PUBLIC SALE. _____ The undersigned will offer for sale at his residence, one mile south of the eourt house on the mud pike road, beginning at 10 o’clock a. m., Wednesday, February 8, 1911, the following property: Ten head of horses —Gray mare 9 years old, weight 1550; gray driving and general purpose mare 9 years old, weight 1200; bay mare, general purpose. in foal;. 8. years old, weight 1250; one dark gray, coming 8 years old, weight 1850; well bred driving horse, coming 5, can step some; one coming 5 years old, draft horse, weight 1400; Sound Separator LOGIC So many claims are made by competing separator manufacturers that it may seem difficult to decide which machine will give you the best service, Here is just one fact that it will pay you to keep in mind. DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARATORS are used exclusively by 98 per cent of the world's creameies. There can be no better recommendation for the DE LAVAL than the fact that the men who make the separation of milk a business use the DE LAVAL to the practical exclusion of all other separators. The more you come to know about cream separators the better you will understand the superiority of the DE LAVAL. JOHN SPUHLER, AGT. First Door East of Journal Office. Decatur, Ind.

WHEN THE TIME CAME By M. QUAD Copyright, 1910. by Associated Literary Press.

Mrs. Sarah Drew was a New Hampshire widow. She owned a farm, and Jake White was her hired man. He was a good man and a good worker and had been with the family for three years when Farmer White died. It will never be known to outsiders whether Mr. White, when told that he was to be gathered to his fathers, called Juke to his bedside and said: “I must go, but I am consoled by the thought that I leave Sarah in good hands. Give her a year or so to mourn my loss and then propose matrimony." Three years went by and Jnke had not spoken. There were times when he thought he was encouraged to speak out and other times when he was prepared to come In from the field after a hard day’s work and learn that the widow was engaged to the sewing machine agent who had that route. The widow, too. had thoughts. It was more than once whispered about that Jake was in love with this or that farmer girl, and she had come to feel that bls loss would be ■ double one. Mrs. Drew had been a widow for four years and Jake White had done bushels and bushels of thinking when winter came on. When the foot or more of snow which heralded the change of season bad got packed down on the highway Providence put it into Jake’s head to get out the big hand sled and propose a ride down the long and winding hill. Providence didn’t go so far as to put the widow next as to what would happen, but it meant well by both. It had been a long time, and Providence meant to hurry things up a bit. Half a dozen of the neighbors were to take part in that moonlight sleigh ride, but for one reason or another all backed out, leaving the two alone. Probably this was another trick on the part of Prov-. Idence. About the time the sled was drawn out for the glide Elder Henderson, who lived just beyond the foot of the hill, was saying to his wife: “Martha. I bought ten bushels of taters of the Widder White yesterday.” “We’ll need ’em all before spring.” was the reply. “I was goin’ for 'em tomorrer. but it’s such a nice night that I dunno but I’ll yoke up the oxen and jog along now.” “Might as well, I guess, but look out that the taters don’t get frostbit. You know how nighsighted you are in the moonlight. If you hear sleighbells you'd better give ’em the road.” “Nighsighted!” he indignantly sniffed. "Don’t you go to makln" out that I’m a hundred years old. Why. I could pick up a pin on the darkest night you ever saw. I’ve got just the same rights as anybody, and I’m dinged if I give more’n half the road.” The oxen were yoked In due time and started out. There were bags to hold the potatoes and blankets to cover the bags, and any old sport would have given odds of two to one that the elder, the oxen and Its cargo would arrive at the top of the hill right end up after a climb of twenty minutes. The wager would have been made without taking Providence into consideration, and the old sport would have lost. The Widow White was bundled up and seated on the sled. In fact, she was strapped on. Jake sac close behind her, dragging the foot that was to steer the sled a straight course. As they were ready to start it came over him to speak of his love. A feeling came to the widow that he was going to, but the time was not ripe. Providence figures those things down to minutes and seconds. As Jake shut his mouth on his words and started the sled Elder Henderson, near the foot of the hill, started singing a hymn. He not only loved the sound of his singing, but he thought tbe oxen ought to be encouraged. His voice came floating up the hill, and as Jake caught it he said: “Mrs. White, that’s Elder Henderson.” “Yes.” “He’s probably coming after those potatoes with bls oxen and sled." “Well?’

“He’ll be in the middle of the road, and as our sled is already getting away from control there’s going to be a smashup. I want to say to you that 1 have loved you for the last three years and to ask you if you will marry me?” “Oh. Jake!” “It’s the elder and the oaen for sure. Yes or no?” “It’s so sudden!” “Right in the middle of the road, and we’ll be into them in ten seconds.” “Must I—I”“Five seconds more!” ‘ “Then—yes!” Elder Henderson was marching ahead of the oxen, a bero leading the way. He was struck and sent flying and his tune cut short Then the sled struck the oxen and flung them into the ditch and made a long jump over the other and a minute later was at the foot of the bill and Jake was saying: “We might say the first of next week for the wedding!" It didn’t come off quite as quick as that, as they waited for the elder’s cuts and bruises to heal so that be could be a guest, but things came all right in a little time, and a favorite saying of the elder’s is: “All the hand of Providence, sir. If I hadn’t set out to sled them taters home that night there might never have been a marriage.” i

NEW PROCTOR BILL I CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE rapid growth will profit. This wjll not be in the interest of good legislation, as the average member of the rural county or district is careful when it comes to going on record with bis vote, and when he goes wrong he usually hears something drop from home. This is not true of the members coming from the centers where selfish business interests too often takes the place of a devotion to good government. The country may send their farmers, but they are a pretty good kind of farmers and seldom go wrogn even in the Indiana legislatuie. L. G. E. _— — USED CARBOLIC ACID. William Sellemeyer of near Magley was in town today on business. Mr. Sellemeyer has been carrying his right hand in a bandage the past two weeks. Some time ago a pimple appeared on his finger, causing much annoyance. After failing to find relief in the appliance of burnt alum, he tried carbolic acid. The bottle had been unused for some time and crystals had formed in it, the strength probably becoming more concentrated. A few drops were poured on the bandage and the next day a very sore hand, which has failed to heal, was the result. o— I Mrs. William R. Woods of Wren, Ohio, is the guest of her son, Loyal Woods, and wife, and her new granddaughter, which was born Monday night. The babe has been named Laura Martha, for its two grandmothers.
