Have You an Abstract of Title to Your
Land.

If not you had better have one made
at once. It seems strange that farmers
and Others will buy and sell land with
out an abstract of title being made
that would show clear title to the
possession to the land. How many
farmers are there that have no papers
to show complete title to the land
they own? OF course it costs little
money to have an abstract of title made,
but then it pays in the end. Hundreds
Of acres of land in Putnam County are
changing hands each week, and it be-
hooves the purchaser to ask for and re-
cpive an abstract before closing the bar
gain. The following from the Sidney
Democrat will show what carelessness
on the part of owners or purchasers of
land will do:
Readers of the Democrat will remem-
ber an item of last july in which refer
ence was made to the discovery by Mrs.
Susan Quiniinsk, Of Orange township;
that she had no title to S13 acres ofland
which she had pure hased in 1882. In
July she instructed Recorder Hudson
Gartley to make an abstract of title for
the land in question. He found her IT,
tie to he defertive by reason of there be-
ing no patent deed on the records.
Further search developed the fact that
her farm had been recorded as being in
section 80, town g. range IL, Miami
county, which originally had heen pur-
chased of the United States hy John
Rodgers. Her deed was designed to be
for 'one-half of the northeast quarter Of
section 80. town 2, range 13. in Shelby
county," hut bv a bunder had for years
been on record as i'm range II in Miami
county. The 81 acres upon which she
lived was bought from the State in 1882
by John l.. Moore. The title was per-
fected by House Bill No. 4, introduced
in the Legislature on the 39th Of Janua-
nv hy P Hunt, aud signed by Gov.
Foraker on the 2d of this month. 1t is

nature, pure and simple, can revel in
dreamy bliss to his hearts content Frank
j. Bowman, the noted st. Louis criminal
lawyer, formerly came here to spend his
summers, but he did not show
up this year. Judge Laughlin's
wife-a pleasant faced, matronly lady
always accompanies him, and she takes as
much delight IN the sports as the judge
himself. She is fond of hunting deer at
night, and takes long tramps over the hills
and rides in a canoe to get q shot at the
game. She is also an expert angler and
enjoys day with the rod and reel.
The judge has built a convenient little
one-story log house. in the shape of
cross with one room in each side wing,
and long hall running between and OK
landing out in front and rear, on the ends
OF which are bay windows. The windows
can be raised, and cool breeze blows con-
stantly through the hall. A colOred man
acts as cook and valet, and the
Laughlin summer cottage" Is one
of the most delightful spots on earth for
quiet enjoyment and real pleasure. The
judge dspenses hospitality with a royal
hand. and his friends from the South visit
him at frequent intervals during the season.
There are few people who extract more
solid comfort from life than Judge and

on him, but his Slumber was rot IN
the least disturbed. Flies came nigh unto
him. They settled about his swarthy face.
He minded them not, but slumbered on.
The aroma of the burlng peanuts, Which
became very strong, moved him not.
From the rear door of the fruit store
cOrpnlent matron was visible. She was
engaged within. The odor of the burning
nuts made its way into the room. She
noticed it at once. Out of the door she
wabbled. Not a word did she utter.
Straight for the sleeping man she made her
way. In reaching distance she grabbed
him and gave him such shaking up that
for the nonce he entertained the belief that
an earthquake was in progress.
She talked to him in musical Italian while
she shook him to and fro. Exhausted at
last the matron released her grip, while he
frightened his grip on the crank of the
roasting machine and revolved it with great
rapldity. Still talking to him the corpu-
lent woman made her way back to the
store. He saw nothing.
AS she disappeared from sight he got UP
and adjusted his coat and calico shirt
which had been somewhat demoraliZed
by the recent shaking up. He
pulled the strap. which served as a
belt around his waist, up tighter and sat
down. The fat woman reappeared. In
her hand she had number of toy balloons.
Without word he took the airy playthings
and started down the street. 1t was evil
dent he was being punished for his care

day from the West, and left for Saratoga

SHE QUESTIONED HIM.

"Dare trust you"
The speaker was a young woman, whose
sombre dress and Grape trimmings pro-
claimed the fact that she was either widow
or a recent mourner over some near and
dear relative. AS she stood IN the mellow
light of the dimly illuminated drawing
room her beauty of face and figure was
most striking. Dainty did she appear as
she toyed with her gloves, which had just
heen removed, and again with the Grape
strings to her bonnet, folding and smooth
ing ont the creases as she sought to make
up her mind
Before her stood a young man. He was
going away. 4 travelling bag was sus-
nepded from his shoulder. He had his hat
in his hand and moved it around as the
conversation progressed. He looked not at
the nretty mourner but directed his gaze 10
the carpet and, with his umbrella. was
busily engaged in tracing out the patterns
and designs thereof.
He said not a word in reply to her query,
which forms the opening sentence OF THIS
brief little romance in real life. Neither
did he move toward the party propoundlng
the question. Dignifed and apart he sat,
determined, apparently, not to commit
himself too easily.
s'Can l trust you?" she repeated, as if
talking to herself.
$50 YOU doubt my" he asked.
Not in the least" she said.
.'Why do you ask this" he continued.
Because" replied she, ''since l have
been keeping boarders l have learned to
trust nobody. You must either pay your
bill. or leave your trunk as security.

MAKING THE MOST OF LIFE.

