In a heavy gale Wednesday afternoon, the hugh steel skeleton of the new barns and shops of the. Northern Indiana railway, the Murdock line, in course of construction at South Bend collapsed, throwing a score of men to the ground and pinioning others un der the wreckage. Four laborers were seriously injured and were taken to Epworth hospital. It is thought that all will recover. Bluffton is a dry town, and to this is due the fact that iher(T are no prisoners in the Weils county jail, which housed the chorus of ‘ The Time, the Place and the Girl” show Wednesday night. The Methodist- conference was in session and all the hotels were packed to the limit, and there was no other place open to the girls. They made the best of their surroundings and are now telling ‘ how they got Ir jail at Bluffton, Ind., a' dry town.” According to action taken by the cily council at Washington, La., Wednesday night, the town marshal of Washington has been given the distinction of earning one of the smallest salaries ‘of any officer in the. United States. His pay was fixed at 91 per year, \ ~ T; T"

THE BUTLER'S STORY.

“It certainly Is singular,*’ the butler said, “how It pays to look out for the little things. “I had been trying for six mouths to set a raise from my employer, but nothing doing. I worked and served faithfully always and with discretion and good-judgment, if I do say it, but no raise. Then came along a little bit of an incident that got me the lift of wages I wanted right away. “I have always been accustomed to pay attention to the little personal peculiarities of my employer’s guests so that I could show at the table or away from it attention to their,fancies or their real wants, and this I knew entitled me to higher recognition in the way of pay, for all this of course was for my employer’s benefit and good. As I couldn't tell him all hese things, I had to rely on the genral character of my service. There :ime an opportunity at last in which • ’■y careful attention to little things won out for me.

“We had among our guests at dinner one night a gentleman upon whom as I chanced to know my employer was particularly desirous to make a favorable impression, and from the moment that gentleman came into the house I had, as you might say, my eye on him. I was studying him, anc. well was my study rewarded, for presently T discovered about him a ieculiarity my knowledge of which t ■•. new. at the proper time would save him from great discomfort. “When in due time the guests were seated at the table and I had to come to wait on them I served them, to be sure, with such dishes as they were to take a portion from, each with the dish at his left side so that the person served could reach it meet conveniently; but when I came to the gentlemnn of whom I have spoken I did no; pass around him to hand the dish a* r is,JefL side; no, I simply moved the dish from the left side of the ger.Te man I had previously served acroo the interval to this gentleman’s right side, and I continued to serve hin; at his right side throughout the dinner despite the scowls which nty master repeatedly directed at mo for sc doing—and I knew what was coming ‘o me later. When the guests had all fone he said to me:

“ 'James, how could you have made such a frlglltful mistake as you did all through the evening In' serving Mr. Dickerton at Ms right side?' "'£ir.' I said, ‘Mr. Dickerten is let 7 handed!’ "It never did heed an i '‘ettSti.ra'hh wedge to get an idea into my master : head,' and at that he said, with hi; ’’ace all a beaming: "‘James you are a great man!! am. he raised my wages on the spot. “My sen." the butler con ludec never neglect the big things, alway watch out for them, but ke;p an eys always too on the little things Man; a fortune has turned on a needle, point.—New York Sun.

THEY HUM; BUT WHY?

A Habit You Come Across Under All Soi'.s of Ccyiditions in This Town. Why is the singing silly? One of them maybe sat next to you it the theatre last night. B-.tween the acts she hummed. From the moment that the curtain dropped softly on the scene of the lawyer dictating to his handsome stenographer ; to. the instant when the all cent orchestra gong offered its inexpensive but. deep toned music as a suggestion that the play is the thing and any one who longs for a tinkling tune thrown in is a barbarian the singing silly got in her work. Under the musicless circumstances it might have been a boon, but it wasn't! The man with her tried to choke her off, but she kept on with her throat gymnastics while she talked then began where she was to hum on audibly. She punctuated her performance with a comment on the hair ornament in front of her. Said the bird of paradise looked like an explosion. Then she hummed some more. She couldn't stop. The germ was spreading. That is the way with a singing silly. You stop at a florist's window, a human bumblebee lines up beside you. it's a masculine singing silly. With rapt attention it hums, all its faculties turned in to hear the music. Well, you do not interrupt, You reflect. You think that of all tfca foolishness to which humans are addicted this humming habit is the tipping limit.

