OLD SCRIBE VISITS FAMILIAR SCENES

Describes Pleasant Outing at Freeport— Fails to Mention the Fish They Caught.

When congenial spirits get together, they can enjoy themselves at home or abroad. They can give but pleasure and be pleased, and in either case there is joy in existence. The man who takes pains to help his neighbor extract some comfort from "life's pitiful fever," is a benefactor. He is invariably one of those who is on hand, when he can contribute to the enjoyment of his fellowman, in charity, benevolence, or any great work of making others happy, which also gives the very highest mede of enjoyment to the contributor, when tempered as shown. This principle demonstrates that many an act of kindness flows from a good heart that looks beyond the skies for approval and reward. "Nay, thank me not! the kind one said, 'Tis to myself I've given! Each friendly deed like this, I make a steppingstone to Heaven!" It was thus that Brother Decker, wife and little son, Paul, the writer and his most important half, were helped by Will Gordon and wife and Henry Fry and wife to enjoy a most glorious day down at old Freeport, where hearts once pregnant with celestial fire, beat in unison with the undisturbed voice of nature's God a hundred years ago, interrupted only by the hum of the«..old water mill, and the roar of the water over the 'darn. This is* not intended for a fish story, Mr. Editor, nor am I going to dilate on my own skill in the piscatorial art, and as the others have asked me to leave out everything pertaining to catching fish, I will do so, and not even describe the large trunkful of bright, shiny tackle which the preacher totes, even to a picnic, and with which he has not landed over a (hundred) pound of fish this year—but to the few points I wish to make. After a delightful spin of perhaps ten minutes, simply reckoning the annihilation of time which occurs for me on a trip like that—we passed historic "Hogsback," and in a second more we were in the oldest hamlet in the state.

Simply hinting to A. G. Mellis, the jolly old ex-miller, now taking it easy, that we were from "Up and down old Brandywine," he and his good wife invited us to take easy possession, which we proceeded to do. Away back yonder, when I was known as "Rambler," I visited the Mellis-Patton Mills, and secured a liberal patronage, plenty of good cheer, touched with folk lore, appearing in "Rambler's Rounds" at the time. Mr. Mellis has been a resident of Freeport forty-six year, at which time he and his wife began the journey of life together,

.and have lived and loved "at the f1* ^°PH' °n

sam« homfl all thnsp war. Th„!l«K Andrew W. Crider, presisame home all those years. They now have a good competence, drive their big auto and enjoy life. Bordering onto 70, they are hale, hearty and contented a little lonely, perhaps, but living in the past, on the precious memory of the loved and lost. Five children, all that ever blest their home, have entered the sacred precincts to which the Master referred when He said: "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Every member of our party thanked these n----kindly old people for their hospitality. We lunched on the lawn to tA the phonographic tune the "Old

Band" played, and to "Uncle Josh's Hum$r," drank at the overflowing

weil that has been

bubbling up for

|g twenty-two years, on the premises

JP

we fried fish on the stove, and came away delighted with the pleasant 'day spent together, and with the

God-speed of Mr. and Mrs. Mellis. Quite a grfeat deal of skill, has been required to place the immense cement and stone* dam across Blue

river at Freeport, and it is a handsome piece of work. The cement is in the form of steps, and causes the water to rise 12 or 15 feet above the bed of the river. Great power is thus procured, which has turned the wheels of the Freeport Lumber and Flour Mills for a hundred years. We have not progressed very far from the power of our grandfathers' days, as water power now, as then, is the cheapest and one of the most powerful forces on earth, for running stationary machinery. Cite Niagara Falls which plunged madly for hundreds of years, which now is bidable and *has become a monstrous servantof man. The mighty cement wall near Bedford, Ind., that causes a brief pause in the career of White river, so that harness may be attached, is a wonderful feat of engineering, supplying power that drives machinery of all kinds and lessens labor generally. Companies are being formed in the West for the purpose of taking hold of the rivers and commanding them to work for man. So, as I said, for a hundred years the old mill has ground the grist, and the old wooden dam furnished the power as the cement one is doing today.

