SAND HILL TURNED INTO REAL MONEY

bring him out of It. I hope so. Tell him all the good news you can. That’s the kind of tonic he needs.” That afternoon Don drove to Welden for the weekly supply of groceries. Welden was a town built around the marble quarries. Indeed, It seemed that the people there could see or talk about nothing but marble. It was piled up on all sides of them — tons of It —In an Inconceivable variety of shapes and sizes. Nevertheless. Don made his way to the store without once giving a thought ,to the marble industry. As he set out to return home, the horse began to dance at sight of the tramway, with the moving chain of buckets.

'Tve lived on this farm the biggest part of my life,” grumbled Mr. Whitcomb, "and what have I got to show for It? It’s growing worse every year. If anything. I thought ’twould be different after you went to the farming college, but what you got out of books don’t seem to help it any.” "Blame the farm, father, don’t blame the books. This soil is hardly good enough for pasturage. That sand hill lot Is worse than nothing. You can’t expect science to do It all — there must be something to start with.”

“I’m ashamed of you, Gyp,” he mumbled. “Think how many times you’ve seen this thing. Strange how they never get used to it,” he said to a man beside the road. “It won’t scare horses a great while longer. That’s one sure thing." “Why?" “Because there won’t be anything to run it for. This can't hold out more than two years, at the most. It’s getting poor now.”

Little Now Left of Remarkable Wine Put Away by City of Bremen I In 16&4.

J- M. Hawthorne went to Dayton Saturday to see his brother-in-law, John Carpenter, who fell from a scaffold at his home and mashed his hip. G. B. Hawthorne and wife were in Indianapolis Monday.

“That’s what I should like to know,” returned the man. “It’s hard stuff to pick up when you want It.” “Hard stuff to find. Is it?” mused Don as he drove away. “Well, there’s plenty of it up our way—too much of It The whole thing is for sale, too,” he exclaimed, glancing up the hill in the direction of the Whitcomb farm. Late that night Mrs. Whitcomb went upstairs to see if her son had fallen asleep and had left his lamp burning. She found him sitting at a table, bendtag over a maze of figures. “What are you doing up so late?” she asked.

“But other farms have been brought back into shape again. They

It is stated that Pierpont Morgan was unable recently to procure a bottle of the most ancient wine in Germany, although he offered a large sum for it. The wine is the famous Rosenwcin (rose wine) and is stored in the rathskeller of the City hall of Bremen.

Bay there’s a way to make ’em over when they’re all run down,” persisted Mr. Whitcomb.

Albert Luse Alleged to Have Violated Election Law at Local Polls.

"To make them over, yes, but not to make them. This place Isn’t run down—thero never was anything here to run down. It was worthless In the beginning.” "Then you think I’d ought to sell It and buy another?” "You couldn’t do It. What you could get for it wouldn’t buy another —one that you want. I mean. Good farms are high these days.” Mr. Whitcomb could thing of nothing to say In reply, so he pulled the barn door together and walked off toward the house. There was an almost pitiful stoop to his shoulders, a stoop which told of years of fighting with the rocks and sand. He paused In the middle of the yard to ask another question. “When are you going away?” he called out

The S. S. convention at onr church Sunday p. m. was a success and all enjoyed a pleasant time. Burrell Mitchell came from Michigan to assist Mrs. Lola Greenburg during corn husking.

In 1624 the city of Bremen bought and put away a barrel of Eosonwein which was even then considered the noblest and finest of all Rhine wines. The barrel cost $50. What the wine is worth now, reckoning the cost at compound interest for three centuries, has been made the subject of various fantastic calculations.

Albert E. Luse, alleged to be a resident of Union township, was arrested at the New Richmond polls Tuesday at about noon on the charge of illegal voting, and was taken at once to Crawfordsville by Marshal John Work. According to John W. Smith, democratic poll clerk, Mr. Luse had moved from this township and precinct two mouths ago and took up his residence in Union township. After an investigation, Prosecutor Clouser ordered that Mr. Luse be released on $250 bond which was furnished by R. H. Williams.

"I'm trying to find a way to build up the farm,” came the evasive reply. "You’ll never do It by breaking into the night, this way,” she murmured. “It Is rather late. Isn’t It?” he said smilingly. “I guess I’ll go to bed.” A whispered goodnight floated back to him from the hallway. He turned the lamp lower and sat down at the table again. His bed was unoccupied that night.

It is only upon rare occasions that the officials of Bremen permit the drawing of what is considered the city’s greatest treasure. About fifty bottles of the wine is left in the barrel and even that is no longer absolutely the original 1624 wine, for whenever any of the wine is drawn it is replaced from one of the “twelve apostles”—the twelve barrels in the rathskeller, which contain the next oldest wine in Germany.

Daybreak found him ready for a second trip to Welden. In order to gain added information, he visited the shops and mills during the early part of the day. Then there were more figures and a final survey of the facts at his command. The afternoon was nearly half gone when he entered the president’s office. "I called to see you about your sand supply,” he said, as Mr. Gordon turned in his chair. “What’s the matter with it?” The president thought there must be something wTong with the tramway. "It’s running out. Isn’t it? What you have in sight will soon be exhausted. I have two or three million tons of It for sale, If you would care to consider the matter.”

"In about a month,” replied the younger man.

There had been a position waiting for Don Whitcomb at the end of his course in college. It was a good position, too, and he felt confident there

Round Hill.

The Ladies Aid Society and the “Anti-Can't Club’’ of the Round Hill M. E. church, will give a play next Saturday evening, November 9, in the church. The name of it is "The Busy Aid Society.” This is a very comical and musical play.

