THE INDIANA O

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 6.-The most de.
structive drought that has been expe.
rienced in Indiana for years prevails in
all parts of the state and in many sec.
tons great distress is resulting to
farmers by reason of the lack of rain.
In parts of Southern Indiana no rain
has fallen for nearly two months and
and farmers are driving their stock
four or five miles to water and many of
them are hauling water long distances
for drinking. The deepest wells have
gone dry, the fall pastures have been
burned by the sun and farmers are
feeding the new crop Of hay to their
stock.
The late corn has been much affected
by the same conditions and much that
promised a large yield has failed to de-
velop in stock and the crop will fall
short in many localities.
In such sections the new ground that
is intended for hex years wheat crop
is as dry as finder and no grain can be
sown till it rains, many fields having
been abandoned because too dry to be

The Eye of g Child.

Who al explain or fathom the won

arms Of its nurse, in its carriage or else
where, it's large, round, wondering eyes
roam over a sea of faces till suddenly
it's features break into a sweet smile, a
baby laugh dances in its eyes, perhaps
the tiny hands are extended, and the lit

would throw itself through space. What
has happened? 1t has recognized a
friend, nothing more and no less. 1t
makes no mistake. Wiser, perchance,
in that moment Of inexperienced
helplessness than it will be years

Mrs. Siddons, the actress, was born

Roger Kemble, being a strolling man

AS she grew up she became very
beautiful and had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons, a
young actor in her fathers
who had little difficulty in winning the
girls heart. Mr.. and Mrs. Kemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry in the profession, in conse.

in a fit CT retaliatory humor, composed
a song detailing their opposition and

Molasses Is Now Made Into Rum and
Brown Sugar Can't He Bought.
"The old fashioned molasses is rapid

in its place have come a number Of
sirups which are more costly and by
no means as satisfactory, especially to
the little ones, who delight, as we did
when we were young, in having 'lasses
on their bread. Most of the molasses
goes into the distilleries, where it is
made into rum, for which, notwith-
standing the efforts of our temperance
workers, the demand is constantly On
the increase, especially il the New
England states and for the export trade.
The regular drinker of rum will take no
other liquor in its place if he can help
it. 1t seems to reach the spot more di-
rectly than any other dram.

disappeared, and they are not likely to

tails do not cohere. This is because it is
constantly stirred during the process of
capitalization. The lighter brown sug-
ars taste sweeter than the white, for
the reason that there is some molasses
in them. Housekeepers have difficulty
these days in finding coarse, dark sug-
ars, which are always preferred for use
in putting up sweet pickles, making
cakes and similar uses. AS they cannot
get brown sugar any more, it may be
we'll for them to remember that they
can simulate brown sugar by adding a
~teaspoonful of molasses to each quarter
of a pound of the white granulated sug-
ar. This combination does as we'll in
all household recipes that call for
brown sugar as the article itself, and
besides it saves them a great deal of
hunting for brown sugar, which, as
said before, has disappeared from the
market. "-Eastport Sentinel.
