HANGING GROVE.

George Parked finished husking corn Wednesday, probably the first farmer to finish in the township. Quite an exciting accident occurred near McCoy sburg Tuesday •morning. Mrs. Walter Jordan and little 3-year-old son, Robert, were returning home after taking the two older boys to school. The ground was frozen and rough, and some little noise f rightened the team and they started to run, throwing, the occupants both to the ground. The force of the impact was sufficient to bruise Mrs. Jordan considerable and cut quite a gash over- the little boy’s left eye and until the doctor had thoroughly examined him, it was thought his skull -was fractured. They were taken to the ,home of Roy Bussell until they could receive medical aid and .ascertain just how bad they were injured. They are now getting along' nicely and nothing likely to follow the accident. Mrs. Jacob and daughter, Mrs. M. V. Kendall, of Wabash, visited Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Moore arrd other relatives here this week.

Suggests That Lake County Be Divided Into Two Counties.

Lake County Star. The Gary Post, in an editorial, wants Lake county split in two and make a new county running south from Lake Michigan six miles, and names it “Calumet County.” They are spurred to this action by Gary’s casting 9,000 votes at their last city election, and perhaps 6,000 of them were carpet-baggers, who never voted there before, and never will again. Of course the state constitution will have to be changed to. make the change and iLHammond, Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor are willing it might go through easy. The south two-thirds of the county have but little to say in the Way of voting, and the majority may feel that it will be well to dissolve, but it may be a long time before it is done, if ever. The Post sometimes jcounts their ducks before they are hatched, especially during campaigns.

COM PANT M GETS PICTURE IN PRINT

One Published in Record-Herald i-\ and Another in Illustrated Current Events. ■ - e mass ~~ • Company M seems to have been picked out for the camera subject while in Indianapolis last week. The Saturday Record-Herald published a picture of the company, several members of which were clearly discernable, in connection with a report of the action taken by Governor Ralston to suppress the disorders that accompanied the strike of street railway employes. In that picture the company was in column of squads and bad just left the train at Thirteenth street. The other picture is sent out with the Illustrated Weekly Review, of which A. F. Long is a subscriber. It is on the older of Pathe’s Weekly, the pictures being * large and having underneath a brief sketch of the subject. This picture was taken in front of the Indianapolis Mttalion armory, just as the company was completing the unloading of their rifles. The rifles had been loaded with ball cartridges just after leaving the train and the cartridges were removed when the company had reached the armory. In this picture, which is displayed in Long’s drugstore window, sevearl of the company are recognizable. It is the only company in the picture. Distinguishing the company, the pictures of Governor Ralston and (Mayor Shank are printed just about. Mayor Shank was at the armory when the company arrived and was taking a deep interest in the settlement of the strike and *the arrival of the troops .from out of town.

“BILL” MARTIN AND MRS. ROGERS DEPORTED

Marshal Shesler Ordered Them to Leave and They Seem to Have Taken Him at His Word. “Bill” Martin and Mrs. Evelyn Rogers, who have ibeen somewhat of a stench in the public nostrils for several months, were ordered to leave town Monday by Marshal Shesler and they seem to have taken the marshal at his word. The crafty Evelyn after fooling the good people at Lafayette ifor some time returned to this city and Martin, who had vamoosed with her on a previous occasion, returned at the same time. It is reported that Mrs. Martin, who was so very angry when she first learned of the attentions her husband was paying Mrs. Rogers, had become forgiving and that she and Evelyn had become quite chummy, while reports continued to reach the officers that Martin was far too attentive to /Evelyn for the neighborhood welfare. In other words they were overworking the “affinity” racket. The Republican had two or three anonymous letters a few days ago which purported to put the public right up to date about this couple, but the letters were pigeonholed, having failed to pass the censorship of the editor. It is hoped that this latest flight will be for ever and a day.

FHE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, INJ).

