The mysterious character has been seen by several reliable persons and those going home at a late hour always take the middle of the street. About a year and half ago a character resembling those which have been seen in the surrounding towns made its appearance in Mont- i pelter. For the past month Hartford i City people have been “seeing” the . woman in black. A new lid probably would help things at Hartford City.—Bluffton News.

WHY MARRIAGES ARE FAILURES An Argument Showing that Women Are to Blame, t ; “Why American Marriages Fail,” is diseased by Anna A. Rogers in the Atlantic. As contributory causes she cites the 2921 courts in this country which are empowered to grant divorce as against one in England, 28 in Germany and 75 in France. Other reason are found in the growing "individualism” of woman and her failure to realize that “marriage is her work in the world.” From the "excessive education and the excessive physical coddling of young women,” their devotion to physical culture and sports, a hybrid feminine has been involved, according to Mrs. Rogers, who is a cross between a magnified, rather unmannerly boy” and a spoiled, exacting creature who sincerely loves herself alone. A new relationship between the sexes has thus arisen, “a slipshod, unchivalrous companionship,” which after marriage is discovered to be “a cause for tears or temper.”

The girl of the period in Mrs, Rogers’ phrase, “considers it a gaucherie to blush,” and regards shyness as a laughable anachorism, sentiment “sickness nonsense,” and courtesy bad form. She idles too much in the shops and at the hairdressers. Hence husbands are “disillusioned” and in “an ugly reactionary mood” even before the honeymoon has waned. Man for her part comes off lightly In the scoring. “Nine times out of ten he marries for love,” and his motives “if selfish, are generally as pure as if consistent with faulty humanity.” But do American marriages fail in fact? After all, only six-tenths of one per cent of the 13,000,00 and more American wives are divorced. If Mrs. Rogers’ indictment of her sex is true, comments the New York World, it must be said for the men that they have accepted the inevitables with a good grace.

Fred Bohnke Sr. who has been ill for several days, is reported as being no better today. The doctors are under the impression that he has suffered a slight stroke of paralysis. If you drink cocoa or eat chocolates it will be a case of dig as the prices are going up. Cocoa which has been advancing steadily In price since April was marked up two to three cents a pound last week by various manufacturers. Prices of Cocoa chocolate and chocolate confections are now said to be higher than for twenty-five years, and the reason given by the manufacturers !s that the bean costs them more than ever before, and double what it did a year ago. Frequently persons will write a Joke on some party and wander why it does not appear. All matter of that kind if accepted at all (and these cases are rare), must submit to having their name published with the article. If not, it would go as the editor’s pnductlan, and this would spoil the sense of the article. We are glad to get all the news ot every character and as the editor mast bear all the responsibility, he reserves the right; to formulate according to his owm ideas.

The recent rains have caused all work to cease on cement sidewalks, road improvements aDd the construction of sewers that is going on in the city. The various contractors would prefer u> See dn* weather, but are forced to take the bitter with the sweet. “Turn that wrapping paper the other side out" said a lady in a drygoods store as the clerk was tying up her purchase in a wrapping paper almost covered with conspicuous letters. “I rea-d the papers as most Intelligent persons do and think in them Is the place to advertise your business. instead of asking your customers to carry your signs around with each purchase of goods—tell the people through the medium of the papers what you have to sell and how you sell It.”

The Snyder annual reunion held at the tome of W. W. Stewart near Wren, Ohio. Relatives from eastern Ohio and Indiana were present and a good time was had by all. A sumptuous dinner was served to the two hundred people present. Indiana hopes to decrease the rate of mortality more within the next ten years, than in the twenty 'previous years. Secretary Hurty says it can be done through the pure food law and sanitary regulations. The greatest enemy now to contend with is impure water, but there is a movement on foot to prevent any city or town from securing their water from any other source than from wells, and when that is accomplished the dreaded disease, typhoid fever, must stop, and when that is prevented the battle is almost won.
