FARMERS TO CELEBRATE.

The Indiana Corn. Growers associa-
ton at it's last annual meeting named
Thursday, oct. % as Seed Corn Harvest
day. The reason for this action is that
much loss comes through corn allow
ed to stand in the field and which is
subjected to the hard freezes of No
vember and December. The Corn
Growers association believes that if
every ear of corn intended for next
years seed could be harvested by oct
IS and properly stored, millions of
bushels would be added to the crop of
Indiana. Farmers are urged to go into
their best fields and select the best
ears from strong. vigorous stalks
Hang this corn where each ear will
be subjected to free circulation of
pure air and where it will be protected
during the winter Two or three times
the amount of seed actually required
for planting next spring should be Sc
lected in order that a more rigid
selection may be made before plant
ing time, This work cannot be urged
too strongly and farmers should not
fail to act on this warning. The farm
ers of Indiana should have a definite
time for this work. and should arrange
to do the work at that time

INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.

A popular impression prevails that
the Indians are dying out. Those who
have given the subject study believe
there are more Indians today in the
United States than there were when
Columbus landed.
The Indians were never populous.
They We're too much at war. They
roamed the prairies and hunted
through the forests, but they never
had local habitations, and We're never
many in one spot.
The first actual census of the In
dians was taken seventy years ago. At
that time there were found to be 25S,-
464. Prior to that time everything had
been by guess.
Beginning with the count of 1890
the official reports of Indian population
are as follows: In 1869. at the begin
ming of the civil war; there were 254.-
200. Twenty years later. in 1880. there
were 256,127. In 1900 there were 272.-
023. Today by count of the Indian
agents on the reservations of the coun-
try. there are 1900 Indians.
The Indian is not dying out, and
there is no reason why he should The
government has pursued a policy, mis-
taken in many respects. but yet calcu-
lated to give the Indian a chance ir
the race of civilized life, and the In
dian is showing considerable aptitude
The Indians of the new state of Okla
homa are intelligent and wealthy, and
they will be heard from in national
affairs.-Mobile Register.

-" Mard Gras'' was fine day
the sun shone brightly, the cool north
wind was inyigorating, giving life
and zest to the maskers, who paraded
! the streets all day in every conceivable
costume, the little tot and the mature
person, all enjoying to the full the
license and privileges Of Mardi Gras.
The feature of the day was the bur
lesqueing of the East Side Concert
Band, which was most cleverly done,
the music was especially eXcrutiating,
such new numbers as "ShOO fly.
" Hot Time, - Leave me Alone and
others of same ilk. The band paraded
the principal streets, headed by the
grandiloquent drum major, whose gro
tesque actions caused much meriment.
Everything passed off satisfactorially
without any accidents or unpleasant
ness.
The Red Ticket Assessment Sale

Hon John Broussard, our popular
citizen is always for expansion in
business as our reader will notice upon
perusing his advertisement. The
establishment has re
ceived some new features in the en-
balming department, where he is now
well equipped for perfect work. His
stock of caskets is most complete and
of up-to-date manufacture, possessing
all the features of elegance and stabil-
ity. A new hearse added to those in
hand gives ample facilities for all de-
mands made upon him, making three

OLD TINE DANCE.

"Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind"
Mr.. and Mrs. LeDoux Smith emphati-
cally say no referring also to music, dances,
games and everything that is good: On
Friday evening they entertained a number
of their friends in their beautifully ap-
pointed home on Charles street The
walls of which seem to be elastic and
stretch and stretch until large number
of people can be entertained SO delight
| fully that not one of them would be any
where else for anything. 1t was called an
"old fashion dance" The first being a
cake walk, up-to-date to begin. Mrs.
Smith and Mr.. Pomeroy led off Each
thrust a knife into bowl of peanuts, and
having secured as many as they could upon
the broad blade they danced to the end of
the long row, carrying the nuts to deposit
them in the bowl at the other end They
succeeded SO well that every other couple
essayed the task with considerable conf
dence. DR.. Tom Gayle pierced his nuts
with the point of the knife aud waived it
aloft as a trophy, it was no end of fun.
Everybody entirely absorbed in conveying
their peanuts in safety, As though the
fall of peanuts meant their undoing

all to their feet and the mIsic set them
dancing Some of our heavy weights who
usually consider walking OF few blocks
a real hardship, cut pigeon wings and took
funny steps like French dancing masters,
bowling with the grace of ChesterAelds,
grand-fathers and grand mothers, urcles
and aunts up to the charming young men
and matrons of the present. The grace
full lancers was danced beautifully to the
old time music, which almost calls the fig
ures so suggestive is its rythmic measure.
Cards were passed of which there being
four of kind, everybody began looking
for three partners. They were requested
to gossip together for fifteen minutes.
The scene was very amusing, still with all
the fun there was a valuable underlying
lesson, tho much mischief can be done by
a slight word miseonstrued. While the
merry chatter was still going on, the III
ming room was thrown open, when dain-
ty repast was served The entire house
was so brilliantly lighted by lamps and
candles that one qnitszsforgot that the
