The Circuit Court.

Case ot Mary F. Overman versus the Carthage Turnpike Company for $0,000 damages is now oa in court. The attorneys are L. P. Newby, of ICriightstown, aud R. A. Black for plainti!!: Puntenny «.V Barrett, from Rushville, and Marsh Cook for the defendant.

After the jury had been sworn 'in the case of Mary F. Overman vs Carthage Turnpike Co. but before any of the evidence was introduced Mr. Ephriam Mar-h called the attention of the court to tho death ofSuloman E. Jackson, son of U. S. Jackson and by consent of the members' of the bar present, Julge Offutt appointed S. A. Wray,I?. L.Mason and Raymond Geary to prepare andj? resent appropriate resolutions at a meeting of the bar to be called.

The Aruott Litiul Divided.

The heirs of the late Mrs. Jane Arnet.t of Buckereek township concluded they would settle her estate outside of the court. They therefore selected J. C. Eastes, Harvey O.auldweK aud Wm. McC^nnell to divide the land up among the ftvvi heirs viz. Wm. Arnett, Mrs. A. Grist, Mrs. Benj. Ronev. Mrs. Robert Wilson and Mi^s Luciuda Arnett, of this county, and Mrs. Sarah ^Martin, of Indianapolis. After the laud was divided the heirs all signed up the deeds with out knowning what they were to get but when they did hear all were satisfied. Tho amount of land divided was 418 acre --. 1' is indeed a very satisfactory aud quick way of teilling the estate.

THE OLD TIME FRIENDS.

"I like to moot tho old time friends," the I speaker said, "for, oh I The best part of our lives is in the days ol long ago I

And memory's sun upon the past in mellowed light descends. I want to -e the scenes of old and meet the old time friends 1

"Swuet memory wnars them In her crown— her brightest diadem, I stretch my arms and fain would share my heart—my all with them! And on thi-ir love that trusting heart with tenderest love depends. The dearest friends earth holds for me are still the old time friends!"

Then one walked weeping from the crowd— and no one sought to check, He grasped the speaker by the hand and iell tipon his neck, And said: "I'm Jones, the grocery man— though changed and broken so. I wish you'd aud a twenty to that bill of long ago!"

Then the speaker changed the subject, and lie f'ei/.id a luokorv stick And shouted to the audience, "Here's a raving lunatic!" And tuey trounced him, and thoy bounced I linn, and they hustled him, and, oh! They sent him up lor thirty days—that friend or long acol I —Atlanta Constitution.

A XIGUT RIDE.

Ttie bicycle is a qr.oer instrument. You think yon .know ll about it tlirn I I suddenly vou find vhovo arc sv: 11 thiiios iu k-iiiii. T110 oihor evening I got on my bicycle aud worked zny way for live or 1 six miles thronuh one of the prettiestlane.- 11.1 Inland to a country village where a friend of nunc lives. The lane which loads to this village is one iu which I did a good deal of practicing when I urst took to the bicycle some month,-- ago. It is bordered by hedges and trees ou each side and looks like a I long green tunnel through which the sun sends some fhtformg, flickering rays down 011 tho excellent roadway, making a sort of dancing carpet of light and 1 shade, ercrnally weaving themselves together aud mimicking shadow and sunshine the interlacing of the trues above.

But there is, alas, along the side of 1 this lane a ditch with which I have helore now made acquaintance while teaching myself how to ride. It is always a pleasant experience for a bicyc.?er to revisit a spot v.hcro ho lias had 1 his conflicts with the machine. It gives liini svjLi.se of having accomplished 1 something. I recognized all tho places where I had been thrown in the ditch and where I had been thrust through the hedge. It was nice to know that these exciting d:iys were past, and that I now rode the niachino as if I were a part of it.

The lane is a lonely place at any time of the day. Broader roads and more directi ones lead to the little village I have I spoken of, but'whoso name I need not mention. My friend proved so entertain- I ing that I staid on and on. I was invited to stop for dinner, and I did. I was afterward censured for this, when I ultimately did reach homo. People in I the country, I was told, were not al- I ways prepared to receive unexpected

visitors to dinner. It was not the thing to drop down with my bicycle upon a helpless man in tho country and then hang around tho premises until I was invited to dinner. I am always putting my foot in it this way. It makes me feel guilty afterward, but what is a man to do?

It was pitc!i dark when I left the house, and tt hen I came to the entrance of the lane it was even darker than pitch, if such a thing be possible. I lit my bicycle lamp for the first time in my life. The lamp had cost mo a lot of money and was said to be the best in the market, but when it tried to compete with the appalling darkness of the lane I saw what a futile thing it was. It shed a dim circle of light a long way ahead that didn't seem to me to bo of much practical use. I pushed the machine along and sprang lightly on its back. Now I thought I knew how to rido perfectly, but I was to find out that riding in the broad daylight aud riding in the darkness are two entirely different things. I'ho machino gave a wabble first in one direction and then in the other aud my heart came into my mouth when I found that unless I saw the wheel I did not kixrw how to balance the concern. Sitting down a moment aftenvard, fortunately not on the side whore the ditch was, I had some time to meditate on the situation. The wheel was 011 top of me, and the lamp was out. This was old times over again, and I had not oven the chance in the darkness to select the spot on which to fall. I did not like the idea of trundling the machine all the way along the lane when I ought to be able to do so much better time on its back, so I rose slowly, placed the machine upright again, and rolit the lamp, The lamp hung on a couple of vacillating flanges which apparently were actuated by springs and gave the lamp a wabbly motion when you joggled unexpectedly over a stone. I got once more upon the machine, this timo with better success, and we went along nicely for some distance. Then I got off again. Coming along that road in the daylight the lane seemed perfectly smooth and unobstructed. Yet I suddenly came against some unseen obstacle that appeared to mo as I alighted to be a bowlder lying on the road. It was iu

