A MAN OF MYSTERY.

Peculiar Life of Motastasio, the Cete* brated Italian Poet. ” Metastasio (1698-1752), the celebrated dramatic and Operatic poet, spept Qftyflveyears in Vienna with the Marlines family without ever learning Geirmab or wishing to learn It. Besides his utter tadigßereifce to all speech but Italian, Motastasio possessed many peculiarities of character. None might mentiqp death in his presence. Those who aptStded to smallpox before him he made It a point not to see again. In all his fifty-five years in Vienna he never gave away more than the equivalent of $25 to the ppor. He always occupied the same seat at church, but never, paid for it He took all his" meals in the most mysterious privacy 1 . His greatest friends had never seen him eat anything but a biscuit with some lemonade. 'Nothing would induce him to,dine away from, home. He never changed his wig or the cut or color of his coat. Metastasio was to ha ye -been presented tp the pope the day he died and raved about the intended interview in the delirium of his last mbments. Mrs. Piozai (familiar to readers of Boswell’s “Life of Dr. Johnson” a$ Mrs. Thrale) collected these particulars from the ladies of the Martlnes family, with whom Metastasio was so long domesticated without speaking or understanding a word of their language from first to last,

ETIQUETTE IN SIAM.

On Hands and Knees Before the King Was Long the Custom There. Perhaps the most revolutionary reform carried out by the late king of Slam was the abolition of the arbitrary rule of etiquette which forbade an inferior In rank to raise his head above that of a superior or even level with it. The inferior must not bven pass over a bridge while a superior was underneath jit, nor must he enter a room in an tipper story while a superior was occupying a room beneath it. Servants approached their masters on hands and knees. This custom is by no means obsolete today in spite of the royal edict, for many of the powerful nobles who live far away from the court still enforce it. In 1874 the king held a large court, at which no one present presumed to appear otherwise than on hands and knees. It was at this audience that the edict forbidding the custom was read to the prostrate. multitude. They there and then rose and stood dike men in the presence of their sovereign for the first time on record. Since then there has been no prostration at the royal audiences. But if a superior stops to speak to an inferior in the street the latter will still bend or lower his head in some way as a mark of respect. London Saturday Review.

Spoiled In the Making.

Behold, when a man on a trolley car removed his hat the other day little Willie observed that he was bald—yea, very bald, for not a single hirsute rambler trailed over his shining pate. But when it came to whiskers the bald party was right t4ere with the lilacs. He had whiskers In bundles, whiskers In stacks. In fact, he had enough whiskers to start a rat factory and make a fortune. “Say, mamma,” finally remarked Willie, turning to his mother, “just tlook at that man there.” “Hush, dear!” returned mamma. “He will hear you. What’s the matter with him?” “Everything is the matter with him,” replied the youngster. “When the angels made him they put his head on upside down.” Philadelphia Telegraph.

His Blunt Critic.

Irving Bacheller was introduced one day" by a mutual friend to a western mountaineer. “Mr. Bacheller,” exclaimed the friend to the mouhtaineer, “is an author of repute in the east.” “Oh, yes,” drawled the mountaineer. “I know of him. I was located up In my cabin here by the snow two winters ago, and I only had two books to read the whole five months, your book, sir,” he said, turning to Mr. Bacheller, “hod the Bible, and I read them through several ( times.” ,‘Tndeed!” said the author, a smile of satisfaction wreathing his face. “Yes, sir,” continued the old mountaineer, “and I never knew before how interesting the Bible was.”—St Paul Dispatch.

Grenada Was Bought Cheap.

The Island- of Grenada, in the British West Indies, was bought by the French from the Caribs by a solemn treaty In the middle of the seventeenth century, and the price paid was two bottles of rum. Esau’s mess of pottage was a good stroke of business by comparison. The Caribs soon regretted -having sold their birthright and vainly tried to get the island back by force. It Is now one of England’s most prosperous colonies in the West Indies.

