The Pianist Who Knew His Business.

Perhaps nothing can exert a more powerful Influence on the feelings, rhe sympathies of the human race, than music; When it is appropriate'it la a great boon, but men’s opinions as to what is appropriate music vary considerably. A,traveling showman recently said: “I took out a tableau show some time ago, and I had some queer experiences. We always had trouble getting suitable music, for one thing. I remember that we struck a certain town where the music was furnished by a seedy, freckled-faced young man, who officiated at a wreck of a piano. “I asked him if he could think of music suitable to each picture as it was displayed. ‘Certainly he could, and do it impromptu.’ The performance opened. He was seated at the piano, and he turned to look at the first tableau. It was a representation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Like a flash he turned and began pounding out ‘There’s Only One Girl in This World for Me.’ ”

A Double Crop of Apples.

On a Long Island farm is an apple tree which bore two crops of fruit the past year, and the farmers are taking unusual interest in this [veculiarity of nature. Just as much interest is being shown in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which cures dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation and blood disorders when other remedies fail to benefit.

Fashoda Big G ame.

Big game Is said to be extraordinarily plentiful in the region of Fashoda. The river swarms with crocodiles and hippopotami, while great herds of antelopes of various kinds and giraffes are frequently met with.' The latter fact is particularly interesting, as most of the zoological gardens in the world are in want of a specimen of the North African giraffe, which they have been unable to obtain, owing to the closing of the Central Soudan for so many years.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Kidnaped by a Horse Thief—Attempt to Poison a Wealthy Farmer—Doctor Kills a Woman-Waterworks Established Before Water Is Obtained. Roy Strickland, the 12-year-old son of the Rev. J. E. Strickland, near Fort Branch, returned the other night to his home. About three months ago the boy was sent to Princeton by his father on an errand. He was riding one of his father’s horses when overtaken by a man named Jack Green. “I will take both you and the horse,” said Green to the boy, and he did what he- said he would do. Green took the horse and boy to Illinois. He sold the horse for SIOO and at a small town above Cairo, 111., purchased a shanty boat. He prohibited the boy from leaving the boat and would strap him to a board to him from running off. The boy and man floated down the river until they reached Grand Lake, Ark. Here the boy planned his escape, but so closely was he watched by Green that it was several weeks before he could carry his plans into execution. Woman Slain by a Physician. Dr. E. E. Gray killed Mrs. Lizzie Skinner on the street within 100 feet of the depot at Bloomfield, in plain view of many people. He stabbed her four times with a surgical knife, and she died instantly. The murderer was watching for her at the depot as she was coming to board the train. After the killing he immediately gave himself up. Mrs. Skinner left a former husband on account of the doctor and he had deserted a wife and family for her. An attempt to lynch Gray was frustrated by the officers, who took hint to Jeffersonville. No Water for Town Supply. The town council of Churubusco awarded the contract for a new’ water works system, and the contractors, relying on the statement that an abundant water supply could be obtained from wells drilled anywhere, built a power house, installed expensive machinery and made all pipe connections before drilling the wells. Three wells were sunk, but all are dry, and now the council proposes to put an electric motor to pump water from a distant, stream to the pump house. Business men have retained attorneys to stop the work. Find Poison in the Sauiage, An attempt to poison the family of Willard Bottorff, a wealthy farmer living north of New Albany, was discovered recently. Mr. Bottorff made a quantity of sausage and sent part of it to a relative, John Beggs, as a present. "When opened it smelled sour and a quantity was given to a dog and a cat. The animals died almost instantly in great agony. An investigation proved that the sausage was covered with strychnine. Bottorff was at once notified and the lives of his family saved. Within Our Borders. Terre Haute is reaching out after a tin mill plant. A female brass band is one of the institutions Waterloo is proud of. A co-operative company for the manufacture of window glass will be located at Daleville. Samuel Musser, Morgan County’s oldest citizen, died near Waverly. He was born April 14, 1799, in Virginia. A horse, which for many years has done duty at the Indiana reform school, recently died at the age of 30 years. Rev. Henry C. F. Ewers, a retired Lutheran minister, dropped dead at his home in Fort Wayne of heart disease. A company which proposes to build an electric railroad between Indianapolis and Logansport has been' incorporated. The jail at Summitville burned and Fred Borlin of Anderson, who had been incarcerated for drunkenness, perished. Will A. Jackson, until recently a large manufacturer of carriages, committed suicide at Goshen by hanging. No motive is assigned. The Christian organizations of Elwood are receiving donations looking to the establishment of a home for friendless women in that city. Frank Spindler, the locomotive fireman who was scalded in the locomotive explosion on the Evansville and Terre Haute road, died at Evansville. John H. Carter, 11410 has been in the dry goods and grocery business at Matthews for thirty years, sold out to Ralph Sutton of Hartford City. Orders were telegraphed from Washington recently to Postmaster Spaugh of Hope, to put on an additional carrier for free rural mail in Hawcreek township. Katherine Vannest, one of the first women settlers of Vermilion County and daughter of the first white woman who. crossed the Wabash river north of Fort Harrison, was buried at Clinton the other day.„ Mrs. V rmnest was 86 years old. George Knight, senior member of the firm of Knight & Knight of Zanesville, reported to the health officers at Fort Wayne that in two weeks hog cholera killed off between 1,500 and 2,000 hogs within a radius of three miles of his place. The body of Peter Vanderweit was found under the bridge of the Chicago Terminal Transfgj Railway at Ham-_ mdnm Accompanied by fieorge Devnes the young man had left home and skated down the river to West Hammond, IJlc, where the ice gave way. DevricS escaped, but Vanderweit was drowned. The wool growers of the State have elected the following officers: President, W. A. Guthrie, Dupont; vice-president, Sidney Conger, Waldron; secretary, J.