The Tip-Trust

When Charies Marwick resigned a |BOOO a year clerical position with the United States government,to accept a sls a week fob as barber In the ton serial parlors of a down-town hotel! the wonder of his friends amounted to a strong suspicion of Marwick’s sanity. It waa a great come-down, not only in his salary, but in his sooiaj status as well.

An intimate friend approached him one noon In regard to the matter and Informed Mm that a reasonable explanation for the change would not only satisfy a growing curiosity, bat would save his act from reaching the ears of the fool-killer. Marwick’s answer was to offer his friend a cigar and inquire If he thought ft was going to shower. "Come, come!” remonstrated the friend. "This Isn’t the way to put yourself straight. You were under civil service, so it can’t be because you’ve taken exceptions to the politics of the administration. You haven’t been removed, either, as you have always been a 100 per cent man. Come —tell a friend —what la it? Perhaps the boys oan adjust it.” Marwick lit a cigar and thoughtfully studied the first few puffs of smoke. "11l tell you,” he finally yielded. "You see, I want to get into business for myself, and the barber trade isn’t a bad business after all. A few years’ experience In a first-class shop and I’ll be ready to open my own parlors.” "Can’t believe a word of it!” blurted the friend. "There’s some deeper purpose In your act, and, besides, how the deuce and when the deuce did you learn to shave and cut hair?” “Night school, of course! Best night school In the city. Cut hair for nothing, hut the last beggar gave me a 10 cent tip. ■_ Said it was the finest haircut he ever had.” "Well, I wish J&m luck,” sighed the friend, who was confident now that Marwick’s mentality had received a wrench, and that the man was more tor be pitied than censured. “I’ll drop around whenever I’m in your locality and let you try your hand on me.” But when he had reached the street again this friend shook his head. "No, sir! he shan’t ever get me under his razor. I prefer crazy men as poets, not barbers.” The advice of his many friends did not turn Marwick from his new course, and before long those friends had to admit that while he had been unwise In giving up a well paid government position to follow the trade of tonßorial artist, he certainly had not been mistaken In hla ability to shave and cut hair. His handling of both scissors and razor was faultless, and soon he was the most popular man in the shop. Within four months the proprietor of the parlors voluntarily doubled his salary, which, with the liberal tips he was known to receive, was not bad pay. Then he saved more, too, than In hts former position, and a couple of yeans after he had taken to the tonsorial field It waa learned that he acquired full title to a valuable piece of Forty-second street real estate. His friends laid their heads together—heads that Marwick had lately shaved and sheared to perfection—and tried to figure out how he had accomplished this financial marvel. “He gets pointers on the market from some of those Wall street brokers," was the most satisfactory of these conjectures. This explanation held for a while, then a violent quarrel between Marwick and his employer ended with the former suddenly disappearing from sight and the latter publishing his late employee’s secret. It seems Marwick had found that by a peculiar manipulation of the head he could excite the stingiest man to the extreme pitch of generosity, consequently every patron he had shaved, or whose hair he had cut, had tipped him moat liberally, and the total of these tips had reached a fortune In a very short time. He had located the nerve of generosity, or tip-nerve, and only the quarrel with his employer, perhaps over the sharing of hla liberal feet, had his well-laid plans. However, the loaa was not long hla, for a short time thereafter a number of tonsorial piriors were opened aimuL t&neousJty throughout the city, and although none of hla former friends could locate Charles Marwick, It was soon evident that he had intrusted his secret knowledge to a select dam of barber confederates and that ha was at the head of a tonsorial tip-trust, as profitable as any other favored trust —Ola Victoria Gould.

