Their months are washed with a fiery concoction in which red pepper is the main ingredient. and a crier goes through the town proclaiming the new arri"al and claiming for it a name and a place among the living Some one else in a distant part of the village acknowledges the fact and promises, on the part of the people, that the newborn babe shall be received into the community. The townspeople then assemble in the streets, and the baby is brought out and exposed to view.

Two lions.

There are two "lions" in Indianapolii society of the present day. One is Benjamin Harrison, the ex-president the other James Whitcomb Riley. The former walks down the street courteously bowing to acquaintances. Seldom does he stop to talk to a friend. Th« poet is more democratic, for he will "heave to" iu his easy sannter.at any time to talk to an old friend.

Along toward 4 o'clock in the after noon Riley drifts down town, and aftei he has talked with some one for a few minutes a eniile comes to the face of the Iriend, for Riley has surely said something very quaint.