DODGING THE LAW

By M, QUAD

Josephns Henderson was a man of forty wben a startling event took place In his life. He was also a widower. He was exactly five feet high and weighed 110 pounds. These figures twill convince you that Josephus was not numbered among the mighty men of earth. He had tried various ways of making a living, and in pursuing them he had got the reputation of being. keen. He had at last turned peddler and was driving a horse and wagon around the country with dry goods, notions, groceries and tinware. the way he came to meet the widow Sopher, who lived on a farm. ' The widow had passed forty. She was large and bony and strong., She was not handsome. The only thing on earth she feared was the law. She had once been arrested for kicking a man and had spent ten days In Jail. The sheriff had made her stay as pleasant as possible, bnt she had never recovered from the shock. , Peddlers are a jovial lot, and so are and In time these two came to call each other,Josh and Sally. > Thing? would have gqne no further but for the little man’s keenness. He never jhade a sale to the widow without cheating her, and one day when he heard that she ha<l come into possession of $5,066 in cash through the death of a brother Josephus saw his way clear for the future. That money would set up a store in the village, and he would become a thriving merchant. 'M. [ Josephus went courting. He found the widow behind the plow in a field. As he courted she plowed. He had no objections, as time was money to both of them. Josephus confessed that he had entertained a speaking affection for the widow since his first call, and. though she didn’t say much, Bhe seemed pleased, i Josephus was told to call two weeks later, but at the end of nine days he was back again. He said it was his beating heart that fetched him. He had cut the time down, but the widow was ready for him. Several days previous she had gone to the village and paid a lawyer $5 to answer the question: : “Can the law trouble a wife who rcks her husband?” And his answer had been: ( ‘iNot if you do not lick him too hard! is neither assault nor battery in what fnay be called a moderate licking. Don’t break any bones and don’t seriously Injure his eyes.” I “I have been thinking," said the widow to Josephus; “I have been thinking and wondering if you loved me.” T “Heavens, can you doubt it?” he exclaimed. “And you will always love me?” i “Forever and forever!” “Then we’ll say two months hence.” “One month—a week—a day!” 1 Josephus knew of a store to rent in the village, and he wanted that $5,000. The widow insisted that she must have [two weeks at the very shortest, and a date was settled on. The marriage was to be private and be celebrated in her home. In due time the happy day came round—a preacher and two witnesses and the deed was done. An hour later, as the happy couple were left alone, the widow changed her dress, rolled up her sleeves and brought out a new horsewhip bought for the occasion.

i “What’s up?” asked the wondering Josephus. !' “Take off your coat and stand out.” 4- "For what love? I want to talk with you about opening a store in town.” “Plenty of time for that. Josephus. The first sale you made to me was five yards of roller toweling. You beat me on the price and on the measure. I’m going to tan your jacket for it!” I “But, love”— | She took Mm by the collar and laid (on the whip till he hollered. A woburn who could twist a plow around in clay soli could handle the little Josephus. “The second sale,” continued the jWife as she rested, “was five tin paw. Four of them leaked, and you beat me out of 10 cents beside. Here Is licking No. 2.” ' “But I am your dear husband!” be protested as he squirmed abdtat. I “And that’s why I can lick you and dodge the law. Here goes!” | Josephus' hide was tickled again. He attempted to fight, but was taken by the hair and his head hanged against the wall till he grew quiet When the performance was over and the wife had got her breath she salfi: ! “Yon sold me ten yards pf calico for a dress and warranted It to wash. It wajg three-quarters of it yard short on the meesore and the colors ran Into each other.' Josephus, some more horsewhip!” ' “I’ll have you arrested for this!” “You can’t That’s what i paid $5 to make sure of. Come to time!" ' And Josephus was licked for selling shbrt weight groceries, and for ing SB rents too much for a pair of shoes, and for soiling black blockings 'thartcrocked. he had got his last stroke the wife said: “Josephus, darting. It waa * oasis of mine that got the *5.000. but .y ou’ve got me. and here we dwelt, and you do the farm work and do -It well or deir wkW too want is the tno air of tht* oourtfly,2iWitb H honest prictes nf good keksWrk thrown u»r

Notes of Northern Neighbors From The Wheatfield Review.

Buck Robinson, who has been here the past two weeks’ Soliciting for George Stembel, went to Rensselaer Saturday evening for a visit over Sunday with his family. Mrs. John Pinter went Saturday evening to Crown Point on account of the serious illness of her sister-in-law, Mrs. John Ludwig. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Jensen, of Rensselaer, came Saturday evening for a visit over Sunday with their parents. Charlie Tilton, who resides in the west part of town, was heard to say last Saturday evening to some ladies in a store down town that another new baby had arrived in the west end that evening, whereupon one of the ladies remarked t<& Charlie, “I don’t think that’s fair for all the babies to come to the west end,” and Charlie replied, “Oh, never mind, you’ll get a Start pretty soon,” and then all the ladies held their breath and examined the new line of caltcoes. J. F. Cook, of the National Pickle & Canning Co. was here Thursday making arrangements for the management of the station at this place. Frank Clager will again have charge and the prospects are said to be very favorable for a large acreage at all the stations in the Kankakee Valley. Remember that an acre or two ot pickles brings the farmer In some ready money at a time when no other crop is ready for market. The seed Is ready for distribution and can be had"at John Pinter’s store. Dr. Salisbury and J. W. Ott, of Crown Point, were here Tuesday looking after their farm property in this township. We learn that Dr. Salisbury is making to erect a new farm residence and a new barn on his farm, which is occupied by Alf Tilton. A number of the members of the Wheatfield Rebekah lodge gave a surprise to Mr; and Mrs. George Swisher at their home Wednesday, April 12th, the occasion being the thirty-fourth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs Swisher, who were the recipients of several useful and valuable presents from their friends. Refreshments and eatables were served and a very enjoyable evening was spent. H. W. Marble, \yho has the contract to construct the R. E. Davis, et al., dredge ditch, and also the five miles of laterals thereto, has purchased in Chicago a dry land dredge which he will use in digging the laterals. The dry land dredge is somewhat of a novelty for dredging purposes in the Kankakee Valley, as usually dredge ditches are dug with dredge boats. The laterals of the Davis ditch have so much fall from the commencement of each lateral to their outlet ou the main ditch that it would be impossible to use a dredge boat. The dry land dredge will start at the outlet of each lateral and back *up as the work is done. A force of men and R. E. Halleck, who has charge of the Marble dredge, have been busy the past week unloading the machinery from the cars and the dredge Will be rebuilt and ready for work Within the next ten days.

