FROM THE ARR—Just previous to last Thanksgiving Day preparations were being made for the production of that great drama, called "The Prodigal Son. Driven to Drink or the Savages of ithe Wabash," when some one asked Dan O'Brien if he w^uld personate an Indian.

A priest and a drummer, as I have heard tell, Stopped one night together at a country hotel, The drummer sold groceries, dry goods and shoes The priest taught the gospel in Troy and

Oohoes.

This drummer, a Jew, to fun was inclined, The priest was quite holy, good .things on his mind. "Do you believe in the bible?" the priest asked the Jew. "I don't believe it all." said the Hebrew, "do you?" That the children otf Israel crossed the

Red sea,

Of course I believe—that could easily be, But that waters were parted to let them go through Without getting wet—Oh, no that won't do, And the multitude great that we're told was onoe fed With a few little fishes and five loaves of bread. And more were left hungry, that cannot be true. At least I think not." said the Hebrew, don't you?" Then We read otf those patriarchs, hOary and old Who accomplished great deeds in a manner so bold. Of 'Lijah and 'L&h. who onoe took a walk. And when life disappeared, how it made the folks talk. Then we hear otf old Balaam and his donkey so frisky, And the late, as it's told, of truth is quite risky, That Balaam oft spoke to that ass may be true. But that "donk" never answered, now what think you?

Moral: If your neighbor believes the moon is made of green.cheese, don't disaluse his mind, It would hurt Ms variety.— Joe Bush.

HERE IS WHERE WE DO IT. In this big world there are perhaps but few who understand that When a convict's not engaged in his employment, Nor maturing his felonious little plan, His capacity for innocent enjoyment Is just as great as any either man's.

This capacity then most be held responsible for the conception of Hot Drops, as it was written originally merely to while ayay what would otheryise have twen an idle hour.

Since then, however, the many pretty things said about Hot Drops spurred u£ on to greater efforts and to the extension of our field otf usefulness. Then came the official recognition of our "unofficial organ," which filled us with even a greater desire to please While we were and are sincerely thankful to all who complimented, what they were pleased to term, our originality still we fear those tributes!, served only to gratify that personal

vantty inherent in all n^kind- But paramount to the thanks off«^ atowe, are thtoee whttch our pen will convey. Ttoeoe thanks are what we owe all we can offer to all—bond mmwd free vriith whom we have come in oontact, for their uniform good-treatment of us since we obtained a residence to the Castle de Hert

I mean

Drops.

But I never, oould figure It up.

THUBB HAtfTK EXPRESS. TOESPAf MORNINO. JJNUARY 7,1896.

As for our little paper, which we rtow bid adieu, we know all ollts readers will unite wttii us in hoping that through the bright, resplendent ri^as of ogee, the fame of Hot Drops snail be emblazoned in leters of fire upon the pages of glory and not go. down to an unhallowed posterity, unknown, unhonored ftairt iinatmg.—Joe Bush.

NEVER COULD FIGURS tT UP. Of the many strange things I have known in my time That I never could quite figure up, I'll tell you this one. if you 11 read my short risyrne. And perhaps you can figure it up. When I was a lad just turaing thirteen, Sweet sixteen, they said, was Miss Kathaalne Green, JNow I'm forty, she's twenty—no scandal

My brother Ben courted her ten years ago, So I never could figure it up. ... When she says she too young^to tlank of a beau, Oh, how can I figure it

uP?T,-f:

Perhaps my son Ned as I reaching three score, _.j. Some day will bring Kate .as a bride to

As when he reaches forty she'll be twentyfour, Is the way I have figured it up. •—J06 BUSH*

DEAD—Help somebody worse off than yourself.—Wisdom. Can't do tt-they're all dead.

SURE—Heaven smiles every time a convict is discharged. p. s,—So does the convict.

INFORMATION—Sir: Did Guard Phillips ever run for mayor of Terre Haute? Run! Run, did you say? No! Never! He never was in that big a hurry.

DON'T—Imagine when a man does ybu a favor that you are pulling his leg.

JUST SO—Woman may "be the weaker vessel, but man is the otftener broke.

FAITH—It is foolishness to reason about what we cannot know.—Wisdom. But- equally as much so to accetrt that same "what" on a basis of faith.

DON'T—Imagine that .the guard didn't see you simply because he didn't call you down for it.

ANOTHER VIEW—The day becomes longer every time a lazy man looks a/t the clock.—Wisdom.

But Dan O'Brien alwaiys gets some one else to tell him the time. DON'T IMAGINE—That a demand will "go" when a request does not, especially with Deputy Mayer.

A SURE WAY.

If man wanffe little here below, Why then the proper caper Would be to let his wealth all go

To start a country paper.

UP TO DATE—I consider myself She modern miartyr.—Hinshaw. Comment is uncalled for.

SPACE—Men, some to business, some to pleasure take.—Pope. If that was all men took what a lot of vacant rooms there would now be in the Hotel de Hert.

CAN'T HELP IT—Employ your own life without comparing it with that of another.—Condon-cat.

That reads all right, but when you have only five more years to serve you can't help comparing it with the unfortunate mortal who has a whole week.

NOT ALWAYS—"Tis pleasant sure to see one's name in print.—Byron. Unless it is immediately followed by "two years."

DON'T—Imagine you have a "pull" with a prison official at your jokes.

simply because he laughs

PRAISE—It is the greatest' possible praise to be praised by a man who is himself worthy otf praise.—Wisdom.

JOE JOHNSON GONE.

Leaves a Letter Informing His Partners That He Would Try Life in the Wild and Woolly West.

Joe Johnson Is among tihe mtestngf jWlhere he 16 tnlo one knows. Up to }ast Sunday Joteeph Jbhnson Was a member of the tailoring and furmWhing ilrm of Wttlfe, Oonmieffly & Johtcsan.

WMle the eamounceanent has been made thlat Johmson had rettfred from ithe firm the fact itaat he had left the c3ty between two days was nolt made known unM last night. He left Terre Halite some time last Sunday night, going West. He wtas seen on the streets during thalt day and it is known that on thlat'evening he caMed on a young wotoan with whom he had been keeping company. It was after midnight when he left her home and ft Is supposed he went direct to the deport and. took west-hound train.

There was, so far as is known, no sensation atlCached to Mr. Johnson's leave taking. His accounts with the* firm are all straight ait least noithing wrong has been detected. The members of the firm have been taking turns at opening the store in the morning. This wias to have been Johnston's week and Monday morning neither Messrs. WWtfe or Oonnelly appeared ai the place of business until about 9 o'clock. When oaate otf them arrived he was surprised to find".the store locked and no fire to the stove. On reaching the desk a letter from Mr. Johnson was found. It was dated December 29th and simply sft&ted the writer w&s going away thlat he had not been contented here and would try Ms fortune sin the Western country.

Mr. Johnson stated to 'the letter thalt he had taken the sum of $3 from the cash drawer, but that other things he left behind would more than overbalance that. Mr. Johnson's disappearance will "be a great surprise to his hundreds of friends in Terre Haute, as he was very popular among a large circle of acquaintances. Hiis parents, who reslide in the south part of the oiity, do not as yet know where Joseph is, though 'they will hear from hftm as soda as he locates permanently. He left a letter to his father, in which he stSatekl he was going West and .would communicate with them soon. The young man is, of steady habits and both his former partners and his parents are ait a loss to acoouq£ for hiis hasty and unih announced departure.
