PREVENTIVE OF MOSQUITOS.

Under the Circumstances They Caused No Annoyance. A Kentucky Congressman tells of a Louisville man rather Well-known throughout the State for his convivial qualities who last summer visited a friend living In a town on the lower Mississippi. He took with him his servant, a faithful old negro of seventy years. The morning after the arrival of the Louisville man, his host, who had risen a little earlier than usual, encountered the colored man walking about grounds. “I hope your master wasn’t annoyed by the mosquitos,” observed the head of the place. "I’m sorry to say they’re pretty bad Just now.” “Oh no, sah!” cheerfully responded the servant. "Las’ evenin’ Marse John when he went to bed was so lntoxercated he don’t mind de skeeters at all, an’ dls mornin' de skeeters Is so lntoxercated dey don’t c mfnd Marse John.”

His Higher Power.

Senator Gorman was talking about a statesman whose great talents are coupled with an unusual mildness and gentleness of disposition. “Poor fellow,” Bald Senator Gorman. "His wife henpecks him. When he was Governor, he had a page boy who stole some postage stamps, and the Governor, in his gentle way, set out to give him a little religious admonition. “ ‘Willie,’ he Bald, ’don’t you know that there is a higher power- always watching us?” ‘“’Yes, sir,’ said the page. “ ’Who Is it,’ the Governor went on, ‘who sees and hears all we do, and before whom even T am as a worm?’ “ 'The missus, sir,’ said Willie.”

The New Baby.

TheMother—lsn’t he just perfect? The Father —Great kid! The Uncle—What! Another? The Aunt (on the mother’s side) —He favors all of ns. The Aunt (on the father’s side) —He favors all of us! The Nurse—He’s a poor sleeper. The Bachelor Friend—l’m sorry for them. The Cook —He’s a darlint! (I’ll give ’em notice to-morrow!) The Doctor—Shall I charge SSO or $100? The Cynic-—Well, It Isn’t his fault. The Clergyman—Another soul. The Milkman—Another customer. —T. M., in Life.

MANY LIKE HIM.

“What kind of a fellow is he?” “The kind that wears good clothes only on Sunday.”

Insulting Man.

‘‘Julia! Julia!” called the woman from her dressing room. “What do you want, dear?” answered her husband,from his smoking room. “Why, I want Julia to come to me. I was to have my hair washed today.” “Well, I guess Julia’s attending to it. , I just saw her going down to the laundry and she had a bundle in her hands.”—Yonkers Statesman.

Word From Bre’r Williams.

Some folks paint old Satan so black dey can’t locate him on a dark night. De brightness er dls ole worl v gives some folks uncomfortable thoughts er de hereafter. Es salvation wuzn’t free ever’body would be makln’ a big rush fer it—so’s ter corner de market.—Atlanta Constitution.

Plausible Theory.

i “People who live in glass houses Bhould not throw stones, ” quoted the man with the proverb habit. "Neither should pegple who dwell In stone houses throw glasses,” rejoined the fussy person, “and I suppose that’s why tlncups are given to the sheriff’s boarders.”

John Doe.

"This John Dod* must be a turrlble bad feller,” mused Maw Hoptoad; “he’s alius in trouble. I see he’s been indicted again out in Oregon. I wonder where he lives when he’s to home?” “I expect he lives in Effigy,” chuckled the Paw Hoptoad, “the place where so many people are hung.”—Houston Chronicle.

The Unpleasant Result.

A young man advertised for a wife and his sister answered the advertisement; and the young man thinks there is no balm In.advertisements, and the old people think it pretty hard to have two fools In one family. —American Hebrew.

NAN'S PROPOSAL.

