There being more teamsters than the Yoder & Son’s stone crusher will keep engaged, David Sprunger who resides some six miles from the quarry, successfully took time by the forelock last week by driving to load in the evening, and there being no load ready he tied his horses to the wagon without hay and put up at the Widow Wood’s tavern, (which is all out of doors) without breakfast, but Dave got the early load in the morning. Suc-

cess always did follow perseverance, especially when followed by endurance. Some sixteen years ago a firm consisting of John Ensley and Benjamin and Abram Meschberger were engaged in the stone quarry business, and for cases of emergency they kept a quart bottle of alcohol in reserve. One day after the bottle had been replenished it was missing, and although diligent search was made recovery did not reward their labors. The late firm of Ensley & Meschberger while stripping last week along the west bank of the ancient quarry, exhumed from the depth of mud the long lost bottle intact. The boys deem it a valuable find and are using the contents in treatment for the eyes, it is worthy of mention. Two or three who lost the liquor are engaged in the present quarry, one of whom dug the flask from its issolated confinement. Berne Items. Dr. Franz was a caller at Decatur Tuesday.

Two young men who escaped the | hands of the law at Geneva Saturday after lieing arrested for selling liquor at the camping grounds, were re-ar-rested here in the evening by Marshal Burry white eating supper at the restaurant. They surely had not thought much of telephone service. If you feel sleepy, ill and bilious and wish to feel well, bright and wideawake use Dr. Sawyer's Little ' Wide Awake Pills.

Irreverence one ol Otir I’erlln. ••Mischievous is the irreverent and scornful use of the tongue that often vulgarizes the very temple of sweetness and purity.” writes Rev. Newell Dwight HUlis. D. D.. in The Ladies’ Home Journal. "No person of reflneI merit and culture can doubt that irreverence is one of the perils of our day. In former times men entered the cathedral, rich with colored glass, with marble and pictures and rare tapestries. to whitewash the frescoes, smash statues and use the paintings and tapestries for doormats. But it has been reserved for our generation to enter the temple of reverence to destroy all ideals, to rob the noble names cf their grandeur and the noblest places of their majesty. Today vulgarity permits sanctity to attach to few objects or ideas. In 1896, when Athens revived the Olympian games and America sent its representatives, there journeyed to that ancient land a vender of patent medicines, who was discovered sticking an advertisement of his porous plaster upon the walls of the Parthenon!" Whipped His Baby. Monroe Hedges. 106 years old. whipped bis 80-year-old son Hiram at ■ Indianapolis the other day and placed him in the hands of surgeons. The father lives in a little house in Anderson. Ind. He claims the distinction of ' being the man who drove the first spike on the first railway ever constructed in Indiana. His 89-year-old wife died recently. His strength and ■ metal activity are something marvelous. Hiram was one of the babies of the family. ' rpHIKTEEN’TH STREET SEWER NOTICE.
