WEEKLY COURIER

BEN ED. DOANE, PubUthtr. JASPER INDIANA Where there's a will there are a dozen lawyers. The man who jumps at conclusions Yery often gets stuck. Gotting about time to think of what one's going to swear off. The front porch spoon will change to tho kitchen stove squeeze. Not at any season does anybody grow ecstatic over prunes. At the wedding of tho oceans not a voice was heard In protest A piano phonograph has been Inrented. Another terror to Hat life. The rest cure was Invented for people who get tired out doing nothing. For people who like queer dances tho present khid are the right thing. The tango is a first class winter dance, as It keeps the blood circulating freely. Those Russian sxplorers who saw a green sun can no longer withhold their identity. An Oregon hen has laid 2S5 eggs In a year. We assume that she laid off cn Sundayi. Wooden shoes, wrhlch are gaining in popularity, must be fine to throw at a erenading cat. One irrepressible optimist Is the man who buys the wedding ring on the Installment plan. A German prince is trying to obtain a loan of $5,500,000. Undoubtedly he is already married. Consider the majestic confidence of the man who eats free lunch sausage and never asks a question. Doctors never kick, say garage owners. Why should they? They, too, make their living on repair work. The other dav a man was finp.d $50 I for winking twice at a pretty girl. '"""T T" I Moral: Only wink once. It's cheaper. A phonograph Is bad enough at best, but there ought to be a law to suppress those that never change their tunes. There are 160 dramas and 21 melodramas based on the life of Joan of Arc. Evidently there was nothing funny about her. A 12-ton Sphinx has been received in Philadelphia from Egypt. Thus has the population of the stone heads Increased by one. Cannibals r.re now said to object to white men as having an unpleasant salt and peppery taste. They are altogether too choosy. A Frenchman seventy-two years old has challenged another one seventyseven years old to a duel. There's no fool like an old fool.

Parisian costumers say the trouser skirt Is soon to come; that means no doubt that they'll wear 'em literally fj as well as metaphorically.

If the whale that rammed the Danish tanker belonged to any particular echool of fish, it ought to qualify as center on the football team. Since the oyster Is becoming less popular In society it has mors opportunities to pass an evening now -and then at home with its family. The czar of Russia has claimed the new continent reported to have been discovered near the north pole; and, so far as we are concerned, he is welcome to it Even the dignified United States bureau of agriculture will have its lit tle joke. Inevstigators employed by tho bureau report that a crow is a crow just becaws. A Chicago man who trie-' euicide by drinking hair pected to recover. Hair t ommit s ex- . hardly ever does what people who u&e it ex pect it to do for them. A big money prize Is to be ofl. d at tho San Francisco exposition for the best baby in the world. The project will cost a great deal of money, for every family in the country has that baby. A New York girl has broken the typewriting record hy averaging 125 words a minute for an hour. It was a marvelous performance, even if incompatibility and transubstantiation did not occur often in her copy. ß.v being sponsor at a baptism, best man at a wedding, and pallbearer at a funeral, a New Jersey man claims to have run life's gamut in a day. But no man can make such a claim unless, in addition, he has beun a witness in a divorce case. According to Doctor Schmoll, four milligrams of radium, properly, harnessed, would generate S0.000.000.000 horse power a second. These fig. uret send a wild, sweet hope surging (through the breast of the young mau irith the racing automobile habit.
