Relic of Past School Days Found Among Old Papers.
An old resident of tbis city in looking over some old papers found the following1 essay, which was written by bis father when nine years old, nearly one hundred years ago. It shows that the dreaded essay was an important feature of the school days of long ago as well as of more recent years. It reads: "I am 9 years old today and pa says I only lack 960 years being as old as Metbeusalem. "Say, we have a bird dog. I can outrun him myself. It has been along time since I seen a dog that was worth a cent. I believe the breed of dogs tias run out. 1 wish I had a dog like old Tip used to be. He would be worth at least $100 spot cash. You could have got 2 jug handle patterns out of the crooks of his tail and had enough tail left to make a pair of ear muffs by splitting. "I wrote to Uncle Josh and •asked him to pay us a visit as we have plenty to eat. Got plenty of coal and some wood. We milk six cows, but it won't pop. We still eat mush, have plenty of chickens, a few beans, •cabbage, potatoes and onions, but I don't eat onions, garlic, asafoetida or oysters, and I •am not fond of Limberger •cheeese, but I can eat it by putting my head under water and then using medicamentum to take the taste out of my mouth. "Well I expect tbis will be a •mixed- winter for I notice that the ground squirrels are all ?striped. Now if they will •offer a prize for the best essay, •then i'm in the fight."

Sunday will be Rally day at "the Second M. E. church. The morning service will be at 10:30. iS.ubject: "The Gospel Call." 'There will be preaching at 3 p. m. by Rev. Mrs. MoCullougb.

Former Hancock County Horse Sells for $6,000.
The Western Horseman this week contains the following relative to tbe sale of a former Gresnfield horse "Hidalg®, trained over the Indianapolis track two years ago and raced down the Grand Circuit this year by Mart Demarest, has been purchased by Lon McDonald for Ralph Williams, of Boston, for $6000. Demarest drove Hidalgo a mile in 2:07.
Hidalgo is by Warren C. He was foaled the property of John Hayes Duncan, of North Skate street. Mr. Duncan broke him and had him driven for a while on the Greenfield track. Afterwards he placed him in the hands of Float Jolly, of Tipton, who trained the colt on the Indianapolis State fair track until he purchased it of Mr. Duncan for §400 at three years old. Mr. James O'Donald raised the dam of the colt and sold her to Mr. Duncan. Mr. Duncan sold her to Mack Warrutn who kept her until she died.
The sire of the colt is owned by Warren Cannady of Knightstown.
HUNTERS IN THE FIELDS.
Rabbits Plentiful but Quail Are Scarce.
Those who are fond of trailing through the woods and fields with dog and gun in quest of other game are afield in quest of other game. Guns that had been idle for weeks and months have been brought out and limbered up, while the dogs were taken out in the backyard, or nearby commons and given a few lessons.
Rabbits are said to be plentiful and quail is reasonably so, but as the latter can fly from one field to another and numbers of farms are posted, the chauces to bag a lot of quail is rather limited.
Rabbits being larger' game and standing less chance of getting away, the slaughter of these will doubtless be very large. The hunting laws are very strict, however, and the fellow who was so foolish as to start out without having complied with tbe game laws will no doubt regret it before he has hunted long, as every farmer he meets will want to see his hunting license. The hunting season opened Nov. 10 and you mn hunt rabbit and quail evening of December 31st.

No hunter is allowed to kill more than twenty-four quail any one day and he is strictly forbidden to sell or offer any of them for sale directly or indirectly at any time. A fine of $10 is provided for each quail sold or offered for sale.
Hunters should npt forget that they are likely to be arrested for trespass if they do not get the consent of the owner or tenant of any land before entering thereon. For an offense of this kind the fine ranges from $10 to $25. The number of farmers who will not permit hunters on their farm is increasing each year.

GREENFIELD, INDIANA. SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24,1906. .-
ministers Were Delinquent.
There area number of couples living in this county who, should they desire to secure legal proof of their marriage, would be unable to do so. This is not from any fault of their own but because some ministers of the county have failed to make a proper return of the marriage. The records as far back as 1900 show licenses issued to couples but does not show that a marriage ceremony was ever performed. Should these couples desire to prove their marriage there would be no way as far as tbe county ueoords are concerned.
Morristown Man Fined.
David McOormacsk, of Morristown, formerly of this city, was given a fine and costs amounting to thirty-three dollars in Justice HensJey's court in Union township on Thursday on a charge by Miss Anna Gnau. According to the woman's statements to Prosecutor Bassett, she went to the McCormack home in Morristown several weeks ago to stay with McCormack, who had promised to marry her notwithstanding he has a wife living in Indianapolis.

