Stritulliii;; tbe Farmers.
Kukomo, Ind., Dec. 28. The latest,
nnd, al the K:me tiinp, one of the
most ingenious and successful
schemes that has ever been devised
to swindle the gullible portion of
humauity has just come to light in
this county, this account being the
first exposition of the fraud to be
published. The manner of working
the swindle, as was related to the
Times correspondent by one of its
victimp, is as follows: A well
dressed, gentlemanly-appearing man
drives up to the door-yard of a
farmer's residence in aspaukiugrig,
and, hitching bis team, proceeds to
the house, and inquires if "So-and-So"
(namius the owner of the place)
is at home, stating, by way of intro
duction, that he is an agent of the
state board of agriculture, and that
he is gathering up certain statistical
information regarding the agricul
tural interests ; that this very desira
ble information would be published
in book form, and a copy sent to the
farmers throughout tbe state. He
then produces a printed blank, like
the following:
Indiana State Hoard of Agriculture
Statistical Department Data for 1S.9.
Number bushels of wheat raked . . .
Number bushels of corn raised
Number bushels of flax raised
Number bushels of oats raised
Number bushels or rye raised
With a two-Inch blank space here.
(Signed)
He has no trouble in getting the
unsuspecting farmer to fill out this
blank and sign his name where in
dicated. The blauk space in the
form is satisfactorily explained by
the statement that it was iuteuded
to accommodate any other informa
tion that the farmer might be able
to impart regarding his crops. The
oily-tongued gentleman having ac
complished the purpose of his call,
bids his farmer friend good-day and
takes his leave with even more
pleasing and graceful dignity than
that with which he had bowed him
self into the recognition and good
graces of his confiding victim. The
next act in this drama of real life
takes place in the swindler's private
room at the hotel in this city, where
he quietly proceeds to fill out the
mysterious blank space spokeu of
above, which, when completed and
neatly severed with scissors from
the statistical portion of the blank,
is a bank note, signed by the patri
otic farmer, who thought to do the
stale some service by certifying over
his signature to his crop yield for
1S79, payable to whom and for any
amount the sleek "agent of the state
board of agriculture" may desire.
The first "eye-opener' the farmer
who has been thus swindled out of
his hard, honest earnings has of the
fact is the astounding information,
which he receives by mail in a few
days thereafter, from ouc of the
local banks, that his note for
payable to is, or soon will be,
due, and requesting him to call at
tbe bauk at once and attend to the
matter. Of course the note is valid
in the hands of an innocent purchas
er, and the victim of the robbing
scheme is compelled to meet the ob
ligation to which his uamo is signed
by his own hand. Although Mr. A.
J. Trayer, of this county, is the only
person the Times correspondent has
heard of who has thus been swindled
by these sharpen, thero is no doubt
that there arc several others of their
victims in this vicinity yet to hear
from. They sold Mr. Travel's note
calling for $12G, and purporting to
pay for a windmill, to a gentleman
in Bunker Hill, Miami county this
state. Cor. Chicago Times.
Old Folk on tlie Farm.
Students of social problems think
they 6ce conclusive proof that grand
parents will be less plentiful half a
century hence than now. The ed
itor of the Gohlen Jiulc inclines to
this view, and suggests the keeping
of those we have as long a9 we can,
and since enforced idleness is often
the beginning of the end with men
and women whose useful lives have
been spent in activity, make lighter
cares around the house so natural
and easy for them that they will
never know it was planned.
Happy the man whose younger
kinsmen will carry on the old farm,
and let him work ornot as he pleas
es giviug him an easy chair by the
warmest corner of the fireplace in
winter, and a shady nook on the
verandah wherein to nod over his
newspaper and play with his grand
children in summer. Thrice happy
the good farm-wife whoso daughter,
or daughter's daughter, reserves the
best ground floor room for her, and
carries on the work herself all the
while pleasing "mother" with the
belief that she is still doing it as she
did for half-a-huudred years. How
sweet and placid the dear old face
as she goes with feeble steps to
kitchen and dairy " looking arter
things !" She kuows just how many
chickens there are, and when the
speckled hen ought to come off; she
passes judgmeut on the new cow,
and gives that finishing touch to the
butter which won the first premium
at tho county fair so many years
8go before "help" was Tinowh in
the farm house. She "goes to moet
in'"with a regularity that shames
her children, and passes gently down
the farther slope of tho hill of life
sereuely happy amid accustomed
scenes and familiar faces. What
hampered village existence could be
so good for her as that? It is poor
work transplanting old trees..
