Whitcomb Riley's "Soldier" poem, read at the dedication of the magnificent monument at Indianapolis, is by critics pronounced somewhat stiff, stilted, and unnatural. When Riley gets away from Riley he can hardly be expected to be at his best. Chicago generally manages to come out ahead. Last summer its love-sick swains and lassies hastened themselves to St. Joe to have the connub al knot tied at $1 for licenses and $2 for the twist.

The city of Crawfordsville is no longer in the circus belt, and it has been years since a first-class circus has pitched its tents in the Athens of Indiana. Some years ago, so 'tis said, the city officers attempted to impose an exorbitant license fee, which the circus management would not pay, avoiding tha penalty by camping just outside the city limits. Crawfordsville then found itself on the circus blacklist. It now realizes that not

only do the people want to see a good show, but that a good show is a good thing from a business point of view; and the white flag Is fluttering.

There are 811 schools supplied with Declaration of Independence charts, and 375 with patriotic primers. The legal holidays are observed by all.

Saved By Chance. Capt. Ira B. Myers, of Peru, Ind., who has served for several years as U. S. consul at St. John, N. B.. has been appointed consul at St. Pierre, Martinique. He was about to sail for there to arrive May 6, when he received word to remain at St. John three months longer. This delay doubtless saved the lives of Captain Myers and his wife. The vessel on which Captain Myers had secured passage was burned in the taarbor at St. Pierre. H7 0) IN Uli ÜUÜ

Thayer, on South Michigan street. Everybody is most cordially and earnestly invited to attend. Wheat Prospects Are Favorable.. While it is generally agreed that there has been much improvement in the winter wheat states since the opening of the month, prices became somewhat firmer upon the publication of the official report of condition on May 1. Based on the average of 76.4, the produce exchange statistician estimated the yield at 341,498.000 bu. This is considerably less than the record-breaking production last year, but compares favorably with earlier crops. Since these figures were compiled there have been abundant rains in Kansas and Nebraska, where the need was most urgent, yet. on the other hand, a considerable acreage in spring wheat sections has been abandoned because of excessive moisture. Experts for ten months of the crop year assure the heaviest outgo ever recorded, even if the last two months make poor exhibits.

They, fresh from the study of church history, were laughing together over the old scholastic question: "How many angels are supported on the point of a needle?" They were surprised when Dr- Talmage turned to them and said: "Well, how many do you think?" As no one answered he went on. with decision: "Well, I'll tell you five." And he justified his answer witli the following story: One very stormy night he was coming home late, and noticed a light in the window of a room where he- knew a poor woman lived whose husband was at sea. He wondered what' kept her up so late, and he went to sec. He found her hard at work sewing by her lamp, while her five rosy children were sound asleep beside her. 'There," said Dr. Talmage, "was a needle supporting five angels. "--Philadelphia Record. FOR SALE A good Knabe piano. First class time. Cheap if taken soon. 32tf C. II . Reeve.