A friend was visiting Oscar WHde one day and found him hard at work “cutting” superfluous dialogue from his new play. “Isn't It infamous?” he asked, looking up after a moment or two; “what right have I to do this thing? Who am I, that I should tamper with a classic?” Judge Hear and General Butler were opponents in a case of a new trial Genera] Butler quoted: “Eye for eye, ekln for skin, tooth for tooth, yea, all that a man hath, will be given for his Mfe.” To which Judge Hoar replted: "Yes, the devil quoted that, once before In a motion tor a new trial”

MEANING IN ORIENTAL RUGA

Significance Among Eastern Nations of the Colors Used. Not only the designs but the colors Of rugs woven in the Orient are full of significances, - They represent national or individual traditions, they stand for virtues and vices, social Importance or social ostracism. They are the result, says the Eclectic Church Magazine, of the political and religious histories of the countries in which they were made. Tyrian purple is almost universally regarded as royal. Red was regarded by the Egyptians as symbolic of fidelity. Green has been chosen by the Turk as his gala color, but he would not approve its use in rugs,where It would be trodden by the feet Rose tints signify the highest wisdom, black and iridigo sorrow, with the Persians. Preferences for duller tone of color among the Persians give to all their embroideries and other products of the loom a certain richness and dignity.

Shooting Leopard on theSpot.

“Bill had charge of the animal tent,” said the old circus man, “and among his pets was a leopard, the only one we had vtth the show, and quite enough, too. This leopard gave Bill more trouble than all the rest of the menagerie put together. It was certainly an ugly brute. _ Well, one day, when we were showing In the Midlands, I had come up to London to arrange about some advance business. I was eating my dinner in the hotel when a telegram fras handed to me. It was from Bill and said: ■The leopard has escaped. Prowling about town. What shall I do?’ That was just like Bill. He had to have explicit directions, even in an emergency like this. He didn’t want to make a mistake. I immediately wired back to Bill: ‘Shoot him on the spot!’ I didn t think any more about It until a couple of hours later, when I received another telegram from conscientious, careful Bill, asking: “Which spot?”—London Tit-Bits,

Lost Articles Department.

Bridget, who had administered the culinary affairs of' the Morse household for many years, was sometimes torn between her devotion to her mistress and loyalty to the small son of the house. “Bridget,” said Mrs. Morse, In a tone of wonder, after an Inspection of the storeroom, "where have those splendid red apples gone that the man brought yesterday —those four big ones?” "Well, now, ma’am,” aald poor Bridget, “I couldn’t rightly say; but Pm thinkln’ if you was to find where my loaf o’ hot gingerbread Is, likelythim four red apples would be lyin’ right on top of It, an’ J’m only hopin’ hls little stummick can ; stand the strain.”

Not Included.

After the dry-goods saleman had completed hls business with Cyrus Craig, Centerville’s one storekeeper, he asked what was going on In the town. “Had any entertainments this winter?” he Inquired. "No,” said Mr. Craig. "Not one. Balome Howe's pupils given two concerts, piano and organ, and the principal of the ’cademy has lectured twice, once on ‘Our National Forests’ and once on ‘Stones as I know them’; but as far as entertainments are concerned, Centerville hasn’t got round to ’em yet, this winter.”

Father’s Joy.

It Is surprising how little money a man can get along on when his family needs It all, says a writer In Life. “Perkins looks very happy these days.” “He has reason to,” Brown replied. “After hls wife and children had been fitted out with their winter wardrobes he found there was enough left to have a new collar put on hls overcoat”

Were There Any?

Bobby’s father, who was a minister, asked hla little son if he could tell him how God knew that Adam and Eve had eaten the apple from the “tree of knowledge of good and evil.” This waa a hard question for such a little fellow, and after thinking for some time he replied, “I don’t knowi papa, leas ’twas by finding the peelings.” .. *

