a maid I had when I was first married said to me."
The lady-who-always-knows-some-how had been in to call on a neighbor of ours who had Just come back from a long visit, she had been telling us how enthusiastic this woman's daughter was at her return, and how she could not seem to do enough for her mother. This was a new character for the daughter. She has the reputation of being a decidedly selfish girl who lets her mother wait on her by Inches and rewards her with rudeness and impatience. We expressed our interest as to
what the girl's spasm of exuberant appreciation reminded the lady-who-always-knows-somehow. of, and .the lady went on: "It was one time when I was housecleaning. I wanted to get everything clean; together for once, and I'd been working hard enough to kill myself and I just gave out and had to go to bed. I had a Jolly little Irish girl.

A DESERVED VICTORY. v The election of Dr. w. F. Howat to the presidency of the Indiana State Medical society Is a splendid compliment to the Hammond physician, an honor to the community In which he lives and a credit to the Lake county doctors to went to Indianapolis and made the fight for him. Dr. Howat has long been regarded one of the leading physicians of Northern Indiana, but aside from professional attainments he is known as a profound student, a thinker and, in general, a high type of citizen. He has been a factor In the civic and fraternal life of the city. As a member of the school board he introduced many new ideas into the schools of the city; as a member of the library board he helped to build up a library that is a credit to the city, and as the master of the Masonic lodge he was a decided success. Accordingly Dr. Howat has the good wishes of his many friends in this county and especially his associates in other enterprises with which he has been identified in the past.
