A Wisconsin man named Creeper named his daughter Alice Virginia and now ner schoolmates torment her by writing it-“A Virginia Creeper.” On January 6th, the President had to affix, with a pen on parchment, his signature to some eighteen hundred army commissions. And some people deny that the President is overworked. In the current number of the Liber al Review, President Roosevelt, in an article on “Good Citizenship” says the essentials of good citizens are “courage, honesty and common sense; and a litt'e knowledge of history.” New South Wales has passed a law making arbitration in labot disputes compulsory. This is following the precedent set by New Zealand about five years ago, which has so far proved eminently satisfactory to both employer and employed. The British press is drawing invidious Comparisons between American and English millionaires. They allege that the English millionaires are stingy, but hope in time may be induced to emulate the munificent example of Mr. Carnegie. Out of 77,000 school children recently examined by physicians, 4,600 were found to be suffering from>contagioua diseases. This would suggest the necessity of the regular medical inspection of school children, at least in large cities. As an example of prodigious endurance, the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, after a New Years reception which was attended by nearlv nine thpnsand people, with all of whom the President shook hands, attended the theater in the evening. Although the United States has taken no part officially in the BritishBoer war, according to the Rev. Mr. Broekhuysen, her citizens have contributed over $50,000 to the cause, the largest contribution the Boers have received from outside sources. Having failed to excite the American people to a condition of paroxsysmal hysteria over the de monitization of silver, Mr. Bryan has tamed his attention to the Boers and is trying to precipitate trouble be tween the United States and Great Britain. Sixty per cent of the candidates for enlistment in General Baden Powell’s police have been rejected on the ground of bad teeth”, says a London cablegram. Evidently England has come to a point where she mast recruit among the lame and the aged.

A New. York reporter stationed at a street corner' in the shopping dla> trict counted the long and short skirts worn by ladies who passed during one hour. Of the 320 women who went by, seventy-five per cent wore short skirts. The good sense of American women is evidently a reform which legislation would be powerless to accomplish. The most encouraging feature of wireless telegraphy is the possibility that it will afford complete protection from collision to ocean vessels. Nothing heretofore invented hasaccotnplished this, but on her last voyage the Umbria was made aware, by wireless telegraphy, of the presence of another vessel when it was still seventy five miles distant.

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. People who know more about a saw horse than any other kind will go to a horse show and pretend to be interest ed. • •4k- w One thing is settled; if a man is carrying his wife’s hat from the milliner store, he can’t carry anything else. If a man ever did any devilment, all the old women in the neighborhood will remember it against him. More than half of what we say is not worth while mentioning. If you want to see all kinds of handwriting, you should study a hotel register. If you want to see something real fnnny, have your baby pack your gripIt is a wonder that some folks get along at all, considering how little they know. Every person who borrows your lead pencil sticks it into his mouth first thing. It Hatters a man to be asked his advice, even if he knows nothing at all about what you want to know. Some men’s only boast is, that they were there first. Men in town will build fine barns and then keep their horses at the livery stable. A life insurance agent will admit that there are other good companies besides his, but he always follows the statement with a “but.” Usually the man who walks ahead of the band can’t play a note. A woman will have a friendly visit over the telephone half an hour long and the moment she hangs up the receiver, she will say “some people never know when to quit.” Some men boast that they never spend any money to go to the “tne-aye-ter.”

When a murder trial is being held, all the old men will tell you how they once had a fight. Some men’s only boast is that they always had to hustle for themselves, and frequently they do not show a very good job. A great many people think if they had plenty of money, they would do nothing but travel.

The smaller the town, the longer the funeral services. ■m. ws. Considering how mad people get when they hear some little thing that is said about them, we just wonder what they would do if they knew all that is Said. Lodges will often quarrel over the arrangements for a funeral. Just a few men run every church and every lodge. Some men enjoy their own smart ness so that we always envy them If a man starts a fire and grinds tne cofferf, he thinks he has done a good deal toward getting breakfasc. Everybody seems to be in trouble.

