WHERE COLLARS DON'T WILT
I Summer in Mexico Seems Like Winter to a United States Visitor. "Yes, yes, thia is summer, that la, the Americans call it summer,” said the American resident to the ‘tourists’ as they slipped into light overcoats preparatory to leaving the opera house after the play, “but of course you should understand that -we do not call it summer because it is hot here. You see, about the time of the year when a dozen persons a day drop dead in New York we begin to call it summer in Mexico City. Just what the connection is has never been explained, but I am telling you the facts and leaving you to evolve the theories for yourself.” “I see.” said the tourists, as they put on gloves and walked out. And so it is in truth. Summer in Mexico City is that season of the year when the press despatches printed on a cool sunshiny, morning in Mexico tell of prostrations from heat in the United States, says the Mexican Herald. While the overcoat feels very comfortable In the early morning and an hour or so after the sun has gone down in the evening it is not exactly necessary. One could get on without it. Those who wear overcoats usually have light spring garments. A heavy suit of clothes Is always comfortable In Mexico and there is no good reason for not wearing heavy underwear unless you do not like it, and then you can suit your other clothes to effect a proper balance. The laundryman if he were foolish enough to have any literary inclinations could tell eloquently of how few wilted collars he gets In Mexico. Only a few days ago there was a very jolly dance at the Country club, and a feature of the evening was a large roaring fire of logs in the spacious fireplace at one end of the hall, and here the merrymakers gathered to enjoy the warmth ’tween dances. There are some fireplaces in the private houses of Mexico and they are frequently used during the summer early in the morning and during the evening. But the cold is never extreme, neither is it accompanied by storms or wind or heavy rains. Figures are not very expressive, but did you ever get up and dregs in a hurry because you felt better as you got more clothes on and yet did not suffer; then go down and eat a large breakfast, relishing such foods as ham or bacon and eggs, and walk briskly out picking out the sunny side of the street and feeling as if you would enjoy running a block or two just to work off excess energy? Well, that is the effect of summer in Mexico City and it explains about as well as the figures. ' There are a few persons in the United States who know that and there are several million who don’t know it and probably will not find it out until some one gets them by the ear and heads them (not gently) down to the exact spot on a morning when the weather fits all the plans and specifications because the .weather man, much to the delight of the populace, is rather slow about making any changes.
But there is some excuse for the American. His geography teacher came from a country town, the chances are, for there are more country, towns than cities in the United States, as in any other country, and she told him probably twenty years ago, in the days of his youth, what she learned out of a book ten years before and the book may have been printed ten years before that ~by some one who was willing to take a long guess about the country below the Rio Grande because he was fright ened about what he had heard of the country a decade or so before the time he thought of publishing the book. And the American knows that the further south he goes in his own country the warmer the weather is, and the longer the summer. He also knows that it is so hot along the Rio Grande on the American side that a certain American army officer who was oncy marching across that country remarked that if he “owned hell and Te: is he would rent Texas and live In hell.” And why should it not continue to get better as you go down, says the American. Why, the altitude and the mountains. Oh, yes, I had not thought of that
Mechanical Violin.
“The mechanical orchestra has a new recruit. The piano, mandolin, guitar and banjo are comparatively old members, and they have all Improved since they first made their appearance,” says Flgarp. Now comes the violin. On the Instrument a keyboard Is arranged having dozen* of fingers where the human player would have but five. In place of the txYw there are a dozen movable disks, and these as well as the keys which take the place of the player’s left hand aYe operated by small electric motors. Solos and duets are equally easy for the mechanical violin, and It executes the compositions of a Paganini as easily as the exercises of a beginner. The violin-player Is the Invention of a Frenchman, who seems to have conquered everything except the question of price. The small but Intricate piece of mechanism can onw be sold for no less than 5,000 francs.” Sfxteeh ounces of gold be sufficient to gild * wire that would' encircle the earth.'
The Need of An Election In Jasper County,
Certain misguided and misinformed individuals in an effort to discredit and oppose the local option election, are making the assertion that there is no need of an election on account of the fact that Jasper county is already. “dry by remonstrance.” It is true that there are no saloons in the county at present but it is also true that only three townships in the county are fully protected by remonstrances. There are no remonstrances on file to prevent the opening of saloons within the next sixty days in the townships of Carpenter, Jordan, Milroy, Hanging Grove, Gillam, Barkley, Newton and Kankakee and the second and third wards of the City of Rensselaer. The laws of Indiana provide a way in which every voter has an opportunity to express his preference for or against the licensed saloon and the cost of deciding the matter is dlstributed among all the tax pavers instead of being imposed upon a few in each ward or township. It is safe to assume that the person who argues against the election on the ground that the county might be made dry by remonstrance, never had any experience in circulating a remonstrance and has no idea of the time and labor that is required to procure the necessary signatures. "Knockers” of the election will usually be found to have been “dodgers” when they had an opportunity to remonstrate.
Dray Hit By Auto; Auto Suffers Damage.
A lesson to automobile owners. Don’t try to rufi over the city dray. Strangers were in Rensselaer Monday with an automobile. As they dashed past Everet Warren’s dray and his horses shied off to the side of the road they enjoyed a great laugh. Shortly afterward Everet had loaded a piano and was taking it to Fred Phillips’ store. He was at the Chicago Bargain Store corner when the big auto approached from the rear. He kept his eyes on his team and apprehended no danger when there was a collision from the rear and his dray lunged forward on the horses heels and the piano gave a lurch that almost threw it off the dray. He looked back and saw the auto standing still a few feet behind with the lamps and front badly damaged. He thought it was his time to laugh and he laughed. It was a case of he who laughs last laughs best. The driver and his companion had no laugh coming. Just how it happened no’one could explain unless the driver, had been rubbering at some of Rensselaer’s pretty girls and lost control of the machine. The dray was uninjured.
Squire M. P. Comer Holds Court In Barkley Township.
Squire M. P.Comer w-case “occasionally in Barkley township, and he was the judge in a case last week that involved the point of law as to whether or not a man is legally responsible for debts contracted before he had attained his majority. The case was that of James Wiseman, the Aix store keeper, vs. Abner Garriott, wherein the former sued the latter for $10.30, which account he alleged had been standing for some eight years. Mr. Wiseman was not represented by counsel but Garriott had employed Attorney E. P. Honan. The trial was before a jury of six men, and Garriott proved that he was only 18 years of age he contracted the debt and thus not financially responsible, so the jury found for Garriott, and Wiseman will fall for the trial costs, amounting to about S2O. The law is just about as expensive in Barkley township as any place else, and just about as “on sartain.”
“One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin.”
When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something exceptionally good—he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery, this is the touch of nature that makes the whole wogjd kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for publication, that others similarly ailing may also use It /md obtain relief. Behind every one of these letter* Is a warm hearted wish of the writer to be of use to someone else. This remedy is for sale Uy B. F. Fendig.

“Tip” had his leg broken last Friday by/ getting in front of Dr. C. E. Broad’s horse. Who is “Tip”? you ask. He is the bull terrier dog owned by Rural Mail Carrier E. E. Ragon, with whom he has made his daily rounds for more than six years, missing but very few trips in that time. His weekly stunt is 156 miles, which equals 8112 miles in a year and nearly 50,000 miles since hd has been performing his self-imposed task, which he enjoys in the highest degree. He without doubt holds the world’s record for dog travel. He is now going around on three legs with his broken leg done up in splints but will soon be ready for his dally rounds again.— Lowell Tribune.
