If you are contemplating getting in the race for any of the public offices, better act quickly. The democratic state committee will hold the first meeting of the season at Indianapolis tomorrow, at which time they will fix the dates for district conventions. Many democrats from over the state will be there and all the big fellows will circulate. It is believed that a resolution endorsing Governor Marshall as a candidate for president will be passed. CongressnTafF Rauch and the democratic members of the house from Indiana and other stales are standing on the same platform as Congressman Adair of Portland, in the matter of pension legislation. The latter is visiting the various G. A. R. posts in his district and telling the members where he stands. In a recent address at Anderson, Mr. Adair said that the reason for not urging pension legislation during the extra session was that there was no appropriation until the next regular session, within reach for that purpose. He stated in addition that he believed the Sherwood pension bill would likely meet the greatest favor at the hands of the invalid and pension committees at the next congressional session. Mr. Adair explained that the Sherwood bill was the one which gave S3O a month pension to ninety per cent of the civil war veterans, and $25 a month to the remaining ten per cent. The congressman expressed his belief that this measure would pass through the lower house of congress, and announced his intention to strive for the enactment of said measure. Mr. Adair also asserted uiat the next session would

One may laugh as much as be] ' pleases at what is found in a small boy’s pocket. A lady's purse may contain just as equally amusing and startling collection of things. This is what was in a “two-by-four purse that was found: Fifteen cents. 1 stick of gum, a pill box containing face powder, a locket and chain, 2 handkerchiefs, a mirror, a doll press pattern, a Sunday school paper, 1 church contribution envelope, 1 small silver purse with chain, some note paper, 1 fancy fringed and ribbon trimmed Cham- ’ ois skin “face “dab." Howard Wisehaupt, wffio for a number of months has been in the employ, of the Savage Publishing company, lo- | cated at Washington, D. C.. as solic-' itor, returned home Saturday evening, being called on account of the illness of his mother, who has been in failing health for several years. Mr. Wisehaupt liked his work very much and met with excellent success while in ' the employ of this company, known , all over the world. He has been 1 working in a number of the large cit- 1 ies and his present headquarters are ' al Salisbury, Maryland. I ‘ The unusual life of the newspaper ’ man has been divertingly set for by numerous writers, but the experiences of the newspaperwoman, the writer of “sob stories,” and “human interest , views,” has seldom been told so well , as by Miss Edna Ferber, herself a re-; porter of wide experience, who has 1 made it the background for her new' novel, “Dawn O’Hara.” Miss Ferber ’ makes Dawn, her journalistic heroine, say regarding her own craft: “If a woman reporter were to burst into I tears every time she saw something to weep over, she’d be going about ' with a red nose and puffy eyelids half I the time. Scarcely a day passes that ■ > does not bring her face to face with i human suffering in some form. Not . . only must she see these things, but : she must write of them so that those i who read can also see them. And just because she does not wail and 5 tear her hair and faint she popularly - is supposed to be a flinty, cigarette- ' [ smoking creature who rampages up and down the land, seeking whom she may rend with her pen and gazing ’' dry-eyed upon scenes of horrid bloodI shed.”
