ABOUT THE TWINE TRUST.

OTHER FARM 1NTERE$T3 DISCUSSED. rtlllzlns the Weed Keeping Clean the Cornfield Late Potato Crop Farm Xotes For the Month and Some Valuable Household Biota. The republican farmer of the West and Northwest who last fall thought that 'trusts are private aifairs," and voted with enthusiasm to double the tax on the raw material and to increase the dut j on Sisal twine, are now up in arma against the twine trust, and have perfected state organizations in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota. Nebraska and other states to fight it. Thor battle is already lost. Their surrender must be unconditional, saya the New York WorhL Foreseeing this advance in price, the Mills bill put iflal grass on the free list and reduced the tariff on Sisal twine to 23 per rent. If it had become a law the trust would have been possible, but it would have been a 23 per cent, trust instead of the present 35 per cent trust; and with free raw material there would have been no excuse for It The price of twine could not have been put at more than 25 per cent, beyond the cost to import the foreign. During the past three years there has been an actual decline in the amount of Sisal grass imported from Yucatan, in the Lice of a larirety increasing demand for twine. The price abroad of the raw material advanced from ?io per ton in lr to 147 in 1SS3, and all stock on hand has been used up. The advance in price is general all over the world, and is caused by the scarcity of raw material. Why are the cordape companies ''protected' by a duty of o5 per cent, on foreign twine if it is not levied solely to enable them to form a trust and charge the republican farmer 35 per cent, more than the foreign twine would cost to import? Thej are only doinp now what they have always done and what these republican farmers have always approved of. Why did the?e republican farmer vote in favor of trusts and a 40 per cent, senate bill duty on twine, if they did not dewre to pay :V and 40 per cent, nioro than it was worth? The advance abroad has only been met by a corresponding advance here. The trut lias not exceeded the :)y per cent, "pouge," in which it is protected by law. The farmers of the Northwest can not afford to licht the twine trust. To harvest by hand this reason will be to harvest at a loss and to ruin many a mall farmer. It will not a Sect the trust. All the boycottingpossible will not reduce the price of twine. The farmers delivered themeelves last Novemtar into the hands of the truf-t, bound Jiand and foot, and favor now the still further addition to the price of twine which the senate tariff bill will make next December. Their objection to the present increase, after voting for it, is illogical and absurd. They rejected the relief offered by the democrats in the last rongress. and can hardly expect sympathy if wrat they asked for and received is not what they wanted. But it is not on Sit-al twine alone they will be robbed without mercy by a trust. It is the twine trust to-il.iv, but to-morrow it will be the salt trust, the next day the lumber trust, the sugar trust, and "ho on through the w hole list of tmsU made possible only by protection, which the democratic party vainly asked them to destroy. The Late fotato Crop. Among the innovations made and demenstrateu as a success is the trench system of the Rural AVr Yorker, which is one worthy of trial, as the season for the late potato crop will soon bo here. It is very pimple, and the farmer can try a few rows by way of experiment, side by 6ide with other 'rows grown in the ordinary way. Make a trench twelve inches deep and eighteen inches wide. Use the special potato fertilizer, if necessary. Cut the potatoes t- two eyes, and use no seed ; put a email quantity of the fertilizer on the bottom, cover it with a sprinkling of earth, lay dow n the seed the uual distance and cover with an inch of foil. After the seed begins to crow scatter the fertilizer in the trench, on the sides of the plants and between them, and add more soil, eo continuing until the vines grow to the top of the trench, when the surface is given level cultivation. It is claimed that the vines make new roots on their way to the surface, and have more room than the development of tubers ; that as the fertilizer is placed in the trench and near the roots the plants are more promptly fed and appropriate it