In a letter dated Jan. 22.sd and
written at Aberdeen ON a st. I-uke's
Hospital note head Cornelius Rover
dlnk writes to the editor. Every
body who knows him will be pleased
to learn that MIR. Roweriink is now
practically out of danger. He says
Friend Streeter AS you will see
by the above heading, am still at
the hospital at Aberdeen. have
been allowed to sit up "a little to-day,
but am still very weak from the
operation. Thinking, however, that
some might be little interested in
knowing how l am getting along, l
thought ! would drop you few
lines. My operation was double
one, and must have been quite seri-
Gus, but ! am getting over it nicely,
and the doctor thinks that can go
home the latter part of the week "
e. c. and w. T. Brooks were ON
their way home last Saturday from
Indiana, where they had been ON a
visit. In due time the wayfarers
reached Aberdeen. Then they
journeyed onward, and in some
more due time they reached Eureka.
There, w. I. bethought himself it
would be good idea to get out ON
the platform and stretch which
was accordingly done. Then, as the
train had seemed to be quite de-
liberate in its movements so far,
and it occurring to him that there
was painful vacancy under his
waistband, he concluded to saunter
across the steet and eat a pie or
two. Which was likewise done.
Pretty soon he heard noise, and,
rushing to the door,he saw the keers
moving off in a more energetic
and ambitious style than they had
done at any other station this side
of Aberdeen. Grabbing a pie and
hastily wiping the foa that is
we mean the crumbs from his
lips, he scooted. But it was of no
avail. Willyum was no good when
it came to a sprint with the bulgine.
So he returned sadly to the place
where they kept the pies, unhappily
contemplating the fact that it was
Saturday; that there wouldn't be
another train for Linton until Mon
day, and that Mrs. w. 7. would un-
doubtedly be at the depot to wei
come the returning prodigal. Well,
the train finally reached Linton.
Now. E. c. didn't try to mislead
anybody as to what had happened to
his brother, like those biblical chaps
did regarding their brother Joe,
when they sold him to the Egyptians
(Hold on,we re getting into water
T too deep for us). When informed of
the losing or kidnapping of the head
of the family. Mrs. w. T. thought
she'd take a trip herself, and so she
went to Eureka by the return train
At Eureka, however, the reunited"
husband and wife concluded that
| Aberdeen was a better place than
Eureka in which to pass a Sunday,
| the churches being much larger and
the seats in the pews much softer,
and they accordingly continued the
journey to that which calls itself
The Hub. Monday they reached
home Mrs B. having tied the man
to the seat as they approached Eure-
| ka. SO that he couldn't by any posi-
bility again wander off across the