Wedding Presents

The girl who likes to talk shook her head solemnly at the friend who wanted to know whether she should buy a cot-glass bowl for a wedding present or send a set of Shakespeare. "Youlre like all the rest,” said the girt. "You haven’t the remotest notion of the crisis looming over you! It’s the test of friendship, this selecting a wedding present. You may have been bosom chums with the, bride from the mud-pie stage, but right now either you cement that friendship or else you make two deadly enemies. "Sometimes,” went on the girl who likes to talk, “it seems as though all the people who have It In for you for somthlng j-jst treasure up their little grudge till you get married, and then with a gurgle of triumph take revenge by sending you a wedding present that they know will set your teeth bn edge and send cold chills down your spina] column every time you look at It. She Is a lucky bride whose new home Is a thousand miles away where her old friends can’t drop In unexpectedly and prowl around to see that she has tneir presents properly displayed In the best light! "Louise moved to California when she . married,” related the girl who likes to talk, "and do you know what that smart girl did? When I visited her she took me and unlocked a closet door, and turned on the light. I focused a questioning eye on her after one glance, and said I didn’t know she was starting a chamber of horrors, and asked what the answer was. "Louise said she and Harry decided they had only one life to live, and even at that they probably would have unavoidable troubles; so there was no use ,ln deliberately acquiring other troubles. ® They took every last wedding present they hated and stored them in the closet, and were slowly giving them away on Christmases and other occasions to people whose character they thought needed chastening. Louise generally puts the prizes she wins at oard parties In (here, too, because either they never match her house or else they are champagne glasses—and they can ’t afford much »f anything but ginger ale. "I know a bride who got only one set of salad forks, so she thankfully overlooked the fact that they were of a design calculated to make one a misanthrope for life. But when a dilatory cousin sent her some perfectly beautiful salad forks, ,and she simultaneously got a wedding invitation herself, she took the hideous forks to a jeweller and requested that he obliterate her initial, and put on that of the bride on whom she was going to Inflict them.

** ‘Oh. yes,’ said the man, languidly, as he examined the forks" '‘we can do it. This will be the third time we’ve changed the initial on these same forks!’ “Now, my mother got some beautiful presents when she was married — years ago I think people had kind hearts and-really loved their friends—still, she, too, had her trials. Among them was a dessert set, which still lingers among the family treasures. It Is a wondrous thing of bright green glass that mother says is cut, but I am positive it was run through a hydraulic press by an apprentice, who afterward went insane. The big dish Is mounted in a silver filigree arrangement, which Is carried on up above it like an Eiffel tower. Perched precariously on this tower is a large silver bird, with a wooden expression and a tall like that of a flying machine. There are a dozen smaller glass dishes, replicas In miniature of the big one, and the effect of the whole collection when brought on the table Is to appall the brightest, most Intrepid spirit, and paralyze any flow of wit that may be there. No human being can do but gaze in wonder at the atrocity, simply overwhelmed by the thought that a mere mundane mind could have imagined and been desperate enough to carry out the design. “Nobody has ever dared to tnnse on th# dark, secret thoughts of the individual who presented that dessert set to mother, and she won’t tell who U was. I’ve always thought it was some girl who was In love with father, and because she didn’t get him, wanted to blight the lives of all who cams near him. Mother has a sweet nature, and believes in bearing her crosses, but I’m different. "Still, that dessert set is bewitched, for I’ve bribed every maid we ever had to smash it accidentally—end they break everything else on the premises, whHe that escapes. I believe if I took a hatchet to that hlg glass dish, it would crumble the hatchet as though It were tissue paper, and re main standing grimly, triumphantly on the pantry shelf, the horror of my life. Sometimes I think it will revenge itself on ipe for my bitter die like —I’m afraid mother will give It to ms. She often says I need a touch of trouble to round out my character. If she does, IV blow ft up with dynamite!’* “It really Is beet to elope,” cammen ted the friend. t ' ’ “That doesn't do a bit of good,** gloomily replied the girl who likes to talk. “They send 'em to yon afterward 1” —Chicago Daily News. Some people are never Fatlsfled imlsas they are spoiling good birds by crossing different brc tz.

SHOOTING A BUTTERFLY.

