Harriman, who raised that $250,000 pot for Roosevelt, for use in New York in 1904, says that stock doings in Wall street give “no indication of the real wealth of the country or of the counry’s prosperity,” and that “no panic is coming.” Mr. Harriman is not troubled even a little bit about the talk of prosecuting him. He seems to know that Mr. Roosevelt would' not proceed to such an extremity among friends. Jim Watson says he does hate to give up congress, but he just can't stand it any longer, so great is his ambition to become governor of the state. He says he’s in the fight to win. and that's what the other fellows are saying, too. There are a number of high steppers out for the Republican nomination and the race promises to be the hottest the state has ever known. —Columbia City Post. Whatever most persons may think of the wisdom of President Roosevelt’s taking a hand, however, slight, in the Cleveland mayoralty fight for Mr. Burton, the politicians will be sure to say, “There’s Buttinsky again.”—Muncie Press. o MOST LIKELY A PIPE (Continued from page 1.) the presidency other than Secretary of War Taft or president Roosevelt, if he should be induced to accept the nomination, will be taken in Washington in February by the election of two negro delegates from the District of Columbia. With this beginning the strongest kind of a campaign is to be waged to emphasize in a substantial way the dissatisfaction of the colored voters of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft in discharging the negro troops from the army for their alleged participation in the rioting at Brownsville, Texas. New York. Sept. 19. —“The president is firm against becoming a candidate for another term and nothing can alter his determination unless it is some movement of his enemies.” The above satement was made by one of a party of gentlemen who today had been guests of President Roosevelt at luncheon at Sagamore Hill. The views of the president had been drawn out during the long informal talk at luncheon. Gen. Wright was one of the guests. — FIRST NATIONAL BANK DECATUR INDIANA CAPITAL SIOO,OOO SURPLUS $20,000 INTEREST PAID ON DEPOSITS THE PICTORIUM TONIGHT Motion pictures—“ The Slave Behind the Curtain.” TO BE GIVEN AWAY worth of Merchandiseon October 7th.

Forbidden Game*. Almost every one of England's popular games has at one time or another been made Illegal. Scotland is the home of golf, yet in 1457 the Scottish parliament passed an act entailing severe penalties on any one caught playing tire game. Edward 111., Henry IV. and Henry VIII. all strongly objected to football, and Queen Elizabeth made it an offense p’ .’.lshable by imprisonment to play football. There is a record of sixteen people being imprisoned at once for breaking this law. Football is still under a ban in some parts of the world. Two of the Swiss cantons refuse to allow it, and in Turkey it is absolutely illegal, and those who dare to play it are punished. Among oddities of laws about games must be mentioned a French decree of the thirteenth century. By the king’s command the gallants of the court were forbidden to play tennis “in their shirts.” Whether his majesty of France insisted upon coats only or whether the unfortunate players were doomed to practice in complete suits of armor does not appear. — London Graphic. Agriculture In Africa. Excepting perhaps some Malayan tribes the African negroes are said to be the finest agriculturists of all the natural races. The Bongos are said to have a greater variety of garden plants around their huts than are found in the fields and gardens of a German village. Irrigation is practiced. The Angolas. in the Kongo districit, have practical irrigation. The Wachangu show wonderful skill in irrigating their terraced hillsides by tunnels of water diverted from the main stream. “They have a clear mode of irrigating equally a given surface. As the little canals of water are always elevated above the cultivated plants, they will tap them at a convenient spot above the beds to j be watered and then turn the stream into a rough conduit made of the hollow stems of bananas cut in half, the end of each stem overlapping the next. Then as the water enters the last joint it is freely turned right and left, distributing the vivifying stream in all directions.”—Southern Workman. Too Cold For Overcoats. “You do not find any one wearing overcoats in Alaska, even in the winter,” said a man from that territory. “The principal thing to be careful about is keeping the head, hands and feet warm. In that part of Alaska where I have been the only land transportation is by dog sleds, and to follow them one has to drop into a dogtrot beside the sled. An ordinary suit is plenty thick enough to keep you warm, and an overcoat is dangerous in that temperature. Trotting alongside a sled wearing an overcoat would make you perspire, and the bitter cold would freeze the perspiration. The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes, and there is only a little peephole for them. Wool lined mitts are worn on the hands and moccasins with woolen stockings on the feet.”—Baltimore Sun. Tragedy of a Wooden Leg. A man who travels on a wooden leg says: “About the worst accident we ever heard of befalling a wooden legged man is the time one such unfortunate was going home after being to a late supper, along about 3 o’clock In the morning, when his peg leg went through an auger hole in the grub plank sidewalk, and he kept circling about that hole all night thinking he was going home. The editor of this paper wants it distinctly understood that we cannot vouch for the truthfulness of this story.”—Kansas City Journal. All the Same. At one of the large north country churches recently a fashionably dressed lady happened to go into one of the private pews. The verger, who Is known to be a very stern old chap, immediately bustled up to her and said: “I’m afraid, miss, you’ll ha’e to cum out 0’ that. This is a paid pew.” “Sir,” said the young lady, turning sharply round, “do you know who I am? I’m one of the Fifes.” "I dinna care,” said the old man, “if you are the big drum. Y’ou’ll ha’e to cum out.”—Edinburgh Scotsman. Dainty if Not Substantial. The wife of a farmer had a sister come from Chicago to make a visit. One day the thrashers came, and the guest insisted on doing the work alone and sent her sister away to rest. When twenty-seven thrashers filed in to supper that night they found a sandwich tied with ribbon, one chicken croquette, one cheese ball the size of a marble and a buttonhole bouquet at each nlata—Fmnoria IKan.l Gazette Indigestion Stomach trouble 1» but a symptom of. and no* In itself a true disease.

