ment in Dun's Index that the average

cost of food necessaries is higher now

than it was in the halcvon days of

Cleveland's presidency and of course

the increase is charged to trusts and

protection. Let us see. A large portion of the list. used by the Index is made up of vegetables, meats, br ad-

stuffs and other products of the farm,

all of which, are uniformly higher In

A DANGEROUS RULE. A member of the flint glass workers'

union at Muncie, Ind., was convicted by his fellow-workmen of turning out more fruit glass jars than the regulations of the union permit the other day, and a delegation waited upon the employers and asked for the dis

charge of the offender. The demand

was not complied with, whereupon

thirty men dropped their tools and walked out. They were later sent back to work by the officers of the

union, pending a settlement of the

matter with the company. The men

are paid by the piece for this work,

and the only sufferer from the union rule is the man with natural deftness and vigor who wishes to "get on" by turning his quickness into money. The rule, if generally enforced, cannot fail to keep the workman down on

the dull level of mediocrity. Enforced

all through a nation, as it seems to be

in England, the result is to give competing nations a decided advantage in the race for the trade of the world. America's rapid advance in recent

years has been due to the sobriety and

the vigor of the American workman

trouble at Muncie is a subtle attack upon the American workman's advantage. Should it become generally adopted his natural productiveness, due to vigor, good health and enter

"Where a few farmer boys succeed in their ambitions thousands fail, utterly and miserably, in realizing their dreams of city life. Passing by the public and moral questions involved in the subject, the matter of personal advantage alone is on the side of the farm. Any wideawake, intelligent young farmer who keeps pace with progress in agricultural methods can make more money and do it easier, can have a happie home and keep it safer, and can get more contort and real happiness out of life and retire from active labor earlier than can the average young man who is drawn by pavements, streetcars and show windows to seek his fortune in the city.

Under these circumstances Hill, in the speech referred to and with direct reference to Cleveland's slow recognition of the heelers and bosses, exclaimed "I am a democrat, "with emphasis on the "I," and he meant and was understood to mean that he was not the Cleveland kind of a democrat, but the kind the "boys" wanted, one who would turn them loose at the pie counter and make the clean sweep that W2s demanded. Naturally enough the "boys" were greatly pleased with Ifl.ll, for he showed that he understood them and was the kind of a democrat they wanted to drill under. When Cleveland said he was a democrat he was referring to the -principles of the. party c.rid of course the declaration attracted no attention. The difference between a demcrat for pie and a democrat for principle was seen in the Chicago conven-, tion of 18(6, when a resolution endorsing the Cleveland administration was greeted with a yell of derision and voted down by a lare majority.

There is plenty of room and abundant opportunity in this country for the starving working people of Germany, but there is no longer a place here for the free soup houses at which they are now being fed. "We had our experience with free soup houses during the panic of 1893 to 1896. and want no more of them. But freedom since then from tariff and financial agitation has reversed conditions. American wage earners are now feeding themselves on the fat of the land. "We are not importing the products of cheap German labor, nor ha re we need for them. Perhaps that is the reason why German working people

Former Senator Kopelke, of Crown Point, speaking the other day of a recent newspaper experience of his own, said: Five friends and myself decided we needed a democratic paper and so we started one at Hammond. My share of the cost of putting the paper on Its fedt was about $900. Well, we started the sheet and called in a man to run it for us, and supposed all would be well. Somehow the paper didn't prove the success we anticipated, and after we had run it a short time we were glad to retire from the newspaper field without any greater loss. All I got out of it was two mileage books to replace my $900. Such experiences are not rare. Several Plymouth gentlemen could unfold a distressing tale of similar import, with the additional circumstance that they did not find it as easy to "retire from the newspaper field" as the Crown Point gentleman seems to have done. The idea that a newspaper can be established simply by putting in a press, a few quires cf paper aud a little type and calling in "a man to run it," leaving it thereafter to take care of itself, is a very prevalent delusion, one that can only be removed, it seems, in any particular case, by the exchange of a -wad of money for a mileage book and some experi-

Last Days of a Pioneer Character in

This Section of Indiana. The following gossipy comment by Major Bitters in the Rochester Republican on some remarks by Gen. Reub Williams in the Warsaw Times will be read with interest in Plymouth, where the character described was well known: Gen. Reub Williams, the editor of the Warsaw Daily Times and Weekly Indianian, is writing a series of re-

miniscences of Warsaw and Kosciusko county and devotes one chapter to Rev. Augustus Littlejohn, who was a prominent character in northern Indiana from a quarter to a half century ago. He was a temperance fanatic but he was constantly engaged from place to place in preaching temperance and in the main he accomplished much good. Notwithstanding the old man had wheels in his head that sometimes wobbled to a degree cf lunacy, he frequently said some very good and true things and the masses were always pleased to hear him. His last visit to Rochester was in the fall of 1884 and lie was a physical wreck. Newton Rannels, a man who was always good to the poor, gave him food and lodging without charge, and being thinly clad the poor old man almost constantly shivered with cold. In addition to all this he had become remarkably feeble and needed stimulants every day to prevent a separation of soul and body, and notwithstanding he had preached "Christ and him crucified" and the "pure gospel of temperance" for a life time he found it necessary to partake of that which "biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder," and In order to secure the necessary stimulants he would occasionally go into the saloons and beg for a glass of wine or whisky. The writer, of this had not the honor of a personal acquaintance with the noted evangelist and we followed him into a saloon kept by Joseph Earlich in the building now occupied by Kistler's grocery aud meat market. We found him at the bar pleading for a glass of wine, but the saloon man, supposing him to be a common tramp, was deaf to his appeals. After giving the poor old fellow a critical observation, and realizing his condition we laid down a dime and directed Mr. Earlich to give him a glass of wine. He poured out a tumbler of Catawba and drank it down at one gulp, and thanking us very kindly for the favor he departed on foot in the direction of Logansport. A year or two later he attempted suicide at Michigan City and finally succeeded in "shuffling off."

