John E. Lamb of Terre Haute is to be ambassador to Mexico. The appointment means more than the awarding of a $17,000 per year job to an Indiana man. It means the recognition of the new Mexcan government. Mr. Lamb is an able man and a good lawyer who will be able to cope with all the big problems that arise in the southern republic. So many June brides enter upon the journey out across the matrimonial seas with light and airy steps, and in so many cases without a burden of knowledge and information concerning th© duties of the household. But isn’t it funny how, after a while, they become experts at manipulating the frying pan and the rolling pin?—Muncie Star. The Rev. L. B. Hastings, pastor of St. John's Episcopal church at Elkhart, is a believer in eugenics at applied to the human race, and when young candidates for matromony call upon him to unite them in marriage, requires each of them to produce a certificate from a reputable physician showing physical and mental soundness. The reverend is a firm believer tn the improvement of the race, and he is ready to do his part in that direction by refusing to marry a young man or young woman who is defective mentally or physically. There is no question about the wisdom of the stand Rev. Hastings has taken in this matter, but it will require time to overcome the opposition and prejudice to this innovation. —Columbia City Post.

I —— Causes Sensation in Bluffton and Collides With Traction Car Here. I. H. Heller of this office has a hat that has had more experiences in ten days than do most headgears in an existence of several years. It’s a light ’ soft hat, one of those kind that every little spurt of wind picks up and carries round the corner, causing the owner to run a hundred yards in eleven and feel like a monkey while the rest of the world looks on and laughs in glee. Returning from Bluffton in an automobile Friday evening the hat blew off and was lost along the roadside. The Banner wrapped a beautiful story and a five-dollar bill together in Saturday's issue and made it the big sensation of that edition. A farmer found the hat and took it to the News office, wher e it was taken - in charge by a committee of ladies and sent to the owner by express. This morning the hat box with a dred other pieces of express was basking in the sunlight in front of the National Express company’s office as the northbound traction car came down the street, when that box deliberately rolled out in front of the car, was picked up by the cow-catcher and carried half a block. It’s a real live hat, so trained that when news is quiet it furnishes any kind of sensation desired, and of course this makes it invaluable to the editor, and we offer sincere thanks to all those who have been inconvenienced in returning it to this office. POLICE COURT. Two drunks were brought before ’Squir e Stone this morning on a charge of public intoxication. The first one was William Goggins, who | was arrested on Third street Saturday i evening by Marshall Peterson. He I pleaded guilty to the charge and was ■ fined $1 and costs amounting to $9.80 which h e paid. The second one to appear was James Coverdale, who was arrested Sunday evening by Officer Melchi. He also pleaded guilty to the charge and was given the same dose of $1 and costs. He paid the fine and was given bis liberty. TURN TRACK INTO LOTS.

His Boohood Days (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) peaceful and calm. To the west was the beautiful rainbow in color— The spray of the water that leaped from the dam. High banks and the dam held the water surrounded: Peals of laughter that floated from spirits so light, Were caught by th e mill and the echo resounded, From dawn of the evening ’ti’l late in the night. — To Eternal Citv (CONTINUE* 1 F-O’T PAGfc ONE) cle is thus sadly broken again for the father, as well a- 'bo husband.
