Tfie man who fails to advertise in dull times is on a par with the fellow who refused to eat because his stomach was empty. It is said that Garfield was the only President who ever made a speech in a foreign language. He could make a fluent oration in German. By a decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois, Hyde Park, lately annexed to the city of Chicago, has been separated and placed under its village charter once more. Gov. Dorsheimer, editor of the New York Star, is dead. He was a brilliant writer and speaker and an influential man in the Democratic party of his state. A. J. Snell, the millionaire who was recently murdered in Chicago by burglars, was, forty years ago, a clock peddler traveling through Indiana. At times he was penniless. Minister : Next Sabbath morning a collection will be taken for our Fiji mission. (“Amens” ring through the congregation.) And, the minister addx ed, impressively: Ainens, however resonant and sincere, make little rattle in the contribution box. —N. Y. Sun. An escaped convict from the Michigan penitentiary learned that a reward was offered for his capture. He induced his poverty-stricken wife to “capture” him, deliver him up and get the reward. When this was done the convict, Albert Frazer, was happier than he had been for years. A tinner named Jerry Hayes, of Toledo, Ohio, took up an empty nitroglycerine can last Saturday to solder it, and when the hot iron touched the can it exploded with a terrific shock, blowing off Hayes’ head and injuring two workmen, besides demolishing the building. Chief Justice Waite, of the United States Supreme court, is dead. He ably filled the chair on the Supreme Bench for a period of more than fourteen years. His death changes the political complexion of the court, which loses a Republican and gains a Democrat. There will be three Democrats and six Republicans on the Bench after the - next appoin+ment. The Walkerton Independent has a railroad fight on its hands. It seems that the editor had contracted with the B. & O. to publish their card in exchange for a pass and that the latter called the pass in, and tl;e Independent claims a balance due. That’s right, Bro. Endley, give the “blarsted” monopolies the best you’ve got and if they don’t come to time sue them for “breach of promise.”—Plymouth Democrat. Yes, the way we figure it that monopoly monopolizes about 40 cents of our money, which, according to our figures, it owes us for work. It is not the 40 cents we want, but the fun we can get out of it. • - G. G. Grady, the great Indiana showman, and at one time a dangerous competitor of P. T. Barnum. has consolidated -with another fellow and is giving hourly matinees in the out townships with two performing bears.—lndianapolis Independent. A great many Marshall county people will remember the man above referred to, who started his career as a showman on a small scale not fay from here and one time a few years ago visited Plymouth with an aggregation that rivaled Forepaugh. Last summer he showed again in Plymouth with one small tent and two common black bears. His life has been an eventful one.—Plymouth Democrat. ■SISOTni mw an TDM—P» Exchange: Grover Cleveland is the only clergyman’s son who has ever been elected President, though Ai thur’s father was a clergyman. He was not, however, elected President. The fath - ers of Virginia Presidents—Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe—were planters. John Tyler’s father was a lawyer and a statesman, and John Adams, the father of John Quincy Adams, was by profession a lawyer. Grant’s* father was a tanner, Hayes’ father a merchant, and the fathers of Garfield, Lincoln, Pierce, Filmore, Polk. Van Buren and Jackson were farmers. The chances for the presidency in the past have thus been with the farmers' boys, and out of the eighteen Presidents elected by the people yply ope has been a parson’s sou.