You resolve. Never, so help you goodness gracious, will add your voice to the chorus of the singing sillies. ■That night you play cards with a woman who wears a string of pearls. The germ gets you. Tunelessly you hum “The Rosary.” The others glare. They didn't see the connection between a string of imitation pearls and the song. They can't make out any relation between the noise you are making and ‘ The Rosary.” : 1 V Still you hum on, cheerfully trumping your partner’s ace and cheating her out of her chance at the bonbon dish prize. You are a singing silly. ‘Why?’ ‘ ' *; . - V"7‘ Why are singing sillies anyway?— New York Sun.

GLEANINGS AND GOSSIP.

Seme men can t make good ever with fre:e, raw material.

Dogs, horses, cattle, mice, even fl*l have cancer. In Tunlß and Abyssfnii cancer is unknown.

Lovers of New Jersey applejacl will be disturbed by reports that the outlook for the apple crop in New Jersey is unfavorable. The San Jose scale hns affected the trees. Some orchards have been destroyed, ant many others sferlously damaged.

Chicago is to have a polyglot newspaper. It will be published by the united societies for local self-govern-ment, in the interest of the "homecule” and personal liberty principles.

When Thomas HHill, now dead, painted “The Last Spike,” which pictures the scene of the completion of the Central Pacific railroad and its junction with the Union Pacific, it was understood that he would receive $50,000 for the work. There was a misunderstanding, and the painting was 'eft on his hands. Now that John Washburn, his son-in-law, is negotiating for its sale to an eastern man for SIO,OOO, San Francisco people are trying to raise the money necessary to keep it in the city. Pour hundred persons are shown in the painting, 70 of hem by portraits.

Acording to the Boston Adveriser's John Lcrance, newspaper men ire well treated at the White House nowadays, Sometimes Mr. Taft sees ibe m while senators wait in the anterooms. “On Sunday lafet,” writes Lorince, “a large number of correspondents were with the president for two hours, having quite a. visit-with him and smoking Taft cigars. If any correspondent does not know wher the president stands on Important questions, he is obtuse or unenterprising indeed; Yet be it sain that the president is not using the press. No inspiring is being dene. It is the correspondents that seek the president, and at ad times he is frankly illuminating."

Marshall Bell, a wealthy resident of Newburg, caused something of a surprise recently by filing a voluntary application to be adjudged a bankrupt. His liabilities were stated to be $112,100, but on the day fixed for creditors to appear, claims to the amount of $2,000 only were presented. In his application Bell alleged that he go' into a brace game of faro in New i'ork city and played rashly until he -ost all the cash he had with him and ?aye in addition his notes for fIIO.OOO. The faro dealers were too shrewd to .ttempt the collection of a gambling debt in the bankruptcy court. The eferee wil settle the claims presented ■nd Bell will probably get his discharge. ■' V

The duel as .understood by German trinv officers may he a pretty serious encounter. When Lieut, Granier and Lieut. Switzers fought,, the conditions uade it impossible that honor should be easily satisfic i. These were the conditions: Alternative pistol shots, with 30 seconds aim at 10 paces, till me should be unable to continue the combat. Lieut. Granier had the first shot. He seemed *o aim carefully at lis opponent’s head, but missed. Lieut. Switzers aimed, but when he pulled the trigger his pistol mifcsed fire. This counted as a shot, however, and he again became the target. This time, appear ently, Lieut. Granier meant msiness. Switzers fell, with a bullet aole through a lung. He died 36 hours iter.
