Christmas gifts, don't leave out the i present for the more unfortunate than you. Perhaps there is a little child in your neighborhood that you can make happy by a small gift. You will feel the Christmas spirit more if you do this, and will be much happier. It is said that President Taft has intimated a purpose to act upon no more Indiana appointments until after March 4th. On that day Senator Beveridge retires to private life. The suspicion is hardly strained that reorganization in Indiana was among , the burning topics discussed at the re|cent visit of Mr. Fairbanks to the white house.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. We have heard cf many ways of jumping into fame, but it occurs to us, that that Michigan blind man who has petitioned the governors of four states to permit him the use of an electric | chair for a moment or two, has a ' shade on all others of recent date, unless it's the Alliance, Ohio, “Gift of ! Tongue” artist, who is trying to gain . a reputation by proclaiming his own shame and that of one of his fair sisters to the world. The Bluffton Banner last evening turned out a Christmas edition, of ' twenty pages, with two colors on the ' first page, and all home print. No one bflt a fellow who has “jimmed” around a newspaper office all his life, knows what a task such a job is. They put out six thousand of triem and the edition contained about ninety coliumns of advertising. It was a sea- ■ ture worth while and we congratulate ' the boys who did it. SALE OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS.
