Family Ro-unlon 8L One of the most pleasant occasions of the season was the annual re union, of the Hart family, at the residence of Mr. Philip Koos, in St. Marys Tp, this Co., Thursday Sept, 28th.

They have an organization with President Secretary and Treasurer; Mr. S. HarUof near Columbia City Ind., being President. The family from which, these members have sprung originally consisted of iifteen members of which only seven are living, and of which only one was present on this occasion, the youngest, he being near seventy years of age, the other members being retained at home on occount of ago and infirmity. Ono Mr. George Hart an old resident of Union Tp. this county being nearly eighty years, is blind and somewhat deaf. The relationship now consists of over one hundred of which about seventy were present on this occasion.

The Secretary then read the report of the last meeting, which was he’d near Hicksville. Ohio, after appointing two committees, one on memorials, and the other to select a time ami place for the next reunion, and music by the Harrison Tp. brass band they adjourned for dinner.

And Mr. Joseph Foster, of Warren. Ohio, also made a few remarks. The first committee reported Mr. J. S Hart's near Hicksville, as the place for the next reunion. After benediction by Rev.

They Cost Money. “I want you to figure a little for me ” said a Second avenue wife to her husband as she brought him pencil and pa per. He looked at her suspiciously as. be made ready, and a close observer would have noted signs of grim determination around his mouth. “I want," she said, as she looked into the far-away purple of sunset, “’about two bushels of peaches.” “Yes.” “And one of pears ” “Yes.” t . . “’I might possibly get along with half a bushel of plums, but I want at least a bushel of Siberian crabapples.” “Anything else?” •‘Ohl yes. I must have citrons, tomatoes. cauliflower and cucumbers.” “I've got it down, but where does the figuring come in?” “I want you to figure, as near as you can, on the cost of all these, together with ten dozen-gla-s cans, a-bushel of currants, fifty tumblers, with sugar, vinegar and spices enough to preserve all the fruit.” He was a lightning calculator. In thirty seconds he had added up a col umn of figures, tacked on Hl per cent for his commission breakage. ‘‘What!” she gasped as she received thp paper and glanced at the figures —’‘you don't ineijin $3,225.40!” “Certainly I do,” he replied as lie picked up his newspaper again. “But we can’t.spare that to put up souce for the winter.” t “Just as you think. We can sell our home for $5,000 and put $3.225,44L into preServes, or we can keep our home and fill the vacuum with prunes and evaporated apples. Go over tiie figures yourself.” She took the paper and began to figure on her own. account, but after raising the total $875 she went out in the kitchen and told the girl that as there would be no- doing up fruit this year she might have a week's vacation.” I’iibl|c Mule.
