HOW TO TREAT A MAN.

A Sensible Horse Writes a Sensible Article I on a Sensible Subject.:

Here is an article from the Chicago Humane Journal that may set some of our readers to thinking1 new thoughts if so, we are glad for the horse's sake: "When a man drops from sheer exhaustion or illness, promptly seize an end board or a cart stake and pound him on the heau and on the ribs. If this does not recuperate him, kick him violently in the belly. This treatment will restore him if persistently administered. If a man finds his load too heavy and feels that it will seriously strain him to proceed, kick off a fence board and knock him down—and hammer him thoroughly with the board. This will give him renewed energy and he will make no more fuss. But do not on any account reduce the load. That would look too much like common sense or humanity, and he will be likely to balk again when overloaded. "If a man refuses to drink when you offer him water, don't give him any water for two days. That will- 'teach him' to be thirsty at any time you find it convenient to attend to him. It is a good plan to ply the whip frequently on a ican who is at work. No matter if he is doing his best, hit him now and then on 'general principles,' and to prevent him taking any comfort. If his load is not heavy, oblige him to go enough faster to4" make up for it.

Work him hard enough to bring down the average life one-half as is done with horses. If no whip is haudy, use a club. Tie your man's head back in an unnatural position, with his eyes toward the sun. This will give him a 'fine appearance,' and 'prevent stumbling." Of course he will not be able to do as much work in this fix, but it makes him wretched, so it is all right. "In winter remove his clothing to 'prevent his taking cold.' He will also 'dry quicker' when you overwork him. You must hang a blanket on his back (but leave his neck and limbs exposed), when he is not at work. Men thus treated are 'much healthier' than when allowed winter clothing. If not perfectly convenient to feed a man who is working for you, at noon, let him go without, and, by active use of the whip, secure as much work as the food would have secured. Of course it wears out his vitality and distresses him, but that is no matter. "Put tight shoes on your man and keep there until he is very lame with corns. To change his shoes costs money, not much, but some, and lameness and misery are of no account if you can save a dollar's worth of shoes a year, \yhen you hire a man do not be hampered by any humane notions. Get all you can out of him. True nobility consists in getting money, not in decency or kindness, or what some noodles term 'character.' Get money, even if it is all bloodstained. These are correct principles, I am sure, for I learned them when a colt from my master, who treated all his horses an this plan—and don't he know what's what?"

Ruth Ashmore Would Not Approve* Terre Haute Tribune: A party of young lady students from DePauw University were in the city between trains yesterday on their return trip from Rock ville to Greencastle.. They had, on a wager, walked the thirtytwo miles between Greencastle and Rockville, on Saturday. One young woman had twenty pounds of candy to her credit as the result of the trip. The party left Greencastle early Saturday morning and arrived at Rockville before dusk the same evening, and rested at the Parke county caoital, where one of the young ladies resides, over Sunday. This trip has frequently been taken by young men of the school, but this is the first time the new woman has had a try at it.

Why Not Here?

Clubs are forming in several of the gas belt towns that look forward to the Paris Exposition of 1900. The clubs are mutual concerns founded on business principals. Each member puts in $1 weekly. It is figured, out of twenty-five a certain per cent will fall out, in which case they forfeit what they have put in. Should they all stay it out they will have $300, which with good party rates will go a loag way. Should only fifteen remain in the four years they will have about 8300. In case of death the party forfeits all to the club. The scheme is a good one and will insure Indiana a small representation, at least, from these cities.

A M'KINLEY DEMOCRAT.

John Temple Graves Believes that William McKinley Should be President.

A large and enthusiastic audience welcomed John Temple 'Graves, the distinguished Georgia lecturer, at the Y.M. C. A. auditorium Tuesday evening. His lecture on "The Reign of the Demagogue" was a most oxcellent one and Mr. Graves was frequently interrupted by rounds of applause. He was introduced by Mr. Claude Thompson. In the course of his remarks Mr. Graves stated that he wished to speak of one man who was above the machinations of the politician and he did so cheerfully although that man was of a different political faith. "I refer," said Mr. Graves, "to William McKinley, of Ohio, a pure patriot and a true statesman." This reference coming from a Democrat brought down tba house and gave unmistakable evidence as to the popular candidate here, abouts.

