Steele. Charles Workinger hauled two loads of fine hogs to market last week. The unexpected storm of last week found a number of our people with corn lying out and no wood up.

Davis' house is fast nearing completian, and adds greatly to its appearance and usefulness. The schools of Blue Creek township are enjoying a two weeks vacation, thus giving the farmers a chance to use their boys in corn husking. Everybody should watch and see the stars fall next week.

An old gentleman living on Walnut Hills with his grandchildren was left at home with two servants one evening. The old man retired early, so did the servants, and when the gentleman and his wife returned from the theater they found that the house bad been entered and robbed. The mutter was reported to the police, and an account of the robbery appeared in the next morning’s papers. The old gentleman had slept through it all. and the next morning he hied himself to Kaps’ barber shop, near Peebles Corner, to be shaved, ignorant of the fact that the bouse bad been robbed. ••I sec." said the loquacious Kaps as he stropped his razor, "that thieves broke in your bouse." ••When?" gasped the old gentleman. "Last night," was the answer. "I read nil about it in the morning's paper.” The old fellow arose from the chair, hastily wiped the lather from bis face and left the shop as fast as bis rheumatic legs would carry him to see about the robbery.—Cincinnati Enquirer. They Drink Chian;;. The Philadelphia Record quotes an Intelligent Italian workman as follows: "They tell you that no one ever gets drunk in Italy, and you find it liard to believe, because you often see us immigrants pretty well jiggered over here. But it is a fact In Italy no one gets drunk —only sick. That Chiauta they have there is harder to drink than water—yes. than salt water—and though you have the best Intentions in the world, your stomach rebels against It before you get the least bit gay. Many a time on lovely Sunday mornings I have reclined on the grassy slope of a mountain in the shade of an olive tree with a gallon jug of Chianti by my side, and I have tried my level best to empty that jug. but in vain. Always I’d lug It back home with me, only quarter empty, and instead of feeling happy Pd have the cramps.”