The Boys Are Catching On. Sixty pupils in the high school of an lowa town struck yesterday because they had been denied the usual spring vacation-of one week. They marched out into the suburbs and indulged in a picnic, going homo for dinner at the usual hour. In the evening their parents did some striking, too, and when the young people report for duty Monday morning their teacher will probably continue the amusement. —Saturday’s Indianapolis News. pobiets ox coin CIILTUIW. “To grow corn successfully,” says Mr. A. B. Coleman in the Rural New Yorker, ‘make the soil fertile if not already so; break deep; pulverize thoroughly; run a drag over it and let it take a rain or two. Re-break it not quite so deep; harrow again; then run a drag over it to make it smooth. Lay it off 34 to 4A feet each way. Plant good, sound corn. Begin to cultivate early, and quit early, Do not be top impatient to plant. Better to wait until the ground gets warm. If you plant too early the corn will make a slow start. the stalks will get hard and th? crop will never do so well; besides, the grass or weeds may get ahead of the corn. Put the turning-plow and double-shovel under the tool-shed as soon as the corn is planted, and use the cultivator and a one horse harrow with short teeth. It is a fallacy to throw up a big ridge next to the corn to keep it from being blown down. The roots hold up the corn. Just as well pile soil around a fruit tree to keep it from being blown down. It is a fallacy to plow corn deep when it is silking, during a drouth, to bring up the moisture. The plowing is a serious injury. If the soil Inis been properly prepared the moisture will be brought up by capillary attraction. It is a fallacy to undertaKe, by five or six plowings in a field of growing corn, to do the work that ought to have been done before planting. ” Liberty Township Institute. The teachers of Liberty township met at the school building in North Liberty on Friday evening, March 16, 1888, to discuss the topics assigned them at the sixth institute. The president being late the meeting was called to order by VicePres. Bates; the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved by institute. After roll-call, there was seen rising with a smiling face, John D. Troyer, and as usual pleading not prepared; but he gave a very eloquent discourse on the life of Bach, a celebrated German musician. This was followed by Chas, F. Keck who very successfully related the truths connected with the life of the famous Hayden, another great musician. Then Ed. G. Geyer explained very vividly, the 9th chapter of Psy., revealed the absurd objects which might be brought to the mind by “Imagination;” this was followed by a well-chosen treatise on the life of “our” great essayist, Ralph Waldo Emmerson, by Edwin Steele. Following this, we see B. Frank Houser in the arena, explaining fully the facts of the 13th chapter of Psy., in a very agreeable manner. The committee then assigned subjects to those pupils who are to participate in the commencement exercises, which are to be held at the M. E. Church, of North Liberty, Thursday evening, March 29, 1888. Tiie institute was favored by a large number of visitors, among whom were our worthy trustee, L. M. Houser, and Titus E. Kinzie, of the State University, Bloomington, Ind., where he means to finish his education. Both made a few remarks: the Trustee, on the ability of a teacher,Jalso the manner of conducting a school; Mr. Kinzie dwelling principally on the greatness of Emmerson. For the presence of these worthies as also for their remarks, the Institute renders its grateful thanks. This finished, the institute adjourned sine die. Geo. M- Urey, Pres. Ella Cullar, Sec. MOB -V VERNON. Our school closed last Friday, Willie Shoemaker visited friends and relatives in Maple Grove a part of last week. “Doc.” Wenger and Joe Suders, of Mishawaka, spent Saturday and Sunday visiting friends and relatives in this vicinity, returning Monday. Chas. Shoemaker, who, for the past year has been sojourning in Maple Grove, spent two weeks in this vicinity visiting with friends and relative?. He departed the 24th inst. for Parma, Mich., where he in. tends working with his brother at the mason trade. Os the two applicants from this vicinity for certificates of graduation, at the examination held in Walkerton some time ago, onp, Miss Anna Swartz, fourteen years of age, was commendably successful; her general average being 91, falling below 90 in but one branch (geography, 87), the other branches running from 90 to 100- The other failed. Married, Saturday evening, March 24, at the M. E, parsonage in Walkerton, by the Rev. Tinkham, John E. Wenger, a highly respected young man of this vicin ity, and Miss Alice Rinehart, of Oregon, Starke county. They go to housekeeping in the Frank Byers house, recently occu pied by James Borst. May they enjoy a long, happy and prosperous married life, is .the sincere wish of Chase.

