The First Page Section

Contains one of the best and most up-to-date maps of Indiana it is possible for us to obtain. In striking colors it shows plainly— The counties, county seats, and all the towns in the state. The congressional districts, plainly outlined and numbered. The railroads, interurbans, rivers and canals. The distance between all railroad stations. Around the margin of this map are good photographs of all the governors of Indiana, from Governor Arthur St. Clair of the Northwest Territory down to and including

Gov. .J. Frank Hanly

On the reverse side of the map is a complete list of all towns and postoffices in the state, arranged in alphabetical order, with the population of each. The map is indexed with marginal figures and letters, po that a town, however large or small, may be instantly pointed out. With the establishment of rural routes the postoffices Of many small towns have been closed and the people served by rural route out of a neighboring town. This map shows how to address mail for such places.

The Home Library Wall Chart would easily sell for $2.00 atany book store or map supply house. It will prove a valuable feature in any home or office or school.

THE JOKER WORSTED

“What was the matter with you the other day? You were going down the street in a hansom. You were without a hat. Your face was dusty, and your nose was bleeding. Your collar was”— “Stop!” he said. “It was cleverness brought me to the condition in which you saw me. I’ve been getting cleverer and cleverer of late.’* “Do get on with the story.” “I say that it was a dirty trick of Jennings to run away like that. And those silly books about Theodore Hook and other practical jokers ought to be stopped. If I hadn’t read that stuff about the man betting that he’d make the utter stranger invite him to dinner and winning it. I could have kept quiet, but after that I kept on having clever ideas. Mind, my idea about the ticket in - pecfor wasn’t bad. though that a-:ft what"— "Y !i me almut the ticket inspector S ■ that was at Baker street. I saw <• ;i> uu inspector on the hunt, H- h ivityr a first class ticket, 1 got . <> a ormul class carriage. My idea ; ’ > tell him that I hadn’t got a c< :.c! Hass ticket, but was quite willi. g to change into the third. Then he’d say that I could not do that and should have to pay the excess, the difference between second and third. Then I should have replied that I wouldn’t pay and that 1 would change. Then when he tried to stop me from getting out I should have shown him my first class ticket. See?” “Yes.” “Can’t you imagine what a silly goat that inspector would have looked? Well, he came to my carriage, and he said. "Tickets. / please.’ I began. ‘I haven’t got a second class ticket, but'— Then he interrupted me. He said. ‘Show ypur ticket, ptease,’ speaking quite civilly, as if he were being patient with a child that couldn’t understand. Then I had to show ft and he didn’t seem surprised or amused or pained. He said, "Thank you,’ and went on. Other people in the carriage smiled a good deal, and I rather fancy they were smiling at me. These things don’t work out the way you have plan* ned them beforehand. That was what was wrong with the signaling in the park.” “What was that?”

“That was what brought me to the condition in which you saw me yesterday. I had seen the soldiers signaling in the park. They fool übout with flags and notebooks, and crowds come round and get frightfully interested. Well, my idea was to do some bogus signaling that didn’t mean anything and take in the crowd. 1 meant to write tp the papers about it afterward, so that the crowd would know they’d been fooled and get mad with themselves. That’s the last thing, by the way, I ever do with Jennings. I tXd him about It, and ha was a good deal agnasd : tafali_%dLMLjPA W*

put on blue serge suits and yachting caps, so that we looked official, with a dash of the navy about it. We had no flags, because we thought it would be more fun to signal with our arms and legs, but we both carried thundering big notebooks. We took up our positions in the park about fifty yards apart and took care to be near a path where plenty of people would be passing. Jennings signaled first. He stood on his left leg and worked an imaginary bicycle with his right. Then he rapped his knees together sharply twice and finished by striking his chest with both hands alternately very quickly. I thought I should have died Of laughing, but I controlled myself and pretended to take down the meaning of all the signals in my notebook. "Then it was my turn to signal. I did a windmill action with my right arm and bell pulling with my left. Then I covered my left eye with one hand and stamped with my right foot. I threw in a few more eccentric movements. and of course Jennings pretended to record them. By this time each of us had a little crowd around him. At his end it was almost all children and nursemaids, but at mine there were a good many ablebodied park loafers. Jennings always has all the luck, as you’ll see.

“Well. It was a regular bean feast and went beautifully. When the crowd asked me questions I told them not to talk, as It interrupted the signaling, but after a few minutes a big. interfering kind of man came up. He was very quarrelsome and partially intoxicated. but I fancy that he knew something about signaling. He bad not watched us for half a minute before he said we were not signaling at all and that the whole thing was a plant. I began to feel a little nervous. Then he snatched my notebook and of course ■aw that there were no genuine entries in it. I moved away, and that crowd, which seemed much annoyed, moved after me. Jennings, seeing there was trouble on, bolted at once in the most cowardly way instead of coming to help me, and as he had only nursemaids at his end he was all right.” “But you were not?” “The police got me out of the park in the end and put me into the hansom in which you saw me. I can’t understand why the crowd lest its temper over a harmless little Joke like that, but It did. Anyhow. I’ve done with these smart tricks now. In future you’ll kindly remember that I’m just as big a fool as anybody else." I promised not to forget it.—Black and White.

