tonal headed “two funerals.” It referred to the pomp tlorul offerings and laif^e attendance at the funeral of the late Bishop Kniikerhueker, of Indianapolis, comparing the elaborate obsequies to those of a child which was buried in Muir cie. The child’s parents were too poor to give it a public burial, and as the story runs the remains were hauled to a cemetery on a sled and buried in a cotlin built by the dead child’s father. The Journal made some good points on the management of funerals in general, but now it appears that the story ol the child’s burial was all a fake engineered by one of those enterpris j iug special correspondents. Those correspondents are romancers, it seems.

The republican legislature makes its bow tomorrow.

Tin: best currency scheme we know of is to pay the printer. None of our local democrats need go to Indianapolis tomorrow to the Jackson banquet to find out how the landslide occurred. They know enough about it now.

Says the Globe-Democrat-. Eng land might be willing to sell Newfoundland to the United States, as its prosperity seems to depend on close business relations with this country. The population of this oldest of English colonies is 200,000, its dibt If 10,00“,Of"i, and its bunks are all broken. The island will have to be placed on the bargain counter to tempt Uncle Sam in the present condition of his finances.

up the lamentation that advertising never pays. The truth is he don’t know what it is to advertise. He never did any advertising. It takes more thought to take care of the advertising department of a business than it does to buy goods. He never used a thimble full of brains in preparing Ids advertisements, who declares “It never pays to advertise.” In fact he only shows his own lack of ability in getting up matter tor the space lie bought. It is brains that counts in advertising. It requires no brains to put a card in a paper like this, JOHN JONES, GROCER A merchant must have something to say and then take space enough to say it so that people will see it. The enterprising merchants adver tise by changing the displays in their show windows. They also keep up with the times in the matter *ot newspaper display. If a merchant is too busy to give thought to Ids newspaper ads., he should hire some bright fellow to make a study of his business and keep the newspupifrs teeming with attractive matter. Our merchants can draw more trade to Greencastle this year than they ever did if they will get their prices to the drawing point and then keep the newspapers full of live reading matter about their business. Try it and see.

William E. Curtis, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record, gives an instance of an old soldier, who, after having been in the treasury department for more than twenty-three years, received a New Year’s gift in the form of a reduction of his salary from $1,800 to $840 a year. There is no question about his qualifications or industry, but he is a republican and bis plate was wanted by a democrat. As a special favor he will be allowed to continue the same work he always performed at less than half his former salary. 1 am told that when he went to the chief clerk’s office and asked an explanation of this extraordinary treatment, Logan Carlisle replied : “This is a cold winter. You belter not kick."

Don't neglect your advertising* When you buy space in the newspapers, see to it that your advertisements are fresh and entertaining. Tell the news about your business and be assured the people will read what you have to say and will patronize you. Don’t run a Christmas ad. till the 4th of July or people will take you for a fossil and avoid your store. Money is wasted by the merchant in buying space that he does not cultivate. He is like the farmer that buys a tield, plants it and goes off and leaves it. He will be a disappointed man when he comes to harvest his crop. He will most likely say that farming does not pay. So with the merchant who buys space and does not cultivate it. He alwajs sets

The American Economist speaking of the New York ^’.'n quotes its utterances of December 31 as follows: The Wilson tariff was enacted on August 28. The wool schedule takes effect tomorrow. At a time when Mr. Cleveland is scurrying about to find money to meet the ordinary expenses of the government, the woo! schedule comes as a reminder of the fatuous and fatal policy of Mr. Cleveland in throwing away revenue and then being forced to borrow money. Free coal and free iron would accompany free wool, if Mr. Cleveland could have his way. Thus he industriously knocks holes in the constitution, the democratic platform and the treasury. The democratic party is broken, the treasury is on the road to bankruptcy, the constitution, aw [expounded at Chicago, is a rag to tread on. but we have got a bastard i protection and the income tax. The ! tartfi for revenue only and the ! money it would have produced we i have not got; but Mr. Cleveland ! likes to borrow.

Here’s a Hot One. Muncle News. The Sun learns that the local managers of tile Jackson banquet are having some trouble in arranging a program for the occasion. With its breast full of the milk of human kindness, this paper is willing to give the worried gentlemen its assistance. For instance, it suggests a program like tins: Prayer—Bill Myers. Song—“Ain’t 1 mighty glad I’m out of the wilderness,” by Claude Matthews. Oration—“How it feels to be a has-been.” by ex-Gov. Campbell. Speech—“The flip tiap in politics,” by Dan Voorhees. Poem—Owed to the democratic party, “With all your false, I love you still,” by Tom Taggart. Reverie—“Only a little faded flower,” by W. 1). Bynum. Oration—“How to be great, though small,” Burke Coekran. Song—“Waiting, only waiting,” by Gil Shanklin. Poem, in dialect—“When the frost is on us pumpkins,” by Congressman Brookshire. Chorus, all hands—“We may be happy yet. hut it don’t go now— See? Benediction—Tim Gritlin. That Bear Story. Brazil Times. Detective Furlong yesterday made an investigation of the story that the crowd of Polish Jews, re-' cently in camp just east of the city, had cut up the corpse of a baby and fed it to the bears. Pat went over the camp which was vacated some time ago, the party leaving the country, and made a careful ex i amination, finding no human bones or other evidences of the inhuman- j ity spoken of. How the rumor orig-' inated is not known, but such was j the case notwithstanding. If such an act was committed the parties well covered all traces of it and made good their escape. Many citizens of the neighborhood professed never to have even head the rumor, while others say they did hear, but were either atraid or did not believe it.

