A news item says that “drooping hats’ ’will be style in vogue for ladles this spring. That's very appropriate, as the hat will be in keeping with the husband's lower lip when he sees’thebill.

Samuel Buchanan, long a prominent resident of Huntington, died Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the age of 74 years. He came with his parents to Huntington in 1836 at the age of three years and had always lived in that city since that date. He was a railroad man in early life, later became clerk of Huntington county, a member of the city council, and was for many years at the head of the Huptington fire department. A sheriff was once asked to execute a writ against a Quaker. On arriving at his house he saw the Quaker's wife, who in reply to the inquiry: whether her husband was at home said he was, at the same time requested him to be seated, and her husbandwould speedily see him. The officer waited patiently for some time, when, the fair Quakeress coming into the room, he reminded her of her promise that he might see her husband. “Nay, friend, I promised that he would see thee. He did not like thy looks. Therefore he avoided thpe and hath departed from the house by another path."

He doesn’t think about that before be .gets into trouble. It’s all right, apparently, until he gets, caught, then he needs assistance and the chucking of particulars, and doesn't hesitate- to- ask for it. But then, At’s humftn. nature.

Thomas J. Wright, who was the first white male child born in Kosciusko county, is lying at the point of death at his home near Warsaw as the result of injuries received a few days ago when he was struck by a falling tree while at work in the woods. His skull was crushed and there is little chance for his recovery. Mr. Wright was born near Milford, October 3, 1883. A little girl went for the first time to church Wfth her ’mother. All went well during the service, but the child grew uneasy during the sermon, which was a long one. The mother tried -to every way to keep the little girl quiet, but in vain. Finally the child observed that the preacher had a pompous way of inflating his chest and lungs at a new paragraph l or head. Just as the mother was assuring the child that the preacher would soon stop, he did —for another start —and the tired child burst out on her mother’s assurance, “No, he won’t; he’s swelling up again."

“Free Press, Detroit Free Press!” yelled the newsboy. A farmer with hay seeds in his hair stepped up to the boy and said: "Gimme one of ’em.” The boy handed him a paper and the farmer turned to go. “Here,” said the boy, “where's de money?’ “What money?" asked the farmer. “Why, de pay 'er dat paper of course.” “Didn’t you say it wks’ the Free Press?" asked the seedy one. “Yes,” that’s the name of de paper, but it costs one cent." Weil: by hickory,": said the farmer to IJitnself, ns he proceeded on his way, “now I je~t wonder if that ere youngster aim one of ’em fakirs that Martha warned me ’bout.” ( “I sent my little girl,” writes a correspondent, “to the butcher's with 50 cents to buy some steak. She came home 10 cents short in change and was sent back for the missing coin. Presently the butcher s boy called with the dime and explained that his employer had found out his mistake, although they had seen nothing of my little daughter. The time went on, and I felt anxious until I heard her singing merrily in the garden. ‘Did you go back to the butcher’s?’ I asked. ‘No, mother, it is such a long way, so I asked God to send for the dime. Has it not come yet?’ o LOW PACIFIC COAST RATES.