sooner, while the deep rooting alfo protects against drought and injures moisture. rtllizlng the TT,e-rt. Many weeds can be utilized with adTantaare. Purslaine is highly relished bv pig?, ana tne game is true ot plantain. K&z weed and pig weed will also be eaten. If the hogs are made to consume thene plants the labor of eradicating them will cost but little, as they can be converted into pork. Thre is no plant that grows more highly relished by the hog than pig weed. Young crab gras is aUo accepted. Keep the Cornfields Clean. Do not attempt to grow melons or pumpkins in the cornfield if you expect to keep the corn clean and all the weeds down. It is a practice to grow pumpkins in the cornfield, but during the fatter part oi the Feasf n the corn is n. fleeted in order not to disturb the pumpkin vines, which also allows weeds to grow on eome places to propagate seed for another beason. Farm "otes. Look over the trunks of peach treet for the bor? r. They are at work now. Air-slacked lime, dusted freely on the chicken yards, u one of the best preventives of gspes in young chicks. Search carefully for the cutworm where you tee a plant cut down, and kill him or he will cut down another one. Cow peas may be erown between the Lills of corn, m the same cultivation for the one crop is suitable for the other. It is not out of place to again call attention to the fact that every weed that is allowed to co to ae d now or during the reason may cause homireds of other to come up next season. The bst and cheapest food for pies that are confined in pens, at this ea.on, is a liberal uptly of young weeds or clover. They can be kept in good growing condition with little or no grain. Pour all your soapsuds on your celery plant. It is a special fertilizer lor celery, and will make the young plants grjw fa-uer than anything else that can be applied. It is aljo excellent for asparagus. Jlake the bills for your lima beans very rich. Tine compost is the bett material, but manure is also excellent. The point is to use plenty of it as the pods wilKfill out very slowly if there is a deficiency of available plant food in the toil. When the second crop of clover is cut place it aside for the nse of the pijrs and poultry next winter. It is chopped line, scalded, sprinkled with ground grain and fed liberally. It will nave food, od both pigs and poultry will thrive on it. Beet, carrots and parsnip must be well cultivated at this time, as tne warm days will hasten the growth of grass and weeds to such n extent as to crowd out the young plants if the gronnd is not clean. They should be cultivated after each rain. The hens should be kept at but very small cot in summer. Instead of feeding grain give the hens chopped grass. Cat it op fine, give them s trough full, end they will need nothing else if tbey are in good condition. Clover is excellent, and the bees will eat quite a large Children Cry for

quantity in a day. The finely chopped grass is also an elegant food for young chicks. Give the early sweet corn a thorough hoeing as soon as it is high enough. The first working is the most important, as it loosens the soil, keeps the weeds back and gives the plants an opportunity to push ahead before the next crop of weeda can interfere with them. , Melons will grow rapidly now, and ashes are excellent for them. Scatter the ashes on the surface of the ground, not too close to the hills, and thin out the plants so as to leave only two on the hilh Do not grow melons or pumpkins near each other, as they will hybridize. Sour swill is not as suitable for swine as is good fresh buttermilk or whey. Many ailments of swine are due to feeding the hogs continually of swill that is under a hieh degree of fermentation, much of it being entirely unfit for any purpose but to be thrown on the manure heap. To destroy the striped cucumber bugs a reader writes: 'Take half a peck of plaster, one ant a half taMespoonftful of cayenne pepper, and mix the substances well. .Sprinkle a t-mall quantity on each hill and the plant. I have used this remedy for years, and never lo-e a vine from the bugs." Millet and Hungarian grass seed can be put in now. If preferred the seed may be drilled in, but it is usual to broadcast the seed in order to have the plants come up as close together as possible in order to crowd out the weeds. They will be kept down by the trass crops, and the soil be in better