Makes Strong Plea to Keep Monon Free from Saloons.

The Monon News is making a strong plea to keep saloons from that town and we hope to see it successful. Time was when Monon was called a tough town. Saloons ran wide open and they contributed to the downfall of many trainmen and the ruin of many homes. But that town has been without saloons during most of the past eight years and it has improved, in its standing with outside towns. It is now a better place than it ever was before. The open saloon does not stand out as an invitation to every tired railroad man as he returns from a hard run and he goes to his home and to his family. Monon is much better without saloons and it will be a pity if they are returned there by the votes of the people of that town and township. The News says: “Over two years have elapsed since the last saloon closed its doors in Monon and the town is still on the map, with our merchants doing business at the old stand, the wheels of commerce moving forward, the schools more prosperous than ever, and the churches manifesting a new zeal for the cause of right living. Reports vary as to the quantity of liquors that have been illegally dispensed during this period, but not one drop has been sold under sanction of law, and certainly less than was sold under saloon domination. It is absurd to contend that saloons will lessen the drink habit. It would be just as sensible to assert that the number of criminals can be reduced by licensing crime. In order to keep men and boys from drinking, let us have a licensed saloon! “We have not Interviewed many pf the merchants of Monon on this question, but those with whom we have conversed, some among opr largest dealers, tell us their trade has increased and collections have improved since the town went “dry,” and like conditions are reported in other towns In dry territory. So, for business reasons, the saloons should be kept out 1 “But above and beyond ajl this Is the moral phase of the question and on this point thei*e is absolutely nothing can be said' In favor Of the saloou, it ft .the arch enemy of sobriety and gjohd conduct. It is a robber ten-fold more destructive than the bandit and thug, whose wofst assault can not deprive one of his richest treasure—his eternal welfare! It Is more to be

dreaded than pestilence and war and every hand should be against it that loves the home and family. But why dilate on the subject too foul and desperate for description. The saloon is its own accusser and on its own testimony should have a lifesentence to oblivion."

Kniman Man Charged With Forgery Lodged in County Jail.

Wheatfleld Review. W, E. Brandenburg, who resides northwest of Kniman, was taken into custody Monday by Deputy Constable Robert Mannan, who served a warrant issued by Squire VanDoozer on the complaint made by A. S. Barlow charging the prisoner with forgery. The prisoner came to Wheatfleld last Saturday and purchased some goods at the hardware store of Mr. Barlow, and presented in payment therefor a check amounting to $22.20, signed by J. C. Callaway and payable to W. J-. Smith, the prisoner representing to Mr. Barlow that he, Brandenburg, was W. J. Smith. Mr. Barlow not having sufficient change, gave Brandenburg his personal check amounting to about $16.00 over the amount of the prisoner's purchase. Brandenburg then presented the Barlow check at Myers & Myers store for a small purchase and received the balance iu cash, and then presented a check in payment of goods bought at Anderson’s grocery, to the amount of about $14.00. the check signed by the signature of John C. Burgett and made payable to a Mr. Russell, the prisoner representing to Anderson that he. Brandenburg, was Russell. The forged checks were presented to the Bank of Wheatfleld for payment, and Cashier A. h. Jensen pronounced them no good and forgeries. The prisoner was given a hearing by Squire VanDooser and plead not gailty, and after the evidence presented by Messrs. Barlow, Langdon, Anderson and Jeasen, and the Identification of the prisoner, the" court bound him over to the circuit court for trial, and in default of $500.00 bond, be 4as taken to jail by Sheriff Hoover. ’ . »
