only semblance is in the fact there was a balcony scene in both. A. N. Watcher is the lovestricken youth. Miss Winifred Woods plays the part of Juliet Miss Woods lived in New castle and the young man elsewhere.
 Romeo had a desire to look upon his love, and he took the romantic but un- safe way of getting beneath her win dow, hoping that she would look out and be gladly surprised by his unex- pected presence. He may have whis- tied to attract her attention.
 He was successful in arousing the neighbors, but not Juliet. They saw the balcony scene, but did not under stand it. It is possible that if Romeo attempted his stunt in these days he would be taken for a porch climber. Anyway, that is what the neighbors thought MT. Watcher was. They called the police, unromantic souls that they were The lover was dragged away to prison, and the next morning he was given the pleasure of explaining in court how he happened to be under that window
 When Juliet heard of his misadven- lures she came galIantly to the rescue with the statement that he had a per- feet right to be there if he wanted to be, and married him as soon as the police magistrate discharged him.

 In the summer the heat and fatigue Of da6ly cares make us seek the com fort1ng Influence of day with nature. eAs to the picnic of today writer in the Ladies' World says: A picnic no longer means great crowd of men, women and children, but rather little Out1ugsof a few congenial people to the shade of 8 nearby woods, the banks of asbugy stream or sandy beach wash ed by the oceans waves. It is no longer popular to pack a great basket of eatabIes and burden ourselves with unnecessary table accessories, which must be carried home by the tired pleasure seekers, making them cross and unreasonable. A pasteboard box is our lunch basket, and if plates and other table utensils are carried they are made of paper and so inexpensive that it seems no extravaganza to throw them away after they have served 5oyable and beneficial recreation than an outing of this sort.
 Let wholesomeness and daintiness be your watchwords when preparing the picnic lunch. The old idea that "auy- thing" would do for the picnic basket is. entirely wrong. Unappetizfng and careIess1y packed viands are not at kractive even to an appetite sharpened .by several hours tramp or long ride in the open air.

Souls.

T HERE is small wonder that In-
 diana has become noted for
 A romancers and fiction writers. After reading an account of a few oc- currences in that state within a few days it will be observed that all the prospective writer has to do is to sit on his front doorstep and watch the drift of affairs in his immediate neigh borhood. ...'.
 In Mishawaka young man who had been delivery boy in a dry goods store was married to the owner, wo- man 22 years his senior. He was AL ton s. Whey and she was Mrs. Rhoda D. Lusher. If a romancer could not make good story in telling how their love grew up among the calico bales and how the proprietor's gentle glances followed the boy as he left the store with his packages to deliver he would be bad romancer-that's all.
 The prosaic account of this court ship merely says the woman learned to love the boy, but there is better story in it than that, as can be seen. There is a success story, as well as a romantic one. From delivery boy to husband of the proprietor"-that would sound pretty fair as a title.
 Wabash furnishes another tender lit tie story. This concerns the efforts of an even dozen Indiana women to sat- isfy the ideals of mourning widower with II children clamoring for a mother. Eleven have tried it and have failed. The Chicago Tribune says that David Overmire is the particular man who is looking and advertising for a wife. His children, he says, are all grown up and prosperous, so there need be no obstacle to the marriage on their account. Since he has advertised that he needs a wife 12 women have answered the Lad" and have returned declaring that he was a brute-because he did not accept them
 A North Manchester woman was the last to offer her hand to the particular MT. Overmire. She was taken to din- ner and treated with elaborate cour- tesy by MT. Overmire. While dining he sounded her opinions on various subjects, which are not mentioned, but which, in the hands of the skillful TO- mancer, might make a brilliant chap ter, and at the end of the conversation he remarked to the expectant woman:
 'sYou won't do."
 She has been added to the others who declare MT. Overmire is brute.
 Logansport offers some more mate rial. There was young man in that place, Charles Townsend by name, who was about to marry young, woman of the same place named Miss Emma Toothman. Everything was prepared for the glad event The license had been secured, the railroad ticket pur- chased. the minister engaged, the home decorated, the friends assembled, the bride waiting. and the bridegroom on the way, when Miss Toothman sud- denly exclaimed that she had changed her mind.
 It was a sad blow for the bride groom, and all the flowers were with cred, but there was no wedding. It

FRESHMAN ASKS
FOR A REVOLVER
Experience Of Well Known Grand Rapids
Boy at Madison.

DOy al Ma01S0n.
A young man, we'll known in this
city and especially in telephone circles,
has had novel experience at Madison
where he has been attending the
university as freshman in the en-
gineering department.. He stands at
the head of his class and this TACT has
caused great deal of jealousy among
his fellow students, much to the
sorrow of the freshman.
Tuesday morning the student
applied to the chief of police for per-
mission to carry a revolver and if the
students who have delighted in
tormenting him do not desist he
threatens to shoot them while they
are attempting to make him do the
stunts which were the creation of the
freshman engineers brain. It was a
story Of sadness which was told by
the freshman who had the peculiar
experience of swimming in the water
trough Monday night. He denied
that he was the same man who had
been in the scuffie at the corner of
University avenue and Park street
Monday night, but it is known that
he was the same individual.
Freshman Story.
When he reached the police station
today he netitiOned the chief to allow
him to carry concealed weapon say
ing that he would not use it unless it
was absolutely necessary. "They dent
like me-" said the freshman. "There
are whole lot Of those freshmen in
the engineering school who are going
to be 'cOnned out this semester and
they are sore because / am at the
head of my class. [ will not be hazed
and if they come tc my room again /
am going to shoot one OF them sure"
Red Haired.
The chief of police advised the fresh
man not to carry revolver, but he
told him that it would not be against
the law if he used it to shoot man
who molested him in his home. The
freshman has revolver in his room.
The man who complained to the chief
of his troubles refused to give his
name but he said that he was a fresh
man and was very good in his studies.
He wore a summer suit of outing
cloth belt and no vest. His hair is
red and his complexion light. He has
a bubbling manner and a way of
Quitting in" which in the code of
etiquette of the freshman is punish
able by ducking in the lake.

VALUABLE STUDY
IN ROCK FORMATION
River Bottom Near Grand Chute Of Much
Interest to Citizers.

There are many peculiar markings
on the large rocks which have been
uncovered by the building of the cof-
fer dam across the river. The person
interested in the study of geology
could spend many days making valu-
able observation about the dam.
Among other things, there is a
circular hole, eighteen inches deep
aud ten inches in diameter, which has
been cut into the solid granite by the
action of the rushing water and small
stones. Some sphere and egg shaped
stones were brought to this Office
yesterday: it is very likely that these
stones had been ceaselessly at work
during the past fifty or seventy years
piercing the bolders.
A peavey, or canthook, was found
under a 600-pound bolder by George
Miller. Its appearance would indicate
that it had been lying at the bottom
of the river since the days when
driving and lumberjacks were COM
mon to this community.