condition tor corn next season. A subscriber wishes to know how to destroy ants in the garden. It is very difficult to destroy them or drive them away, as the substances that are disagreeable to the ants often injure the plants; but one of the best remedies is to fill their holes with strong soapsuds to which a small quantity of kerosene has been added. Any plant is a weed that is not desired. Two plants of the same kind should never occuuy the space that should be allowed to one only, as it is their nature to strugtle for the same kind of food and for supremacy. If the plants are too thick some of them should be removed as weeds. The soil should not support more than it can feed properly. Household Hints. Cheap Cake One and one-half cupfuls of sugar, butter size of a walnut, one cup cf sweet milk, one egg, two cupfuls of four, two tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Lemon Jelly Cake One and one-half cupfuls oi sugar, half cupful of butter beat to a cream, three eggs well beaten, half cupful of milk, two and a half cupfuls of Hour and two tcaspoonfuls of baking powder. Hake in layers. Potato Gems Three or four cupfuls of mashed potatoes, one cupful of milk, in which dissolve half a teaspoonful of butter mid the same of salt; stir well with two beaten eggs; then drop in well-buttered gem pans, with a little flour sprinkled over the top, nnd put in a hot oven till nicely browned. Coffee Cakes One cupful of butter, two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of strong coli'ee. three eggs, half cupful of molasses, one cupful of water, one cupful each of raisius and currants, one teaspoontul of cloves, two teaspooufuls of cinnamon, one of allspice, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and Hour to make a stiff batter. Hake two hours. Waste Scraps and Crumbs With a little care on the part ol the cook or housekeeper every scrap oi stale bread can be made available. All the crusts and small pieces should be placed in a pan and dried slowly in a warm oven. When they art perfectly dry put them into a small bag made of ticking or canvas, and pound them fine with a wooden mallet. Sift them and put them in glas jars. They will keep for mouths, and can be used for breading meat, fish, croquettes, etc. Keeping Away the Moths Doing the furs or clothes tightly in newspaper, leaving not a crevice open, is often all that is needed as a preventive of moths, as these pests detest printers' ink; but where garments are placed away for a long time the cedar chips are the most to be commended. Camphor is good when a sufficient uantity is used, but generally the quantity is not large enough. Hock camphor is the best for this purpose, and one large piece as big as a goose egg will do more good than a dozen small pieces. Putting Away Garments As the warm weather approaches the putting away of garments worn during the cold weather comes in for its share of consideration. Furs and heavy outside wraps can be placed away in a short time now, but the flannels ouarht to be worn until the weather is surely settled ere changing for lighter ones. It is a mistake to wear fur garments of any kind on warm spring days, for more barm is done to tliera in one day of this kind than in a month's wear of cold weather. They should be placed away as soon as thrown oil for lighter wraps, and not let remain in closets, taking up the space wanted for other clothes. Scotch Barley Broth Throw three-quarters of a pound of Scotch barley into some clean water; when thoroughly cleansed, place it with a knuckle of veal in a stewpan, cover it with cold water, let it slowly reach a boil, keep it skimmed, add seven onions, nnd simmer for two hours; skim again, and add two heads of celery and two turnips cut in slices, or any shape it pleases the cook; add as much salt as required to make it palatable, and let it stew for an hour and a half it must be well skimmed before the broth is dished; the meat must be previously removed and the broth alone sent to table. If it is intended to send the veal to the table with it dress it as follows: Take two pints of the broth aud put it into a stewpan over a clear fire, add two tahlespoonfulsof Hour to the broth, and keep the broth stirring as you shake it in until it boils; then add a little caye?iae pepper, two tablespoonfuls of port, boil for two minutes, strain it over the veal nnd send to table.

