Miss Luella Robinson has gone to gouth Haven, Mich., to visit 8. E. Overton and family. / Mrs. Devere Yeoman was hostess last evening to about thirty guests, in compliment to Miss Jane Chilcote, of South Bend, who has been the guest for the past two weeks of Mrs. Yeoman and Mrs. Frank Foltz. Cards were played, “Five Hundred” being the game. Light refreshments were served. N. W. Marker, of Tipton, came’ to Rensselaer this morning to see G. H. Gifford, the executor of the B. J. Gifford estate, and they both returned'to Tipton on the 11:32 train. Mr. Marker is one of the men who was mixed up in the bank failure at Tipton several years ago. ~ Miss Ocie Wood, who has been in the northwest for the past four weeks, visiting at Laclede, Idaho, and Spokane, Wash., is now -at Townsend, Mont., and after a few days’ visit with Miss Mary Brown will go to Mclntosh, Minn., for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Walter English. For earache, toothache, pains, burns, scalds, sore throat, try Dr. Thomas* Eclectic Oil, a splendid remedy for emergencies. Ed Oliver returned yesterday from an auto business trip to Illinois. He was over west of Streator and reports that much of the ter rltory he passed voer is still suffering quite badly from the drouth and the corn is firing in some places. West of Streator there had been two rains about two weeks, apart. Itching piles provoke profanity but profanity won’t improve them. Doan’s Ointment is recommended for Itching or protruding plies. 50c at any drug store. Mrs. E. R. Linn, of Woodward, Okla., a sister of I. F. Meader, of Union township, who had been visiting relatives at Valparaiso, is now at the Meader home, Mr. Meader family having made a trip by auto last Saturday to get her and made the return trip Sunday. Next Sunday Mr. Meader and family and Mrs. Linn will make an auto trip to Fowler and Oxford. Mrs. Lida Potts went to Chicago this morning and met. her sister, Mrs. Addison Chilcote, of Fredonia, Kans., who came here on the 11:32 train to visit Mrs. Potts and another sister, Mrs. Sarah Miner. Mrs. Potts had not seen Mrs. Chilcote for seventeen years. She will make an extended visit here with relatives and friends. Monday’s rain did not extend very far to the northwest of town and Louis Hooker on the B. Forsythe farm reports that there was only a sprinkle at his place. Louis was in town and was feeling mighty fine about the rain, but before he reached home his horses were kicking up the dust. Another big rain is needed, but the weatherman does not give us any encouragement, saying simply “Generally fair tonight and Thursday.” Bruce Day has written his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. 8. Day, from Kingman, Kans., stating that the crops there have been very badly damaged by hot winds. The temperature was 110 degrees and hot winds were blowing at the rate of 30 miles an hour. The corn will make fodder only, while the wheat is turning out only 10 x o 12 bushels to the acre. Bruce said that Kansas people will have to economize this ypar to make ends meet. Miss Clara Robinson, who - was operated on for an internal cancer at the Deaconess hospital in Indianapolis almost two weeks ago, has not been doing so well as had been hoped, but is now somewhat better again. It is possible that she will be able to leave the hospital in ten days or two weeks. Her operation was performed by Dr. Thomas Eastman, in whose office Miss lima Robinson is employed. Dr. Ivan Brenner, son of A. J. Brenner, and a graduate of the Rensselaer high school, is an interne in the Deaconess hospital and has been very kind to Miss Robinson during the time she has been a patient there.

Mrs. Charles Vick and four children arrived in Rensselaer Tuesday evening to visit his parents, Dr. Charles Vick and wife. It is understood that Mrs. Vick and the children had been visiting for some time among her people and that she was on her way to Logansport, where Charlie is engaged in the painting business, when he intercepted them at Delphi and sent them here Mr. and Mrs. Vick, Br., have been supported largely for a long time by his daughter, Miss Emma Vick, who is a stenographer in Chicago, but she recently wrote to J. A. McFarland, who has been supplying them with groceries, stating that she was employed now only a part of the time and found it necessary to withdraw her support for the time, at least.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

CITY FOUNDED ON IRRIGATION

Rivers Always the Wet-Nur«e« of the Earliest Civilisation*. Rivers are always the wet-auraes of the earliest oiviHsatloßs, aad in this respect the Tigris and Euphrates are rivals of the Nils, for Babylonia, like Egypt, was a river's “gift” The Mesopotamian Valley is intersected, gridiron fashion, by huge canals—not dug out, but built upon Mie earth’s surface, crossing; the plain from river to river and seeming to the traveller like ranges behind ranges of ouriously regular hills. From these, lesser canals branched in all directions and gave birth in turn to others still smaller, until at last the final threads carried the life-giving water to every grove and garden and individual palm. A system of irrigation so mechanically perfect and on so vast a scale was never elsewhere seen. All the wealth and splendor and power of the ancient Babylonian and Assyrian Empires were dependent upon it The prosperity of the country hung upon its water supply as absolutely as the existence of a Saharan oasis hangs upon its well. .A harm done to the irrigation system was felt through all the civilisation it nourished.

It was so the Mesopotamian civilization died. The complicated irrigation works which watered tht country required for their upkeep the superintending care of multitudes of trained laborers and expert engineers. Only knowledge and skill and large resources could deal with and maintain the immense canals and sluices and dams and locks which distributed the river water over the land and which composed a machinery as elaborate as a clock’s, though of water works, not metal works. The hand of a steady and strong government was needed to wind that machinery up and fceep going, and there came a time when that hand was withdrawn.