Mr. and Mrs. Jonas G. Clark, parents of Mrs. Henry Amsler, celebrated in a quiet way their 61st wedding anniversary last Friday. They have resided here only since October, coming here from Brushton, N. Y. Mr. Clark is 89 years of age and Mrs Clark 84. '

The Designer.

-St. Valentine’s Day and Washington’s Birthday divide honors in the February Designer, which contains Valentine verses, Valentine amusements for children, “Washingtonian Tableaux,” a Washington’s Birthday comedy—“ Mrs. Podgers’ Mince Pie,” and illustrated directions for dressing the hair in Martha Washington style. Three capital short stories are “Aunt Lina’s Conjurin’,” by Will Harben, “Her Son’s Wife,” by Margaret Whillans Beardsley, “Miss Clarissa’s Smile Factory,” by Mary Potter. “Pincushions” and “Novelties in “Crochet” give hints for fancy work. “The Hygiencic Pantry and Storeroom,” “Household Advice” and “Breakfast Recipes” offer assistance to the housewife. “Points on Dressmaking,” “Fashions and Fabrics,” “For Health and Beauty,” and “Nursery Lore” are other practical and interesting features. “Daughters of the White House,” by Waldon Fawcett, is an illustruated article of merit, and “Book Notes” and “Selections for the Recitationist” make up the list of miscellany. Prominent among the fashion features is “Costumes for Elderly Ladies,” beautifully illustrated, and'containing just such information as is needed by those desiring dignified and appropriate apparel. Aside from this there is a generous supply of fashion designs for adults and juveniles, all suitable for the Beacon land artistically pictured. A new departure in The Designer, and one which will be highly appreciated, consists of fully-illustrated instructions for the making of stylish hats and bonnets. By the aid of this article any woman wita an average knowledge of sewing can turn out a handsome and effective hat or bonnet at reasonable cost.

The oldest rural delivery mail route in the United States runs from Hope, Ind. More carriers are now making daily rounds in the state than any other state in the union. If they went in a straight line in relays, they would cross the continent every day. The total length of the routes is oyer five thousand miles, and the area covered is oyer eight thousand square miles. They serve nearly two hundred thousand people, who 3 years ago had to travel from one to ten miles to get their mail. The Knights of Pythias and Rathbone Sisters held a joint installation last Friday night. Over 200 were present, and a very enjoyable time was had.

Getting Thin is all right) if you are too fat; and all vjfbng, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil.

Gallagher Ditch, 15 per cent, of Cost of Construction. • ALL the Road and Bridge Tax and ONE-HALF of all other taxes make the FIRST INSTALLMENT and must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday in May, 1902. ONE-HALF of all taxes, except Road and Bridge, constitute the SECOND INSTALLMENT, and must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday in November, 1902. Failure to pay the First Installment when due makes both installments delinquent and attaches a penalty of ten per cent, to the full amount. Thfe conditions prevailing are such thatthe Treasurer CANNOT make and hold receipts for any one. Please do not ask it. PROVISIONS OF LAW RELATING TO TAXATION. “The owner of property on the first day of April of any year shall bp liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser on the first day of April shall be considered the owner on that day.” Purchasers of PERSONAL Property as well as Real Estate sl}ovij4 remember that “TAXES FOLLOW THE PROPERTY when the taxes thereon remain unpaid.” • “COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of the taxes.” “It is the duty of the TAX-PAYER to state definitely on what property he desires to pay. taxes, in whose name assessed and in what township or town it was assessefi. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from the taxpayer’s omission to so state.” The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of April of that year and remains unchanged for the year as to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after the first day of April of any year will never appear upon the Duplicate of that year’s taxes. ~ • Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes are complicated, such js undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid the rush of the last few days, as it requires time to make the divisions and separate receipts. ROAD RECEIPTS MUST be presented in payment of FIRST INSTALLMENT. The Annual Sale of Delinquent Lands and Lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY of FEBRUARY, 1902. R. A. PARKISON, Rensselaer, ind., January i, 1902. Treasurer of Jasper County.
