A large body of students from the South, en route to the summer term of Indiana University, were on the northbound train. Edward F. Riley. of Philadelphia, a boiler inspector, was the most seriously injured among the passengers, having his left leg and right arm broken. He was taken to the Bedford hospital.

Daugherty, who was sentenced to the penitentiary for appropriating the school funds of Peoria while city superintendent of schools and treasurer of - the school board of Peoria, and who was paroled Nov. 9, 1911' Cutworms, molfes and crows are re ported to be causing considerable damage to young corn, and are especially destructive in some parts of the county. The crows, however, are not nearly so numerous as during former years and it is believed the crow bounty has had the effect of driving many thousands of them away. W. R. Shesler reports that while plowing a few days ago he was followed by a large number of English sparrows, which scanned the freshly turned soil and captured the cutworms and other larvae that are so destructive to corn Mt. Shesler does not regard the sparrow as deserving the bad name it has secured and thinks it should be given credit with some work in the cornfields.

The County Fair Cucumbers

By M. QUAD

When it was known that George Huggins, old bachelor, was paying his attentions to Lucy Smith, old maid, the people of Crowville said that it would be a good match on both sides. When it was known that there was an engagewmt there were many* earnest congratulations. Mr. Huggins bad a little home of his own and kept bachelor hall. Miss Smith had a little home of her own and enjoyed a small income. The prin cipals had known each other for years, and love had come about through an incident Miss Smith was at her Well one morning to draw a pail Of water when she leaned too far over the curb and fell in head first. Of course as soon as she could get her head above water she began to scream. Mr. Huggins happened to be passing the house and heard her and went to the rescue. She was very wet and very scared, and in the excitement of the moment she fell on his neck and c|||ed him dear George. Mr. Huggins was also somewhat excited and the first thing he knew found himself calling her dear Lucy. After that Cupid's work was easy. The marriage day had not been set, but things were gliding along, when the county fair committee came out with the list of premiums for the fall fair, still many weeks away. It so happened that Mr. Huggins had made up his mind to grow a big cucumber for the fair. He had grown a monster the year before, but had not entered it And it so happened that Miss Smith decided to do that selfsame thing. Of all the things in her garden, which she worked herself, cucumbers seemed to do the best of any vegetable, it was one evening when they sat on the front doorsteps in their happiness that George mentioned the cucumber business and declared he would take .the premium over the whole county. “Why. George. I’m also going to raise one,’’ was replied. “All right, but you’ll waste your time.” “I know I shan’t. I grew one over a foot long last year." “That won’t'be enough this time. I think you’d better grow squash or tomatoes. I don’t think we should compete against each other.” The matter was argued good naturedly, but no decision arrived at. “Lflcy, dear, 1 ask this as a favor of you,” said Mr, Huggins as he took her hand. “George, dear, you can raise onions,” was the reply. “But 1 saved your life when you fell into the well.” “But the water wasn’t over my head, and 1 believe I could have climbed out anyhow.” “I wouldn’t have believed you were so stubborn.” “Nor 1 of you. I’ve always heard you were open to argument and were' seldom in the wrong. Perhaps we have made , a mistake?” ‘ "1 hope not, but it looks queer to me "that you stick out for cucumbers the way you do.” “And it looks just as queer to me. George, do you think a knight of old would have been as finicky as you are? No, sis— he would have told his lady love to go right ahead and 'glvefi her all sorts of encouragement” “But 1 want to beat old Deacon Swift He has taken the prize on cucumbers for the last three years.” “And he’s the very man 1 want to beat When his hog rooted up my garden last year he wouldn’t pay a cent damages, but told me to sue and* be hanged.” When Mr. Huggins left for home that night there was a chilliness in his parting. He was still sticking on cucumbers. The question had become a broad one. His whole future happiness was at stake. He walked slowly down to the gate, hoping to be called back and told that Lucy had relented, but there was no calling. She was also realizing that the question had broadened. Next evening he went down and sat beside the mill dam until a late hour instead of keeping his usual tryst. It was so the next evening and the next. Then it became a matter of gossip that the engagement was off. As time went on the cucumbers grew and grew. They grew by day and grew by night. And at last, when the day came that .their stems were cut and they were carried off to the fair on pillows, one could detect no difference between them. They were twins. It was said that the cucumber committee Would have split the prize, but it dldift turn out so. Deacon Swift drove into the grounds with a whoop and a holler and unloaded a cucumber that took the cake by ten points. Mr. Huggins saw the unloading. So did Miss Smith. They were aware of each other’s presence, but hadn’t spoken. Now they began to edge around nearer and after 'awhile found themselves face to face. “He’s a mighty mean man”’ exclaimed George, " * ‘Perfectly contemptible!” “I feel sorry for you after all your trouble.” “And I for you.” * “I want to get even with the deacon, and I know of but one way. Will you help me?” i ‘ - She took his arm, and they walked away, and next month there-was a wedding. Some folks have to go through just so much trouble to find happiness.

A Birthday Feast.

Sunday Mrs. Sarah Pruitt’s home was literally packed with the more than a half a hundred guests who had gathered to help her celebrate the enghtieth anniversary of her birth. Her birthday is really June 10th, but that fact <did not detract from the joyousness of the occasion. Children were there whose ages ran from one to eighty-two and over; and truly they were all children together. Grey hairs were as thick as roses in June, yet age seemed to slip from the hill side under the warming rayseof an April sun. We were forcibly reminded of the three following verses from Oliver W. Holmes’ beautiful poem, “The Boys”: “Has there any old fellow got mixed •with the boys? If there has, take him out, without making a noise. Hang the almanac’s cheat and the catalogue’s spite! OIA Time is a liar; wA’re twenty tonight We’re twenty! we’re twenty! who says we are more? He’s tipsy, young jackanapes! show him the door! “Grey temples at twenty£i Yes, white if you please; Where the snow flakes fall thickest there’s nothing can freeze) Was it snowing I spoke of? Excuse the mistake! Look close, you will see not a sign of a flake! We want some new garlands for those we have shed, And these are white roses In place of the red.” Truly it Was a happy gathering and spoke eloquently of the popularity of the hostess. At the first table sixteen persons sat down, whose aggregate age was over 1200 years and whose average age was 75 3-5 years; the youngest was 65, and the eldest over 82. At about 11 o’clock dinner was announced and truly it was a most sumptuous feast, to which all tried to do ample justice. But, O! how the chicken yard must have suffered! The tables fairly groaned beneath the weight of the good things with which they were ladened, and we groaned after vainly trying to relieve them of their inviting burden. Those who came to do hondr to the occasion were relatites and friends of Mrs. Pruitt from In and around Rensselaer; fourteen, however, were from the vicinity of Goodland. Your reporter would „ have been glad to have secured more detailed and definite information regarding the guests but, what with the chatter, the clatter and the delightful business in nanu, rt was out 01 tutj quesnuu. Each and all were unanimous In wishing that "Aunty” Pruitt might have many more happy and for themselves the privilege of enjoying the feast on each returning one for the next twenty years to come: Contributed.