At the hotel Mr. Graves stated that he admired Major McKinley more than any statesman now before the people and believed that he would undoubtedly bo the next President. He further stated that the last four years had wrought a wonderful change in the South on the question of protee tion aud that there are now thousands

of radical protection Democrats there. ,Mr. Graves is a native of Atlanta and was the close personal friend of the lamented Henry W. Grady.

For Governor.

LaGrange Standard: We were agreeably surprised in our travels over the State to see the interest there is among all classes of citizens, and especially those who have taken little or no interest in politics heretofore, to Becure, if possible, the nomination of Senator J. A. Mount for Governor. We know of no man more respected by every one who knows him. Brilliant, courteous and honorable, a keen observer of the interests of his fellowmen and intensely devoted to the welfare of this, his native State. We never heard a man more sincerely zealous in the interest of the common people. One of the ideal farmers of the State, he has made a brilliant success industrious, religious and temperate in everything, he is one of God's noblemen. No safer man in the State to be 'intrusted with its interestG.

Katlng Humble Fie.

The freshman class of Wabash College has seen a great light. It realizes that it cut up very badly about the time of "the 22nd," and the defiant and belligerent attitude it assumed just after the trouble has departed from from every veally breast.

On Wednesday another communication was presented from the class to the faculty in which the young men promised to be good forever and ever, and to no more participate in Washington birthday celebrations.. The communication very humbly asked the reinstatement of the suspended members.

Residence Burned.

Tuesday night the residence of Jack Baldwin's farm at Wesley was burned to the ground. The house had not been occupied for some time and a new tenent, Mr. Luse, was just moving in. The origin of the fire is not known.

Sold.

Alf Lookabill & Co. sold an 80 acre farm south-east of the city belonging to the 8mith Galey heirs to W. S. and S. W. Galey for 83,200.

PHIL UAUK BACKS DOWN.

He Wholly and Unqualifiedly Retracts the Confession lie Alade Coroner Barcus.

Coroner Barcus called at the jail Monday to interview Phil Hauk relative to the approaching session of the grand jury and he suffered quite a shock when the young man coldly informed him that he could be of no assistance to the jury. Hauk stated that the confession he made to Coroner Barcus was wholly false and had been made while he did not know what he was saying. He declared that he and Dr. Stout were both innocent, end explained his presence in Covington with the girl by stating that he had taken her to Dr. Stout in order that Stout might tell what was the matter with her. This Stout did, Hauk now alleges, and sent them back home.

Hauk further stated that he had reconsidered the idea of pleading guilty and would fight the case to the last. He declared himself to be innocent and expressed complete confidence in his ultimate acquittal.

Dr. Barcus was naturally much exercised by the turn affairs took and gave the young man a scathing talk.

Without Hauk's assistance it will be a matter of the greatest diffleultytto convict Dr. Stout, in fact it will be almost an lmnossibilitv.

For Representative.

Cnaries M. Travis is announced in to-day's JOURNAL as a candidate for Representative before the Republican convention to be held May 2. Mr. Travis is 50 years old. He enlisted in the Twelfth Illinois regiment when he was 16, served three years and was discharged in May, 1865, to accept appointment to West Point Military Academy, the appointment (having been made upon the recommendation of his regimental officers, and approved by Generals Sherman and Logan. Finding that the three year's service in thfl field instead of in the common school placed him at the foot of a class of young men fresh from college he resigned and gave 'himse an education by his own work of mornings and evenings and Saturdays. He read law with Gen. Lew Wallace, was admitted to the bar, and was just entering upon a good practice when he was appointed United States Consul at Para, Brazil, South America. He held that office, notwithstanding an attack of yellow fever, for four years and resigned, receiving a letter of commendation from the State Department. He returned to Crawfordsville and has given his time and attention to securing from the Government the just claims of the soldiers and their heirs. In 1889 he was elected Commander of the Department of Indiana, G. A. R., and filled that office with credit to the Department and honor to himself. It was a year of unusual growth and prosperity to the order. By invitation of the Indiana State Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Commission he laid the corner stone, Aug. 22, 1889, of the greatest soldiers' monument in the world. He has been a faithful and earnest worker in the Republican party ever since its organization and would make an able member in the halls of legislation.

A Big Bale.

Tne J. W, Wilson sale near Kirkpatrick last Thursday a week ago was probably the largest in point of attendance that has occurred in Montgomery county for years. A. W. Perkins, the auctioneer, was in excellent trim and the bidding was spirited. We did not learn what the sales amounted to but it must have been way up in the hun-

dreds.
