Paul Biser, the little boy who was attacked by a cow Thursday afternoon and suffered a broken leg, rested well last night, and hopes are now entertained for his recovery. The fracture is a bad one and- difficult to care for, because of the location.

ROSSER IS APPOINTED ML STATION AGENT

Freight and Ticket Agent For Pennsylvania Company at Local Office—Was Assistant 11 Years.

John V. Rosser has been appointed freight and ticket agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at the station in this city. Mr. Rosser has been assistant in the office in this city for eleven years, and is thoroughly familiar with the duties of the position. He had acted as agent for a period of six months at one time when the regular agent was off duty. He is capable and efficient, and will make a good man in the place.

IS A TICKLISH JOB THAT ABBOTT HAS

Is Good Judge of Pretty Babies, But Oh, My! Is Squirming For Loop Hole To Get Out.

J. R. Abbott, one of the veteran firemen of the city, is considerably disturbed over the fact that he has been assigned as superintendent of the Baby Show, in connection with the coming Horse Show and Home Coming. He says that he does not know why he was appointed to the position, for he is not conscious of any qualifications for such a position.

His friends, Wick Pugli and Hiram Thomas, tell him that he has sure trouble before him, and that it will be absolutely necessary that he take every precaution against assault from the defeated mothers whose babies fail to win the prize.

It is not generally known, but it is a fact that Abbott is one of the best judges of pretty babies in the county, and the committee on arrangements knew what it was doing when it appointed him. Babies of Mr. Abbott have won first prizes at three baby shows in this city within the past twenty-five years. So, of course, he knows. He will not, of course, be the judge in the coming show, but the judges, recognizing his superior judgment in such matters, will no doubt ask his opinion on beauty points.

Circuit Terminal Railway Preparing To Build—Working On Last Legs of First Two Divisions of Road.

The engineers of the Circuit Terminal Railway are working on the last leg of the first two divisions of tl^g road, the lines and levels are now complete from Danville to Deming by the way of Lebanon and Sheridan, the engineers expecting to complete the construction survey by the 20th of July, into Noblesville.

The citizens of Deming are highly elated by the change so the line will pass through thier town. This will mean a great deql to this place, as it will to New Winchester, in Hendricks county, as neither place has any transportation facilities.

It is understood that the High School may be opened at Deming, which would save long drives for many of the high school attendants.

Actual construction will be started as soon as the harvesting season is over, so there will be teams and men available. The bonds of the company have arrived from an eastern bond house, and will be issued in the near future.

IS ONLY SEVENTEEN BRIDE THREE TIMES.

Shelbyville Girl One of the Principals in Three Ceremonies, Although of Tender Years.

Mrs. Mary Luther, of Shelbyville, was married the third time Saturday, although she is only 17 years old. She was married the first tirQe when she was 14, and after a year her father forced her and her husband to part, when he learned that the man who had performed the ceremony was not a minister, as he claimed. Later she eloped with her husband and was married again. Recently she was given a divorce on the grounds of desertion, and married Gary Smith.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Ivokomo Dispatch, contrasting the wedding anniversary gift given his wife by a man of means, with a love letter written by the man of no means, to his wife on a like anniversary, makes use of the following, in which a tender chord is struck: "It is twenty-three years ago tonight since we first met—I only a month or two older than our younger boy, and you not much older than dear Jennie. For twenty-three years we have been closer to each pther than to anyone else in the world, and I think we esteem each other more and love one another better than when we first began to love. You are now 'fair, fat and forty,' and to me the mature woman is handsomer and more lovable than the slip of a girl whom twentythree years ago I met without know ing that my life was to be bound up with hers. We are not rich so poor just now, in fact, that all I can give you on this anniversary is a little love letter—but there is no one we can afford to envy, and in each other's love we have what no wealth can compensate for. And so let us go on, true and loving, trusting in Him to carry us farther who has brought us so far with so little regret. For twenty three years you have been mine and I have been yours, and though twen ty-tllree years your husband, I am more tlilm ever— Your Lover."

POTATO BUGS SAID TO BE NUMEROUS.

Potato bugs are said to be very numerous in some localities, while in others they are scarce. In some places they are not only devouring potato vines, but all kinds of vegetables, according to report. The potato crop is considerable of a failure at the best this year, and the ravages of the bugs will not be appreciated by the farmers.

E FROM TRIP,

Thos. Mitchell Was in Path of Cyclone Years Ago—Knew What It Was—He Carried Insurance.

Thomas Mitchell, of near Stringtown, was in Greenfield Friday. His shade trees and barn were damaged in the storm ten days ago. He and his family were away at the time fishing on Blue river. They were eally glad that they were not at home, for the reason that they would have been terribly frightened had they been there.

They were in the path of the terrible cyclone nine years ago, and while their property was not much damaged at that time, they learned what a real cyclone is like. Mr. Mitchell did not know that he was carrying any cyclone insurance at the time of his recent loss, but investigation showed that he was.

