Nearby in a camp fire was found the charred re- j plains of wagon shafts. This might have been left by tue gypsies, however- The Huntington officers, however, report that the Allen county officials had received word from the various farmers in that county, that a wagon tongu<Nwas stolen at one place yesterday; at another a neck yoke and at another some harness. It is quite probable that the man fitted himself out at those places and hitched up the team instead of his one horse.

A COW MIS-STEPS And Left Leg of Little Clarence Durkin is Broken Above Ankle. A PAINFUL INJURY _____ I Sustained by Sheriff's Son When Leading Cow to the Pasture. A mis-step of the cow he was leadj ing to pasture near the C. & E. rail- | road at 7:30 o'clock this morning ' caused the breaking of the left leg of little Clarence Durkin, aged twelve, second eldest son of Sheriff arid Mrs. T- J. Durkin. The cow was being led over an embankment and as the boy braced himself the cow stepped on the side of his shoe. The boy's foot was twisted into such a position that both bones ot the leg above the ankle were broken. The ankle itself was not crushed or injured, and there is much gratI ilication in this, as an injury to the ankle ij> exceedingly bad. The little fellow was picked up by one of the boys and brought back : home, where two physicians were' called to attend the boy. He was given an anaesthetic and the bones were set It is thought he will re-' . cover well and that no lameness will' result after the break heals.

As far as giving the man his tools, his job. and his )>TofiU, let us tee how that will work. By the system expressed by the uoclalistk creed all »

things would be placed into the hands of the people. Majority would as ever rule, now is a man's occupation going to be determined, how his pay regulated and how his income spent? I don’t know Seidel doesn’t know and he cannot tell you or me lor his system does not explain it- It is Hike a joy ride in' the dark; you know you are go>ng some place, but you don't know where you are going. The Bible teaches us the art of thrift and .investment. The parable of the taleuts applies to this problem Let not thy talents be idle n>r it gains no results. Idle money out of circulation would soon come into (lie hands of a few energetic ones and you would be back in the same old system of representative government, but only after making the lengthy transition from the stages of the present representation government back to representative government.
