Mr. and Mrs. John Everett and Mr. and Mrs. Wilda Watts spent Sunday in Fort Wayne with friends. George Stone of Blue Creek township, who has been suffering with lung trouble, is reported improved. “There was a patient in my office the other day when the telephone bell rang,” remarked the doctor, “and I conversed with the party on the other end of the wire in German. When I replaced the receiver and turned to the patient she looked at me in surprise and said: ‘Ain’t that wonderful! I didn't know it was possible to speak German over the telephone,’ ” The Senate was so unfeeling as to pass a bill authorizing county com-, missioners to offer a bounty of 10 cents for the death of each crow. The one who kills the crow must exhibit his head and make oath that he is the author of the bird’s misery. Many mean things were said about the crow —that he kills chickens and disturbs song birds among other things. Shortly after Fred Underwood took charge of the Erie a Westerp friend called on him and asked him what Erie stock was worth. "When I was a boy,” replied Mr .Underwood, “I was troubled with sore feet. Somebody told me to try Saint Jacobs’ Oil. So I went to a drug store and asked the clerk if he kept Saint Jacob’s Oil. He did. ‘What is it worth?’ I asked. ‘lt ain’t worth a d n,’ he replied, 'but we charge JI a bottle!”’ An Englishman, who was going to drown himself, found two sovereigns in his pocket, and thinking it was a pity to waste so much, gave them to a poor woman who was starving for bread. When he saw how’ happy the pieces made the mother and her children. he bethought himself of how much happiness he could occasion by all the hoards of gold and silver he had. He gave up the idea of suicide and devoted the rest of his life to doing good.—Ex. When a man first enters prison to serve an inderteminate sentence from two to fourteen years he is dressed in a suit of narrow stripes. At the end of six months, if the man’s conduct has been satisfactory, he is allowed to wear clothes of cadet gray. On the other hand if the man is sullen or vicious and refuses to obey the prison rules, at the end of six months he is clothed in broad stripes and twelve months of perfect conduct are necessary to gain for him the coveted cadet gray. A two to fourteen years sentence may be cut down to about twenty-one months by good behavior.

A Fellow Told Me * The other day that the comfort he got out of my Elk skin shoe was worth more than three dollars to him. Is it a fact that you have had work shoes that hurt your feet so that you would have given even more than three dollars if you had a pair that did not hurt? My Elk skin shoe is always soft and pliable. Easy as a fine shoe on your foot. Let me prove it. Men’s $3.00 the pair

Will Helm made a business trip to Berne today. J. B. Stoneburner made a business trip to Geneva today. Sam Wyatt made a business trip to Indianapolis today. Ed Lyons made a business trip to Kendallville this morning. Rev. Jones of Monroe, was a business caller to our city today. Bub Mischaud of Berne, was a business caller to our city today. A. B. Bailey of Monroe, was a business caller to our city today. A. R. Bell was attending to timber matters at Union City today. Sam Kuntz of Berne, was a business caller to our city today.

