POPLEIGH.
A Successful Failure.
BY Harle Oren Cummins.

Popleighs best friends called him
genius, his enemies declared he was a
fool, and everybody admitted that he
was queer" But whatever you might
say Of him. no one could deny that he
was ambitious and energetic. and when
he started out to do a thing, he either
succeeded or knew the reason why.
Now, there's more to that than many at
first strike you. Lots of people know
haven't the least idea why it is that
they aren't bowling successes.
Popleigh, the man who. when he
made up his mind it was time for him
to get married. wrote out list of all
the desirable girls he could think OF,
and proposed to fifteen different ones
the first week. The present Mrs. Pop
leigh, No. is. wasn't third way down
on the list, so he told me the day after
the wedding.
One night, after he bod gone to bed,
the inspiration came to Popleigh that
he was intended for a literary genius.
He tossed and perspired half the night
in the throes of composition, like a true
author, and as result, the next morn
ing he wrote off four poems, two short
mailed to the seven best magazines he
could think of, and on the afternoon
of the same day he dashed off six more
poems, a biography of Funston, and a
dozen jokes for Judge. But the next
day was when he really got down to
work. l won't tell you how many lit
erary ventures he sent forth that day,
for | know you wouldn't believe me,
but when the postman stopped with
the evening mail that night and saw
the pile of letters waiting for him to
collect, he promptly went to the near
est corner and rang up an express
wagon.
on the fourth day. satisfied with his
efforts, Popleigh rested on his oars and
awaited results, fully expecting to hear
himself named before the week was
up as poet laureate of the United
States and worthy to draw a pension
from the government. The next day
there were returned to him thirteen of
the children of his brain, accompanied
by thirteen beautifully colored and
elegantly worded refusal slips. The
next few days mail did not diminish in
volume, and on Saturday night he was
in possession of thirty-six literary
abortions and as many refusal blanks.
Now comes the genius, foOlishness,
or whatever you choose to call IL, of
Popleigh. Another man would have be-
come respondent; not so our friend.
He determined to make a collection of
refusal slips, and with the three dozen
he had already obtained as a nest egg,
he sent the thirty-six original contri-
buttons to as many different maya
zines and papers. At the end of three
months Popleigh had slips from all the

standard periodicals of the country
and his collection was really becoming
quite a curiosity.
He next determined to include week.
ly and senli-weekly papers, and finally
added the more important dailies. His
list now contained papers of every
kind, of religious and political faith,
police court journals. agricultural and
farming periodicals. His stamp bill was
something enormous, but Popleigh felt
that he was repaid, for he had the fin
est collection of refusal slips in the
country, and that's saying a good deal
as those know who have tried it
At last he had returns from prac.

States, except a small country maya.

magazine of Baptist persuasion, the
Religious Era; and a sporting paper,
called the Pugilists' Review.

And now comes the funny part of Il

The G. A. R. at indianapolis.

The Indiana department, Grand
Army of the Republic, has issued a
general order regarding the encamp-
ment to be held in indianapolis be-
ginning May ID, in Tomlinson hall.
The annual parade will take place
May 10 and will be part of the al
ternoon exercises in connection with
the monument dedication. James f.
Fee, Of Greencastle, will ha re charge
of the column in the parade. The
formation will be by platoons of eight.
Camp fires are announced for Tomlin-
son hall and English's opera house the
night of May 15.
The order announces that the rit-
ualiStic services in the dedication of
the monument will be conducted by
the veterans. A general order re-
garding Memorial Day has also been
issued. 1t says in part: 1.-THE veter-
ans of 1861 can be present only a few
more times on Memorial days, for
death is fast overtaking them"

Confesses the Murder.

Anthony Meyer an ineteen-year-old
boy of Lowell, Lake county. has con-
feSsed that he killed his employer,
Douglas Craft, a farmer, on April Is.
The tragedy, which created great
sensation. was heightend by Meyers
former assertions that Craft had shot
at him and then committed suicide.
Craft lay in the barn, where he was
shot, for twelve hours without his
wife coming near him.
Owing to the fact that Craft IS
clothes were not powder burned, Meyer
was arrested. He acknowledges that
he shot himself in the arm to Garry
out the impression that his employer
had tried to murder him.

