MOTHERS DoN'T KNow-How many child
rem are punished for being uneouth, wilful,
and Indifferent to instructions or rewards,
simply because they are out of health! An
intelligent lady said of a child of this kind:
''Mothers should know that if they would
give the little ones moderate doses of Hop
Bitters for two or three weeks, the children
would be all a parent could desire"

Origin of kIne GraSs.

1t may not be uninteresting to onr
readers to know that blue grass, SO
famous in Kentucky, was first raised
in Indiana at little Indian village
called Mama Village, on White
River, in Hamilton County. In the
year 1871 John and William Conner
were stolen by the Indians from
Pittsburgh, Pa, and brought to this
village. John here became the chief
man among the Indians, and through
him we learn that blue grass was Il
native of what is now Hamilton. In
1910, as General Harrison's army was
returning South, they took quantities
of it to Vincennes and Kentucky, and
from there it spread. Judge Finch,
of indianapolis, has often been heard
to corroborate this statement, and it
may be accepted as correct that blue
grass was first raised in what was
then known as the Northwestern
Territory, now Indiana.-Plainfeld

would be wrong to place tho Pension building
insome part OF these great parks, then tho

unwisely placed. large party OF gentlemen,
having no interest In any real estate pool or
