There is a scheme being worked in this state on a plan something like this! A stranger calls to sell a fanning mill. During his conversation and walk about the premises with the farmer he is sure to see a horse that just suits him and offers to pay a small sum down to secure the bargain. If accepted he asks for a receipt for the money deposited, stating that he will go to the bank and return in a day or so for the animal. Said receipt turns up later at the bank as a note against the farmer. Great Campaign Offer.

For sick headache, Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup is miraculous in its cures, regi ulating to a healthy condition the stomach - and digestive organs. The Warsaw Times says that “at . Mentone, on Sunday, a stroke of light- . ,ning passed through the hair of a young lady in such away as to bend two of y the hair pins she wore and actually melted one, not even breaking the skin of her head!” , For a languid, tired feeling, Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup lias no equal, creating a good appetite, and rendering a healthy and active digestion. The LaPorte Argus says “the celebrated counterfeiter Pete McCartney, । who was recently discharged from als years term at the Michigan City prison, has been sent up again for 15 years from New Orleans. The charge this ' time was passing raised bills. He is srid to be the most skillful counterfeiter . in the country, but he is an old man and it is probable he will not live to serve his present term. ’ A writer in the Lafayette Cal! makes the following startling statement: 1 “The man or woman, boy or girl who smokes cigarettes I ask to make this • experiment: Hold your linen handkerchief in your hand, draw from the ; cigarette a mouthful of smoke, and then blow it through the handkerchief In so doing you will find on the white । surface of the linen a nasty, black spot of nicotine—a spot of black poison none the less so because it is tardy in its effects. And vet this is the deposit which the cigarette leaves in your throat and lungs. Is it, 1 ask yon, any wonder that disease and death quickly come from such a habit.?’’ Some one, very sensibly writing of the treatment of horses, says; Never run after a horse in tin pasture. If he dors not like to be caugui, coax him with a little grain, but never deceive him with an empty dish. You can soon teach the wildest horse to come to you. k' hen he does come let him eat a little while before you lead him oft. Some horsemen when goingto the past lire, whether they wish to catch a horse or not, always carry a tid bit an ear of corn, a handful of oats, an apple or a eanot, a chunk of sugar or salt. When you turn a horse out to pasture, do not give him a slap with the bridle; he will remember it to your regret if you do. Make a pet and a friend of your horse; it will improve him and imLe a better > person of yourself.
