Entered at the poslofllce in Decatur, Indiana, ns second-class matter. Tho I’.ed Cross campaign lias but just started. The ladies who are making the effort want to sell forty thousand of the little seals before Christmas. The start promises success and if each person will buy a few they will succeed. The money is to be used to fight tuberculosis and a part of it will be used right here at home. Why not help* Just now the various democratic papers of the state are expressing their opinions as to whether or not the democratic legislature should enact a state-wide primary as promised in their platform. If the result in Marion county and others over the state are to be taken as an example it is a question that should not need much discussion. In many states the law has proven a failure and those who favor the new law should produce reasons rather than opia ions. In today’s issue appears the complete statement of the money collect ed for the purpose of sending cotton to the lied Cross society of Vienna for use on the battle fields. The contributions were given in the right spirit and not for show and the list is published at this time solely for the purpose of showing how much money was given and what was done with it. If any mistake has been made in the list, the committee will hold it a favor if you will call attention to it that it may be corrected. One of the questions of interest which will be discussed to consider able extent before tho legislature when it convenes in January will b the road laws. There is some disposition to repeal the three-mile road law. This law was enacted at a time when the various counties of the stat? nee I ed roads much worse than they nee<’ them now. Practically every mile o. the five hundred in Adams county has been built under this law. There are still many miles to be built and it seems as though the man who helped build ycur road has a right to the same means of getting a road past his farm, but if the people of the state wish the law repealed they should m?ke it known. The question will be discussed much during the next few months and you ought to think about ft some and let the law makers know what you think.

ALL THINGS SAFE THAT NIGHT Reason Why Th are Wae Nothing E» traordlnary About Man Recover* Ing Hie Lost Watch. When the snow fell thickeet on the flrat night of a atorni laat winter a Staten Island man got off the ferryboat at St. George and pulled out his gold watch to note the time, relates the Naw York Press. It fell from hia hand into a pile of snow. Ho searched for it, of course, but aa the wind was blowing a hurricane and he was numbed through he made up hia mind he would have to let It go. So he reluctantly trudged up the street The next day when he went down to tho ferry tho storm had abated somewhat and as he neared the particular pile of snow where he had dropped the watch he determined to have another lock. So he went to it. There was no mile a minute wind and no sleet in his face and hia body was warm after a good solid breakfast. He rummaged around for ten minutes or more and at last, to bis great joy, he saw the watch, somewhat dirty, but still In a first rate state of preservation. He was so overjoyed that he had to tell his luck to a policeman who had been watching his search curiously. “Oh, Is that what it was?” said the bluecoat. “And you're surprised? Well, you needn’t be. Can you name a man in the whole world who would have bothered looking for a watch last night? Why, anything you placed In snow would have been safe. I know men who didn't go home at all last night and they blamed it on the snow. And they didn't lose a smirch of their reputation. You couldn't lose anything last night.” MIRROR FOR DAINTY WOMAN May Be Held In the Mouth, Leaving Both Hands Free to Arrange the Back Hair. At last a woman may have both handc free to arrange her back hair as she looks in a mirror. This is made possible now by the Invention of a mirror which can be held in the mouth, thus reflecting the back of the head from the main mirror of the dressing «able. It is the invention of a Frenchman. Who has given so much thought to the elegancies of woman’s toilet as the French? This new mirror is broad, so as to give e. good general view sidewise, and, being fixed on a curved bar, stands well out from the face, so that there Is no strain on the eyes. At the bottom of the curved bar is the “bite,” not too large for dainty mouths and covered with batting, so -.s to be easily held without harming the teeth. Even the hygienic side of the use of this mirror has been considered, for a number of thick envelopes just fitting over the “bite” come with the mirror, so that you may lend it to your friend and neither she nor you fear any contagion.

Too Much Realism. One of the most successful productions at the “Old Vic” was a play—written without Dickens’ permission—round "Oliver Twist,” and banned by the lord chamberlain owing to the realistic way in which Bill Sikes murdered Nancy. His lordship’s jurlsdici cn did not extend to what were then called the “minor theaters,’ so the play was for many years a standing dish at the “Vic” and thrilled the galieryites with fierce emotions, no matter how many times they had seen it. Nancy was always dragged round the stage by her hair.” writes John Hollingshead, “and after this effort, Sikes always looked up defiantly at the gallery. He was always answered by one loud and fearful curse, yelled by the whole mass like a Handel festival cho rus. When Sikes seemed to dash Nancy’s brains out on the etage a thousand outraged voices, which sounded like ten thousand, filled the thoater and deafened the audience below.”—London Chronicle. Strange Extravagance. A witticism of James Hazen Hyde's is going the rounds of Palllard's, the Ritz, Ai menonville, and other fashionable resorts of Paris. A rich young Englishman, George Mitchell, paid, as everybody knows, a large sum for the privilege of being knocked out by Carpentier, the French champion. Mr. Hazen Hyde, who attended the combat, said, irs the battered Briton took the count: “Here’s a fine young fellow comes to Paris and pays $2,000 to have his face smashed by a boxer, when, for a hundredth part of the money, he could have it kissed by the prettiest girl at Maxim’s.” Rats at School. The managers of the West Hill infant schools at Epsom, England, are wrestling, but so far in vain, with a jolony of rats. Rat-catchers have spent nights tn the building waging war upon them, but they are still numerous. According to the schoolmistress, they peer out of the holes all round the room when the piano is played, and then come out and scamoer about until the music stops. The hildren have grown so used to them chat their appearance does not worry them. Climbing. “You folk are being taken up by so clety, aren’t you?” “Well, we don’t believe in bragging, but we know three ladies wjtp Newark Ngy. .
