WHEN THE YOUNGSTER CRAWLS INTO MY BED. There’s a half-smothered yawn from the cot where he lies, Supposed to be soundly asleep. His chubby brown fists rub the "sand" from his eyes, And the covers fly off in a heap. His little bare feet strike the floor with a whack; They racellike a young thoroughbred; They slide like two icicles over my back, As the youngster crawls into my bed. "Hey, popsie!” his cherry tones sing in my ear, While his hand gives my nose a sharp tweak. -“l've come on a visit, I say, do you hear? Why don't you turn over and speak?” With a counterfeit snore like a blast from a horn, I pretend that my eardrums are lead; But he laughs my most consummate acting to scorn, When this youngster crawls into my bed. "Now tell me a story; please, popsie,” pleads he, A gruff, growling protest I make I am too badly tongue-tied to A B C. And my brain's but a fraction awake. But growling and snarling don’t terrify him. "You’a a bear, are you? Just growl ahead And I'll be a billy-goat—br-mbum-bliml” And he butts me half out of the bed. He scoffs at my, pitiful bribe of a dime, He snuggles against my warm breast. And cocks up his ear for the "Once on a time” That ushers in all of the rest Of the Mother Goose tales and the storybook lore And the yarns I spin out of my head; And when I’m pumped dry, it is "Please tell me some more," When the youngster crawls into my bed. After stories galore, then a rolicking play With happiness fills his cup. "What fierce, hungry cub has crawled in here?" I say, "Oh. please, tiger, don’t eat me up!” Then he roars and he ramps, with an awful hubbub, His feet beat tattoo on my head. His knees my poor ribs like a washingboard rub. When the youngster crawls into my bed. But breathless at last, and so quiet he lies, That hia loud thumping heart I can hear. Until "One, two, three and the bumbletybee.” Our signal, sounds shrill in his ear. He's up. For the minute I’ve said, "Rooster crows,” The covers from us will have fled. And when I have finished, "Away, then, he goes 1” That youngster will crawl out of bed. So he grapples n e tight 'twixt his arms and his legs. And he holds me there, dogged and grim. “Only five minutes more, Pop!" he earnestly begs; But the shopbell won't tarry for him. But they make my heart light all the rest of the day. Those pictures that come in my head. Of the capers he cut in that rollicking play When the youngster eraw led into my bed. —Christian Endeavor World.

TO EXTEND KANKAKEE DITCH.

Starke County Democrat: The Kankakee Valley Reclamation association held a meeting at Laporte last Thursday and arranged to begin at once the work of securing the signatures of a majority of the owners of land affected to the petition to continue the dredging of the Kankakee river from where the Place ditch stops, in the northern part of section 24, Davis township, to the west line of Starke county. As soon as these signatures can be secured the petition will be presented to the commissioners of both Laporte and Starke counties, asking them to appoint three appraisers from each county, whose duties under the law are similar to those of drainage commission- . ers in circuit court ditches. The i association, we are informed, is I giving a bond to each property owner who signs the petition indemnifying him against costs of any kind incase the ditch is defeated. The result of the prelimii nary survey that has l>een made Iby Engineer Garner shows that the total length of the proposed ditch is 17 miles, and the estimatied cost *93,500. The amount of | land to be assessed is approximately 60,000 acres. Theie j figures, which of course are subject to revision and change by the appraisers, indicate that the average cost of the ditch would be only about $1.60 per acre to the land effected, which is certainly very low, and the time for paying it would extend for ten years, bonds for the cost of construction being issued by the two counties. Another thing the association I proposes doing is to make the meander land along the river pay its proportion of the cost of the ditch, even if it becomes necessary to madate the auditor of state to sell it, as provided by the last legislature. It will be a (food thing to get this meander and on the tax duplicates without regard to the ditch, and everybedy understands that the ditch as proposed would reclaim thousands of acres of land now absolutely worthless so far as producing anything is concerned.

