The printer’s “devil” was making up his form. The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The first part of the obituary notice of a pecunious citizen had been dumped in the form and the next handful of type came oil the galley describing a recent fire. It read like this: “The pallbearers lowered the body into the grave and it was consigned to the flames. There were few if any regrets, for the old wreck has been an eyesore to the town for years. Of course there was individual loss, but that was fully covered by insurance.” The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lament-* ed partner of her joys owed him five years’ subscription.—Ex.

They Speak of Other Days.

Of the 53,000 pension checks sent out from the Indiana headquarters in the federal building for the quarterly payment last week, 13 go to the widows of veterans of the war of 1812. This seemingly impossible fact is due to old men marrying young women, according to Indiana Pension Agent Albert O. Marsh. Of course there are no veterans of the war of 1812 now living. Checks are also made out for 11 survivors of the Mexican war of 18461847 and to 306 widows of Mexican war soldiers. The average pension of Indiana veterans is about $36,, the pensions ranging between the lowest, $lB, and the highest, S3OO, for the quarter. The total amount paid in pensions in this state this quarter is approximately $2,500,000, amounting to more than $11,000,000 for the entire year. To handle this great business a force of more than 40 employes it necessitated, 15 or 20 of this number being extra clerks, employed only during the time for receiving the quarterly pension vouchers and issuing the checks.

One of the Season’s Best.

There are heroes and heroes on the stage, but the prince of them all is "Monte Cristo”. He is at once the exemplar and the despair of the lesser dramatists and he makes the swashbucklers of cheap melodramas look like farce comedy characters. The secret of the pre-eminence of Edmond Dantes can easily be discovered by watching the play as It will be presented by Fred G. Conrad’s Company at the opera house, Saturday, August 21st. Eugene Moore, the noted actor, who has played the star part In “Monte Cristo,” Innumerable times, furnished the play which Mr. Conrad uses and with this version go the traditions of the part as Mr. Moore always played it. This actor has a clear vision of what makes a real hero, and he has endowed bis Count of Monte Cristo accordingly. Mr. Conrad apparently has gathered an exceptional company. He will use the necessary quantity of special scenery.

Barnard After Bad Eggs.

Food and Drug Commissioner H. E. Barnard is paying much attention these days to the condition of Indiana eggs. It is his purpose to put an end to the sale of eggs that have failed to hatch in incubators and under the “setting hen.” The first conviction ever secured was of a farmer at Peru who was fined $lO and costs last week for selling rotten eggs to a grocer. "The man we want,” said Mr. Barnard, “ is the man who sells the eggs the first time. The grocer isn’t so ■a much to blame. This is the time of incubation, and eggs which fail to hatch are unloaded on the retailers, and the consumer pays for it. It is about this time of the year that the exploring* farmer boy finds the nest of eggs in the hay mow and the eggs are unloaded on the innocent public.

“The only way the problem can be solved is by the insistence of the consumer that he be sent nothing but candled eggs. It is an easy matter to candle eggs and it can be done at small cost. Candling is sure to keep bad eggs out of the maket. If it catches only one egg out of the dozen it is worth the cost.”

The law provides that “it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to sell or offer for sale any eggs after the same have been placed in an incubator, or to sell or offer for sale, knowingly, eggs in a rotten, deca>ed or decaying condition to be used for food.” Itching piles provoke profanity, but profanity won’t cure them. Doan’s Ointment cures Itching, bleeding or protruding piles after years of suffering. At any drug store.