New Guinea Variety the Largest In the World and Bigger Than • Bird. The largest butterfly known to found only In British New Guinea and specimens are worth anything from SIOO upward. The male measures eight inches across the wings and the tomale not less than eleven inches, a wing spread exceeding that of many small birds. The story of the first dleoovery of this gigantic butterfly Is a curious one, says The Wide World. A natural--Ist saw a specimen perched on the toy of a tree and falling to captors It by any other means finally shot It From the fragments ho decided that the species w«i entirely unknown to science and he forthwith fitted out an expedition at a cost of many thousands of dollars to go In March ot the Insects. Two members of the party fell vlotlms to the Papuan cannibals and another was rescued only in the nick of time. Spite of this Inauspicious commencement to his enterprise, however, the naturalist persevered and ultimately succeeded In obtaining perfect specimens.

A Persistent Foe.

Much has been said of late In favor of the extensive cultivation of the black locust, and one railroad company Is reported to have ’planted nearly 1,500,000 trees of this species, with the view of utilizing their extraordinary durable wood. But Charles A. White of the Smithsonian Institution points out, In the Popular Science Monthly, that the black locust possesses a mortal enemy In a longtcorn beetle, which bores the wood through and through. It la a native of the same regions In which the tree flourishes, and depends upon the tree for its own existence. When population flowed to Illinois and lowa, the black locust was taken along. It flourished luxuriantly for some yean, until Its Insect foe followed It, and now, says Mr. White, nothing remains of the great groves of blade locust la the middle West except blasted remnants. The tree, native east of, the Allghenlee, from New York to the Gulf, was also transplanted to Europe, whither Its enemy has not followed 1L

Air Purification.

Purification of the air ot great cities is a subject which oontlnnally attracts wider attention. Recently the commissioners of works In London, alarmed by the establishment el factories consuming thousands of tons ot coal a week, have asked Parliament to consider the matter. They reoofnlze, for the first time officially, says the Engineer, that the getting rid of black smoke would not suffice to oure /he trouble. Other products of com-. ■ bustion besides soot, such as sulphurous and sulphuric add anl solid mineral particles, are deleterious to vegetation, to buildings, to metal objects, and to the plcturee, marbles and other treasures contained in museums. The elimination of these impurities from the air Is an important part ot vie problem.

The Noise of Wireless Telegraphy.

Many readers may be surprised to learn that the' electric sparks jtoployed In wireless telegraphy over long distances produce a noise that may be annoying for those living close by the station. At least lids has been the experience at the Eiffel Tow* nr in Paris, where the sparks from an apparatus possessing a powsr of 19 kilowatts have proved disagreeable to people several hundred yards away. Blnce it is now proposed to substitute apparatus of 40 kilowatts’ power, with the hope of sending communlcatloos direct from Paris to New York, the generating-station will be placed underground in order to smother the sound of the sparks.

Fine Point In Legal Testimony

“So,” said the judge, “you say that you never went to Chicago from Huntersville. Now this la a vary important point In the case and I give you one more chance to explain, tor you and Synder were seen on the saw train. Now you must be preels** "No, sir, I never went tb Chicago*." "Didn’t Snyder go?" "Yes, sir ” "And you war* with Mb. Mow out with it* "Yes, sir,’* answered the wltnees after a pause. "You see, I told the truth, because it waa this way: Wa sat opposite each other. He faced the engine, I didn't go to Chicago, I jot backed away from Huntersville.”

Big Heads and Large Minds

Big men have larger heads than small men, as a rule, not because their bodies are larger. And, therefore, the proportion of the heed to the whole organism most be taken into account Again, a larger head may inclose a comparatively small brain, and a thick skull by no means Indicates Intellectual foroe. Still further, a email brain may have a very fine quality of organism, and a larger brain may be very imperfectly organised. Taking all these factors Into aooount, we cannot always he sure that the man wearing the biggest hat la the possessor of tbs biggest brain.
