Some Undesirable Business Rapping at Other Doors.

Franoesville Tribune. The physicians of Jasper county have organized what is known as the Jasper County Medical Society. The purpose of this society among other things is 'for the purpose of protecting each physician against that class in every community who are purposely “slow pays'’ and those “who never pay.” March Ist is the date set when the society will make up a list pf the undesirable creditors and those whose names appear upon the list after that date will .be refused the services oif any of the physicians who are members of the society. The physicians say that all people who are worthy of credit will not be affected by the new mandate but they are after that class who impose on first one physician afld then another until their credit is exhausted. This new order among the Jasper county physicians is beginning to “throw” some business over here, but just as soon as the local physicians discovered the rating of their “new patients” they declined to make further trips.

The markets are again falling and corn has dropped from 70 to 62 cents and oats to 50 cents. Arthur and Fred Cole, of Lafayette, are here today to attend tht F. W. Bedford funeral. W.

Ayr, was a Rensselaer visitor today and annexed his name to The Republican’s evergrowing subscription list. Mr. Smith wks induced by County Agent Barrette last year to plant soy beans and he had such splendid success with them that he expects to devote 35 acres to them this year. He turned his hogs in the beans the last of August and when he marketed them in January they averaged 244 pounds in weight. A neighbor’s hogs marketed a month later and not plastuerd in beans averaged 4 pounds less. The beans are regarded a fine fertilizer also.

Monticello a Great Town For Banquets—A Good Thing.

(Monticello is working the banquet to a fare-you-weli. Within the past week or two the Red Men, Businessmen and Farmers Chib, the Militia, the Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias have all had banquets. They hold over there that the way to the heart is through the stomach and that you can’t reason with a man when his stomach is empty. The Red Men had covers spread for 358. The size of the crowd and the corresponding merriment made it one of the happiest occasions that ever took place in that city. The businessmen and farmers have organized to promote the best interests of Monticello and to get better acquainted. The banquet they gave seated 160 represenative men. E. B. Sellers acted as toastmaster and his humorous introductions kept the large number of banqueters in a happy mood. Then came the militia banquet, when a committee from the businessmen’s organization were guests of honor. Then the Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias fell into line and gave banquets and it was just one big feed after another. We believe banquets are good tilings. They don’t cost very much and promote good feeling. There has not been a big banquet here for a long time and our Retail Merchants’ Association might promote one w r ith splendid effect. We know of severall editors who will be (there.

Ruling of Judge Anderson Sends Koffman Stock to Chi.

Judge Anderson iof the district federal court of Indianapolis has ruled that the stock off Israel Koffman, which has been stored here since the sudden disappearance of ‘The Beautiful Sol” early in December, shall be shipped to Chicago and turned over to the trustees there for disposal.

Their Boyhood Friend

Once, on a freight train, the brakeman said to his mate: “There’s a bum stealing a ride on that car up In front. Go and put him off, George.” George walked over the car tops till lM came to the tramp, and then wared: “Git off! Git, now!” But the tramp calmly drew forth a revolver, and George retreated over the car tops again. “Well, did you put him off, George?” the brakeman asked. "No, I hadn’t the heart to,” George replied. “He’s an old boyhood friend es mine, poor feller.” “Well, I’ll settle him,” said the brakeman grimly, and he in his turn set off over the cars toward the tramp “Did you settle him?” George asked later. “No,” was the answer. “He turned out to be an old boyhood friend ol mine, too.”

The Irate Farmer

A man riding a wheel along a coun try road In late October dismounted, climbed a fence and picked up an apple from the ground. He stood eating It when a farmer came along. “Say, what’re yon doin’ there?" the latter asked. The man alarmed for the moment, apologized, and said he had picked the up from the ground. “Waal,” half snorted the fanner coming closer to the man, “don’t yoq go doin’ anything like that ag’in. Und’stand?” “All right, sir,” said the man. “But I thought It would be all right because I found the apple on the ground.” "Waal, that’s jiat It,” cried the farm er. “Them apples on the ground is fur my hogs. If you want one, you pick it off the tree.”

Why She Wept

Governor Dunne was reminiscent. "When I was a boy in school,” he said, “we always had a lecture every Friday afternoon. One Friday a geologist lectured about Niagara Falls, and told us that in the course of some 200,000 years they would have worn their way back to Erie, and that town would be left high and dry. Suddenly the lecture was Interrupted by one of the girls in the class, who began to sob hysterically. “ ‘Why,*Edith,’ sried the teacher, ‘are you ill? What is the matter?* “‘Oh,’ wailed the girl, Tny sister lives in Erie.”

Would Not Tarry Long

At the first meal on board the ocean liner Smythe was beginning to feel like casting his bread upon the waters. His friends told him that when he began to feel thqt way he should stuff himself. He tackled a cutlet first, but it didn’t taste right. He observed to the waiter: “Waiter, this cutlet isn’t very good.” The waiter looked at his whitening face, then replied: “Yes, sir; but for the length of time you’ll ’ave hit, sir, hit won’t matter, sir.”

SHRINKAGE.

“She swore that she would love me ‘forever and a day.’ That was her phrase.” “And didn’t she keep her promise?” “Only partly. She loved me for a day.”

Had More Than Enough

Tommy, haying disposed of three helpings Of sausage and doughnuts, sat mournfully regarding his empty plate. Observing his pensive expression, Aunt Sarah kindly asked: “Tommy, won’t you have some more doughnuts?” “No’m!” the poor lad replied, with feeling emphasis. “I don’t want then! I got now.”

Depresing Influence

“So you don’t like that professional optimist?” “Not much,” replied Mr. GTowcher; “there are times when I might forket my troubles if he were not constantly advising me_to make a terrible effort to cheer up.” -

Rough on Harold

“My love!” “Yes, Harold!” “What did your mother say when you told her you were angaged to me?” 4 “Said she knew the silly season was about due.” >

No Deception

She —“Y6u told me at the seaside that you were In business for yourself, and I find you a clerk In a store.” He —“I was In business for myself last summer. I peddled suspenders."

Swallowing Abilities

Jack-tar—“to mightn't believe it, but whales have a very small mouth.” Landsman—“ Yes, I’ve heard they wouldn't even be able to swallow half the stories that are told about them.”
