He went to Attica Monday to attend the general conference to be held at that place and he expects to be appointed to a charge somewhere. Last Sunday occurred the birthday anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jacks and wife, and their relatives planned a surprise on them, but it seems as though Sam knew something about it or at least thought he did. They were all there anyway and had a pleasant time. They all went from church. Those present were T. P. Jacks and wife, Mr. Lewis and wife, Alf Jacks and wife and daughter Ethel of Rensselaer, O. A. Jacks and family, Charley Lefler and family, Joe Clark and family, three of Will Jacks' children. Their parents could not be there on account of the mother not being well. Miss Kate Maxwell and a girl friend of Miss Ethel were also with the merry crowd.

MT. AYR. (From the Pilot.) Mrs. J. J. Garrity is reported to be quite sick with typhoid fever. Mr. and Mrs. James Elijah were sight seeing in Chicago last Sunday. Born Saturday, Aug. 29th, to Mr. and Mrs. Enos Yoder, a nine pound son. Little Alice Garrity is recovering .Very nicely from a siege of the typhoid fever. Mrs. T. E. Hufty is spending the week with friends and relatives at Rensselaer and Monticello. Fred Seward of Leesburg, Ind., came Tuesday for a visit with his mother and other friends and relatives. Harry Jenkinson, who has been quite sick for some time with typhoid fever, is reported to be slowly improving. Roy Willey returned Friday evening from a trip to his Michigan possessions. Roy thinks- he has the best farm in the state.

W. W. Miller recently sold about two thousand bushels of corn which graded No. 3. It was the best corn of last year’s growth that has been taken in at this market. George Baldwin is another of our townsmen who has been purchasing Michigan land. He recently purchased SO acres near Big Rapids. Marion Corbin has also purchased a farm near the same place. It was a sorry looking bunch of Hoosiers that left the steamer Illinois at Ludington, Mich., one day last week. The party, which consisted of Lee Mauck, Dave Halstead and Erhard Weurthner, started to Michigan to look at the country, and for the novelty of it they Went to Chicago and boarded the steamer for Ludington. The lake was exceedingly rough and before they were an hour out of Chicago the two latter named were thoroughly experiencing the agonies of seasickness. They were tucked in bed but could hot sleep and' as a last hope they began to pray, which thej’ kept up until the boat was safe in the harbor and their fears had subsided. It would be safe to bet that these gentlemen are not desirous of soon having another similar experience.

FOR THE CHILDREN

The Ermine and the Ptarmigan. Most children have all heard per haps of the queer way in which tin little animal called the ermine changes its coat according to the season, being pure white in winter, but a reddish brown in summer. This change is what naturalists call protective coloration—that is tb say, it is white in winter because its surroundings are white, being covered with snow, and it is brown In summer because Its surroundings are then brown, and. being the color of its surroundings, it can more easily hide itself from its Bnemies. There are many similar cases in nature, one of which it naturalist recently called special attention to—that of the bird called the ptarmigan. It puts on a white dress in winter, but by. a seeming inconsistency it then has a black tail. Now, one would think that Its black tail would prevent its hiding Itself in a snow field, but see how beautifully nature works. When the bird crouches on the snow, it looks like o little lump such as may be seen in every snow field, but it must be remem bered that every snow hump casts a dark shadow, and the bird’s black tall imitates that shadow.

My House, Your House. The players sit around a table, in the middle of which is a circle about five inches in diameter. The circle may be drawn with chalk ot made of paper. A slip noose is made at one end of a cord about a yard long, and the other end is tied to a cane. One of the players holds the cane, and the slip noose Is laid around the chalk circle. When he says “My house” each of the other players must touch the tip of the forefinger to the the circle, and when he says “Your house” each must withdraw ills finger and place it on the table in front of him. The commands “My house,” “Your house," may lie repeated as fast as the speaker pleases and in any order he may choose. Any one who does not put his finger in the circle at the command “My house” or who takes it out except at the command “Your house” must pay a forfeit. When the player with the cane says “Yonr house” he is allowed to tighten the noose quickly, trying to catch any fingers that remain in the circle. If he succeeds the person whose finger is caught must take the cane, and the game goes on. Dog and Kitten. A correspondent sends to the London Spectator the following anecdote:

The servant man of a family took a kitten to a pond with the intention of drowning it. The master s dog went with him, and when the kitten was thrown into tlie water the dog sprang in and brought it back to land. A second time the man threw it in, and again the dog rescued it, and when for the third time the servant tried to drown it the dog, as resolute to save the little life as the marr was to destroy it, swam with it to the other side of the pool, ran all the way home with it and deposited it before th§, kitchen fire. - From that time the dog kept constant watch over the kitten. The two were inseparable, even sharing the same bed. Conundrums. Why mustn’t you have a short walking stick? Because it can never belong to you. What is it which while it is yours alone is used more by other people than by yourself? Your name. What Is it we all like to have, but never like to keep? A good appetite. What is that which is neither flesh nor bone and yet has four fingers and a thumb? A glove.