PROFIT IN HOGS

Experience of a Missouri Farmer in Lifting Mortgages.

The hog has been very properly called "the mortgage lifter." I have been raising and feeding hogs for market from my boyhood, with some degree of success. I commenced on a farm with a mortgage on it foj $1500. I had other stock, but paid close attention to my hogs, believing by so doing I would sooner have a clear title to my farm. My object was soon accomplished. Then I bought a more valuable farm and mortgaged it for $300. I stuck close to my friend, "the mortgage lifter, " and in a comparatively short time, I cleared the record, and have come to the relief of some that were not on such intimate terms with my old friend as I have been. To begin with, it is important to have large, hardy, prolific sows and enough of them to raise at one litter a car load when ready for market. I find the Duroc-Jersey to fill the bill exactly; but let every one have the breed that will raise the most pigs of the heaviest weight, in the shortest time. Breed for early spring pigs, and all within ten days or two weeks if possible to a thrifty, well-developed boar (but never more than two a day to one boar), so as to have the pigs strong, hearty and near the same age. As to crossing with another, I will not speak; but It is important to have them all the same color as well as the same age and style, so they will be attractive to the buyer, and by so doing you will get 20 to 25 cents per 100 pounds more than if they lack uniformity. Have each sow named or numbered, and record the date they are bred and be prepared to care for each sow and pigs to themselves before she is due to farrow, fcr a little carelessness or neglect on your part at this time will cause you to lose more than you make on what happen to get through all right. The sows should be in good order, but not fat. Feed moderately until after the pigs come and then increase the feed grad

ually until they are a week old, when the sows should be on full feed. It is important to give the sow some slop before she farrows to insure a good flow of milk. I have known pigs to

get poor, and if the weather was cold

chill to death because the sow hadn't

sufficient milk, while if she had been properly fed for a week before they

would have been all right. Feed the

sow liberally on good slop and corn and

let her have access to the best pasture possible, for a litter of eight or ten and sometimes eleven and twelve hearty pigs makes a great demand on the sow. For early spring pigs a gocd growth of rve or wheat is excellent. When the pigs are 3 or 4 weeks old they will begin to eat corn and should have It shelled for them. Have shallowtroughs and encourage th m to drink slop as soon as they will. Feed the pigs well all the time, but during hot weather I think best not to feed too much corn. Feed near the water and shade when the weather is warm, but for the benefit of the coming corn or other crop, feed on a clover field, where you can utilize the manure, which is the richest of any made on the farm. If pigs weigh 100 pounds or more when you begin to fatten them, I think sixty days' fall feed on corn on a good clover pasture will give a greater gain to the amount of coin fed than if fed longer. S. Y. Thornton, before Missouri Swine Breeders' Association. ) Disgusted With Fairbanks' Drink. One of the campaign stories that floated through the cloakroom yesterday related to Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, and Governor Shaw, of Iowa. According to the story, these two republican orators were, stumping Kentucky. After a successful meeting, the Kentucky colonel who had the two republican statesmen in charge invited them into the hotel barroom for some refreshments. "What 11 you have?" he asked Senator Fairbanks. "A little apollinaris," was the reply- ' : "And you?" said the host to Governor Shaw. "I think I will have a glass of buttermilk." The barkeeper turned to the Kentuckian. "What shall I give you, colonel?" he asked. The Kentucky gentleman heaved a long sigh. "Under the circumstances, " he said, "I think ycu can give me a piece. of pie." Washington Post.

Cornelius B. Tuttlc By the death of Cornelius B. Tuttle Dec. 12, while on a visit at Ravenna, O., West township loses one of its oldest and most respected citizens. Notwithstanding the severe inclemency of the weather Sunday a large concourse of citizens gathered at Donaldson in the afternoon to testify to the esteem in which he was held and to lay his remains tenderly in the grave in Donaldson cemetcrv. The funeral services, which were impressive, were conducted by Rev. G. L. Mattox. Mr. Tuttle was born at Hartford, Conn., May 15, 1827, and was brought to Ohio by his parents at the early age of five years. He came to Marshall county after his marriage. He knew from his own experience the hardy life of the pioneer and was one of those who helped to subdue the forest and make farms in this western country. He died a member of the Presbyterian church, with which he united in 1855. Mr. Tuttle was a man of high integrity and lived the life of a practical christian. He was for many years a trusted justice of the peace in West towiship. There survive him one son, S. C. Tuttle, of Ft. Wayne, and two daughters, Mrs. L. B. May and Mrs. F. M. Houser, both of whom live in Ohio. He was in poor health a long time before his death and toward the last his mind became clouded.

A Notable New Year Issue. The January Delineator has a rich and inviting table of contents, and attractive features are added to all the existing departments. IraD. Sanker, the famous evangelist, vividly describes his journey through Egypt and Palestine, and the personality of the author gives to these papers an interest that is truly remarkable. They are illustrated by photographs made by I. Allen Sankey, who accompanied his father. Recent mournful events and the intense public sympathy with Mrs. McKinley make very timely an article on Notable Pensioners of the Nation, in which the annuities paid to certain illustrious ladies arc made public for perhaps the first time. Dr. S. Ii. Elliott begins his series of recollections of a group of women noteworthy for personal character and attainments, and Clara E. Laughlin

Poe's love and marriage. Some excel
