THE OLD HOME. There, there, 'mid clustering leaves. Glimmer my father’s eaves, And the worn threshold of my youth beneath— I know them by the moss . And the old elms that toss v Their lithe arms up where Winds the smoke’s gray wreath. —Benjamin Bussey Thatcher. INDIANA MOB ORDERS | NEGRO TO QUIT TOWN Women Aid In Attack on Black j Man's Property.

Bagot of the circuit . court chose to go hunting in a westerly direction from Anderson probably 1 saved the Stnadard Oil company hundreds of dollars. While hunting on the Noah Ryan farm, five miles west of the city, Judge Bagot stepped into 1 what he presumed to be a bog. He was much surprised because he was acquainted with the topography of that section and did not know’ of any marsh land. He said he also received an impression that were skunks in the neighborhood. As he waded ankle deep he noticed that his cigar had gone out. Lighting it, he carelessly dropped the lighted match, but luckily the fire became extinguished before reaching the ground. | It was when he climbed a fence and noticed oil on his boot that he realized that he had been wading through a pool of crude oil. He at once notified a farmer, who called by telephone the officials of the oil company at Montpelier, and an hour later .vfirkmen were repairing the oil line. It was found that the pipe line had broken and more than 5,000 barrels of oil had been pumped out on the Jackson township soil. SOCIETY WOMAN IN DANCE ■ I I. ! ■■■*’ Takes Parts in the Latest Steps and Rules Out Nothing. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. — The matron whose duties, according to a law recently passed by the city council, are to preside at all dances, made her first appearance here at a dance given by society folk in a hotel. She was just as popular as any other women present, and danced all the latest steps without censuring the way any of the guests danced, criticizing the music or the dress of those present. The matron appointed for the society dance was a society woman, and in accordance with the law the dance did not start until she arrived. The matron, however, refused to accept the fee of $2 which she is allowed by the law. CLARK’S DEATH A MYSTERY No Trail to Men Who Robbed and Murdered Indiana Farmer. INDIANAPOLIS, IND.—Emory C.
