the land subject to entry under that act is loca-

II was in Marion county the other
day." said a lawyer to q reporter, land
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 age his father suggested to the
grandfather that, 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 soon
err 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 awhile the son got badly in
debt, and so anxious was he to escape
payment of his obligations that he made
a deed of the farm to his son. Every
thing moved smoothly for time, until
one day the farmer gave some instruc-
lions 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 or
dered 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 go, and he did.
After the departure OF the father, the
son 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 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 farm hand in Wabash
Township, this county"

We who stand by when Death the latch
Uplifts as fades my little day,
Speak not to me or seek to catch
The last faint words say.
Let me but hear sweet music's spell
Then welcome, Death! shall die well.
TIM tired of words-too tired to try
To separate the false from true;
Better to cease the strife and die
With nought of earth in view.
Give me sweet sounds of music, and
shall not ask to understand
A Melody wherein the heart
It's utter WEAKNESS forgets,
Where harmony with tender art
Heals all life's sore regrets.
Let music be my dying breath
From sleep to dreams; from dreams to death.
