Fred and Oscar Hoffman of Decatur arrived here yesterday morning and went over to Linn Grove to see about cutting some timber. Mr. Hoffman expects to build a new residence at Decatur this spring.—Berne Witness. Steve Longenberger, the hustling saw mill man, has left the farm of Mrs. Wash Kern, and moved to Pleas, ant Mills, in the vicinity of which he expects to get out timber Jor barns, etc., which will be built this coming summer.

Schenck, and former pupil of Decatur High school, who went to Alabama with a party of lumbermen, has quit the lumber camp, and accepted a position as a teacher in a school, near Mobile, Alabama. The funeral of Miss Clara Lenger. ich who died the fore part of the week of consumption was heiu this morning at nine o’clock at the St. Marys Catholic church, Father Wilken officiating. Interment was made in the St. Joseph cemetery. The floral offering was beautiful and profuse. At school one day a little girl who was chewing gum, had extended her feet out into the aisle of the room instead of keeping them under her desk. The teacher, whose strong point was propriety, said in a severe tone, “Jennie Davis, take your gum out of your mouth and put you feet in immediately” The desire to he fashionable and to be popular in society has filled more prison cells than almost any other cause. It gets people into debt, and those who run into debt for so foolish a cause are usually not strongminded enough to resist that other temptation that presents itself—a short road to money that will get them out of debt. It’s better to try to live alone in an attic and stay within your income than to waste your time and money iq a foolish attempt to be popular.

Representative Horace Hanna of Hendricks county is leading a movement to pass a law giving treasurers 40 per cent of all interest on public funds collected by them in lieu of increasing their salaries. Last week over at Huntington five people were fined $lO each for violating the . postal laws. The trouble in nearly every case arose from the fact that in sending away tobacijo tags written notes were • enclosed. Written matter goes at 2 cents per ounce or fraction 'thereof; ignorance of this provision did not excuse the Huntington parties, nor will it excuse any one else. By a ruling of the postoffice department it will be permissable to write on both of souvenir postal cards without additional postage. The right half of the card must be reserv. ed for the address but if desired the left hand half of the card may be used for writing. The country has been flooded with this style of card, which is of foreign origin, and much trouble and misunderstanding has been caused. Farmers and gardeners who depend upon the moon to direct their potato planting will have to get busy unusually early this season. Three weeks more and the "sign is right” for putting the seed in the ground. The first day for planting early potatoes is March 11, Monday and the next one Monday, March 18. Good Friday, held by many the proper day for planting, comes this year on March 29, much earlier than last spring. The attorneys for Thaw seem to be afraid that the state’s attorney will be able to prove that he has been ; crazy for the past four years at least and is still in the same condition. Je. ■mime, under the circumstances, may ask the clerk to declare him insane and have him sent to an asylum. But Thaw’s craziness is harmless, now that White is out of the way, unless the fickle Evelyn should grow weary of him and thus arouse the killing passion in his breast again. He ought to be confined in some institution until it is pretty well ascertained that he is a-fit subject to be at large.

Hereafter, if a bill which passed the house becomes a law, as now seems probable, a special delivery' stamp need not be pasted on a letter to secure quick delivery. The meas. j ure was introduced by Champ Clark of Missouri, and authorizes postmastJ | ers and clerks in substations to sell 10 cents worth of ordinary stamps in lieu of special delivery in case they do not have the latter on hand. The words “special delivery” can be written across or underneath the additional postage, and this will insure special delivery the same as though the letter carried the usual special stamp. A man will run as fast as he can to cross a railroad track in front of a train. Then he will watch it till it goes out of sight. Then he will walk leisurely away. He seems to be all right, and probably is. That is a man. A woman in a street car will open a satchel and take out a purse, take out a dime, and close the purse, open the satchel and lock both ends. Then she will give the dime to the conductor, who will give her a nickel back. Then she will open the satchel and take out the purse, put in the nickel, close the purse, open the satchel and put in the purse, close the satchel and lock both ends. A farmer hired a green Irishman. One of the first tasks assigned the new hired man was to bring into the cow lot dead or alive a refractory bull that had broken into the cornfield. The Irishman was given a shotgun and told to shoot the bull if the ani. mal showed fight. Jauntily he went about his task. The farmer stood at a safe distance to watch developments. As soon as the bull saw the Irishman enter the cornfield he bolted at him, bellowing madly. The Irishman blazed away with the shotgun and emptied the load ia the beast s breast. On rushed the bull, madder than ever. The Irishman took to his heels, with the bull after him. “What are you doing?” screamed the farm. 1 er at the fleeing Irishman. “I’m bringing him alive, sir!” shouted the Irishman between breaths. Croup can positively be stopped in 20 minutes. No vomiting, nothing to: sicken or distress your child. A sweet,' , pleasant and safe syrup, called Dr. , Shoop's Cough Cure, does the work , and does it quickly. Dr. Shoop’s , Couch Cure is for croup alone, remember. It does not claim to cure a doz ’n ailments. It’s for croup, that’s all. Sold by W. H. NACHTRIEP-

