Judge Siggips and daughter, Miss
Ida Siggins, Of Tidioute, were visitors In
Tionesta few hours Friday. They were
accompanied by Miss Mary G. Oursler o.
Washington, d. G., who came to attend
the recent reunion at Mill Village, Pa, o.
the Range family, OF which she is de.
scendant. AS secretsry of the Washing
ton genealogical society, Miss oursler
had gathered fund of interesting data
relating TO this patriarchal family, aute-
dating by many years the American
Revolution, and her excellent paper, read
at the eunion, was easily the feature ol
that happy occasion.
Fl. NJ. Albert of Warren, fish and
game warden, is in this vicinity looking
into the alleged violation OF the law by
fishing on Sundays, which is said to be
carried OH to considerable extent in
French creek. Absence of public senti-
ment against fishing on the frst day of
the week has made the comm ssion
"wink" at violations in the past where
the fishing was not done too publicly, or
the operations were not too near church,
or highway or thorough fare, but APP
parently the members have had a change
of heart, as the same orders that have
been forwarded to the Warren officer are
said to have been general in their char
scter and apply to all sections of the
state. The action while d. astic has been
expected for some time by local fisher
men, and accepted by them as grounds
for movement towards the repeal OF the
law.-Franklin Herald.
MANY man who would get into ac-
tion instantly If dog or boy were
bolbering his cows will allow lies to
worry them thin aud keep the milk
supply down all summer rather than
spray them with one of the several
preparations which will keep flies, for
the most part, away from the animals.
1t is probable that even young cattle
would gain enough in weight and yigor,
If sprayed during the W. Tst of the fly sea-
son, to pay for material and labor. An
important point, too, is that animals
ought to have our best care, whether 1t
pays in dollars or not We gain much of
our support fro the dairy herd;
thousands of children would never have
survived infancy without the milk the
cows give, and as we kill them and use
them as we please, 1t is only just that we
give them all the com forts of COW life,
thinks the Franklin News man.
To be marooned on an island for sew
ersl days when you would prefer being
at home is not the most pleasant exper-
fence in the world, but II is what has hap
pened to several Kane residents. DR..
Baker and family and Miss Inez Zeller
have been camping on Dawson Island, in
the Allegheny river, for the past month
and on account of the numerous rains of
late the river has swollen to such propor-
tions that to get off the island and bring
their horse and baggage with them is out
of the question. The campers expected to
be home several days ago but they have
been held prisoners by the angry, mud
dy waters OF the Allegheny and must
wait until the waters subside. The party
is fortunate in that they have an ample
supply of provisions. Kane Republican.
The DR.. has succeeded in getting his fam
lily and camping outfit off but the horse
is still Robson Crusoed on the island,
the river having again reached flood
stage.
September is the first day of the
season for shooting water fowl, shore
birds, snipe, black birds of all kinds, and
doves. This is highly unimportant to
our sportsmen since ducks are about as
plentiful in this latitude as hens teeth;
shore birds aud snipe none, and black
birds about as ''gamey" rs turkey buzz
yards, while no man with soul the size
of gnst would think of numbering the
gentle, cooling dove. And the season for
killing the cunning coon is also now on.
What happy thought of the wise legis-
lator to put the devilish raccoon on the
protected game list! about as sensible to
protect skuuks, weasels and chicken
hawks, don't you think1 And that re-
minds us that raccoons are working the
cornfeds to beat the band, and farmers
are compelled to sit up nights and drive
the vsrmints away to save their crops.

these days is about the most popular
