The first question a man asks when he sees a girl flirting is whether she is respectable or not it raises a doubt at once. This being the case, no modest girl can afford tti indulge in the pastime. When the down is brushed from a peach its beauty is so marred that it can never be restored, and when a young girl throws lightly aside that sweet and modest reserve so becoming to a maiden, and' which so elevates her and enables her to command the great charm she becomes rather cheap and common, to use no rash terms.—Ex.
A Jolly Crowd.
A number of the young people from Jackson township, picnicked on Blue River Thursday.

Those present wrere Zula Padgett, Jessie Fields, Margaret Gilson, Dorothy Giles, Myrtle Field, Lulu Vernon, Messrs. Morgan Scott, Ed Gilson, James Scott, Grant Bever, Eddie Byers, Aldice Smith and Floyd Vernon.
McConnell Family Reunion. The reunion of the David McConnell family was held last Sunday in the beautiful grove of Mr. McConnell, near McCordsville. Almost a hundred and seventy-five people were in attendance, and a most joyous occasion resulted. A mighty spread of toothsome viands was partaken of under the rugged elms, and many a happy jest went around, while toasts of the older Anes regaled the assembly, while the younger and more romantic members whose thoughts wandered to sweet communion, bounding in hopeful anticipations for the future, grouped themselves along the greensward, and gave vent lo youth ful gaiety which spoke the light heart, and childish innocence.
The scene was one to awaken in the heart and soul of Father McConnell, now nearing his eightieth milestone, scenes of other days that appear as but a fortnight, when he was one of the boys teeming with mirth and hope for a glorious future. He has been rewarded by seeing his loved ones gathered about him, honored, respected, confident that his life has been though busy, a happy and contented one. Having been bereft of his life companion about a year ago, he is like one that awaits the call to join the hosts on the other shore, but filled with happiness, as he sees those he loves here, circulating about him.
It was one of those grand, mild days, where youth, old age, and the middle-aged met and exchanged the lad greetings, sang the old songs, and cemented stronger the ties of love and consolation. The speaker of the occasion touched the hearts of his auditors with kindly words and a devout benediction.
Charles Barr and daughter, Jennie, of this city, were in attendance and enjoyed the reunion immensely.

The Bicycle.
Will the bicycle ever "come back" to its -once popular place some ten to fifteen years ago? This is a question that has been asked many times lately. For some purposes the bicycle is even more popular than when their use was first begun. Business and professional men use them more, but it is generally conceded that they will never be as generally popular as they once were, when boys, girls and young men rode them almost constantly. Then long trips were made for pleasure and boys ran races, and clubs were organized to make long jaunts ahross the country. Dealers sell a great many bicycles, however, now, but they are used chiefly as time savers and distance annihilators by business and professional men and workmen.
Extremely Dry.
James A. Swain, of Brandywine township, enjoys a good joke. He was over in Rush county a few days ago and was telling how dry it had been in Hancock county this summer, when a joker said: "That's nothing compared with how dry it was in Rush county three years ago. It was so dry that we had to soak our sows to make them hold slop."

HEAO GEARS HIGHER
NEW STYLE OF WOMEN'S HATS WILL .MAKE IT NECESSARY TO GET ON A LENGTHY
STEP LADDER.
LARGE ICE CREAM CONE
Will Be the Prevailing Shape, and "Bishop Purple" the Shade—All Feminine Headgear Must Have
Some Brim—Such is the Millinery Prediction.
High hats, higher hats, and then highest hats will be the rage in the incoming styles of milady's headpieces. And the height refers to the price as well as to the architecture. Women may even have to use stepladders to put on their own hats.
Such is the prediction of the wholesale millinery men at the preliminary fall "opening," held at Indianapolis. It is not the regular "fall opening," when the town is flooded with milliners tall and milliners small, milliners young, and charming and milliners who have grown old in the business, but it is a "before the opening" opening, held chifly for the Indianapolis dealers and hurried on by the great demand that has come for felt hats.
Hats may be white or black, or any old color, but they must be tall. The edict of style has gone forth and all who would claim to be followers must remember the decree.
From eighteen to twenty-four inches will be about the proper height. The hat proper will resemble an enlarged ice cream cone topped off with flowing feathers. There will also be much trimming. Beautiful shades of brocaded ribbons will add to the color and the style of the latest creations. The most prevalent shade will be the "bishop purple." It is a rich color and is said to be .in favor because of its use during the recent coronation in England.
One good feature of the tall hats, howevef, as viewed from the feminine point of view, is the fact that these chapeaus also have some brim. Of course, on the high sugar loaf effects the brim is not very wide, but there is a brim and usually it rolls back off the face. The little close-fitting caps worn last year were very fetching, indeed, on a pretty young face with wisps of curls about the brows, but what a fright on the more matured matron with not a hair showing to break the harsh line of the hat!
Swain Family Reunion. The Swain family held their annual reunion at the Rushville fair ground Monday. There were about 350 people present. Among the Hancock county people who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Swain, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Tucker, James A. Swain and Earl Swain.
The program was made up of many kinds of amusements, including a lean man's race, a fat man's race, a lean woman's race and fat woman's race. The last race was especially amusing, as the women who participated weighed more than 200 pounds.
Foley's Kidney Remedy (Liquid) Is a great medicine of proven value for both acute and chronic kidney ailments. It is especially recommended to elderly people for its wonderful tonic and reconstructive qualities, and the permanent relief and comfort it gives them. M. C. Quigley.

TODAY'S StOCK. MARKET
TEN THOUSAND HOGS AND PRICES FALL 25 CENTS.
Receipts, 10,000 hogs, 1,400 cattle, 1700 calves and 000 sheep, against 16,095 hogs, 1,137 cattle, 921 calves and 1.289 sheep a week ago and 7,601 hogs, 1,567 cattle,. 764 calves and 1.314 sheep a year ago.
With a realization that they had been paying unusually high prices compared with other markets, hog buyers took advantage of the big increase in the receipts and forced a decline in the prices of 25 cents. Such a change is rare in this market. The selling side was handicapped by a limited outside demand and also by a sharp decline in the prices elsewhere. The top was the lowest since the closing day of July and general sales were 40c lower than Monday. The range in prices was from $7.25 to $7.55, and most of the hogs sold for $7.35 to $7.50.
While not unusually large, there was a fair midweek run of cattle and calves and a pretty fair representation of the different grades in the various departments. Some of the best steers that have been here this season sold at $7.90, which is the high price paid in this market so far this year. They were shipped by Mays & Stewart, of Mays, Ind., and were fed by John Mays, of that firm. There was a fair country demand for feeding cattle at steady prices and bulls and calves were steady.
The marketing of sheep and lambs was about equal to the normal requirements of trade, and there was no change in the situation. Lamb prices were not more than 25c lower than at the beginning of the week. The top was $5.50 and culls sold as low as $3.00. There were few sheep in the offerings and they sold for $1.00 to $3.25.
GREENFIELD MARKET. These prices are corrected daily from quotations by the H. B. Bolt meat market, E. P. Thayer meat market, New Milling Company, Barrett Grain & EleVator Company, and the local ^grocers.
