Twas Representative Wells of Allen county, who first introduced the law requiring railroads to pay the state of Indiana 11,000 a year for the privilege of selling liquor on their trains within the borders of the Hoosier commonwealth. Already the New York Central company has taken out a license for three of its leased lines — the Big Four, the Lake Shore and the Michigan Central —paying $3,000 into the public treasury and is therefore free to sell liquors on the Central dining and buffet cars on the lines mentioned. —Ft. Wayne Journal-Ga-zette. The report that Governor Hanly is to appoint John R. McCardle to the position of state tax commissioner is not surprising to those familiar with the relations of the men. Both of them are members of the famous K. of P. coterie that has figured so successfully in Hoosier officialdom in recent year. Indeed. Mr. McCardle, Mr. Hanly, James E. Watson, Union Banner Hunt and Dan Storms were the bright and shining lights therein. Poor Storms, to be sure, fell by the wayside, but the close relations of the others still obtain. The cement of brotherly love and affection remains soft and plastic and Brother Hanly i s spreading it. — Fort Wayne News.

The trouble in Ohio between the factions of the Republican party grows worse very gratifyingly. Hardly had the candidacy of Secretary Taft for the next presidential nomination been announced when Senator Foraker put himself in the race. Taft's friends had declared that Ohio Republican sentiment was overwhelmingly for his nomination. Foraker challenges the truth of that statement and wants the question settled by a primary election throughout the state. The proposition is that if Taft fails to get a majoriy of the vote® he is to get out of the way and give Foraker a clear field as Ohio's candidate. Taft is to have the delegation if Foraker fails to get a majority. This looks like a fair proposal and a free fight all along the line. A Washington newspaper letter says that Cortelyou, the new secretary of the treasury, wants to "divorce" the United States treasury from Wall street. "It is a notorious fact," says the letter, "that for years there has been what ought to be designated a penumatic tube connection between the high financiers in Wall street and the treasury." It has been the custom of the said "high financiers" to get help rrom the government whenever they got in a pinch through overspeculation. Secretary Shaw was notoriously their friend and so was Secretary Gage before him. There would be fewer panics in Wall street if the gamblers knew the government would not come to their relief with the people's money. STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

How Dolls Aro Made. Many big things are needed to make ■ small dolt She has her beginning in a great trough, where workmen knead up into a dingy paste old cardboard, even old gloves, old rags and gum tragacanth. They are great brawny fellows, these men, naked to the waist, wearing leathern aprons. In an adjoining room the paste is poured into molds for the busts, the arms, the legs of dolls innumerable. There is a special machine for stamping out the hands. I should not like to confess bow long I stood in front of IL fascinated by the steady stream of queer little hands that fell ceaselessly from the iron monster. It was awful, uncanny, hypnotizing. Indeed, the whole sight was grim and monstrous. The low factory rooms were misty with steam and lit by strange, red glowing fires. Always the great steel machines pulsed and changed, and through the mist sweaty giants of men went to and fro with heaps of Uttle greenish arms and legs until you began to think that some new Herod had killed all the little people in the world.—Everybody's. Napoleon Trusted His Omens. Napoleon always had an unlimited trust in his presentiments. When the news came to him that one of the Nile river boats, the name of which was L'ltalle, had been wrecked and the crew put to death he gave up all hope of ever completing his conquest of Italy by annexation. Napoleon believed that the stars exercised an occult influence over human destinies. When General Rapp, at one time his ald-de-camp, returned from the siege of Dantsic he found the emperor gazing with concentrated attention at the heavens. “Look there!” shouted the emperor. "It is my star! The fiery red one, almost as large as the moon! It is before you now, and. ah, how brilliant! It has never abandoned me for a single instant I see it on all great occasions. It commands me to go forward; it is my sign of good fortune, and where it leads I will follow.” The Old Calfskin Shoe Lace. The modern boot lace is anything but a luxury. It is nearly always just too long or a little too short and, although made fiat It soon becomes curled with a little wear. In the old days laces were made of calfskin, and nearly every farmer was an expert He would cut a disk of leather three or four inches in diameter, stick the point of a sharp knife blade in a board, place the thumb nail the thickness of a match from it and quickly draw the string through the opening, the perimeter being reduced the thickness of a match at every measure of the circumference. Then the square string was rolled between the sole of the shoe and the floor till perfectly round, after which it was greased with tallow. Such a lace would last for months. Round laces are now made of fiber, but their shine soon wears off, giving them a much worn appearance. How to Enjoy Whist. “How can one learn to enjoy the game of whist?” —AspiranL Get yourself roped into a game as partner to some one who helped Hoyie write his book. The other, two players must also be experts. Start in pleasantly to enliven the game with a few well chosen anecdotes, now and then making the wrong play. After your partner has slapped your ears and sworn at you and put the black curse on you and all your ancestry and called you a fool a few times you will awake to the real joy of the gentle and intellectual game. We have tried this several times, but not at frequent intervals. and we can guarantee its efficacy. —Chicago News. Rossini’s Watch. In 1824 Charles X. presented Rossini, the composer, with a repeating watch, studded with diamonds, and playing two of Rossini’s melodies. Nobody in Bologna could clean the watch, so it was sent in the care of the tenor, Fabiano. to Paris, where it was destroyed in a fire. Plivee, the watchmaker, thereupon made a second watch, the exact counterpart of the first except that the diamonds were false, and Rossini, who never discovered this pious fraud, wore the trinket all his life. On his death it passed to a relative, whose son sold it to an Englishman. It is said to contain an excellent portrait in enamel of Rossini as he was in 1824. English and French Husbands. When an English wife has hysterics her husband is immediately bored and goes to his club or else he says: “You are not very well, my dear. Shall I send for a doctor?” The Frenchman, au contralre, has hysterics too. The Frenchman may fight with his wife, love her. hate her. kiss her or kill her, but indifferent to her, superior to her, never!—Pol de Leon In London World. The Truth of It. Teacher—Johnny, can you define for us the difference between “caution” and "cowardice?” Johnny — Yessum. When you're scart to go out on a boat and stay home for fear It’ll sink and the boat comes In all right, it's “cowardice.” Teacher—Well? Johnny — And if you’re scart and stay home and the boat does sink, then it's "caution.” Nat an Ancestor. Papa was carefully studying the family history in the big Bible when his nine-year-old daughter surprised him by saying, “Papa, was Aunt Ann one of your Ann-sisters?” Work. Moat of us work hard enough, but too many of us work hardest trying to keep from working.—Atlanta Georgian. Noble discontent Is the path to heav-

Romance may certainly figure in many of the knitted waistcoats and gorgeous stockings worn by our undergraduates today, but these have not so romantic an origin as the first of these articles produced in England, for tradition has It that William Lee, who tn the sixteenth century invented the knitting frame on which both stockings and waistcoats were produced mechanically, was driven to thia piece of ingenuity by the cruel flouting of the lady he loved, who happened to be a stocking knitter. Enraged at his failure to make an impression oa her heart, be sought »o make it on her purse by killing her means of livelihood. and one is glad to read that all stocking makers combined to frustrate his cruel purpeee. with the reealt that be ted with his invention to France, where he finally died of a broken heart, whether for love of hia lady or of his spelled Invention tradition does not say.—London CLronlele.
