Picked Up Around Town

We heard of a man the other day of whom it is said that he will tell a lie on nine month’s time when he might just as well have the cash for the truth. $ -£■ * We have heard that there is a widower in this town who has so far strangled his grief as to be able to “line up” at church on Sunday evening and imagine that ne is young again. -*• ¥ MWe heard of a man the other day who reckoned among his assets his prospects. When asked wnat they were he said: “Well, me and my wife expects to inherit about SSOOO. apiece when the old folks die.” And he added as if he were discussing the tariff treaty: “They are getting quite feeble.”

A man in this town is noted for tenderness for his wife. He does many odd jobs about the house to make life easy for her. A few days ago, he scrubbed the walks around the house for her. When he was done he would not soil the walk by walking on it, but he tried to climb around it by the way of a grape arbor that was between him and the house. He tripped and fell on his nose and skinned it, losing at the least calculation thirty cents worth of pelt, and there is no market for it whatever. There wasn’t any more skin on his nose than he wanted, anyway, and now he looks like a rooster that has been in a fight with a superior prize fighter. Which seems a high price to pay for being considerate of your wife. * » * A traveling man tells this story. He cam 6 to town carrying a grip. He met a boy eight years old. The boy asked him what he was selling. The traveling man being a truthful man, said: ». “I am selling mill dams. Don’t you want to buy one?” The boy replied, “No, not today.” “Why not,” asked the man of the grip, ever ready for a “josh” or a trade.

“O, I haven’t the money now.” “That cuts no figure. Buy now and pay when you get ready.” The same old story, you understand. “No,” piped back Young America, “I’ll pay cash and take the discount,” and the traveling man said he was actually stumped. Did you ever see a traveling man in that condition? V Several gentlemen were engaged in some Sort of business transaction. They were not given to flying “off the handle” as the saying goes. They got into a misunderstanding. Even reputable and sedate men of business will do that. They did not quarrel. Boys quarrel. One of the gentlemen got tired of the bickering, and waxing hotter, tie got up and stalked out of the room. The other business man who was in the altercation shouted to him: “Say, you blankety-blanked old fool, where in blankety-blank-blank are you going. Come back here and act as if you had at least half sense.” The effect was marvelous. The speech acted like oil upon the troubled waters. The offended gentleman turned on his heel and rejoined the conference. But he remarked: “It is a mighty good thing you apologized or I would never have come back.” And thus it will be seen that it is not always a soft answer that turneth away wrath. * * There was a fire in a neighboring town the other night. It was not a

The fire had too big a start before the fire company got to it. Besides being Panhandle railroad property, there were no tears shed. was not a damp eye in the crowd, unless someone got smoke in his eye. If the house had belonged to any individual, no odds how much of a scalawag, there would have been at least some regret expressed But not a word of regret was heard. It was only a railroad company and railroad companies are legitimate prey for the fire fiend and for the jester. People would say sarcastically, “What a pity for the poor railroad. It seems such a pity that the poor railroad should lose a cent. And they are so poor, too.” Someone else would ask if it was insured and if anyone volunteered the information that it was not, there was a sham sigh of regret heard on many sides, but still no one cried his eyes out. All of which convinces one that this is a queer world. How would you like to be a railroad company?

Tore a Hole in His Face.

John Stevenson, of near Aix, was the victim of a painful accident last Saturday. He was loading an old muzzle loader shot gun, when one barrel, which contained powder but no shot, went off. The gun wad and burning powder struck him in the face and tore a hole in it, and also badly disfigured his face with powder. Dr. English dressed the wound and reports him on a fair way to recovery.

CHANGE OF LOCATION.

Postotflce to be Moved Farther West. Arrangements are being made to move the postoffice into Mayor Eger's room, first door east of C. O. Starr’s grocery. The first intimation our people had of the change was a dispatch from Washington to a Cincinnati paper Sunday, in which it stated that permission had been given for the removal. Much surprise and some indignation was expressed that the office was to be removed so far from the business center, but the postmaster claims to have sufficient reasons for making the change. ■ The room, which is a most excellent one for the purpose, is being fitted up and wi'l be occupied at an early date.

The Dluzak Case.

The case of Jacob Dluzak vs. James May, is being tried at Delphi. Dluzak has sued May for SIO,OOO damages. Some time ago May missed corn from his crib, and traced the loss by tracks on the ground to Dluzak’s home. May and his son undertook to arrest the offender, and a lively fight followed. The case was tried twice in a squire’s court and was dismissed. There were three trials in the circuit court under a grand jury indictment, and Dluzak was finally given ten days in jail. Dluzak claims he was permanently injured by the Mays in their efforts to arrest him.

LIBERAL CORNER SOLD.

K. of P. Lodge Has Bought the Property. At the meeting of the Knights of Pythias Lodge Tuesday evening a committee was ordered to purchase the Liberal Corner of A. Leopold, on wh ch the lodge has held an option. The ground is 63x100 feet and the price to be paid is $4,500. The ground is covered with old frame buildings which bring in a rental of SSOO to S6OO per year at the present time. It is the intention of the Knights when they are able financially to replace the present buildings with a fine business and lodge building, to be built of brick. We believe the purchase of this ground is a wise move on the part of the lodge, and one that will be profitable for the order.

Rural Routes.

Congressman Cromer, who is a member of the house committee on posts, has a new idea on the rural free mail delivery system that be will endeavor to get the postoffice depart ment to adopt. It is to make each county seat the headquarters for the routes of the county and allow no single route to extend outside the county. Where a route in one county leaves off it is to be so arranged that another route in adjoining county will begin. Congressman Cromer wants it tried in Delaware county as an experiment. All routes will begin in Muncie for Delaware county and will go like spider webs to all parts of the county where there are not railroad facilities. He hopes to have the local system in operation within a few weeks. Mrs. P. W. Clarke and her sister, Miss Grace Pulver, returned from Hammond Saturday. They brought back with them the infant son of their deceased sister, Mrs. Myrtle Veach, to whom Mr. and Mrs. Clarke will give a home.

Apparently this is the Most Important Question of the Day. About the biggest graft, that, was ever sprung oh u unsnpoing pu’dic is that which is now raging from one ; end of the country to the other under the name of the “Buffaloes.” The people have gone buffalo mad, and one would not be surprised to see tin m developing horn-», cloven hoofs, the itch, caudal appendages and other buffalo so wrapped up are some of them in the subject. If you haven’t been initiated yon’d better have it done right away, for your friendly tormentors will never rest until you do. Tne chances are that you will be just as crazy a buffalo as any of them afterward, but you might as well have it over with and done with even if you do see the inside of a lunatic asylum; The average buffalo approaches his victim with lordly mien and a supercilious smile as though he recognized your ignorance in the affairs of the bison and his own superior attainments. He will insist on shaking hands with you to see if you are already next to the secret of the cult, and if you do not respond with the grip it’s two to.one he makes you take the initiatory degree right then and there. It only costs 11 cents (if y u have the exact change)and the secrets imparted to one are enough to becloud his intellect forever. The craze has reached Rensselaer and already there are a large number of the herd hi the city with the list steadily growing to immense proportions. 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. I would like to have all my old customers come and see me, as I was compelled to sell my old barn on account of the lease. I can give you better accommodations than ever.