When the insurance men, Wood Bros., called on him some time ago, they insisted that he should carry some cyclone insurance with his fire insurance, but he did not think it necessary. They insisted, but when his loss occurred Mr. Mitchell did not know whether he had cyclone protection or not, until he examined his policy and found that he carried $600. He says cyclone insurance is all right.

Notice.

The sales of a really popular song run up into the thousands, and the lucky authors revel temporarily in the wealth it brings them. Jerome H. Remick & Co. have had as many as six of these songs selling at one time.

This is a remarkable record, but to have one writer furnish four of them seems almost a miracle. Percy Wenrich, one of our youngest song writers, has again demonstrated his ability to strike the popular fancy by his latest, "We've Kept the Golden Rule."

Founded, as it is, upon the oldest and greatest principle of moral philosophy, the lyric goes as straight to the hearts of the musicloving multitude as does the tuneful melody.

A sentiment similar to that of "Old Grey Bonnett" pervades this song, and young and old will benefit by its moral. When songs like "We've Kept the Golden Rule" Become popular, the wror!d is getting better. —Chorus— When we were playmates together, In all sorts of weather, I would whistle for you as we trot along to school. Through the green fields we'd ramble, And watch the lambs at gambol, And we've always kept the Golden

Rule.

This music, can be ordered from Jerome H. Remick & Co., 131 West Forty-first Street, New York.

THE FIRST POEM OF JAMES WHITCOMB"RILEY

Hamilton J. Dunbar died at Greenfield, Indiana, September 5, 1876. James Whitcomb Riley was then 23 years old, a sign paintel, and a handy boy' about the town in which he was born and brought up. Riley idolized Dunbar, as did all the town's folk in the Greenfield of that day.

Henry A. Buchtel, the Methodist Episcopal pastor, then at Knightstown, an alumnus of Dunbar's college, Asbury University (now DePauw), was asked to conduct the funeral service at the Dunbar home. Riley sat right against Buchtel as he stood at the head of the coffin to preach on immortality, and to pray and to speak the eulogy on the life and character of the idol of Greenfield. Riley said to Buchtel, twenty years afterward: "When the service was over I went home and wrote a poem on Ham Dunbar, and sent it to the Indianapolis Journal, and the literary people said, 'A poet has arrived.' And that was the first poem I ever wrote," said Riley, "that gave me the idea that I could be something else than a sign painter. So I always associate you," Riley said to Buchtel, "with the first poem I ever wrote."

That poem has never been published in any of Riley's books because it is- so personal. Following is an accurate copy made by Henry A. Buchtel for the students in the Summer Quarter of the University of Denver, in 1S11.

Foley's Honey and Tar Compound is effective for coughs and colds in either children or grown persons. No opiates, no harmful drugs. In the yellow package. Refuse substitutes. M. C. Quigley.

Edward Bok, in the current number of the Ladies' Home Journal, says that it is ill-bred to talk about your ailments, or to mention the fact that you have ever undergone an operation, etc. Among the relics of the past, says Mr. Bok, is that question, "How are you?" and if anyone asks it today, he does not expect it to be answered by an account of an illness, a description of an operation, or a list of pains, ^uch a reply shows a lack of breeding. That is Edward Bok's ultimatum, and, of ^Course, settles the question of talking about your own aches and pains forever.

HAMILTON J. DUNBAR—DIED SEPTEMBER 5, 1876.

Dead Dead Dead We thought him ours alone And none so proud to see him tread The rounds of fame, and lift his head Where sunlight ever shone But now our aching eyes are dim, And look thro' tears in vain for him!

Name Name Name It was his diadem Nor ever tarnish, taint of shame, Could dim its lustre like aflame Reflected in a gem, He wears it blazing on his brow Within the courts of Heaven now!

Tears Tears Tears Like dews upon the leaf That burst at last, from out the years. The blossom of a trust appears That blooms above the grief And mother, brother, wife and child Will sec it and be reconciled.

—J. W. R.

E TO PROTECT

Richmond Merchants Will Make a Book Showing Who Are Bad Pay and Who To Trust.

Richmond merchants are preparing to light against two scourges that are a heavy drain on legitimate trade, namely the dead beat customer and the dead fake advertising schemes. The Palladium says: "A committee to be appointed byPresident H. C. Hasemeier will prepare a rate book and those affiliating in the club will base the credit which they will extend to any one person on his standing as indicated by this book. "For several years the credit system, which merchants have extended has been based on a publication prepared at Lima, Ohio, and while in many ways the book was satisfactory, the local merchants determined they would prepare their own. Persons who are worthy and deserving of credit will be given credit in the ratio the merchants believe is due them. The rate book will be prepared solely for the purpose of protecting the merchants, who have been made victims of many "dead beats." It is probable the personnel of the committee will not be made public."