The Indianapolis Journal of J Sunday contained a column edi

An old-fashioned sea story full of interest and adventure, with a strong love motive, is begun by W. Clark Russell in the January Cosmopolitan. “Quida” succeeds Froude, Gosse, Lang, and other iiislingui»h. d writers with an instalment of the “Great Passions of History” series, which has been appearing in the Cosmopolitan. A discussion is aroused by Mr. Edward Bok’s a tiele on "The Young Man and the Church,” which will consume tons of ink before it is settled. Just preceding the famous Charcot’s death he prepared an article for the Cosmopolitan on Pasteur, to be published after Pasteur’s death. But Charcot has died first, and so with the consent of Charcot’s executors, the article is given now. The present “Theatrical Season in New York” is critically considered by Mr. James S. Metcalfe, editor of I ife, and there are stories by Tourgee, Howells, and the famous French writer, l- rancois t 'oppe.

ON ST. JACKSON’S EVE. I>«‘iniMTRry in h li,,l,-ini liil,‘iuiiiii in till. Iii-i-ary 1 (•■moi-rntii Dlntrlct. Democracy in Putnam is in a dickens of a shape just now, on the eve of St. Jackson’s day, an occasion when it is supposed all democrats, living and dead, get together in their respective realms ami make merry, tell how it was done tn thej past, and how it will be done in the ^ future. In Putnam the sharp wedge driven home last November] by the sturdy blows of the wideawake republicans made a crack that is widening into a crevice that bids fair nevet to heal. Local democracy is split clear up the back. This is evident upon all sides. There is fur ot all kinds to be rubbed in the court house, and if any of it is brushed the wrong way, then out come tales of woe similar to an eletric tingle from a cat’s centre board. This morning the Banner Times made two rubs. To one prominent democrat it said: “Who is going to the St. Jackson banquet tomorrow?” The reply was: “Well, I see by one ol the democrat papers that F\ D. Ader will head the Putnam delegation. Well, you can just tell the dear people that Air. Ader may head a delegation, but it won’t be the Putnam delegation by a sight. Mr. Ader isn’t leading us now days, and there is a strong probability that he will not only he the head of a delegation but also its tail. If any Putnam people go, there will be two delegiftions.” “This matter of a new superintendent of the poor farm is causing a tempest in our democratic teapot,” said another prominent democrat. “It is this way: George Shoptaugh has made a good superintendent, but there is a dark laid plot to get rid of him. Willis Mark, of Cloverdalo township, is an applicant tor the position, and he is a brother-in-law of Sam Fanner. one of the commissioners. There, you see, is a wheel within a wheel. The scheme to bounce Shoptaugh and put in Mark was concocted at the last meeting of the commissioners, and it was verbally agreed between two of them that the present superintendent’s head was to fall in the basket. The scheme to thus put inofficial power a relative of one of the commis sioners is now public talk, and it is creating a great stink. Men without party affiliation condemn the deep-laid plan, and the two scheming commissioners are coming in for a deal of denunciation. It’s a dirty outrage in my opinion.” All the above was told the Banner Times without reservation, and that on St. Jackson’s eve! Shades of democracy, where art thou! y the way, what’s the matter with having a Lexow for Putnam county?

Lowell, Mass.: “I had kidney trouble and severe pains In my back, which was brought about by a cold contracted while in camp at Llnnflcld In IttiS. I have been troubled more or less since that time and have been unable to do any heavy work, much less any lifting. I received only temporary relief from medicines. Last spring 1 had an attack of the grip, which left me with A Bad Cough, Very Weak physically. In fact my system was completely rundown. I tried a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it made me feel so much better that I continued Liking it. and have taken six bottles.

Popular Customs In Portugal. Before the feasts of St. Anthony, St. John, St. Peter and St. Paul, which are recognized as puhiio holidays, the women belonging to the working class carry their babies to the public fountains and wash the heads of the httfe creatures as a preservative against fever. Moreover, the young women set fire to the blossom of an artichoke, and if it opens again the next morning they conclude that their lovers are true. They also drop a coin into water and give it the following day to a poor man, at the same time inquiring his Christian name. Each maiden is persuaded that this name corresponds with that of her future husband. She then throws a shoo down the stairs, and as many steps as it descends so many years will she have to wait till she is married. Another custom is that of breaking an egg in water, the person’s destiny being determined by the shape it has assumed by tiie m xl morning. I* the egg represents a church, the wedding will come off in the same year. If it takes the form of a ship, the future husband will be a sailor, but if it presents the appearance of a coffin there will be a death in the family before the yiuir is out.— Pimpao.