Mr. Luse is said to have registered here in September and was under the impression that he could vote here in spite of the fact that he had moved from the precinct. A rumor was current here yesterday to the effect that he had maintained a home for himself in this precinct to protect his right to vote, though his family had moved to Crawfortlsville, and that on the advice of his attorney his precautions were sufficient and ho had a right to vote here.

The last considerable withdrawal from the barrel was in August, 1824, when twelve bottles of the precious fluid were sent to Goethe, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday.

Mob of Masked Men Dressed as Women Take the Prisoner From an Officer.

“Where Is it?” asked Mr. Gordon. "Up on our farm.” “You mean that sand hill? Will you deliver it?”

Beaver, Pa. —Thirty-five men dressed as women and wearing masks, took J. A. Bowman of Bridgewater, a wife beater, from Officer Daniel Baker, the other night, as they were leaving the office of Justice of the Peace Fred Retzer in Bridgewater, and after Being the officer to the fence, they conducted Bowman to the ball grounds where he was partially stripped, and a tough piece of rubber hose was laid on his naked flesh until he howled for mercy. Bowman was then escorted home with the admonition that the next whipping would be a "finishing” job.

“No, but you could extend the tramway. It’s in almost a direct line up over the hill. Our thirty-acre lot would keep you supplied for 15 years at least—probably longer.” “And how about the price?” “Two hundred dollars an acre.”

Luse’s case was the only alleged violation of the election law to be reported Tuesday.

“Six thousand dollars!” ejaculated the president. “I shouldn’t consider your whole farm to be worth more than half that amount.”

AFTER LONG YEARS!

(Too Late for Last Week.)

Alore pleasant weather. Some of our farmers have began to harvest their corn crop.

"Perhaps not as a farm, but how about the value of the sand? Wouldn’t you be getting It at a pretty low price?”

At Einsiedeln, in the canton of Schwytz—the Swiss Lourdes—a remarkable marriage took place in the principal chtfrch. In 1870 a wealthy Swiss couple living in the neighborhood became engaged, but, on the breaking out of war between France and Germany, the fiance left Switzerland to serve under the French flag. The couple then drifted apart for the ensuing 43 years, and, strangely enough, each married three times during this period, the husband losing three wives by death and the wife three husbands.

A. C. McCorkle nnd wife of LaFayette are guests of their son Charles McCorkle and family. Mr. and Mrs. Judd Meharry, Mrs. Arthur Evans and Misses Annuie Meharry and Okah DeVora saw Freckles at Music Hall in Crawfordsville Monday night.

"There may be something in the scheme,” continued the president, apparently unaware that anyone had been speaking, “I am not prepared to say at present. I should want to have our engineers look into It. Perhaps you may hear from me later.” The days traveled by without bringing any word. The engineers had come and gone, leaving nothing to sustain the hope which their arrival had enkindled. There was only silence and uncertainty.

Bowman, who is a notorious character in Bridgewater, had been arrested on the charge of his wife that he had beaten her. He was taken before Squire Retzer, who after hearing the case, told Officer Baker to take Bowman to his home, and if his wife said it was all right for him to stay there. It would be satisfactory. If she refused to allow her husband to remain, then Officer Baker was to place him in jail. Immediately after Baker and Bowman stepped outside, the officer was seized by 35 men who were dressed in women’s clothing and wearing masks, and tied to a fence on the spot, and then the crowd roughly pushed Bowman ahead to the ball grounds, where the "rubber snake” was laid on.

"Good Farms Are High These Days.”

were better things ahead of him. The old people had never taken very kindly to his Ideas concerning scientific farming. It was only after long-con-tinued argument that they ceased to oppose his plans. Even then they could lend him no aid. The family pocketbook was hardly able to supply the necessities; there was no provision for the cause of education. Consequently, the success which came as a result of his four years’ work gave him the right to believe that he had chosen wisely. "I suppose father thinks I ought to. stay here,” he mused, "but It’s asking too much of a fellow. The only thing I can do Is to save up money and send it home.”

On the eighth morning, however, the tension was relieved by a call at the door, and a thin, impressive-looking envelope was ushered In. Don scanned the contents excitedly. Then, thrusting It Into his pocket, he swung open the door of his father’s room.

SOME DIFFERENCE.

Mr. Croker-King, the well-known

actor, tells of an amusing incident of a theatrical tour. A certain town was “billed” for two great rival productions. On the arrival of the train which brought both, companies a certain man, bound on business, approached one of the company as he stepped out of a first-class compartment, and, politely raising his hat, said, in all sincerity: “Bey pardon, sir, but are you ‘The Darling of the Gods,’ or The Greatest Scoundrel Living?’”

“Do you want to sell the thirtyacre lot?” he said.

When asked If an investigation into the whipping was to be made, a police official said: “Better let well enough alone.”

“The sand hill?” There was skepticism in the voice. “Who’d ever want to buy that?”

Mr. Whitcomb was unusually silent at the supper table that evening. Don noticed something in his face that he had never seen before. It was the expression a man wears when he is about to give up the fight. His eye was listless, his head bowed, in short, his whole attitude suggested defeat. The following morning Mrs. Whitcomb appeared in Don’s room at an early hour.

Slipping up behind him, Don held the open letter where the old man could read it. As the import of the message became clear, the bent shoulders seemed to straighten and regain a portion of their lost strength.

A week passed—two weeks —the third one began to unfold Itself drearily. It found Mr. Whitcomb still in bed.

“I found out they were getting short and went to sec them about it. They did the rest,” replied Don.

“I was wrong about the farming college,” Mr. Whitcomb went on. "This shows how good an investment it was. I never should have thought of this thing, and if I had, I couldn’t follow It up as you’ve done."
