THE SQUARE MAN.— DECATUR, INDIANA I

“A Wise Woman” comes to the opera house next Tuesday Sept. 2nd. Farmers say that quail in most parte of the county are more plentiful than they were last year and hunters thought there were many then. The game laws make the hunting season so short that in a few more years the "bob whites” will be a common bird again unless severe winters kill them off. One of the acts of the last legislature makes it unlawful for non-resi-dents to hunt in the state without a license. An exchange says: “Kill your dog and buy a pig with the dollar you eave on the tax. The scraps you feed the dog would make the pig weigh three hundred pounds, and then you could sell it and give your wife the money.” Yes, kill your dear old faithful, mindful, thankful, trustful dog and buy a pig. But when you come home after a hard day s toil don’t expect that same pig to meet you two blocks away with a joyful little cry of welcome at every jump. Kurt Johnson of this city will perform a daring feat at Bluffton tonight, making a balloon ascension and parachute drop after dark. He will carry with him a supply of fire works which is to be discharged at a height of 2.000 feet in the air. Vessels containing red fire are to be atttached to thetrapeseto light up the balloon and the parachute. It is claimed that there is more danger at night because the dampness of the air may keep the parachute from opening. The ascension will be made from the court house square, a patent intlater being list'd to fill the balloon. When you and I were boys, John, full many years ago, women wore their breast-pins at their necks. Time passed, as time will, and there came a day when the breast-pin was worn at the waist. Then came the straight front corset with improvements on the human form divine, and as the waist described a \ , the breast pin moved South. Later it jumped to the back of the head under pretense of holding the hair in place. Then it dropped to the center of the waist behind to hold tlie belt. Later it shone at the back of the neck, and recently it has' apajieared in the neighborhood of the afternoon. Such gyrations and rapid movements are very confusing togood men; and those who dictate these things must be appealed to, or measures will be taken and an injunction asked. Fashion is competitive imitation. A woman who wears upon her hat a bunch of grapes, seven roses and a lark, where before were only two ostrich feathers and a blue jay is a true leader of fashion. Fashion keeps a going one better until things get to perihelion, then she swings back to another extreme and begins again.

A Filippino Exhibit of Bambo. Judging from the exhibit that the U. S. government will make at the Great Northern Indiana Agricultural Fair, at Decatur Indiana, the average Filippino who desires to set up housekeeping, needs but little more than a bolo and a convenient patch of bamboo. If he wishes a new house, he betakes himself to the bamboo thicket, and finds therein all his framing, studding, rafters, etc., all except the roof, and that he makes of palm leaves. For furniture the bamboo is again his recourse. His beds, posts, sides, springs, canopy, all bamboo. The baby's hammock is bamboo. The chest in which his wife keeps her clothing, the cupboard for food, the table from which he eats, the chair on which he sits —bamboo, only bamboo. Does he go a fishing, he makes a net of bamboo, poles his boat with bamboo, and brings his catch in a bamboo basket. If his wife brings water from the well she uses a large section of the bamboo, sawed to the proper length, and has a pitcher that breaks not. Hats of the finest bamboo, splits and infinite variety of baskets, are the other uses of the many to which this valuable plant is put by our Filippino householder. What he would do if suddenly transported to a land in which there is no bamboo, we know not. but he certainly learned to utilize it to the fullest extent in his own land. Geo. Tricker.
