After several calls the boy pok<sl his head around th< bam and said: ‘Do you want me. ma, or are you only j( s’ hollerin?” At Bluffton tomorrow an organization will lx- completi d for the establishment of a’ bank, which will do business in Ossian.

Th >y always retire all the employes in the fall except a few, and take them on again in the spring. The Daily Democrat of Decatur, wears new face since Monday, all because of that new Simplex type setteing machine which its publishers have placed in their establishment. The result is a very salutary’ improvement on the looks of the paper and it will not fail to do some successful wooing among the reading public of Adams county because of the improvement.—Berne, Witness. The carriers on the rural mail routes in Indiana are to have their duties increased if the present experiments carried on by the government are successful. The advisability* of having the carriers handle money’ orders is being considered and it is very probable that that feature will be added tojthe service. If it is so arranged the people of the rural routes will have all the advantages that the postal department of the Unite! States affords without going away from their farms. That strange paradox “every* thing is created for some good, ” was practically proven this afternoon in a runaway’ of the deliver team of J. D. Hale. The driven of the horses was loading coal on the wagon when the animals suddenly* started and dashed down Railroad street toward the Erie stock yards. They ran for some distance until they* struck the mud road, which stopped the horses quicker than an air brake. Ask the driver and he will say that the much worried over mud roads have advantages of their own. A meeting of the grain dealers of northern Indiana, was held at Fort ayne yesterday afternoon at four [o’clock. The meeting was to have : b een held at ten o'clock in the 1 morning but very few of the mem- | bers of the associiation bail arrived at that time and it was considered Ix'st to jtosptone the convention. The purpose of this association is ’ to bring grain dealers together, so as to discuss their needs in general and work as a bixly* in securing thepro- ; tection and advantage - they desire, i Considerable of yesterday's sesI sion was sjx'nt in talking over the ’ legislation which they have been after, that defines a more just relation between the railroad and the shippers. They have not received just what they want but are still active and will i ndeavor to have the present relation somewhat alleviat[ed. C. G. Egley of B< rne, is president of the association. SHINING STAND. Clarence Bachand has startl'd a shining stand at Fristoe's Smoke House and is ready to do business. Clarence is a bright gentlemanly little fellow, who recently* cam;' here from New York, where they shine shoes in Parisian fashion. He will appreciate any business that conies his way. Q a nda. Quicksands lune a horrible fascination for writers and readers of fiction, and the reality is every bit ns bad as fancy paints it. One of the most remarkable quicksand accidents occurred years ago In New Zealand. Two prospectors were wailing across the mouth of a small stream running into the sea in the north Island of New Zealand. Both stepped into n quicksand. One who merely touched the edge of it got loose. The other sank rapidly and. in apite of his companion’s efforts, was sucked under. When an attempt was made to recover the body, it was found that tile sand was enormously rich in gold. From n single ton of It £3OO worth of gold was washed.—Pearson's. Hard on the I,nd les. Very few remember the existence of a certain remarkable statute which was passed in the early days of George 111. if Indeed they ever heard of it. It runs to the effect that If any woman “entices any of his majesty's male subjects into marriage by the use of any powders or paints or falsi" hair or wool on the cheeks she shall be prosecuted for sorcery.’’ What n cause celebre It' would lai if any of his |>resent majesty's male subjects were to endeavor to put the luw Into action. What a rush there would be of fashionable Indies to secure front aeata in court for ths hearlug. London Ta tier.

Blonds lu fllaiury. It is certain that blond, long headed men once played a great role in history, for it was they who colonized Galatia and brought home the treasures of Greece and Italy to Toulouse, who overthrew the Roman empire in the west and won England from the Britons. It is equally certain that this physical type was once much more dominant and widely distributed than it is now and that it is tending to die out. This is especially true of that pronounced form of blonds which is distinguished by red hair. Red haired persons do not now constitute the majority in any known tribe or nation, but one authority sets forth grounds for thinking that red hair was once much more prevalent. It must have occurred, for instance, among the Brahmans, since they were forbidden by the laws of Manu to marry red haired women. There is no doubt that blonds and red haired persons are still encountered about the Hindoo Kush, among the tribes from whom the Brahmans are supposed to have been Immigrants. But obedience to the law mentioned would, in the course of time, annihilate the tendency to their reproduction. The Credit They Give You. “What is success?” asked the man with a liking for tlie abstruse. “Success.” answered the cynical friend, “is som thing that impels your old acquaintances to smile significantly and remark, ‘A fool for luck.’ ” Comparisons.
