Crown Point Star; Mr. John Millikan, of this place, felt preud the 16th of last July by passing his 90th birthday, but he has met defeat. His brother William, living in Ohio, has recently written him that he celebrated his 98th birthday on September 22nd in good shape, which must make John feel that he is still a boy, and he walks yet as sprightly as one.

' It seems Carrie was parading through the depot blowing up ev?ry man she oaught smoking, and finally reached the room 1

specially set aside for a smosinz loom, and here Ufil was in her glorv, there being objects of her objurgations on every hand. Ctrne opened tier batteries on them in great and just then the big policeman butted in and 1 ordered Carrie, if she diden’t lik i j the sty le of the occupants of the smoking room to get hereself into the ladies waiting room and stay J there. Th nit was the policeman g>t eu h a b ast as he never will forget to bis last hour. And the bitterness of it all was that she did not say or do anything that would justify ler arrest by “the policeman, aud all he could do was to stand and take his medicine. He now says he has but one hope in life and that is to catch Ca rie doing or say ing something that he can pinch her for and make it stick. Until that happens, life to -him will be a dreary waste.

3 cents Eight cents a pound is what a young woman paid for twelve pounds of flesh. She was thin and weak and paid one dollar for a bottle of Scott’s Emulsion, and by taking regular doses had gained t welve pounds in weight before the bottle was finished. Eight cents a pound is cheap for such valuable material. Some pay more, some less, some get nothing for their money. You get your money’s worth when you buy Scott's Emulsion. We will send you a little [rve. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists. 409 Pearl Street, ’ New York. 50c and si.oo ; all druggists.

When president McKinley was first ineugurated in 1896 business and commercial depression prevailed throughout the country. Within two years after the passage of the Dingley tariff law there

Such figures as these tell their own story. The Indianapolis Star is the meanest kind of a Democratic paper, because it claims to be independent. But the success of some newspapers and individuals seems to be gsuged hy their ability to travel under false colors- However, sometimes the “bank busts,” politically as well as financially.—Goodland Berald,