Fencing and a General Good Time by Young People.
The Coming Men of America gave a reception last night at their club rooms in the Boyd block that ... was the source of great enjoyment to the young men and fcheir guests, which included more than twenty-five couples.
1
Tlae rooms were very prettily decorated in the colors of the fraternity—red, white and blue, under the direction of Ralph Ellison.
One of the features of the program that was greatly enjoyed was the following "Prophecy" by Ray Denny: "It was in the year 2000, when sailing across the country in my airship, I ran into a wireless telegraph line, with great damage to the ship. Far below me I saw a beautiful town-, I descended slowly with the intention of having my ship repaired. Arriving safely I left the ship in tbe handfc of mechanics and started for a stroll about the the town. "One of the first things I saw was a sign which read, 'DeWitt Cooper, alias Sherlock Homes II.' Then the thought struck me that this must be my old home town of Greenfield in which I had spent so many happy days, and I conclnded to call and see if this was really my old friend Cooper. After I ascended two flights of very narrow stairs I came to a door on which were the words, 'DeWitt Cooper, Detective.' Prom this room a noise was issueing which seemed as if several wild animals had been loosened together. I knocked but received no answer. Then I tried the door and finding it unlocked, walked in. The room was a sight. Chairs were overturned Books and papers were scattered all over the floor, and signs of pandemonium were everywhere1 about. I could see two figures in the wreck, but the moment I entered the noise I had heard ceased. The two forms began to gather themselves together and I perceived were looking for a chair. As they appoached me imagine my surprise and delight to behold my old friends, Cooper a,nd Ellison. I said,'What kind of a show are you fellows giving anyhow?' Ellison did not reply, but hung1 his head. Cooper however, with head up and kingly air, that I remembered so well, said, 'We are rehearsing ''Dr* Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Ellison went over in a corner and seated himself.
After mutual congratulations etc. I asked Cooper how it was

A program decidedly out of!rests
the ordinary was provided for the entertainment of the guests, the fencing contests being the best exhibition of tdat old time sport ever given in Greenfield. The principal contest was be tween Jack Rollins, of Indianapolis, and Hugh Goble. of this city, and was won by tbe former by the small margin of 14 to 13. Jack Sells and Paul Pierce were seconds and DeWitt Cooper timekeeper. A second contest between Hugh Goble and John Sells was won by the fonmer 4 to 2. Great interest was manifested in the play of tbe swords. Refreshments of cocoa and wafers were served.

that I found he and Ellison together. 'It is a long, sad story,"1 be said. Then he related to me* how it was tbat Ellison had met: with reverses in love. Ris sweetheart had gone with a handsomer man, and he had beeome a sour crabbed old man, beyond his time—a sworn enemy to petticoats and perfumery, -j He had in pity taken him in a& a substitute for an office boy. "Of course I was anxious ta bear ot the rest of the 'gang' of the old day and Cooler was pleased to relate the following story: 5 -I will start with our mutual friend Charley Mulvihili, I We used to call him "Mickey," you remember. The old name still bangs to him. He eloped with a milliner and he now

while she makes the living. Harry Slifer is on the stage and takes the part of Romeo. He is? a star in the baleony scene. He has never married, but rumor has it that the bee is in his bonnet.' ... "Then it was I heard a"shrill but melodious voice coming up from tbe street, 'Any rags, old iron.' 'That,' said Cooper, is. the firm of Pierce, Sipes & Co* Tbe company is made up of their wives, who it is said, are the keepers of tbe till.' "At this point in the conversation Ellison jumped from his chair and made a center rush for a desk that stood near the center of the room. Cooper sa** tbat was an old time habit of his and was harmless. "Hughes, the fellow we used to call 'Jesse Dear,' is still playing with hot air. He was leader of the band but the attractions of the girls were too much and he lost out. "Wilson and Barr are on the police force. Bernie Knight is running a laundry. ''Just then there came a call for the detective and I was obliged to cut short, pur interview."
The fraternity of Coming Men of America was organized in this city over two years ago. Nicely furnished club rooms are maintained that make an inviting rendezvous for tbe members. The officers are Ray Denny, president Ralph Ellison, vicepresident DeWitt Cooper,secretary Bernard Knight, treasurer, Paul Pierce, speaker Chas. Mulvihill, director Frank Sipe* sentinel. There are 29 members.
