EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS.

Goodland Herald: Mr. Ela, special rural route inspector, was here Monday, and after going over Goodland’s claims for another route decided that there would not be enough patrons to justify the installation of another route. Such things as the Wolcott bank failure are possible in a state that has no authority over the private banking system; a state that provides an open door for financial pirates and unprincipled speculators. It wotbld seem that the honest private 'bankers should demand that their business be protected.—Lafayette Courier.

Pulaski County Democrat: The fight fdr possession of the Francesville depot grounds is rather quiet these days—no court in session and no place to have lawsuits. The railroad company has perfected its appeal to supreme court in the case in which Hathaway and others were granted an injunction restraining the company from conducting itself as the owner of the land. A motion has also been granted by the higher court advancing the case, and it is expected that a decision will be handed down by June 1. Winamac Journal: Mr, and Mrs. J. W. Hutchinson, of Jasper county, last week removed to Winamac, with the intention of becoming permanent residents in this vicinity. Mr. Hutchinson is negotiating for the purchase of a small tract of land near town, which the family will occupy. Mrs. Hutchinson has many relatives here, among whom are her brotheF, J. R. Dukes, and sisters, Mesdames Rachel Thomas, Cordelia Warfield and Ann Megahan. Mrs. Hutchinson (as well as her husband) is cordially welcomed back to her old home.

THE BUSY SEASON.

In the spring a woman’s fancy turns to thoughts of Easter hats, while her weary, careworn husband thinks a lot and murtners “Rats]” In the spring the baseball rooter give thuphis 50 cents, and the small boy sees the battle through a knothole in the fence. In the spring a thinner shadow haunts the poet’s pocketbook, and be casts upon each nickel a lean and hungry look. In the spring a brighter yellow blush is on the butterine, and boarders are suspicious of the azure-tinted cream. In the spring the festive angler from the ground extracts a worm, and with fiendish glee impales it on a hook that makes it squirm. In the spring the jolly farmer with a chuckle doth begin painting letters on a shingle: “Summer Boarders Taken In.” The bunko man gets busy—the kite is on the string—thus we realize there’s always something doin’ in the spring.

PLAY BALL.

It’s now up to the Reds to get busy and wear diamonds. The upper ten now consists of the winding nine and the umpire. Baseball players are always looking around for a change of base. If it wasn’t for baseball cranks the players would soon cease to go round. In winter baseball players swap lies about what theyAidn’t do in summer. In a game of baseball two nines are usually matched to play against one umpire. There is as much kicking in baseball as there is in football, only it is different. A baseball player isn’t necessarily insane because he gets off his base occasionally. It is a popular belief among baseball players that a home run in time saves the nine. This is the season when the office boy has a mania for attending funerals—of umpires. The baseball season now being on. the wise pitcher has ceased to enact the role of “growler.” One hundred years ago not a single game of baseball had been played in the United States. Now look at us. There is something wrong when a minister gets the princely salary of S4OO per year and a baseball pitcher gets only $4,000. Old Noah was evidently a ball tosser; the Good Book says he pitched the ark without and within—then the game was called on account of rain.

The new law regarding marriage licenses, which provides for radical changes from the present method of procedure, went in effect Saturday afternoon, April 15.

THE “HE SAID” GIRL.

Did you ever notice a group of little girls between tbe ages of 14 and 18 chattering away in a corner? The next time you sit near such a group listen and hAar if about every tenth word is about what “he said.” If it is, you have found some more of tbe “he said” f’irls, and they are not the nicest ittle girls in the world. The “he said” girls- are likely to loiter downtown after school too late to help their mothers with tbe afternoon work. They are likely to wear a little better clothes than their fathers can afford, so that the neighbors wonder what their mothers can be thinking about. The “he said” girls also too often think more of the boys than of their books, and frequently fail to ?;et through school. TThey are in or a good time, and have nothing in their heads but hairpins and two-steps. Sometimes nature takes a girl out of the “he said” family and makes a fine women of her, but generally she gets to going out to parties and is developed before

MARRIAGE LICENSES.

SPOT CASH.

A dollar in your hand is worth two in the other chap’s pocket. Take care of the pennies and your heirs will blow in the Most people would be content with their lot if it was a lot of money. Lots of sympathetic people are willing to share your last dollar with you. A millionaire has a better show in this world than the average theatrical manager. It is usually the alimony he has to pay that causes a man to figure in a divorce suit. Ignorance is certainly bliss when a man has more money than he knows what to do with. Money talks convincingly at times, and again there are times, when it gets badly rattled. All the money dropped in frenzied finance is dropped by men who are trying to pick it up. Riches and experience leads us to believe that greenbacks are printed on fly-paper Time isn’t money, otherwise a man wouldn’t have to spend so much time trying to borrow a little money. Contentment may be better than great riches, but most people are willing to take chances with a big bank balance. A politician never gives up politics for good until he is convinced that he has got his full share of coin out of the game. The more hat a man can buy for $2 the less bonnet a woman can buy for S2O; yet people still harp on the eternal fitness of things.

her time, and either marries and fades at 20 or hangs on after all the other girls are married off, and takes generation after generation of young boys to raise by hand, and becomes known as “grandma” in the crowd. There is nothing so sweet as a simple, frank, open-hearted girl. But the boy-struck girl is an abomination. The wholes matter rests with the girl’s mother. She can either bring up one of tbe “he said’’ girls or she can have a daughter to be proud of.—Ex.
