A new scheme is being tried at Naik " baling with H d‘ j vantage in Pekin. Each household is furnished with “tramp tickets” and ; the weary wanderer is given one of these when he applies for a meal. They entitle him to a meal if signed by the city marshal of the town. "When presented to the city marshal he requires that a certain amount of work be done before his signature is secured. —Pekin Tinies. The Indiana weather crop bulletin issued Monday says: “The dry weather of the last week hindered the growth of all crops, especially corn, potatoes, pastures and tobacco. General rain would add greatly to their value. Occasional rains have fallen, but have been badly distributed. Corn generally is in very good condition, and the prospect was fine for an unusually large and excellent crop until the dry weather of the last week, which was not beneficial to its development. It has suffered somewhat on good land, and is beyond hope of recovery on thin land where the dry weather has been continuous. Pastures are short and drying up in many localities. Apples, peaches and pears promise a good yield.”

Prices to suit the dry weather times at the Globe. One short horn bull, good stock, for sale. Call on J. Hilderbrand. Ymi can buy dusters at your own j price at. Ake’s. Come and lie con- ! vineed.

Barden had a “chilly” experience recently while making hay on his marsh. He was working in his bare feet when he stepped with his right foot onto something that felt like a snake. Moving the other foot away so the object, if it proved to be a snake, could not strike at him, he lifted his right foot up as quickly as possible and jumped away. It, proved to be a rattler about four years old and was coiled up in such a manner that, the weight, of his foot prevented it from striking. It is unnecessary to say that Mr. Barden experienced some very “creepy” feelings when he realized the situation. He lost no time in killing the snake.

A Barn and Contents Burned The barn owned by Charles Holmes, who resides six miles west of this place near the Kankakee river, was burned hist Monday night with nil its contents, consisting of nine horses, some of them excellent stock, n part of lust year’s crops and all the crops that had been harvested this year. Edward Singleton, n neighbor, discovered the tire about 11 o'clock mid at once aroused Mr. Holmes. They rushed to the barn in hopes of getting the horses out but when the barn door was opened a mass of flames shot out which drove them baeK. They beard the horses struggling but it was utterly impossible Io get to then) as the burn was all ablaze on the inferior. The roof soon fell in and nothing could be rescued from the barn. Air. Holmes hud been to the burn about 10 o’clock to look after the cattle mid found everything all right nt that time. The fire was a very mysterious one and incendiarism is strongly suspicioned. Air. Holmes had the barn and contents insured for about one third of the value. The loss is estimated at about $2,000. Essay on Man Robert J. Burdette.

Man is an omnivorous animal. Some smart people call him a biped, i but this is a zoological error. * He’s just a plain, everyday, two-leg-1 ged animal. j Man is found in most parts of the 1 world. He roams at will, feeds in the day--time and sleeps at night—some nights. He is very tame. You can go up and put your hands on him anywhere, so long as you don’t put it on his pocket book. He has under those conditions, been known to kick . He is like a dog—howls a good deal and runs around at night. Like aii elephant, he has a trunk, but he doesn’t always carry it with him. The elephant does. As to what man is really good for anthropology is still in the dark. Being strong, he is used to draw pictures, carry news and pull revolvers. He is also fust and goes in the human race. Properly trained, man can jump higher than any other animal. He has even been known to jump mountain resort board bills, which are very high. Although in many respects man is like other animals, in this respect he is different from them all—he lies standing.