The Stale Bread of Hungary. In Hungary they do not eat fresh bread. Whether it is because the Hungarians believe in hygiene more than their American or European brothers and sisters or not has never been told, but the Magyar is partial to stale bread, and the staler the better. His “rozskenyer,” or ordinary black bread, as it is eaten by the wary large majority of the Magyar population, is carefully laid away on a shelf and dug out for consumption mouths and months after it has come out of the great ovens. If the huge loaf, weighing something like five pounds and for which the Hungarian pays 6 or 7 kreutzer, equivalent to about 3 or 4 cents in American money, has carefully been hidden away for two years, it Is considered all the better. The Hungarian never thinks of where the bread is to come from tomorrow. He thinks of where It is to come from next year, for he has at least a year’s supply on the shelves. The Hungarian bakes her bread 365 days ahead of time. Her Wednesday baking is for the Wednesday of a year to come; her Thursday baking for the Thursday of a year to come. To Cut the Night In Two. Professor Victor Hallopeau, member of the Paris Academy of Medicine, says: The true secret of long continued, valuable brain work is to cut the night in two. The scholar, the inventor, the financier, the literary creator, should be asleep every night by 10 o'clock, to wake again at, say, 2 in the morning. Three hours’ work, from 2 to 5. in the absolute tranquillity of the silent hours should mean the revealing of new powers, new possibilities, a wealth of ideas undreamed of under the prevailing system. From 5 to 8 or 8:30 sleep again. Taking up then the day's work, the brain will be ptill saturated with the mental fruits of the midnight vigil; there will be no effort in putting into practice or carrying further what was planned or begun those few hours before. The habit may be hard to acquire, but mechanical means of waking at first will induce the predisposition.— New York World. The Military Death Sentence. “Y’ou know how a soldier traitor is put to death.” said the colonel. "The traitor stands blindfolded, and half a dozen privates shoot at him simultaneously. But perhaps you don’t know that each of those privates, though he take the most careful aim, may afterward say without fear of contradiction that the traitor’s blood does not stain his hands. This is the reason: Two of the rifles for this ghastly shooting are always loaded with blank cartridges. Then they are shuffled, and no one knows which the harmless ones are. The executioners draw, and each is as like as not to draw a harmless gun. So when they shoot they can solace themselves with the thought that maybe they are only shooting a blank cartridge at the poo' blindfolded wretch before them.” Han* Breitniann’a Philosophy. I have found that If we resolve to be vigorous of body and mind, calm, collected, cheerful, etc., we can effect marvels, for it is certainly true that after awhile the spirit or will does haunt us unconsciously and marvelously. I have, I believe, half changed my nature under this discipline. I will continually to be free from folly, envy, irritability and vanity, to forgive and forget, and I have found, by willing and often recurring to it, that, while far from being exempt from fault, I have eliminated a vast mass of it from my mind. It is certainly true, as Kant wrote to Hufeland, many diseases can be cured by resolving them away. He thought the gout could be.—Letters of Charles Godfrey Leland. Supremely Exasperating. "Don’t you think Mrs. Spurrell has an awful temper?” “She has. but can you blame the poor ’ woman? She has a husband who just absolutely won’t get mad at all” Dear. Indeed! “The dear, dear girls!” exclaimed Mrs. Pawkins, looking at her fashion- • able daughters enthusiastically. i “Yes: the dear, dear girls!” muttered i Mr. Pawkins despondently. Man yields to custom as he bows to fate—in all things ruled, mind, body and estate.—Crabbe. PILLS AND PILES. A prolific cause of Piles is the use of cathartics and pills of a drastic, violent nature, which is always followed by a reaction on account of the resinous, drying properties they contain. There are other causes, but no matter what the cause or what the kind of Piles, Dr. Leonhardt’s Hem-Roid can be relied upon to cure—to stay cured. It’s an internal remedy that removes the causes of Itching. Blind. Bleeding or Suppurating Piles. A guarantee goes with each package containing a month’s treatment.
