This is a queer old world. A threering circus evangelist can gain fame and wealth by bragging about what an onrney pup he used to be. But T another man tried it he would be boy cotted. —Luke McLuke.

A Christmas doll for every child in South Bend, whose parents cannot afford such luxury, is the promise made to South Bend’s little folk by Mrs. Frank D. Hager, society woman, who has interested her friends in the scheme. Luke Mac Luke says, "If he helps her off with her coat when they enter a theater and holds it for her during the show, they are single. If she hauls her own coat off and hangs it on the back of the chair, they are married.” Rev. I. Imler, formerly of this city, now pastor of the United Brethren church at Frankfort, Ind., was the ■ guest of his son here over night, en- . route home from Ossian, where he t conducted the funeral services for the wife of Rev. Wilgus. Wandering in a spell of apparent delirium into the wine cellar of his father-in-law, Charles Deadlow, 4.3, , of Laporte, drank three quarts of , wine. The liquor crazed him and he was taken to a hospital frothing at the mouth, where he died in intense agony. Among the game violators of last week was William Lung, of Mishawaka. taken for dynamiting fish in the St. Joseph river.

Mrs. Fred Heuer returned this morning from Fort Wayne, where sh' has been visiting with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Henry Heuer, and who recently underwent an operation at the I utheran hospital. Mrs. Heuer Is improving as rapidly as could be expected from such a serious ordeai. and her condition is favorable. The property owners in St. Joseph and Marshall counties are to be assessed between $50,000 and $75,000 for the building of a big ditch that will be of no benefit to them, but which is being ordered by the Marshall county circuit court on petition of William Stock, Edward Burke and five others, whose 1,200 acres of land near Lapez will be benefited exclusively. according to the contention of remonstrators which resulted in a mass meeting of protest at I Pikeville and Lapaz Wednesday. A little visit through the different business houses of the city and a talk with the merchants, which in every case results in the report that business has been exceptionally good far so early in the season, makes a fellow feel like this little old town is one of the greenest spots in the country. No better c ure for genuine case of blues could be found than a stroll through the stores and be greeted by the smiling faces of the employers and ( clerks and be jostled around a little i I by the merry throng of Christmas 1 shoppers. Every Red Cross Christmas seal tliat is sold is a real bullet in the fight against tuberculosis. These seals last year helped to support thousands of needy tuberculosis patients and to give them a chance for life. They provided form nay visiting nurses, whose hundreds of thousands of visits brought instruction and cheer to numerous patients. They helped maintain dispensaries in scores of cities, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, where thousands of. consumptive patients received free treatment. aid and advice. They provided the means to purchase millions of copies of circulars, pamphlets and other literature with which the .public has been educated about tuberculosis. They have established and helped to maintain more than 300 openair schools for children who need open-air treatment. There are just a few of the ways in which the $450,000 received last year was expended. This year a million dollars is needed. Surely any one can help by buying at least ten seals.

A MEASLY TRICK Played on Archie Smith —Laundry Delivery Sled Stolen, A measly trick was played on Archie Smith, when, after delivering a basket of laundry, as he had tin errand at the Baughman & Hayslip store, he left his sled outside the store door. When he came out of the store the sled was gone, and he. would like for the boy who took it to bring it back to him, or leave It nt the Democrat office, for he needs it to deliver laundry to those for whbm his mother washes. H,e Wows the party who was near when he went into the store. A word to the wise s sufficient. —Contributed. , . —-o— FUNERAL IS HELD.
