Hog ('holera. The greatest drawback to the lin:: industry which breeders in this country have to contend with is what is known as "hog cholera" and "swine plague.” Hog cholera is n highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs in it very short time. Mr. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts Creek, Ind.. tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had had the ehalera. “Five years ago," says Mr. Williams, “l was in te employ of Mr. .1. D. Richardson, Lafayette, Ind., us his barn fbreinan. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan's Liniment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and 1 was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find it O.

[Original. 1 There are commonplace things and there are strange coincidences that turu the current of our lives. A human career may be likened to a chip cast iuto a rivulet it goes with the current, over stones, tumbliug from tiuy cascades, till it is caught iu an eddy and stranded. Some slight disturbance starts it again, and after a few sell aeks it rejoins the channel. Caught by a fallen branch, it waits till released by a swelling of the waters. And so it goes till it is at last thrown iuto the ocean. When i was about twenty I went to a cornhuskiug. I remember sitting in a pile of corn beside a girl of sixteen. Suddenly in tearing a husk 1 saw that the ear it inclosed was red. Claiming the privilege of coruhuskers when a red ear Is found, I kissed my com-

panion.

1 had met one of tile deflections in the current of my career. There was a pretty blush, a slight resistance, the kiss, the blush and the rest-.- nee u: I ing a charming com bination. Later in the barn l danced with my little girl, went with her at midnight across the moonlit fields to her home and kisse 1 tier again iu the shadow of the vino overhanging the

porch.

There followed a courtship as tender, us sweet as fragrant as a young rose plant, only there were no thorns. The thorns grew later. We became en-

gaged.

There was no opposition to our engagement and no reason why we should not marry, though wo were too young to marry at once. For two years life wits a gardt n spot, though we did not know how happy we were lii-cim -■ we were incx; crienced. Loving was like breathing. Then when we wore ready to he married my little girl and her mother must needs go to the city for her trousseau. I joined them there after ttie purchases had been made for a few days' sightseeing and to bring them hack We two. my fiancee and myself, went to the park, to the theater, to shows of different kinds. One day we were walking down a broad thoroughfare, jostled by tin lininense crowd of people. Seeing some jewels blazing in a shop window, I called my fiancee's attention to one of them nnd asked her jocularly if I should go in and buy it for her. Iter only reply was a smile But, oh, how sweet it was! Fate threw in our way an obstacle. The wedding did not take place. I did not know the real cause, but I suspected her mother of changing her mind. My fiancee was at tut age to lie dominated by a stronger person and gave way. She broke the engagement. After this the country grew dull to me. and I concluded to go to town to live I went Into business nnd prospered. Ten years passed, and 1 bad not manic t tietng n ntonmer or several chilis ami having the means wherewith toin/iy ci , !i; •. ! ilM not care to give up my bachelorhood. At times 1 even considered my inotlier-iii-law that was to have been ns having done me a favor in throwing mo over. Hail it not been for her I would have been tied down to the drudgery of a family. Otic day, Is'ing away from home—I really had it > home in the full meaning of the word—while waiting for an appointment I sauntered Into a vaudeville show’. A vltiiscope was a feature of the performance, nnd one of the scenes given was a crowded street in a great city. The throng was both going and coming, those going fading In the distance. those coming growing larger as they advanced till, reaching the foregrout.d, it seemed that they would walk right in among the audience. My eyes suddenly became fixed on a young couple In the moving picture My heart stood still. My love of some ten years before was the girl. Then, to ray amazement, the young man was myself. My photographed figure pointed to a shop window and said some thing. The girl looked at my double and smiled. Then in another moment they came on as if about to walk over me. when they disappeared When we two lovers were together, preparatory to our intended wed ling, we had been unconsciously photographed. But that smile! It brought back the delightful period from the moment when at the cornhuskiug 1 hud found the red ear till the breaking of my engagement. 1 was older now and was conscious of the change In me. Indeed, it had taken me some time to roc >guizo myself in the vltascope. Site was the same in my memory ns in the picture, though I realized that she must have changed. I felt again the delight of a young love. Quick us lightning my inner self was tran formed. My bachel >r life be* came not only dull, but disagreeable. I saw myself cold, selfish, corrupt. I had not realized the low tone of a bachelor clubman, a man of the world. The smile of a simple country girl had not only revealed it to me, but had shown me the beauty of purity. I made n resolve. I would go and find my .voting love, and if It were pos slide to win Iter again 1 would do so. 1 found her grown from a girl to a woman. She had been living a life of regret that tt decision lit her life had come when she was of such a tender age as to lie dominated by an older person. All this time when I was associating with people whom I cared nothing for nnd who eared nothing for me she had been waiting for me to come back to tier. My married life had been settled by a vltascope. BEVERLY WORTHINGTON.

THE COMPANY WILL FIGHT

Interurban Officials Not Being tide To Come to Term* With Clay I County and lira/.il City Rian For Conflict.

GIVE COMPANY'S SiD OF ROW A. W. Knight, attorney for the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company in its fight with the city and county, when approached by a Times reporter relative to the company’s probable actios in the tight, remarked: “The company has made almost every concession possible, and the city has turned down all of them, even after some of them had been accepted. Before the franchise was granted by the city it was discussed for several months by the company and the council, and the company granted all of the concessions asked by the city that were with in reason. This action was adopted by the council by a full vote before the final vote was taken. The company was surprised to find, when the final vote was taken, that it stood a tie, but the mayor voted in favor of granting the franchise. 1 see that the county commissioners have ordered the company to take up its tracks in the county because of an alleged violation of the franchise by charging a certain price to Terre Haute. That matter has been threshed out before and the company certainly has the host of it. /‘Another reason for the county’s action was the fact, so the commissioners state, that the company took up its tracks from Bain’s crossing to Harmony. As a matter of fact the commissioners ordered to company to take np these tracks, and now they are going to try to revoke the franchise because the company obeyed their orders. The proposition is absurd, an-J J am surprised that any reputable attorney would connect himself with it. “As to the order of the city for the company to remove its poles from the portion of West Main Street tinder discussion, the position of the city is about as reasonable as that of the county. The ordinance covers this thoroughly, and gives the eompany the very right it now enjoys. I would like to see them try to chop down those poles.

LEADING ROLE IN HABEAS CORPUS

A few days ago one Frank Kinder of Russell township learned amongst other things that it cost $12 to whistle "Bob White,” and in this connection he absorbed several new wrinkles of law as it Is worhe,\ in the office of a justice or the peace. A man named Bob White resides in that section of Putnam county , and the custom prevailed amongst | some people of whistling "Bob White* dke the bunchy brested quail when lie was within hearing, greatly to | his chagrin, annoyance and mortification. However when Kinder performed this whistling stunt, Mr. White filed an affidavit charging him with provoke. The justi • • instructed the jury in the case that they could hear the evidence in the case an i decide upon the guilt or innocence of the defendant, hut the “court” would fix the punishment j if a conviction resulted. According to this bill of particulars, Kinder was declared guilty and the justice assessed a fine of $12 which the defendant did not. pay or stay, so he was brought here and lodged in jail. Attorney Hays was called into the case and immediately Instituted habeas corpus proceedings to have the prisoner released, alleging that lie was unlawfully imprisoned.
