To our mind the great obstacle to such a pro- ject would be the great expense involv. | ed in establishing and fitting up such a building in an appropriate manner, That then is only the beginning, it would require a perpetual endowment of many thousand dollars to maintain same in good order. A memorial building and its endowment fund would cost five or even ten times as much as a monu- ment, Where will such a fund come from? We could heartily endorse a Cur tin Memorial Hall, as suggested, but the money 0 carry it out is the obstacle How such a scheme can succeed we do not understand, yet we hope it could. A few words to the committee are more appropriate. You have been in existence for several years, and what have you accomplished in this direc. tion? Is there not indifference and leth. argy somewhere? If you can see your way clear for the erection of a Curtin Anderson, - Ind., who whipped his So. | year-old son Hiram at Indianapolis and placed him in the hands of surgeons, who sewed his scalp together, and are trying to bring him to, lives in a little house in Irondale addition. He claims the distinction of being the man who drove the first spike on the first railway ever comstructed in Indiana. His gg-yearold wife died recently. His strength and mental activity are some. thing marvelous. Hiram was one of the babies of the family, and he is So years old.~Cincinnati Enquirer, — A Decision on the Bird Book Attorney General Elkins bas given a verbal opinion to Senate Librarian Miller on the distribution of the new “Bird Book,” and holds that they must be given to the members of the house of 1897 and the members of the senate of 1599 #0 that members of the senate of 1597 who were not in the 189g senate wil! not get any ‘Birdies.’ it's the back of the one enough it was. Lady Streak had simply Fed her that way every day. That's how fast she was, When she was at ber full speed it wasn’t safe to talk, so Billy got up a set of whip crack signals One crack to go, two to slow up, three to stop, and so on will regret that to his dying day. see, he lost the nigger one afternoon, The little coon opened his mouth to sing one day while he was driviug the mare full speed around the mile track, and the choked him him to death before he could get his mouth shut or snap the whip three times, Wasn't any way to bring him to, so Billy had to go back Kast to find another one, He was only gone two days, but when he got back poor Lady Streak had trotted It was all the infernal whip snakes. You see, this was on Billy's training ranch out West, and the place "was full of whip snakes herself to death.