Mothers In Factories.

Ignorance no doubt accounts for much of the waste of infant life, bnt Lancashire’s industrial conditions give her her bad pre-eminence. 'Mothers who work in the factory cannot rear their children naturally, aud the care I fend the skill and the attention, necesI sary for successful artificial feeding are beyond them.—Manchester Guardian.

FOR THE CHILDREN

' Queer Mrs. Kangaroo. Mrs. Kangaroo bus a pocket in which she carries her young ones. It is the coziest kind of a place for a little kangaroo, and sometimes you will find a whole family of brothers and sisters in the pouch at once. However, this is not the only way Mrs. Kangaroo has of carrying her children. When hunters pursue her she puts all her babies into her pocket and runs for dear life, but if she feels that the enemy is gaining on her and that she is in danger of being captured she seizes one little one after another with her forepaws and hurls it out of the pocket to one side of her pathway as far as she can throw it She takes care to do this only at times when the enemy is not in sight. In this way she is relieved of the weight of the youngsters, and she can run faster.

At the same time, says the Chicago News, her motive is qot a selfish one. She throws her babies out in so skillful a manner that it does not hurt them. They are soft little creatures, aud when they laud In a brush heap they are none the worse for it. The hunter loses ail scent of the little kangaroos by this movement.

Character Guesting. Ail the players sit around iu a circle. The player who first thinks of an Interesting character iu one of Grimm’s fairy tales or in “Alice In Wonderland” or any other book that is quite familiar to all the players sits on the floor within the circle and begius to describe the character. The other children listen carefully, and the first oue who thinks he has guessed the character sits on the floor beside tbe other aud continues to describe the ehnracter. If he has guessed rightly and is correct in his description, the first player allows him to go on describing, but if he is mistaken the first player shoos him out of the game. As a child thinks he has guessed the character he sits on the floor and tells what he knows of the character, and so it goes on till all the children are sitting on the floor except those who have guessed wrong, and they are all driven out of the game.

Menagerie—A Jolly Hoax. Secure a box four or five feet long and one or two feet across, at both ends. Put a sliding partition in the center and place it, covered with a dark cloth, on a table in a room adjoining the one where the company is assembled. Admit a boy and girl to this room, which is the menagerie. Tbe keeper asks them what animal they wish to see first They are then j placed at the opposite ends of the box ' and told to look within; then the partition Is suddenly drawn out, and they gase at one another. They remain in the room till all have been admitted sad hoaxed in the same .way. 1.. ' •

Crror In Grammar. There has been a good deal of discussion now and then as to the phrase “grammatical error,” but the best scholars hold that it is not good English. The adjective “grammatical” is active and not passive, or perhaps it might be better to say that It is subjective and not objective, and it means in accordance with the rules or principles of grammar. There cannot, therefore, be a grammatical error, for an error cannot be grammatical. The right expression is “an error in grammar.”— Chicago News. A Mighty Key. One of the oldest and most curious samples of the locksmith's art is attached to the door of Temple church, Fleet street, London. The key weighs seven pounds, is eighteen inches long, and, unlike other keys, it was not made for the lock. On the contrary, the lock was made for it. A Memory Test. A memory test which will trip up many consists in writing down the names of the books of the Bible in tbeir proper order. It is surprising how few persons will be able to name all the Scriptural divisions and in anything approaching regular sequence. A Few Riddles. When is a sailor not a sailor? When he is aboard. Wbat most resembles half a cheese? The other half. What sort of fruit is always placed in a letter? A date. What part of London is in France? The letter “n.” A Riddle. A child asked her father how old he Was, and the father replied. “I am just six times as old as you are, but iu twenty-four years you win be one-balf as old as I.” What were tbeir ages? Answer.—Six and thirty-six. A Shoe Song. Twenty little beds in rows of ten. Twenty little roily poly men. Little black men go to bed by day. I must put then in and make them stay. Naughty little black man, Go to bed. I say! Naughty little black man. Go to bed. I say! Deary me! There, you see. Now he’e run away! On the floor, by the door. See him try to hide. All the other black men Sleeping side by side. Twenty little beds in rows of tea. Only nineteen roily poly men. Tve a little bed to spare today. Naughty little man to run away! Naughty little black man Left an empty space. Never mind. He will And Some one takes his place. Nurse has got quite a lot Like the ones I lose— Little roily black men. Buttons on my shoes.
