The old style Of crimping the hair by
putting it up in papers has been revived.
When you see a young girl on the street
with her hair in papers you have no bu-
siness to ask her if her beau's coming
that night. He probably is, but that's
none of your business.
just as we are anticipating lucious
feasts of Strawberries smotheredin ream
comes Professor Greenough, of Tennes-
see, with the discovery of a worm in the
very heart of the fruit, a worm entirely
new to chronological science. It is al
eighth of an inch in length and its body
is covered with hair. And yet we must
commend its good taste in selecting the
strawberry for its brief refuge.
Persons who hand a newspaper back
to the postmaster and refuse to take it
out, should remember to look at the tab
and see if they are in arrears. If they
owe anything the publisher can, under
the law, keep OF sending it and collect
the full amount. The lawful way to do
is to go to the publisher, pay what you
owe and stop the paper in a gentlemanly
and business-like way.

Families in Eaton that had been diet

were made to feel a na~useousness in their
stomachs last week on learning that a

a well developed piece of dog hide, hair
and all, in a can that he purchased for
home consumption. At least Ed. Alli-
son, chemist, after careful examination
pronounced it yaller dog!
The walking craze seems to have taken
a renewed hold on the public again.
Half of Eaton gathered on the corners of
Main and Barron streets last Monday af-
ternoon about 2 o'clock, TO witness the
arrival from Richmond City, Ind, of
several walking idiots who started from
that city on a seventy-two hours tramp
for a wager OF $500; divided $3.50, 500
and $50. Strange that such sums of mo-
ney are fooled. away on such nonsense.
