Following this telegraph blarflts were handled each member and a telegram was written out of their own names, and read. This caused a great deal of merriment.

It has been the custom heretofore to hold the books open a few days, often times two weeks, and allow payments to be made without a penalty.

THE MULE IN THE JUG. ' An Arab Proverb and the Legend That Gave It Birth. Who can affirm that the mule entered the jug? This proverb is frequently quoted to show that, though one may conscientiously believe in a thing which may seem extravagant in itself, it is better not to repeat it from 'ear of being disbelieved. It arises from the following Arabic legend: An Arab who denied the existence of genii once bought a mule and took it home. When performing his evening ablutions, he saw the mule enter a jug. and this so scared him that he ran shouting to the neighbors and told them what he had seen. They, thinking him mad, endeavored to appease him, but all In vain. He vociferated more and more, so that the authorities sent him to the madhouse. When the doctor came to see him, he repeated the account of what he had seen, whereupon the doctor ordered him to be detained. He contini ued upon each visit of the doctor to repeat his statement until his friends : succeeded in persuading him that if he ' wished to regain his freedom he must | recant. This he did. and the doctor set him at liberty, to the great joy of his family and friends, bn making his ablutions as before he again saw the mule, this time peeping out of the jug, but on this occasion he fomented himself with remarking to the mule: “Oh, yes, I see you well enough, but who would believe me? And I have had enough of the madhouse." Needless to *ay that the genii to avenge themselves for his disbelief In them had transformed one of themselves into a mule and as such entered the jo®— Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx.

A BOOKING XTfXU. Ntov York's Souvenir oi the Vemohe Glacial Period.

That pinkish bit of granite, weighing thirty tons, standing seven and oaebaif feet above its rocky base, being ten feet, broad and eight feet thicls, oame from the far north* carried to the resistless icy arms of the glacier that swept over the continent dowa to this latitude, marking its path by de pesitlng great bowldews as it moved and leaving sei itches o« the firm rochabeneath, from the sliding, geindisg bit-s a-ad masses of granite that settled to its base aa< wtw pushed alctag as It moved.

USED A REVOLVER Shocking Affair Occurred on the Six O'Clock Car Last Evening Worry over the death of his father and mother during the past year brought a nervous affection upon Louis Rioter, which resulted in his taking his own life aboard a north bound Fort Wayna & Springfield interurban car at six o’clock Friday night near Middletown. He was a son of Uncle Deitrick Rioter and was born and reared ■ in the north part of Adamo county. A few years ago he went to Fort Wayne and secured a position as driver of the hose wagon at the No. S fire engine house. He was sobgr, honest, faithful and soon became one of the best men on the force, admired and respected by the hundreds who knew him. He was thirty-five years old and leaves a devotetf wife and three children, one a babe but thre<» weeks old. The mother of Louis died a few months ago and his father a year ago. Worry over the settlement of the estate is said to have caused his health to fail rapidly and for sevens! weeks he has been unable to sleep. His mind became attested and it is thought he must have contemplated taking his life as he prepared by arming himself with a revolver. He secured a leave of ab-

sense from his work last Sunday and Friday morning, accompanied by bis three-year-old son het came to this county to visit his brothers. He boarded the six o’clock car that evening at Reiter’s lane, accotnpaniedi by his brother Hepry, to return horns, Ills son remaining in the country. Re was nervous, so much so that be attracted the attentioa of other parties in the car. As told by a passenger on the car the sad affair occurred thus: “It was about eight miles Ahls side' of Decatur, as well as I can remember, whqp I ireard a shot fired, followed bx another in a second or two. I paid, no attention to th« shots until a young woman sitting near me leanfed over and the whether I had heard them. I replied that it ~ have been some fwmer shooting, for > though I had seen Reiter get up and ■ go out on the bwefit platform it never ) once occurred to me that he l»*d shot himself. ‘ “Whe* we ha-d reached Nine Bile ' the conductor came from the front e*d , to the rear of the car, kiteeding, I ber lieve, to furn a switch. Whe* he f- .reaclj««i ’ the pear platform he saw Reiter’sitting on the fiooj-, his head 1 doubled over on his chest. He ran to * the frant to tte morormar and ceiled 'Ed, come back hCre. Stop the c*r anti , come back.’ Befoie tie motormsn > could get rb the platform I had run r together with several others, -and I saw Reiter jhst as the, conductor hsd’ said, doubled qp in the corner with his hat on the Jioor betide him. “We looked for the revolver and the conductor found*it in the man’s coat , pocket on the right hand side. When : we got to Reiter's side he w&s not. dead. I watched him in a sort of fascination and he breathed five times after we saw him. His coat was on fire and the conductor smethered the smoldering flames.

“The pistol was of thLrty<wo caliber and the magazftie had two empty shells in it. I saw two holes in the left side of the man’s coat within an inch of each other and they seoned to <ne to be right over his heart.” Conductor Gerke telephoned t® Decatur at 'once and the officials here notified the’ Fort Wayne authorities and the car was met there by the coroner and chief of police and the body taken to the Klaehn & Mulching undertaking establishment. News of the affair were scon received here andcaused many expressions of regret, Reiter beftg well tnown. Besides kis wife and children the de ceased is survived by five brothers, Herman and Hbnvy of this county. William and Charles of Allen county, Frederick, q* Ranville, Minn., and Mrs. Prang, of Fort Wayne. He was a second cousin of J. D. Rieter of this city. * HAD A GRAND TilftS. A Number of People Who Attandsxi Teachers’ Meeting Returned. Messrs. F. V. Mills, A. H. Sellemeyer and Prof. L. E.Opliger returned Friday night from Indianapolis, where they were in attendance at the Northern Indiana Teachers’ association meeting and they declare that it was the best j ever. All of the schools in the north-, ern part of the state were well represented and most interesting sessions ensued. Able speakers, including the Dean of Princeon, and Dr. Eliot, discussed important subjects. A special train will convey the Decatur teachers to Fort Wayne this evening at about six o’clock and they will return via the interurban. — — —-O'- 1 ~ J. D.