reality a st^ne about the size of my fist. The lamp had gone out of course simultaneously with my fall. This

goes out whenever I joggle over anything. I have been told that it was on account of the bad oil I was using, but I have since secured the most expensive oil in tho market, an oil with a beautiful name, but the lamp joggles out just the same. ^..After going over the stono I saw that -I had to do something definito with the lamp. I took out my handkerchief and tied, down tho springs, so that the disk of light touched the front wheel. This wasn't so bad, as it showed me plainly the stones in the .road, but hardly in time for me to avoid them, although I did dodge some by performing acrobatic feats that usually led to the ditoh. In my evolutions and anxiety about the

lamp I had forgotten the existence of that ditch, but ir was there just the same, lying low and saying nothing. I found it without the least trouble. The lamp went out again, of course, and I began to lcar that I would not have matches enough to last until I got into the radius m' street lamps. I crawled out of the ditch, righted the machine and once more applied a match to the wick. I had lost the handkerchief, but I tied the lamp dov^n with the oiling cloth. I was bowling along at a rapid and satisfactory pace through the bright circle of light in front of me, when all at once, within an incredibly short distance, there appeared before me a young man and a young woman, strolling along together with their arms about each other's waists. Thoir backs were tott'ard me, and the lamp did not shine far enough, ahead to let them know I •was coming. Of course, if I had had presence of mind. I could have steered around them and passed on, but they had become so suddenly silhouetted 1 aeainst the darkness:, just as a magic lantern picture is thrown upon a screen, 1 that tho unexpected sialic drove what little sense I had clear away from me, 1 and I gave one terrific yell

fit

Wii-.ily

to rouse

any recently dead man and flung myself from the machine. Tho girl complicated matters by

throwing her arms

around '.ho young man's neck and calling upon Inm to protect her, winch he had no chance to do, because tho

instant the machino climbed his back. I Wo three. wre in a hear) in that silent lane before any of us knew what had happened, and of course the lamp went our. By way of excusing myself and saying something conciliatory I shouted out:

What in the name of the prince of darkness are yovi two dawdling along this lane in the middle of the night, for':"

The yor.ng man intimated to me in rather harsh language that if I would be good enough to wait there uulil he found his stick lie would show mo what, he was doing. However, I found my machine first, aud being in an utterly reckless mood I sprang upon it without examining it to see if anything were broken cr not, though I knew that no ordinary fall would injure that machine, and away I -went, and left them there. I did not se,e that any explanation on my part would help matters, so I thought it best to leave well enough alone, which I did. Little use as the lamp was I found it had its advantages, because the lane turned a short distance ahead. In fact, it was always turning, even in the

daylight, although I had never noticed that particularly before, and this timo I ran square into the hedge 011 the side opposite tho ditch. I extricated the machine and onoo more lit the lamp. I th jught perhaps ir, was safer not to attempt to ride any more, and so walked along, trundling the wheel, for I knew there was a bridge some distance ahead that had nc parapets and I did not want to enter into an encounter with it. As I walked along beside tho bicycle I saw something move. 011 the side of the road and within the circle of light. A stalwart, unkempt tramp, who had been making the roadside his bedroom, rose up on his eibott' and said menacingly: "Say, marster, can you oblige mo with a match?" "Yes, lean," I said climbing npon my machine and putting the wheels in motion. "Get on your bicycle and we'll have a match. Come along!" He merely stood up and cursed 1110 in loud and forcible language.

I thought my troubles well over on coming to the street lamps. I was bowling along within half a mile of my own house when suddenly a policeman stepped out into the middle of the road. "Stop!" he cried, and having a respect for the law I stopped and got off the machine. "What are you doing," he demanded, "traveling with your lamp out?" "Good gracious," I said, "my lamp isn't out!" but on looking around I found, alas, it was, and I had not noticed the fact, so well tt7as the street lighted. I assured him that it had been lighted a moment before, and that it must have jogged out. "If you will put your hand on the lamp," I said, "yottwill find it is quite hot."

He did so and shook his head. I touched the lamp myself, for it, when lighted, becomes uncomfortably hot (it smokes worse than I do), and, would you believe it, it was as cold as a rich relation from whom you want to borrow money. "You will have to come with mo," he said. "Won't a cash payment down save me the trouble of appearing before a magistrate:" "No, it won't," said the policeman. "I must do my duty.

I detest a policeman who has to do his duty, so I said "Oh, very well! I joggled some money out of my pocket as I dropped off. You took me so by surprise. I'm going to light my lamp and look for it.

I lit the lamp and backed the machino up a bit. The policeman kindly helped me to look for the coins, but when his back was bent I pushed my machine forward a bit and sprang on it My lamp was lit He blew his whistle, but I managed to turn down a side street, then down another, and so managed to get safely homo. But, much as I like the bicycle, I have mado up my mind that night rides aro too exciting for me until I get a lamp that, like that policeman, will do its duty.—New York Advertiser.