Common failings are the strongest
lessons in mutual forbearance.
A IVotI Koy.
"Well ! I saw a boy doing some
thing the other day that tuade me
feel good for a week, ludeed, it
makes my heart fill with tenderness
and good feeling oven now as 1
write about it. But let me tell you
whatjt was. As I was walking
along the street of a large city, I saw
an old mau who seemed to be blind
walking along without any one to
lead him. He wcut very slow, feel
ing with his cane.
"He's walking straight to the
highest part of the curbstone," said
I t myself.
"And it's very high, teo ; I won
der if some ono won't tell him, aud
start him in the right direction."
Just then, a boy about fourteen
years old, who was playing near the
coruerleft his playmates, ran up to
the old man, put his hand through
the old man's arm and said :
"Let me lead you across the street."
By thislimc there were three or four
others who were watching the boy.
He not only helped him over one
crossing but led him over another
to the lower side of the street. Then
he ran back to his play. Now, this
boy thought he had only dono tho
man a kindness, while I knew that
ho had made three other persons
feel happy and better and more
careful to do a little kindness than
than those about them. The three
or four persons who had stopped to
watch the boy turned away with a
tender smilo on their faces, ready
to follow the example he had 6et
them. I know that I felt more gen
tle and forgiving toward every one
for very many days afterward.
Aud another one that was made
happy was the boy himself. For it
is impossible for us to do a kind act,
or to make any one else happy,
without being better or happier our
selves. To be good, and do good, is
to be happy. lluth Hudson.
Teachers anulTaak - masters.
The public havo not held teachers
to their true responsibility. "We
send a young lad or a young girl to
school, aud fiud that, while we are
paying out a great deal of niouey
Tor them, they are guining nothing.
We complain, aud are informed that
our children are not- Industrious,
that they do not seem interested in
their studies, that they are absorbed
in play, etc., etc. In ninety-nine
cases in a hundred, our'disappoint
mcut is entirely the fault of the
teacher. IIew she is simply in
competent for tho duty they have
undertaken. A first-class teacher
always has good pupils. Lack of
interest in study is always the result
of poor teaching. We send a boy
to college and fiud that he regards
his studies as a grind that ho is
only interested In getting good
marks, and that he is getting no
scholarly tastes, and winning no
scholarly delights. We inquire,and
find him in the hands of a youug
tutor, without experience, who
really pretends to be more than a
task-master, and who knows nolh-
g, and seems to care nothing about
the oflico of teaching. Tho placing
of large masses of young men in the
hands of inexperienced persous,who
do not pretend to do moro than to
set tasks and record the manner in
which they are performed, without
guidance or assistance, Is a gross
imposition of the college upon a
trusting public, aud it is high time
that an outcry so determined and
persistent is raised against it that it
shall procure a reform. Scribner

GENTB
ictting; Married BJnder fiJHli-
CHllit'S.
Mr. C. Ipscn, Mr. Goodman's man
ager hero, left for Cheyenne last
evening;, accompanied by Mr. J. O.
West, where Mr. Ipsen will this
afternoon be married to Miss Anna
Pluukett. There is much romance
connected with this event, aud it i
but another demonstration of the
proverb that "the course of true
love never runs smooth." This
tried and true couple have been en
gaged for some time, and were to
have been united in February next.
Miss Piunkctt is a daughter of
Pluukett, the theatrical manager,
and is a leading member of the com
bination. Piunkctt disapproved the
match, because it would deprive him
of his daughter's talent. The com
pany has been playing in the moun
tain towns of Colorado, aud are to
be in Cheyenne to-day, aud go
thence. Miss Pluukett fears it is the
purpose of her father to carry her to
the Pacific coast, and thereby break
oil' the match. To defeat this
scheme, she wrote her betrothed of
her fears aud anked him to meet her
in Cheyenne to-day and have the
ceremony performed, they to come
back to Grand Island on tho first
train.
