KILLED A WOLF. Loyal Coil Shoots a Prairie Wolf Near His Home. It sounds queer to hear of killing wild wolves near Walkerton in an old, settled country like this But such is the case, as five wolves have been killed in this locality within a year Another prairie wolf was killed last Monday by Loyal Coil, who lives in LaPorte county, about two and one half miles from Walkerton The wolf came up from the tamarack swamp to Mr. Coil’s dooryard, being but a short distance from the house when first seen, about 11 o’clock m the fore noon. It was very bold and was evidently planning a raid on Mr Coil’s* hen coop. But the wolf became fright ened and scampe ed for a corn Held, Mr. Coil followed with a shotgun and succeeded in killing it. It was a young wolf of good size and no doubt belonged to the den of young wolvee which have been making their home in the tamarack swamp in that vicinity Many chickens have been missed in that neighborhood within the past year as a result of the frequent raids of the wolvee There are probably more wolvee in the swamp and an organized wolf I hunt by our local sportsmen might be the means of ridding the neighborhood of these pesky critters Mr. Coil took hie prize to LaPorte where he received the legal bounty from the county officials. Choked on Piece of Meat Frank Toby, a druggist of Sturgis, Mich , who was attending the Kendall ville fair, while eating hie eupper in the ■ Kelly case, choked on a piece of meat and several physicians had difficulty in saving his life. The choking wae followed by a severe attack of heart trouble and for several hours while the physicians worked with him hie chances were regarded as critical He wae removed to the parlore of the Kelly hotel where he wae given restoratives, and he may now recover. Constipation cures headache, nausea, dizziness, languor, heart palpitation Drastic physics gripe, sicken, weaken the bowels and don't cure Doan’e Reg uiets act gently and cure constipation 25 cents.

Lake Park For Gary. Gary is to have an amusement park, at least a lake front park is to be built near Millers, which can be visited with ease by Gary people via a street car line to be built this coming spring between the Baltimore and Ohio tracks at Millers and Lake Michigan. The tract where the amusement park is to be located itfon the east side of the pike, with a frontage on Lake Michigan of about a mile and extending back to the Grand Calumet river, a few hundred feet. The Grand Calumet at this point is from 200 to 400 feet wide and from 10 to 15 feet deep. Pavilions, refreshment stands, bath houses and other features necessary for a full-fledged amusement park will be erected during the coming year. The electric road project has already been financed as has the park project.

Publication of the New Laws. Frank 1. Grubos, Deputy Secretary of State, says that it likely would be the latter part of the month before the work of publishing the acts of the special session of the Legislature is complete. Although only seven bills were passed at the special session, the time required for publication will be almost as long as that required for publishing the acts of a regular session. More than 20,000 copies will be published, and while the work of printing will not amount to much, it will require just as much time to bind 20,000 small volumes as it would to bind as many large ones. Origin of Punctuation. The present system cf punctuation wae introduced in the latter part of the fifteenth century by Aldus Manutiue, a Venetian printer, who was responsible for our full stop, colon, semicolon, comma, marks of interrogation and exclamation, parenthesis and dash, hyphen, apostrophe and quotation marks These were subsequently copied by other printers until their use became universal.—Chicago Journal.

Snakes Plentiful. Considerable alarm is felt in the cities and towns in Kosciusko county because of the fact that snakes, which make their home in the marshes and woods are wriggling their way to the settlements which are less parched as the result of the seven weeks’ drouth. No less than seven species of reptiles and several of a very venomous nature have been killed in Warsaw during the last few days.—Nappanee Advance. Nothing will roll your way unless you get behind it and shove your way.

SOME GOOD IN STINGY MEN. They Usually Pay Their Indebtedness Promptly. “He is close and stingy,” said a man to a number of other men on the corner of a street about a man who had just passed. “I wish there were more like him,” said a weary bill collector who wae resting and trying to get up courage to "tackle” the next customer. ■'When you present a bill to that man he looks it over and if it is all right he goes to the drawer and gets the money and pays it. During several years 1 have been collecting he has not stood off a bill a minute." The professional bill collector sometimes learns to love stingy men. The close fisted person is not brash about having purchases charged; he makes a debt only after careful consideration, and he rarely makes one that he does not expect to pay when it is due. It is the “jolly good fellow” who doesn’t know the value of money—or credit—who is the grief of collectors. There is in this country entirely too much “charge” business, anyway If the people who always find difficulty and embarassment in making buckle and tongue meet would avoid credit as they do contagion they would be vastly better off. Os course, there are some very mean misers who deserve to be criticised and condemned, but every man who is classed as a "close and stingy” miser is not necessarily anything of the sort. He may, on the contrary, be a provident and honest man of sound sense whom the deadbeats who condemn him has found themselves unable to swindle or to rob. —Jacksboro News.

