Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. The same amount of work applied to anything else, that is applied by those who are counted geniuses, would make a success of anything. No man is a hero to his washerwoman. She knows what kind of underclothes he wears. -Of a poor lawyer it is said: “He knows lots of law, but he han’t apply it,” but you never hear it said of a good lawyer. We would rather be poor than stingy. If it were not for foolish people who make funny blunders this world would be dreary. To prove that Prince Albert coats are distasteful to preachers and therefore ought not to be worn, we call attention to the fact that no preacher wears one except on Sunday. * How do you like to have a man with long whiskers whisper to you and stick his whiskers into your ear? When you see a bald headed man with his hair combed over the bald spot, do not think it is accidental. We would like to be a fudge, because then everybody would laugh at our jokes. The way to have a thing told is to enjoin secrecy and tell the right man. We often see loud sleigh bells on very poor horses. As long as a boy copies his father’s jokes he has not been far away from home. We dislike to see a whole family use the same joke. We believe men get as much fun out of talking about a game of cards as they got out of playing it. Every man who is in the same business says his competitor is alright, but he doesn’t know his business. How lonesome a busy man looks when he goes to loafing. When we want to draw a crowd we shall commit some crime. A man who walks too fast is just as funny as a man who walks too slow. Some people waste all their time in little details. It makes an ugly man look still uglier to wear ear muffs. One advantage in having a bad cold so you can’t smell, is that you miss a good many bad breaths. If a man wants to make a fool of himself you may as well let him go. You can’t stop him.

Could Not Breathe.

Coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, other throat and lung troubles are quickly cured by One Minute Cough Cure. One Minute Cough Cure is not a mere expectorant, which gives only temporary relief. It softens and liquifies the mucous, draws out the inflammation and removes the cause of the disease. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. “One Minute Cough Cure will do all that is claimed for it,” says Justice of the Peace, J. Q. Hood, Crosby, Miss. “My wife could not get her breath and' -was relieved by the first dose. It has been a benefit to all my family.” A. F. Long. Dp. Kay’s Renovator for the liver.

Our Man About Town.

We have received a note from England asking us to be sure to come over to see the king crowned. But we can’t go unless we can discount the note. An exchange refers in its head lines to “Fourteen Sad Funerals.” It does seem queer that among so many of them there wasn’t even one that was hilariously jolly. Wisconsin reports a “wild man” who lives in the woods and wears a shirt. This is probably the “new man” but he certainly shows good judgment in staying in the woods. %* A Florida dispatch says that a picnlcing party down there “was pursued the other day by a snake which in diameter resembled a beer barrel.” Perhaps it was. :* ♦ « A woman in thia town had some trouble with her false teeth, so she sent them to her dentist for repairs. When they were returned they did not fit and she was afraid they were not her own, so she would not use them. What if they had been some tobacco chewer’s teeth, and she would have taken a chew and thus set her to chewing the weed? Or, if she had got hold of a man’s teeth who was a profane man, and they would have started her to swearing, what a humiliating thing it would have been. Thus, we sometimes escape by a narrow margin, and may escape by the skin of somebody else’s teeth. * * * Not long since a Missouri editor announced that for just one issue he would tell the truth, naked and unvarnished. That is, the truth was to be naked aud unvarnished. Here are a few items from the issue: “John Bonion, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Bellwood yesterday. Jack Carey made a business trip to the county seat yesterday. Everybody thinks it was for a marriage license. Married—Miss Slvia Rhodes tp James Carnhan, last Saturday evening at the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary town girl who doesn’t know any more than a rabbit about cooking, and never helped her poor old mother three days of her life. She is not beautiful by any means and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well known here as an up-to-date loafer, has been living off the old folks all his life and don’t amount to shucks no how. They will have a hard life while they live together and the News hastens to extend absolutely no congratulations for we don’t believe any good can come from such a union. John Doyle, our groceryman, is doing a poor business. His store is dirty, dusty and noxiously, odoriferous. He doesn’t advertise nor treat people courteously. How can he expect to do much. Rev. Styx preached Sunday night on “charity.” The sermon was punk. If the reverend gentleman would live up a little closer to what he preaches he’d have a bigger congregation. The editor of this sheet attends just because it is proper thing. He would rather stay at home and read a good book. Prpf. Jayson has started a debating society to teach the pupils to appear well before an audience, so he says. Everybody believes to air his own knowledge. Joel Manning has announced himself a candidate for the legislature. Joel is a good hearted fellow and honest, but he really doesn’t know much. In button holeing us the other day for a puff in the paper he said he’d pay up two years- in advance on his “description” and vote for the “initio referedummy” if he were elected. Dave Sonkey died last Saturday morning at his home in this place. The doctor gave out that it was heart failure. The fact is he was drunk and whiskey’s what killed him; and his “home” was a rented shack on Rowdy street. Op press day of this particular issue, the editor of the paper left the city for a two days’ visit tp let the old town cool off and for a whole week longer went home through the back alley.” ,

THINGS IS GENERAL!

