Queer Case of . Dying Farmer with
Land I'm Two Counties.
A peculiar complication Of affairs re-
suited from the reported death Of Oliver
Patty, well-known farmer near Wind
sor, Ind. He went to field to adminis-
ter some liniment to a mule that had .
sore hoof. He did not appear at homo
in the evening. and the result OF y
search announced that he had been
found dead In the field. A large bruiss
WIS found on his body over tho stomach.
1t was said, and it was supposed that
while doctoring the mule the animal
had kicked him to death. The news
reached the ears OF the coroners Of Ram
dolph and Delaware counties. Patty's
farm is right at the county line, part Of
It lying In Delaware county and tho
rest in Randolph county. >
The coroners are DESTROYS Of getting
the fee that would fall to the one who
happens to live in the county in which
the accident occurred, and surveyors
were sent out to determine just where
tho body was found. On their way 70
the farm Coroner Poland, OF Muncie,
received word that Patty was not dead,
hut was only so badly injured that no
cannot live long. The coroner has since;
learned that part of Patty's homo il In
one county and the other part in tho
other. When Patty dies, 1t will involve
considerable trouble and expense to de-
termine just who has the right to hold
the inquest. II the case IL decided ON
the place where he was injured the Ran
dolph county coroner win win, az the
accident occurred in that county, but a.
Patty's sleeping apartments in his
home are in Delaware county, DR.. Po-
land stands q good chance Of coming
out ahead.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
The Age of I;eform.

i That we live in an age Of reform is one
of the ever-present facts that faces intel
ligence. To define the fine line that sep
arates mere change from reform is diff
cult. Some of us, says the Detroit Free
Press, go through life with the feeling
that all things of the past are bad, are
not up to the standards of the knowl-
edge of to-day, SO that we are prepared
to revise and throw aside every opinion.
Every new idea is accepted as on adj
vance. Change is not always progress,
nor discoveries the milestone, the trade
mark of knowledge. AL that is valu-
able in the increase of knowledge
simpliies living. Living becomes an art,
the perfection of which ceases only at
the grave, so that the whole of life is
cumulative. To master the knowledge
thatbrings God into closer relation, that
makes life not a:pcriod fsuffering, but
To- period of acquisition, of health and
happiness; to make health the normal
condition of every soul born in this
world, Is to make visible the divinity in
man that is his crown of glory. This is
possible only as the new builds on the
old. Construction, not destruction, is
the mark of progress. Cumulation, not
Humiliation, is the secret of spiritual
growth, whether for the individual or
the nation. The mastery of the past is
possible only when wisdom sits en-
throned. Change is not, then, the i'm
pulse Of the moment, but the silent
growth Of the passing days, unheralded,
but known by the fine impulse that
makes for better things.

The "B.ind Tiger"

Unfortunately the blind tiger" as
the illicit whisky trade is called, has
at present much wider range of terri
tory than would be supposed in view of
the strenuous vigilance of the law. Be
fore the liquor law was passed in North
Carolina, license could be procured
at nominal cost to distill on mans
premises all the year round. Fiftycents
was then considered fair price per gal
Ion. The liquor found a ready market,
In valley towns principally. But now,
by diminution of quantity, and also by
comparison Of cheap labor, the law has
made the traffic the mostlucrative bust
ness known to mountaineers. The av-
erage farmers time is worth at the OUT
side rs cents day, most commonly so;
q man may hire himself and mule to q
neighbor, in stress of crop-making, for
ten cents an hour, which nets him 81 40
from sun-up to sunset-the prescribed
loborer's day; whereas, by adopting q
"blind tiger" he can double and triple
his income many times during the sea-
son, If he can successfully elude the Wig
lance of the law. Judging from pres
ont indications, says u writer in Chau-
tauquan, the time Is yet far distant
when the backbone Of the "blind
tiger" will be broken, for the mountain
passes and gorges afford ample oppor-
tunity for its effectual concealment.
and popular taste runs strongly in
favor of its maintenance.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the

any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from im-

second way is from careless local
