A good story is being told upon a certain young man in our city who was very much surprised the other evening while the guest of his sweetheart. He proposed to her and instead of saying “It is so sudden,” she said “It’s about time.” Al our latest it is bard telling whether it will be a wedding or a breach-of-promise suit. The gardens at the government station in Jeffersonville have aoded another product to those of Indiana. It is a fine crop of bananas, raised this year on stake kept in the gardens. The fruit is well developed as any from the south, and tastes much better than the green picked and shipped articles. These are probably the first bananas ever ripened in this state. The Kansas City Journal says: “A Kansas farmer who simply could not get harvest hands, put this sign on bis fence: ‘Harvest hands wanted. Hired girl blonde and genial. Cabinet organ music in the evening. Pie three times a day. Three spoons of sugar with every cup of coffee. Hammocks, featherbeds or leather divans at your option for sleeping. Rising hour 9 o’clock in the morning. Three hours rest at noon. Come one, come all.’ ” An exchange relates a story connected with a Wabash female bicyclist which sounds rather fishy, but nevertheless it may be true. The lady cyclist in question, accompanied a wheeling party to a heighboring town and when a few miles out from Wabash she fell behind. Iler companions returned to her to find out what was wrong. They found her on her knees in the

road, with her pump, presumably pumping up a tire. But she had run over a toad and flattened him like a pancake, when her womanly heart began to cry out in pity and she got her bicycle pump, inflated the toad, and after thanking her it hopped off as if nothing had occurred. •4John Koper, a Pulaski county farmer, has two pet biacksnakes that he has taught io do many of the chores about the farm. Besides taking the cows to pasture and bringing them back, gathering ben’s eggs and loading hay, they keep the farm entirely clear from mice. They are now being taught to slop the hogs and pick fruit. This hardly seems creditable but the Winamac Republican is auihonty for the statement. Somebody says that onions eaten just before retiring are a great help to digestion. We tried it and about two o’clock dreamed that a firey-red dragon with a peagieen tail and eyes as big as soup plates was carving us up with a meat saw and sword. We finally awoke to find our good wife fanning us with a bed slat and trying to get the baby out ot the coal scufle, where we put it to keep the firey dragon from getting it. Away onions. Give us prunes. At this season of the year milk sickness is prevalent among cattle, and a recipe is given by the late A. L. Crasley of Wisconsin, who was one of the best known dairymen ot the country, will be appreciated. It is guaranteed as a sure cure if given in time, and is as follows: One half pint of coal oil, and one-half pint of melted lard, and one quart of sweet milk mixed together and given by drenching. Repeat in two hours if necessary. As a rule one dose will effect a cure. The Anderson News proposes the name ot lion. Hugh Daugherty of Bluffton as state treasurer on the democratic ticket next year. It says ot him with truth that he is an up-to-date democrat and a strong advocate of the white metal. He has been connected with the state central committee during the last twenty years, and is one of the best organizers in Indiana. He was a gallant union soldier. In the campaign of 1896 he stumped Indiana for Bryan. His time and means have always been contributed to the ; cause ot democracy. —Kokomo Dis- | patch. The nomination of the Ohio dem ocrats of Horace L. Chapman, for governor calls to mind the expression which is said to bave been the origin of the use of the crowing rooster as an emblem ot democratic victory at the polls. Some time in the 50’s the Indianapolis Sentinel, the democraticlorgan ot the Indiana democracy, was owned and edited by George A. and Jacob I’. Chapman. As the story goes, on the flagstaff ot the Sentinel office was placed a large weathercock to indicate which way the wind was blowing. After an election in which the democracy in the state had been successful, a friend, in writing to congratulate the editors on the effective work they had done during the campaign, added, “Crow, Chapman, Crow!” alluding to the rooster on the flagstaff. After that “Crow, Chapman, Crow!” became the democratic slogan, and finally resulted in the adoption by mutual consent of the rooster as the symbol of the democratic party. A Remarkable Cure of Clironle Diarrhoea. In 1862, when I served my country as a private in Company A, 167th Pennsylvania Volunteers, I contracted chronic diarrhoea. It has given me a great deal of trouble ever since. I have tried a dozen different medicines and several prominent doctors without any permanent relief. Not long ago a friend sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after that I bought and took a 50 cent bottle; and now I can say that I am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful enough to you for this great’Remedy, and recommend it to ah suffering veterans. If in doubt write me. Yours gratefully, Henry Steinberger. Allentown, Pa. Sold by Smith <fc Callow. a It is always gratifying to receive testimonials for Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedy, and when the endorsement is from a physician it is especially so. “There is no more satifactory or effective remedy than Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,” writes Dr. R. E. Roby, physician and pharmacist; of Olney, Mo.; and as he has used the Remedy in his own family and sold it in his drug store for six years he should certainly know. For sale bv Smith & Callow. a
