An exchange says there are things a level headed man should never do. Among these is to walk on a railroad track, to attempt to get on a moving train, to point a gun or a pistol at another, to put his name on another man’s note, to keep his savings in an old sock under his bed, to run for office when he has a paying institution in private life, or call a bigger man than than himself a liar. An exchange tells of a girl who recently found a lot of love letters written by her father to her mother many years before they were married. The daughter read them to her mother, pretending they were of recent date, and substituted her own name for that of her mother and the name of a young man well known to both of them for her father’s. The mother was much disgusted and has forbidden her to have anything to do with a young man that will write such * nonsense and sickening stuff.” They have evidently adopted * .the policy, “let no guilty man * scape. p out in Kansas. The other day an unknown man was found dead in the outskictff'of Topeka. A search disclosed * lot) in money and a revolver on the person of the deceased. Au inquest was held and $75 of the money was appropriated for coroner’s and burial expenses, after which the police judge lined the corpse 125 for carrying concealed weapons, and confiscated the revolver.

The publishing of long lists of wedding presents is consitered by most people in questionable taste, but the following quoted irom an exchange, is unique in its kiud: From the parents of bride, one Jersey calf; from bride to the groom six white shirts from Brother Elias, one book of poems, one dream-book, and oolite letter writer and a dog: from Aunt Harriet, six hens and a rooster, also a jar of tomato catsup; from cousin Sarah, one • ioem, made up by herself on the -ride and groom, fifteen verses in all.—Ex. The person who furnishes items for a newspaper is always a valuable friend to the editor. Many persons hesitate about sending items to a newspaper regarding the movements of friends, lest the editor should think thorn anxious to see their names in print. He will think nothing of the kind, but on the contrary he is always glad to get such items. Many seemingly unimportant notes when printed are news to a large number of readers.

A minister in Crown Point was recently addressing a crowded audience, and said: “I want everyone in this congregation who wants to go to heaven to stand up.” Of course nearly everyone arose. Then he said: “Now I want everyone who wants to go to the other place to stand up.” At first no one stood up, but finally a long, lank, skinny, individual, in the back seat, about as fat as an umbrella, arose and said: “I don’t want to go to the other place, but am willing to stand up rather than let the preacher stand up alone.” In a letter to the Chicago Record, a native of this state, signing himself simply as “Posey County, Indiana,” beats the Record’s bed-rock prices of 90 cents a day to the World’s Fair. Here are his figures: Street car fare, 10 cents: admission 50 cents; milk at. milk exhibit, free; fresh rolls at yeast exhibit, free; buttered cakes at butter exhibit, free. It will be seen that “Posey County” spent an entire day at the fair and was out only 00 cents. Here is a pointer for those desiring to go on the cheaps to Chicago.

The editor of ?ln\exchange very sensibly remarksXHiat a man who stops his paneK. because there is someth in it he doesn’t li.e, stiouul, to be consistent, g *t up and leave the hotel table if he hap{»eus to find something on the bill of fare that did not jqst suit his taste. It would be just as consistent in one act as in the other. A good newspaper is a bill of fare of meutai loud for as many tastes rts possible, and the reader ought to know that the article which does not suit him is, perhapsJ

just to the taste of nearly every other reader of the paper. The man who insists having a paper to his individual taste should buy the material ant edit one for himself, and ask m> one else to read it

The largest amouot of business probably ever done in three months time is Jasper county is shown by the recorder’s report just made to the commissioners. The receipts of the office were $720.85, of which amount Mr. Hunt receives $225 and the county 1493.85. Mr. Hunt, out of his salary, paid nearly SIOO deputy hire and also worked a great deal at night. He thinks he has a snap and cheerfully pays over the greater portion of his receipts each quarter! The quarterly report just made shows among other items 298 warranty deeds recorded, real estate mortgages 156, school fund mortgages 6. chattel mortgages 88, releases 114.

C. P. Sales has disappeared from his home in Union township and left not a, word as to his destination. Two weeks ago Sales carried off a spring wagon seat from Dexter & Cox's feed store and took it home in his wagon. Mr. Dexter suspected Sales, and when he drove in the next morning with a load of wood he was accused of the theft and at once admitted it, claiming that he was drunk at the time. He said he would bring the seat back and begged not to be exposed. He was informed he need have no fear if he returned it, but the pay for the load of wood was held as security. The next day Sales disappeared. Worry and fear of the law is supposed to be the cause. His wife and family are left in poor circumstances. He lived on Squire Churchill’s farm. Jasper county’s disgrace, 0. P. Tabor, was boasting in the post office Tuesday that the board of commissioners had in one instance, at least, “knocked out” the Pilot by forcing the saloon keepers for self protection not to advertise in the Pilot. “There were seven applicants for license this time,” said Tabor, and every one of them received License, and not one of them advertised in the Pilot.” Being reminded by a bystander that he was liable to be “skinned” before the Pilot was through with him, Tabor let out a little information which was new to the Pilot. He has our thanks for the informatioto. He said, “1 was able to ‘knock out’ the Pilot in my own town recently, where they had bid on a piece of job work. Their bid was lowest, but I saw that another office got the work.” As the only job of work the Pilot has bid on in Remington lately was the fair catalogue, this must have been the work he referred to. We were requested by the secretary of the fair to put in a bid for the work which we did in good faith. Nothing was heard of the bid until Tabor was indiscreet enought to give the matter away. As Tabor if running the Remington fair association we presume the attendance of the friends of the. Pilot is not desired, and they should be conspicuous by their absence. The Pilot will publish the proceedings of the meeting of the association at which the contract was let if some member will send in a report.
