A Suco [?]fu[?] Farmer.

Within three miles c‘ the town, going eastward, is the farm of Mr. W. Creamer, one of the municipality’* largest and most prosperous mixed farmers. Mr. Creamer came to this country in 1880 and settled on a portion of the land which comprises his present enormous farm of 1,280 acre*. In common with many others of * similar period he experienced all the hardships and difficulties common to the absence of railway and market facilities. In nowise daunted, by energy, industry and Indomitable will he has been able to surmount all obstacles and has achieved an unparalleled success, and is known throughout the district as one of its pre-eminent farmers. His operations extend over 1,280 acres, two sections (the thought alone of so much land makes the Eastern farmer dizzy); 800 acres of this Is broken and the remainder is excellent pasture land and wood. This harvest be took off a crop of 500 acres of wheat and 200 of other grains. Four hundred acres are plowed and ready for wheat next spring. Mr. Creamer Is, as has been stated, a mixed farmer of no mean proportions, having at the present time 40 horses, 00 head of cattle and 50 pigs, i The most modern farm buildings are found on his premises, the main building being a barn 55 feet square on a stone foundation, containing stabling for 16 horses and a large number of cattle. The ioft is stored with 29 loads of sheaf oats for feed and tons of hay; there is also a cutting box. Another building of large dimensions Is “the granary, in which, after teaming large quantities to market, he-still has stored 3,000 bushels of wheat. A crushing machine is in the building. There are a number of lesser buildings containing „ chicken house, pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm residence is a bandsome frame structure of ample proportions, in connection with it is a wood shed. The water supply is unexcelled: besides house supply there Is a well in the stables and a never failing spring situated In a bluff, which nevqr freezes. Surrounded by a thick blfiff of poplars, extending in a semi-circle to the west, north and east, the winter storms are broken and accumulation of snow unknown. Added to his farming operations, Mr. Creamer conducts a threshing outfit for the season. Hbs success is an Instance of what can be accomplished in Western Canada.— Baldur (Man.) Gazette, Nov. 16, 1899. Thousands of settlers are going from the United States to take advantage of the free homestead lands that are being offered by the Canadian Government.

Women of Sumatra.

If the native women of Sumatra have their knees properly covered the rest does not matter. The natives of some Islands off the coast of Guinea wear clothes only when they are going on a journey. Some Indians of Venezuela are ashamed to wear clothes before strangers, as it seems indecent to them to appear unpainted.

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

RECORD OF EVENTS OF THR PAST WEEK. Almost Suffocated in a Beer Vault— Marion Girl Found" in an Ohio Convent— Diamonda Discovered in is Paper Mill—Children Barn to Death. Sonuey McWilliams, the oldest hotel porter iu Muncie, who has amassed a snug sum from many years’ service at the Kirby hotel, had a close call for his life the other night. He entered the beer cooler under the barroom in the hotel. The dOor was mysteriously slatterned shut. It locked from the outside, and there seemed no possible means of escape from suffocation. McWilliams knelt and began a prayer when the thought struck him that if the beer was shut off an investigation might bring relief. With a mallet he pounded flat the lead pipes connecting the beer counter with the kegs, and shortly the door was opened. McWilliams was nearly dead when found."

Disappeared Into a Convent. Miss Kittie O’Brien, a girl 17 years of age, disappeared from Marion Feb. 13, and no trace of her could be found by the officers. The friends of the girl have been searching for her and sent a detective to Columbus, Ohio, where he found her in a convent. Mrs. Lizzie O’Brien, the giri’s stepmother, was arrested on the charge of kidnaping and her son was also arrested at Crawfordsville on the same charge. It is the supposition that a love affair is the cause of the kidnaping. Found Many Stones in Tin Box. Dock Boine, a machine tender at the Hartford City paper mill, found in a bale of old papers which had been shipped from England a small tin box which contained thirty-one large brilliant stones, believed to be genuine diamonds. The box was wrapped in parchment, on the inside of which appeared the address: '•‘‘London office Paper Trade Journal, 440 Cannon street, London, England.” The stones are of various sizes and are believed to be worth a fabulous sum.

Two Children Burn to Death. Two children of William York, a farmers living six miles west of Mitchell, were burned to death while playing in a field of broom sedge. A farm hand was told to burn the sedge and after setting fire to one side discovered the children and warned them to run. In their flight one dropped her doll and both went back to get it. The fire overtook them and they were terribly burned, both dying a few hours later.

New Church at Vincennes, Ind. The magnificent new stone church in Vincennes, just completed by the Methodists, was dedicated with imposing ser--1 Vices by Bishop McCabe, assisted by Bishop Moore, editor of the Advocate.

Fighting intelligence.

Oa the battlefield nowaday* It I* only when men come to the bayonet charge that they fight shoulder to shoulder. In order to minimize the risk of their being hit the men fighting are at other times kept a distance apart. Thus the bullet that just misses oneman does not strike his neighbor. The order being so open, and the men thus spread out over a considerable extent of ground, it sometimes happens, especially when—as in the present war—many officers are killed, that a number of men find themselves without any commander. But the modern soldier has enough “fighting intelligence,” as It is called, to go on carrying out operations till he again has a leader. In battle the men under various commanders often get thoroughly mixed up; but that has no effect on them. They instinctively obey any commander; and in South Africa it has recently occurred that soldiers have fought gallantly under officers whom they never in their lives saw before.

England’s Armored Trains.

The magnificent armored trains used by England in her war with the Boers will protect her troops in about the same way that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters drives dyspepsia from the human stomach, and then mounts guard that it does not return. The Bitters has won in every ease of indigestion, constipation, liver and kidney trouble for fifty years.

Indorsing the Asp.

In Marmontel’s tragedy of Cleopatra, represented in the Theatre Francais, when the Egyptian queen was about ready to commit suicide, she held in her hands a mechanical .asp,oil cunning workmanship, devised by Vaucanson, the most ingenious mechanician of his time.

This venomous reptile reared its bead and. before plunging its appareht fangs Into the arm of the actress, gave a shrill hiss. A spectator hereupon arose and left the house, with the simple but expressive remark, “I am of the same opinion as the asp.”

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed Deafness U the result, and unless the inflammation can bs taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed -condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY A CO., Toledo, O.

How Mathews Paw[?]ed a Spoon.

Charles Mathews was well known among his friends and admirers for his remarkable powers of rapid imitation and characterization. He was invited once, with his manager and two others, to dine with a citizen, who, thongh be carried on-a pawnbrokering business, was an amusing fellow. It seems be kept but one assistant, and, during the dinner hour, the host was called out of the dining parlor, at the back of the shop, to attend a customer. Mathews, altering his hair, turning up bis collar and putting on another man’s hat—of course with suitable change of countenance—took a large silver gravy-spoon from the table, ran into the street, and entering one of the little boxes that universally shield one customer from another at pawnbrokers’ counters pledged to his unsuspecting host his own piece of plate, and returned to his place at table as the pawnbroker re-entered the room, unconscious of the Joke.