Mr. Ipscn immediately on receipt
of Jier letter yesterday, telegraphed
to Cheyenne to tho proper author
ities for a license, etc., and last
evening, alter impatiently awaiting
the arrival of the express from the
cast, took his departure, accompan
ied by Mr. West, who goes to sec
that 'they got there."
This is another illustration of the
trials incident to such an occasion.
Mr. Ipsen and his bride will beat
the stern parent and return to Grand
Island, where they will receive the
congratulations of friends and well
wishers whose other name is legion.
They will each be a splendid Christ
mas present for each other, and tho
Times feels so good about it that it
could get up and whoop aud "hol
ler." Grand Island Independent.
Tim Hottest Spot ou Earth.
One of the hotcst regions on earth
is along the Persiau Gulf, where
little or no rain falls. At Lahrin tlie
arid shore has no fresh water, yet a
comparatively numerous population
contrive to live there, thanks to the
copious spring which breaks forth
from the bottom of the sea. The
fresh water is got by diving. The
diver, sitting in his boat, winds a
a great goatskin bag around his left
arm, the hand grasping its mouth,
then takes in his right hand a heavy
stone, to which is attached a strong
line, and thus cqipped he plunges in
and quickly reaches the bottom. In
stantly opening the bag over the
strong jet of fresh water, he springs
up the ascending current, at the
same time closing the bag, and is
helped aboard. The stone is then
hauled up, and tho diver, after tak
ing breath, plunges again. The
course of the copious submarine
springs is thought to be in tho green
hills of Osman, some 500 or COO
miles distant.
"Yes, gentlemen," said a seedy
looking customer with a long beard,
who had run in on a parly of tour
ists in the Ualdwin bar-room, the
other evening. "I was the first
white American who ever set foot
on the site of San Francisco. Many's
the night I've roasted bear-steak for
supper, and slept with the sand for a
blanket right whero this hotel now
stands. I owned the entire country
clear down to San Jose, and I traded
the wholo business one day for ten
pounds of tobacco." "Five pounds !"
put in the barkeeper, sternly. "I
guess I know how many pounds,"
said the oldest inhabitant, somewhat
abashed. "You said five pounds
last night," retorted the barkeeper ;
"and I've told you more'n fifty times
that if you intend to work the racket
in this here bar, you must stick to
the same story. If you don't I'll let
Joe Barker work the house instead ;
you hear me ?" And tho relic of the
good old Argonaulic days drifted oil'
to the lunch counter.
A l.Ittle Advice.
I want to give you three or four
rules:
One is, always look at the person
you speak to. When you are ad
dressed, look straight at tho person
who speaks to you. Do uot forget
(his.
Another is, do not say disagrcca
btc things. If you have nothing
pleasant to say, keep silent.
A forth is and oh! children, re
member it all your lives think
three times before you speak once!
Have you something to do that
you find hard and would prefer not
to do? Then listen. Do the hard
thing first, and get it over with. If
you have done wrong, go aud cou-
fess it ! If your lesson is tough,
master it. If the garden is to be
weeded, weed it first and play af
terward. Do the thing you don't
like to do first, and then with a clear
conscicncclo the rest. Church Uti'
ion.
An old Scotch lady, who had no
relish for modern church muric was,
expressing her dislike for the sing
ing of an anthem in her own church
one day, when a neighbor said, "Why,
that is a very old anthem. David
sang that anthem to Saul." To this
the old lady repliod, ""Weel, weol, I
noo for the first time understand why
Saul threw his javelin at David
when the lad sang for him."

This is a true story. Down in
the southeastern part of the State,
where Nebraska almost sticks into
Missouri, a mau kept a store. One
day he died of paralysis, and fell
behind the counter. He was not
missed for a couple of days, aud
might have been thero yet but for
the fact that a stranger happened iu
and found him. Tho moral is plaiu :
If tho deceased had advertised ex
tensively, his store would have been
full of customers, and they would
havo relieved him when he fell. But
as he didn't advertise al all, ho died
unknown to any one.

effect. Tho Herald is invited to

complains shortly after of a broken
head. Lincoln Journal.
