INDIANAPOLIS, June S-The reported bat
tie between strikers and the militia was
another false alarm. About a. m. several
drunken men approached the picket line
around the ninety militiamen stationed at
Farmersburg and tainted the guards. One
man attempted to pass through the line
and was brought to a halt. The intruder
hurled brick ut the guard and the latter
opened fire.
This was the signal for general fusil.
lade of stones and firing by the Gurards.
Forty or fifty shots were fired in quick
succession. Colonel Ebel, of Terre Haute,
in command of the three companies, called
to arms all his men, but they were unable
to run down the attacking party, not one
being found. The firing caused great ex.

Original.

John Hookham Frere was scholar
and man of much literary ability, but
one of those whose work, for some rea-
son, finds very slight hearing. But
even if his literary work should be quite
forgotten the stories of his absence Of
mind will live as long as incongruous
error continues to amuse.
One day he sat repeating some verses to
Mr.. John Murray in Mr.. Murray's office,
and his host became so interested In the
poem that he asked the poet to go home
with him to dinner and continue the
recitation. Mr.. Frere, startled to find it
so late, excused himself He had been
married that morning he. said, and it
was already past the hour when he had
promised his wife to be ready for their
journey into the country.
Another such story rests on the au-
thority of his wife herself Mr.. Frere
had just been introduced to her ut an
evening party and offered to take her
down stairs to procure some refresh
ment. He became so interested in their
conversation, however, that he drank
the glass of negus he had poured for her
and was about to conduct her up stairs
when she laughingly demonstrated with
him for having forgotten her needs

A young man wanted to marry girl,
but her rich parents forbade the match.
The young man thereupon became SICK
and had terrible fainting fits. The doc
tors were called and said he would soon
die, and no said he wanted to die. The
father of tho girl visited tho patient,
and the poor fellow said that If he could
marry his Mary Ann he would die
happy. His dying request could certain
ly not be refused, and, Mary Ann hav'
ing no objection, the minister was sent
for, and tho marriage ceremony was
performed. The knot being securely
tied, the patient rose from his bed q

are found the first noteworthy references
in our language to the dog. Thomas the
Rhymer of Ercildoune wrote Sir Iris

but the pathos Of it is here augmented
by the knights dog also being brought

Something of the influence of ancient
astrology is shown in the popular belief
that the rising and setting of Sirius, the
dog star, infusos madness into the
canine race. In our medical prescrip-
tions, too, the old superstition appears.
The ornamental part of the apothecary's
r is none other than the sign of Jupi-
ter, under whose special care medicines
were supposed to have been placed, and
our nostrums arc still compounded un-

ish mean substantially this: Under the
good auspices of Jove, the patron of
medicine, take the following goods in
the proportions set down." Some try to
throw the responsibility for the symbol

dence points to Jupiter as its patron.

Little Feet Which All Day Long Mark t!.n
Passing Moments.


How many miles day the little feet
of young children will travel is often
source of wonderment to parents who
lovingly watch them. This restless ac-
tivity was never better illustrated than
by very old story, which may interest
readers of this column.
A grandfather who had little to do
except to watch the curious antics of his
grandchildren as they played around the
house resolved that for ono day he
would follow one little fellow who
seemed especially restless, prying into
everything from morning till night
1t proved much moro of q job than he
had expected. Noon came, and if the
child was not wearied tho man was, but
no had set out to go wherever the child
led, and he persevered Toward night
there came sudden end to tho expert
ment, when the child crept through be-
tween the rounds of q chair where the
space was entirely too narrow for n

knowledge himself beaten at last.

winked one eye at its grandfather tho
story does not tell. No doubt, however,

When the railroad men left the cable
car at the head of the Milwaukee ave-

lever forward with an emphatic zip
and said: Those locomotive engineers
think they are the only men with nerve
who ride on rails. Did you hear them
talking about how weak they felt after
their machine had just missed knocking
some clumsy farmer over the telegraph
wires and how they sweat cold sweat
when the baby toddled in front Of their
engine? Did you get onto their trick for o
layoff because they have lost their nerve
through running fast and can't make
over 10 miles an hour until they get
their nerve back again? If those engi
neers would take this run, they would
be wet through all the time and wouldn't
have enough nerve left to sass n messen-