Daily Happenings Around the Prairie City. TIMELY TOPICS TERSELY TOLD! News Items Caught on the Run and Served While Warm Without Trimmings Or Embellishment. Local and Personal Notes. Morocco is talking electric lights. Dr. Kay’s Renovator for dyspepsia. Dr. Kay’s Lung Balm for bronchitis. Take your eggs to Murray’s store. Mrs. J. A. Larsh is visiting her parents at Frankfort. For fine job work call at the JOURNAL office. Ray Wood bagged eighty two ducks on the Kankakee marshes last week. To cure obscure diseases, renovate the system with Dr. Kay’s Renovator. Murray’s store will pay the highest prices for eggs commencing with this date. Robbers broke into the Earl Park bank last week and succeeded in getting away with SI,OOO. F. B. Learning, of Goshen, was unsuccessful in his race for the nominnation for county recorder. Charlie Kenton, who has been attending a medical college at St. Louis, is home for the summer vacation. Ernest Fritts has secured a position in a dry goods store at Delphi and will move there from Hartford City. Mrs. E. L. Hollingsworth and son Gerald, of Rensselaer, are guests of Dr. M. E. Jackson.—Hammond News. The Warsaw Indianian states that the work of surveying on the proposed Toledo and Chicago railroad company will be resumed April Ist. The annual meeting of the Northern Indiana Teachers’ Association will bp held at South Bend April 3 to 5. Speakers of world wide reputation will be present at the meeting. Indiana Harber is still holding its boom. The town now has five stores, five or six saloons, a hotel and a newspaper. In laying out the town fiiteen lots were assigned for saloons and these have been sold. Advertised letters: Agustave Davis (2), Chas. F. Dunham, Klaus Ettena, Herman H. Kelder, Mrs. Rosa Lee, C. E. Lambert, B. F. Maxwell, Mrs. J. McMullin, L. L. Randle, Mrs. Miam Wright, Mr. Talcott, Henry Weiler, J. C. Watson. -M’ The Goodland Herald two weeks ago announced that it would be an all home print paper until it got out of the clutches of the ready print trust. Last week it came out again with patent insides, from which we judge that it whipped the trust. Tell us how you did it, Kit. Chas. Bracken and Claude Graves received a letter Monday from one of the officials of the east and west road, requesting them to be in readiness to resume work on the road about April Ist—rather a strong indication that the company means business —Morocco Courier. J. F. Hardman, the jeweler, has taken the agency for the Continental Casualty Co., ofChicago, an insurance company that pays both sick and accident benefits. He has had phenomenal success in writing policies—writing 72 in. Rensselaer. He has also taken the local agency for the Aetna Life Insurance Co., one of the strongest companies in existence. A preacher in a neighboring town recently struck an original method of getting a good collection. As the contribution box was being passed around he announced in a loud voice: “Those of you who are in debt are not expected to give anything.” Collections had been slim before but that day money fairly rained into the contribution box. Judge Gray, of Frankfort, handed down a decision which, if sustained by the higher courts, will prove very disastrous to the Nickolson law. It was to the effect that there can be no such thing as a general power of attorney for a remonstrance against all applicants in a township or ward for a period of two years, but that the power of attorney can apply only to one particular applicant for a license, mentioned in the instrument itself. The practice in commissioners’courts has been to make one power of attorney serve all the remonstrators or temperance people against all ap- 1 plicants for two years. , |

Wallick Gets a New Trial.

Jacob Y. Wallick, who was tried on a grand jury indictment charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, and whom the jury convicted of simple assault and battery, fixing his punisoment at S6OO fine and six months in jail, has been granted a new trial. Judge Palmer held that the verdict was not justified by the evidence. The shooting at the house could not be “assault and battery” as found by the jury, for the reason that Reynolds was not touched. The shooting in the road, in which Reynolds was shot in the hand, was either assault and battery with intent to kill, or it was done in self-defense, as claimed by Wallick. If it was the former a fine and jail sentence was not adequate punishment; if it was the latter Wallick should have been acquitted. Hence the verdict was set aside and new trial granted.—Monticello Democrat.

Taxed $1 Each.

The K. P. grand lodge will probably vote a tax of $1 on each member of the order in Indiana for a building fund for the orphans’ home. This will be the means of raising about $48,000. The fund is now about SIO,OOO which will make $58,000 to be expended in buildings. The board having the matter in charge wants 60 acres of land that will cost about $3,000. The county that gets the home will have to raise about $5,000 and the northern part of the State has as good a chance as the central and southern portions. Grant county is making every effort to land the institution.

Rheumatism Cured Ina Day.

“Mystic Cure” for rheumatism and neuralga radically cures in one to three days. It’s action upon the system is remarkable and mysterious. It removes at once the cause and the disease immediately disappears. The first dose greatly benefits. 75 cents. Sold by J. A. Larsh, Druggist, Rensselaer. The Monticello national bank, capital $25,000, has organized with Thomas V. O’Connor president. The bank will open in a few days in the O’Connor building, just completed, on the southeast corner of the public square, which is among the most handsome in the state.

The**lndependent Telephone Company which recently secured a franchise to operate its lines in this section is creating considerable stir in Northern Indiana cities. Fort Wayno, Logansport, South Bend, Mishawaka, Ekhart LaPorte, Valparaiso and Haininond are all interested in the Independent line. This company is building a system at South Bend and is thought that the Independent lines of Northern Indiana will soon get into Chicago. Under the conditions there will be free service from South Bend to Mishawaka, and there will be an independent system at the latter place. Then a line, says the Indianapolis News, will be built westward to LaPorte, and the Independent line will enter Chicago by the way of Hammond.
