He now resides in Irvington, a suburb of Indianapolis, and travels for a number of lines, including furniture, etc. Tuley appears but little older than ho did 25 years ago, when he was proprietor of the New York store, on the south sido. There save been no reptiles exhibited in any show windows in this town. What's the matter with you ? Courier. This is a cheeky assertion to make, after the Courier man had been chased around the square by one of those Mexican beans that escaped from Liudloy's show window. The IT. P.

Stand on the street and notice how few are the people who give any attention te dodgers and little hand bills. Boys thrust them into the hands of passers by and they are merely glanced at, crushed and tossed into the gutter, while a man or woman who resides in the city regards it as an insult to have a dodger or bill thrust into their hands. Only the

most verdant of "yaps ' and .ignorant old "hayseeds" give any attention to them, and the pavements and gutters are covered with them each Saturday. If they are of any value why are they not preserved It ia a waste of motey every time. Dr. Lyon's Father. The following item is from the Marissa, Ilia. Messenger: Mr. John R.

Marshal Payne aud hia assistant made a raid on a saloon in Bedford, at 1 o'clock Saturday morning, and interrupted a nourishing game of craps, at the time when there was $50 on the table. The Mail says: "The officers marched up-stairs, where they found fourteen Bedford business men, officials, ex-officials, heads of families, etc., engaged in a noble game of craps. They had recognized Payne's voice, and some sought to flee; and one well known business man who attempted to fret out the rear window was pulled back by his coat tails, it is ssid." Too bad! And just to thiak that the Progress man at one time was a citizen of that wicked town! In Blooiningten it is different: heads of families retire at 9 p.m., arise at 6 in the morning and have family prayer, take breakfast, compliment the better half on her fresh appearance, romp with the children, and then meander up to the store or office, dropping a $4 bill on the doorstep of a poor widow on the way. Arriving at the office each male employe is cordially shaken by the hand, the type-writer is embraced tenderly, and then thor routine of business begins.
