THE CHICKEN THIEF.

The chicken thief was in •earlier times a bird of what the calls fral natura, that is, having" a free nature. He- was on a par with the maple syrup thief, the watermelon thief and the ax handle timber thief of the time. All of these, and others of their like of greater or lesser degree were co-existent evils with the skunk and the "fever'n ager" of pioneer days.

In fact, it was regarded as a huge joke on some farmers for a, "town dood" or the son of a neighbor to slip up to the rail fence roosting place, swipe half a dozen feathery flutterers and steal away to a place of safety under cover of the sur-l rounding darkness. Oftentimes he would steal the chikens from a farmer then take them to the sugar camp ot that same farmer and proceed to ''sugar off" and roast chickens at the same fire and at the same man's expense.

In those good old-fashioned days the people used the brimstone matches which did not snap when lighted and the favorite method of the chicken thief was to strike one of those ancient matches, hold it under

Mr. Chicken's nose, and, presto, off he tumpled from the perch just as soorj as the odor of the brimstone struck his nostrils, and that too, without a single squeak to awaken the drowsy in embers of the tired household.

Tue watermelon thief was a great joker who did not steal melons either because he was hungry or poor, but because he wanted to outwit the owner of 1 he melon patch "just for the fun of it."

The ax handle timber thief was an industrious chap. Ax bandies were always in demand, I because all woodmen used axes in clearing away the forest,

The best ax handles were made of timber cut from small hickorj' sapling's which were very tough. These saplings did not grow everywhere and the man was envied on whose farm they were found, hence the origin development and prosperity of the ax handle timber thief. He stole the timber, split it up and made ax handles of it which he sold at fifty cents each. With the fifty cents he bought forty cents worth of plug tobacco and ten cents worth of soup beans and declared that life was realiy worth living.

But those halcyon days of primitive manners and customs have given place to more modern ideas and notions. So thoroughly has the modern chicken raiser become saturated .vich the withering influences of avarice and greed that he will not even sit idly by under the shade of the old apple tree and permit the frolicsome youth to pluck his fowls from the roost and carry them awajr without a protest.

The modern farmer goes even farther than this. He is so hard hearted and cruel that he even telephones all over the neighborhood and informs his friends of the little joke that the foxy stranger has played upon him, and before the cheeky chap has time to get out of the county an officer nabs him and he is hailed into the presence of the magistrate.

Here he stoutly asserts that he only intended to have a little fun and that he "didn't mean anything," but the hard headed magistrate does not seem to be able to discern the funny spot in the proceedings and promptly proceeds to commit the chap to durance vile for such time as seemeth good to him.

When the enterprising rustler has served his time as a common felon he either goes back home vowing vengeance against such stupidity or seeks a newer county where men are free. Such is the modern view of as small a misdemeanor as stealing chickens which is resulting in the passing of the chicken thief.

At the Annual Meeting of the Indiana. Association of the Veterans of the Mexican War, held in the city of Greenfield, on the 19th and 20th of September, 1905, the officers ot the As-' sociation was constituted a committee to draft suitable resolutions and memorials in regard to the death of our honored. comrade who has died during

the past year.

Captain M. L. Paulus died at bis home in Greenfield on the 6th day of August, 1905, surrounded by his family and friends, and for the'past year he had been a great sufferer He bore up with that fortitude and patience which was evident that his reliance wras "in Him who rules the destiny of all things, and when his spirit departed for realms above .he knew the will of God had been accomplished Our comrade M. L. Paulus was a very energetical member of both State and National Association of the the Veterans of the Mexican War, and the Marshal of both organizations for many years, and was recognized by them as indispensable in their parades or marches. Let us emulate his many virtues and cherish in our memory the kindly recollections of this faithful comrade, and while we keenly feel the blow which severs the tie, we bow in humble submission to the divine will and share with the widow and family in their great loss.

Therefore, be it Resolved, That this memorial be recorded in our minutes, and a copy be mailed to the widow and family of our deceased comrade, and a copy furnished to the press of Greenfield.

Summer Colds

Summer Colds, Hay Fever, Rose Catarrh and Influenza might be classed as Summer Grip and are most distressing and exasperating, especially for those who cannot indulge in an ocean voyage or a trip to the mountains. The suffering is keen and acute for the stay-at-homes.

POSTOFFICE SUPEEDED

Carrollton Will Hereafter Be a Rural Route

When James vVhitco't'nb said: "The iittie town of holt is good enough for m?

scarce

a ii

nought the time ouit

ever come when the postal authorities of the United States would wipe the place from the map, so far as making- it a point from which mail was to be distributed. Neither did Riley think at that time that the little old jog trotting ranch pony from the western wilds would bring the papers and the letters and the circulars and the garden seeds right up to the frontdoor of the Griggsbys, the Samples and the Brizendines.

But such is the irony of the fate that goes ahead of the monstercolummof civilizat

its resistless march through the ages in a nation whose ideals of today become realities of tomorrow and whose most fanciful dreams of cne century become the living entities of the next, and on next Monday "thp little town of Tailholt" will cease to have a postoffice arid anyone addressing letters to friends at that place will please not forget that Fountainlown R. R. No. 2, is the proper incription to appear on the back of the envelope.

The little village in question bears the distiction of having* three names: Carrollton, Reedville and Tailholt. When the town lots were first laid out they were sold at public auction by Joe Little, a waggish auctioneer who lived and flourished near the town of Freeport in Shelby count}^, and whose profession consisted of crying sales, swapping horses, running- a blacksmith shop and'^managinga fine 80 acre farm in Blue river vallej7. When "Joe" had finished selling the lots of the village in question, some one called out "name it, Joe, name it. 'Instantly came the exclamation, "Call it Tailholt," and to this day some of the older residents in about the place call it Tailholt.

When the government was asked to establish a postoffice there the name wouldn't go down the official Eosophagus and the name of Carrollton was chosen as it ran more "trippingly on the tongue," as Shakespear would have said it.

The name Carrollton was all right and was lisped by the "babies, spoken by mature manhood and mumbled by old age until along came the C. H. & D. railroad. It needed it for a station. The name Carrollton wouldn't do as there was already a Carrollton on the line over in Ohio, so they gave it the name Reedville. There has always been a question as to the distinguished personage in whose honor the place was named, whether it was attorney Jim Reed, now of this city, but then living near the place, or to Joe Reed, local fiddler, shoemaker and philosopher.

At any rate the town attained some distiction as a trading point which it holds yet, it having two stores, a saw-mill, an elevator, two churches and graded school. The town is all right and the people are all right because it is situated in a splendid farming district and is in Hancock county.
