Given Good Advice. . Fred Stanley and Willie Torbett, each sixteen years old who have been boarding at the county jail since their incarceration there on July for robbing a Nickle Plate box car near Arnold Station have prosgpects of being at liberty in the course of thirty days. The lads appeared before Judge Arthur Biggs of the Whitley circuit court at tive o’clock Friday afternoon and entered a plea of guilty to a charge of petit larceny which was preterred against them. Judge Biggs had felt for some time that because of the youth of the lads and the minor character of their offense that he would not ‘impose a prison sentence ‘which would brand the two youngsters as convicts and so decided to let them off with a thirty day jail sentence in -addition to the two and a half months that they have served in the county jail while awaiting a disposition of their case. The young lads were given some sound advice by the Judge and- were then turned over to Sheriff Stel. —Coiur}bia City Post.

To Discontinue Operations,

People of Ligonier and vicinity will regret to learn that Compton & Holdeman will discontinue their wood work ing factory January Ist 1926 unléss they sell out in the meantime. Mr. Holdeman is a resident of Klkhart and his visits to Ligonier have been infrequent. The fact: fhat' he has not been here to shoulder his part of the responsibilities of the business has proven a disappointment. : - Ed Compton is a building contractor of prominence and he feels he can do better in following his own line of business. At present the factcry is- a handicap. :

Pastor Got Scolding -~ [More or Less Merited One of the oddest things about the “Further Reminiscences,” by S. Baring; Gould, is the fact that he tells an amusing story of his experience in getting the words to the song, “John Barleycorn,” but omits all mention of the fact that he wrote “Onward ChristianSoldiers.” ; U : : The clergyman and writer spenr;‘ much time in collecting the old songs, of the countryside. He heard that an, almost bedridden old sinner of the neighborhood was an authority on' “John Barleycorn,” as it was sung in the district. So Baring Gould called on him, fortunately, on a day when the old man’s wife was away, and discovered the invalid had managed to get downstairs. He sang lustily and gratefully and the ribald words were carefully written down, i i The next day the minister called to get his pencil and was met by an irate wife. ‘“What do you mean,” she asked, “coming here and getting my husband to sing his old trashy songs: when he ought to be preparing to meet, his Savior?” * She: said that she had, put her husbard to bed and had burned ‘his trousers so he could not get up again - and entertain visitors. The minister was scolded .as he never had been before for encouraging a man to be wicked.

Find Priceless Relics ' - Below Antwerp Street Golden altar vessels dating from the Tenth century have been found in an undefground passage in an Antwerp street recently, Pierre Van Paus{ sen reports, in the Atlanta Constitution. The passage was like a long tunnel and experts claim that it was formerly -used by a religous order whose house was situated on the outskirts of the city. The friars used the tunnel to visit the cathedral when they wished to aveid walking through the, streets. The tunnel ends abruptly and the site of the cloister to which it led is even in doubt. Near the altar vessels of priceless value were the inevitable skeletons nearly always discovered in connection with such finds. There is no way to estimate when the vessels were hidden. Some advance the opinion that they were hidden from the English raiders, others say they excited the envy of Spanish soldiers. The nost likely explanation is that they were brought to safety in the days of inconoclast outrages, witen mobs invaded the churches and slashed priceless paintings, smashed inimitably wrought gold and silver adornments and tore invaluable illuminated books and manuscripts into shreds.

Men and Cheairs

“Men are like chairs,” writes a woman in a foreign exchange; “they vary in shape and size, but all can be sat on. Some men are like mahogany chairs; they lose their polish after a little while. Some are like Chippendale chairs; they need delicate handling. Some are like plush upholstered chairs; one cannot stand them on a hot day. Others are like panliamentary seats, they have to be won. Some married men are like deck chairs; they are always being dragged about. Some are like rocking chairs; they put you to sleep. And finally, some men are like benches; it takes more than one woman to sit on them—a wife and a mother-in-law.”

Garden of Eden

Josephus, the Jewish historian, locates the garden of Eden between the ‘Ganges and the Nile; others in southern Babylonia; still others in Armenia, near the source of the Tigris and the Huphrates. Recent discoveries would indicate that Eden was the Sumerian name for the plain of Babylonia at the south end of which, stood the city of Eridu, formerly on the Persian gulf; and near it a beautiful garden inhabited by the gods and containing the Tree of Life. This points to a district north of the Persian gulf, and agrees with the Biblical evidence.

Then and Now

In 1830 an employee of .the patent office, in Washington, resigned because he believed that all the inventing that could be done was then accomplished. Today there is a bill before congress to do away with many models so that room may be had for new models of recent and coming inventions. New England farmers once cut down several telegraph poles because they believed that no one could send words through a solid wire.

The Lazy Janitor

~ As a countryman on holiday in the city was walking past a high building he saw the following notice: “Please ring the bell for the janitor.” , . He rang the bell furiously, and the janitor, who lived at the top of the building, hurried down, and, out of breath, asked the man what he wanted.

