WALKERTON INDEPENDENT A. ENDLEk, Publisher WALKERTON. . INDIANA It’s better to occupy a thatched cottage than a marble mausoleum. The man who isn’t satisfied until he is married isn’t always satisfied then. Hope has been described’ as a “life preserver with most of the cork out of it.” The only thing wrong with money is that there isn’t enough of it to go round. Few of us have shoulders that will not droop under the weight of imaginary troubles. A craze for aeroplanes is developing. , But that is a business which is liable : to frequent drops. Iceland is eager for home rule. In ■ other words, its people want to be their own icemen. Who was it that said the new feminine hat wasn’t to be bigger and moie umbrageous than ever? Evq-v Alfred Austin bursts into song a serif^nf critical explosions occurs all overW^. wor i d The proper study of mankind is man, but the most talked of one just at present is tuberculosis. About this time paterfamilias gets stalled with questions from Young Hopeful on school subjects. Maybe the airship will oust the warship, but it will have to take several feeds of gas or gasoline first. The man who prides himself on al- ; ways saying what he thinks seldom succeeds in saying anything any one i else wants to hear. Aeroplanes of the Wright pattern 1 are to be on the market soon at about | $4,000 each. Take a few home to amuse the children. The Bocootaw’anankes Canoe club was recently organized at Pawtuxet, | R. I. Imagine a girl trying to work i that name onto a sofa pillow! Now that it has been discovered I that sweet potatoes make an excellent i brain food some philanthropist should work to have the price reduced. A whistling buoy adrift is scaring mariners on the wide Atlantic. But if I it only refrains from “The Merry Widow,” et al., all may yet be well. And now some one claims that a girl I knows two weeks before a man even admits to himself that she is rather attractive what hour he will propose. Though it is foretold by aeroplane manufacturers that the battleships are ; doomed, the scuttling of those impres- i sive vessels will be postponed awhile. ! It is easier now for stranded British- I ers in this country to write home for j money. The same happy condition applies to stranded Americans in Eng- I land. ; Will the broken-down English nobleman who marries a poor girl at home instead of an American heiress be given an annuity from the Carnegie hero fund? Emperor Franz Joseph still enjoys his favorite pastime of hunting at Ischl, and in spite of his 78 years climbed 5,000 feet the other day and shot four stags. Andrew Carnegie has now established a hero fund of $1,250,000 for Scotland, with listening to bagpipe music barred as a reason for getting in the money. The navy wants an airship which will float as well as fly. Naval experts understand that it is entirely possible to be in the air and in deep water at one and the same time. King Edward, though a gracious sovereign, is a busy man, and probably never will find time to make a lord out of our distinguished ex-countryman, William Waldorf Astor. The Wright brothers between them have established the fact that flight like a bird is possible, but also that It is very difficult. It requires no merely good flying machine, but a good operator. However, says the Brooklyn Eagle, once a man learns how to fly with freedom, he will have thousands of rivals. The human part of the problem is easy, and on its mechanical side it is approaching solution. Two-thirds of the habitual inebriates under some form of public care in Great Britain are mentally defec-

The man who permits him- | self to become incapacitated through i the gratification of any appetite is I deficient, either mentally or morally. । With passage paid for and trunks aboard, a family of nine stayed on the wharf in New York and saw their ship sail away for France, because the wife and mother had a premonition that the ship was going down. The ship did not go down; but if it had, how eagerly that foolish premonition would have been seized upon by the superstitious to find cause and effect in what is merely coincidence! Fortunately, most of-the things that our vague apprehension foresees are not there when we come to them. The navy department has asked per mission to use the Washington mon ument as a telegraph pole—not a com mon or street-disfiguring variety o1 pole for stringing wires on. but as a station for temporary experiments wifi wireless telegraphy. It is believed that from its top, 555 feet in the air. mes sages can be sent to warships 3.00 miles away. If this is found possible, an iron tower of the same height will be erected in Washington for a per man ent wireless station. The French _ tower

SPRING FLOWS IN DRY FIELD. Another Phenomena of Nature Appears Near Plainfield. Piainfield.— Charles Oursler, a farmer living near this city, was having trouble getting water for his stock a few’ days ago because of the continued dry weather. Now a flowing spring is furnishing water for 50 head of stock.

Since that time there has been a steady flow of water and there is no indication of the newly arrived oasis disappearing. Since there had been no recent rains here when the spring appeared, its origin is a mystery. At the point where the spring appeared the land is fairly level. The spring has worn a trench in the about ten fe^Aong. A sim1 / Ave' miles east of this offe, and th»-wip— ‘ nation of its origin is as hard to find as the one on the Oursler farm.

Society of Equity Is Formed at Indianapolis Convention. — Indianapolis, Ind. —The Farmers' Society of Equity was organized here Thursday afternoon at a convention of representatives from a number of | states.

AUTO ACCOMPANIES A BALLOON. Thus Aeronauts May Return to Starting Point Easily.

Indianapolis, Ind.—Something new I in aeronautics was attempted here Friday afternoon when a monster bal- I loon with a capacity of UO,OOO cubic feet of gas shot up into the air with an automobile in the place where a basket is usually suspended. The asi cension was made in the north part of the city, the balloon carrying two occupants—Carl G. Fisher of Indiaapolis and G. L. Baumbaugh of Springfield, 111.

0. A. BLODGETT DIES | PIONEER LUMBER MERCHANT OF MICHIGAN PASSES AWAY. FOUNDED THREE TOWNS j Was a Heavy Investor in Southern Pine Lands—Attack of Hiccoughs Fatal to Prominent Georgian. Grand Rapids, Mich. —Delos A. I Blodgett, for 60 years closely identij fled with the lumber industry of the j country, died at his home here, in his eighty-fourth year. He was born in Otsego county. New York, in 1825. In 1847 he began work in an Upper Michigan sawmill, finally becoming one of the heaviest timber I operators of the state. In 1885 he began buying southern timber land and : j was one of the first northern men to , I make such investments. He and his associates are among the largest hold- ' I ers of southern pine to-day. He founded the villages of Hersey, Evart and Baldwin, Mich., and was one of the first to demonstrate the value of northern Michigan land for ,

agricultural purposes. He was always | a Republican and was a delegate-at-large to the national conventions of 1892 and 1900, and several times dis- . trict delegate. He was married in 1858 to Jennie S. Wood, and to this marriage were born John W. Blodgett, Republican national committeeman for Michigan, and Mrs. Edward Lowe.

I AM A MOTHER How many American women in lonely homes to-day long for this blessing to come into their lives, and. to be able to utter these words, but because of some organic derangement this happiness is denied them. Every woman interested in this subject should know that preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by the use of LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Maggie Gilmer, of West Union, S. C.,writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “ I was greatly run-down in health from a weakness peculiar to my sex, when Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was recommended to me. It not only restored me to perfect health, but to my delight I am a mother.” Mrs. Josephine Hall, of Bardstown, Ky., writes: “ I was a very great sufferer from female troubles, and my physician failed to help me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound not only restored me to perfect health, but I am now a proud mother.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and h'erbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceraj tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, I periodic pains, backache, that bear--1 ing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration. Why don’t you try it ? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
