In fact, he said, that during his long practice he had found but one man over fifty years old with thirty-two teeth in his head.

A newspaper can print the grandest sermon that ever fell from inspired lips and not 20 per cent of the professedly pious will read it; print a detail amount of some female bunco’game or a sensational divorce in high life and 99 per cent of the very elect will make a dive for the paper before breakfast, swoop down upon It, devour every word, then roll their eyes heavenward, like a calf with the colic and wonder what the wicked world is coming to. The Muncie Star says several hundred inactive members in two of Muncie’s most prominent churches have been relieved from membership, and, this action is being followed by different churches in other parts of the state. The erasures from the rolls have been made in both the First Baptist church and the High Street M. E. church, the pastors and congregations believing it is better to have fewer earnest workers than a larger number, some of whom have little interest in the welfare of the organization. 'The~telegraph~strike is - ended" After thirteen weeks of labor struggle which has Involved nearly 15,000 commercial telegraphers throughout the country, the final action toward terminating the strike was taken yesterday Afternoon, when Chicago local union, the largest local in the country, voted to call off the strike and return to work unconditionally.

Negotiations are on. the culmination of which will be, no doubt, that Decatur and Bluffton will lock horns once more this year. This time it will be football instead of base ball, but the old feeling will be there just the same and this will make the winter game attractive to base ball as well as foot ball fans. Whether they will play and on wnat terms will be decided tonight. Both places have good material in their teams and though Bluffton has had the most practice the Decaturites will not t> e easy by any means. —Bluffton Banner. One of the fashionable sins of the present time is the sin of idleness. This must not apply to the “club ladies!’ of our town, but this evil exists to an alarming extent, especially so in larger cities, where competent ladies flit away time as if there were no claims upon them in busy parts of life. There are persons whom the stress of circumstances compel to work but the work is too often done under protest. There is growing distaste for housekeeping. While all honest work is honorable there is nothing more so than the care of the home—Ex. “Too Proud to Beg" will be on the boards at the Bosse Opera House Wednesday, Nov. 13. This play is said to be the best that Lincoln J. Carter has ever written and adds another pearl to his already large string in his previous successes. A capable cast is needed to bring out the strong points in the story and the aggregation of players that is with the production is said to be the best that will be seen here for many a day. Aside from the intensity and interest of the story, an elaborate scenic setting clothes the neatest, most refined and delicate drama that is given to the public this season.

The automobile, modern peril of the public highway, has destroyed the lives of 256 men, women and children in the United States during the ten months from January 1 to November 1.

In those two months 143 persons were killed, 30 more than in all the previous months of 1907. The total of seriously injured bounded up from 362 to 864.
