LYCEUM COURSE.

Our city is to have a course of entertainments and lectures during the coming winter. One of the most enthusiastic committees that ever took up a lyceum course met at the public , library Wednesday evening ,and decided to put on a series of lecture and entertainments. The committee tried to anticipate the wishes and needs of the community in selecting the talent. Four big numbers with a probable home talent number will make up the course. The four -numbers consist of an orchestra number, male quartette, a humorous lecture and one educational lecture. This will be a better course and a more expensive one than was ever put on in Rensselaer,

“THE BLUES.”

Sahelva subject, but I know something about the blues. Everybody does, only somepeople won’t expose you when they have them. The blues are a menace. The blues are just as contagious as enthusiasm, only a person nursing the blues should be quarantined. Some day people will realize that the good things in life are really the. most contagious. Just expose yourself to the bright side and the blues won’t get you. The shortest poem ever copyrighted was entitled “The Blues.” It runs: - Hadem. There was reason for Adam to have the’ blues. There was but one woman and he had no car, no Vesta battery. Demand these blue-less luxuries before you follow Adam. — Hugh Kirk.

DOOR WASN’T WIDE ENOUGH.

While driving his automobile past his place of business on Washington street the other evening, B. J. Jarrette suddenly remembered that he had forgotten some papers which were lying on his desk in his store. He turned the machine quickly toward the curb, but -neglected to bring the car to a halt with the result that it climbed right over the curb and continued until it banged into the front end of the store. Mr. Jarrette states that it was his idea to drive through the front door, grab the papers on the move and leave by the rear entrance without stopping the engine. Aside from a bent bumper no damage resulted. Mr. Jarrette is the gold fish salesman.

Some of Them — Each of some 6,000 newspapers of the United States is publishing from week to week, names of people in its particular neighborhood, who have used and recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills for kidney backache, weak kidneys, bladder troubles and urinary disorders. This mass of proof includes over 50,000 recommendations. Rensselaer is no exception: Here is one of the Rensselaer cases: Jacob R, Wilcox, retired farmer, says: “I suffered from backaches and severe pains across my loins. I couldn’t rest day or night and was tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were highly colored and contained sediment. Nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from Fendig’s Drug Store. They relieved the aches and pains, I could rest better nights and my kidneys were regulated.” Over eight years later. Mr. Wilcox said: “I continue recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as a rpliable medicine. They have never failed to do good work.” ‘ Price 1 60 c, at aM dealers.

HARVEY DAVISSON LOSES A $500 VICTORY BOND.

.Harvey Davisson had the misfortune to lose or have stolen a SSOO Vicotry Liberty bond Wednesday. He had just paid for it a few days before and drawn it from Hie bank. Tuesday h e put it in his pocket, intending to apply it a debt. He carried it around in his inside coat pocket all day Tuesday and remembers to have seen it Wednesday morning when he put bn his coat. He had placed it te a day book end one end of the bond extended outside the book and he remembers pushing the bond back an the book when he put on his coat. When he went down town he took off his coat and laid it in his automobile which was parked in front of his office next to the Trust & Savings bank. Later he took a drive |o his farm in Hanging Grove township and did not discover his loss until the noon hour after his return. He fears that someone standing near the car noticed the bond protruding. from the day book in his pocket and abstracted it, in which event its recovery is doubtful, as it was an unregistered bond. Mr. Davisson is advertising his loss elsewhere and will pay a liberal reward for its return. He has re- ■ ported the loss to the government and it is possible that some day it may be recovered, if stolen. The number of the bond is F 648250.

Nine carriers and families responded, arriving before noon with well filled baskets and prodigious appetites and when the dinner was spread in the shade on. the porCh, the heaped-up plates of chicken fried to just “that golden brown,” cakes that would melt in the mouth and—and (well, who can name it all?) was sight enough to make water drip from a hungry mail carrier’s mouth like that from the “spile” in sugar making time, and then after dinner here comes John surprising us wfith some excellent ice cream. Oh, my at such times one is tickled all over that one is a mail carrier. The afternoon was spent in pleasant conversation and exchange of experiences, pleasant, amusing and otherwise that fells to the lot of a mail carrier, after which Mr. Hayes was given a vote of thanks and with best wishes for those that were not present as well as for those that were we betook ourselves hqme, onging for the next similar meeting to be not far away.—Contributed.