Marriage and Meanness.

Some years ago there lived In Atchison a young woman noted for her good works and gentleness. She was always helping the poor and was patient and kind and .universally -admired. She married a fairly good man and abused him within three months. She had been good and patient for years, but a husband was too much for her; she had never been cross to any one until she was cross to her husband. There is something about marriage that stirs up hidden depths of meanness' on both sides.— Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

Early to Bed.

The man who makes it the habit of his life to go to bed at nine o’clock usually'gets rich and is always reliable. Of course going to bed does not make him rich —I merely mean that such a man wQll in all probability be up early in the morning and do a big day’s work, so his weary bones put him to bed early. Rogues do their work at night. Honest men work by day. It’s all a matter' of habit and good habits in America make any man rich. Wealth is a result of habit—John Jacob Astor.

Woman Author at Home.

Home-made jam is gradually disappearing from the twentieth century European household. And yet 60 years ago George Sand, who treated most of her domestic duties some what lightly, was discovered by a visitor wearing a cotton dress and a bit apron, and skimming a panful ot fruit destined for the jampot. “It it not easy work,” she remarked. "1 find it harder to make good jam that to write ‘Valentine’ or ‘Mauprat’; but there are some tasks one cannot leave to others."

Decidedly Rattled.

Of an Irishman, named Dogberty a speaker of rare eloquence, the foi lowing amusing story is told: After one of his speeches he asked Canning what he thought of IL “The only fault I could find in it," Canning an swered, “was that you called th* speaker, ‘Sir’ too often.” "My dea>friend,” said Dogherty, “if jov' knew the state I was in while speak Ing, you would not wonder if I had called him ‘Ma’am!’”

Mall Bags Spread Tuberculosis.

Letters and mall bags are carrier* of tuberculosis. According to test! mony recently given before the pos tai commission of the British empire during the last 20 years 80 per cent of the deaths among letter sorters had been due to consumption, con traded by the men after they had en tered the service.

The Philosopher of Folly.

“Why la it,” asks the Philosophy of Folly, “that after a fallow has tab en a week off, he always wakes u> with the ’feeling that he Is about to be evicted and arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses?"

Time.

“It’s a sort o* curious," said VaoH Jerry Peebles; "but when a man to workln* for another man he's a) way* a wantin’ to go and aee the ban game When he’s workin’ on hie own tint ha gets stingy with It and ean*t snare H.*

OUR BOYS and GIRLS

, The Thimble Biscuit. Once upon a time Polly’s mamma iras making biscuits for supper. Ihe sifted the floor so fine, and white, And kneaded the dough till it was light, And rolled it out with the rolling pin, And cuCthe biscuit round and thin. Polly watched her do everything! and, when the last biscuit was in the biscuit pan, mamma said: "Here is a little piece of dough left on my biscuit board. I winder if there is a little girl' in this kitehen who would like to make some little biscuit?” “Yes, yes," said Polly, clapping her hands with delight; for of course she knew her mamma meant her. ‘Td like to make little biscuit all by myself.” So mamma tied a napkin around her waist for an apron, and Polly rolled up her sleeves just as mamma did when jhp. cooked, and climbed into the chair so that she could reach the biscuit board. Then she was ready to begin her biscuit “May I sift flour, t6o?” she asked. “Yes, indeed,**, said mamma. “You must always sift flour on your board if you want your biscuits to be smooth and niee.”

Bo Polly sifted -the flour so fine and white, And kneaded the bit of dough so light, And rolled it out with the rolling pin, And— What do you think? Mamma’s biscuit cutter was larger than Polly’s piece of dough! “I think you will have to borrow grandmother’s -thimble for a biscuit cutter,” said mamma. A thimble biscuit cutter! Was there ever anything so funny as that? Polly laughed about it all the way upstairs to grandmother’s room; but, when she told grandmother what she wanted, grandmother did not think it was strange at all. ~ “I used to make thimble biscuit when I was a little girl,” she said; and made haste to get the thimble out of her workbag for Polly. Grandmother’s thimble was made of shining gold; and oh! what a fine biscuit cutter it made. The biscuit were as small and as round as buttons, and Polly cut enough for grandmother and papa and mamma and Brother Ned and herself, each to have one for supper that night “I think it is fun to make thimble biscuit,” she said as she handed them round in hep own blue saucer; and, if you don’t believe she was right, make some yourself, and see. —Maud Lindsay, in Kindergarten Review.

An Easy Trick.

If you posess a strong magnet you can perform a very startling trick. Hang up a sheet of paper. Draw on ft with pencil a hook. Immediately behind the sheet, at the point where the hook is drawn, place your magnet Now tell your friends that you can hang on this hook a key or stool ring, or any small iron or stool object with a hole in it They will, of course, not believe you. All you need to do is to place the stool or Iron object oter the picture of the hook, and, the magnet will bold It The object will appear to have been hung on the hook. Tou can have a confederate behind the scone to remove the magnet and then ask any one to try to hang up the object Mo will, of course, tall. Then, haring given a Erl to your confederate, bo will res the magnet and you wilt operate trick again.
