Quite a number who had been assigned work on the program cheerfully gave way to the guests present, preferring to hear rather than be heard.

In these United States of America at least, and it is highly probable that throughout the entire world, the ollicial record for the safety and welfare of its passengers made and maintained by the Chicago A: Alton railroad cannot be surpassed if indeed it can be equaled Over its completely rock-ballasted, dustless roadway between Chicago and Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis, Chicago and Peoria, eighteen magnificently appointed express trains are run on uniformly fast time every day. lint in spite of this passenger try flic the ollicial records show that from December 4, 187., to December 1, 181), eleven years, there was no passenger who was in place as a passenger, killed on Chicago & Alton trains. Moreover there was not a passenger seriously in-jii'-ed to the exti nt of losing a limb, an cc or v. ..it.in.ti of any kind during that time. During the entire period of the World's Columbian Imposition in Chicago, when it was not an uncommon thing to lind the usual passenger traffic of the road increased two, three and four-fold, and special excursion trains and extra sections of regular trains were very many, there was not an accident of any kind a most remarkable record. Uesides being America'a most popular railroad, the Chicago & Alton is the Pioneer Dining Car Line, the Pionter Pullman Sleeping Car Line and Pioneer Palace lteclining Chair Car Line, and the best line from Chicago to Peoria, Illinois, and Hot Springs, A ikansis. De sur that your ticket reads over the Chidago & Alton railroad, when its matchless and direct lines can form the whole, or even a part of your journey.

Mr. Brew, of the Lapaz House leports an unusual large list of traveling men for the last two weeks. Where there is business there you will lind the drummers attracted. The Sunday school convention was a success both in attendance and good work. Visitors were: John Welch and Bev. Dore, Shiloh; Bev. Joe Ilostetler, North Liberty; Bev. I. N. Miller, South Bend; Mrs. Humes and Mrs. Guyer, Plymouth. The oratorical contest Thursday night was not a success from a financial standpoint, but otherwise it would be hard to surpass. After paying all expenses, all that was left was a Canada half dime which was found on the stage the following day and now that has been claimed. Notwithstanding the small audience the speakers entered the contest in a spirited manner. Bev. Peter, the president, spoke a few words on the growth and purposes of the club. The speakers were Dr. Hamilton, Nettie Waltz, N. Nye, C. Waltz, Dr. Iloltz endorlf; Mary Schaler, Maud Goodwin and Mate Conter.

Mrs. Sultenright at the organ and" and Georgie Limeback, Jennie Anes, Mr. Hostetier and Mr. Bcvn'Uh a? a quartet, rendered a good musical pro gramme. K iiMlm-K. is a word easily snoken. lhis is a word easily spoken. Yet how few stop for even a moment to consider its import, much less the carrying out of all that the brief expression implies. Kindness has done more for the human heart than money could possibly do. It makes the old voting in heart' to be met upon all sides with Kindness; it makes the care-worn and weary mother, father, sister or brother stronger in contending with the myriad of almost insurmountable obstacles in life's path. It makes home the most sacred and loved spot on earth. It is the human sunlight of otur existence, and will make all human nature bow at its shrine. There is no virtue m our nature to be more admired or cultivated than that of kindness. The very dogs upon the street will reciprocate a kindness at the hands of even a stranger. Don't be afraid of spoiling anyone with kindness properly bestowed. It can't be done. Instead of spoiling, it beautifies the character, cheers the heart and helps to lift the burden from the shoulders which though brave, sometimes grow weary. Kindness rendered many times gives more pleasure than when received. Fx. To On ners r WIh. When the bad weather comes and you can no longer ride your wheel, take it to Underwood & Walls, Center St., and have it cleaned, oiled and stoivd for the winter. Prices reasonable. Pneumonia. Mrs. A.

The recent snow has caused the hunters to replenish their supplv of amunitioii and clean up their muskets and take a tramp out over the country in quest of game and return in the evening almost invaribly with at least one rabbit, which on u count of deep snow had been unable to get away. Having seen an announcement in the Plymouth papers oi the marriage license of Miss Phebe Joslin, of Lapaz, who is well known at this place having attended high school here last winter, everybody naturally supposed her married. It now appears that Miss Joslin tried to play a cijantic joke on the unfortunate man and when he appeared with the necessary papers he was told the truth, and is yet a single man. We don't wish any one any bad luck, but have heard of people being dealt with as they deal.

The latest reports have is that she is somewhat better but no hopes are entertained as to her entire recovery. On Friday evening Mrs. J. B. Deitrich and Miss Fmma Neff, one of the teachers in the public school at this place left for Canton, Ohio, to attend the funeral of their sister, Miss Callie Neff, who died at that place on Friday morning. Miss Callie Neff was a promising young lady and was well known in Bremen as she was three years ago teaching in the Bremen schools when she was taken sick and obliged to give up her school, from which time she never regained her health and it finally developed into consumption and caused her death. She had many friends at this place, who mourn her early departure from this life. TWIN LAKES. November 2S, Autlmr IS. White returned from Illinois Tuesday night.

Mr. Myers was an old resident of this county and a lew years ago moved to the city, but still kept his farm, on which place his son now lives, about live miles north of this city, lie was a member of the (Jrand Army Post of this city and was a remarkably fine old gentleman. lie was 72 years old, yet was able to be about his duties. It is not definitely known w lien the funeral services will occur, on account of a daughter who lives in New Jersey. Word could not bo sent to her on account of the telegraph lines beingout of order.

He had just j returned, he said, from a trip to San j Francisco, and in the two years of his j absence from home had traveled all j througi the south and nest. He start- ; ed out with a burning desire to camp ' and herd cattle on the plains, and continued roving merely for the variety and excitement It afforded. Because of his extreme youth it was easier for him to beat his way than It would have been for an older person. He refused a pass home, and continued on his way aL An Autumn Sngg-eatlon.

"Good-bye" is "God be with you'" "Adieu" and "adios" are "I commend you to God." A neighbor is merely a "nigh boor." or the nearest farmer. "Boor" is in this sense not an epithet, but the equivalent of "Bauer" in German, or "Boor" in Dutch. The Bowery boys, themselves dwellers on a street named for a farm or "bouwerie," use "farmer" as an epithet. Both "villa" and "town" were formerly used to mean a farm. Gradually the former came to mean a country residence, the latter a collection of houses. 'Teck" was at first merely a basket of any size. "Furlong" was a furrow long. "Rivals" were those who dwelt on the same brook and were apt to quarrel about the water. Try These Tongae-TwUtors.