Mrs. DeVilbiss and Mrs. Fanny Cole returned today from Fort Wayne where they were visiting with friends and relatives, and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Heller. Car number two on the interurban was tested yesterday and ran as smooth as if she had been in commission for several months. The car was run to Fort Wayne and the return trip was made in thirty-five minutes, which is remarkable time considering the condition of the track. When a man has twice served a penitentiary sentence and does not reform he has certainly determined to persist in crime. Then he should he permanently restrained. But honest men should not be required to pay the cost of his support. He should be made to take his living from the land in a spot where he can not rob others or contaminate them by example. — Chicago Journal. Tn the last days of the Confederacy General Longstreet observed a soldier in tattered clothes standing in mud and a beating rain during a temporary halt of the column. The soldier was soliliquizing for the benefit of the bystanders: "I love my country,” he asid. “I could die for my country. ‘Breathes there a man with soul so dead who to himself hath never said. This is my own, my native land?’ But if I ever do get through this war—if I do get through sure enough—l’ll be damned if I ever fall in love with another country!” Governor Hughes first went to New York city some twenty years ago, carrying a leter of recommendation from a county judge to the head of a big legal firm. Young Hughes wore clothes which showed no acquaintance with metropolitan tailors, but he was given a job at $lO a week. The head of the firm surveyed the young man later and said to his partner. ‘Try quietly to make that young frellow to get acquainted with civilized attire as soon as possible.” Five years later, the “young fellow” married his chief employer’s daughter.—Exchange. Joseph M. Huston, the architect of the magnificent Pennsylvania Capitol at Harrisburg, was asked not long ' ago to draw up plans and estimates for a church in a western town. Mr. Huston complied. His plans were beautiful. The cost of the building was $75,000. The committee in the west wrote that they liked the plans very much. But the price, they said, was high. Couldn’t Mr. Huston let them have a church like that for $10,000? Mr. Huston wrote back: “Say $2.50 more, gentlemen, and let us throw you in a nice spire.” Katherin O. Graf was before Judge Keeler of Cleveland. Tuesday asking, him to restrain her husband from saying "Oh fudge” and other "silly. things” in her presence. "Yes, we have lived in the same house since' the filing of my divorce petition, one | week ago, and we eat at the same ta-1 ble, but we both are silent," she said., "The children commented at the din-’ ner table about thy second dvorce petition and my husband said ‘O fudge! Why did you do it?’ Judge Keeler refused her order on the grounds that a man can’t be restrained from saying silly things in his own home. Sheep shearing time is near at hand again, and in order that farmers may profit well it is meet that thev should know all the facts about the business to get the most for their product. Woolen mills have established a new rule and will not allow as much for a fleece compactly tied as for one loosely bound. Their theory is that wool twine is cheaper than wool, and a fleece with a liberal weight of cord will not bring as good pi ice as one with only enough string to hold it together. Therefore, the regulation tie adopted for this year io once about the fleece, cross the cord and back over and tied in a firm ■ knot. Where more twine than that is u ed objections will be raised.

Mrs. Richards went to Berne today to make a short visit with relatives. The city council will meet tomorrow evening in regular session. Several matters of importance will be taken up. A. S. Burkhart, owner and manager of the Southern Michigan Base ball league, was in Auburn last night and signed several good players. Mr. Burkhart is a diamond broker in De- I troit and from that it would seem he has money to burn on the national game. The following well known players signed contracts with him last night: Jack Hillinger, catcher, who has been assigned to Mt. Clemens; Earl Howard, outfielder, to Jackson, Mich.; “Rasty” Witham, infield, to Jackson; “Cy” Stout, first base, Jackson. All of these players have been seen in games in this section of Indiana and are well up in the inde- . pendent class. They will report for duty about April s.—Auburn Courier. A. H. Sellemeyer returned this morning from Huttig, Arkansas, where he spent ten days with his son, Jesse Sellemeyer, who is learning the lumber business. He found his son in good health and spirits and progressing nicely in the business, he having received three promotions since being there and is now acting as yard mas- ■ ter for his employers. The plant is •one of the largest in Arkansas and •this fact alone speaks much concernling Jesse’s ability. Before returning ! home, Mr. Sellemeyer made a short I trip through the states of Louisiana I and Texas and is loud in his praise 1 concerning the latter state, as he I says it is booming. The climate is great and they are now enjoying balmy weather all through the south. Rear Admiral Coghlin, commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, whose reputation as a relator of good stories has increased each time he has spoken at a dinner, told a story a few nights ago which was given to illustrate his distaste for being the last speaker. “Having the last word." he said, “reminds me of a story i heard not long ago. A certain man died and a clergyman was engaged to offer a eulogy. This worthy minister prepared a sermon of exceeding length, but just before be entered the parlor to deliver it he thought that it might be advisable to learn what the dead man’s last words had been. So he turned to one of the weeping you.ig- ■ er sons and asked: 'My boy, can you I tell me your father’s last words? ‘He ; didn’t have none,’ the boy replied. Mai was with him to the end.’

Albert Acker was attending to insurance business at Geneva today. Amos Giliig made a business trip to Kalamazoo, Mich., this morning. Uncle Johnny Yant, aged eighty and one of the best known citizens of Blue Creek township, is recovering from a severe attack of pneumonia.

On March 10 the Ohio passenger rate law will have been in effect one year and from what can be learned the 2-cent rate is to be enforced by the railroads, basing all long distance rates on short line mileage. Whether this will be done where there is strong competition with the electric lines remains to be developed.
