Now the prophets can predict that the earth and its people are to be drowned again. The prophets have a hard time trying to keep pace with nature.

Made Big Wages By Shortening the Rows of Corn. Fletcher Monnett has a large force of boys and men from town hoeing corn at his farm. Last week he had a larger force but about twenty of the boys went on a strike. They were paid 50 cents a row for their work and were making $4 or $5 per day until their manner of doing the work was discovered and then the trouble commenced. The rows of corn were long and the men found a way to make them shorter. They would start in at one end and after hoeing a short distance they would skip the middle of the row and finish hoeing the other end. When Mr. Monnett discovered the manner in which the Work was being performed he transfered the men to another field where the rows were longer and reduced the pay to 40 cents per row. The men would not stand for that and marched to town in military fashion with their hoes oyer their shoulders. Their places have been filled and the weed annihilation goes merrily on. Mr. Monnett has a large acreage of corn in this year and has had to depend on hired help entirely to take care of the crop. The scarcity of labor and frequent rains have given the weeds a start and he ha 3 had to depend on the hoe brigade as a last resort. It is reported that he has been paying out SIOO per day for labor for several weeks.

Notice. We desire to express our gratitude to the people of Rensselaer for thoughtful attention, and kindness so generously, bestowed during the illness and last rites of our dear wife and sister. May we all, as she did, enjoy that peace which surpasseth understanding. Here follows the message that she leaves: Loving friends; be wise and dry straightway every weeping eye; What you left upon the bier is not worth a single tear; ’Tis a simple sea-shell, one out of which the pearl is gone. The shell was nothing, leave it there; The pearl—the soul—was all, is here. Geo. W. Goff. Mr. and Mrs. T. Sigler.

Barber Shops and Ice Cream Parlors in Connection.

Our last Information of combination of barber shops and ice cream parlors comes from Roselawn, Newton county. Our correspondent says: The saloons having been recently removed from our little town, the saloon keepers have gone into the soft drink business. It is said that some of these soft drinks are getting ‘sorta’ hard. One ex-saloonkeeper, who now Has a soft drink parlor, sells ice cream by the dish in connection therewith, and has decided to put a barber shop in the front part of the room. Many of us plain citizens do not think this would be proper and right, and ask information whether or not the state sanitary laws would prohibit?” The law certainly does forbid such conditions. The 66th General Assembly passed a law which is entitled “The Sanitation of Food-pro-ducing Establishments.” This statute covers the subject, for it clearly forbids any such industry as hair-cut-ting, shampooing and cleaning of the human body to exist in conjunction with food providing establishments.— Indiana State Board of Health Bulletin. 2 . . . . *.—

THE LUCK OF BEN ABBAS.

(Concluded from Page Seven.)

turning, she moved swiftly to her dressing room. As for Ben Abbas, there was a moment of stupefaction before he quite understood. But it was only for a moment. The thought of her beauty smote him and raised an agony in his heart. The little blue devils came trooping back, and, sinking on one of the trunks, he surrendered to them. Sitting there in the tattered motley of Mephisto, the glamor and the triumph gone, the familiar, softened voice of the stage manager sounded in his ears, telling him that Perhans was dead. He was the best actor of the lot, so he paused for dramatic effect, then added that Ben Abbas was to have the dead man's role. But Ben Abbas did not heed him for Ben Abbas did not care.— Ethelbert Mounte. A forfeit of $5,000 was posted Saturday by the Mission Athletic club for a twenty round fight in San Francisco between Stanley Ketchell and Sam Langford some time in August.
