A Hoosier SANDER.

Mrs. Dodd has received from Cambridge.
Ohio, a paper containing an article head
ed: How They Do In Kansas" This is
the article;
Here is a story that has laid in a pigeon
hole in our desk until it is now safe to
print it. 1t is a story that a new re-
porter wrote 10 show the editor what sort
Of a reporter could be made of him. He
was sent out to write up a party. and was
told to get facts and nothing but facts.
He did. And the story had to be killed
Here it Is:
There was party at Jim Boompole's
On East street. last night There was only
room in the little house for a dozen. and
there were 90 there. % girls and II BOYS
The boys were bashful and wouldn't get
their partners until the girls got desperate
and went out and sat doWn on the grass
to talk about the girls that had got the
boys. They got covered with chggers
and scratched until bed time.
About half the crowd went home be-
fore refreshments were served. and it
was well that they did. for there was
hardly cream enough TO go round as it
was. The store cake was good. but the
cream was homemade and tasted of corn
starch besides being mushy. Those pres
ent ate il. Most of the crowd went home
was good. Most OF the crowd went home
early. but three couples. none of whom
was over is. went out walking after the
party and STAYED until nearly 3 O'Clock.
AN three of these girls mothers said this
porning that their daughters should never
go TO Boompoles TO party agoin."
The story had 10 be rewritten. and
here is the way it finally run:
MT. and Mrs. James Boompole delight

Mildred. The guests Were entertained on
the spacious. beautiful lawn and enjoyed
themselves immensely. Delicious refresh
ments were served and the guests re-

He Stored His Mind Only.

Landlord Van lyme of the Manhattan
/ hotel was sitting in his Office one cold day
/ last winter when venerab bic looking old
man. with long gray hair. and whiskers
as white as the snow that was falling
outside, came lettering in. Mr. Van
Duyne saw some hing familiar looking
about him. All edged around the old
man in hopes Of picking up a thread of
conversation with him and thus satisfy
a curiosity he had.
The old man told him he was hard up
and hungry and would like to stay with
him till the storm was over. at the same
announcing that he didn't have a sou
wherewith to pay for his Accommodations.
AIr. Van Duyne sent him to dinner and
sat down TO try and place the old man.
for he was sure that he knew him. All
at once it popped into his head that he
was Colonel -, a man who once was
accounted the wealthiest and brightest
man in his old home town. When the
old man returned from dinner he verified
the conclusion Mr.. Van Duyne had arriv-
ed at
The colonel was q pitiable case Of the
men who store their minds at the ex
pense OF their pocketbooks. needless Of

For five months the colonel stayed at the
Manhattan. always hopeful that some
thing would turn up and always building
castles in tho air. Finally the old man
got a job and with a light heart he went
To Mr. VanDuyn and announced 10 him
that he would be able to pay him soon.
Your bnl is paid in fun. Colonel" said
Mr. VanDuyn. Keep what YOU earn for
q rainy day"
one morning Mr. Van Duyn read in the
Eagle that the colonel was dead and he
hurried 90 the unGertaker's. only to find
that the body had already been buried in
the Potter's field. lie would have bought

late.
The colonel was widower. When his

His Wit Saved Him.

In the early Indiana days, when
both judge and attorney literally
Erode the circuit" a newly elected
Judge, noted for his lack Of personal
beauty, was plodding along on
horseback between two county
seats one fine summer day. Sud
denly he was confronted by hunt
er, who unslung his squirrel rifle
from his shoulder and ordered the
horseman to dismount. Somewhat
startled by this peremptory COM
::::iiaaiia, tho jurisJ began to remon-
strate. He was quickly cut short,
however, by the remark: sIt's no
use talking. I long ago swore that
if I ever met a homelier man than
/ am I'd shoot him on sight"
The judge, sizing up the situation,
promptly got off his horse. Fold
ing his arms he faced his assaiiant
and said, sIf i am any homelier
than you are, for heavens sake do
shoot, and be quick about i" Z
Needless to say, his wit saved
him. .sIs RI 3 80 80

Resented the Comment.

A well.known savings institution
has q unique system Of receiving de-
posits. People who petronize the
bank first take their money to re-
ceiving teller, and then pass along to
another clerk whose business it is to
verify the entry in the hand books and
deliver them to the proper owners.
"John JONES'" he will call out for in
stance. When John Jones answers
the clerk asks him how much his de.
post was, and upon receiving correct
reply hands over the book.
On Saturday little irrascible-look
ings Irishman was one Of the deposi-
tors in line. Chow muoh?" queried
the clerk when the Celt had answered
to his name. "Wan dollar" returned
the depositor. "Vera Little" sung
out the clerk, reaching for me next
book. "It is, begob,' shouted the
little man, turning back. It's dom
sight more than yez would have to
save yerself if yez had wife and tin
childer to support"
It was not until the indignant dc.
positor had marched through the door
way that the astonished clerk tumbled
to the combination of circumstances
which had aroused his ire. PAiladel-
