OLD sErrLhRs, MEETINGS

The season is at hand for the reunion Of
old settlers-pioneers OF those far away days
when Indiana was lin her dawn" when
farms were mere c'earings; when higdw
were blszed through the forests; when the
palatial residences of merchant princes
and LANDED aristocrats' we're log cabins,
and the richest men of the border had TO
rife the lands of their neighbors, the domain
of their Uncle Samuel, or go hungry. II
may be true that there are thousands
within our borders, recognized as
old settlers. who found when they
came society well orgShizsd and many
evidences Of culture and advancement, bar it
was long before the star of empire had
reached the zenith and while the romance of
pioneer life was still fresh in the minds OF
all. 1t is always in order, therefore, at old
settlers meetings to talk of the by-gone
days-primitive times, when, as compared
with the present society was crude; that is to
say, fashion was mild in its sway and its vo.
tsries few and far between. In those good
and grand old days full suit of butternut
jeans was royal attire for the uncrowned
soyereigns, and the ladies of the household
were qusenly in their ''linsey woolsey' or
two Bit calico, of which eight
yards were sufficient whether the
gown was for Church, ball or
reception. Then doctors were few and far
between. and as q consequence, from the
sugar trough cradle to mature manhood and
womsnhood physical development was such
that human beings came mp TO the highest
standards Of stature and strength. In mat
tiers OF religion there was more faith than
fashion, nor did the people dream of the time
coming, when higher civilization would de-
monstrate necessity for change in creeds
and forms of worship as urgent as a change
in public conveysncee-a change rs great as

The advice she gives may not be couched

warning from the sad but justly deserved fate OF
Buck Stout, and be careful never to do anything

Quite likely there are mothers who are not
in the habit OF saying "be good boy" when
their boys go away, and there are many boys
who, like Buck Stout, forget the affectionate
advice OF mothers. 1t will be well for them
to reflect and reform. Nothing better could
be said to them than to be good boys" Bad

THE LIMITATIONS OF FREE THINK
ING

In the September number Of the North
American Review we find a paper by Rev.
DR.. ID. s. Phelan, captioned 1.-The Limita-
tons of Free Thinking" The writer is ex-
cessively ornate. The article abounds in
pretty rhetorical figures and hourishes, and
the reader will find il captivating and posi-
bly, convincing. We have read of men so
cowardly, 80 low, vulgar and groyelling. that
theydared not claim the custodianship of their
own souls Such men belong to the tribe OF
craven lickspittles, and when found il is al
ways on the bottom round of the
ladder of human degradation. To
talk about the limitations OF
free thinking is equivalent to an attempt
10 measure the universe of God with yard
stick. There. are no limitations OF free
thinking. The realm OF the human mind
has no boundaries. Rev. DIR. Phelan has a

that which marks the difference between q
wheelbarrow and a palace car. The old set
tiers in their reunions, in these days of tele-
graphs, railroads, electricligh tand telephones,
when the old has passed away, and the new
is everywhere enthroned, love to come to-
getber, recount the scenes of their child
hood and exchange "reminiscences. These
old settlers meetings are steadily moving
west. After few years there will be no old
settlers meetings in Indiana. We shall read
of them far away towards the setting sun,
as empire States are mapped out OF Terri
tories to take their places in the shining
constellation of States. But after few gen.
erations more the meetings OF old settlers,
from the Atlantic to tine golden shores of the
Pacific, will live only in du Jt-laden tones
and tradition. This seems to be
the view the people have OF
the matter, and as consequence
when meeting of old settlers is announced
anywhere in the State the attendance is
large. The young come to greet the old, and
as the aged pioneer looks upon the vast as
semblage thoughts OF the far away days come
throDging through his brain, and none be-
grudge him the pleasure he feels in remem-
bering that he helped to lay the foundations
of the Commonwealth and contribute, how
ever little, to the wealth, prosperity, power,
glory and happiness which he beholds. 1t is

Nothing is more Characteristic Of the
novice in gardening than q reluctance To
use the knife. Many seem to fear that
they will cause pain, and will no more cut
their pet plants than they would amputate
the limbs Of their pc. animals. Those who
give proper attention 10 their plants,
whether soit.wooded or shrubs and trees
are, at first, in their early growth, as tender
as those OF a geranium. These shoots Of
summer will, by autumn, have ripened
aud become as hard Us the rest Of the tree
or shrub. Take o iavorite pear tree for
example. II left to itself, there will be
found, when the leaves fall, shoots that
are not wanted, but which, as they
make q thick and crowded head,
must be cut out. Had these shoots been
entirely removed, or kept short by pinch.
ing eff their tips in the summer, there
would have been no need TO use the knife.
Not only irnit trees, but towering shrubs,
can be greatly benefited and kept in shape,
II the owner who works among them will
make timely use Of the thumb and finger
to pinch of the growing points OF all shoots
that push where branches are not wanted.
The same Is true Of softwooded plants. A
timely pinching Of the shoots will convert
geranium that would be loDg-branched
and "leggy," into compact specimen, fit
to remove to the window 10 autumn. The
