That Short Order Habit Just grows on you and you don’t know why. Of course it’s natural in a way. When you’ve eaten at the SHORT ORDER HOUSE once you notice that careful freedom in which it is served and the good taste, the neatness and everthing else is so unlike any other eating house in the city that you find yourself walking down THAT SIDE STREET the very first time you get hungry again. We like to have the country people come in and see us too. VERNON NOWELS Runs the Short Order House.

Hypnotized His Man.

A demonstration of the application of hypnotism as an anaesthetic was made at the office of Dr. F. B. Coohrane, of Delphi, last Thursday afternoon, The patient was a young farmer, who Was put in a hypnotic condition by V. L. Rickets, of the Delphi Journal. The young man took a seat in the dentist’s chair and, after being placed under hypnotic influence, the dentist began to drill and chisel the man's teeth, working for thirty minutes. During the time there was not ! a sign from the patient that- he was conscious. A large cavity in a tooth was filled, but without the use of a rubber dam, as there was no flow of saliva. During the operation the young man followed suggestions from the dentist. The ladies of the Christian church , will give an entertainment at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Coen on McCoy Avenue on Friday, March 7, afternoon and evening. “A trip around the World” will be taken. Refreshments will be served in each country, the waiters being dressed in the costumes of the different countries.

HAMMOND COURT HOUSE.

The Act Providing for it Held to Be ♦ Constitutional. J , • -w The Supreme Court has affirmed the case involving the constitutionality of the act for the construction of a court house at Hammond. The circuit court held the act constitutional and refused to enjoin the board of commissioners from building a court house and this judgment was approved. Judge Gillet, who lives at Hammond, was circuit judge when this suit was brought, but declined to try it and called Judge Hammond as a special judge, who decided it. Judge Gillet did not participate in the decision by the Supreme court Although the court refused to enjoin the erection of a court house, the commissioners have not built one, but have awaited the decision of this appeal. A ragman who was gathering up worn out clothing purchased a pair of discarded trousers at a farm house and remarked to the man of the house as he paid for the stuff he bought: I see sir that you are about to lose your land onja mortgage. Guess you are right, said the discouraged looking farmer, but wiH you tell me how the Sam Hill you found that out? Easy enough, said the cheerful ragman, as he settled back on his peddling. I noticed that those old pants are completely played out so far as the part of ’em you sat on is concerned but they show mighty little wear anywhere else.

RENSSELAER. IND., THURSDAY, MARCH 6. 1902.

Our Man About Town,

Here’s a new one on David Harum. We heard a man say the other day that the best book he had read in a long time was “David Harriman.” A preacher’s little girl said the other day that the Holy Post fell on her. She was in a religions frame of mind and had in view the Holy Ghost, of which she had heard. She got the sound right, if not the words. The other day we heard a man use the good old fashioned gag, “Not much, Mary Ann.” When have you heard that before ? « * w A widow who had buried three husbands was being guyed by several old maid boarders. They were advising her about what they considered a good “catch,” but she told them she would give them a chance at this one, as she had taken three away from them, and that is enough for one woman. *.* An old man in this town, who is called a crank, was talking with a younger man, and when he ran out of argument, he simply said, “O, you don’t know much.” If he had not been a crank the young man would have been insulted, but a crank is allowed to say anything with impunity. *♦* A preacher in thia toW had bad luck one Sunday, recently. He was getting along with his sermon pretty well, he thought, for about forty minutes, but after that he seemed to run out of ideas that were strictly new and original. He hunted around a good deal and finally got on the right track, but time seemed to drag so. His watch seemed to get along even slower than his ideas. Finally, after the town clock struck and the people began to yawn, he concluded to draw his remarks to a close, even if only brought to a period. When he got through, he found that instead of thirty minutes, he had preached fiftythree minutes. His watch had stopped. His wife saw to it that he got his watch repaired before another Sunday. ® * * An exchange has struck a philo sophical streak and remarks: “Some people hang to their money as though they wished and expected to take it to heaven with them. They deny themselves of the comforts of life, neglect their education and stand as stumbling blocks to others. If they ever get to heaven it will be on the penurious line. They will be so thin in substance and worth as to go through a crack in the gate with great ease. It is moral and intellectual worth that fits a person for eternity. The brain was not given to be neglected or turned to miserism. It is safer to take a reasonable amount of money and time and lay it out in the improvement of one’s, self. A person may gain the love of a few by being rich, but at the same time he gains envy. But when he advances his knowledge and general worth he is doing the Lord’s will and increases his chance for eternal happiness at every step.” * * • One evening recently a party of men were sitting around the stove in Eger’s telling yarns and watching the antics of a pet kitten. The conversation turned on to the subject of Leap Year, when several old superstitions were told concerning the bissextile period. An old gentleman ( who had been sitting in the background and saying nothing made the statement that there are more girls born in Leap Year than during any year which is not bissextile. This caused considerable discussion as to the why and -wherefore, and several very queerireasons were offered, but none of them appeared to be cogent. At last some one asked the old gentleman if he knew the reason. He said he did and when asked to give it, said it was caused by there being one more day in Leap Year than in other years. The party broke up then and there and John turned out the lights. * In a meat market in this town, there were two partners who got along all friendly and amicably. One day about the time calendars were ripe, a

