Hundreds of acres of oats were sown mid the ground put in shape for other crops. The outlook for a rich harvest was never brighter. Seven hundred telegrams to the president, arriving in two days from ' men of all shades of political faith and representing every section ot the country, bring Mr. Wilson endorse tnent of his position demanding th® repeal of the canal tolls exemption. The president certainly has a happy faculty of lining up with the people on problems as they arise.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel. j ■“ 1 ——“ Senator Poindexter in his speech at Indianapolis today proclaimed Theo dore Roosevelt as the candidate for i president on the Progressive ticket in two years from now. spoke in favor of woman’s suffrage and was cheered to the echo. He said some real lueau < things about the democrats aud some still meaner ones about the republicans and there was indeed no indication in his talk that the two wings of the ‘ old republican party would ever get _ together. It is evident that no one. except a I few jingoes and mine owners in this country, wants war with Mexico. The pressure put on Huerta by the representatives of the European powers clearly proves that Europe is on tho side of peace. The powers advised Huerta "to apologise to the Tidied States at once, aud end a situation which threatened grave consequences.’ The dictator should comply with tho . demand made by tnis government. Nut i only that, but he should be a good duel i more careful in the future.—lndiana- ’ I polls News. NOTICE. j — I

—-- —~T LUCK THAT COULD NOT LAST Flckla Goddets Had Smiled on Scrib- ■ bier. But Day of Reckoning Was Sure a* the Breaking Morn. With the rent six weeks in arrears Scribbler sat trembling lest the landladv should hear the beating ofjils heart and call tor a reckoning. I res- 1 < ntl> there reached his ears the soun of tierce words, as of two striving together in deadly argument. Scribbler , became aw&re that Mr. and Mrs. SI nipkm* were engaged iu unravel ■ mg one of their domestic tanglesAt length there came a light tap on I the door Scribbler looked toward the window 1 • a* a possible avenue of escape- How ever, before he could make up his , mind to trj the rainspout route the door opened cautiously, and first Slnmpkins' bald head appeared and then the rest of him crept slowly in In a whisper he advised Scribbler • not to pay Mr*. Slumpkins, insomuch as she was not the head of the house. Scribbler acquiesced and Slumpkins disappeared. A little later another rap on the door, this time more insistent, caused Scribbler to look up. It was MrsSlumpkins. "Say, don’t pay my old man any money. Mr. Scribbler. He. won't do | nothing but drink it up. This morning I had to let him know who runs this house. We ain’t speaking to each other now." Again Scribbler acquiesced. That was six months ago. They ( haven't spoken to each other yet. and Scribbler gees on hi* way rejoicing Puzzle question: What will be the first question they ask when they start speaking again?—Satire. MUST HAVE FAITH IN WORK “Mental Pepper” as Necessary a* the Condiment Used to Give Spice to th* Everyday Food*. "Since pepper gives spice to most everything iu the gastronomic line, isn't it reasonable to suppose that a little cayenne injected into everyday business life will have the same es feet?" asks an employer of much labor. "This all mean* that enthusiasm i* the great thing that makes for sue I cess. Without it. no man ever got far along the financial pathway to a competency. "A salesman can go out single-band ed and overcome the greatest ob- 1 stacles if he has the pepper.’ If his enthusiasm is sufficient and his belief strong encugh in bis brand of goods he can overcome the most deep-rooted prejudice and build up a market for Uta wares that w ill remain indefinitely “All it take* i* enthusiasm, and that is gained by constant work and 1 an interest tn your business.

Whatever may be said against the tango, in the matter of nomenclature, at all events, it compare* favorably | with some dances in vogue a hundred year* ago. Harriet Beecher Stowe records that in her girlhood she and her friends used to dance a jig en titled. "Go to the Devil and Shake I Yourself." This dance must have f «n joy- d a long spell of popularity. The first Duke of Buckingham was highly indignant when, having deigned to attend an assembly ball at Aire* ford, di* request for a dance address ed to a local rector's wife, met with the reply: "Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself!" He complained to the rec- ’ tor, and it then transpired that the lady, vho was sotnew hat deaf, thought I Ute grace had asked her what dance then being played This incident cct'unwd in 1795. and twenty years later Brgbbe, in hi* "Tales." animadvert* on a bookseller for stocking the music of a dance with eueb a profane title.—Manchester Courier.
