State Park Bill Withdrawn.

A dispatch from Harrisburg under re-
cent date says: The A. Cook Sons Com
psny, owner of the tract of timber in
Forest, Jefferson and Clarion counties
that a bill sought to purchase for the state
for 5000, 900, has withdrawn its offer
through Thomas Liggett, of P%ittsburg,
who appeared before the forestry COM
mittee of the house. The bill was defeated
on third reading in the house recently,
then was reconsidered for recommitment.
In Withdrawing the tract from sale, Lig-
gett said:
"The price at which and the conditions
under which we have been given TO un-
derstsnd that it will be necessary for the
owners to sell ii are inadequate and un-
reasonable.
Neither the Cooks nor any other self
respecting persons would accept them,
particularly so in view of The apparently
malicious umo of graft, ETC., which
have been discussed and i%nsinusted, not
withstanding the fact that all who have
taken occasion to fairly investigate this
matter realize that the Cooks have madea
large monetary sacrifice in order to &C.
complish for the people the preservation
of a small portion of the original Penn
sylvanis woods.
"All the forces in the legislature that
have operated against this measure are,
of course, not known to us. They seem
to me to be antiadministration, anti
ethical, sntipeople and authorship. I
believe that the people of Pennsylvania
should and will hold the promoters and
spokesman of the determination to break
down this park measure as responsible
for the failure to accomplish a most ex-
cellent object.
"Whetber it will be possible to bring
about conditions which will preserve the
trees for consideration by a future legis-
lature, having in il less contention and
politics and more real interest for the
peoples good, is an open question; but il
so, the tract will have to be sold at more
nearly its real value than the one which
the Cook people had agreed to accept, un-
der the pressure brought upon them by
both their friends and enemies" 1t is moi
at all probable that the %iDsinustion of graft
had anything to do with the defeat of this
most estimable proposition, but on the
contrary, the entire absence of graft back
of the bill may have had much to do with
the lax interest shown in the project by
some of our worthy ~ lawmakers.

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that "rapid eating is
slow suicide" Ifyou have formed the
habit of eating too rapidly you are most
likely suffering from indigestion or con
stipation, which will result eventually in
serious illness unless corrected. Diges-
ton begins in the mouth. Food should
be thoroughly mssticsted and insalivsted.
Then when you have a ~fullness of the
stomach or feel duh and stupid after eat
ing, take one of Chamberlsin's Tablets.
Many severe cases OF stomach trouble
and constipation have been cured by the
use of these tablets. They are easy TO
take and most agreeable in effect. Sold

week later and die. But she had had

Of my property. But inasmuch as his
love for me could not survive little

him instead the china vase which is
now in his wife's possession"
Yet, after all, it seemed that Aunt
Mary had had singularly little to leave.
For what she did leave to her dozen
nephews and nieces amounted to ex.
actly ninety.seven dollars and eighteen
cents apiece.

they got home from the funeral, III

vase broke into thousand pieces.

Why-there's paper inside!"
There was indeed, for the vase was
hollow, and on the floor lay q long,
thin, folded package.
"Bills!" shouted George Strang, az
he unfolded 1t. And he shook out, ono
after another. nine bills Of the value
Of thousand dollars apiece.
Look! There's a letter!" said Lucy
Strang, picking up piece Of paper
covered with Aunt Mary's queer, crab
bed hieroglyphics.

George read aloud. Forgive q cranky
old woman who loves you with all her
heart. I know how you will hate this
vase. II you are hypocrite enough to
keep It, or unkind enough to give It
away. you will never read this note.
But II you are honest enough to fol-
low your impulse and shatter It you
will be glad and forgive your loving
old aunt"
"Dear old Aunt Mary!" said George
Strang. Lucy. dear, I'm going to have
the old thing glued together and keep
it In memory of her"
"Not-not-" began Lucy.
"Yes, dear. upon the living room
