tire association, followed by the re-
ception Friday evening.

The first came into use about 1870 and. shortly became one of the popular ter TOTS of France. It is said that no less than 5000 iettres de caches were is- sued during the reign of Louis XIV and S0.0o0 during the reign fof Louis AF. In many cases these terrible doc uments were secretly sold and used as x source of illicit revenue They were frequently signed ia blank, and the holder of one of these royal ter TOTS could write in the name of any person against whom he appened to have grudge. The national assem- bly, abolished this inisaitous privilege of issuing iettres de cachet on Nov 1, 17SS.

Missed Train That Was Day Late.
 When the .Sw1tz City division of the Illinois Central was built it was known as the Indiana and Illinois Southern
 It was narrow gauge road; the road bed was bad the engines and cars were built on miniature scale and, while there was schedule. had train been on time the fact would have been regarded as miracle. The road was known as the Try Weakly" On one occasion Josiah Mcconnell desired to go to Switz City from Sullivan. but missed the train by minute or two
 The clock at the station showed thht the train had left Sullivan five min utes ahead of time, and Mcconnell sued the railroad company for $5.0oo damages. On trial of the case it was proved beyond a doubt that the tram Mcconnell missed should have gone the day before and was really twenty
 three hours and fifty-fve minutes late.
