"Whereas, Albert Bruno Be.z.el, a product of Celina, as manager -rs the Indianapolis American Association base ball team has just been exceedingly successful in bringing his team home in front and winning the pennant in the American. Association, and “Whereas, we have always had the highest respect for Bruno Betzel both as a baseball player and as a man, we are proud of the glory that he has brought upon himself through hard efforts, as well as the distinction that he has brought upon his home community- through his success in the great American game. “Now.

rsign Kcvercnce uiven India's Holy Milkmen A certain tribe of southern India, file Todas, regard their purveyors of milk ns holy men. The chief of these Is the Holy Milkmttn. who has an official residence, the Snored Dairy, v’tdch he Is not allowed to leave dur Ing Ids term of cfilce. The Holy Milkloan, moreover. Is usually n bachelor; If he married before being appointed to Ids high omce, he must leave bis wife and devote himself entirely to observing the stringent rites of the til Dairy. t ordinary person may touch him. to do so would detile bls exalted Jllce and he would be compelled to resign. Another restriction Is that Holy Milkmen must not be spoken to except on Mondays nnd Thursdays. On other days, tiny message must he shouted from h considerable distance. The dairy temples nre usually built In conical form, and the milkmanpriest must always sleep In the cowhouse. a draughty structure with a small fireplace. There is no door to the dairy, and a Holy Milkman Is allowed to wear only one coarse robe. When he Is eating. Ids hand must not touch his lips, and to prevent this the milkman throws Ids food into his mouth. When drinking, he must hold the vessel aloft nnd pour the liquid down his throat as from a tap.

Shingles Long in Use as Building Material To the materials in most common use nnd particularly those constantly before us we give perhaps less thought than to those which are so common but which have been more recently brought to onr notice, because of the new properties they may possess, or because of a supposed need they may seem to till. Shingles, for example, are one of the oldest of our building materials, having been in constant use in this, country for nearly 300 years. Because of the great demand for them the old methods of manufacture have long since been done away with and have been replaced by the use of the most modern machinery. Shingles were first derived from the solid wood and later split in order to obtain a straight and more even grain. Now they are manufactured in a most scientific and economical manner. Found Few Boyhood Joys .lames Gibbons Huneker, the American author, music and dramatic critic enjoyed the present even to the exclusion of boyhood memories. “Happy days?" he questioned of them in his “Steeplejack.” “Not a bit of it. I haled them then and I look back to them with a sense of relief that they are over and done with. Often I wished that my childhood could be abolished. I envied my elders; envied their freedom from constructive criticism, from bullying, from flogging, and a hundred other cruel impediments between my wishes nnd their fulfillment.” Huneker added, “I was like other boys of my age and enjoyed myself out of school, but study killed the joy of living.”—Detroit News.

Catching a Bird Little Margaret was found playing in the back yard with her grandmother's best salt shaker. Margaret's mother a«ked what she was doing. ‘‘l'm going to catch a bird,” she replied. ‘‘Surely you don't think you can sprinkle salt on a bird's tail and catch tlie mother said. Rut Mr. B— told us kids that we ild sprinkle salt on a bird's tail and atch It and lie wouldn’t tell a lie for no bird,” Margaret insisted. “Why, Margaret, that’s impossible.” "Well, hasn't Aunt Carolyn a bird In a cage, and how did she get it?” Noisy One day a woman who owns a small restaurant served dinner to a man and his wife. The man was deaf. In the midst of the meal, the owner of the restaurant noticed that the woman wrote a message on the order pad and passed it over to her husband. She felt that some comment had been made on the food which had been served. After the guests had left, she reai) the slip of paper that had been left behind and found this: "Don't stir your ice tea so hard. It sounds as if you were beating a cake.” Short Memory A well-known man spent an hour in conference with an oil magnate. His secretary finally came in to remind him that a number of visitors hud been waiting a long time. The financier decided to go out and apologize for delaying them. He was followed to the outer room by the man with whom he had been in conference, and in making th<» rounds came to him, shook his hand, said lie was sorry lie kept him waiting, and that lie was very happy to see him. Little of Secret Left Loren, who had been visiting bls grandparents for the summer, got a present of a puppy as a playmate He could not help but write tils mothci about it but still wished to surprise her when he got home so lie wrote: "I have a surprise for you when 1 gel home, but I vffh’t tell you what It Is. until I ge home. But I am going to tell you just one little thing about It. it barked all last night and kept us awoke.'’ - .
