- Judge Wrigley Sustained. - ‘The appellate court of Indiana has just sustained a decision of Judge Wrigley of the Noble circuit court in affirming the suit of Nora McCurdy vs A. I, Rich. Mrs. McCurdy and Mr. Rich are residents of Swan township, each owners of eighty acre tracts of land, Mrs. McCurdy owning the west eighty. A former owner of the whole 160 acres had erected a fence running north from the' south line near the line dividing the two eighties. He sold the west eighty to Mrs. McCurdy and the east to M. Rich. Mr. Rich had the boundary line surveyed by Mr. Knox county surveyor and his line ran to the west of the line of the old fence, leaving about 4 acres of land in dispute. : g i

Mr. Rich byilt the north half of the fence on the line run by Surveyor Knox, and Mrs. McCurdy filed suit to quiet title to the four acres between the old fence, and the line run by Mr. Knox. Mr. Rich filed .a cross complaint to ' quiet his title to the Tine run by Knox. Judge Wrigley heard the case at Albion, and decided in favor of the contentions of Mr. Rich at the October term, 1920. He decided that Mrs. McCurdy had not had adverse possession of the ﬁ‘isputed strip for twenty years, nor in such manner as to give her title to the disputed strip, and awarded the disputed lands to Mr. BRich. .= . eI

BOARDING WITH ONE’S WIFE Remarkable Plan Adopted by Shrewd Jersey Man May Have Some. thing to' Recommend It. The story of the seventy-five-year-old Jersey man who has just renewed a nine-year signed contract to board with his wife (her age is forty-five) at a fixed figure, and not to speak to ber tinless the house is burning down, stirs in old-timers’ minds the refrain of a favorite song of Sol Smith Russell: : , , Oh, Of'd like to know : Who runs this show: : Is it me or Flannigan, the lodger? But, really, there isn’t any lodger in the Jersey case, nor any “starboarder,” but the husband. The /chil dren are grown up. Three song support the mother. If the aged father pays his board, he has no further respousibilities,” And he has still a good Job and is content. Also his wife is content. i g :

Our reasonable guess it that she is a mighty good housekeeper, observes the Brooklyn Eagle, Nine years with no complaint possible, without con--tract-breaking, and a renewal at the end of the term is excellent evidence of that. There are no flies on her coffee. and none in it, The steak is broiled and not fried. The bacon and chops are done to a turn. Even the hash must be eatable. Beds are proper: ly aired and carefully made up. The boarder doesn’t have té wait half an hour when he wants to take a bath. Hot water is available at all hours. Smoking in your reom lis permitted, probably encouraged. ; ‘Perhaps the habit of speaking to a wife, or baving a wife speak to’ you has its disadvantages, It often develops acrimony, sometimes alimony. Every sociological experiment, such as the Jersey one, is entitled to be judged on its merits, The human race must e g

HAD TO TIE THE YOUNGSTERS Were Not to Be Trusted When Grandmother Dipped the Candies on the Old Farm. " There was. another event that took place once & year in the big kitchen, se much more exciting than spinning that instead of being allowed to sit at liberty, with directions and cautions, we had to be tied to the table legs with a clothes line or we would have been covered with grease. It was a mysterious proceeding, which began with my grandmother spreading a space on the floor with Albany Journals, and Ontario County Repositories and Waterbury Americans. Then she stirred the contents of & brass kettle that hung on the crane, and took up the Waterbury Americans, cherished souvenirs of her native town, and replaced them with ordinary Repositories. Next she brought four kitchen chairs and set them on the four corners of the rectangle of newspapers and connected them with two poles. Then she stirred the brass kettle again and looked at the clock. Then she

proceeded to bring in a large number of rods, each of which was looped with six twisted wicks, and lald the ends of the rods neatly on the poles, It was then that we were tied up with a little free rope .allowed for limited range, before the brass kettle was emptied into the copper boiler. - And now the fun began, when my grandmother dipped the-first two rods of wicks into the boiler of melted tallow, and we danced as much as the table legs would permit. It was two rods at a tlme and then-two more, over and over again until the full-grown candles hung in rows, slender at the top and enlarging to a thick, peinted end at the bottom. It took some of the joy out of our young lives when ‘the tin molds came and put an end to candle-dipping.—W. Henry Shelton in Scribner’s. o

