$500 Reward for a Lost Cat

The equivalent in English money of So,
800 was once offered by an old lady in
London for the return of a favorite cat
which had strayed or been stolen. Peo-
pie called her a CRANK" and perhaps she
was. 1T is unfortunate that one of the
gentler sex should ever gain this title, yet
many do. 1t is, however, frequently not
their fault Often functional derange-
ments will apparently changea woman's
entire nature. Don't blame such suffer-
ers if they are ''cranky," but tell them to
use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
which is an infallible remedy for female
weaknesses" 1t will soon restore them
to their normal condition. 1t is warran-
ted tc give satisfaction in every case. or
money paid for it will be returned.

To remove iron mould and ink from
linen fabrics, wet thespots with milk, then
cover them with common salt. This
should be done before the linen is washed
Another way to take out ink is to dip the
spotted part in melted tallow. For very
fine articles this is the better way.

Eighteen Hundred and Ninety.
"a HAPPY NEW YEAR" TO ALL OF OUR
READERS.

NOiselessly and almost imperceptably,
while the world was sleeping, the pendu-
lum swayed over the unseen line which
separated the old year from the new, and
we have fairly stepped out on the last de-
cade of the nineteenth century. Somehow
this event suddenly seems to make us
feel old! We begin to think, perhaps,
that while entering upon these last "nine-
ties" that we are among the last days,
and that soon, even before we know it,
the mark of a completed century will be
stamped upon our lives! How strange
to train our hands to write the new date,
and how many of us have thoughtlessly
written "S9" as if loath to let the old year
go even from the grasp of our pen.
Have we not as we finished reading an
entertaining book, regretfully turned
back the leaves, to linger over the open
ing pages, as if to say: Pm sorry it is
Finished in like manner do we part with
the old year as if from an old, dear, and
tried friend
The LIST of January is the usual time
for retrospective and good resolutions.
What has the closing of the old year
brought to us? varied assortment of
hopes were INDUCED in at it's beginning
have they been realized? AS for good
resolutions, they were legion for aught
we know, for where is the person who has
not made the very wise proposition to
himself to live better life in 1890 than
he did in 1889? But so far as we have
had experience in that manner of self-re-
form, it will be safe to say that our old
moral weaknesses are Just as treacherous
on the first day of January as on the last
day of December. The power of old temp
tatiOns die hard with the old year if they
die at all, and the futility of putting any
dependence on such efforts as one can
make on New Years Day in the way of
self-refOrmatiOn as a foundation for a
better life, is but trusting on a shadow.
The brakes may be applied on New Years
Day to advantage, no doubt, but as a
means of thorough reform in rightlivin
the brake will be found insufficient and
unsafe at last. A new nature, through
and through, is needed by all-not Ish-
mael improved but Isaac born-not a
trust in resolutions howeverrigidIy made,
but a firm trust in the DivineP over to help,
relying wholly upon Gone mighty to
save" will do away with all need of New
Years reforming.
Retrospectively we cast up the events
of the old year, and what have they
brought to us? 1t will, doubtless, be a
marked year to many as one of great
sorrow and, perhaps, great bereavement

Bishop Randolph S. Foster, who is
on his way to the conference at Cum

the Methodist Episcopal ministers
on the work of the church, said that
forty years ago the Methodist Epis-

now they number 100000. Then
there were only three important ed
ucational institutions, while now
there are large number connected
with the denomination, sand the edu-
cational work among the colored peo-
pie alone is greater than all the edu.

Why Indiana Is Called the "HO0sier''
State.

We copy the following from a cor
respondent OF the Columbus, Qnd.)
Herald.
I noticed in the "0tter Creek"
items the question asked, "Why is
Indiana called the Hoosier Slater"
l desire to answer the question. In
the early settlements of Indiana, per-
haps in the year of 1916, the people
that emigrated to this State were
generally poor, and they were per-
secuted by the Kentuckians; they
said they knew the Indiana people
by their horses They never picked
the burs out of their tails and names.
Thus the strife continued between
the two sections, on this and other
sides Of the Ohio, until il became
bitter. The Kentuckians had a pow
erful man, and q great fighter that
everybody Was afraid Of in both sec
tons Of the country. We had a
muscular, stout but peacesble man.
that was tainted and aggravated by
this kentuckisn until he could no
longer stand it. He then engaged
with him in q fight and came ont
victorious. His name was Hoosier
When be licked him be Jumped up

Notice has been given that as soon

IN favor Of the republican contestant,

favor OF the democrats now occupy

The chairman Of the New York
anti-monopoly league made an ar
gument agasnst Mr.. Wanomsker's

Post.office committee Friday. He
opposed the bill because it proposed
to give the business OF the country
to O private corporation. He said BIS
represented the working people who
sent few kilograms and who would
get little il any benefit if the bill
should become O law, and that the
Post-office department had more
business now than it could manage
satisfactorily without adding this ex-
pertinent.

What Good Roads Mean.

What good roads mean is thus
described in a letter from q bicyclis'
who rode over some of the South
Ohio highways, and found them all
to be desired. cat Hamilton, in the
Auditors Office, gentleman told me
that he thought farms were worth
one. half more for being on the pike
than they were off it. Pixies are GER
tainly worth many times their cost
to the people.
"The Auditor OF Union county
told me that their pixies cost them
$4,000 to $500 per mile, according
to the distance of the gravel, and
that they sometimes hauled the gray
ell as much as four miles. The Har-
din county plan of taxation seems to
me to be the best for making roads.
They assess half the cost on the pro-
perty owners of the road, and the
other half on the general duplicate
of the whole county. By this plan
the city has to stand a share of the
expense, which I think is only right,
considering that they will be bene:
flied almost as much as the farmers.
This farmer I mentioned, in speak
ing of prices, said he got from four
to ten cents bushel more for his
grain in consequence Of having good
roads. He said the grain was
brought in slowly and regularly, and
there was no forcing down of prices
by q rush to town when the roads
happen to be good. His roads were
good all the year round."-Rsvenna