I've drained pleasure's cup of delight ; I've queened it at banquet and ball; I've starred it through many a night And won triumph' crown, from them ail, A lonnetteci knight in the field I measured my steel with the best ; Forcing the fiercest to yield. And humbling the haughtiest crest. My laurels are bright with the dew Of praises oft spoken nod suni?. Yet the baby-lore, uttered by you Is more precocious than eloquent tongue Kver breathed when fame was the goal. To whither I daringly steered With pa-ssion-wrun.,', tempest-tossed soul, While the uiu.titude clamored or cheered. What lovers aye. le?ion ray pet, Such flowers and poems and books. In fancy I list to them yet; Heart tragedies molting in looki, When twilight, with star-sandaled feet, Stopped softly o'er mountain and als, In some roe-wreathed sylrao retreat. Afar from society's pale. With none but the zephyrs to spy When the fairy folk slept in the dell, My love would reveal with a sijrh The secrets he trembled to tell. Oh, the glamour und lory and glow, The music aud mirth ot the hours, To poesy's miraeous flow, Illuming lore's thought jewebsd bower. The kisses on lip, cheek and brow, Far sweeter titan roe in June Thrill me in memory now With passion's wild mystical tune. But what is that fflorious past, Or the lores that were lavish as rain-" Of them all you're the dearest and last Queen of that h-cart-jewelcd train. Oh! Peachy, my dainty wild blossom, My pearl, fair, starry-eyed belle, Thrilling with rapture my bosom, Who of your future can tell? F-ut, hash! there's a lion within me, A marvel of power and pride. Brighter treasures to deck you I'll win me Than ever were ever wrung from the tide, For now it I mother-love caring The turmoil and tempest of life. With yon all her victories sharing. To shield you from danger and strife. Chicago, III. Alk a May Qvisw. Who Lynched John Davidson? KCKTRTY, May 2. Special.

THE SERVICE PENSIONS.

DEMANDS OF THE NEW ASSOCIATION. The Arrearage Rill Which It Will Present to the Next Congress Some of the Arguments in Its Favor Plan of tbo Hooiiiera. Bounteously as haa the U. S. government provided for the disabled Union soldiers of the late war, and for the widows and orphans of those who lost their lives in the great struggle, it appears that the army of pension claimants is never to prow less. As remonstrances against their demands have increased, their conduct has grown more defiant. As the opposition to them became more marked, they have solidified their ranks until at last the idea of forming into an organization for the especial purpose of demanding an unrestricted ingress into the U. 8. treasury was adopted and the organization was known as the Service Tension association. It would be unjust to suppose that all the Union eoldiers, or even a considerable proportion of them, belongs to this association, but the fact remains that they are already powerful in numbers and influence, and increasing, apparently, in both. As indicated bv the name they have adopted, they are out for pensions for all the soldiers who wore the blue whether they now le eick or strong, poor or wealthy. The minimum amount they demand is $S per month for every man who went to the front, whether he served a day or a vear. They claim that an oiler of any thing less than that amount is an insult to any soldier, notwithstanding there are manv thousands of them in the coun try to-day who have been quite willing to accept such an insult. For those who have served longer periods, or who have suffered disabilities, the demand is of course much larger. j The ervice t ension association lias been working hard in behalf of this idea for some years. After a great deal of hard work it succeeded in getting the last national encampment of the G. A. K. to declare in favor of a pension service bill, and it is now preparing for a national pension ser vice convention during tne next national encampment at Milwaukee. Its idea is to get the soldiers united in behelf of the measure it is advocating, because many members of congress who have been asked to work in its behalf have replied that when the soldiers united on a pension bill it would be passed. The Indiana branch of the Service Ten sion association which is one of the most active in the country and which claims to have been chiefly instrumental in getting the national G. A. II. to recommend the adoption of a pension service bill by congress, has drawn up a bill which it proposes to Dresent to the national association as the proper thing for congress to pass. It prrrvides that the secretary of the interior be authorized to place on the pension roll the names of all the surviving ollicers, soldiers, sailors and marines who served in the army or navy of the United States for a period of sixty days or more, or who were disabled in the " line of duty between March, 1S1, and July, 1S5, upon application therefor, and who