The smile speaks the sunshine of the soul and he who looks pleasant, always is. It’s a pleasure to approach him, no difference what the errand, and the moral is—Keep on smiling. A constitutional convention in Indiana is no longer a dream. It's a possibility. Governor Marshall usually does what he starts out to do and if he is really the originator of this plan of reconstruction you can bet dollars to doughnuts that there will be a new constitution submitted to the people of Indiana. Among the questions that will perhaps bob up as issues will be the proposed change in the legislative meetings, four year terms for county officers, and without doubt the prohibition question would be disposed of for some time to come, really taking it out of politics. President Taft made it very plain in his speech at Columbus that in his estimation reciprocity with Canada will not be detrimental to the interests of the American farmer. Such an arrangement will give the Canadian farmer no advantage whatever except that which is his anyway by virtue of the virgin soil of the far northwest. There will be no damaging competition and the advantages of having two such vast countries working in harmony and unison will redound to the great advantage of both. Taft's head is level on this proposition, and if the republican congress refuses to help him carry out his plans he may call an extra session of congress and ask the democrats to bring about the desired result, and that indeed would be a good start for the democrats to make. —Columbia City Post. LIFE SAVED AT DEATH’S DOOR. “I never relt so near my grave,” writes W. R. Patterson, of Wellington, Tex., as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 pounds, in spite of doctor’s treatment for two years. My father, mother and two sisters died of consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King’s New Discovery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 187 pounds and have been well and strong for years.” Quick, safe, sure, it’s the best remedy on earth for coughs, colds, lagr-ppe, asthma, croup, and all throat and lung troubles. 50c and SI.OO.

Two hundred or more attended the valentine social given Monday evening in the Ben Hur hall by the Ruth Circle of the Christian church. The hall was appropriately decorated with red hearts, strung on ribbons and festooned from chandelier to chandelier and wall to wall, hung on pictures and windows and festooning the piano. With G. T. Burk, master of ceremonies, the social opened with a “heart hunt.” Many little candy hearts bearing valentine mottoes, were hidden and the company given a certain time to find them. Miss Florence Meyers succeeded in luring the most of the hearts from their hiding places and was given a pretty valentine for her success, while Miss Etta Mallonee, second in line, was awarded one of the comic style. Following this a program was rendered, there being instrumental solos and duets by Irene Eady, Neva Brandbyerry, Marie Daniels, Frances Merryman, Helen Fonner, Irma Houck, Mrs. G. C. Steele and Mrs. Sadie Cowley; vocal numbers by Nellie Daniels, the High School Girls’ chorus. Mrs. Anker and others, and readings by Miss Ethel Smith and Mabel Weldy. In one corner of the room was a fortune teller s tent, where Miss Minnie Orvis presided, In her inimitable and delightful way, telling by the palms of each, what the future had in store for them, causing much merriment and fun. A valentine fishing pond was also one of the features and after enjoyment of these there were games of various

ktnds Partners for luncheon were found in a unique way. A large number of hearts each bearing a number were pinned on a poster, the number corresponding to the numbers opposite the names of the ladies who registered as they entered. The gentlemen shot the hearts with a silver arrow, and vne heart punctured, bore the number of the lady, who was to be bis partner during luncheon. Lunen consisted of sandwiches, pickles, potato salad, with lettuce leaf garniture, heart-shaped tarts and coffee. This was served by a bevy of little girls of one of the Sunday school classes, who were dressed in white aprons and caps adorned with red hearts. The booths, selling crackerjack, candies, ice cream and cake, were well patronized, in fact so much so that the supply ran out long before all were supplied, and it was necessary to call upon the ice cream parlors for replenishment. The social was a great success financially, and the amount realized therefrom will be a handsome addition to the class’ fund for the proposed new basement of the church. The class is greatly indebted to all those who assisted so kindly. St. Valentine's day will not go down upon a prettier party that that given this afternoon at 3 o’clock by Mrs. D. M. Hensley in compliment to Miss Blanche Dibble, and enjoyed by forty guests, including the members of the Black Rags and the Young Matrons’ clubs. Ten little tables in the Hensley apartments accommodated the guests, and on the tables were large red hearts, with a number of magazines and mucilage complete. From the magazines were cut advertisement pictures, which were used to illustrate the characteristics of some guest present. This was a very amusing occupation and some very clever little “descriptions without words” were made. The hearts were then reversed and as many words as possible were made from “St. Valentine.” At the luncheon hour a very delicious luncheon was enjoyed in the dining room, buffet style, the two courses comprising pressed meats, salad, olives, two varieties of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and cake. The dining room and table were very charming in their decorations appropriate to the day. Under the plate rails, were suspended festoons of red hearts the entire round of the room, and above, forming the outline of a dado, were larger red hearts. The table in the center of the room from which the luncheon was served, was very pretty. The centerpiece was a large branched silver candelabrum in which gleamed red tapers, while at each corner on red heart-mats, were smaller crystal candelabra with their red tapers. Over the table was a large chandelier with green hood, the light from both electricity and candles adding much beauty to the scene.

Levi Barkley went to Hoagland this morning to attend the golden wedding of his brother, Jacob Barkley, and wife, which was celebrated at the Barkley home today, the children and brothers and sisters of the “bride and groom,” with their families, being present. Mr. and Mrs. Barkley were married just fifty years ago today, the bride being Miss Sarah Grube of Allen county. Immediately after marriage the newly wedded couple went to housekeeping on a farm near Hoagland, where they spent their entire married life until retiring and moving to Hoagland a few years ago. The minister solemnizing their marriage was Rev. Thomas Hickernell, who is, however, not living now.

Mr. and Mrs. Kit Cowan of Bobo entertained at supper the following guests, Mr. and Mrs. Charley Schenk and daughters, Margaret and Helen of Pleasant Mills, Mrs. Sarah Cowan and Mrs. Mary Falk of Bobo. All departed in the evening, after enjoying a short time in social chat. Mr. and Mrs. U. Deininger are entertaining their nephew and niece, Charles and Anna Loos of Fort Wayne. Mr. Loos has just returned from Panama. Mrs. E. H. Kilbourne of Fort Wayne is also here for the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leininger, and she will be joined in an over-Sunday visit by her husband. One of the pleasant valentine parties will be the class party given this evening by the Misses Lulu Atz and Mary Erwin at the home of the former. Charles, Christena and Anna Berning gave a delightful pedro party Monday evening at their home at St. John’s, the guests filling seven tables. Music was furnished during the evening by Miss Pauline Berning, and after the games, a delicious luncheon was provided. The evening was greatly enjoyed by the large number present. The Priscilla Girls were pleasantly entertained Monday evening by Miss Edith Miller. Prizes in games were