Judge Laughlin, of st. Louis, passed
through st. Paul a few days ago, returning
to his home after spending the summer in
the widest and most picturesque portion of
the Lake Superior country, and in most
unique and satisfactory manner. too.
His fancy led him to select Pike Lake, a
pretty body of water in the plneries of Wis
consin, some three miles away from the
Northern Pacific railroad running from
Ashland to Superior. The country is UNI
inhabited. and the judges little log cabin.
on an island in the lake, is the only evidence
of civilization to be seen. There is a new
hotel, just erected, at the railroad, but other
wise there is nothing but vast forest
of pine trees for miles in every direction.

Apparently not interested in the passing
objects, or the passers by. as he slowly
moves along the familiar streets and ave-
nues. he looks neither to the left or right.
Down OH the ground he concentrates his
gaze and only looks up when required to
do so in order that a collision may be
averted. In study, deep and all-absorb-
ing, does he appear to be, as he trudgeS
along.
No particular portion of the city claims
his attention. He is seen in nearly every
locality. New buildings have no charm
for him, as he passes them by without
more than hastY glance. The most
noticeable public improvements stay not his
steps for a moment. He appears surprised
when such improvements prevent his travel
over certain streets that he is wont to
traverse, but goes around the distractions
and continues on his journey.
Time and again he passes the German
Catholic church on the corner of Ninth and
Franklin streets, and every time the i'm
mense structure appears in sight he takes
off his hat and bows most humbly at the
two tall spires. No matter what the state
of the weather, in sunshine and in the rain.
he fails not to perform his self-imposed
obeisance. His long white locks are scat
tered by the wind, or are dampened by the
rain as he removes his hat.
: His story is a simple one. His only son
was engaged as carpenter on the church
edifice. High up on the Spire the young
man was employed during the construction
of the building. He fell: the result of
some accident, and was killed instantly.
His old father never quite got over the
schock and broOds over his sons untimely
death. In some vague way the old man
feels called upon to raise his hat to the
steeple whereon his boy met sudden
death. He performs the self-imposed duty
Oh all occasions.

TIE WEST.

o no for the West, the boundless West,
Where pastures and creeds are broad;
Where the breeze is tonic that thrills the
breast.
Blown straight from the hills of God!
The East is land of dead mems bones,
Laid tier on moldering tier;
Ard the damp malaral wind that means
Is the breath of those dead men near.
And its slow, pale people seem merely wraiths
That have strayed away from the tomb,
Clutching their cold ancestral faiths
And wrapped in the garments of gloom.
And the mountains rise up and restrict the
sight
As its creeds restrict the soul:
But away and over the frowning hight
Those billowy pastures roll.
And there the people are flesh and blood,
Sinew, and muscle, and brain;
And the strong life-tide is a crimson flood
Thrilling through nerve and vein.
They ride for miles DER meadows of green.
They follow the trail of the kline.
And scarcely a tomb by the way is seen,
And the air they drink is like wine.
Brown of feature and bold Of heart,
They ride in the face of the blast;
And nature is dearer to them than art,
And the present is more than the past.
They do not sit down by the tombs of the
dead
They live in the world of To- day:
For the present is here, and the past has fed,
And the future is on the way.

aroused from the dream OF bliss
by the approach of the last car. The
peoples vehicle is ever Tedolent of tobacco
and whisky. 1t is godsend to the fellow
in the saloon with shaky legs who is yanked
on by the conductor, and lies down to
snOoZe to the discomfort of everybody but
himself. The tired, little messenger yawns
and mods, while the fat printer next to him
SHORES the same as he does every night the
year round. Areporter is the only indi-
vidual who is wide awake, and he takes OBJ
seryationS of the motley gang in the owl
cart. Of course, the Sleepers must put
their big feet on the seat and open their
mouths to let their whisky breaths fun
ig tie the premises. The peace of the
surroundings is only disturbed by the
sweet voice of the conductor as he
grabs the fat man by the collar and
yells in his ear: ''Say, this is your street.
if you want to get Off" If the man is an
old-timer, he rubs his half-closed eyes, and
jumps but green-horn says. Yes" and
finally has to walk back several squares for
his extra slice of slumber, and swears all
the way. Surely, travelling on the all-night
car is not conducive to angelic Jempers.
The most interesting sight, and one which
one but a fellow too full to be entertained,
is pair of Iingerers at ball or dance-hall.
They seem to think that the nightcar is
the last chance for ''spooning' before the
girl is set down at the paternal threshold.
Matilda and John are very amusing
in their dove-like way. She lays
her head on his shoulder con-
fidingly, and actually loses consciousness.
He pays no attention to the winks OF his
fellow passengers as they nudge each other
significantly. But there isu't one Of them
but would change places with him, espe-
cially when the feminine responsibility rest
ing upon him is pretty. The only cold
blooded, Indifferent person to such a scene
is the conductor, He rudely awakens Ma
tilda by calling to John, This is Seventh
street," and, as the couple slowly depart,
the gang. deprived of something to drive
away sleep, stretch out for nap, but some
fellow lights bad cigar, and another who
has made protracted call at his favorite
saloon, sticks bis head hastily out of the
window-and, well-he feels better, and is
sober afterwards. Human nature, as eX-
hibited in the last car, is not "a thing of
beauty and joy forever"
