Hole, and 'Leven More Poems," a dozen of
James WhitGomb Riley's best Hoosier
dialect sketches in verse, which have gained
wide newspaper currency within the
past year, have been grouped together and
published in book form by George O. Hit 81
Co., of indianapolis. The series appeared
originally over the pseudonym of "Benj. T.
Johnson, of Boone" and were supposed to
reflect the real worth of that "homely child
of nature" as the author styles him, the
country poet
Who, through the long days of labor,
And nights devoid Of ease,
Stll heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
The sketches are full of sentiment, pure
and rich, and the quaiptness and rough SIM
plicity of the language adds to rather than
detracts from the beauties of the thought.
A philosopher always, Benjamin +. johnson
is sometimes moved to utter sweet bits of
comfort, as when he concludes lin the "Dis-
curaged Farmer that
The world is full of roses, and the roses full of
dew,
Aud the dew is full Of Heavenly love that drlps
fer me and YOU"
Ho notices that
Its uatchural enough, guess,
When some gifts more and some gifts less,
Fer them uns on the sllmmest side
To claim it amt fair divide.
And I've knowed some to lay and wait,
And Git up soon, and set up late,
To ketch some teller they could hate
Fer gOin' ut q faster gait,
"Ofa a crisp and sunny morning of the airly
autumn days" ho fills his lungs with the per-
fumed air OF the fields and observes:
The husky, rusty rustic of the tosses of the corn
Aud the raspin' of the tangled leaves, golden as
the morn
| The stuhble In the turries-kindo' lonesome-like
A preachjn' sermon to US of the barns they growed
The straw stack in the medder, and the reaper in
| the shed,
The hoses in their stalls beow-the clover over
head;
O. it sets my heart a-clickin' like the tckin of q
clock,
| When the frost is on the pumpkin, and the fod
| ders in the shock.
For his sorrow at tho death of little Mahala
Ashcroft he finds relief in communion with
nature. Listen:
Little Halyl Little lIalyl" cheeps the robin ii
Little Halyi" signs the clover, Little Haly ?
| moans the bee;
Little Halyl Little HalyP calls the killdeer at

And the Eatydids and crckets hollors "Halyl" al

Mr.. Riley's verses uneonsciously attract
They refresh like a cool draught from tn,
fountain of nature, They touch u responsive
chord in the human heart. They will wi

Avoid Sunstroke.

Be careful about sunstroke. The
first fierce heats of summer are always
most dangerous, because they catch
us unprepared. During times of ex-
element in very hot weather, people
are apt to forget their danger and re-
main too long exposed to the direct
heat of the sun. 1t is best to slaclIen
up the labors of business, particularly
between two and FIVE o'clock, and to
avoid free indulgence in stimulating
beverages. But the old idea that wa
ter should be sparingly used, is ex-
ploded Drink what cold water you
want, only do not take much at time.
Frequent sips of cold water are cool
ing and keep up the perspiration.-
Large draughts are, however, danger
Gus. The main thing is to avoid over
work and fret. Take it easy.

Church Door Loungers.

With spring loneliness came also
the spring suit and white necktie. =
Boys and girls, young men and mai
dens fair, are now arrayed in more
gorgeousness than is the lily of the
valley-therefore all young people go
to church, especially Sunday evening.
The good girl goes into the church to
worship, and the boy goes to church
to take her home. There is nothing
so delightful as taking girl home
from church. AS we have said, all
good girls, when they have got their
spring bonnets, go to church. All
good young men do not. AS the next
best thing the young man constitutes
himself curbstone ranger after ser
vice is over and bravely escorts the
good girl to her home. He has his
new hat, his dainty spring suit, his
dudish gloves, and his heart and throat
bursting with great gobs of love. He
is too statuesque in his light panta-
looms to be annoying in any offensive
sense. He only stares-a sweet, pen
sive, lover-like stare-a sort of I-won-
der the old man sin bed look which
is too amusing to resent, The curb
stone lover is therefore tolerated. The
town sergeant does not interfere with
him. Like corporation he has per-
petual succession, and 50 long has he
existed that by common consent he is
considered church attachment, hence
he is never disturbed. AS we do not
believe in the efficacy Of law or police
in regulating the whims of lovers, we
do not ask our representative to intro
duce any reform measure into the
Legislature on the matter. We do
not want statute against curbstone
lovers. If, like the sparrows, lovers
are nuisances, we can get rid of them
in our own way. If the Sunday even
ing lover must take his form away
from the church door, the good girl
can bring about the moving
If the good girl who goes to church
to worship would kindly, gently, per-
haps tearfully, tell her lover that she
must 60 by herself, she can return by
herself; that she does not like to be
singled out before crowd of tight
pantalooned loungers, and be exposed
to silly stares and dudish comments
that her parents do not like it that
she does not like it herself; the habit
is ridiculous, if not one of absolute
bad taste. IF all this, said with her
yellow hair floating in the summer
breeze, with arm dangerously entwin-
ed around her lovers collar, and eyes
turned toward heaven with liquid
yearning, as if she saw amid the stars
the picture of brown stone front and
a coach and four, then, we think, the
lover will wilt and vanish from the
earth. We recommend the remedy.
Personally the curbstone lover does
not annoy us. He amuses us. We
speak for those who have other taste.
We ask as a favor that he be permit
ted to show his good clothes Sunday
next, and then give him the grand !

"Have to offer you;
To each'of eight single room,
But the ninth must serve for two"
A din arose. The troubled host
Could only scratch his head;
For of these tired men no two
Would occupy one bed.
The puzzled host was soon at ease
He was a clever man
And to please his guests devised
This most ingenious plan:

In room marked A two men were placed
The third he lodged in B;
The fourth to G was then assigned;
The fifth retired to D.
In E he tucked the sixth away,
In f the seventh man;
The eighth and ninth in G and III,
And then to A he ran,
Wherein the host as have said,
Had laid two travellers by,
Then taking one-the tenth and last
He lodged him safe in 1.

Were made to serve for ten;
And this it is that puzzles me,
And many wiser men.

tenement-hOuses owned by that firm, were dis

Cigar-makers' Progressive Union found places for
them. Bach * Co. offered to permit them 10 re-
main if they would surrender their union cards and
books, and leave the union, but they refused to
accept the offer.
The cgar-makers employed by Ash & Co. at
Fifth and Lewis SITS, went on strike yesterday, at
the order of the Progressive Union against re-
ductiOn of 30 cents a thousand.
The employing tailOrs have resolved to break up