THE SOCIAL EVENTS (Continued from Page 1.) handed a little hatchet on which they were to write a' sentence using Washington. Miss Marie Boknecht proved to be champion in verse writing. At a late hour they were taken into the dining room which was verypretty in the decorations of blue and gold, and a dlicious lunchean was served. February 22nd, was the time of a surprise party on Mrs. J. J. Longenberger at her country home one and one-half miles northeast of Monroe, [ to celebrate her forty-fourth birth. I day anniversary. Mrs. Longenberger wad taken at once, to the neighbors until the crowd had all assembled. When she arrived home the table was loaded with all kinds of good things, especially chickens and cakes. The chief attraction was in Mr. and Mrs. David Fuhrman. The former ate so much cake he caused the fear that a doctor might have to be summoned. One plate was not sufficient to satisfy the eating capacity of Mrs. Fuhrman, so two had to be used. The guests were Messrs, and Mesdames E. W. Busche and child, ren; R. L. Shirk and son, Omer Lew. ellen, James Hendricks, sr; David Mathias Thomas and children, F. O. Davis, William Zerkle, Jonahan Andrews, J. J. Longenberger, Misses Stella Davis, Verna Davis, Elva Zerkle and Iva Fuhrman, and Mr. Rollo Longnberger. o MRS. ANNA MALLONEE IS DEAD Well Known Lady Dies After Months of Suffering. Mrs. Anna Mallonee, aged fifty-six years, died at one forty o'clock at the home of William Darwacter in the north part of the city after an illness of several months, death resulting from a complication of diseasesi It will be remembered by otir readers that Mrs. Mallonee fell some few months ago and broke her hip and since that time has been confined to her bed, she making her home with Mr. and Mrs. Darwacter. She was the widow of Ezra Mallo. nee, who died a few years ago in Michigan and had recently returned to this city to make her home, they having formerly resided here. Mrs. Mallonee was well known and has a host of friends who will be grieved to learn of her sudden demise. The funeral arrangements have not as yet been announced. Delay In Dlvoreea. “The underlying reason why so much time usually elapses between the filing of petition and the hearing or trial In divorce proceedings is not generally understood.” remarked a lawyer who makes a specialty of this character of practice. "Perhaps it is within the circle of truth to say that in a majority of cases. If either husband or wife, | whichever side be plaintiff, should ‘stop, look and listen,’ as it were, the ' trouble would be adjusted out of court entirely. As a rule, judges are inclined to afford ample tifie for domestic partners to ponder well before pursuing further toward legal redress for matrimonial difficulties. ‘Divorce in haste and repent at leisure’ is a logical paraphrase. Os course, if after mature reflection a different opinion does not ensue, the average jurist would favor progressing the suit.” —New York Press. | A Horae and ■ Cow. When in my teens, milking seven tows morning and evening and toiling on the farm all day. I made favorites of a bay mare and a Durham cow— Molly and Bess. Talk about your physical sympathy! Why, it was pathetic. Molly was my saddle horse, a single footer of rare excellence. 1 could ride her with one finger on the reins into the most forbidding places. Old Bess—oh, she used to kick a tooth out once in awhile and put her foot in the pall of milk, but the dear girl would follow me about with the affection of a child! Well. I was absent from the old home five years and returning found that of all the animals only Molly and Bess remained. Imagine my distress when Molly refused to notice me at all! While wondering at this loss of friendship I felt a warm, raaplike thing going over my hand, which was behind my back. Turning, I saw dear old Bess. Without notice she had come to lick me. -If ever animal spoke with eyes and manner she did. Her happiness at seeing me again after so long a period was apparent to all observers, and during my brief stay at home it was all I could do to keep her from following me into the house —New York Press. No “Deadhead” Trip. One of the most famous of American •hipping lines in the palmy days of our marine was the Cope line, which ran between Philadelphia and Liverpool, aays the author of "Memoirs of Charles H. Cramp.” By this line John Randolph of Roanoke determined *to go to Russia when he had been appointed minister to that country by President ' Jackson. Entering the office of the company In Philadelphia, he said to a 1 clerk in bis usual grandiloquent manner: “Sir, I wish to see Thomas e. Cope.” He was shown to Mr. Cope’s office. “I am John Randolph of
