Man With His Eyes Open

Tells What He Saw In a Trip Up North. A trip through the northern part of the county forces some facts upon the mind of a close observer, a few of which are noted below. , It is very dry, dusty and disagreeable driving over the county now. Pastures are brown and bare. The frost, or rather freeze, of last Monday night killed all the com that had escaped the August frost. The are some fields of good corn scattered through different sections and a good many fields that are no good

Another matter is the scarcity of live stock. A few years ago northern Jasper was full of cattle; now they are very scarce, and the few that are left are in poor condition. But there is plenty of hay; scads of hay; hay everywhere; a person cannot form a correct idea of the vast amount of hay without driving through the country and seeing it with his own eyes. And the quality is excellent. The season was very favorable for both the growth and curiujr > J *hr hajr; the price is very low }-..«rvv«>r and the demand anything but brisk. Parties living near Wheatfield

are running a curling and crimping press by which they prepare the hay for bed matresses arid for packing glass-ware and other fine packing. This is a new thing and at present the demand for curled hay greatly exceeds the supply. The flourishing town of Kniman is situated in the center of a fine farming, grazing and hay country, but at present it is the driest town in Northern Indiana. No saloon, not a water-melon, musk-melon or lemon to be found in the town. Plenty of good well water though.

The Coal road is too slow and uncertain for the hustling people of Kniman, so they get their mail by Star ro’ute from Wheatfield. Things in and about the town of Wheatfield indicate that the boast and claim of her citizens, “that Wheatfield is the banner town of Northern Jasper” is well founded. All around are evidences of push, 1 enterprise and public spirit. That lovely grove just north of the railroad ought to be secured and converted into a public park at once. The weeds, oh the weeds! what an eye sore. What a tiresome sight, all along the roads and in many of the fields. Thistles, burrs and noxious weeds of all kinds have gone to seed; acres of them, millions upon millions of weed seeds; enough in Northern Jasper to seed the whole United States and part of Canada. Farmers, this is wrong. The law allows you pay for cutting the weeds along the roads, and a few hours work with your mowers at the right time would save you weeks of hard labor, fighting weeds in time to come. Saw many ditches that had been or were being cleaned out. Keep up the good work, push it hard now before the fall rains come. Saw quite a number of fires along the Coal road. The farmers along that line say that their old scrappile engines are sure to set a fire about every | mile. The Three I. road has been fortunate thus far. They are taking extra precautions: have double screens on their engines, and besides pay every man good wages for plowing around and protecting his own hay stacks. The people up there fully appreciate the difference between a live, liberal railroad and a one horse concern that is too slow to even carry the U. S. mails. 5 Ex-Farmer.

Put in its Right Light.

Elkart Truth: The practical joker who makes individuals his victim’s should be drawn and quartered wherever he is captured. When he practices his infamous work on newspapers his remains should be roasted after being submitted to the above treatment. There are men in every community who think it capital sport to tell a reporter something untrue about a neighbor, and generally at an hour when the reporter has no time -for further investigation. The victim is annoyed. Sometimes he blames the paper; sometimes he does not. The man who invented the fabrication has nothing more serious to do than to laugh. A citizens’ posse should form to assist the fool killer in a chase after such individuals.

State School Attendance.

According to the Indianapolis News D. M. peering, superintendent of public instruction, estimates from the reports received that the new compulsory education law has already increased the attendance of the public schools of the state 25,000 or 30,000. County and city superintendents in all parts of the state write the department that the schools were never before so well attended.

BLAINE’S GENEROSITY. How tbe Plumed Kiitjfht Aided President Taylor’s Danirhter. A good story of James G. Blaine is told by a writer in the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. The incident related was a magnanimous and clever act of the Maine statesman, when, as speaker of the house, he got through a resolution appropriating $12,000 to the needy widowed daughter of President Zachary Taylor. This lady got as far as Washington on her way to Paris to see a sick daughter, and, being destitute of money, appealed to her only friend at the capital, Gen. Sherman. His purse was always open to the distressed, but he had no funds at all adequate to relieve her necessities. In this emergency he, thought Of BlfUne. The man from Maine entered into the spirit of the occasion as soon as he heard Gen. Sherman’s statement. He called another to the chair, made a five-minutes’ speech that fairly electrified the house, which passed the resolution which Blaine had penned only a moment before. He took the resolution in person .to the senate, where it was also immediately passed, had the president to sign it the next day, and on the following day the beneficiary got the money. Gen. Sherman always insisted that Blaine would have made the grandest actor that ever lived, and in adapting his career to politics, he robbed the stage of a born star. The Sand-Ladened Missouri. Mr. Frank H. Spearman writes in St. Nicholas of the freaks of the Missouri river, his article being entitled “A Shifting Boundary.” Mr. Spearman says: You must know that the real business of the Missouri is to carry the mountain waters east and south into the Gulf of Mexico. But in bounding from side to side of its valley through the tedious centuries, it has twisted and turned so many times that no doubt its head is confused. Carrying the quantity of mud it does, you would hardly expect it to be clear-headed. There is actually so much sand in the water that the fish all have sore eyes; some are totally blind—the saddest-looking creatures you ever caught. A really fastidious trout or bass dropped into the Missouri would hang himself in despair—on a fishhook.

Spiders ■■ Peta. Spiders are not generally popular creatures with either sex. Yet a lady writer affirms that they can be,made the “dearest little pets in the world.” She tells how she collected a common garden spider and kept the sweet lady under a glass tumbler for three weeks. She watched her "building her house of snowy silk” and raising a family, and, says the writer, “she soon learned to take flies from my hand and drink water from a leaf which I gave her fresh every day.” There are, indeed, according to this lady, few things so agreeable as a spider, whether regarded as an architect, a thing of beauty, a slayer of pests or a household pet.

MOTHER and about which such tender and holy recollections cluster as that of “ Mother ” —she who watched over our helpless infancy and guided our first tottering step. Yet the life of every Expectant Mother is beset with danger and all effort should be made to avoid it. - . ■ ■ so assists nature Mother s ■■ ■ | Expectant I*I An fl Mother is enaI" II H 1111 bled to look for- ■ ■ I Will! ward without dread, suffering or gloomy forebodings, to the hour when she experiences the joy of Motherhood. Its use insures safety to the lives of both Mother and Child, and she is found stronger after than before confinement —in short, it “makes Childbirth natural and easy," as so many have said. Don't be persuaded to use anything but MOTHER S FRIEND “ My wife suffered more in ten minutes with either of her other two children than she did altogether with her last, having previously used four bottles of ‘Mother’s Friend.’ It is a blessing to any one expecting to become a MOTHER,” says a customer.
