Spring Humors Come to most people and cause many troubles,—pimples, boils and other eruptions, besides loss of appetite, that tired feeling, fits of biliousness, indigestion and headache.

We are glad her nose was hung and we hope it was hung tight enough so that it did not drop during the ceremony.

Warsaw mourns, for the champion eater of that city is dead. He recently accepted achadenge to eat 70 hardboiled eggs in one hour, and he almost accomplished his feat, since he devoured 69 in the specified time. The fact that he lost the wager, however, and through one egg, preyed on his mind and he became sick. Doctors were summoned and said that he was suffering from indigestion, but his friends say that it was nothing but worry over this one egg which made him sick and which finally brought him to his grave.

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell id the earth; i know not where. —Longfellow. When folks say they cannot be flatI tered it is the first sign that it is beI ginning to take effort. If a man gets oft a joke you do not understand or see the point to, just laugh and you will be safe, anyway. An opera glass stick in a country opera house mevely makes folks smile. Most people have to work mighty hard to make a living and then pretend to be happy while doing it. You do not always go to a concert because you want to. Sometimes you go because you are a neighbor to some of the performers. Too many people take up your time talking nothing but “shop.” wsSome people agree with you in everything you say, and how you do hate them. A man who goes to a strange church and sleeps all through the service, pays no great compliment to the preacher. How would you like to be selling millinery if you were a man ? Every time we see a man who can do some one thing well, we are sorry that we do not amount to something, too.

When a town man makes a little garden he thinks every farmer ought to be the happiest man on earth. A man who comes out of a sick spell wherein he almost heard the angels’ wings, is as muoh a hero as a mu who has won a battle. What has become of the man who used to work “from sun to sun ?” Lots of people do not receive any favors because they are known to be ungrateful. The funniest thing we know of is to hear a story told the way a practical joker tells it, and then to hear the correct version. When we see how hard everybody has to work, we wonder what we live for, anyway. We wonder why pain was sent into the world. It is always unwelcome. Some days nothing happens but things to aggravate you. The way some men brag on their sons, it is a wonder that they themselves did not amount to more. „ We used to be young, but that does not take away the sting of growing old. Men are as bad to complain of ill health as women. One good thing about soaking corns off your feet is, you get them clean once again, anyway, if it is the first time since you were a baby. A boy never feels as important any time as when he passes as a cigar fiend the first time in his life. It is funny, but the oniy kind of a stomach worth haying is the kind you do not know you have.

Don’t Start Wrong.

Don’t start the summer with a lingering cough or cold. We all know what a “summer cold” is. It’s the hardest kind to cure. Often it “hangs on” through the entire season. Take it in hand right now. A few doses of One Minute Cough Cure will set you right. Sure cure for coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, all throat and lung troubles. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. Children like it. “One Minute Cough Cure is the best cough medicine I ever used,” says J. H. Bowles, Groveton, N. H. “I never found anything else that acted so safely and quickly.” A. F. Long.

Henry Mercer Babb.

The Indianapolis News of last Saturday printed an excellent likeness of Grandfather H. M. Babb, of Rensselaer. The skotch from Rensselaer, accompanying the illustration says: This city is probably the only one in Indiana which has the dis tinction of being the home of both a real son and a real daughter of the revolution. A biographical sketch of the daughter, Mrs. Diana Evans, together with her photograph, was recently presented in The News. The son of the revolution is Henry Mercer Babb. He was born at Winchester, Va., June, 1813. His greatgrandfather, Thomas Babb, came to this country from the Isle of Man. His grandfather, whose name was also Thomas Babb, married Blanche Mercer, daughter of Gideon Mercer, whose father came to this country from Scotland. Their family consisted of seven children—four daughters and three sons. The youngest son, whose name was Henry Mercer Babb, was the father of, Henry Mercer Babb, Jr., the subject of this sketch. He enlisted at Winchester, Va., as a member of the Winchester Hussars, and served in the war of the revolution. Henry Mercer J Babb, Jr., married Miss Eleanor Ann Lane, in 1833, in Ohio. To them were born twelve children—eight daughters and four sons. Two of the sons served in the civil war. Henry Mercer Babb now has forty-two grandchildren and forty-three great-grandchil-dren. He came to Indiana in 1837, where he has since resided; most of the time since 1861 in this city. Mr. Babb still retains his faculties, mental and physical, to a remarkable degree, j considering his great age. If he lives until the second day of June he will be eighty-nine years old.

Holds up a Congressman.

“At the end of the campaign,” writes Champ Clark, Missouri’s brilliant congressman, “from overwork, nervous tension, loss of sleep and constant speaking I had about utterly collapsed. It seemed that all the organs in my body were out of order, but three bottles of Electric Bitters made me all right. It’s the best all-around medicine ever sold over a druggist’s counter.” Over worked, run-down men and weak, sickly women gain splendid health and vitality from Electric Bitters. Try them. Only 50c. Guaranteed by A. F. Long.

Wants Others to Know.

“I have used DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for constipation and torpid liver and they are all right. I am glad to indorse them lor I think when we find a good thing we ought to let others know it,” writes Alfred Heinze, Quincy, 111. They never gripe or distress. Sure, safe pills A. F. Long. -M A man in a neighboring town arose during a revival meeting and in a repentant way said: “Dear friends, I feel the spirit moving me to talk and tell what a bad man I have been, but I can’t do it when the grand jury is to be in session next weak.” “The Lord will forgive you,” answered the preacher. “I guess that’s all right,” said the man, “but he ’aint on the grand jury.”

FIVE PER CENT FARM LOANS.

One Per Cent Commission. W. B. Austin, Rensselaer, has a special fund to loan at 5 per cent interest and one per cent commission. No delay. The Confederate Spy, a military drama in five acts, will be rendered by the St. Joseph’s College Volunteers in the College Auditorium this evening. The play is modern throughout. The plot is laid during the Civil War, and is of such a character as makes it very appropriate for the season. It personifies typical characters of the Negro, Dutchman and Irishman, at the same time depicting the rigor of the military laws that governed the Federalists during the war. It contains many thrilling climaxes which cannot fail to be of great interest to all and especially to the members of the Q. A. R. and others who lived at the time of the call to arms in 1860. It also contains many humorous acts which will make you laugh whether you will or not. Good music between each act. This play is sure to please you and if you miss it yon will always regret It. All are invited to enjoy an evening with ns. Admission twenty- five cents.
