Walkerton lias been fortunate in this respect, due principally to the fact that we have a night-watch. The Valparaiso Evening Messenger of November 27 contained an excellent write-up of the new G. A.

The South Bend Times says that during the past four mouths more t han 150 Belgians, Hungarians and Poles of that city returned to their former homes in the old country. They were here but a short, time, and left on account of the uncertainty of obtaining steady employment. The Independent, "Womankind and American Farmer all for $1.50. This is a special offer that will hold good only until the first of January. Come in at once and secure the benefit of this liberal offer. Three good papers one year for $1.50 is ridiculously cheap and you can not afford to miss the bargain. A San Francisco journal says that a Pennsylvania woman a year ago answered an advertisement of a Washington state farmer who wanted a wife. She went west and was married. The other day the farmer sliced her into mincemeat with the family butcher knife. This incident certainly shows the. value of advertising. If it hadn’t been for advertising perhaps that, woman would have been dragging • out a miserable existence to-day as an old maid in Pennsylvania. J. R. Parsons writes from Peoria, HL: “Dr. Lambert arrived home a few days ago and says he is better than he has been for a long time, and indeed he looks and acts that way.” We have been shown a letter from the doctor to a gentleman and his wife in this city in which the doctor says that he is at home and in good health in all respects. He arrived home on the evening of the 14th inst. and has been very busy since receiving friends, answering letters and attending to the many things needing his attention. Dr. Lambert formerly resided here and became temporarily deranged, the result of illness. —LaPorte Herald

Here is a lesson worthy of heed if I there be any such case in Walkerton: ; “Theodore Hagemaster, of Porter sta- ; tion, is in a peck of trouble, caused by carelessness. His saloon burned recently and the adjuster went there to settle the loss several days ago. The check was all made out ready to pay over, when it was discovered that the deed to the property was in his wife’s name, and the insurance policy in his own. Hagemaster had deeded the i property to his wife after he had it inI sured, and had neglected to have the i policy transferred. Now thy company will not pay the loss until it is legally decided who shall get the money.” Foster’s Forecast. His last bulletin gave forecasts of a storm wave to cross the continent from 28th t.o Dec. 2d. The next he says, will cross the western mountains : by the close of the 4th. Then we tire ! ( to have a cold wave of more than the I average force. It may be expected to I cross the western continent about the Bt.h. 'I lie preceding warm wave will ; cross about the 12th. Holiday Excursions.

His Heart was Broken. Senator S. Parker, of Toledo, 0., was recently found dead at his home with his heart broken, literally as well as figuratively speaking, for the organ was rent in twain. His sudden demise was the culmination of continued brooding over the misdeeds of his son, S. B. Parker. Less than two weeks ago the latter was arrested on a charge of forging the name of his uncle, Dr. Sewell S. Parker. A couple of days afterward he was visited by his* father at the jail. The disgrace of seeing his son imprisoned for a ciiminal offense proved too much for him. Ou Thursday night he complained of feeling unwell; that evening he was found dead in his room. Dr. Parker examined his dead brother’s body and reported that he had never come in contact with a similar case. The rupture of the heart, he believes, was actually] brought on by grief at the son’s disl grace; the organ was separated and iur two distinct parts literally a “broken heart.” One word describes it—“perfection.”’ We refer to DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well known cure for piles.

YOUR FUTURE n IXW \ y \X ■ wwX \ JVLoori,' / \ / IS IN YOUR OWN HAND. Palmistry assumes to tell what the lines in yotu hand indicate. It will amuse you, if nothing more. The above diagram almost explains itself. The length of the LINE OF LIFE indicates probable age to which you will live. Each BRACELET gives you thirty years. Well-minked LINE OF HE\D denotes brain power; clear LINE OF FOR TUNE, fame or riches. Both combined mean success in life ; but you must, keep up with modern ideas to win it. You will find plenty of these in Demore-t’s Family Magazine, so attractively ptesented that every member of the family is entertained. It is a dozen magazines in one.

A Well-known Soldier, Correspondent and Journalist Makes a Disclosure. Indiana contributed her thousands of bravo soldiers to the war, and no state bears a better record in that respect than it does. In literature it is rapidly acquiring an enviable place. In war and literature Solomon Yowell, well known as a writer as “Sol,” has won an honorable.position. During the late war he was a member of Co. M, 2d. N. Y. Cavalry and of the 13th Indiana Infantry Volunteers. Regarding an important i circumstance lie writes as follows: “Several of us old veterans here are using i Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure and Nerve and Liver Pills, ail of them giving । splendid sal isfact ion. In fact, we have never used remedies that compare with them. Os Ilie Pills we must say they are the best combination of the qualities required in a preparation of their nature we have ever known, NVe have none but words of praise for them. ’ They are the outgrowth of a new principle in i medicine, and tone up the system wonderfully. We say to all, try these remedies." —Solomon Yowell, Marion, Ind.. Dec. 5,1892.
