BOOMING GREENCASTLE.
Novel Plans Inaugurated by the Com
merciaI Club of That Town.

"Greencastle will have a population of
10000 in ten years. was the rather extrava-

man at the Denison Hotel yesterday. 1--WE

last census issued by the government stat
ed that Greencastle was the healthiest
town in the country" The speaker was
one of three men who came here as repre-
sentatives of the Greencastle Commercial
Club. They came with a rather novel
scheme. When natural gas was discov-
cred in Indiana GreencaStle was a prosper
Gus town, with a large iron and nail mill
as one Of its chief industries. When gas
came the mill was moved to Munc1e, and on
account of this move the town lost prob
ably 1900 people. Since that time Green

from the blow. Some time ago a society
known as the Commercial Club was or

If the thing was possible. The Commercial
Club includes in its membership some Of
the best business men in Putnam county's
capital. One of the first OF the clubs big
schemes was TO purchase 22 acres of
ground, including the Putnam county fair
grounds. Lots were plated TO the number
of 53 and the remainder of the ground was

succeeded in selling a portion of the land
in Greencastle and then appointed a com
mittee consisting OF II. S. Renick, George
T.. Blake and f. G.. Gilmore to come to
Indianapolis and sell lots to former resi-
dents Of Greencastle. The committee spent
yesterday in the city with fair success.
d. II. McAbee, state factory inspector,
bought the first lot. w. E. Stevenson
bought FIVE lots and among others who
purchased were Linn B. Hopkins and w.
T. Fletcher. The committee stated that
twenty-five acres Of this ground are to be
devoted to the use of a tin-plate mill, which
will be erected at Greencastle IL the citi-
zens succeed in raising 10000 to pay to the
begin breaking ground for the buildings

ceeds In securing the mill.
Then there is another plan on foot to
boom Greencastle, and this is an electric
railway scheme. There is an electric line
leading from Harmony, Clay county, TO
Terre Haute, and the plan is to build a
line between this city and Harmony, pass
ing through Greencastle.

The Baby.

Like a tiny CLINT Of light piercing through the
dusty gloom,
Comes her little laughing face through the
shadows OF my room.
And my pen forgets its way as it hears the
pattering tread,
While her prattling treble tones chase the
thoughts from out my head.
She Is queen and 1 her slave. one who loves her
and Obeys.
For she rules her world OF home with imperious
baby ways.
In she dances, calls me Dear turns the pages
OF my books.
Thrones herself upon my knees. takes my pen
with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme. turns my papers
upside down.
Draws me cabalistic signs. safe from fear of any
frown.

Makes them into balls and then-hings them
all upon the ground.
Suddenly she fits away. leaving me alone again
With a warmth about my heart and a brighter
clearer brain
And although the thoughts return. that her
coming drove away.
The remembrance OF her laugh fingers with me
through the day.
And 1t chances, as l write. / may take a
