D. E. Studabaker while at Fort Wayne Sunday saw the West point cadets who stopited there for supper, enroute to the St,Louis fair. There were 617 in the party as tine looking young men as can be found on the face of the earth. They were faultlessly dressed in gray uniforms and every movement was precise. They traveled on a special train over the Wabash. Mrs J. Q. Neptune entertained thirty of her lady friends Thursday afternoon at five o’clock luncheon in honor of her cousin Mrs. B. Bowman of Celina, Ohio. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion and put on a very attractive appearance. A number of progressive games were in order and appropriate prizes were awarded on each event and the afternoon was thus most pleasantly spent. A team of horses hitched to a big wagon and owned by Fred Fuelling caused no end of excitement Thursday in the north end of town by running away. It seems that Air. Fuelling after driving to town stopped at the home of Andy Crunamacker on a little business and neglected to tie his team, and while at the house his team became frightened and started to run and it was a most wicked run away the big team tearing down street swinging from one side to the other and at any moment threatening pedesterian destruction. The team was given a through, right of way until they arrived at the People's Js Holthouse livery barn where they collided with a large wagon loaded with bolts which temporarily stopped them until helpers at the barn succeded in getting them under control, Fortunately fcowever no damage was done to the team or wagon. From all reports that we can gather Jthe informal J dance given last Wednesday evening by the C. B. L. club at the Lodge Room was more than a success. As near as can be estimated at least fifty [couple took advantage -of this opportunity to have an evening's enjoyment and were in attendance. At promptly eight thirty the grand march was started and from then on until a very late hour the dancers kept the musicians busy. Good old fashioned square dances were on the program and the voice of the caller could be heard time and time again, saying balance all four right and left and swing, and the merry laughter of the dancers. Andrew Schurger wis installed as caller and only owe thing can be said concerning him and that is that he is the best. | Ths music was furnished by Will 1 Smith and was fine. Will being able to play all the uptodate and catchy * anrs for an old fashioned dance. j <1 D Murray proprietor of the IM array Hotel Thursday let the contract for the steam heating of bis popular hostelry to Lehman dr Lee. The contract calls for a com- j plete and nptodate job and one that fl'ls all requirements. Toe work be done by the same parties who placed in the heating plant at the Catholic church which gave such complete satisfaction all last winter. Last winter Landlord Murray informed us that he had considerable trouble and expense in (getting the hotel at the proper temperature and many were the kicks registered to the clerk concerning cold rooms, and more for the comfort of his guests than anything else did he let this contract and fckus be on the safe side the coming winter. Mr Murray has also been ♦doing considerable other work in rha way of making his hotel more attractive, and when this steam heating job is completed he will have one of the most up to dat 2 hotels in northern Indiana. Work will be started as soon as the material and men can arrive which ■will not be later than two weeks.

The Arian quartet of which Rev. Pontius of this city is a member will appear at the Methodist church I in this city on the evening of June 9th. This quartet have the reputation of being the best in Indiana and the entertainment will be delightful. Rev. Pontius is a beautiful singer and his associates are equaally as good. Their appearance here will be a rare treat which you cannot afford to miss. An excange calls the attention of the public especially to the small boys that the penalty for killing song birds is severe one and the boys who have been guilty of the misdemeaaor may have theprivilege of paying for their fun. Killing song birds is a direct violation of the law, and it makes no difference whether the cffense is committed in town or country. Some boys in a ’ ?wn in the northern part of the state were arrested for killing robins and the sport cost them something over twenty _ dollars a piece. Frederick Slickman aged eighty five years died Saturday night at ten o'clock at his home in Preble township after four days illness, ■ from old age and other complications. Mr. Slick man was an old and esteemed citizen of this county having come here from the old i country when but a mere boy, and resided here ever since . He was a member of the German Reformed church near Mag ley and was an earnest and conscientious worker in its behalf. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at the Reform church at ten o’clock and interment was made in the Reform cemetery. A. Van C-amp who some time ago received the contract from the city council to furnish the new boilers for the water works plant informed us this morning that he had sent in an earnest and special request to the Altas Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis who received the contract from Mr. Van Camp for the construction of the same to rush the order and get the boilers here i as soon as possible as the plant here 1 is in serious need of the same, and the boilers that are now working ■ are entirely incompetent to carry the load that is required of thorn on account of their bad condition, hence the city is getting an inferior grade of lighting. He also stated ‘that the new boilers were of the -iwality and le and would (be the most complete ever set up iin the plant here and are guaranteed to give prefect satisfaction and good rosntls. They should arrive in the course of a few days