Cleveland Bays. Recently Mr. R. P. Stericher of Springfield, Illinois, contributed an article on this breed of horses to the Farmer’s Review, in which he condensed , many facts concerning this excellent race of horses. We haven’t room for it entire but give the main points of public. interest. He says that for over a century this horse has been carefully bred, and brought up to his present fine type. There has been in that time a little infusion of the racer of thoroughbred blood. The main characteristics of the Cleveland Bay are its adaptability to almost any kind of work, wonderful uniformity of size ami color, good disposition, great endurance, bold, free action and fine style, making it a very desirable animal to breed to, for getting either a line carriage, or good general purpose horse. They "should stand at maturity from 16 hands to 16 hands 21 inches high and weigh 1,200 pounds to 1,450 pounds, have good sloping shoulders, short backs, powerful loins and good quarters, head well-set onto arched neck and carried in a style not seen in any other breed. In color, he is a bay, either light or dark, with clean black legs, almost or entirely free from white, although a little white in the heel or a star in forhegd is considered allowable. He has good action and some instances are on record showing him to have considerable speed. For instance King William 169, trotted a mile in three minutes, carrying 196 pounds, and Plato 417, trotted 18 miles inside of an hour, carrying the enormous weight of 260 pounds. These are undoubtedly exceptional cases, but as a rule ten to twelve miles an hour on fairly good roads can easily be made, and this is as fast as most people want to travel. We merely mentioned the foregoing in order to show that the Cleveland Bay has a certain amount of speed, and also a wonderful amount of endurance and courage. These desirable qualities combined with Ids handsome color and appearance have gone far to make him the most popular horse in England, and commend him to the people here as a most desirable horse for either that purpose, or almost any other where activity strength and appearance are required. The farmers find him an excellent horse cither on the road or in the field, and in breeding him to ordinary mares most satisfactory results are obtained, as lie transmits his color and form with a certainty truly remarkable, thus maxing it an easy matter to raise matched teams of the proper size and style for carriage horses. -Indiana Farmer. fJHIe Debta. [Prairie Farmer.] “I'll not pay it, and I'll give that doctor a piece of my mind.” “Its an outrage, he’s forgotten himself ” were the expressions that dropped from a pair of pretty lips as the young matron stood witl flushed face, looking at some small bills just received To one consultation in office, SI.OO. James Jones, M. P, To one pair boots, 1.90.—T0 one pair slippers, $1.50. The query would come to my mind. : “Why were -.hose duns an outrage?” ■ True, the young lady who sought the physician’s advice did not apply the ; remedy prescribed, but the doctor had ! given her some of his valuable time, . while other patients were in waiting, ' and everyone knew his charges before consulting him. . It seemed to me a just debt. As for the shoes, they had been f in use long enough to be almost worn ‘ out. I could but think the shoe dcal- . er had waited as long as he ought for his money. Mrs. J. often loudly boast--1 ed “there was nothing small about her, ’ and she abominated littleness. ” I could not think she meant to “act ' small,” yet it did look as if she forgot to be just before generous. “Pay what thou owest,” is a motto that should be ’ hung where our eyes can daily, hourly, ! rest upon it. There are times, no doubt, ' ! when debts accumulate, but they sap the very joy from our hearts, and we find no pleasure in anything for thinking of the obligations we cannot meet. Such debts are not the ones we speak of. No, we mean the little ones we do not meet promptly, the newspaper subscription, the doctor’s bill, butcher’s little account, or for a little coal, or dry goods, and the like. A reputation for honesty and prompt payment of just debts, is a good thing to possess during life, and a good legacy to leave one’s family. It does not excuse us from the payment of these debts, that tin mme due when times are hard, and we have no money to meet them. It is better to stint one’s self than to owo for unpaid comforts. “Honesty is the best policy” is a good old maxim. We do not believe any one feels at peace with, others until all these annoying little scores are settled up. It is a blessed thing to be able to say, “I owe no man anything.” Is Consumption Incurable?—Read the following: Mr. C- H. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: “Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced me an incurable consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made.” Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says. “Had it not been for Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption I would have died of Lung Troubles, Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health.” Try it. Sample bottles free at Endley’s drug store,
