Accidents at times happens under very peculiar circumstances, with results, not in conformity with the surroundings. We note two instances in exchanges, which bear out the above assertion. On one occassion, a daughter of a prominent farmer, about four years of age, fell out of an upstairs window, lighting upon her head, and aside from the shock, received no serious injury. Another case, is where a little girl about the same age, while playing on a porch, fell to the ground, a distance of thirteen inches, resulting in her neck being broken. The man who is always ready to laugh is a valuable adjunct to the society of any town. It makes no difference if he laughs at things which are in appro

priate or even ridiculous to laugh at, he is always a welcome guest at the lireside, at the party, at the wedding and perhaps at times at a funeral. Good fellowship is contagious and laughter is inspiring. It is better to laugh at a man's follies and sometimes at his misfortunes than to mock at them or lind fault with them. The man who laughs at everything is frequently invincible in argument becauso no argument will answer a joke. Ho will always find hearers for his fun, while most men will turn a deaf ear to your arguments. While it may be impossible to laugh

truth into a lie the lie told in fun even always has the first heat. Men's Harvest Gloves 23 cents at Ball & Carabin's. The Kewana Herald came out this week in Fourth of July colors. Mrs. A.

You can alway safely bet dollars to doughnuts that when any man plays any kind of game with the Devil, his Satanic Nibs always plays for keeps. While our city did not celebrate, it was a not icable feature that our citizens, when the cooling shades of evening grew apace, came out and enjoyed the llreworks of children. Clint Bondurant and J. A. Garr, have located a bicycle repair, and sundry shop, at Bremen. Mr. Garr has had a great deal of experience in repairing and is an expert. The Ixii:im-:xiu-:xt wishes the boys success. "Alert' bicycles are made and sold by Underwood & Walls, Center street, near Ft. Wayne tracks. Call and see them before buying your mount for lV.'ö. The celebrated "Spaulding" wheel and other makes, also sundries of all kinds on hand. Some people are never satislied with the way in whith things come to them. There is Michigan, for instance. The frost and drouth killed the strawberry crop, and the peach crop is so abundant that they cannot realize anything from it. When you see a girl pasting a scrap book full of cooking recipes out of the weekly papers, you know pretty well that some young man is in a position to be congratulated; and yet, when you think of the recipes, you feel rather sorry for him, too. Elizabeth C. Stanton says that "women are riding to suffrage on the bicycle," and a Denver preacher says that 10,000 people are riding to hell on the same vehicle. All the comment, that we have to make is this. Remember the rule, and always turn to the right. An exchange says: Five cents worth of oil of lavender mixed with an equal portion of water, put in a glass atomizer will, if thoroughly sprayed around the room, rid the house of Hies. The odor of lavender is especially disagreeable to flies, and they will never venture in its neighborhood, though to most people it has a peculiar fresh and pleasant smell. With pad and pencil in hand we started out on the morning of the Fourth to enumerate the hosts of our citizens who went abroad to celebrate. When we arrived at the Yandalia depot to commence the task we came to the conclusion that we had a bigger task then we were equal too. AVe learned that at this depot alone 2'JO tickets were sold for South Bend, 220 forMarmont, and something like 30 tickets to othea points. These were outside of the numerous tickets purchased for Marmont on the evening train. Dr. C. A. Brown returned from his trip south Thursday evening. The doctor was a delegate to the National Epworth League convention at Chatanooga, Tenn. The doctor was enthusiastic over his trip and although pretty tired, took time to give us a glowing account of the reception that the 15,000 visitors received. His side trip, especially his visit at the Mamouth Cave' Ky., made a deep impression upon him, and, notwithstanding the glowing accounts he had fortified himself

with before visiting that noted spot, the sights to be seen were not to be compared with the description given by noted writers. Booth, on tho occasion of his broth er's benefit he was standing behind thel scenes when a character aclor,who had been giving imitation of noted actors' was about to respond to an enoore. "Whom do you imitate next V inquired Booth. "Well, " was tho reply, "1 was going to represent you in Hamlet's soliloquy, but if you look on I'm afraid I shall make a mess of it." "Suppose I imitate myself V" remarked the tragedian, and hastily putting on tho other actor's wig and buttoning up his coat ho went on and delivered tho well known lines. Next morning the newspaper stated that the imitation ruined the performance, "the personation of Edwin Booth being simply vile enough