We were informed that the little village of Freeport has actually been on the map 100 years, and that the finger of time has written the epitaph for several generations since that hamlet first appeared. A century, Mr. Mellis told us, since the first low cabin appeared to mtirk the spot where civilization began there and savagery to recede. So the "dam is there by the mill site, and the mill is there by the dam," making music ail the day adding to the din produced by the rushing waters.

On our return we observed the preacher and his good wife holding hands, which of course is nothing strange for the average man and wife in Greenfield, but we were informed that they were living over the hot day, just eight years before, when they swelteringly pledged their troth to trot in double harness^ So we had been unconsciously helping to celebrate a wedding anniversary also.

A Diving Dog.

Jacob Loy is the owner of a diving dog. The dog enjoys no kind of amusement more than running after things thrown by his master, or other persons. He even jumps willingly into streams and dives after rocks which are thrown into them. When he can wade the water he will stand on his hind legs and use his fore feet like hands in locating the particular rock which has been thrown into the stream. When he locates it, he promptly dives down, takes the rock in his mouth and brings it to the shore. He seems to greatly enjoy the feat.

SWEEPING GAME LAWS SOON TO BE EFFECTIVE

Stringent Measure That Will Protect Wild Birds Goes Into Effect October 1st

One of the most sweeping and far-reaching game laws ever enacted by the United States Congress will go into effect October 1st when the Weeks-McLean migratory bird law will be enforced. The law fixes the season for shooting migratory birds and also divides the country into two sections in order that the birds may be protected to the fullest extent. Twenty-five states, including Indiana, are in the northern zone, while the southern division will be composed of the remaining states. The shooting season for the two zones varies according to the classification of the four, classes of migratory birds.

Spring shooting is absolutely forbidden, as is the shooting of migratory birds between sunrise and sunset. In most cases three months of open shooting for water fowls are allowed. In no case will there be less than thirty days when birds may be shot during the period of their greatest abundance.

When Birds May Be Shot Northern Zone—Waterfowl, Sept. 1 to Dec. 15 rail, Sept. 1 to Dec. 1 woodcock, Oct. 1 to Dec. 1 shore birds, Sept. 1 to Dec. 15.

Southern Zone —Waterfowl, Oct. 1 to Jan. 15 rail, Sept. 1 to Dec. 1 woodcock, Nov. 1 to Jan. I shore birds, Sept. 1 to Dec. 15.

No shooting whatever is allowed of cranes, doves or pigeons. Robins, larks and similar shore birds are protected at all times. Hunting on the great rivers of "the country, Missouri, Ohio and Mississippi, prohibited during November and December.

LOOSE GRAVEL IKES AUTO TURN TURTLE

Wm. Arnett Upsets Machine On Noblesville Road When Wheel Sticks—Coming for Medicine

Scarcely a day passes but what the story of how some serious accident is narrowly escaped is reported.

Tuesday morning, William Arnett of near Mohawk, was coming to this city for medicine and medical help for Walter Snyder, who "faas seriously injured about a week ago, and when on the Noblesville road near Dr. Larimore's farm he struck some fresh gravel which had been used enough to have a rut worn in it where the horses trot, but not enough to be packed down hard. His wheel went into this rut, and he as quickly tried to get out, but the force of return was great enough to upset the machine.

Merle Amos, who works for Mr. Snyder, and who was with Mr. Arnett in the machine, was thrown clear of it. Mr. Arnett was painfully injured on his right arm, when he was caught by the overturning car. A deep cut which bled profusely resulted. Amos cleared him as quickly as possible, then called the Monger garage. Harvey Barrett drove out at once to help Arnett in, when he was taken to Dr. Heller's office, and the wound dressed. The car was a Ford, and consequently not so very badly damaged by the accident.

Mr. Arnett says he had been going rather fast, but, that he always slows down for fresh gravel, and he knew he was,traveling at only about 15 miles per hour. He had been hurrying to get some medicine for Walter Snyder, who was bleeding profusely.

Snyder.' it will be remembered, was seriously injured last Monday a week ago while building a frame for a straw shed. The posts had been set, plates strung and part of the cross sticks put on when Snyder, while standing on a wagon, endeavored to move a ridge pole by himself. It slipped and fell, striking him on top of the head, mashing it horribly. This morning the wound started bleeding again, and it was necessary to call for assistance from here. Dr. O. A. Collins, of Mohawk, attended the injured man.
