Home.

Home is the sweetest word in the Saxon tongue. It has in it the brightness of sunshine and tho fragrance of flowers. It suggests love and rest and gladness. It calls up pictures painted imperisbably on our hearts, ft speaks of father’s cares, and mother’s love and wife’s tenderuesa and devotion. The home is the safeguard of the nation. It is a nursery where only can. be grown manly men and womanly women.

Tax Dodging Scheme.

(toodland lieraid. It has been ascertained that there, is a bond brokerage business established in Chicago that performs the peculiar function of assisting men in towns and elsewhere to avoid the payment of their of their just share of taxes. It is done this way: For a small margin this concern. will issue “bond’’ certificate alleging that the holder hae purchased a certain amount of U. S. bonds, which of course, are not taxable. This certificate is presented to the assessor, and the foxy individual escapes taxation on his money, although he never saw or owned a United States bond in his life.’’ It is almost beyond belief that intelligent citizens would resort to such a gauzy scheme to avoid the payment of a few dollars in taxes, and and yet it is said -that] S2O,(XX) of these “certificates” came to Good- j land this year.

A counterfeiting outfit was! found buried on a farm near Valparaiso last week and an investigation is in progress to learn who buried itas it was done recently. The plates for printing notes are said by experts to be exceptionally fine. It is surprising how many peo- I pie there are who will take their! lives with their own hands by call- j ing up the patrons of a telephone exchange during a thunder storm, when death might follow as quickly and surely as in the case of B. F. Duncan at the telephone Tuesday afternoon, at the Studebaker works. It is scarcely less surprising that the exchange operators will answer these calls, which are also dangerous to them. These wires cover a large territory and frequently carry charges of the I electric fluid in time of storm. ,The matter in a nut-shell is this, I that the telephone should b.* left severely alone in time of a thunder [ Storm. —South Bend Times.

With Orders to Print.

A neighboring exchange prints the following as the contents of a letter recently received. The picture is probably overdrawn, but on the whole there are many points in it that will be recognized by the brethren of the press as strictly true: “Send me a few copies of the papfer which had the obituary and verses about my little child a month or two ago? You will publish the enclosed clipping about my niece’s marriage. And I wish you-would mention in your local columns, if it don’t cost anything, that I am going to have a public sale and will rent a part of my farm, also tlgit I have a few extra calves to sell at Send me a couple of extra copies of the paper this week, but as my time is out you may stop my paper, as times are to hard to waste money on a newspaper.”
