An Illinois University professor has handed out the latest in the ‘‘How old is Ann epidemic” which is as follows and certainly the limit. ‘lf Mary is twice as old as Ann and Ann’s out is twice as old us Marys' dog, what would Ixi the difference of age between Mary's pigeon and Ann’s duck, if Mary’s pigeon was seven years older than Ann’s cat, when Mary's dog was three years younger than Ann four years ago, and their combined ages was seventy two. How old is Mary and Ann?” There is said to be an answer. The postoffice department has issued circulars to the postoflioes and rural route carriers in regard to the roads covered by the carriers. It is right to the point and should be looked after by the road supervisors and patrons of the route. The following is a part of the no-1 tiee: “The department looks to | patrons and road officials to see that highways covered by rural . routes are miintained in such con dition that they cun lx* traveled at all seasons, and indifference in this' matter will lx 1 considered a sntliei ent cause for the withdrawal of rural service from a community.”

John Young, who was for several years trainer at Warren Park Farm, the home of the Axtells, was wont to remark, "for any Axtell you show me that I can not teach to trot I will show you a duck that can not swim.” This comes very nearly being the truth. The Axtells are natural born trotters, and could not help trotting if they wanted to. Axtell sires very few pacers, but when you come to the trotting horses sires you will find Axtell always about on top. This season he is the champion sire of 2:20 trotters. Lust season he was the champion sire of 2:20 trotters. What championship is there for him to hold that he has not some time or other possessed? No other stallion his been as permanently before the public us has Axtell since the time he was a two year old, always u champion and the sire of races horses. Axtell is the j (sire of Axnite, he the sire of Grund- 1 sor, of the very best bred young stallions. A. N. Acker of Pleasant ■ Mills is owner of this grandly bred I horse and will be pleased to show | him to any one desiring to look at a fine horse. —
