Tl'KSDAY, NOVEMBER 1894.

Wkm., it's all over but the shouting.

Now that the election is over the people can turn their undivided and enthusiastic attention to a discussion of football.

TMKRK will be many an anxious heart in Crawfordsville to-night. It is the old soug of eating snowballs or wearing diamonds.

THE ladies who attempted to vote today may be slightly in advance of the a :e but the election inspectors couldn't see it that way.

THE best way to appreciate how far the new foot ball rules have eliminated the element of roughness from the game is to read the rules carefully and then refrain from witnessing any foot ball matches.

THE November F-n-um opens with an article on "The l'olitcal Career and Character of David 1!. Mill." by an anonymous, independent writer who tells for the first time with fullness of detail Senator Hill's whole career. The judgment of him is that his success rests wholly on an artificial basis, and that it has been built up on the most disreputable elements of political society. The writer contends that Senator Hill's prominence in the Democratic party is the worst possible augury for the party—a measure, indeed of the party's danger. It is a notable political essay.

liEM.A.MY's co-operation scheme is to be practiced by a colony in Pittsburg. The first building's turner stone was laid yesterday. One member gives a building lot and receives certificates, the legal tender of the colony, in return: another furnishes building stone: two glass-workers dig the cellar: members will do the work. The colony is known as the Integral Co-operative Association. It expects to build more houses and to go into manufacturing. The products of its plants are the only income of members. Twenty-five cents an hour is fixed as the rate of pay for all classes of labor.

THEY ARE MEN AT TEN.

In

The Hoj'i li.vr liut a Short Childhood Core*. In Corea the boys are called men as soon as they reach the age of ten. They receive their final names at that age and assume the garments of full-grown men, all except the horsehair hat, which they cannot put on until they have passed through a period of probation. Permission to wear the horsehair hat is the final act of transforming the small boy into a real, sure-enough manthough he doesn't look it.

Such a short childhood may, at first thought, posseses a charm for boys in our colder climate. Hut it will be quickly understood that making boys into men as soon as they are old enough to feel that they would like to be men is note wise idea. The Coreans, al though possessing a certain degree of a queer kind of civilization, are not a people to be patterned after. In Corea, if a young man's parents are not rich he can never hope to become so by his own efforts. And. if he l9not a member of a noble family he can never hope to reach an exalted position. As for courage the Coreans have never shown much of that. The Corean men are not in themselves a good argument for a brief childhood.

Frogs Are Wonderful.

The toad is a higher animal than the frog, because it gives birth to little airbreathing toads, whereas the frig lays eggs that produce fish-like tadpoles. ISut the frog in certain respects is the most wonderful creature in the world. Think of a vegetable-eating fish with gills that turns into an air-breathing land animal, developing teeth nd becoming a carnivorous quadruped. That if the life history of the frog.

HE LOVED HIS WIFE.

A Little Lesson for lsh Men.

Many SelN

No one doubted that he lored her devotedly, and yet—they had llredrin the same house for nearly forty years. Meanwhile he had become one of the richest men in Lakeville. He owned and rented numerous dwellings with all modern luxuries in the way of steam neat, gas fixtures, bathroom, plate glass windows, large closets, eta The old home possessed none of these advantages. It was delightfully situated, and the garden surrounding it waa ideally beautiful. Mammoth oaks and wide-spreading maples cast deep shadows upon the rambling structure in which Mrs. Van Dyke spent her toilsome later years, and all the people who drove past were apt to Bay: "There's a fine old-fashioned sort of place!"

Mrs. Van Dyke was accustomed to hearing praises of the trees the nioe cool well water, so much better than that which ran through the city pipes) the soft light from sixteau kerosene lamps, such a relief after blinking evenings of brilliant gas that was so trying to the eyes the cheery comfort of big blazing coal stoves In midwintert the inexpressible deliciousness of fresh berries from the vines that grew so profusely on the grand old Van Dyke premises. Comments on the manifold blessings enjoyed by the Van Dykes gave Mr. Van Dyke unalloyed satisfaction, for he was very proud of the old home. Two paramount attachments were plainly manifested at all times. He was exceedingly fond of "the old place," and, let it be remembered, he loved his wife devotedly.

She had borne him seven healthy, affectionate and dutiful children, all of whom were married and' settled in different portions of the globe, and who, with their various progeny, were wont to flock to the ancestral domain for Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays, and on different anniversary occasions. Mrs. Van Dyke was therefore seldom alone, and almost never care free for even one week of the year and, besides, Mr. Van Dyke was naturally inclined to extend off-hand invitations to all his friends to put up at his house whenever it suited their pleasure or convenience. Not only was he a very generous and entertaining host, but, owing to Mrs. Van Dyke's management, his house was a most restful and altogether desirable refuge for many of his relations.

