Entered at the poetoffice in Decatur, The Indianapolis Star says the democratic manufacturers are willing that the tariff be taken off of the other fellow’s product, but he wants his line of goods left alone. So does the bull mooser .-ind the republican. That’s the trouble with the problem. The producer and the consumer have entirely different beliefs and they have reasons to have them. There Is a golden opportunity for Bn After Harvest jubilee in Decatur this year. There will be no fair and the success of old home -week last year is proof that it can be done. Let’s have a meeting of the committee and get busy. Such events make life worth living and do more for a community than anything we know of. Billy Sunday made a hit in Fort Wayne yesterday and declares he will put on a campaign there within the next two weeks that will stir that wicked city from center to circumference. He has Just closed a series of meetings in South Bend in which he made a record of six thousand conversions and incidentally increased his own bank account about SII,OOO. Is salvation still free? When Henry Gassaway Davis ran for vice president in 1904, Senator Elihu Root crlttslzed his nomination on the ground that an octogenarian was better qualifies ror rue than for the second office in the gift of the American people. Last week, Mr. Davis, at the age of ninety, was thrown from his horse ond “'sonciderably shook up,” but his physician announces that he will soon be out again. Since Senator Root made his speech this same young buck figured, we believe, in an elopement. Senator Root ought to reverse his remarks, or offer an apology.—Muncie Press.

HAD TO ENFORCE THE LAW Colonial Justice Ccqld Not Overlook Infraction, Though Ready Enough With Hospitality. The following la aeiatod of a good justice of the pftwee tn Massachusetts In Colonial times. On a cold night in winter a traveler called at his house for lodging, The ready hospitality of the justice was about being displayed when the stranger unluckily uttered a word which his host considered profane. Whereupon he informed hie guest that he was a magistrate, pointed out the nature of the offense, and explained the necessity of Its being expiated by sitting an hour in the stocks. Remonstrance was unavailing for custom at that time allowed the magla trato to convict and punish at once, and in this case the magistrate acted as accuser, witness, jury, judge and sheriff, all tn one. Cold as it was, the worthy justice, aided by hts eon, conducted the traveler to the place of punishment, an open spot near the meeting bouse where the stocks were placed. Here the wayfarer was confined In the Usual manner, the benevolent executor of the law remaining with him to beguile the time of Its tedium by edifying conversation. At the expiration of the hour he was reconducted to the house, ,®d hoepitalably entertained until the next morning, when the traveler departed. -i-Green Bag HEAT ASCRIBED TO BACTERIA Discoveries of Scientist May Account for Otherwise Mysterious Burning of Haystacks. The familiar phenomenon of the heating of hay In the stack has usually been ascribed to purely chemical reactions. Recent researches carried out by Mlche, however, show that the process is a physiological one, due to bacteria and other lowly organisms. It was found that sterilized hay would not heat, but that if sprinkled with water contaminated with earth or ordinary hay it did so A species of bacillus and a fungus were found to be chiefly responsible for temperatures up to 50 degrees centigrade. For higher temperatures another species of bacillus was found to be responsible. The work of the bacteria In the heating of hay illustrates the curious fact that these organisms usually end by killing themselves. In the center of a large heated stack the hay is found to be sterile. And this Is attributed to the killing of the bacteria by the heat which they have themselves evolved. In other cases they are poisoned by the toxins which they themselves produce.

Such Is Fame. Reginald de Koven, the composer of "Robin Hood," left the Knickerbocker theater. New York, recently after a rehearsal of some new chorus people and visited a barber shop across the street from the stage entrance. He climbed into a chair and asked for a shave. ‘ Rehearsing at the Knickerbocker?" asked the barber. "Yes,” replied Mr. de Koven. “Actor?" "No." “Stage mechanic?” "No." "What are you doing on the stage then?" "Did you ever bear of ‘Robin Hood'?" “Sure." "I composed it* * "You did what?” "I said composed it" "Aw. go on." said the barber. “Robin Hood is a race horse.” Probably He Did. ’Gene Stevens, being asked if he knew a new story, deposed and said that he did not, but that he had a friend who was very sick and that the friend had had a good doctor, but that the doctor was puzzled about the case. So a consultation was held. Four other doctors came, looked wise, shook their heads, talked it over together and went away. Then the first doctor summoned the patient's wife. “I am sorry to tell you that your husband is in a bad way,” he said. “If he is religiously inclined I should advise that you send for a minister without delay.” “Yes, doctor. Shall I get just one minister or will he need a consultation?” —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Milking In Smoke. 1 In parts of Finland mosquitoes are so thick that fires have to be made of wet wood or green boughs and brush before the cows can be milked. A Finnish dairyman goes out into the field and starts a fire at milking time. The cows know as well as the mlikers what this little fire and big smoke mean, and they run to get a good place leeward of the fire so as to be in great clouds of smoke. Finland sends out many million dollars of dairy stuff a year, yet the cows are plagued by insects during the whole of the short summer of about twelve weeks, and get no rest from the bltee except when in the smoke. Changed His Tune. The other day a visitor surprised a professor, who was saying to his baby: “On-ny, no-ny, 'e mussy tick his tootsy tootsies —” • . Just then he caught sight of th# visitor, blushed, add murmured: “No, no; you must not expose your pedal extremities by extending them beyond the protective covering of the blankets, or you your system open to- uttaafcw- <rf'“catantial’allamt
