Why is it that people look with bus- 1 picion on a man who is a good honest man Machine made war is not less cruel than the old-fashioned handmade kind. But sometimes if there wasn't love lat first sight there wouldn’t be any at all. Curiously enough an army flies when one of its wings has been shattered. Speaking of the right point of view, I we feel that it is about eiglit thousand miles to the scene of festivities. The next thing to go up may b? salt, because wife readers take such large pinches of it with the war news. D. I. Weikel, district manager for ; the Singer Sewing Machine company, left yesterday for Columbia City on business. Miss Bertha Wollert returned yesterday afternoon to Fort Wayne after a visit here with her uncle, George Weber, and family. The Misses Marie Connell and Ruth Patterson returned yesterday to Indianapolis,’ where they are attending Mrs. Blaker’s school.

Site s procured a costume of a devil that had been worn at a masquerade ball. The next time the erring spouse v -eeled home feeling happy she donned •he suit, stepped forward and said n sepulchral tones, "Come with me ’ —I am tlie devil.” The result rather (tartled her as the response came 1 quickly back, as follows: “Zas so?