REMEN STILL HAS THE HOLE
But it SteadiastIy Refuses to Spout
Either Gas or Oil.

We didn't want much oil or gas,
anyway. Oil towns as a rule are
'tough, places: and then they have
an odor that makes the buzzards turn
pale.
The shooting of the gas well We'd
nesday attracted large crowd to the
fair ground, including large number
from neighboring towns. Mr.. Shurt-
left, of Marion, who had the work in
charge, was late in arriving, but by
O'Clock the 60 quarts Of nltro-glycerine
had been placed in three 5-foot tin
tubes and lowered to the BOTTOM of
the well. AS a sort of curtain raiser
the empty cans in which the glycerine
had been transported were taken to
the east side of the grounds, ard
exploded with report that was alone
worth the price of admission. Then
the kodak fiends trained their instru-
ments on the derrick, and Jacob Bauer
dropped the ''go devil" in the well,
and made more or less graceful re-
treat. A dull explosion followed, and
about 100 feet of the we'll casing was
hurled upward and out the derrick,
followed by a shower of water and
gravel, but alas. there was neither
stream of oil nor ordor of gas.
The result was of course diScourag-
ing, and will probably put an end to
the experiments. although there are

their faith, and cite numerous in
stances where paying fields have been

have taken place in Albany, New York,
in 1894, while the parties We're domiciled
there. The requisite one years resi-
dence in Pennsylvania of the libellant
previous to the presentation of her libel
was shown, but the respondent was
never n resident Of Pennsylvania, so far
as the testimony disclosed. and had not
been served personally. In his opinion
Judge Kelly says:
This decree must be refused for
want of jurisdiction, regardless of the
strength or weakness of the proofs.
This court has already passed upon
this question more than once. We do
not doubt but that If a subpoena was
duly and legally served upon the re-
spondent we would have jurisdiction to
decree divorce. even though the
cause arose outside of our own state.
What we hold is that for cause occur
ring outside of the state, the domicile
of the respondent being outside of the
state, and there being no personal
service upon him, we have no jurisdic-
ton. The rule to show cause why the
divorce should not be decreed is dis
charged and the libel is dismissed at
the cost of the libellant."

Must Declare More Specifically.

In the case OF II. w. Skivington
against II. w. Palmer and others, en-
ecutors of John Handley estate, Judge
Kelly yesterday handed down an opin-
ion in the matter of the demurrer to
the plaintiffs statement. Among other
things he said
1t is not clear from a reading of the
statement that the plaintiff seeks to hold
the estate of John Handley responsible
for his injury; or that he seeks to hold
the executors responsible Individually,
only; or that he attempts TO hold the
executors liable as individuals, Jointly
with the estate. There should be no am
biguity about a statement. 1t Should set
forth clearly ana distinctly the facts of
the plaintiffs complaint so that on de-
Inurrcr the court may pass upon its suf-
ficiency.
We are not now required TO declare the
law as to whether the estate can be held
legally liable for the accident complained
Of When the plaintiff declares against
the estate as such. distinctly and une-
quivocally. if he so desires, we may be
called upon to do so. Or, If it Is the
intention TO seek recovery from the eX-
ecutors as individuals. let the plaintiff
so declare.
The facts and circumstances of the ac-
cident should be set forth with reason
able certainty. and We think the statc-
ment is insufficient in this regard also.
In order that no injustice may be done
we will allow the plaintiff to file a more
specific statement, within thirty days,
otherwise judgment will he entered for
the defendant on the demurrer.

When you read that a sufferer OF

no belief In It whatever The reason
for this Is that SO much is claimed for
the Cure-all 1t is impossible for any
one to believe 1t; If the advertiser con-
fined his claims to the curing of one
disease. as do the proprietors of Pyra-

much more faith in published testi-
monials. Those familiar with this great
remedy know that testimonials as TO
its merit may be relied upon implicitly.
also that the cures brought about by
its use are little short of marvellous.
