I WEATHER FORECAST I tnnttutntn xE* Fair and warmer tonight and Tuesday. Necessities are the best gifts tiiat God has vouchsafed us. The eight-hour movement in the United States began in 1868. I have seen honesty that a slight dash of impudence would improve. A man may outlive his capacity to do good, but not his capacity to do evil. fTo stop an advertisement to save money is like stopping a watch to save time. I Occasionally a man can be judged & by the company he keeps away from t home. Portland, Maine, has a barber who ■ has been in continuous service for ■ fifty years. Mrs. J. W. Bosse and daughter, Le- ■ ona, were Fort Wayne visitors SaturJ day afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gentis spent Sun- | day in Fort Wayne with Mr. and Mrs. I A. Furthmiller. The increased cost of provisions will I have a tendency to revive the ancient I custom of living. The happiest man of all is the one | who has the most habits, and keeps [ them under the best control. Every man expects to wake up some day and find himself famous —he usually gets as far as the waking up part. Mr. and Mrs. D. I. Weikel and children went to Fort Wayne this morning. Mrs. Weikel will visit with her sister, Mrs. Wilson Miller, and family.