are honorably discharged, each of whom shall receive a pension of .S per month during his life. All officers, soldiers and Bailors now on the pension rolls at a rating less than S per month shall be advanced to that amount. In all cases where the period of service was in excess of 800 days the pension granted shall be at the rate of 1 cent per day for each day's service. For persons who are now or may hereafter become disabled from performing labor necessary to procure subsistence, from any cause not the result of vicious or immoral habits.it is provided that they shall rective additional disability pensions, as follows: "For a disability rated at one-half the total rate the pension shall be increased 7 per month. For a disability rated at three-fourths the total rate, the pension shall be increased ?12 per month, and for a disability totally incapacitating now, or hereafter any of the persons named in sec. 1 of this act, from obtaining a support by their labor, or usual occupations, the pension shall be increased f-0 per month, payable for and during the natural live of persons entitled thereto. But this art shall not be so construed as to change the ratings of pensioners now on the rolls, or that may hereafter be placed on the rolls at higher rates for loss of limbs or eyebight, the result of injuries received in the service." If any honorably discharged officer or enlisted man of the military or naval service has died, or shall die and leave a widow, such widow shall be placed upon the roll, upon application, at TJ per month, payable during hr life or widowhood; and the minor children of all such persons deceased shall receive pensions at the rate of ?ö per month for each minor child up to the age of seventeen years. A deformed or crippled child, or one of unsound mind, shall receive a pension of 12 per month so long as so atllicted. Furthermore, any soldier who has died, or mav die, leaving no widow or minor child, but who may leave or has left a dependent parent, either mother or father, shall be placed upon the pension roll at the rate of 12 per month, to begin from and after the passage of this act, first to the mother, and if no mother, then to the father of such soldier, to continue during such dependency. The most important clause of the bill. however, is the following: All persons who have not prior to the passaee and taking effect of this act received arrears of pensions, shall be paid arrearage at the rate of S3 per month, from date of discharge, or occurrence of the disability for which pension is claimed. This clause, as will be readilv 6een, is neither more nor less than the opening of the arrearages act, with an immense ad dition. In a circular the Indiana service pen sion association gives its reasons for ad vocating the bill, 6aying it is "a plea for justice not alms or charitv." The circu lar further says : "We believe the time has come when both justice and equity demand a settle ment of the pension question on the basis and principles suggested in the accom panying bill. Wo believe that every man who went to the front during the war earned a pension, and that the least this great, rich, prosperous. rescued nation can, in decency, oner him, is a minimum ser vice pension of ?8 per month, with a pro portionate increase lor long service or dis ability, as suggested by the accompanying bill. The average age of the survivors of the lato war h now fifty vears, and tho remarkable statement is made by the com missioner oi pensions, lion. John cj. Black, in his ollicial report dated June 30, 1888, that the average death age of the oldest soldiers of the late war pensioners is fifty-six years. e request tho passage oi this bill, because it is lust and enuita ble. Strict justice would require that the man in the ranks, whose pay was trivial, whoso danger was constant, whose individual fame was unrecognized, should receive the most; but rank was necessary and discrimination as to merit impossible, therefore we advocate a uniform rate for all. officers, soldiers, sailors and marines alike.

A ST. JOE RIVER MYSTERY.

What a YoDit Lady Sav Who Saw Re cently ar Fort TTayne. Fort Wsyne Gazette. The disappearance of a young man named Harry Sellers, who resided at South Broadway, will be remembered by several of the people of this city. One Sunday nizht about twelve months ago he left his parents, telling them he was going for a stroll, and never returned. Hours passed into days, days into weeks, weeks into months, and yet no trace of the missing youth can be obtained, and only three weeks ago the missing man's aged father, broken down by the weight of mingled anxiety and woe, was conveyed to his last resting place at Lindcnwood, followed to his grave by a large number of sorrowing friends. Sellers, jr., was a handsome youn fel low, with dark curling hair nnd eyes black as sloes, besides lie was adept in every manlv