The complaint alleged further that Paul conveyed away

The schools have had a month of flue weather, and the teachers’ registers show that there has been a correspondingly excellant attendance. Punctual attendance is the first requisite for excellency in the work of public schools, so the teachers naturally look upon the first month’s record with pleasure. The opening of the schools always means some re-organtzation. However, very few changes were found necessary in the grades. In the high school it was atfferent. At least thirty more pupils entered than had been counted upon. The building is suited to accommodate ICO pupils. It had been thought, that with the new building going up at Fillmore, our enrollment would reach about 180. As it is, 216 pupils are in actual attendance. There are 66 in the first year class, 61 In the second year, 36 in the third year and 53 in the fourth year. The schedule to follow is interesting; it gives by schools the per cent, of attendance, the per cent punctual, and the tardy record:

and Others of Monroe Township to Collect For Burned Barn.

ALLEGES ENGINE EiftED BUILDING

The Continental Insurance Company, through its attorneys, Alice .11 Hughes has filed suit in the Putnam Circuit Court to collect for moneypaid out as Insurance on a barn 1 burned on the property of August Hendricks in Monroe township. The complaint alleges that ou the day of the fire a threshing machine belong-1 jug to a company composed of Clarence Berry, George Lewis, Harry Brown, Charles McFarland, James Reeves and others was threshing oats at the farm and that the machine was set close to the barn In order to blow the straw into the barn. That in leaving the place the engine passed within two feet of the barn. That the engine was not provided with spark arrestor and that the sparks from said engine set fire to the barn and contents. As a result the insurance company was compelled to pay to the owner the sum of $1051. It is alleged that the company was damaged by the fire to the extent of $1200 for which amount they ask judgement. It is understood that the defendants deny that their engine set fire to the barn. They allege that the engine was provided with all safety appliances including a spark arrestor. They believe the fire has some other origin than that alleged in th ecomplaint.

Aids Nature The great success of Dr. Pierce’s Oolden Medical Discovery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition ol the fundamental truth that ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery” supplies Nature with body-build-ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in condensed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs. The “Discovery” rv-cstablishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies end enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in •hurt establishes sound vigorous health.

HAVE YOUR GRANTS REGORGED

All persons having original Government Grants covering their land which have not been recorded should have this done at once. Abstracts to such lauds are not good unless they show such records. Many are now being placed on file. Many of them hear the signature of Martin Van Buren, president of the United States Exaggerated CrueAty. A well known gentleman took horse exorcise daily, accompanied by a magnificent bloodhound, until he convolved an enthusiasm for cycling, when ho altered the program bj leaving the bloodhound at home and taking as his companion a fine dachshund. The pair were passing through a village recently when a laboring youth remarked to his "pal:” "If Oi wor proime minister Oi'd put a stop teriliis ‘ere bicyclin' business." “Why?” queried the other. ‘‘Cos it owt ter be stopped, if only for th’ sake o’ that dog as is n-pullin' along behind theer,” rejoined the first speaker. “It ain’t sport; it's cruelty to hanimals.” His companion disagreed and said lie thought the dog benefited by the exercise. “Exercise!” retorted the other scornfully. “D’ye call that exorcise? You never saw that dog afore 'is master started hikin', did yor?” "No, I didn’t.” "Well." said the youth, “'e wor one o' tlT finest bloodhounds you iver clapped heyes on. an’ wot’s ’e now? 'Is body’s dwlndkd away to nowt. while 'is legs is worn clean darn to th’ stumps. Ol repeat. It’s cruelty tor bun inmls.’’—-London Bystander.

Got His Money's Worth. A lady palmist was recently prosecuted, and an amusing incident was noted in connection with the rase. One of the witnesses called by the police was an Indiv i lual w’no did not appear to lie overburdened with in olligence. During a smart cross examination dt“feuihint's < ounsel asked him: “On first going in: i the room did you pay a shilling fee to the defend ant?" “Yes,” was the reply. “What did she toll you in return for the money?” “Oh,” said the wiiness. " me towld me lots o’ tilings, some on ’em, true, some on Vm half true an' some on ’em less.” "Now,” continued the counsel after the laughter had died away, “this is the point I wish to get at: Was there any attempt at imposition? Did you lady Impose upon you at all?” "Oh, dear, no!” was the response. “1 Unowed it wor all gammon, so there couldn't be no Imposition.