- \ Waiting For Dinner. When one is very hungry It's luird to wait. I know. For minutes seem like hours. Antjjhe clock is always slow. There isn't time to play a game. You just sit down and wait. While mother says: "Be patient. Our cook is never late." It's best when one is hungry To think of other things, For then before you know it The bell for dinner rings. —St. Nlcholaa

A MAGICIAN'S TRICKS

“Hurry up, young man, and state your business,” said the capitalist, frowning over the gold rims of his glasses. “This is my busy day.” “You'll find my .business stated on my card," replied the well dressed young man, with a confident smile. The capitalist ran his finger up and down over a row of cards on which were written the names of persons in the anteroom who were waiting to consult him. “Is your card here, sir?” he asked. “No, sir." was the serene reply. “Well, what do you mean by coming in here and trifling with me in this way?" “I came on business, sir.” “What business?” “My card will explain that.” “Where is your card?” “In that drawer, sir," said the young man, pointing to a compartment in the desk marked “Private.” % “What are you—a lunatic?” asked the capitalist, thinking of Russell Sage and his experience with the dynamite crunk and looking hastily around the office for a means of escape. “National Intelligencer,” replied the young man. “What—what d’you say?” gasped the now alarmed man of business. “Na-tion-al in-tel-11-gen-cer. Round theruggedrocktheruggedrascalran.” “W-w-what do you m-m-mean?” stammered the capitalist. “Oh that’s gazabooese’.” “Gazabooes-e?" “Yes. of course—the lingo that they use tip at Bellevue to find out if a fellow’s crazy." “I don’t think I quite comprehend”’ said the capitalist. “Why, the doctors use those words as a crazy test. If the patient can rattle the words off without mixing the r's and i’s, he’s all right. If he’s a little off, he'll get his tongue tangled up in a half hitch.” The capitalist breathed a sigh of relief. “And you took that method to prove your sanity?’* he said. “Just it,” said the youug man. “But about your card?” ventured the capitalist, a little doubtful again.

“If you will unlock the drawer, you will find my card and my business on it,” fie reiterated. The capitalist impatiently unlocked the drawer, and, his face changed somewhat in expression as he saw lying there a card which read as follows: “Louis Leloir, Teacher of Ledgerdemain.” He looked up at the young man and smiled slightly. “Well, I guess you’ve got me this time. How did that card get there?” man bowed politely and smil/ Very eiigagingly as he said. “I cyf, s Jf‘ll you that, but if you wish to learn some now tricks I will instruct you for a small amount.”' “I lrave*»o time to learn tricks. This is my busy day. and I hope you will let me transact my regular business and allow me to bid you good— Say, how the mischief did you do that?" The question was natural enough, for Mr. Leloir, who was about to go, wiped his brow with a large jalk handkerchief and then dropped the handkerchief into his hat. As he did so he turned the inside of his hat toward the capitalist, but the hat was empty. “Do you mind doing that again?” “I will teach you the trick for $2.” A Clerk entered and handed the capitalist a message. The capitalist read it, frowned and then looked at the mysterious hat.

“Tell Mr. Boker that I can't see him at present.” “But he says it is a matter of immediate interest.” insisted the clerk. “I can't see him at present,” said the capitalist testily. The clerk bowed and left the office. “Now for the trick," said the capitalist “Do you absolutely guarantee that I can do it?” “I do.” “All right. Here's the money.” The conjurer proceeded to initiate the capitalist into the mysteries of the trick, and the capitalist began to practice it. “Pshaw!” said the business man. “That’s too simple for anything.” “That's the beauty of all my tricks—they’re simple. Here's another. Take that cane in both hands.” The capitalist grasped the cane firmly. The conjurer tapped it a few times with afcrass ring, and, presto, the ring was w’hirllng around tae cane, having encircled it in a most inexplicable way. “How much?" asked the business man. “Five dollars/sir." In about five minutes the capitalist knew all about the ring and cane trick, and then tlie magician showed him how to pull underwear from a stovepipe hat, how to make a dollar dance all over the floor as if it were alive, how to change tanks of ink into water and a dozen other astonishing feats of legerdemain. It took four hours for the conjurer to teach tlie capitalist all the tricks he knew, and the bill was considerably over SIOO. Meanwhile there was a very angry crowd of business men in the anteroom, but that has nothing to do with this story. The capitalist, however, left hiiT office by a side door.
