CONVERSATIONAL SCRAPS.

Short Stories Picked Up and Repeated With the Expectation of Inter- ,„v.5. eating the Reader.

Capt. Talbot:—"Let people talk about their high priced barometers all tliey want to but 1 have a cheap one furnished by Dame Nature that beats them all. As everyone is well aware, reptiles, small animals and insects are so sensitive iu changes in the weather that they appreciate the coming of a change some time in advance and act accordingly. No creature is more sonsative than the tree toad. Some months ago I captured a small tree toad aud imprisoned him in a glass jar, arranging a series of steps from the mouth to the bottom. Invariably at the approach of bad weather Mr. Prog goes down to the bottom of the jar whiie in fine weather he is perched right up against the wire screen over the top. A change of weather is registered by him at least half a day in advance."

Said James WhiteomlTliley last Wednesday: "Crawfordsville is well named the Athens of Indiana and a more ideal town cannot be found in the whole country. This is my iirst visit here for some time and I not with pleasure the many changes and improvements that have taken place. It is a delightful town in which reside delightful people." -X-

"I saw a touching little incident on the streets during one of the cold mornings recently, "said Carl Scott. "A little boy came shivering by in a pair of low cut shoes full of holes and a pair of stockings to match. Two citizens stood in front of the Crawford and remarked of the child's condition as he passed. One of them called to him and when the youngster came back he spoke quietly with him for a few minutes. They then went west together on Main street. A little while later I saw the boy ct ming back with fine new stockings and shoes on and feeling as fine as a fiddle. The man -who performed the kindly act didn't tell anyone about it but I guess he got a credit mark just the same."

Escaped on a Variance.

The case of the state vs. Frank Sullivan, charted with having stolen clothes from John Conners, came to a sudden close Wednesday. After part of the evidence was in his attorney, F. P. Mount, moved that theTcase |be dismissed as the indictment was faulty, the name of the prosecuting witness being there given as John Conner instead of Cinners. Judge West sustained the motion but exercised his authority and held Sullivan, sending him back to jail. It seems that all the clothes Sullivan took were not mentioned in the indictment andi he will now be brought up for hooking a pair of shoes,^concerning which no charge was'mnde originally.

DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR.

The Durbln and Landis Glee Clvb Entertained at the Crawford House.

The Dtirbin and Landis Ladies' Glee Club of Wingate, fifty winsome young ladies, were handsomely entertained Tuesday at the Crawford house by Congressman Landis. The club was organized four years ago as the Mount and Landis Club, and was reorganized this year under the name it now bears. All the ladies live in or near Wingate and they can make spleudid music. Their work during the campaign was of the most effective character. When the club arrived here Tuesday afternoon the ladies put up at the Crawford, and at two o'clock proceeded to the home of General Wallace where several hours were delightfully ^'passed with the general in his studyjjand about the grounds. Nicholson, »the3-photo-grapher, was present and took several pictures of the ladies, General Wallace, Mr. Landis, and Mr. and Mrs. Wingate also being in the group.

Governor and Mrs. Mount arrived on the evening train and were cordially welcomed at the hotel. At half past eight the banquet was served and Mr. Jones had spared no pains in preparing the dining room for the event. The columns were decorated with Hags and the tables with flowers. The following menu was served:

NVw YurU t'o'.mls Celery Olives 'TJonsoinme lc Orangey

Salted Peanuts

Fillets of Salmon, Shcrkin Sauce Potatoes liretonne Orange Ice Shortbill Snipe. Stuffed and Roasted Asparagus in Cream Shrimp Salad

Brick Ice Cream

Assorted Cake Coffee Confections

The after dinner exercises' were of a most pleasing character. Mr. Landis presided andj his remarks were highly happy in their nature. Governor Mount was called upon and his address was one that was in every way worthy of him, abounding in thought and sentiment. Mr. Wingate, the patron saint of the club, made a short address on behalf of the ladies and presented his subject in a beautiful manner for which he deserves no credit at all considering the said subject. The ladies presented Mr. Landis with the banne.- they had carried during the campaign, and Governor Mount and General Wallace were each of them presented with an elegant silk llag. The occasion ['closed with the singing of "America." Those present -beside the club members and the gentlemen patrons were Mr. Lau dis, General Wallace, Governor and Mrs. Mount, Mrs. Jennie Blair,IMr and Mrs..'Wingate, and Mr. and^Mrs Bonnell.

THE SLOT MACHINES.

The Police Board Met on Wednesday and Ordered Them All Out at Once.

The police board met Wednesday in special session at the mayor's ollicound the slot machine question was brought up. As is generally known these gambling devices have been openly operated here for some Lime and there are over one hundred in use right here in Crawfordsville. Some of tlio business men who maintain them state that they ire bitterly opposed to the machines but, were forced to put them in by the fact that their business rivals had them going. About a month ago machines were put in by a number of saloons where money was directly played for iustead of checks good for cigars or drinks. These money machines presented tremendous odds in favor of the house but they nevertheless proved most attractive for suekors and were kept busy. In many places small boys were permitted to play and vigorous protests began to be made to the city

Authorities. The abuse had become flagrant and it was the opinion of every membor of the police board that a hall, should bo called. The police were accordingly instructed to close every slot machine in town at onco ami to sje that they are all of tho.m kept closed. By noon practically every machine in town had been retired from service.

The ritual used was that of the ring with responses and was short and impressive. At its conclusion the brido and groom led the way to the dining room, where an elaborate wedding breakfast was served.

The bride is a very popular young lady who, during her long connection with the Big Store has made legions of friends, being the bookkeeper and confidential clerk of Mr, Bischof.

They 1 eft on the noon train for their future home-at Chicago, where thoy will be at home to their frionils after December 1, at 759 west (Kith street.