PRIMITIVE LETTER POET. The Earliest Postal Service Dates Baek to Babylonia. No postal service has been traced earlier than that which was in operation during the reign of Khammurabi, the Amraphel of Genesis, who was king of Babylonia about 2300 B. C. A number of the missives, each inclosed in its elay envelope, which passed through this earliest postotfiee are preserved in the Babylonian room of the British ; museum, and their contents indicate that even at that period letters were freely circulated throughout the empire by a publie postal service under governmental control. Sir Brian Tuke was appointed postmaster in England at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and in 1556 the lords of the council ordered “that the postes betweene this and the Norths should eehe of them keepe a booke and make entrye of every lettre that he shall receive, the tyme of the deliverie thereof unto his hands, with the parties' names that shall bring it unto him.’’ The first post for the conveyance of private letters to all parts of England and Scotland was started in 1635. when the “letter office" was established, but it was not till 1537 that the foundation I of the present system was laid. CURED OF HIS CLUB. The Way One Woman Kept Her Hn»band Home In the Evenings. “I would be very happy if my husband would not spend so many of his evenings at the club," said Mrs. Bride, with a sigh. "Why don't you try the suspicion cure?" said her intimate friend. “What is the suspicion cure?" asked Mrs. Bride. "Well, my husband once got into the habit of spending his evenings at his club, and I worried myself ill. Then I changed my tactics. Instead of asking him to remain at home 1 urged him to go to the elub. The way he raised his eyebrows the first time I suggested it showed that I was on the right track. "One night he said he had a severe headache and would remain at home. I opposed the idea and insisted that an evening at his club would make him forget bis headache. He gave me a hard look, but acted on the suggestion. I knew he would be back within an hour, so I made an elaborate toilet. He returned, as I expected, with the plea that his head was worse. I ignored his question concerning my elaborate toilet. He hasn't been away for an even- i ing since. It is almost like the old honeymoon, only he appears to have something on his mind." THE LOVING CUP. Its Origin Dates From the Aasaaataae tion of King Edward. The remote origin of the loving cup dates from the story of the assassina- | tion of Edward, king and martyr, who was stabbed in the back while drinking. It had been usual at feasts to pass round a large cup. which each, as he rose to drink, lifted with both hands, exposing his body to attack. This custom was altered, so that when one stood up to drink he who sat next became his “pledge" and also rose, drawn sword in band, to protect him. This practice in a modified form continued long after changed conditions of society had ceased to need it and was the origin of our custom of drinking healths and particularly of the ceremonial, preserved in almost its , primitive form, of passing round the loving cup. when, as each person rises ■ and takes the cup in his hand to drink. I the guest next to him also rises and grasps the second handle. Some authorities ascribe its origin to Margaret, consort of Malcolm, king of Scotland, and others to Henry of Navarre.—London Truth. Marriage In the lalea ot Greece. In Kaso. one of the most southern islands of Greece, the parents upon both sides take upon themselves all the responsibilities of courtship and marriage. Courtship, as we understand it. is not in any way permitted to the betrothed couple. No moonlight walks or tete-a-tetes are allowed. Such a course 1 would be deemed highly reprehensible, and all wooing, if there be any. must take place in the presence of the elders. But there is no great time for repining at these decrees of custom, for the marriage follows the offer as quickly as may be. Enjoy Advantages. “Mammy,” said Pickaninny Jim. i “what does ghos'es want to come back to dis yearth fob?" “Dat's a foolish question. Dey kin go whahebber dey wants wifout payin’ no house rent nor cah fare, an’ nobody can't shet ’em out. Sometimes I reckons dat ghos'es is de only folks dat re'ly enjoys life."—Washington Star. A Precaution. A fanner wrote to his lawyer as follows: "Will you please tell me where you learned to write? I have a boy I wish to send to school, and I am afraid I may hit upon the same school that you went to.” How He Won It. Goodson—lt was Lawyer Townsman that won my lawsuit for me. Simply— Why. I thought he was on the opposing side. Goodson—He was.—Tit-Bits. Waste of Words. Miss Withers—When Harold kissed me he told me that he loved me. The Friend — What a waste of words! — Town Topics. We hope nobody ever courted as they do on the stage.—Washington (la.) Democrat . Impatience and pride have destroyed me - - tt-ia
