BKN KI. DOANK, Publisher. jaspeil INDIANA.. Wiroloss reports fron Africa aro to the effect that the nervousness In the jungle Is becoming acute. Mrs. Bahra- Eddy. In the language of Mark Twain, retorts that rumors of her decease are grossly exaggerated. Canadians, by ordering a navy on the installment plan, should oncourage the Swiss admirals to plan a few batlleships. "A Colorado town advertises for a female teacher with a glass oye, gray liair and a cork log." A steady Job lor the right woman. Nat Goodwin has divided his fortune with his new wifo. In case trouble follows this should simplify matters as far as alimony may be concerned. A confirmed bachelor objects to some of the spring hats on the ground that they violnte the scriptural injunction concerning the hiding of one's light under a bushel. A member of the German Reichstag ras attacked I hysteria while speaking and was forced to quit. Over here when public men get hysteria thoy beep right on talking. "An English preacher declares that London Is the wickedest city in the world." That makes the fourth wickedest city in the world we have heard, of during the past six months. In Missouri a farmer has been calling home his pigs at night by means of a phonograph. The phonograph. It appears, has a totally different bffoct on pigs than on human beings. The Kansas Magazine mournfully eas that 99 per cent, of the poetry It rcceivos is "Intolerably bad." It would be interesting to know what percentage of the poetry it receives It prints. Florida alligators have killed so many hogs that the Legislature has passed a bill which permits the killing of the reptiles. Pigskin is more valuable "on the hoof" than real " 'guter." If the cost of living goes up much higher, good housewives can bring home the things from market in their pretty little chatelaine purses, instoad of market baskets. Would not that be perfectly lovely? Andrew Lang says American humor lacks subtlety. If it does It Is the fault of the people who consume American humor. They have no time to probe for points, as Andrew's readers are in the habit of doing. One of the magazine writers assorts that Americans are flogged, thrown into prison and shot In Guatemala. If this is the case it would seem to be the Immediate duty of Uncle Sam to convince Guatemala that he Is a hot tamala. It would be a rude Jolt to Prof. Pickering and Flammarlon to learn, on opening up communication with Mars, that the Inhabitants of that chesty and exclusive planet had long been picking our secret thoughts off the interplanetary wlrelesr. at every Ternal and autumnal equinox. One of the large paper-making companies lately decided to manage Its forest In accordance with the principles laid down by the government forestry service. The owners of three of the five million acros of forest controlled by the paper-makers have beon In consultation with the head of the forestry service to discuss plans of co-operation. A preaohcr gives it as his opinion that girls like to dance only because they can thus get themselves hugged. He surely is mistaken. Most girls could get themselves hugged by merely stepping behind the door, and it is generally understood that hugging in such a place Is much more satisfactory to both parties than out In the middle of a lighted ball room. It Is never too late to make n new start. The hoard of guardians at Wlllcsden, England, recently lent a few shillings to an old man of 73, in order that he might leave the workhouse and set up as a flower seller. How he got Into the workhouse Is not disclosed. The more Important thing is that, at so advanced an age, he has the courage to quit the place and try to oarn his living. Tho truth Is that the natural boy Is a born player. Ho plays to grow, and plays with all his heart. He minds his Instincts at the time when they are strongost. and he Is less likely to everplny In his earliest days than ho b years afterward. It will bo tlmo enough to steer him away from bases-all when some other game arrives vlth at least nn cqunNcall to mental and bodily agility. Folks who have most advice to spare often need It most

THAT LUCKY NICKEL.

How He Discovered His Charmer Was Fickle. She was pretty, attractive and vory popular, lie was as unsophisticated ana uususpectlng as she was clever. She was a staller and he could not make himself bollevo it. But, now, for tin trifling sum of five cents deposited m the coin box of a telephone, and tin results thereof, ho is wise and she is none the wiser. On the llrst day previous to that of my story, he had called hor on tho 'phone, and was met with the stall that she was not feeling very well, so j he had better call her agalu in the morning. As he was walking to the drug slore tho following morning his gazo fell upon a lonesome looking nickel lying In the gutter near the curb. Upon closer Investigation he found the date on the nickel stamped 1SS5. "Why." he mused, "that ought to be a lucky coin, that's the same year I was born. Wonder If it is lucky?" And he lighted a cigarette and took a deep inhale. So on to the drug store he went, this unsuspecting youth, carrying his lucky nickel. He was in such a hurry to put the coin to the test that he merely nodded In answer to the clerk's friendly greeting. After calling for her number and relighting his cigarette he was told to "drop in a nickel, please; here's your party." But Instead of the usual "hello!" he heard something more like this: "Yea. send it to Mr. V. H. H . at the Virginia Hotel, Columbus, Ohio. and charge It to . Oh, Maude! Go to the door and call Bobble quick " (Now Maude was the girl's name and Bobble was her little pet fox terrier ) Then over the phone came three or four short whistles, followed by, 'Here Bobbie! Come in here," unmistakably Maude's voice. He had heard enough, so he hung up tho receiver and decided to tell the operator she had put him in the wrong pew. Of course, she was very sorry and said for him to hang up and she would call him when the line was not busy. During the two or three minutes' wait he was busy framing up a little speech, congratulating hor on her speedy recovery. And as he was thinking he couldn't help smiling about the lucky nickel, now lost again. His meditations were suddenly, but pleasantly, interrupted by the little buzzer on the phone, and again he turned and buried his nose In the transmitter. "Hello! Is this H 's residence? Is Maude there? What! You say she isfack In bed Well, that's too bad. I guess It won't make any difference who this Is. Good-by." And as he rose to go he mutterod to himself: "Tis but a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive. How He Worked the Artist. This account of how an Intimate friend of the great artist Kyosai obtained one of the painter's drawings Is from Mrs. Hugh Frazor's "Letters from Japan:" Kyosai always refused If asked outright for a sketch. So his friend began the negotiation by offering the artist an excellent dinner. When Kyosai had drunk deeply and seemed in a mellow humor his host called for drawing materials, saying that he felt, an artistic fancy taking possession of him. No one was surprised, as Japanese gentlemen ofte-.' '.muse themselves in this way after a feast. The sen-ant then brought an enormous sheet of white paper and spread It on the floor with the bnwhes and Indian Ink beside It. The crafty host, without looking at his guest, sank on his knees and began to draw, apparently absorbed In his occupation, but Intentionally producing weak and incoherent Jines. Kyosai watched the feeble effort In silence and growing Irritation, and at last jumped up, dashed the tvro aside and tore the brush out of his hand, exclaiming: "Out of the way, you wretched bungler! I will teach you how to draw!" And the result was a price less sketch, which remained In the possession of the wily entertainer. Dyeing Real Flowers. "Rvorv once In awhile some florist gets busy and puts some odd colored blossoms in his winnow as an extra attraction to the display," said a clubman. "I Just noticed one down the street. It consisted of a bunch of impossibly green carnations. At first glance a good many people thought they were mane or paper, oui mey goi Interested when they found out that they were 'natural.' Now. anybody who wants to have any of these freak flowers can get them by buying some rm nf nnlllnp Ink. nnv color desired. Carnations are the easiest to color white ones, of course.
