How Enola Got Its Name. Enola, the famous Pennsylvania railroad yard on the west branch of the Susquehanna, got its name In a strange way. A telegraph operator who spent the lonely hours in the little watch box, with no more than half a dozen trains a day to disturb him or break the monotony, before the big yard was built, called up the Baltimore office and asked to be relieved from such a lonesome place. In sending the message he signed “operator in charge of the tower all alone.” There was some trouble on the wire and the last word could not be understoon. He was asked to repeat and then to spell it backward. This he did, first “alone,” then “Enola.” In this way the town, which was built to order tn a little more than two years, got its name.

What Was Lacking.

A man who had served two terms in congress was making a campaign sot a third term. In the Course of a speech in the town ball at Broomconi Junction, a village near the furthei boundary of his district, he said: "It is true, fellow citizens, that 1 have not always been able to do as much as I should like to do in the matter of Internal improvements in this district, but I have never lost sight of your interests for a single moment. You have no idea of the ob stacles that He in the way of a con gressman who tries to secure appro priatlons for public buildings, the improvement of navigable streams and the like for the benefit of his constituents, but I have labored constantly (n your behalf to the very best of my “We know it!” shouted an old farmer in the audience. “That's why we want an abler man."—Youth’s Com panion.

Tinfoil Valuable. Several of the best-known choco late manufacturers on the continent are advising customers not to throw away the tinfoil in which the chocolate is enveloped, but to keep it until called for by an agent, who will gladly pay the market price for it. The present high price of tin is due to the action of English and Dutch speculators, who have forced it far beyond its actual value. The chocolate Industry in Europe spends nearly $4,000,000 annually for tinfoil, which Is generally thrown to the winds.

Big 7 ,Stock Sale at Newland, Jasper County. ' If you are looking for a good horse or mule, for a cow, some sheep or some pigs, It will pay you to go many miles to attend the big sale Ed Oliver will hold at Newland, in Jasper County, on Thursday, March sth.

He has 50 head of horses and mules, including some extra good young stock, 18 head of cattle, 45 sheep, 40 brood sows, and some other stock and some harness.

Peetz, husband of the editress of the Monon News, has recently been notified that he had received a federal appointment inWashjngton.but he has by no means withdrawn from the race for the republican nomination for state statistician.

Peppermint will be one of the leading crops in the Kankakee marshes next season. The quantity of oil produced from each acre of plants averages 80 z pounds and is worth from 75 cents to $1.25 a pound, according to quality.

Samuel Voorhees, one of the three saloon keepers at Flora recently defeated by the remonstrance method, has climbed on the “water wagon."

B Thieves are camping on the trail of the motorists tn the New York to Paris race, and at Wawaka, Ind.,they took repairs and equipment to the value of >750 from the French machine.

Souvenir hunters is a name applied by some of the thieves who dismantle the cars, but this is a very mild term.
