Entered at the postottiee at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. It is now claimed that this maneuver business along the Mexican border is only an excuse for lining up our army for a tilt with Japan. Teddy, the strenuous, has- been quiet about as long as possible, longer in fact than most people thought he could be, but it has come—he has again broken into the big headlineshe. is going to head an army division if the anticipated war with Japan materializes. Us fellers that thought last fall when he refused to be interviewed for a whole week, would finish him, seem to have another guess coming. As the veterans of the civil wat pass away one by one, it makes us think that if the United States is ever going to show their appreciation of the sacrifice these men made, they should be doing it soon. The dolar-a-day pension law would give that sum to each of these men whose lives have undoubtedly been shortened many years, and many of whom have too much pride to fight for an increase and go through all the red tape necessary.

“FREEZE” AND “BURN” Thau Two Words Hod a Common Paront In Ono Aryan Root. We are likely to consider "freeze’' and “burn” us two distinctly opposite effects, but if, for a simple experiment, you will touch your tougue to a bit of heated iron and to a bit of iron that is extremely cold the effects, as shown in the blisters produced and in tho sensation of the contacts, will be found to be surprisingly alike. It is doubtful If our Aryan ancestors when they were planting the seed of the English and its sister languages thought of the scientific relations of what we call heat and cold, but they gave to us the root “pros,” which they got out of the sensations produced by burning and freezing. As usual, Aryan roots beginning with the “p” sound change it to "f” on the tongues of the Teuton; so with these our more modem ancestors “prus" became •‘frus,’’ and from it came our "freeze” and "frost.” Again, as is usual, our Hindu brother in his Sanskrit usually preserves the Aryan “p" sound, so be has from this root "prush.” meaning to burn. This root of freeze became “freosan" in Anglo Saxon, which is our "frozen." In Icelandic It became "frjosa,” in Swedish "frysa” and In Danish "fryse.” In the Latin the original “p” sound is retained in "pruina,” meaning hoarfrost, and in “pruna,” signifying a burning coal. Here we see united two apparently opposite meanings growing out of the old root “prus.”— New York Herald. AFRICAN LIONS. They Often Hunt In Couples to Start and Capture Thoir Prey. Lions in Africa go hunting often in couples and then rather systematically. When, for instance, a couple of lions have traced out a kraal—that is to say. a place fenced by small cut thorn trees, where flocks of asses or oxen, goats or sheep are shut up for the night—the lioness approaches cau- j tiously, profiting by every tree or bush , to hide herself. At the same time the ; lion himself lies watching on the op- , posite in the distance.. Now the lioness exerts herself to I arouse the cattle—which is not dlfli- j cult, as they become excited merely I by smelling a beast of prey—till the | cattle are tormented to the utmost by fear and horror, break through the kraal on the side opposite to the lion- ! ess and thus fall an easy prey to the | lion. The lion chases his victim and throttles it by springing on its neck or j breast and biting his teeth into this : part. The hunted aidmal falls, and the lion now tears open the flanks. ‘ The lioness appears and has her share 1 of the meal. Very often they cannot devour their victim in one night; then | they come back to the place where the , remains are on the following or the second night. The lion’s favorite food is zebra, quagga (of which there are few left in Africa) and wild ass. The meat of these three kind of animals is something alike in taste. English Clay Pipes. The clay pipe, which is vanishing j from the Fleet street chophouse, was the only variety smoked in this coun- , try until quite recent times. The clay pipe made Its appearance in England in the later years of the sixteenth century. Writing about a century later, a French author remarks that the English “invented the pipes of baked clay which are now used everywhere.” i

"Broseley, In Staffordshire, has been famous for its pipes and elay from the days of Elizabeth.” writes W. A. Penn in “The Soverane Herb.” "Now all the clay of which white pipes are manufactured comes, from Newton Abbot and Kingsteignton. in Devonshire. It is sent to all parts of England and the world in rough lumps about the size of quartern loaves, weighing some twenty-eight pounds each.”—London Spectator. A Heartless Interruption. A young Parisian, noted for his grace and readiness as a second in many duels, was asked by a friend to accompany him to the mayor’s office to affix his signature as a witness to the matrimonial registry. He consented. but when the scene was reached forgot himself. Just as the mayor was ready for the last formalities he broke out: "Gentlemen, cannot this affair be arranged? Is there no way of preventing this sad occurrence?” Plain Hunger. "Doctor, what disease is the most prevalent among the poor?” “An alarming condition in which the nerve terminations in the stomach stimulated by accumulated secretions of the gastric glands send irritations to the spinal cord byway of the pneumogastric nerve.” "Goodness!

First of all, there was a contest in which questions were 1 to be asked in Irish brogue, the person answering being required to answer in any other words than plain i “yes” or "no" under penalty of for-feiting-a button, six buttons being given each one for forfeits. The winner was the one who closed with the least number of buttons. Then came an Irish potato race, and the telling of i Irish stories. A luncheon, nicely served in two courses, carrying out the color scheme of green in the menu., was an item of pleasure. Favors 1 were sugared cakes in the form of Irish pipes, tied with emerald green ' ribbons. During the luncheon papers on which were written Irish stories, the papers being cut in two parts, were read and matched, the partners thus found, being required to com-