Brazil is being asked to vote a subsidy of $40,000 to a new big steel plant. A peculiar accident happened to a Monon passenger engine at Crawfordsville. The whistle got turned around some way and, striking the water tank pipe, it was broken off and shot back through the end of the baggage car. At a meeting of the board ot trustees of the State Normal School at Terre Haute, President Parsons was instructed to get bids for a fire escape for the new building. It was also decided to take oat an additional $48,000 insurance. The trustees are carrying $102,000, but the buildings cost $250,000 and the contents ar* yalosd at. $50,000.

NEW QUADRUPED DISCOVERED.

Tbngh-Skinued Animal Beaemblina an Ant-Eater Found Patagonia. In these latter days, when people are constantly hearing of the threatened extinction of various tribes of animals, the news of the discovery of an entirely new species of quadruped Is startling. The fact of the existence of a hitherto unfenown animal has been brought to light by Dr. Florentino Ameghino, who for some time past has had reports of a mysterious creature of nocturnal habits brought to him by several Indians, and a few years ago the late Rainon Lista, while hunting in the interior of Santa Cruz, was startled by the appearance of a strange animal, which he described to Dr. Ameghino “as a pangolin without scales, and covered with reddish hair.” Lista shot at the creature, but it was apparently bullet proof, for it disappeared into the brushwood, and although instant search was made no trace of the animal was to be found. As no further evidence was to be found, Dr. Ameghino was inclined to •think that the naturalist had been deceived; but he has just received a skin from Soutlf Patagonia which proves that Lista was correct in his statement. On examination the ossicles which were embedded in the skin, "like paving stones in a street,” proved that the animal evidently belonged to the pangolins or scaled ant-eaters, familiar to naturalists, but instead of being scaly It is covered with coarse, reddish gray hair, while the skin itself, which is two centimeters thick, is so remarkably tough that it can only be cut with a hatchet. This explains why the bullet had no effect upon it. —London Mail.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.

[A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.] A woman with the blues is a very uncomfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as “ the blues,” nearly always, with women, results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nervousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn’t understand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass. r to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough common sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman' of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. 8. Bennett, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the following letter: “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—l have suffered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped. “I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than 1 have had for the past ten years. I wish to say to all distressed, suffering women, do not suffer longer, when there is one so kind and willing to aid you.” Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a woman's remedy for woman’s ills. More than a million women have been benefited by it

A Discontented Hangman.

One of Australia’s ablest hangmen went on strike for increased salary a couple of weeks ago. He had somewhere picked up the rates of pay which man-butchers get in other countries (in France the executioner gets £3OO a year; and he protested against playing the blackleg any longer. He was persuasively talked over, however, and the strike Is off. —Sidney Bulletin. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, t A COUICTY ’ ••• Frank J.

A Bit of Spite.

M. Trouillot, late French minister for the colonies, has been the victim of a queer bit of spite, the barristers of his district having disbarred him by virtue of a forgotten law that forbids any lawyer from accepting a salaried position. As the French ministers are all paid officials, and many of them lawyers, a general application of the law would be disastrous.

THE 18-YEAR-OLD BROTHER.

He Needs Frequent Large Doses of Commendation from Hie Sister. Your brother is not particularly handsome, and now that he Is 18 years old you cannot deny that he is awkward, says the Ladles’ Home Journal. He suggests to you a shape not unlike that of a spider, for he seems principally arms and legs, while he has wonderful ability In the way of stumbling when he ought to walk straight. The girl who tries to do right should be quick enough to realize that to make her brother more at ease in the general world she must clear from his mind any ideas he may have as to his own lack of beauty or grace. The boy of 18 usually needs a good dose of commendation, or else he believes that everybody is banded to scoff at him. When he is introduced to a strange girl he doesn’t know what to say, and ye| she is a pretty girl, for she stands and looks at him and seems to convict him of being out of place, while he wishes that he were at' home. He wishes again that he hadn’t come to the party and he is about as awkwardlooking ami as unhappy as any boy of his age can be. The belle of the room gets rid of him with a great quickness, and he realizes that she is laughing at him as he sees her chatting and smiling with an older man. Then he grows bitter. This is the time that his sister needs to bring all her sweet influence to bear upon him. She can ask her partner to take her over to her brother, and politely excuse herself as being engaged to her brother for the dance or promenade. She can make him grow to believe In himself, and soon may present him to some girl, less beautiful, perhaps, than the other, but one who knows how to encouragp and make happy another girl’s brothdr, because she has a brother and knows how tender the feelings of a boy are and how easily wounded.

His Ability Proved.

“What does he know about finances? I don’t see why we should accept him as our candidate. He’s never had any practical experience in business affairs.” “Perhaps he doesn’t know anything about business, but he’s an able financier all the same. He spent $5,000 getting elected to a $1,500-a-year office Once and came out a rich man.”