ROMANCE OF A LEG,

By S. HUNTER HALSEY. [Copyright. 1909, by American Press Association. J Love cannot be expressed by language. It Is something to lie felt, but not spoken. The old, the middle aged, the young may experience it. It is not confined to any class. It is serious, pathetic, yet there are times when It is ridiculous. When Mary Ann, who had served us faithfully for twenty years, announced that sin.* was about to be married to Peter, the hired farm hand, we were astonished. Never had we seen the couple spooning or mooning. On the contrary, we had observed what we considered evidence of animosity. They were continually making complaints of each other. But we knew Mary Ann was a good woman, and we had little Interest In 1’eter. for he was with us only for the harvest season. "How long. Mary Ann,” we asked, “have you and Peter been engaged?" ’’Since yesterday at sunset." “And had you thought much about marrying before that?” “1 had and I hadn’t,” replied Mary Ann. "That was because I didn’t know what Peter was a-goin’ to do. But a week ago when I gave him a piece of pie I had made and he said. ’Mary Ann. have you the receipt for it, so that If you should leave the farm you could make it without the cookbook?’ I knew there was moauing In tlie observation. And when 1 said, “Never fear. I have tile receipt firm In my head.’ 1 saw by the look in his eye it wouldn't be long before he’d ask me." One would suppose that In su' h a genuine case the course of true love would run smooth, but It didn’t. Peter walked with a baiting gait. Being a woman. 1 am blessed with woman’s traits. Including animosity. “Mary Ann." 1 said to her one day. “what makes Peter walk so queerly?" ‘T’m sure I don't know,” was the reply. "Ob!" I added. "I supposed you would know, of course." From that time 1 noticed there was something wrong between tlie lovers I asked Mary Ann about it. “It's the leg." she said. "I axed him. He said there was something on tils mind about It. 1 begged him to confess, but he wouldn't and lie wouldn’t, till at last I lost patieuee with him." "You shouldn't have done that.” 1 replied. "We women don’t need to lose our patience with men. We have only to keep at them and they tire sure to come our way at last. They are not as enduring as we. But It would net be prudent fer you to marry Peter with a secret between you and him. It may lie there is a story connected will) iiis limp. He may have been d deg something unlawful and got caught in a trap." "I've thought that myself.” said Mary Ann, a pained expression cross ing her face. A ‘‘ter this tiie relations between Pc ter and Mary Ann went from bad to worse. 1 said nothing more to her, for 1 knew thijt when a woman makes up her mind to learn a secret she'll know it in time. I noticed a hounded look on Peter's face, but I did not realize tlie depth of Ids tribulation. If there was nothing disgraceful connected with his halting walk, why should he not tell: If there was. Mary Ann would best be rid of him. One morning 1 was standing on the perch ii" l.ing down toward the railroad wliic'i runs past the other end of the apple orc hard The express was due in a few minutes, ami 1 always liked to see It go by. There Is something about a passing train to wake ti“ country people from our nci“ustey>c*cl leitiargy. Presently I beard a distant whistle and a moment later saw Peter walking briskly as Ids hall would permit toward the track. He '■limbed the fence dividing It from the farm, dragging his stiff leg over after him and stood between the rails. At •hat moment the train shot out of the wood. I heard a succession of sharp whistles and saw Peter. Instead of getting out of the train’s way. lie down on the ties, i shrieked and covered u y cms with my hands. Tint before shutting out my vision caught a clltnp-e i f v-irv Ann wildly running ton ml the would he suicide. 1 heard the «nln stop, a hissing of ■ tea’ll tit cl a confusion of voices. One of the farm hands oame along, and when 1 asked him if Peter had been killed lie told me that he would pfohabl\ die*, since he had lost a leg. He had tried to get off the track at the last moment and had removed all of liis body except one log. which had been crushed under the wheels. “Oh. that leg!" 1 groaned. ‘Tvc been sure It would ruin Mary Ann’s happiness. I hope he’s lost the one that has been the cause of the trouble.” 1 saw an opening In a knot of people crowding around something beside the train, ami two men emerged carrying another on n stretcher. Mary Ann walking beside them wringing her hands. They were* bringing Peter to the house. When they came to whore 1 was standing and Mary Ann saw me she walled:

“it’s the leg! I knew there was bad luck in It. Oh, why couldn’t I leave It alone?"

Later the doctor came out of the house to the porch where I was com fortlng Mary Ann as best I could. “Tell us quick!” I cried “Will he llTer "He’s lost a leg,” he replied, “but It’s a wooden one, and he only suffc'rs from the shock.” o Mary Ann and I looked at each othar Then Mary Ann flew Into the Ipttfe to make her lover happy.