Mrs. Van Dyke was a woman of unvarying amiability. She waa patient and kind and gentle beyond description. Throughout the long years of their wedded life, her loving nutband never heard her utter a oomplaint. She was the last person to go to sleep at night, and the nrpt to w\k least to rise in seasons. dinners and suppers Innumerable, was often at the mercy of poor servants, and was sometimes left for weeks at a time with none at all and yet the lamps burned 4very night, and were filled and trimmed every morning, the buokeis went down and up in the mossembowered well, the cistern pump creaked with unbroken regularity, and Mrs. Van Dyke nevsr said a word about all those rented houses where there were no lamps used, where water flowed freely by merely turning faucet, where hot baths could be taken any hour without a thought of pumps and kettles, and where women's cares and responsibilities were reduced to a minimum.

Ah, yes, Andrew Van Dyke loved his wife. She was a sweet, trustful, confiding and tender creature, who always looked upon him as a superior and who never failed to meet him with a smile, if not a kiss, when he entered the dear old home. Ko matter how large the grocery bill, It was promptly paid, and unquestloningly. So were the dry goods bills, and the milliners' and upholsterers' bills, and, finally, the dootors' bills that Mrs. Van Dyke contracted.

One day she casually remarked to her devoted partner in life's joysi "Andrew, did it ever occur to you that our trees have grown too large and they shade the house too much? Would you mind cutting some of them down and trimming others, so as to let in more sunshine? The doctor says my rheumatism would be less apt to trouble me."

He loved his wife devotedly, so he had several branches of maple and one large oak limb cut immediately. That was not sufficient, however. Whole trees needed to be removed from their close proximity to the house. Inasmuch as the tears were seen to fill his eyes when even the few limbs were severed from their parent trunks, and he confessed to a desire to beg, plaintively: "Ob, woodman, spare that tree:" Mrs. Van Dyke had not the heart to suggest further clearing out ller rheumatism grew worse and worse. The shade from the grove grew more and ipore dense, Mr. V«u» Dykq waa only at home nights and Sundays, but oh, the blessedness of being screened from a busy world on hot Sunday afternoons, when he sat behind the shrubbery under the broad sheltering trees, and, yes, though they had been married so long, made love to his silver-haired wifel "Dear," she said, softly,

peaceful and ?«rene that I should dread the general disturbance." Again, being left without a servant for several days, she said, pleasantly, but very appealingly: "My dear, 1 wish we had gas in the old home, as in your handsome tenements. The cleaning of BO many lamps every morning would become unnecessary." "I hate gas light," he exclaimed. "Nothing like nice, well shaded kerosene lamps!"

He did not have to keep them in order, and suddenly thinking so, he added, considerately, "Don't light so many, my dearest You see we'd have to have a long sp?.'.l of tearing up to get the pipes in. and it would be a nuisance, besides destroying much of the wall paper, etc., that we are attached to." "Yet, that is so," said Mrs. Van Dyke meekly. But the very next day, in spite of her lame muscles, she drew three pails of water, pumped five, cleaned eight lamps, picked several quarts of berries, and cooked meals for a family of four relatives of Mr. Van Dyke's, who had arrived for a week's visit

There was not, literally, a single feature of the old home which Mr. Van Dyke enjoyed that did not tax the physical endurance of his so greatly loved wife. The light, the water, the shade, the privilege of entertaining his friends were all pleasurable to him. But if he had for one day had all the water to draw and pump, all the lamps to care for, all the berries to pick, all the meals to prepare, perhaps he would have said: "Let us have modern conveniences, no matter at what cost or sacrifice. For he loved Mrs. Van Dyke devotedly.

But this is not to be a long story. It Is merely an argument to prove how devotedly Andrew Van Dyke did love his wife.

She was terribly shocked one day when he was killed in a runaway accident. More than one consoling and sympathetic voice reached her after the funeral services were over: "You have lost a devoted husband." 'Ah. yes, indeed I have," said Mrs. Van Dyke, sincerely, as she copiously wept. 'You have one gfaat source of com fort. He is gone now, but when here he loved you devotedly." "Oh, yes, devotedly," she murmured.

In a little less than two weeks, and while her eyes were still tearful, and she seemed to be plunged Into a state of most hopeless grief, Mrs. Van Dyke might have been seen in the lovely garden, clad in deep black, and resting her rheumatlo figure against a large tree. She was saying: "You may leave this one. Cut down all the others."

A few days later many workmen were busy, for water pipes and gas pipes aDd bathrooms and a solarium wire occupying their attention.

