more
crooked than those which mark equal
temperatures. known as isothermal
lines

day and full Of small errors in a few
years. The famous Mason and Dixon's
line between Pennsylvania and Nary
land, which was surveyed in the years
1853 to 1857, was run by the stars
and not by the needle, a great piece of
foresight in that day. If it had been
surveyed by the compass in 1900 it
would have shown deviation in some
places of two miles. and had the line
been run by uncorrected compass a
hundred years later, in 1900, the varia-
ton would have reached nearly nine

coal fields of two Maryland counties
would have been thrown into Pennsyl.
