WANT LAW REPEALED.

Lake County Milk Shippers Do Not Like Tuberculin Testing. A petition will soon be circulated throughout the county asking all dairymen and others interested to sign, so that it can be presented to the legislature as soon as possible.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Cynthia J. Weathers, whose maiden name was Stackhouse, was born in Hamilton, Ohio, Dee. 10, 1825. Died in the home of her grand-daughter, Mrs. Mary Fox, with whom she had made her home for several years past, in Otterbein. Ind., Jan. 4, 1911, aged 85 years and 25 days. In the year 1834, when she was only nine years old, the family moved to Lafayette, Ind., coming all the way in wagons, over the old stage route, through Indianapolis. On 'the 24th of February, 1846, she was joined in the holy bonds of wedlock to James C, Weathers. To this union ten children were born, six of whom, together with the husband and father, have crossed death’s silent river before her, Mr. Weathers’ death occurring on February 6, 1878. Upon the breaking out of the civil war, Mr. Weathers heard his country’s call and. enlisted at Lafayette, in the three months service, and at the same time Mrs. Weathers * I moved with her children to Rensselaer, in order to be itear her brothers, who were then living here. When her husband returned froran the front, at the expiration^ of his term of service, he immediately re-inlisted for three years, in Co. A, 87th Indiana Vol. Infantry, serving to the end of the time and was honorably discharged. Mrs. Weathers retained to the very last very vivid recollections of those terribly trying tirtes, and as the years rolled by, lived more and more among the memories of the days when war claimed our country’s best, and hardships and sorrows were many and bitter. Mrs. Weathers was converted to

Jesus Christ about thirty-seven years ago. under the preaching of Rev. D. J. Huston, and united with the Rensselaer Baptist church, retaining her membership therein until transferred to the assembly of the saints above. Her children take special delight in bearing testimony to her | very consistent Christian life, and to , her many wifely and motherly virtues, and her old neighbors tell of her splendid neighborly qualities. Many times during the later years of her life she has spoken of her deside to “depart and be with Jesus,” and but a few days before her death she said, “I am ready to go, I am ready and prepared to go.” She leaves to mourn their loss, and yet to rejoice in the victory of her faith, four children: Mr/ Henrietta Tharp, Kentland, Ind.; Mrs. Kate Harbolt, Larkin, Kan.; Frank M. Weathers, Colorado Springs, Cflo.; and Mrs. Mary E. Peyton, Rensselaer, Ind.; eighteen grandchildren, and twelve great-grand-children. She is the last of her father's family, all the others having preceded her to the other shore. Sweetly rest thee, oh aged toiler, Thou hast wrought so well and long; Now join the host of Christ’s redeemed ones, In a glad triumphant song. Funeral services w’ere held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Peyton, Friday, Jan. 6, at 10 a. m., conducted by Rev. J. P. Green,

LARGE CROWD OUT SATURDAY

The Closing Day of Rensselaer Poultry Show BABY SHOW ALSO DREW WELL And the Association Will About Break Even Despite the Cold Weather and Poor Attendance On Other Days.—List of the PrizeWinners.

Saturday was a pleasant day and everybody and their neighbors come to town. As a result the poultry and corn show was well-attended on that day at least, and the association will about break even on receipts and expenditures. The cold and disagreeable weather all week up to Saturday not only kept people away from the country, but many in town did not care to venture out, and consequently the attendance was very slim up to Saturday. The association encountered very bad weather last year also, and scarcely broke even then. The attendance this year averaged up about the same as last year, and if it comes out even it will be doing well tinder the circumstances.

The baby’ show Saturday afternoon at the Princess theater drew a good crowd, as usual, and the judges. Dr. Hansson, V. J. Crisler, and Charles Baldwin of Logansport, escaped with whole skins. Their awards was as follows: Class A, one year old and under —lst, Mr. and Mrs. George Zea’s babe; 2d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Horsewood; 3d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hoshaw. f Class B, one year and under two —lst, babe of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Thompson; 2d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Chupp; 3d, babe of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Herath. The next show is to be held the first week in January, 1912. The association has a membership of 25. New members solicited. The association would like to increase its membership to 100 or over. The membership fee is $1 a year, and if we had 100 membrs we could offer enough prizes to have one of the best poultry and corn shoves in the state. Membership fee can be sent to the secretary, H. B.

Peter and the Dogs.

There is a monkey in the Philadelphia zoo, and his name is Peter. Peter got out of the zoo one day. and as he is a valuable monkey all the keepers that could be spared started on the chase. Peter was out for the day, it seemed. He ran across the bridge that leads to an island In the Schuylkill river, and he hid in the shrubbery. The keej>ers could not find him until they got some dogs and put them on the scent. Then Peter decided that the chase was becoming too exciting, and he jumped on the shoulder of one of the keepers and rode back to the zoo with his arms around the man’s neck. :l ", ■

Picture Card Game. Wherever you go you see picture postcards in abundance. Some very Interesting games can be played with these cards. When you have company pass pencil and paper and a picture postal to each one and ask her or him to write a verse about the place the picture represents. If these ctjrjs show buildings or famous sights ’the game will be more interesting and instructive.

The Boundary Line Road. It went by grandma's; just outside the gate upon the hill. And if we walked beside that fence we always kept quite still. We thought they called it “Lion road.” 'Twas safer not to talk For fear one might be wandering by, just . 'going for a walk. And once we peeped outside the gate. The road stretched gray and wide Uphill. We thought the lions lived upon the other side. And in the quiet afternoons, though we r would stop our game i f To listen for a faroff roar, no lions ewer came! Youth's Companion.