FEW DIVERSIONS IN JAPAN

Youngsters Work Hard in School, and That Is Probably Their Life's Happiest Period. Almost all forms of recreation known to boys in America and Europe are forbidden to the Japanese schoolboy. He is under social or economic bans that restrict his play for long periods to such dull pastimes as keeping a “diary, writing and collecting postal cards and attending a young men’s club—which has far less interesting functions than a club in America, remarks the Detroit News. Some of the more fortunate Japanese schoolboys may be permitted to make a walking ‘trip during vacation. For them the trip is a memorable adventure. The annual Opening-of-the-River festival gives opportunity to watch the fireworks and lighted boats on the Sumida. In the evening he sits in his room, gazing from a window or playing on a flute that costs 10 or 156 cents. Lantern processions, by which the Japanese celebrate their many special days, are another diverslon. f

This has resulted In calling school days the period of “bitter learning”— regarded in later life as the student’s hdpplest time, because when he leaves school he marries a girl in whose selection he has no word, and mukt earn his living with whatever tools are given to him. o

~ Jokes in Architecture. ‘ - The builders of the old churches in England were not so serious but that they now and then perpetrated a joke, even in stone. On more than one of their creations they carved in relief a scene representing a monk preaching solemnly to a flock of geese. The same humorous spirit is sometimes to be detected in the.domestic architecture of early times. Here ig an instance: Just upon the boundaries of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire formerly stood a rambling old farmhouse.: The living room was long and low, and on the’center beam that went across the ceiling: was inscribed this legend: “If you are cold, go to Hertfordshire.” This seemingly inhospitable invitation was explained, by the fact that one-half of the room was in one county and one:half in the other. The fireplace was in Hertfordshire, |

Elk Sheds Antlers Yearly., Once a year elks shed their horns. As soon as the old ones are gone new ones start. This process is repeated every year, the only difference being that an upper prong appears each time. Thus an elk's age can be told by the prongs in one of his antlers, - 3 . : The shedding is apparently & painless occurrence. As an antler falls off a clot of blood forms at its root. In the first six months of its growth there is a soft skin over the antlers; this is known as the velvet. As long as the velvet is there the antlers remain somewhat soft and - sensitive, but when the velvet peels off . the antlers become hard and dry up, and they lose all feeling. \ R

The Wrong Clock. i The endeavor to conserve daylight has Pad unforeseen results. A Scotch farmer's son returned from the city with an alarm clock. The “old man,” on asking was informed that it was to ‘be used for “waukenin’ folk in the mornin’s.”. St , “Imphm,” he replied, “did ye no see ony clocks that wud gar ye gang tae yer bed at nicht? I can wauken ye wi a stick In the mornin’s, but a’ the sticks in Scotland’ll no’ bring ye in at nicht.”—Eßdinburgh Scotsman. W F. E. Weir and Dr. C. G.

The Cliff Dwellers. . Clift-dwellers is the name of a race of Indians, formerly living in the cliffs bordering on the valleys of the Rio Grande and Rio-Colorado. Their homes were built in the recesses of the cliffs at a height often of several hundred feet' from the ground, and at the present time seemingly inaccessible, as the former paths that led to them nearly all lrave been destroyed by the crumbling away of the rocks. The dwellings soxfnetin_ies consisted of many rooms,. and in some casew were two, or more, stories high, hewn in the rock, with wooden lintels in the doors and windows, which were probably closed with skins -or blankets. The walls were finished with a plaster of clay. How the inhabitants subsisted is not known, but probably mainly by hunting and fishing, as the soil about these localities was barren. The Pueblo Indians, who still are found ‘in that section, are thought to be descendants of the cliff-dwellers. They possess considerable skill in making articles of pottery and the like, . |

“The Exception Proves th:é Rule.” With /the person who thinks about the things he says, this much-used expression must “hit a snag” every time it is used. For exception cannot prove a rule. Indeed, every bona fide exception weakens a rule. : ~ It is a change in the connotation of saying, “Prove all things,” and so responsible for its present misuse. For in the early days of the English language “prove’” meant “test,” as when St. Paul said, “Prove all things.” And so when it was said that the exception “proves” the rule there was nothing illogical about it. Exceptions do put a rule to test. REither they soon vitiate the rule or the rule is strong enough to bring them within its mandate. : i
