Plenty and to Spare. In a brief conversation with the head es Decatur’s great importers and exporters of fine horses, Frysinger. Gerber & Sprunger, we learn that they are besieged with buyers for all kinds of horses from a yearling roadster to the finest and best bred in the land. They are supplying many eastern buyers but here of late they are coming too fast and furious, and some of them are necessarily turned to the wall. They have sold twelve of their fine imported stallions, but have in the meantime bought a few new ones which are being shaped up for the market. In all probability the coming summer will see the horse market at its best. The Great Northern. Tom H. Harris, secretary of the Great Northern Fair association came in this morning and verified our previous report of the good time enjoyed at the state fair meeting hed at Indianapolis last week. Tom was in the thick of the fight and stayed until the last dog was hung. The dates of next year’s exhibit, September 22, 23, 24 and 25 did not interfere with any other fair dates, so the big exhibit of 1903 will come off at the time agreed upon, stormes, cyclones and other fatalities to the contrary notwithstanding. Marbles Support a State. It is said that the making of marbles, so dear to the heart of the small boy, is the main support of the poor in the state of Thuringia, Germany. They gather small square stones and grind them in machines similar to coffee mills until they are rounded. "Commies," agates and "bullseyes" are made in that way. Glass alleys with the varicolored streaks in them are blown by the glass blowers of Lanscha. They take bits of white, red and blue glass and blow them together into a twist. A Dangerous Toy. "My boy Sammy," said the neighbor, "worries me almost to death with his somnambulism." "You ought to take it away from him," said Mrs. Lapsling. "He'll kill himself with it some day."-Chicago Tribune.

Why is it, asks an exchange, that a woman can struggle until she is red in the face and worn out both in temper and body by a window in a railroad train in her vain endeavors to close or open it when all that a man has to do is to walk up and go over exactly the same line of action that she has already exhausted, and down comes the refractory window in a jiffy? It is a most humiliating fact, but a very true one, nevertheless, that not five women out of a dozen ever succeed in arranging a window to their satisfaction. They pull and tug until they are embarrassed and finally in a pleading manner look around at some slip of a man, who without any nonsense brings about the desired effect, while the woman looks on in silent wonder at his marvelous skill and dexterity. The Lord's Intermediary. Along [] that Deacon Jones had accumulated as the leading grocer of Gooseville Cove, his bump of self esteem, which was

originally fairly large, had increased proportionately, until, as the richest man in the Cove, he felt himself entitled to considerable deference—its patron saint, in fact. When one day g() old Parson Abbeck went to him for a subscription to home missions—which he got—he remarked, "Deacon, I cannot help noticing that your fellow citizens seems to hold you in high esteem." "Waal, yis," replied the deacon complacently, "guess that's 'bout so. The Covers do look up to me, parson, that's a fact; and I—well, I look up to God!"— New York Times. The Results Unpleasant.
