HALF TRUE TALES OF STREET AND TOWN,

Stories by the Way. Man that is born of woman is small potatoes and few in a hill. He riseth up today and flourisheth like a ragweed and, tomorrow or next day the undertaker hath him. He goeth forth ip the morning warbling like a lark and is knocked out in one round and two seconds. In the midst of life he is in debt, and the tax -collector pursueth him wherever he goeth. » The banister of life is full of splinters and he slideth down with considerable rapidity. He cometh home at eventide and meeteth a wheelbarrow in hjs path. It riseth up and smiteth him to the earth and falleth upon him anprunneth one of its legs into his ear. In the gentle spring time he putteth on his summer clothes and a blizzard striketh him far from home and fllleth him with cuss words and rheumatism. He buys a watch dog and when he cometh home from the club the watch dog teeth him and sits near him until rosy morn. He goeth to the race course and betteth his money on the brown mare and the bay gelding with the blaze face wins. He marrieth a red header heiress and the next day the parent ancestor goeth under with a crash and great liabilities and cometh home to live with his beloved son-in-law. Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture was discussing, apropos of Decoration day, the work to which the soldier turned to the end of the civil war. “Many soldiers,” he said, “turned to farming. Some of our best fruit farms were started by old soldiers, who, finding their business gone at the war’s end, adopted a country life’s perforce. | “They made ingenious farmers. Here is an example. An lowa man employed a hoy to guard his strawberry patch from birds The berries —fancy fruit as big as peaches—kept disappearing and the man suspected the boy of eating them. “So one morning he came down to the patch, looked it over, and then said: “ ‘I know you don’t touch these berries, my lad, but Zeke says you do. Today I’ll test you—just to convince Zeke.’ “He took out a lump of chalk and pretended to chalk the boy’s lips; but really it was only his fingers he rubbed over them. “ ’Now,’ he said, ‘when I come down here this afternoon, we’ll see who’s right about you, Zeke or I.’ “And with pretended carelessness he tossed the chalk on the ground. On his return, some hours later, it was plain he was right. The boy’s lips were chalked with a white, stiff layer half an inch thick.” Very Witty. An intoxicated husband came into his house one night as the clock struck three. His wife, waiting for him, asked the eause of his staying out so late. He said: “It isn’t late,” and looking at his watch, told her it was only a quarttr of twelve. In a harsh tone she replie/T “ttV three o’clock.” His reply was: “Well, isn’t three a quarter of twelve?” The Waiter’s Order. Henry Ward Beecher delighted in telling what he experienced when he went into a Bowery restaurant on one occasion, and heard the water give such orders to the cook as “Ham and “Slops and Sinkers,” etc. "Watch me confound the waiter with an order which I believe he won’t abbreviate,” remarked Beecher, at length, as the waiter approached, then he said: “Give us poached eggs on toast, for two with the polks broken.” The waiter, who was equal to the emergency, walked to the end of the room, “Adam and Eve on a raft,” he yelled. Then he added: “Wreck ’em!” “Wby do you call that grafting politican “Corkscrew?” \ “Because, although he’s crooked he has a good pull.”

Ryan’s Quick Repartee.

Archbishop Patrick J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, is as famous as he is eloquent as a divine, and many are the stories told of his quick repartee. When Wayne McVeagh, former attorney General of the United States, was counsel for the Pennsylvania railroad he called upon the archbishop in company with Mr. Roberts, president of the Pennsylvania system. “Your grace,’’ said Mr. McVeagh, “Mr. Roberts, who always travels with his counsel, will no doubt get you passes on all railroads in the United States if in return you will get him a pass to paradise." •“I would do so gladly,” flashed the archbishop, “if it were not for separating him from his counsel." On one occasion Archbishop Ryan complained to a Philadelphia editor that one of his sermons had been badly reported. “I am sorry,” the editor responded, "but one of our best men, who is also a Catholic, did it.” “What is his name?" the prelate inquired. “Killpatrick," answered thd editor. “And he came mighty near doing it," was the archbishop’s final shot. Milo Kline, of North Webster, who escaped from the Kosciusko county jail on the night of December 26, 1908, was arrested in Noble county on Thursday and is now in jail at Warsaw, where he will serve 125 days for assault with Intent to kill.

KNIMAN GIRL SAVED

MISS ELLA O’CONNOR NARROWLY AVERTS DROWNING. Suffers Nervous Shock, She Falls From a Bridge Into a Dredge Ditch and Was Unconscious i When Rescued. Rensselaer people will be pleased to know that the Report circulated in the city this, Tuesday, morning that Miss Ella O’Connor, daughter of Exsheriff and Mrs. John O’Connor, of Kniman, was drowned, was without, foundation. About seven o’clock Monday night Miss O’Connor left her home at Kniman in company with a young gentleman friend and strolled over to a new dredge ditch about half a mile from the O’Connor home. A temporary bridge had been constructed across the ditch and the young couple sat down on the edge pf the bridge and watched a beautiful sunset and spent considerable time in conversation. About eight o’clock Miss O’Connor had a nervous shock and fell from the •bridge into four or five feet of water. The young man sprang to her rescue, and after risking his own life succeeded in getting the young lady to shore in safety, although she was in an unconscious condition. The young man, whose name we were unable to learn, notified residents of the vicinity and the young lady was taken to the home of her parents in a buggy, and Dr. L. N. Wells, of DeMotte, was summoned. The doctor arrived at the O’Connor home about 8:30 and it was not long until she had regained consciousness and today shows little signs of the danger she faced Monday.

The farmers are nearly through cutting oats. Amos Davison is shipping a car of fine beef cattle. •Our pickle tanks are being erected and soon the little cucumbers will be coming in by the bushel. The picnic given by Frank and Mprie King, last Sunday, was well attended and all enjoyed a good time. A part of the Fair Oaks band were guests of the Parr band at W. L. Woods’ hall on Monday night. The boys spent a very pleasant evening together. The elevator has been taking in wheat at a busy rate for several days; and for the first time the farmers begin to kick about the grain weighing too heavy. A train man said the other day that Parr is the busiest town on the road today. On that day some 80 pieces of freight were unloaded from the north bound local. The Fair Oaks band boys came down Monday night to catch onto how the Parr boys do it. They were entertained at W. L. Wood’s hall with music by the Parr band. Wheat threshing is the order of the day, and good yield is the order of the result. About five thousand bushels have been delivered to the elevator up to the first of this week. Many of our citizens suffered with the Colorado fever. It has taken a few off, but some have so far recovered as to be able to attend to business again at the old stand. The home seekers company who left here for Colorado last week, have returned home, and reported unfavorable. They claim there is too much space between each blade of grass. The Illinois Pickle company are moving along very nicely with their factory. The pickle and cabbage crop looks fine. The company is very well pleased with their prospects at Parr. George Casey has a load of hogs in the stock yards ready to ship. They are hogs of his own feeding, one of the highest products of the farm, having devoted the next higher product to corn. The moving picture show at Wood’s hall Saturday was well attended. They give a splendid show every Saturday night. They have a new, first-class, machine, and use up to date films. Mr. Barns, of Indianapolis, has assumed the duties as agent for the Monon railroad and the American Express company. We understand it is the intention of the company to put in telegraph wires. A new railroad agent has taken possession here, and we hope to have a wire put in. E. Price, the former agent, is devoting his time to the handling of cream and attending his store, and it keeps him on the jump all the time with the help of his better half.
