' CONDENSED STORIES. ?omt Queer Sign* on a Terre Haute Office Door. When Russell B. Harrison, son of the lato Benjamin Harrison, presid ed over the affairs of the Terre llaute Electric Street Railway com pany several years ago, lie had a sign painted to hang up on his office door, which on one side read: o o hakk1son in o o And on the other: 7 harrison ol't o o By this means Mr. Harrison's callers were saved the trouble of making inquiries. The roud finally went into the hands of Joshua Jump, as receiver. Mr. Jump followed the businesslike methods of Mr. Harrison and had his own name substituted for that of the late president of the road. When he was in his office, the sign on the door bore the inscrption: j jump in ? And when he was away his visitors governed themselves by this notice: e o 7 jump out i About two years ago the road was sold to a Boston syndicate and C. B. Kidder became the general manager. Now when he is at his office the card bears the cheering announcement: o ?^ o kidder in And it casts a gloom on the caller when he sees the other side: o? o kidder out ?Chicago Journal. How Grant Broke the Mule. Major A. J. Watrous, U. S. A., tells in the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post several good stories of General Grant when he Mas a lieutenant in the Mexican war. One is a mule story. He tried a detail of men and many ropes, but the mule got the better of the experiment. Then this happened: "Returning, he gave orders to take the next victim to the large rock. It was backed as close to the obstruction as possible without uc ? 1 ITS IIKKI.S CUACICKU AGAINST TIIK KUCK. tuallv touching it. Half a dozen men were told to hold the hrute by the head, ears and neck and on no Account to let it advance from the rock. Then a man was told to clap ? harness on quickly. As soon as the buckles began to fasten the mule became restless. Pretty soon it made a sudden lunge and succeeded in getting four feet away from the rock, and then the fun began. Its heels cracked against the rock sav Agely for a short time. It was a new experience and apparently a painful one, for the buttered hind feet were lifted again and again, but very gently and onlv one at a time, while its head shook and ears flop ped. The mule was cured, and the problem was solved. The detail re turned to camp late that evening, having accomplished its mission? taken the kick out of a drove of aa unmanageable mules as ever haul ed port and hard tack." The Colonel Wat Embarrassed. Colonel A. K. McClure has stood on many platforms, has addressed Assemblies large and small, political, ?ocial and religious. He is noted for his self command under any cir cumstances, but on one occasion he was distinctly embarrassed and ill At ease. On this occasion Colonel McClure was the chief speaker ut a large as sembly, the auaience being made up mainly of farmers or other persons who had driven to the place of meet ing. In the midst of an eloquent apeech it began to rain. One after Another of nis hearers jumped up And hurried out until the speaker was left with an array of empty benches before him. Colonel McClure's face flushed crimson. He had said not a word that could give offense, and he natu rally failed to understand the sud den leavetaking. But his embar rassment was quickly changed to amusement when the chairman arose and said: "It's all right, colonel. They're only going o'<t to look after the horses. They'll be back pretty aoon."

We are just beginning to feel the j effects of McKinley's election. | Where will the trusts stop? Our town election passed off very quietly. The issue before the convention was "the graded schools." After the nominations an effort was made to run an in dependent ticket opposed to the graded schools. Tiie ticket was written out, but they saw there was no possible chance of its be ing elected so it was not run. A few voted it any way. R. B. Whitley was elected Mayor, re ceiving eighty-four votes. The commissioners elected were Clar ence W. Richardson, W. H. Hare, Y. 1). Vinson and W. B. Driver. All good men. C. G. Wiggs was elected town constable.
