Miss Della Easterday at Rich Valley, Wabash county, attempted suicide by swallowing a quantity of a dandruff cure which contained a large percentage of wood alcohol. Her sufferings were intense, and her recovery is still a matter of doubt. Disappointment in a love affair is said to have been the cause of the girl’s attempt to shuffle off. An exchange tells of a newspaper reporter who interviewed thirty successful business men and found that all of them when boys had been governed strictly and frequently thrashed. He also interviewed thirty - loafers and learned that twenty-seven of them had been “mamma's darling,” and the other three had been reared by their grandmothers. Some newspaper men are terrible liars. In writing of a cyclone out west one of them said it turned a well inside out, a cellar upside down, moved a township line, blew the staves out of a whiskey barrel and left nothing but a bung hole, changed the day of the w'eek, blew a mortgage off a farm, blew all the cracks out of a fence and knocked the wind out of a politician.

Moltz and Mr. and Mrs. George Gross, of Huntington. The members of the Pocahontas lodge had a very interesting meeting on Thursday evening. Two candidates were taken into the mysteries, after which dainty refreshments were served.

This is prized very highly by each member. Mrs. Mereness left today for California where she will make her home with her daughter in the future. Seventy-five Eagles went to Fort Wayne last evening to attend the play "Under the Flag of Old Glory." The men had a charter car which started from here at six-thirty.

A large class of candidates were taken in, along with other business of the order. Miss Pearl Purdy' proved to be a pleasant hostess last evening when the members of the P. F. F.

Milligan of St. Marys, died a few days ago and since his death two women have come to claim the remains as those of their husband.

Wife No. 2 denied her claims and says that she has a marriage certificate, to prove her relationship to the man, the certificate, however, being in the possession of relatives near Adrian. Mich. Wife No. 1 says that her husband, while in business at Wauseon, became acquainted with a young wo-

man, afterward bringing her with him to St. Marys, where they had lived together since last October. o Plaster of Paris Bananas. Bunches of bananas that are absolutely unfit for food hang out in front of the wholesale produce commission houses. Some of them have remained there until they have grown rusty with age. “Couldn’t get a finer looking bunch than that,” said one of the dealers the other day, “even if it is plaster of paris. We used to put out the real article for a sign, but the peddlers who came down here had away of pulling one or two out of the bunch that happened to be hanging there on the hook. The small boys, too, had away of making a grab for a banana or two. By the time the bunch was on duty under the awning for an hour it was no longer presentable to the aesthetic sense. So we began to cultivate the make believe article, which is not quite so palatable, but just as good for advertising. And even at that some youngster in his haste will grab plaster of paris fruit and get away with it before he realizes that he has made off with something bad for his digestion.” —New York Herald. A Meal of Locusts. In the West Indies the negroes eat freely of the big grub found in palm trees. The fat, white morsel, which ' they call “grugru,” is not cooked or salted. The aborigines of Australia live almost entirely on a butterfly known as the bugong. The flies ap- ’ pear in batches on the rocks, and the 1 natives smother them with smoke from 1 fires built below. It is said that a Hot--1 tentot, with an appetite made sharp • by the simple life, can devour 300 fat . locusts at a sitting and feel better satisfied than If he had paid $8 for a ten course dinner. The Arabs dry the lo- ' custs and pulverize them into flour for breadmaking purposes. The Moors make a stew of them, and after boiling in water for a few minutes they are ! eaten with salt, pepper and vinegar, i The locusts found in Central Africa . are enormous, and the native negroes cut them in two and fry them in fat and find them, not only appetizing, but nourishing. A flight of these big locusts is a matter of tribal thanksgiving. _ Uncle Eoen s Wisdom. “De man dat has actually done sumpin’,” said Uncle Eben, “hab a 1 right to brag a little bit. But I ain’ got no patience at all wif de man dat brags ’bout what he’s gwinter do.” FOR SALE —A 9-room house on Fort Wayne interurban line, with furnace, hot and cold water, soft in bath.