beautiful specimen was left at the shop, and one of the proprietors happened to be out. It was a big pasteboard calendar made In the form of a beautiful girl and was almost life sice. It was cut out of pasteboard and stood up shockingly in imitation of the real thing. For convenience, the proprietor who was present set the calendar into the refrigerator. When the absent member came in and happened to go into the meat room, he saw the imitation in a hazy light, and he came out blushing and was visibly rattled; He felt that it was not a wise move, yet he wished to avoid a scene, and after the customer had gone out, he suggested to his partner that pereaps it would be Just as well to be a bit more circumspect. The guilty partner went Into the refrigerator and invited his guest to meet bis partner. As she was somewhat reluctant about coming out, he took her by the arm and assisted her, and when he brought her out, the suspicious member of the firm fell over a meat block and stepped on a string of wiennie worst which yelped like a dachsund. He Is not done setting up the cigars yet.

Political Notes.

James D. Babcock, ex-trustee of Marion township, and Samuel R. Nichols, ex-trustee of B arkley township, are the latest candidates for county treasurer. Lyman Zea informs us that he has a “cinch” on the city marshalship and there is not a particle of doubt that he will be the nominee. He says that be is the business man’s choice, as well as the laboring man’s. The Newton county papers are raising a great noise because Jasper wants to name the candidate for circuit judge, which she has a perfect right to do. They evidently forget the treatment they accorded to Jasper county at the senatorial convention held at Goodland two years ago. The friends of Ed. Biggs, of Wheatfield, in this end of the county, are more than anxious to see his name announced as a candidate for Commissioner from the I st district. —Remington Press. Mr. Biggs and his friends in this vicinity appreciate the compliment thus paid him by our friends on the south side, and, while we realize that you may search the county with a fine-tooth comb and fail to find a better man than Mr. Biggs for any office within the gift of the people of this county I have Mr. Biggs’ personal assurance that he has no political aspirations whatever, and under no circumstance? could he be induced to make the race for Commissioner.— Wheatfield Telephone. What I am about to propose is done without the knowledge or consent of the gentleman 16 question, and without ascertaining his wishes in regard to the matter, but right here and now the Telephone rises to suggest 'the name of Abraham Halleck, of DeMotte, as a candidate to succeed himself as Commissioner of the First district. Mr. Halleck has made a good and efficient officer, has conducted affairs in a praiseworthy manner and to the liking of his constituents and if he will again accept the trust he should have it without opposition. True, Bro. Babcock is opposed to him and has raw-hided and ki-yied around like a drunken cow-boy at a greaser fandango, but if there is another republican office-holder in the county, past or present, who has not been subjected to the same treatment, will he please stand up and be counted? Mr. Halleck has been subjected to attacks unworthy of even the man who penned them and Mr. Halleck owes it to himself and his party to refiise to retire under his fire of vituperation, and his party owe it to themselves and to Mr. Halleck to give him a clear field—a unanimous nomination—and a rousing vindication in November. Since the above artisle was put in type Mr. Halleck has Signified his willingness to make the race, which fact I am pleased to record.—Wheatfield Telephone.

The money was all in S2O gold pieces. Mrs. Wright was 84 years old at the time of her death.
