When you see a big, lubberly boy in a red wagon tearing down the sidewalk towards you, three-fourths of his body in the vehicle while his right leg works like a piston rod in his effort to propel the outfit, just get out in the middle of the street and stand still until the besum of destruction passes by. You have no rights which a boy with a red wagon need recognize.— Morocco Courier. Prof. Ivison, of Lonacoing, Md., suffered terribly from neuralgia of the stomach and indigestion for thirteen years and after the doctors failed to cure him, they fed him on morphine.

F. Long. Under provisions of a recent law, school transfers can only be charged $1 in the grades and S2.SOJn the diigh schools, per month.

Short’s new feed and hitch barn on Cullen street just north of Hempill’s barn is now ready for boarding and feeding horses at the old price: hitching, 5 cents a horse; grain, 5 cents a horse, hay, 5 cents a horse.

The stomach controls the situation. Those who are hearty and strong are those who can eat and digest plenty of food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and allows you to eat all the good food you want. If you suffer from indigestion, heartburn, belching or any other stomach trouble, this preparation can’t help but do you good. The most sensitive stom-

achs can take it.

Death at the Jail.

Frederick J. -Wilder, who has been making his home with Sheriff Hardy at the jail residence, died last Friday night of chronic Bright’s disease, at the age of 76 years, 6 months and 6 days. Deceased was a native of Germany, and for several years has been an inmate of the county asylum. When Mr. Hardy retired from the superintendency of that institution, the old man asked to be taken along, and his wishes were gratified. Wilder came to this country in 1866. He started for America in 1843, but his ship was wrecked on the coast of Newfoundland, and he became a sailor, in which capacity he served until 1866. He was never married but it is supposed that he has relatives in Germany. The funeral was held at the'sheriff’s residence Sunday afternoon, services

The legislature of Indiana has adopted the star spangled banner, the plain but inspiring flag of the republic, as the state emblem. This takes the place of the old pioneer seal of Indiana and completes the extermination of the buffalo from this country. The only animal left in a wild state was on the where with tail up and head down, he has been fleeing for almost a hundred years from under a big tree that a strong armed woodsman was engaged in felling —South Bend Tribune. The senate bill, providing that the term of office of the county auditor, clerk, sheriff, assessor, coroner, surveyor, commissioners and prosecuting attorney in each county in the state shall begin on the fourth day of January next following the term of office of the present incumbent, has become a law. This will extend the term of the sheriff, auditor, surveyor, recorder, coroner, prosecuting attorney and commissioners from November to January, and the clerk from May to January. This will make the election of a clerk at the election of next year in this county unnecessary, as it will extend Mr. Major’s term until after the election of 1902.

CHARLES M. BLUE,

The Designer.

Easter poetry, Easter entertainments, Easter fashions and Easter hats are given in The Designer for April, and all are as charming as art and ingenuity can combine to make them. Costumes for brides,-brides-maids, sweet girl graduates, and little maidens making their first communion are pictured with refinement and good taste, and will undoubtedly serve as useful hints to those who need such attire. “Points on Dressmaking” is as usual a valuable guide to the professional as well as the amateur needlewoman. A most interesting illustrated article is “Miss Columbia’s New Charges,” descriptive of the good work being done for the Cuban orphans of the late war, and of equal but of widely differing interest is the short story entitled “The Pursuit of Miss Mooney,” which wins the first prize in the short story contest given by the Standard Fashion Company. The list of prize winners is given in full in this number, and a new prize announcement is made which The Designer young folks should be interested. “An Easter Drill for Little Maids” is a dainty little entertainment suitable for

school presentation and is illustrated in an equally dainty manner. “Congenial Field for Women Workers” treats of a rather new feminine industry in the shape of bookbinding; “Simple Knitting Designs,” “With Thread and Shuttle” and “Artistic Framing for Kodak Pictures” provide plenty of enjoyable fancy work for young and old; “Easter Flowers” gives hints for attractive decoration for church and home; “Ye Furniture of ye Oiden Time” suggests novel fitments to the householder, while “For Health and Beauty,” “Book Notes,” '‘Among Ourselves,” “The Kindergarten in the Home,” “Easter Mond?y in Washington,” “Etiquette Hints,” “Nursery Lore,” “Household Advice” ahQ “Cookery Recipes” complete a table of contents which is at once generous and interesting, and of value to every member of the household. It is not necessarily a sign that a man is busy merely because he does not go home early in the evening. There may be a hen party at the house.

Where It Comes From.

While an old lady from a Shropshire village was spending a week at C , one of our busy South Yorkshire towns' she accepted an invitation to witness the process of bottle making. Being delighted with the various stages passed through by a well-known patent receptacle for aerated water, she seemed specially struck with the blowing. In company with her guide, one of the managers, she gazed intently at the men as they took the molds containing molten glass and with distended cheeks blew through a long Iron tube Into the mold. After adjusting her old-fashioned spectacles, and while assuming a striking attitude by throwing up both hands, she exclaimed: “Well, I’ve often thowt as they mint ev ’ard wark to put gasy air Into ginger beer, but ah niwer thowt they blawed in tn 1’ that way afore!”

WITH THE HUMORIST.

"I wish I were a book,” remarked the neglected wife of the professor, "then perhaps you would pay some attention to me.” “Ah!” exclaimed the professor, "If, you were only an almanac then I could exchange you every year.”—Chicago Dally News. “Mrs. Jorkens, I saw you going into Mrs. Brash’s house today." “Yes, but I have no acquaintance with her at all: I just use her telephone.”—Chicago Record. “Papa, can’t I go down to the natatorium and learn to swim?" “No, daughter. If you are really bent on acquiring an accomplishment by which you might some time save my life you can stay at home and learn to cook.” —Chicago Record. Smiling stranger (stopping tn front of the cage)—Polly want a cracker? Parrot (from Missouri) —Cracker nothin’, you durn foot I want a chew o’ to backer!"—Chicago Tribune.

One of Robert Barr's Jokes.

Robert Barr, the novelist, is a great joker. L. F. Austin, an English writer, tells how Barr worried a waiter. He says: *'l was finishing breakfast at a table in the pleasantest window. Ho saw me from the doorway and said to a waiter: 'I want that taMe for some friends who are coming to lunch at once. Who’s the man sitting there? I’ll turn him out’’ So he strode up to me with a fierce expression, followed by the protesting waiter, and said: ‘Look here, you’ve had this table quite long enough? Ain’t you ashamed to bo breakfasting at this hour?* The terrified servant evidently expected bloodshed. Perhaps he was a diligent reader of my friend's tales and thought ho was going to see one of them transected In real life, with ths assistance of a corpse and serviettes all over ears.**

When a woman taken a husband for better or for worse she nearly always finds Jjlm worse than she expected. The short tale is all right in literature, but the docked horse no doubt thinks it is all wrong in fly time. There is plenty of room in the world for everybody, but a lot of trouble arisen from the fact that there is always some other fellow ocupyiag the Place you want.—Chicago Dally Nows.
