TABLE PHILOSOPHY.

Uneasy fits the coat the stomach pays for.
A sick palate is beyond the reach of physic.
When dinner and appetite fall cut it is time
for arbitration
The first lesson in dyspepsia is surprise to
him who thinks be knows everything.
Mix your remembrance of good dinner
with gratitude to heaven and the host.
One man may be sentimental, another hun
cry; 10 man can be both at the same time.
There is little choice between a dinner with
no appetite and an appetite with no dinner.
the life of the dinner lietb in elaboration;
the death OF the diner may Turk in the lack
of it.
True charity warns the heart of him that
gives and him that takes; the other sort is
more chilling than cold soup.
The appetite is a tool of natures tempering;
If you will listen to her and reason you may
learn the best way to sharpen 1t.
Man prayeth for long life; let him study
how TO use short one and his prayers may
be auswered.-Joseph Wilton in Town Talk.

Some philosopher has said that savagery is so
natural to man that though il takes forty
years TO civiliZe an IasilnL, white man, still

Scarcely had the victory of Gen. Wayne
given peace to the northwest ere 10, 600 Ken
tuckians, Virginians and Ohioans invaded
the wilderness of Indiana and carried the
line of civilization up the Wabash TO the Bus
seron. Then came fresh wave OF barbar-
ism from the north-Kickapoos, Shawnees,
: Winnebagoes and Potta wattomies mingled
and drove the settlers almost to the Ohio.
Tippecanoe and Fort Harrison battles were
fought-but two considerable Indian fights
In the Wabash valley, and the commanders
at both lived to become presidents The tide
OF civilization set northward again, and John
Campbell and others located near the Busse-
ron, in what is now Sullivan county, Ind
The Miamls had become peaceful and the
Shawnees and Winnebagoes were gone, but
the kickapooS and Pottawattomies still gave
occasional trouble Therefore when bands OF
Miamis traverSed the settlements they were
always accompanied by one or more white
men to hail approaching rangers and give
warning that those were friendly Indians.
On Sunday afternoon, Feb. II, 1915, John
Campbell, Jr, and Vincent Edwards started
from the block house in which the families
still lived TO drive home the COWS and were
never seen again by their people. The same
afternoon Dudley Mack and Madison Collins
were returning home on horseback, when
they came suddenly upon band of Indians
and wheeled their horses into the brush.
Then seeing the two boys, Collins called out:
Hold on, Mack, these are our Injuns."
The next instant they saw that two Indians
had the boys covered with their guns. The
lads dared not give the alarm, for fear of in
slant death, and thus were used to deceive
the rangers or others, as occasion might
serve. The Indians fired over the boys Just
as the two men were turning again towards
the brush. Nine balls struck Collins, and
every one went through some part of him
three through his breast-yet he got into the
brush and escaped. Mack's horse was killed.
He ran some distance and met two Indians,
who shot him dead Collins reached the
block house, and made one of the most re-
markable recoveries on record. In a fort

piece of broken bone worked out, he recov-