The man pointed to the notice and said, “Why can’t you ring the bell yourself?”

Martyr to Duty

“What makes you look so fatigued?” was asked of an undersized Arkansas Cityan the other day. “Well, it’s like this,” he replied. “My. wife is walking to reduce, and the only time she can do it without attracting the at. tention of the meighbors is in’the evening. She then insists that I go along even if I am tired. The past two weeks I have lost eight pounds and she has galned two ounces.”—Arkangas City (Kan.) Traveler.

Sea Horror Captured ; After Long Struggle We reached the pools- at what we thought was dead low tide, writes William Becbe in the Mentor Magazine, and made the most of every moment. We had been working about q hour when I straightened up to ease an aching back. Almost at my side I saw what will be ever to me the most remarkable sight in the a.nimal; world. Frightened by our - long-con-tinued splashing and tramping, a big octopus had crept quietly out .of a. crevice just behind me and was makd ing his way as rapidly as possible over the seaweed shelf down to deep water. Nothing animate is comparable to this sight. The bulging mass of the head or body, or beth, the round staring eyes, as perfect and expressive ‘as those of a mammal, and the horrible absence of all other bodily parts which such an eved creature should have—nothing more but eight horrid cug-covered, snaky tentacles, reaching out in front, splaying sideways and pushing behind, while one or more always waved in the air in the direction of suspected danger, .as if in some sort of infernal adieu. This octopus was over two feet across, jet black when I first saw him, but turning to a mottled gray when we engaged in our struggle. When I headed him off he stood on defense and did not retreat. After much feinting and slipping and unpleasant pulling away from the myriad suckers, I got the beast into a snake bag and tled it firmly. ‘ : :

Name “Canada” Said to Be of Spanish Origin

‘There is -an interesting legend concerning the manner in which Canada got its name. Spanish adventurers were the first, so far as is known, to visit the American shores in search of booty. In the north they found the country disappointing. The soil was sterile and unyielding. The Spaniards were heard by the natives to make frequent use of the expression ‘“Aca, nada,” meaning “It is barren.” It was noted that after giving expression to théir dissatisfaction they invariably departed to another place! When the French explorers arrived on the scene, the inhabitants gathered on the shore and yelled “Aca nada,” hoping to drive them away. The French took this to be the .name of the country, and they called it Canada. .

The Spaniards also named Florida, meaning Land of Flowers, and Venezuela, so called because of its resemblance to Venice. - 3

The Obstinate Man

-An obstinate man does not hold opinions, but they hold him; for when he is once possessed with an error, it 1s like a devil, only cust out with great difficulty. He . delights most of all to differ in things different. He is resolved to understand no, man’s reason but his own, because he finds no man can understand his but himself. His opinions are like plants that grow upon rocks, that stick fast though they have no rooting. The more inconsistent his views are, the faster he holds them, otherwise they. would fall asunder of themselves, for. opinions that are false ought to be held with more strictness than those that are true, otherwise they will be apt to betray their owners before they, are aware.—Butler. e

Hardest-Worked Words

It is stated after a long series of observations and tests that omne-fourth of our daily task of talking is accomplished by the use of nine words, the longest of which has but four letters. These nine are: and, be, have, it, of, the, to, will, and you. It need hardly be said that these simple words are . all pure English. - . It is also asserted that these nine, together with 34 additional words; form -a full half of the words we use In conversation every day. The 34 additlonal Anglo-Saxon words alluded to are: about, all, as, at, but, can, come, day, dear, for, get, go, hear, her, if, in, me, much, not, en, one, say, she, 80, that, these, they, this, though, time, we, with, write, and your. >

Divisions of the Zodiac

The zodiac is an imaginary belt extending around the celestial sphere, within which lie the orbits of the sun, moon. and planets. It extends eight degrees on each side of A\the ecliptie,. or apparent path of the 'sun, and is divided into twelve equal parts, each one of which i 8 marked by a constellation. The names of these are as follows: Aries (the Ram), Taurus (the Bull), Gemini (the Twins), Cancer (the Crab). Leo (the Lion), Virgo (the Virgin), Libra (the Balance), Scorpio (the Scorpion), Sagittarius (the Archer), Capricornus (the Goat), Aquarius (the Water Bearer) and Pisces (the Fishes).—Kansas City Star. . !

Hard Road to Paradise

In the Mohammedan traditicn the Al Birat is an imaglnary bridge between this world and the next. It extends over the abyss of hell, and must be passed by all that would reach the Mohammedan paradise. It is very narrow, and has been likened by somgq writers to the thread 6f a famished spider, and by others to the edge of a razor blade. In crossing, one’s speed is proportioned to one’s virtue. Some pass with the rapidity of lightning; others more slowly; while the wicked, on account of the weight of their sins, are precipitated into the gulf below.—Kansas City Star.
