A Very Young Anther.

Probably the younge t person inr' the literary arena is Helen Sharpe, an Indianapolis girl only twelve years old. She has had several short storiespublished, and a bock, “Sparkles Irons a Child’s Peii,” Is being published now. It consists of thirteen selections of poetry and prose, and Is illustrated by the author herself, who is also something of an artist. Jama* Whitcomb Riley has commented quite highly on her work and seems to think she is a genius, who should be encouraged. If you pay more than 17c a Ift for your cheese you are paying too much. We will sell you the best full cream cheese made at 17 centsa pound. JOHN EGER, A number of people were given ar ride today in William Washbum’s new Cadillac automobile. It is a fine car, being suited for five passengers and propelled by a 30-horse power engine. Dr. Kressler has been driving the car, and will, it is understood, be the local agent tor them. He expects to get himself one next spring. Joe Scheurlch had three heads of steers killed Thanksgiving morning by a Monon passenger train. They had broken out of bis pasture, it is said, and were caught on the track near the maple grove. They were cut all to pieces, but it is not known what train struck them. It would seem Impossible that a train could hit three head of steers and pass over them as often as was done in this instance and the trainmen not know: about it, but rcne reported this circumstance, and it Is not known which train did the killing.
