playing baseball at Russell Park to break
one of the small bones in his left leg
while making a slide to third base. A
physician was called and the young man
was taken to the home OF his parents on
East street. where the broken limb was
set. Although the young man in suffer-
ing considerable pain from the injury,
he is resting as easy as can be expected.
Warren Times, Tuesday.
An executive meeting of the Forest
County w. @. T. U. was held at the
headquarters of the Tionesta Union, last
Thursday, May 23d,' at 200 p. IN. The
important business of the meeting was to
arrange for the annual convention which
will be held in this place during the lat
ter part of September. The work of the
committee was systematically taken up
aud dispatched with zeal and enthu-
siasm that augurs well for the success of
the convention. The out-of-town mem
bers of the committee were entertained at
luncheon by the local members.
"A very enthusiastic and well pleased
audience greeted the entertainer at the
court house Friday evening, and Mrs.
Gertrude T.. MacWhirk was at her best in
the many excellent readings with which
she regaed her hearers. Her selections
were appropriate and included the story
OF David and Goliath, readings from the
81, - .r
Sunnybrook Farm" and many others
with humor and pathOs so closely blended
as to keep her audience in a state Of
pleasurable excitement from start to
finish. Mrs. MacWhirk's presence on
the platform is most pleasing and grace
full, and her manner easy and natural,
showing perfect training in her art.
There was nothing lacking in her reading
that would please the most refined taste,
and should she again appear in Tionesta
she is assured an audience that will tax
the capacity of the house.
The Franklin News on Saturday
published letter received by Franklin
man from the state authorities at Harris
burg in which the statement was made
automobile could not drive that car with
out license. An authority on the auto
mobile law advises the News that that is
incorrect. An automobile organization
in 1910 caused test OF the law in this re-
spect to be made. 1t caused the arrest in
Philadelphia of man for driving his
sisters car and when he was tried by a
local magistrate he was fined. The case
was appealed, and the quarter sessions
court held that only paid drivers and
chaufleurs are required to take out
| licenses, and the clause in question APP
plies only to them. The only other per-
son required TO take out license is one
under Is years of age. The decision In
the case may be found in Pennsylvania
District Reports, 1910, page 27l. The title
of the case is Commonwealth VS.. Cooper,
and the opinion covered several pages.
1t is to be taken for granted that
most girls are anxious to be charming,
says lub hOilu liuO
charm of manner often comes from a
happy temperament, pleasant disposi-
tion. There is no doubt that charm may
be cultivated by true politeness, a sincere
wish TO please, an unwillinguess to hurt
another PERSONS feelings by word or act.
The cultivation of good manners refines,
sweetens end strengthens the character,
makes one thoughtful and considerate of
Others, unselfish in doing little kind
nesses; firm in the determination to live
up to high standards Of conduct. Manners
must always be the outgrowth of char
acter, the real polish which is the result
of care, not thin veneer, which is mere
| ly superficial. 1t is in the power of every
girl to form her manners so that she may
be nobler woman, with an influence
that is far-reaching, and by her sincere
politeness, true kindness and fine ideals
of life, make the world pleasant place
for those she meets on her way through
| 1t.
Nearly everybody in this community
knows and respects A. X. Smart, of the
Smart Il Silberberg store in Oil City, aud
| Just because he seeks little recreation
from business cares while doing a few
garden stunts in the city's suburbs, is no
reason why he should receive such treat
ment as is described by the Blizzard
editor in the following item: "Farmer
AL Smart, who lives out Plumer way,
came to town the other day in his agri-
cultural regimentals and an automobile.
Autoing was real novelty to him.
Some of the town boys, who had driven
out in the vicinity of his rendezvous, for
an airing, picked him up, and, although
he demurred, on the plea that he hadn't
got his store clothes on, took him to the
Venango club, where they gave him
something to eat and toby to smoke
Then they insisted that he elucidate his
ideas as to the best methods for treating
strabismus in cross-eyed potatoes, and
while he was doing so they rudely at
tackled him with keen-edged knife,
ripped his overalls into shreds and di-
vided up the pieces as souvenirs. Such
an act of vandalism is objectionable. 1t
calls for public condemnation. Some-
thing should surely be done to protect
the guileless ground-diggers when in our
city. The seekers for relics and sky-blue
curios must be curbed in their impetu-
osity. Such ruffianism cannot be toll
Grated. Suppose he hadn't had on any
thing under the overals."
There never was time when people
appreciate, the real merits of Chamber
lan's Cough Remedy more than now.
This is shown by the increase in sales