snort, and withal a merry and obliging fellow. Little wonder then that he was popular among his companions and liked by everyone, especially the young ladies of his acquaintance. .e efore stated, no possible clew could be obtained as to his whereabouts, or as to the reasons of his disappearance, and in conversation the chief of police said that though every possible effort had been made to find him and two or three of the keenest detectives in the United States had been employed at great expense they had been unsuccessful in their searcn. However, one of the detectives had in formed the chief that on inquiry of the boatman at the French brewery he had been told that a young man answering to the description of the missing youth had lured a boat tnat Minaay evening wun the expressed intention to row up to the island and back. This was no solution of the mvsterv. for tho boatman said that the same voung man returned with the . ... . boat alter an absence oi about an nour, paid for his hire, and wishing him good night, went off in the direction of the city, ironi that time to the present moment nothing has been seen or heard of him in the llesh At the time of lm disappearance the young man was paying his addresses to a Miss Morgan, who resides at 87 l?reckenridge-st. For a long time this young lady mourned in seclusion his uncertain fate, but as the months rolled on she thought less and less of the absent youth, and up till lately went out as usual and enjoyed herself with several young ladies of her acquaintance. Miss Morgan, accompanied by two other -oung ladies, well Acquainted locally, and an equally well-known young man, went on a trip up the St. Joe rivor Sunday evening last. Laughing and joking, singing snatches of merry songs to the dipping of the oars, the party were thoroughly enjoying themselves, when all at once one of the young ladies put this question to the others: "I wonder what became of Harry Sellers ? It is about a year ago to-night since he disappeared." Miss Morgan did not answer, but sat still as a statue, and the rower ceased pulling at his oars. The moon was dipping ever' row and again behind a bank of clouds, anon shrouding the scenery with her silvery sheen, and again all was shadow and gloom. Within twenty yards of the boat wherein they sat was the island. The face of Miss Morgan suddenly became fixed and set, an ashy palor spread over her features, and a loök of awful fear was in her eyes. Suddenly with a shriek she started up. "Harry, Harry, there, there, see him ; it is Harry Sellers." And it was with great difficulty that the only male occupant of the boat could prevent the thoroughly terrified girl from jumping out of the boat in the direction in which she pointed with extended finger. She stood for a moment struggling to free herself from the restraining grasp of her friend, and then with a sigh of relief saying "He's gone, he's gone," sank down in a faint to the bottom of the boat. Another of the young ladies was so frightened at the unexpected occurrence that she too, fainted, aud it only by dint of the male occupant's calming words to the third that she was prevented from going into hysterics. The boat was quickly turned about and headed for the brewery, and never in his life did the young man, as he said, "row so hard as I did upon that return trip." The cooling breeze of tho river soon brought the one young lady round and she nervously laughed when told that she had been frightened over nothing into a faint. Miss Morgan, however, had to be carried by the boatman to the street car. She appeared to be in a kind of stupor, and every now and again she would sigh forth the name of Harry. On reaching her home on Breckenridgest., she was at once put to bed nnd a physician summoned, who stated the patient was undoubtedly suffering from a severe shock to the nervous system. Ho recommended rest, and left a soothing potion which was to be given to tho lady every two hours. Yesterday, upon inquiry at the residence, a reporter learned that she liad somewhat recovered, nnd was willing to speak upon what she had seen. Miss Morgan is a brunette, of light physique, and as she spoke of tho afiair tears welled up to her eyes, and sobs choked her utterance. "It was about 0:30 o'clock," 6he said, "when we reached the island. I was looking at a clump of bushes at the end nearest the brewery when all at once I saw the figure of a young man standing near the edge with his hands raised above his head as if just going to dive into the water. At first I believed that it really was a young man, and was about to turn away when the moon, shining out from behind the clouds 6howed distinctly the face of the figure. "It was the face of Harry Sellers, the young man who disappeared about a year ago. Still I thought I might have been mistaken, and looked again. I saw the figure jump into the water, but there was no splash or