The first time I proposed to Nan Preston she made a face almost as Ugly as a water-spouting gargoyle leering from some old cathedral. She sat straddlewise upon the whitewashed orchard fence, gobbling forbidden June apples, while I looked up from • the grass-grown path. “Please say yes, Nan,” I pleaded, "and I will let you sail my toy boat.” “Huh!” said Nan. “I’m going to marry a prince. I always said I would, and I will!” “Don’t Nan —don’t say that!” I entreated, stung to the heart. Nan’s blue eyes softened. Don’t take It that way, Billy,’’ she soothed. "Think how long before the prince comes.” She slapped her pink-trimmed sailor upon her yellow curls and took my hand. “Let’s go sail the ‘Saucy Ellen’ upon the fish pond, Billy—you and I —what fun!’’ And of course I went. I should say that I proposed to Nan as much as twice a year after that. But she hung on to that idea of the prince with maddening stubbornness. When Nan was 18 she “came out.” She was a trifle nervous and very kind, not dragging in her Prince of Fancy at my first hot declaration of love; but only smiling and! shaking her dainty head. “Is it the prince,” I accused, in sharp disappointment. "You’ll wait for him till doomsday.” “I will indeed, promised Nan, very firmly; and I strolled out beneath the dim lanterns and flirted recklessly. But at last Nan’s Prince-o’-Dreoms came. He was a little dapper Russian, with a name as long as time and ending in “Popoloffsky.” I sulked for a spell; and Nan and the prince drove and walked almost hourly Finally there came the night of the Preston’s lawn fete .in honor of His Highness of Popoloffsky, and it was generally understood that the announcement would be made. I caught glimpses of Nan, flitting here and there beneath the lanterns; and the freshness of her and the sweetness of her brought all the recollections of the years back upon me. It was hard to give her up. At 10 o’clock I made to depart, and sought for Nan. I could not find her until at last the silvery ripple of her laugh came to me, and I saw her hidden away in a leafy noon with Paul of Little Russia. I had to tell her goodby, and I made for her the greenish bower. My approach was not observed and. as I entered the little arbor, the prince was saying: “My heart —my title —my hand — everything is yours. Will you not say the one word —yes?” Nan’s cheeks were very red. I could not see her eyes. She opened her mouth —to speak I know not what. I could not stand the spectacle and I broke in like a frantic child. “Nan—oh, Nan —I cannot live without you. For the twenty-fourth time I ask it —marry me —won’t you please, Nan?” The prince shrinked; but Nan drew back with a little startled cry and began to weep softly. “Yes,” said Nan; and put her filmy handkerchief, to her blue eyes. I put my arms about her, and Prince Paul strode out of the bower of romance, to sail next day for his fatherland. And only yesterday, when I asked Nan why she never married a prince, she told me that her “Yes” tuat night was for Paul Popoloffsky. But I don’t believe it —do you?

A Victim.

Horace Bixey, the doyen of Mississippi pilots, is still at the wheel at 82. To him Mark Twain served his apprenticeship. A Vicksburg reporter asked Mr. Bixey a recipe for a hale old age. “Temperance, young man," the pilot replied. “Intemperance is what kills us off. Oh, the victims,’,’ he said, in his whimsical way, “the sad victims of intemperance I have seen! “Once, I remember, a passenger of ours fell overboard. We fished him out with a boathook after he had been soaking on the bottom half an hour or so. We laid him limp and sopping on the deck, and a Bteward ran for the whiskey bottle. “As I pried the man’s mouth open to pour some whiskey down his throat his lips moved. A kind of murmur came from them. I put my ear down close to listen, and I heard the halfdrowned wretch say: “ ’Roll mo on a bar’l fust to git some o’ this water out It’ll weaken the licker.’ ’’ —Washington Star.

She Wasn’t That Sort.

The rich bachelor sighed and looked at the beautiful girl fixedly. Then he spoke: “Things are at sixes and sevens with me. I feel the great need of a woman in my home —one who could straighten out my tangled affairs, and make life worth living again.’’ Her glance spoke an interest which approximated expectation. “Yes?” she queried softly. “Do you know of any good, ablebodied woman whom I could get to clean house?

All For a Quarter.

"This quarter doesn't sound right, l ’ said the smart clerk, ringing the coin on the counter. "Huh,” growled the customer. "What do you want for a quarter, any way? An opera solo with an orchestra accompaniment?"

Each year the Fourth is or should be celebrated more and more on the picnic order, instead of one continuous round of dynamite explosions that is sure to result in the loss of hands, arms, eyes and in many cases cost innocent lives. Trains Nos. 5 and 6 were stopped at McCoysburg Saturday and several people took advantage of it and went to Monticello to the celebration. Some accompanied the McCoysburg ball team to Fair Oaks where the two teams played for a $25 purse. Ambrose Blasdel, of Broad Ripple, who bought the 80 acre farm where Simon Parcels lived last year, is here now keeping bachelor’s hall and looking after his farm. He has rented the land to some neighbors this year and will not move his family here before next year, as the house will have to be thoroughly overhauled this fall. Tom Stroup and his brother-in-law, of near Wolcott, R. L. Bussell and family and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bussell and two daughters, Florence and Ella spent Monday picnicing on the Kankakee river and in fact all along the road, as the train was sent out as a picnic excursion and stopper anywhere the parties desired to stay and look awhile.
