If you want to please a man, tell him he looks like an actor. If you want to please a woman, call hei a heartless flirt. Poverty is less disgraceful than sin, but it’s more unfashionable. A man lIHM feo pro fen Ibo bnrl fen fjnt there. It never comes to meet him. A person is always startled when he hears himself called old for the first time. There are several things worse than disappointment in love; rheumatism is one. People get wisdom by experience. A man never wakes up his second baby to see it laugh. Life is a circus in which everyone takes the part of the clown some time dining his sojourn. A good many newspapers keep their opinions in soak until they catch the drift of public sentiment. Everybody likes and respects selfmade men. It is a great deal better to be made in that way than not to be made at all. Qualifications For an Editor Talk about the superiority of the great city editor! What editor of the most colossal journal in New York or Chicago could do the things the versatile individual at the head of the Tamaroa (la.) Bugle accomplishes and yet lives to tell the tale? Here is the list of bi« s* , _. - —» men, lie ueclareH, he sets forth “in justice to ourself:” It takes a hustler for the newspaper business in this locality just now, but Lhe Bugle is equal to the emer gency. \V». can writes poem, discuss the tariff, umpire a bull game, report n wedding, saw wood, beat a lawyer, de scribe a fire so that the readers will shed their wraps, make a dollar do the work of ten, shine at a soiree, address a horticultural society, measure calico, abuse the liquor habit, test whiskv, subscribe to charity, go without meals, attack the free silver, defend bimetal Dm, sueer at snobbery, wear diamonds, invent advertisements, overlook scandal, praise babies, delight pumpkin raisers, minister to the afflicted, heal the disgruntled, fight to a finish, set type, mold opinion, sweep the office, praise the widows, run for office, speak at prayer meeting and stand in with everybody and everything.—Ex. New Style Wedding Notice The Atchison Globe anticipates the style of writing up a wedding ten years hence. “'lhe bride looked well in a traveling dress, but all eyes were centered on the groom. He wore a dark suit that fitted perfectly his manly form, a large boqnet decorated his coat lapel, and in his daintily gloved hand he carried a boqnet of American beau ties. His hair was cut close and a delicate odor of barber’s oil floated . down tlie aisle as he passed. The young people will miss him now that he is married. He is loved by all for his many accomplishments, his tender graces and winning ways. The bride . commands a good salary as book keep er in St. Joseph and the groom will miss none of the luxuries to which he has been accustomed. A crowd of pretty young men saw them off at the depot.” KARL’S CLOVER ROOT, the ! great Blood Purifier gives freshness j and clearness to the complexion and cures constipation, 25c., 50c.

Through the action of Auditor Myler and a Democratic board of county commissioners next year’s county taxes will be nine cents less on the SIOO valuation and in this city it is nineteen cents less while other townelection is ^reduction. As . dais should get a little crenW Mt um neat saving.—South Bend Times. The Mclntosh Bros., builders of the Three I railroad, completed their work this week and turned the road over to the company on Friday. Grading for the road was begun July 20. The road, including ballasting, fences, telegraph line, etc., is all complete. Four months was the length of time, in which all this work was accomplished, showing that the road has been pushed rapidly ahead and that, too, in the face of some obstacles. The length of theextension from Knox to South Bend is about thirty-six miles. The aim of every business man should be to use every opportunity of reaching every possible customer, i Newspaper advertising is the instrument most likely to accomplish this end. Other means have been tried 1 and have failed. For a time circulars were considered to be as good a means । of accomplishing success as could be devised; but those have been overdone I and are not now read. Circulars almost invariably find their way, often with unbroken wrapper, into the waste basket or the fire. The newspaper is by far the better means of reaching the bulk of the people. This result has been the outcome of many exj —; _ merits in various kinds of advertising. —Ex. A neighboring exchange in giving an account of an approaching wedding gave the names of those who were to be bridesmaids, groomsmen, ushers and everything of consequence about the ceremony that was to be, ana then inadvertently omitted the groom's name. “Still,” says the paper from which we quote, “the omission was not noticed by the average feminine reader. For in the society wedding the groom Is merely a lay figure, he is a sort of a pillar upon which the ribbons of the Muy pole dance are wound. His name, age, color and previous condition of servitude are matters of secondary importance, and if they are left out it is hardly noticed. Before the marriage it is Miss Smith’s young man, but ever after he has his turn, for she is only ‘Brown's wife.’ So dees the injustice right itself.”

Pension Agent Sjiencer at Indianapolis, says the old veterans are dying at the rate pf 110 a month. A few years longer and there will be no pension agent, as there will be no pensions to be paid. The semaphore tower is, we understand, to be placed on the old freight depot at the B. AO. This building has been moved several feet west of its old location, and a large union freight house a ill be built in its place.

Fort Wayne News: A member of the board of health suggests that one of the most fruitful sources of spreading contagions in this city is the use of closed carriages for the conveying of people from infected homes to funerals mid the use of the same conveyances to carry others about the city to social gatherings, to the railroads, etc. Wabash Plain Dealer: A wild deer startled the people of Roann the other day by rushing through the streets. It came out of the woods near town, bounded lightly over yard fences, dazed and frightened. William Black saw the animal, hurried after his gun and gave chase, but the deer disappeared as it came, and Mr. Black did not get a shot at it. Where the animal caine from and how it so long escaped the hunters who scour the forests continually, in that vicinity, is a mystery. Farm for Sale.
