Some funny antics can be seen every afternoon on the ice on Zimmerman's bottom, all classes of people who are trying to prove to I the pubilc that they are “it” when it comes to skating. In fact every body who now is the possessor of, a pair of steel runners is showing ' his or her skill, and many neat falls and wet feet ha ~e been report- ' ed to us but up to the present no serious accidents have happened. Here is the way a Bluffton man confessed at a revival last week: He had been pressed to rejient and fin idly got up and said: “Dear friends I feel the spirit moving in me to talk and tell what a bad man 1 have been, but feel I can’t do it | while the grand jury is iu session.” I “The Lord will forgive,” shouted the preacher. “I guess that’s right,” said the penient, “but He uint’ on the grand jury.” Gus Christen, formerly a teacher in the pubilc schools of Geneva, but now bookkeeper for E.

L. G. Ellingham, of Decatur, was last week elected first vice : president of the democratic editorial i association of Indiana. It is a rare distinction but one that is entirely I without emolument. Something [by the way, that does not disturb the equanimity of the popular Deca ! tur editor.—Willshire Herald. A scholar in a country school was asked to jiarse, “Mary milks the cow. The last word was disposed of thus: “Cow, a noun, feminine gender, third person, and stands I for Mary” “Stands for Mary," said the teacher, “hew do you make that out?” “Why” replied , the intelligent pupil, “if the cow j didn't stand for Mary, how could j she milk her?” Nat Popkins, the popular artist of Lyman Brothers, is going about the streets today nursing a very sore eye, the result of a friendly sparring match in which Nat tried to lose the other fellows glove in his left eye. It took the effects of I a nice beefsteak and a cold piece of steel to take the black from it and Nat says no more boxing for him. A school man not over u thousand miles away found a lull in the goo graphy class who was deeply inti rI ested in learning the points of the compass. The teacher said : " You i have in front of you, the north; on ' your right the east; and on your left the west. What have you be ; hind you?” After a moments reflec , tions. Allen exclaimed: "A pitch on my pants,” and to make information more emphatic, Allen continued in a shamefaced mannerI knew you’d see it. I told my ma you would.” At the special meeting of the Berne Business Men's Association held Tuesday evening the electric light project was well discussed Several members expressed disap 1 l proval of an electric light plant lie I cause they said, the town can't afford to pay for electric lights oven if the cost lx> very reasonable. Others are in favor of having elee : trie lights under a good francbise, in fact most of the citizens and buinoss men would like to have the lights. Mr. Wm B Henning ad dressed the aM'X'iation for about half an hour explaning his now argicultnral implement mid tqieak ing of the merite ot if.
