Ruple, of LaPorte it visiting his mother. Picked Up. Know yourself. Everybody else knows you. The stupid woman is one of nature’s misfits. The man who is servile is a disgrace to manhood. The honest poor are no scarcer than the honest rich. Directness of aim is of more importance than loudness of report. Women demand better manners of men than they possess themselves. “His Honor is at steak,” said the waiter when the judge was at dinner. Opportunities are bald behind. You must catch them by the forelock. Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities, and if they do not show' up, create them. The man who dresses to please his wife should never be asked to perform any further penance. Every mother thinks that her boy is about perfect although he may be the veriest rascal on earth. A girl sometimes coaxes her lover not to spend so much money on her, but she doesn't have to coax him after they are married. Be honest. Dishonesty seldom makes one rich and when it does, riches are a curse. There is no such thing as dishonest success. Hicks' April Weather. It will be prudent to count ou general and severe disturbances from the sth to 9th, and to expect cold, with frost and light freezing as the storm area works eastward of intermediate points. On and touching the 12th and 13th, thermometers and barometers will swing back to storm readings, heavy showers, with hail, thunder and wind, will strike all sections in their march to the Atlantic. Very cold weather, with frosts, will succeed these disturbances. The 17th to 21st will constitute the next regular neriod. The crisis of the disturbances will be reached from 18th, to night of the 20th, the full moou on the 19th having a tendency to centralize disturbing forces on that date. The showery conditions, usually existing all through April, will take on new power and organize into storms of great extent and energy nt this period, as well as all the dates of central disturbances. "V ery cool nights, with frost generally, may be expected between the storms of this period and the reactionary changes and storms due centrally ou the 24th and 25th. Another cool dash—severe enough to bring frost in the north—will follow storms about these dates. Without useless foreboding and dread, we may reasonably expect tornadic storms in many places during the storm periods in April. Befere the end of April the season will be well opened, with a propitious outlook for all who have their agricultural interests well in hand, and who are planning for early crops. The Silver Agitation. The silver agitation is making a great stir but the benefits from it will be nothing compared with the investment of a silver quarter in Simmons Liver Regulator powder. It agitates the liver and cures biliousness and sick i headache.

The cost of ordinary postage stamps to the government is said to be about seven cents a thousand. If you want your watch to run right to the second, take it to A. L.

The Walkerton Milling Co. will have their grain elevator at North Liberty completed in time for the coming harvest. Two men from LaPorte joined Coxey’s army. Editor Becker, of the Watchman, a populist paper, is said to have joined the army as war correspondent. Speaker Crisp who was offered the United States senatorship by the governor of Georgia has declined to accept. It is rather tough to be compelled to forego a rich plum like that, but the circumstances, it seems, were against Crisp accepting, at present. A dinner was given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Robbins last Tuesday in honor of the twenty-fourth birthday of their daughter-in-law I Mrs. Chas. S. Robbins. The guest present consisted of the immedial relatives. Mrs. Robbins was present# : I with a gold watch by her husband mJ honor of the event. fl Col. C. B. Gillette delivered bi^ ctl lire last Friday evening for th#* lelm' of the G. A. R. “His ■ubjec^^j^ U. S. Grant.” The house Oiled and the lecture was joyed. This is the second lec, ,/ x J Gillette has given here and theV*f i are so well pleased they havcyaJr.l . 1 spoken to him for his other lecture Henry Ward Beecher. | Dan Brubaker has moved the hmise I he has been renting onto a lot ini Place’s addition, and will build a new one on the site of the old house. He will commence building soon, and intends putting up quite a line house. It will be occupied by his son-in-lawi and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ed] Koontz. fl The following from a contemporary! is right to the point: “It’s just a/ sensible to expect a crop of corn tl plant itself, grow and finally land in the crib without the help of labor, as to sit calmly down and wait for the town to prosper without any effort. We will get just what we work for. ’Twould be strange indeed if there were not some men in our midst who are willing to do nothing but float around in the pool of stagnation like leeches ready to fasten to the body of prosperity and suck the blood which they did not help to make. Don’t be a leech.” On Monday evening the ladles of the M. E. Church, about 65 in number, each w ith a pound or so of carpetbags, gathered at the parsonage while Mrs. Stockbarger was at the Epworth League and when she arrived home she was much taken by surprise to see her house full of ladies busily sw* Ag. and when after spending a very ant evening, they departed leaving 05 large balls of rags alreadf^iri^e weaver, they had only expressed klittle of the good will and esteem in which they hold their minister’s most estimable wife. From the pen of Editor Stoll, of the South Bend Times, is the following pretty tribute to robin redbreast: “The bright sunshine and warm rains have awakened the buds and brought back the robins from the orange grove. If there is a cheerier harbinger of spring than this same brave, friendly robin, his name is still unknown. The green has scarcely sprinkled the gray branches, yet his note of faith has been heard these many mornings, and ’tis sweet as maple syrup and light biscuit. He briskly finds something to do, and whether the breakfast crumbs are many or few, he goes about his business with an air totalJv indifferent to failure.”

The boat landed at Maalaea bay, and there was no one to i meet him, consequently he started to walk the seven miles to Wailuku.
