TThe laying off the Kentland fair ground into town lots, for building purposes, marks the end of the country fair in Newton county. /It is well.

MOW COULD ME? He took a bottle up to b.-;Y, Drank whisky hot each night, Drank cocktails in the morning; But never could get tight. He shivered in the evening. And always had the blues. A nti! he took a bowl or two But be hever blamed the booa-t His joints were full of rheumatij, His appetite wsa stack, He had pains between the shoulder* And chills ran down Ins back He suffered from insomnia, Atnight he couldn't snooze He said it was the climate - He never blamed the booze. His constitution was run dowuAt least that’s what he said— His legs were swelled each morning. And he often had swelled head. He tackled beer, wine, whiskey. And if they didn't fuse He blamed it to dyspepsia— But he never blamed the boozt. He said he couldn't sleep at night* And he always had bad dreams: He claimed he always laid awake Till early sun rise beams. He thought it was malaria— Alas, 'twas but a ruse— He-blamed it onto everything— But he never blamed the booze His liver needed scraping, And his kidneys had the gout. He swallowed lots of bitters, Till at last he cleansed them out. His legs were swelled with dropsy. Till he had to cut his shoes; He blamed it to the doctors— But he never blamed the booze. Then he had the tremens And he tackled rats and snakes; First he had the fever, And then he had the shakes. At last he had a funeral. And the mourners had the blues. And the epitaph they carved for trim ww“He never blamed the booze.”

Monticello Journal: Woods®* Thrasher, a resident of Franceeville has entered suit in the White Circuit Court by his attorneys, Reynolds, Sills & Reynold* for SIO,OOO d<Ssiaages against th© Monon Railway. In his complaint Mr. Thrasher, who is nightwatch at Francesville. states that on November 29, 1902, he was struck by the defendant’s train while standing on the station platform in that town and sustained a fracture of the left arm and also four ribs, besides minor injuries. The suit will conic up at the April term. At last we have a play in “A Royal Slave” that will suit the most critical. Tt is a delightful picturo of the Laud of the Sun, over which the Montezumas once ruled in regal splendor. Now that our country is spreading its wings over so many Spanish possessions, it behooves us all to catch s glimpse of the land of poetry and sunshine—-Mexico. Clarence Bennett in the title role is at one© majestic and tender. Natural and easy in his manner, his work seems no effort and he is quiet and convincing. His support is of the best and too much cannot be said of the play. It is original, thrilling, fascinating, amusing, and for a change every actor has 1 character to portray. It is refreshing to find a piece that calls for actors not sticks. At Ellis open house, Monday, March 31.
