proverbs “ When the butter won’t c6me put a penny in the churn,” is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give thsm Scott’s Emulsion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. * Scott’s Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children because it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott’s Emulsion is the most satisfactory treatment the penny, a ■ample free. tfcat tM> alctw* fa wrapper •( (vary bottle at SaM&MSMbay.

Many dead fish are reported along the Kankakee ditches, mostly pickerel, carp and dog fish, and still fish are being caught through the ice with hookp and line. It is expected that the pickerel, so numerous there last summer and fall, are there still and that the angling will be fine again when the season opens in May. « This last day of February the ground is bare of snow and nearly free of frost. The song-sparrows are frequently, and the robbins and blue birds, occasionally seen or beard. It looks indeed like spring might be not far off; yet rash is the man or bird who prophecies at the front end of March, what its middle or its final may bring forth. Delos Thompson who sold his bay driving team at a big horse sale at Wabash, last week, has bought of Ed Hawkins, at Earl Park, another fine hone, for driving purposes.

Constable Vick was in official action up about Kersey, yesterday, namely serving papers of eviction on one of B. J. Gifford’s recalcitrant tenants; and while journeying along he oame close to a W flock of wild geese sitting in a field. They were early birds, but probably catching more late oom than early worms. Be that as it may,*, when they took to flight soared by Christie’s hungry looks, they seemed to him as big and fat as stall fed steers. But Christie had no warrant for wild geese, nor scatter gun either.

Judge Hanley beard an application in chambers, today for a restraining order. It was from Newton county, and the order wanted Was to restrain the auditor of-Hmt-uounty=selling the ronstrudtidhofthe Tolan ditch”. The order was granted until March 12th.

Owen who has been living over in Newton Co , near Julian, was in town over night, on hie way to a farm over near Medaryville. owned by himself and his father, and which he will occupy hereafter. To illustrate the con* dition oT the r ‘dirt” roads now, (mud roads rather) he had a broad tire wagon drawn by four horses, and loaded only with an empty hay rack and a buggy, yet it was a tough journey to get here in one day. According to all accounts there is a pretty tough joint near Kersey. It is stated, for instance, that three young boys, all way under age, got very drunk there some time recently, and that one of them fell helpless in going home, and it took the doctors two days to get him up again. Also that bums from DeMotte and other places, where the saloons are closed Sundays, are in the habit of congregating at the Kersey place and boozing the day away. Bruce Hardy and Billy Smith got along with their patient, Dr. Jones, the best kind, on their trip to the asylum, Friday. He had conceived the idea that he was to be taken to Michigan City, which was the cause of his reluctance to start, and though the idea was wrong, the reluctance was entirely rational. But when the matter was explained, and the asylum reception papers shown, he was very willing to go, and not only did not make any trouble or objections, but was the life of the journey, by his jovial talk and jolly tales. He was also well pleased at the appearance of things at the asylum. His sensible demeanor, and many gleams of rationality give good grounds to hope that the rest and treatment at the asylum will soon restore him to full mental health again.

membered as a repulsive brute, yith whom even convicts would have nothing to do. The Kenton and Keever South Dakota exodus took place this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Keever took the train here, and the Kenton family at Surrey. In the latter party there were eight persons. Namely, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

An exchange says that the people who need religion are: The man who lets his horse stand out in the cold all day without a blanket on; the man who growls like a wild beast when his wife asks him for money; the woman who is not what she ought to be; the minister Whole looking for an easier plaoe and a higher salary; the man who walks the streets with his hands in his pockets, while his wife carries the baby; the man who keeps a clog and says he'oan’t afford to take the home paper.

The editor of the Crown Point Stir laments, or rejoices, we are not sure which, over the fact that for 25 years he has been prophesying ever winter that some of the kids who jump bobsleds will be smashed up, bat never a one of them has been smashed. And now the kids of the first kids he warned are pursuing the same amusements, from all of which he sagely concludes that newspaper editors do not always know as much as they think they do. But when a man has once arrived at the conclusion that he don’t know everything, it is a very good indication that he ; has at last begun to know something-