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

Items of Interest Gathered In the Offices and Corridors of the County Capitol. The June term of commissioners’ court convenes Monday. —o — This is the last day for paying dog tax to avoid criminal prosecution. —o — Marriage licenses: May 28, Charles C. Winger to Gertrude M. Corah. May 28, Charles Kerreek to Fanny L. Cheek. —o — It is thought that Dr. Wilson, the Thayer bigamist, will be parolled when court takes up again in Newton county. A numerously signed petition for his release will be presented to the court by the people of Thayer, it is said. The fine and costs have all been settled and it is thought that favorable action will be taken by Judge Thompson in the matter of granting his release. “Tax-Ferret Workman says he is busy checking «p all the big cases heri this week, preparatoiy t> making settlement with the parties next week." The above item appeared in The Democrat of April 5, 1902, and was a straight “tip" from Mr. Workman himself. We believe no settlements have been made since that date, but the ferrets are still at if. The Democrat would suggest that Abe grant another renewal of their contract, so as to make it perpetual,—there may be some little fish that can be “caught’’ in the years to come. —o — Wm. J. Oram, a traveling dentist who formerly resided in Goodland, is now occupying quarters in the county jail, on account of having jumped a board bill of $8.60 at Hotel Neece, in Dunnville. The fine and costs assessed by Squire VanDoozer of Wheatfield, swelled the amount to $22.80, which “Doc” will lay out. Oram is an old soldier and draws a pension of sl2 per month. Several years ago he was engaged with Dr. Coppock at Goodland in the establishing of a republican paper at that place. Omar being the edition, but the paper was short lived, and after a precarious existence of six or eight months, gave up the ghost. Oram then resumed his occupation as traveling dentist, and has operated principally In Jasper, Pulaski and Starke counties. His family resides at Logansport, we believe, at present. Later, the amount was paid Thursday and Oram released. He thinks the officers piled up a rather stiff bill of costs in the case, much more than the statutes allow them. o New suits filed: No. 6331 Levi Hancock ex rel. vs William Kight et al; Transcript from Newton county. Reynolds & Sill, attys. No. 6332. Wm. B. Austin, administrator, vs Maria Brown et al; petition to sell real estate. W. B. Agustin, atty. No. 6333. John Makeevor vs Wm. P. Blankenbaker et al; appeal on road case from commissioners’ court. No. 6334 Mary M. Arnold vs Christian F. Arnold; action for divorce. Foltz, Spitler A Kurrie, attys. . This case comes from Barkley tp., the defendant being a sou of the late Andrew Arnold and one of the best known farmers of that township. The complaint avers that the parties were married in Wabash county, Ind., Dec. 6,1889, and came to Jasper county in 1901 and resided together until May 23, 1902, when plaintiff left defendant; that for the past five years the defendant has been an habitual drunkard, and for eight or nine years has treated plaintiff in a cruel and inhuman manner; that she has tried time and again to reform him but that he would fail to keep the promises made to reform; that through their joint efforts defendant is now the owner of considerable real estate and personal property, and that $1,300 which she received from her grandfather’s estate was given defendant and applied on real estate and personal property pur-, chased,' Plaintiff demands said $1,300 (less $215 with which «he purchased a horse and a piano), one-half of the net value of all the real estate and personal property, the total alimony amounting including the aforesaid $1,300, to $8,300, and an absolute divorce. The plaintiff further avers that she is 32 years of age and the defendant 39 years of age. They have no children. No. 6335- W. E. Sweney vs. Ella Fisher and Isiah Fisher; Mechanic’s lein, demand $125. Hanley & Hunt, attys. —o— Readers of The Democrat’s column of "court house pews” will remember in the list of suits filed

in April last, one by Hollingsworth <fc Hopkins vs Abraham Halleck and David D. Gleason, action on note given by the former on which Mr. Gleason was security, the demand, including attorney fees, being S2OO. This case was dismissed at the term 01 court recently closed and the co>ts taxed to defendant, settlement having been made with Hollingsworth & Hopkins, we understand, by Mr. Gleason. But the costs have not been paid. Evading costs and thus beating the county, in these cases where his sureties have the judgments to pay, seems to be one of “Honest Abe’s” long suits, and there are several just such cases as the above on the judgment dockets of Jasper county, where the principal has been paid and the county is left to hold the sack for costs. Abe, of course, is wholly execution proof, and no costs or anything else can be gotten out of him unless he chooses to issue a check on his Chicago bank for the same. By the way, speaking of Mr. Gleason’s having had to pay the above note, we are informed that he has paid several thousand dollars in security debts for Abe, and he is alleged to have remarked recently that he was getting d d tired of it, and that a lot of paper on which he was security, and which he had been given to un derstand by Abe had long ago been paid, had just turned up and he supposed he would have that to pay also, Perhaps if Mr. Gleason was questioned a little he might also say something about some other “sharp practices” of .Abe’s, as he is evidently getting quite sore on his profligate and unprincipled nephew. And this is the sort of dead-beat the rep üblican spoilsmen wish to be continued as president of the board of county commissioners of the great county of Jasper!

WHEN SID SAW THE LIGHT.

Morocco Courier: Forty years ago an old illiterate circuit rider, with a rusty stovepipe hat, pair of saddle bags, and mounted on a one-eyed, blue, | grass-feed gelding, could ride into ! a neighborhood, and singing a few good-old-fashioned hymns, a little preachin' of the word, accompanied with sundry and divers blows on the desk with his calloused fist, could, in a few nights, bring a Pentecostial shower that would revive and gladden the entire school district. On such occasions old neighborhood feuds would be buried and little misunderstandings explained and forgiven; and the people would begin their spring plantin’ as fresh and clean and sweet as a fifteen year old girl in a new white i muslin dress. But how do you 1 find things now, my dear brother? I With all our fine churches 3 and educated preachers, our fine singers, our large pipe organs, etc, is the work being done now better or even as good as that done by the old circuit rider in the little unpainted school-house, forty and fifty years ago? This subject is not mentioned in a flippant manner or with any desire to appear funny. It is something which, we believe, suggests itself occasionally to many a minister, when, in these days of wealthgetting and pride, he oftentimes labors so long and faithfully among his people and apparently without results.
