WALT MASON

The Poet Philosopher. The sun. is a success, though, sometimes, we confess, it shines so long, with rays so strong, it fills us vith distr—:s. Up in its vault of bluß it shines on me and you, and breeds the flies, and roasts and fries till in out fat we stew. Beneath a sun-cook-ed sky, the crops go all awi'y; the - peas and beans, the cdrn and greens, turn up their toes and die. Earth’s surface cracks and shrinks, dry are the wells and sinks; and cattie bawl and caterwaul for cool refreshing drinks. Ah, then, with anguished eyes, we view the sizzling skies, and cry: "Old Sol, you’ve cooked us all, the whole world bakes and fries.’’ We murmur and repine, and say: "It would be fine, if that blamed sun would just, get done, and let

some other shine!” But when the sun’s concealed, behind a cloudy shield, and sends no ray, day after flay, to light the sodden field, how sad and gloomy then are all the sons of men! “We’d give four bones,” all mankind groans, ‘‘to see the sun again!” The spring is one of clouds, So gloom the land enshrouds, and grief is rife in every life, and wrath inspires the crowds.

ISSUES BULLETIN ON EGGS.

State Food Commissioner Directs Attention to Laws on Marketing of Product. If. E. Barnard, state food commissioner, has issued a bulletin, directing attention to the Indiana law which forbids the sale or offering for sale of eggs unfit for human food, and giving farmers suggestions in. regard to the marketing of eggs. He announces that beginning May Ist dealers will be required to candle all eggs, and to throw out all spots, blood rings ami rots, and the inspectors ol the state food department and police and health officers of the state have been instructed to enforce the provisions of the law. Dr. Barnard’s suggestions to farmers are as f ollows: “Sell eggs on a loks-off basis. Provide plenty of clean, dry nests for your 'liens. Gather the pegs daily.in cool weather and twice a day in hot or rainy weather. Do not wash eggs. Use the dirty and small eggs at home. Keep eggs in a cool, dry 'place, which is fred from odors. Don’t sell incubator eggs; they are bad. Market your eggs daily, if possible; if not, every other day. Don’t sell eggs which were found in a stolen nest. Keep the eggs out of Hie sun when taking them to town. Don’t keep eggs near oil, onions, etc., as they readily absorb odors. Kill or sell all roosters as soon as the hatching season is dyer,”

laylor I’ghoui'l Reported to Be Some Better. W ord was received yesterday morning from C. T. Boicourt, who was -aken to Indianapolis last - week where lie underwent a severe operation for ulcers of the bowels at the Methodist hospital, to the effect that he was quite a bit better. Mr. Boicourt had been in failing health tor the past two or three > ears and was in a very serious condition when taken to the hospital. It was thought Sunday and Monday that he -would not sur-ive, but his friends now have hope ihat he -will recover.

Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, ano acts directly upon the blood and mucous surface. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and ia a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, Ohio.

DEMOTTE.

Attorney John 11. Greve went to Rensselaer Monday on business. Otto DeYoung had another carload of cement come it last week, Ranson Halleck is having a new stone foundation put under his house. ■ Andrew Wilson was seen on our streets again last week. Hogs must have gone up. ‘ . The election in Keener township Saturday went in favor of the wets by 125 majority. We had a good rain Sunday, just what we needed. A few farmers are ready to plant corn. D. B. Gleason fs having a new building put up on his property in the west part of town. , Ransom Halleck went back to South’Carolina to take charge of a large dredge last week. Frank Robertson cam'e home to vote Saturday. He looks just like he did thirty or more years ago. C. 0? Spencer is starting a new building for Mr, Russell, north of the railroad, in north Demotte. William Sheever is preparing to put up a new blacksmith shop on the lot where his old one burned down. Henry C. Dekok has begun his large brick building south of his

store, which will be a credit to our town. .1 Mr. and Mrs. Fred Watson visited Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jessup, father and mother of Mrs. Watson, at Lacross last week. The new restaurant building is also about completed and will soon be in position to feed all comers in first class style. John W. Tilton's youngest daughter, Nancy, of Rensselaer, came last week to visit with, her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Greve. John Fairchild was home from Monon, where he and his sister are running a restaurant. John still claims this as his home, or, at least, his voting place. Albert Kpnovsky is filling his lumber shed with the very best class of building material of all kinds, so you need not send away for lumber if you want to put up a building; It don’t look right to petition for an election and then not vote for it, as such must have been the case here when 42 nameA, where on the petition”'and only 22 voted “dry.” F. M. Hart is ready to put on his ft It- roofing as soon as it arrives. He is putting up a good substantial building, which will be a good improvement to Demotte. . 0 Albert J. Knip, constable of K'-ner tn., and barber of Demotte, was a Chicago goer last Wednesday and came home Thursday morning. Albert did not show any signs of being rawly dealt with this trip. The election board informed your correspondent that if you want a good meal to call on Mrs', Ran Hal-’ leek. Evidence to that effect can be obtained from the members of the election board for the two meals she put up for them on election day could not have been any better. George C'oberly lost his house north of the railroad by fire Sunday about 5:30 p. m. The family were away from home, and the fire is thought to have started from a chicken brooder. The household goods, were mostly saved; Mr. Coberly had his loss partly covered by insurance, but not nearly enough to cover all.

A SUMMER ROMANCE.

An Example of the Originality Shown by Light Fiction Writers. HE paused in the doorway, a superb figure, his Greek profile limned Whitely against the dark velvet portieres. He held this for about nine feet of film. “Julietta,” he said, as he noiselessly crossed the priceless Daghestan rug, “I have bad news for you.” “Mercy, how you startled me!” pettishly cried the haughty beauty. "I’ll startle you still more,” he gloomily responded. “It’s about my father's failure. It was entirely unexpected. He didn’t save a cent from the wreckage.” The girl gave a low cry. “And you what will become of you?*’ ' “I hope to hire out,” he coldly replied. “I believe I’d like to be the chauffeur of a horse car?’ “But there are no horse cars in Cleveland.” “I’m going to New York,” he gravely responded, lie paused. “Will you wait for me?” “I will wait until 3 O'clock,” she answered, and her voice was full of hauteur. He shook his head. "I couldn't make a fortune in that time,” he gloomily asseverated. “Let’s end it now. Here is the neat silver matchbox you gave me.” "And here,” she responded, "are your phony pearls.” “And my letters?” “Here.” He glanced through the bundle. “That’s the bunk I want,” lie cried. “No breach of promise court for these.” He turned in the doorway. "Father failed twenty years ago,” he said. “He’s richer now than ever!” With a low cry the stricken girl slipped to the floor and buried her face in the fauteuil.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