noise, and as it sank into the water it raised one hand and beckoned me." "No," Miss Morgan replied in answer to a question, "I do not believe in ghosts, but I am sure that what I saw was the form of Harry Sellers." The reporter inquired of the other parties who were in the boat at the same time if they, too, had heard or seen anything of the apparition, but all, including the young lady who fainted at the same time aa Miss Morgan, said that they had not. The mystery of the young man's sudden disappearance does not seem in a fair way of oeing cleared up. It is thought that he retraced his steps on leaving the boatman and went up tne road in the direction of the island with the intention of taking a swim. Tho probability is that seized with cramps he was drowned and his skeleton bleached by the waters of the St. Joe lie near the island. A Mysterious Disappearance Explained. Dana, May 23. Special.. O. F. Sleeth, a prominent school teacher of this county, has been mysteriously missing for over a week. It now transpires that he had been too free with the use of his pen. He had forged a note on Bufus Little for $35, and first presented it to Ilhoads & Andrews in payment for a suit of clothes. The actions of Sleeth and the wording of the note aroused their suspicion and they refused to take it. Leaving the clothing in the store he went to Newport and tried to cash the note at Nixon's bank, but failed. He returned here and took the clothine, paying the cash. He seemed to be flash with money, so he must have found some one to whom he old the note, but who is the victim is not

known at this writing. During Sleeth's absence at Newport Mr. Little came to town and pronounced the note a forgery. Sleeth also tried to cash another note at the bank here for 1115 on Ham Detson, but was refused. Sleeth has heretofore born a good character, was an excellent teacher and a general favorite. In No Danger. X. Y. Weekly.J Mrs. Minks (severely) "George, there is an account in the paper about a business man leaving his wife ana running off with s pretty type-writer girl." Mr. .Minks-'Tndeed." "Yes, and it's the third account of the kind I've seen this week." 'That doesn't interest me." "It does me. You have a pretty type-writer girl in your office." "No, we haven't My partner eloped with her last week."

A Deep, Dark Problem. Time. She "It must be awfully nice, Jack, to be a great editor and to be able to sway men's minds with the stroke of a pen." He "Ah, but you don't know the discouragements of the profession, Flo. I've been trying to sway the business manager's mind on a financial point for some weeks, bat without suoeess." She "I dare eay it is some deep, dark problem that he fails to grasp." He "Yes; I want a raise of $2 a week." Not Flaying;. Merchant Traveler. T guess I have played nearly every game that there ever was," remarked a whiiewhiskered man with a straw hat on, to a traveling man on the cars. "Ever play Hunco?" asked the traveler, in a spirit of mild jest. "Well," returned his new acquaintance, thoughtfully, "I wouldn't hardly gay that I played that pame. I went at it in such docgoned earnebt that it wasn't what you would call playin'." Lonely. Merchant Traveler. "Where have you bpn keeping yourself, Mr. De Jay?" asked Mrs. Helle Pepperton of that young gentleman. "You haven't been going into society?" "Not pwecisely; that is, you know, I have been devoting my own time to myself. Indulging in my own society as it were. Pwetty clevah, don't yon think?" "Yes; but how lonely you must have been?" A Vain Winh. Merchant Traveler. "Do you know," said a new arrival in the state of Kansas, "I wish Noah were alive?" "Why?" "Because I think he might have enjoyed himself in this state." "For what reason?" "He got so well acquainted with water during the Hood." A tainl doth. N. Y. Weekly.

Take Up Your Bed and Walk A Remark, able Case. Of all the wonderful cures credited to the skill of Dr. J. S. Jordan, perhaps the greatest and most wonderful is that of Miss Ella Buchanan of lielleville, Ind. For fourteen years sbe had been an invalid, and for ten years had not been able to have a shoe put on her foot; neither stand nor walk a step. Mr. Buchanan, the photographer of this city, a brother of the lady, says that her trouble was a species of tumor as weil as the paralysis, as he believed, though some physicians called it one thing and some another. Her whole lower extremities were rendered useless, and she was aa helpless as a baby. She spent a fortune in doctoring and medicine bills, but she obtained no relief until we were induced to call on Dr. Jordan of Indianapolis, Ind., No. II? a W. Washington-st. Under his treatment she began to improve at once, and in a few weeks was almost cured. Now she is a well woman, and has been nearly two years. Dr. Jordan is a physician of the highest skill, and a perfect gentleman. linrgnins in Watchea and Jewelry.
