Paid in His Own Coin.

II was in Marion County the other
day" said a lawyer to a reporter, and
heard of the death of an old man ] had
known there, and it recalled peculiar
case of retributive justice in that
family.
Years ago the old man owned one of
the best farms in the country, and his
son assisted him in working it. The
son married and had a son. When the
grandson was about fifteen years of ago
his father suggested to the grandfather
that, as he was growing old and had
worked hard all his life, he take things
easy and rest the remainder of his DAYS.
He asked the old man to deed the farm
to him and let him take sole charge of
it, with the aid of the grandson. He
promised the old farmer good home
and an easy life as long as he lived.
The old man finally decided the property
to his son,
mo sooner had he obtained the title
to the property than the son began a
system of the most heartless treatment
of his father. He compelled him to
work harder than he had ever done for
himself. would not permit him to eat at
the family table. and subjected him to
all kinds of prosecutions. The grand
son protested in vain against this treat
ment of his grandfather and finally the
old man left the home that he had made
and found an asylum in the County
Poor House.
After while the son got badly in
debt, and so anxious was was he to
escape payment of his obligations that
he made deed of the farm to his son.
Everything moved smoothly for time,
until one day the farmer gave some in
structions that did not agree with his
sons ideas and the latter refused to
consent to them. The father declared
that his wishes should be carried out,
and ordered his son to leave the place.
The son, however, reminded him that
he held the title to the farm himself,
and, that as they could not get along
together, the father would have to 90,
| and he did.
after the departure of the father,
the son re-established his grandfather
in possession OF the farm, deciding back
everything The old man, however,
| gave the farm absolutely to his grand
son, who provided amply for the old
man until he died. The boys father
was offered a home on the old place,
but refused to accept anything but the
title to it all, and the last heard of him
he was working as a farm hand in
Wabash Township, this county. -

LincOln's Gettysburg Speech.

President Lincold made a speech,
which has become famous, at Gettys-
burg Nov. 10, 1863. Gen. Meade had
won the battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3,
which destroyed the last hope the
Confederates had of invading the
North, and proved to be the turning
point of the war. At the dedication of
the cemetery i'll which the slain of this
battle were buried, President lincoln
made brief address which has been
pronounced the finest ever delivered
on a similar occasion, and which has
become familiar to the entire English
speak ng world. The martyr President
said:
-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this conti-
nent new ttion, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on a great battle
field Of that war. We have come to
ded cate portion of that field as a
final restiug-pl zee for t'rose who have
given ticir lives that that ration might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and proper
that We should do this. But in larger
sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot
cousecrate, we cannot hallow this
ground The brave men, living and
dead, who struggled here, have conse-
Grated it far above our power to add on
detract The world will little note,
nor long remember, what we say here
but it cannot forget what they did here.
1t is for us, the living, rather to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far. so nobly advanced. 1t is rather for
us to be here dedicated to the great
work remaining before Us; that from
these honored dead we take increased
devotion to the cause for which they
gave the last full measure Of devotion
that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that
this nation, under God, shall have a
new birth of freedom; and that govern
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people shall not perish from the
| earth. Inter ocean.

1t is sometimes forgotten that coughs
properly so called and in their
integrity-are convulsive, exploratory
efforts intended to eject from the air
cells or passages of the lungs, or from
the windpipe or larynx, either secretions
or exudations, or occasionally foreign
substances, which impede the act of
respiration. Unfortunately, there is
seldom any constant relation between
the frequency and force of cough
and the physical need for it. This is
because the act being, of course, per-
formed by virtue of special excitation
of the nervous system, the degree of
eXcitabilitY of the nerves concerned in
the muscular contractions producing
cough determines its force and FREE
quency, instead of their being governed,
as they ought to be, solely bv the
exigencies of expulsion. Moreover,
owing to the sympathetic connection of
nerves energizing different groups of
muscles, and in relation with different
centers, cough may be produced by
excitations which are not local to the
breathing organs. Therefore, we find
that cough. Which ought to be very
simple process or function of a re-
medal, or, at least, physically helpful
kind is, III fact, itself cause of dis
turbance and disease by reason of ex-
cessive and ,lisorderly character. Very
grave mistakes are made in practice by
treating cough as n pulmonary affec-
ton and IN itself morbid. London

In all civilized nations inventors are

been proved beyond all peradventure
that of all the fortunes made by inven-
tions not one dollar n hundred has
benefited the man who thought out the
improvement, which the public were
taxed to pay for. New and improved
ways of doing things are rarely tho
product of one mind Hundreds of in
genious men have worked together to

phone, the electric light, as well as all
the machines which have filled the
world with fabrics used by mankind.
A particularly ili-used class in this
respect Is oar authors A book, play,

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality Of them. Ina SOLID
COLD WATCH CASE, aside from the recss-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion Of the metal is needed
only to stiflen and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some nctal
that viii supply that in which the gold IS
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss' Gold Watch CASE - -.
which saves the WASTE Of nesi- =

reduces the cost ONE HALF.