There was a grand transformation. In a few weeks the old house was flooded with sunlight Mrs. Van Dyke was as comfortable at least as her married daughters in their modern residences, or as her husband's country couslnB who had enjoyed modern Improvements for ten years in advance of her, or as the tenants who paid her high rents for their luxuries, not knowing that anyone else had the right to colleot In the midst of her new blessings she heard such sentences as the following: "Oh, grandma, how beautifully you have arranged everything! How nice not to have any more lamps to clean and no more water to draw and everything so handyl How glad grandpa would be If he saw you so oomfortable and tr free from rheumatism, now that the sun gets In!" "Yes, It would make him very happy,'1 said Mrs. Van Dyke, sighing dreamily. "Your grandfather loved me devotedly."—Harper's Bazar.

COINS OF LITTLE USE.

The Gold Dollar Had No I'tlhty, While tha Three-Cent Piece Served a I'urposo. To one who has not given the subject thought it would seem that the most useless coins ever issued by the United States were the silver throecent pieces. They were small, as thin as a sheet of raanilla paper and before they finally disappeared from etrcula* tion they came to be regarded as nuisances.

Although there is much to be said against the annoying little coins, says the New York Herald, they were, as a matter of fact, of far greater utility, as far as circulation is concerned, than another coin. This is the gold dollar, which, experts at the sub-treasury say, has never served any useful purpose. Said Maurice Muhleman, cashier of the sub-treasury, recently: "From the mutilated condition of the gold dollars sent here for redemption it is positively shown that the public do not regard them as coins. Their only use appears to be for bangles, necklaces, watch charms, scarf pins and the like. It is doubtful if one in a thousand ever really passed in circulation.

u\Vith

the three-cent silver piece, it

was different. When first coined, the country had nothing in the shape of a coin between the huge copper cents and half cents and the silver half dime. The small coin was hailed as a blessing, and became popular at once. There was an excellent reason for its issue also.

provided for by a coinage aet. but by an act revising the postal rates. This law lowered the cost for transmitting the unit of weight for letters from five to three cents. It was deemed advisable by congress thereupon to issue a coin of corresponding denomination. The coin was of great utility, and circulated freely until the adveut of the nickel."

Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamberlain's l'ain Balm and bind it on over the seat of pain. It is better than any plaster. When the lungs are sore such an application on the chest and another on the back, between the shoulder blades will often prevent pneumonia. There is nothing so good for a lame back or a pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured in one night by applying a fiannebbandage dampened with l'ain Halm. 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye Hooe, 111 north Washington street.

Mr. W. M. Terry, who has been in the drug business at Elkton, Ky., for the past twelve years, says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy gives better satisfaction than any other cough medicine I have ever sold." There is good reason for this. No other will cure a cold so quickly: no other is so certain a preventive and cure for croup, no other affords so much relief in cases of whooping cough. oFor .sale by Nye Booe.

A YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.

AN INTERESTING SKETCH. Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter just budding into womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 ycors of age, had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and had lost the entire use of her right arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music lessons. In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although 6he has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now weighs 106 pounds her nervousness and symptoms of St. Vitus nanco aro entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with com* fort and eae. 5= lie has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. .v .'.cs' Nervine has brought her.

The Proof of the Pudding

Is In the Eating.

And so it is of what we said at the beginning of the season about our Dress Goods. We made some strong assertions about our line of novelty fabrics being superior to anything ever shown in this city, but we meant every word of it, we were honest in our belief. The way the ladies answered our appeals tor attention, and the liberal patronage accorded us furnish the proof that we did not overdraw the facts.

Dress Goods

Describe the new dress goods! Florists are not botanists. The Labratory, the Library, the Microscope, the solema Professor, the absorbed student—combine these for the science of flowers. To the dogs with science when a conservatory or parterre, boquet or flower-filled vase touches your sense of the beautiful. Dreary advertising belongs not here. Dull descriptions and mechanical tabulations fail utterly. What then? The long drawn shelves, the well laden counters are full of rich stuffs for your inspection. Come see them. We tell you sub-rosa that the vast lots of.dress stuffs, masquaraded as French th.it France never saw.

Our French Dress Goods Were riade in France.

"Those Crazy French!" And yet the wild fancy of the Frank holds sway by divine right in the imperial court of Dress textiles. He shirrs Crepons as he does eggs and adds a stripe. He takes hair and wool from Vicuna, Cashmere Goat, Silesian Sheep silk from the worm, colors from the vegetable and mineral world ad-libitum, mixes thoughts of them in his crazy head and out come these designs. Woven boullibaise, salads in cloth, poems in wool. You uld fing praise to his lunacy. Describe the curly cues, waves, wavelets, eccentrics of all sorts? Bah! To attempt it is to prove one's incapacity. No, they must be seen. Our people are here to show them. And you're welcome to enjoy equally whether you do or do not want to own them.

CLOAKS and FURS

It .i.'ems almost useless to was'e time in the praise ot our stock

of Cloaks ancl Furs. Almost every lady in the county recognizes

us as the leaders in this line and we have had more customers any
