A suicide’s farewell note never appealed very much to our literaty taste. The trouble hunters all report fair success, but the one who falls in love with another man's wife lias a cincn. An accommodating clerk to this poor purchaser, is one w-ho doesn't try to sell him everything in the store.

The man who says lie feels as young as he ever did, isn’t. The rarest complaint is that the | sermon was too short. Knocking and flattery to meet different opinions won’t get you any where. The C. M.

Gooken of the South Bend pathological laboratory. Dr. Gooken’s discovery, if it proves as successful in the future as it has in the past few experiments, will doubtless be the greatest boon to expectant mothers in the history of the medical world.

Jacob Wissenberger, aged 78, an inmate of the county infirmary for a year past and at Intervals for twelve years before that, hanged himself in his room at the infirmary Saturday night, using a red bandanna handkerchief to accomplish his purpose. Despondency over failing health is largely responsible for his act. He made several threats of suicide within the last few weeks and once tried to secure some carbolic acid. —Bluffton Banner. Mrs. Charles Grewer of Tocsin was taken today to the Lutheran hospital at Fort Wayne, where she will be treated for blood poisoning which has developed from the prick of a pin >n one thumb.

If he can cut off that four and a half seconds he will be sailing some, and the chances are that he or some other foolish man will do it or die trying. He drove a 300-horse-power front drive Christie, an American-made machine. Miss Inez Gorrell, one of Ossian S’ highly esteemed young women, passed away at five o’clock this morning after a long illness from pulmonary disease.

A Soluble Antiseptic Powder to be dissolved in water as needed For Doaelies In tho local treatment of woman's ills, such as leucorrhooa and inflammation, hot douches of Paxtine are very efticaoious. No woman who has ever used medicated douches will fail to appreciate tho clean and healthy condition Paxtino produces and the prompt relief from soreness and discomfort which follows its use. This is because Paxtine possesses superior cleansing, disinfecting and healing prop rties. For ten years the Lyula E. Pinkham Medicine Co. has recominended Paxtine in their j private correspondence with women, which proves p ■ super!- ■ ority.

In Defenaa of tr.o Mutt. In what is described by Justice Ilenxy Lamm of the supreme court of Ml»aouri as u “celebrated case" the court banded down a decision exonerating the Missouri mule. Some years ago one Lyman sued one Dale for damages done to the plaintiff’s buggy by "the aforesaid wild and unruiy mule." After being considered by Justices of the peace, one circuit judge, three Judges of the court of appeals and four supreme court Justices the nmie is exonerated by Judge Lamm as follows: “There are sporadic instances of mules behaving badly. That one that Absalom rodu and ‘went from under’ him nt a crisis in his fate, for instance. ’The mule don't kick according to no rule,’ snlth the American negro. His voice has been a matter of derision, and there are those who put their tongue In their cheek when speaking of it. “However, tlie faithfulness, surefootedness and good sense of tlie mule, all matters of common knowledge, may be allowed to stand over against his faults and create a preponderance in tho scale in his favor." —New York Suu. Grief of a Rhinoceros. A rhinoceros is capable of grief, according to a Paris writer who wrote this anecdote years ago: “The animal had been hi the collection at the Jardin des Plantes for twenty-two years, but was of nn unsociable and Irascible temper, and not even his keepers ventured to take any liberties with him. One day, however, the little lap dog of the wife of tlie director got into his house by squeezing in between the bars. Instead of killing the intruder, as expected, the rhinoceros allowed the little creature to play with him, scampering over his back, biting his neck and playing off all manner of sportive tricks. The two became great friends, the ‘wee doggie’ passing several hours each day with his undemonstrative acquaintance, who put up patiently with all its teasings. One day the rhinoceros inadvertently set his foot on his little pet, killing It instantly. The poor brute’s grief at the catastrophe was pitiable. For two days he did not eat a particle of food.” Verhaeren’s Love of Finery. A love of gorgeous raiment, such as characterized Emile Verhaeren, tlie noted Belgian author, in ids youth, lias been common to many famous writers. Disraeli as a young man startled the town by nn evening dress comprising green velvet trousers, a canary colored waistcoat and a coat with lace cuffs. Dickens, likewise, was fond of a certain bright green waistcoat, which he wore in accompaniment with a vivid scarlet tie. and lie turned up at Frith’s studio one day in a sky blue overcoat with red cuffs. Even more fearful and wonderful was Dumas’ appearance nt an ambassador's reception in “a shirt on which were depicted a number of little red demons disporting themselves amid flames of yellow fire." “My costume was a great success," he wrote “Every one thronged round and made much of me."—London Graphic.

He'd Change His Wooing. “If you had it to do over again, would you marry?" “Yes, I think I would.” “The same girl?” “Yes, the same girl.” “Then you have no regrets what ever?" "I wouldn’t say that exactly. If 1 had it to do over again, I shouldn’t be so reckless during my courtship days with promises of the things I would buy for her after marriage. I'd have more common sense and fewer electric motorcars and fur coats nnd servants and uulimlted charge accounts in my wooing.”—Detroit Free Press. Cynical. Two actors were discussing their ideas of marriage. At the seventh wedding breakfast of the first actor the other, who had himself been married six times, said: “Well, old man, I thought you had learned by this time that a marriage is nothing but a sentence of hard labor for life.” “Yes,” said the other actor, “but it's a sentence that you van get commuted by bad behavior.”—Exchange. We Remember. Bacon—lt is said that tin is used to weight silk to such nn extent that many a woman's dress would assay as highly as what often is considered good tin ore. Egbert—Yes, and then the women got a lot of “flu" out of our clothes, too, you must remember.Yonkers Statesman. Same Power. “I have tribute to my [lowers as an actor. 1 can draw tears from men and women alike any time by working on their feelings.” “Humph! I can do that too.” “On the stage?” “No, in my office. I’m a dentist.”— New York American. His Bread and Butter. “I met Bitters' wife yesterday. Talks all the time, doesn't she?” “Yes.” "I have never heard Bitters complain about it.” “He'd better not. She supports him by lecturing.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Wanted Her to Have the Best. Nell—Rather conceited, isn’t lie? Belle —I should say. He said the best was none too good for me, and then he pro-' posed.—Philadelphia Record. Innocence is better than repentance, an unsullied life better than pardon.— Binney,
