A cow- is tied to a barn twenty-five feet square by a rope one hundred feet long. Over how much ground area can bossy graze?

A new show will be Introduced this evening at the Pictorium, entitled, “A Tragedy at Sea” and “An Exciting Honeymoon.” The films are new and up to date and are beautiful in every respect.

Referring to the frequency with which unpleasant dreams, and more particularly the classical nightmare, occur, Dr. Kehrer, the Munish specialist, says: "Persons who are subject to disturbances of this sort should allow three or four hours to elapse between the last meal and. going to bed; should not let this last meal be too hearty a one and should make it a point to avoid all indigestible dishes and alcoholic drinks with the evening meal.” Feeding working horses is a science in which only a small number excel. Some feeders feed according to the work that is being done, which is a wise method unless it is carried to an extreme. If a horse is overworked, overfeeding will not help him, but will instead throw him off his feed and induce indigestion. Some men do not give their teams any grain an days when they are not working. This is a mistake, for a working horse always needs some grain, although it is advisable to reduce the allowance when no work is being done.

Consider the base ball percentage columns, you who are not even base ball fans, and gain wisdom. And you who know the standing of every team in every league; who know just how many games your favorites can lose and yet win, provided their opponents win and lose in the same hypothetical way, abandon your “dope” for a minute and look at your familiar figures from a new' angle. It is as hard, if not harder, for teams to win games now than it was earlier in the season. Yet, then, a victory meant a big boost in the percentage column. Now it amounts only to a measly fraction of a per cent.

The grand lodge of the Indiana Knight of Pythias are anticipating the lack of interest in lodge work usual to the year of a presidential campaign, and in a circular letter to the members of the order in the grand domain they urged that the lodges keep up the growth of the past Pythian period by keeping busy before the campaign proves to be a strong counter attraction. The subordinate lodges are urged to “get busy and keep busy” and “keep a-going.”

A lady who understands advertising says: “No lady wishes to be looked upon as a shopping fiend; she does not care to go into a store and have a merchant show all his stock in order to find out whether he keeps what she wishes to purchase and whether the Article is sold at a price she can afford. It is much pleasanter to look through the advertisements of a paper than it is to bore the clerks and waste her own time. Next to the local news items, the advertisements in a local paper stating articles for sale with prices, will keep much of the money I that goes to the large cities at home.” '

special missionary rally service will be held at the M. E. church next Friday night. Fred Lubbe, the missing cashier of the First National bank, at Dillsboro, Indiana, is a conscienceless whelp. He’s sending post cards to depositors whose money he squandered. One card bears the picture of a huge jackass with the wording “Hee haw! hee haw!” “I am well, how are you?” A good story was told at Ossian yesterday. The Fort Wayne players brought Shamrock uniforms and wore them instead of the Ossian suits. At this the Ossian fellows objected, but were quickly silenced when the Fort Wayne boys said: “Oh, no; no more Ossian uniforms for us. The last time we dressed up in your togs we got the itch.” —Bluffton Banner. Acknowledge your ignorance and be “honor bright.” If you are a snail don’t fancy yourself a deer. If you are a sulphur match, don't pretend to be the sun. If you are ignorant, admit it like a man. A man makes himself abominable when he tries to pass for more than he is worth. He would be arrested for passing a fivedollar bill for a ten, but that is what hundreds of upstarts are doing with themselves.

The west bound “Commercial Traveler,” one of the Clover Leaf’s fast passenger trains, escaped a headon collision Thursday morning at Cates, Ind., by the narrowest of margins, gnd so close did the accident occur that the engine men, Engineer C.

Mr. Bennett escaped injury, but Mr. Momans was not so fortunate and suffers from a badly sprained ankle. —Frankfort Crescent.

Although it is well known that a number of the Fort Wayne manufacturing institutions have extended their markets beyond the boundaries of our own country, it is seldom that a shipment the size of the one recently made by the Packard company occurs. Thirty organs made at the local plant left the city yesterday over the Wabash for New York at which point they will be lowered into the hold of one of the large ocean freight houses and will continue on their way to Liverpool, England. The local company maintains an office on the island across the sea, but it is not often that orders like the present are secured, he shipments generally being in lots of a dozen or more. —Journal-Gasette.

With the city water supply at Muncie pronounced bad by the state board of health, and the mayor causing saloons to close tightly during hours when they are supposed not to sell intoxicants, Muncie citzens feel that they are in a bad way. and mysterious placards, expressing their feleings, continue to be placed about the city on trees and telephone poles. Some of the inscriptions are “Back to the Old Town Pump;” “Mayor Guthrie is Fixing the Saloon Keepers, Now Let Him Fix the City Water,” etc. Recent reports from the water-testing shows that the condition of the water is Improving slowly. The water company defends itself by pointing to the fact that there is very little typhoid fever in the city, whereas there is usually a great deal of it at this time of the year.