When You Are Tired. Don’t grit your teeth and work harder. Ease up a little. Don’t talk any more than you can help. Talking takes vitality. Lie down in a dark pl?s?e if only for fifteen minutes. Don’t read anything in which you are not interested. Don’t feel that everything must be done in one day. There are 354 more. Realize that it is better to leave things undone than overdo yourself. Avoid people and their woes at that time. Seek some one frivolous. Don’t try to improve yourself. Give your mind a rest. And don’t forget that a little lemon juice in cold water in the morning is a great help. Our meats are home killed, young, tender and juicy, at Bose’s.

OF INTEREST TO THE FARMERS. I , The Feeding Stuff Control Law in its Relation to Producers and Consumers. [Purdue Newspaper Bulletin | Information having reached this office that in some parts of the state the requirements of the Feeding Stuff Law are not understood, it is deemed advisable to issue this bulletin of information. 1. Ihe heeding Stuff Law covers all materials used for the feeding of domestic animals except hay, straw, whole seeds and the unmixed meals made directly from the entire grains of wheat,

rye, barley, oats, Indian corn, buckwheat, broom corn, wheat flours and other flours. All materials except those spe cialiy mentioned as being exempt, must be registered and tagged when offered or exposed for sale in this state. - Ihe law contains no provision which prevents any farmer or consumer from mixing and having ground materials of his own production in any quanti ty and proportion he may desire, for his own use. If after grinding, such mix tures are offered or exposed for sale, they must be registered and tagged. I’or example, a farmer or consumer may mix corn, oats, rye, barley and buckwheat and take it to the mill and have it ground, and such feed does not have to be tagged providing the feed returned to the consumer is made from the materials he took to the mill to have ' ground.

J. Any one in the state may purchase serials separately, mix them in any proportion he desires and have them ground for pay for hie own use without regie tering and tagging. When such materials are purchased already ground and mixed, or are offered or exposed for eale after mixing and grinding, a tag must be given the purchaser with each 100 pounds or fraction. 4. If a consumer takes wheat or other cereals to a mill and has it ground for pay or toll, receiving in return the byproducts such as wheat bran, middlings, etc., from the cereals which he took to the mill, such by products do not have to be tagged. If, however, the consumer takes his wheat or other cereals to the mill and sells it at so much per bushel, taking in exchange so many pounds of wheat bran, middlings or other by-pro-ducts from the common bin, such byproducts must be registered and tagged. 5. Feed shipped outside the state d with the diana tag, but is of

the state in which it is offered for sale. From the preceding it will be seen that the Feeding Stuff Law contains no provisions which interfere with the right of the consumer to have grain of hie own production ground as he may desire, and there is nothing in the law which should in any way cause a discontinuation of the practice in some localities of farmers or millers grinding the grain raised by the consumer for the consumer’s own

use in such quantities and mixtures as he may desire. It should be remembered in this connection that in order not to come under the law the feed returned to the consumer must be from grain or materials which he brought to the mill and not from that brought in by his neighbor. If the grinding ie done for toll and the toll is offered for sale, it must be properly registered and tagged. If after the consumer has had his materials ground into feed he desires to offer some of it for sale, the portion so offered must be registered and tagged. W. J Jones, Jr., State Chemist.

BURGLAR IN THE HOUSE. Burglar Enters Mrs Ina Hudelmyer’s Residence at an Early Hour in the Evening. Somebody entered the residence of Mrs. Ina Hudelmyer Monday evening with the purpose, it is supposed, of committng burglary. Mrs Hudelmyer and her guest, Mrs. Starr, left the house about 7 o’clock to pay a visit to neigh bore. The lights were all turned off in the lower part of the house and the Misses Edith and Gladys retired to their rooms upstairs, where they had a light burning low. About 8 o’clock they heard footsteps in the hallway near their rooms. Miss Edith called for her mother, thinking she might have returned home, but receiving no response, she was then convinced that it was a burglar or some other intruder in the house. On hearing her voice the mysterious visitor was heard to descend the stairs and make his way out of a rear door. Miss Edith and her sister did not venture from their rooms. When Mrs. Hudelmyer returned home she found the rear door leading to the kitchen wide open through which the supposed burglar made his escape. How he gained entrance to the house is not known, as all the doors and windows were thought to be securely fastened. The burglar had evidently been prowling in the neighborhood and seeing the two ladies leave the house with all the lights turned off on the first floor he supposed there was nobody in the house and entered it for the purpose of robbery but was frightened away before succeeding in his design. Nothing was missing from the house. Never can tell when you’ll mash a finger or suffer a cut, bruise, burn or scald. Be prepared. Dr. Thomas’ Eclectric Oil instantly relieves the pain—quickly cures the wound.
