A Jasper County Jewel.

To Ihe Editor of The People’s Pilot: Rensselaer, Ind., Aug. 5. 1K95. : —Your last issue contained a clipping from the Remington Press whicn says the farmers’ wives of Cass and Miami counties have voted to abolish the “old fashioned threshing dinner.” They have each man eat his breakfast and supper at home. His dinner he can bring with him or do without. This, too, we suppose, is one of the changes the “new woman” is bringing about. What men are more deserving of good dinners than they who raise, harvest and thresh the grain that makes our bread? In the threshing season comes our .longest, hottest days; no work upon the farm is more rushing, harder or more disagreeable than threshing, and yet the good(?) housewives of Cass and Miami Would have ‘heir husbands, sons and neighbors work six hours at it and then have then like a hungry, stray hog with a stolen nubbin hump up* in the fence corner over a little tin pail of cold hash. Who are these threshers that they are so greatly dreaded? In this county they are our own people, our own neighborsand relatives, and 1 think I voice the sentiment of the farmers’ wives of this section when I say that no dinner is more freely given by them than the “old fashioned threshing dinner.” While the threshing is progressingin Cass and Miami are the housewives then astride their wheels visiting distant towns —gadding and gossiping about the country? In fact, what great work are they really engaged in that they cannot get a little dinner one day for a few 7 tired, hungry men? When women get too nice or too lazy to give threshers one or two meals a year we think they had best leave the farm. Our mothers used to cook these tn reshing dinners in little, close kitchens over hot stoves, set their tables in close, hampered rooms and made.no complaints about it. Now’ our buildings are spacious; the hot stove is supplanted by the gasoline: a thousand and one little conveniences we have that our mothers knew not of. Yet we w’ill send the threshers to the grubs and fence corners to eat their dinners. The threshing dinner is not abolished in Jasper. We are willing to do our part in trying to help along with this, the hardest and most disagree-able-work our husbands, fathers, brothers, sons and neighbor men have to do on the farm.

A FARNER'S WIFE.

A Grand Sight.

One of the greatest spectacular performances at the Cotton States and International exposition thi§ fall will be the reproduction in fire-wdrks of the storming of Wei-hai-wei. in the recent war between China and Japan. The performance will begin with the first night of the exposition and continue every night for nearly a month. Immence scaffoldings will be erected on the north end of the lake, on whidh will be stretched the painted scenery of the company. The position is one that may be plainly seen from almost any part of the grounds. Hundreds of real Chinese and Japanese will be in the production, and the sight will be extremely realistic. The attack of the Japs will be made from the lake in ships modelled after the Ja panese war vessels. The storm

ing parties will land in the face of a terrific cannonade and the city of Wei-hai-wei will be taken by storm. Over a thousana dollars’ worth of fireworks will be burned at every performance. It is probably the grandest and most realistic scenic production of the age, and will be one of the greatest attractions in the spectacular way at the exposition.

Blacksmith Wanted.

A first class, sober mechanic wanted by G. P, Kahler, near depot, Rensselaer, Ind.

A Baby Breaks an Arm.

The infant daughter of Reed Banta of Marlborough fell and broke her right arm near the elbow at the residence of the late Frederick Zard, while with the family at the funeral last Monday. The injury is quite serious, being so close to the joint, and difficult to set. The little one experienced a dislocation of the righl hip last spring, so that she is apparently receiving a full share of the misfortunes of infancy. The bicycle excursion spoken of last week promises to be a much grander success than at first anticipated. As many as thirty parties have signified their intention of going. The expense for railroad and boat fare to Milwaukee and return will not exceed $3.90, with a prospect of $3.20 for a large party.
