on Friday afternoon The interment
was at the Frum graveyard. The

charge of the funeral. They have
voted to allow him the benefits ac-

not been member long enough to
be legally entitled to them. Six

longed about four months. The lodge
is to be commended for this act.

pneumonia, John Ross. He was
about forty-tive years old and leaves
four children whose ages range from
nine to twenty-one. About year
ago his wife died. Mr.. Ross was only
sick for few days, having taken sick
last Sunday. He paid little attention
to the malady at first, thinking it
was mere cold. Even on Wednes-
day the family did not think it was
serious. He was quite well known in
the district and was very well re-
spected by all who knew him. A man

Her Cuban Relations.

Cuba seems so far away from Indiana
that man might safely fancy ne would not
get into trouble by speaking his honest con-
victions about the war; such, however, was
not the case with Mr.. Slocum. He was in
the civil war, and yet has freakishly taken
it into his head that this war is mere folly.
A few of his spirited opinions on the nom
sense of going to war for a lot OF low, igno-
rant Cuban half-breeds had been uttered by
Mr.. Slocum in a little neighborhood group
the other evening, when a very interesting
matron called a halt. BE careful be care
full, Mr.. Slocum," she said you don't know
where you step when you abuse Cuban half
breeds. About fifty years ago my great I'M

about thirty years ago, he had photographs

what you call Cuban half-breeds. They
cannot be ignorant, however, as my great
uncle was man of fine education, and the
Spanish lady whom he married had many
accomplishments; these matters are not
often allowed to lapse in families as proud
as Spanish families generally are"
Poor Mr.. Slocum didn't know which way
to look-he mastered his embarrassing
chagrin, however and said: Il beg your
pardon, Mrs. Blank; of course, / was not
talking of your Cuban relatives, and III tell
you what I'll do, / have a nephew in this
war for Cuba, and I'll write to him at once.

The Queer Kitten.

1t is often true that even very clever
white people are wholly unobservant of the
appearance and habits of our domestic ami
mails; therefore, young black Martha must
not be considered so dreadfully amiss in her
judgment on the new kitten. 1t was prob
ably the first very small kitten Martha had
ever encountered, and she came from the
kitchen, soon after it's arrival, with her
face wrought up into a pitiful expression Of
distress and dismay.
"Grashus goodness! Miss Liza" Martha
exclaimed; I'VE can't keep that old kitten

In a Sunday-school class of five-year-old
urchins is small Walter, who has a very
ancient way of never admitting absence of
information on any subject whatever. No
matter what comes up, Walter has some

response was made at first, and then Wal

How would you like TO sail over Lake Erie
in boat made of straw? I can see a dozen
straw boats from where am writing. Some
of them are filled with people and one has
mule, donkey and llama in it in addition
to it's human freight The captain of each
beat is an Aymara Indian, who stands up as
he poles the boat along. There is a boat
over there which has a straw sail and
which is skimming along over the waves.
Those boats are of the curious craft known
as balsas. They have been in use upon this
lake for more than four hundred years, and
were found here when the Spaniards came.
Until the steamers were brought in they
carried all the freight on the lake, and they
