t No man can admit defeat gracefully. Robert Blackburn was a Ft. Wayne [ visitor today. Jesse Niblick was a business visitor in Fort Wayne. Fred Fullenkamp made a business trip to Fort Wayne this morning. Dr. E. J. McOscar of Fort Wayne was a business visitor in the city today. The man who is boss of his household is a bachelor who does his own work. A careful student is apt to boa great hardship to the rest of the class. While the church stands for peace, there frequently is a war department in the choir. Unless he pays for them, no man is greatly concerned about the floral decorations. The woman who marries a grouch husband is apt to be the most dangerous person. \ A leader of men is one who sees which way the crowd is going in time to get ahead of it. The woman who marries a grouch should demand a hero modal instead of a wedding ring. There is, you may have observe! less genuine maple syrup since the pure food law went into effect. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Peoples attended the funeral of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John Cline yesterday fternoc; 1 . at their home north of tlie city. The heavy snow which fell yesterday afternoon and last night made many a person work for his breakfast til’s morning. It's a good way to get an appetite.

When a man gets so old he can’t sleep much, he derives Some pleasure 4rom boasting about his early rising. Mrs. Andrew Welfley, who was ill and confined tq her bed last week, is better and is able to be up. Uw Merscher and William Ixishe and family of Coldwater, Ohio arrived in the city Saturday for a over Sunday visit in the city with relatives and friends. C. A. Neuensehwander of Berne wa» a business visitor here yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Shafer Peterson left yesterday morning for West Baden for treatment. The city council will nffeet in regular session tonight at the city hall apd transact whatever business that may come before them. The monthlyroll of bills will also be allowed. Mrs. Frank Hollopeter formerly cf Grabill, visited with her sister Mr?. John Scheimann. She left yesterday afternoon and will go to Texas where tlie family will make their future home. In connection with tlie business affairs to be conducted at the regular meeting of the Knights of Columhns last evening a Hot Dog supper Was enjoyed. Members also made a number of impromptu talks. Governor Ralston will speak at the opening of the new palace theater in Fort Wayne, the Fort Wayne Commercial club having invited him to make a short talk. An effort is being made to get Vice-President Marshal also. Dr. George W. Crile of Cleveland, one of the noted surgeons of the world, has gone to France with a corps of assistants and nurses to work in the American Ambulance hospital in Paris, for his ftffrie has spread around the world and he is recognized os one of the authorities. After having served for forty-four consecutive years in the Chicago postoffice, Miss Eugenia E. Griswold has been dropped from the rolls because she is unable to work any more because of old age. She is now 79 years of age and was known as “the mother of civil service.” The meeting called for last evening to discuss the proposed increase of passenger rates by the railroads, failed to materialize, there being but four citizens present during the evening, The bad weather, probably, had something to do with the small attendance and Jack of interest. Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Robinson of Winchester who have IJeen spend;ng a few days in the city with their sisters Mrs. Ben Miller and Mrs. Dallas Hunsicker left Sunday for Kalamazoo to meet their daughter Iris who is with the Flying Squadron of America, jliss Robinson was in Kalamazoo last week. A most enjoyable time was had last evening by the Knights of Columbus at their club rooms. A light supper was served and a number of talks made by some pf the members. Wed nesday evening there will be a stag progressive pinochle and rhum party. Every member is requested to come up. Free cigars will be passed. The sum paid out by the national government for pensions in the year 1914 will be nearly $5,000,000 less than in the proceeding year, owing, as one writer poetically puts it, to “the fading line of blue.” In other words death has claimed so many of the veterans that their combined pensions amount to $5,000,000. The government reports that the quail disease is depleting the covies of many sections of the country, and many of the birds believed to have frozen to death are now believed to have died of this disease. The disease is said to have originated from diseased birds imported from Mexico and the importation has been stopped by the government. The development of a severe case of smallpox at Portland and the exi posure of more than one hundred perI sons has caused the health officer to , order all churches, schools, picture | shows and other public gatherings ta cease until further orders. An agent who canvassed the city last week is now in a pest house at Winchester John Fox, a blacksmith, has the smallpox. Loyalty to country is sometimes carried to such extremes that it becomes ridiculous. About holiday time we heard one man call English walnuts, “Deitsche Walnuts,” refusing to recognize the hame “English.” “Petrograd,” instead of the old name "St. Petersburg,” has become the way of designating the Russian capital, the old “burg" savoring too much of Germany. An endeavor will be made next Monday by the Bell Telephone company to transmit a long distance call from New York to San Francisco, which, if successful, will break all records for long distance telephony. It will be a call made by direct connections and not by relays. It is for iho purpose of testing out new telephone appratus. In time these calls will probably be made regularly, with as much ease as one now talks from Chicago to New York.

There is quite a scramble on just now for tlie position of attendance officer, made vacant by the death of Caleb Andrews. More than a dozen men have their eye on the job and are doing the wire pulling necessary, as they see it. The Morris store has added improvement to the building, by removing the old trap-door entrance to the basement and making an open stairway. This does away with the moving of tables each time when goods are placed in the basement from drays at the rear. In the February Women’s Home Companion appears a page entitled “An Experience Meeting,” in which contributors speak frankly about card clubs. One woman explains in part as follows why slie does not belong to a card club: “As the card season draws near, I am invited every year to join a card club. My reasons for not joining I fee! are goc, 1 and sufficient ones. “Once starred on the game all play like mad. At the close of the afternoon refreshments ar served, and while partaking of them all relax to some extent except the hostess, who is on needles and pins as to whether the ‘eats’ are all right. During tire social hour there is a short time for exchange of thoughts and ideas—and the subject of these ideas? Almost without exception you will find is the game just finished. “I find life all too important and time too precious to give up one afternoon a week or even one in two weeks to that sort of card playing; for we as progressive women have ample opportunity to devote our time to something really worth while. o WANTED—One of the large magazine publishing houses desires, to employ an active man or woman in this community to handle a special plan which has proven unusually profitable.

STOLE _OVERCOAT Coat Belonging to Earl Ripley, High School Student, Taken from Hooks IN LIBRARY ENTRY Two Strangers, Who Spent an Hour in the Library Are Suspected. Earl Ripley, a high school student, had an overcoat stolen from the hooks in the vestibule of the public library last evening, between 7 and 8:10 o’clock. Two strangers, of a grimy appearance, somewhat on the order of tramps, who had spent an hour in the library, and who left before Mr. Ripley, are suspected. Neither were overcoats, and had a “hobo-looking" appearance. The po’Jce were called to the library to investigate. No other clothing was taken, although other apparel hung on the other side Os the hall. Mr. Ripley’s overcoat was a new one, having been worn not more than a month. This is the first incident of the kind that ever occurred at the library. _o "DOWN IN ALABAMA” A' SPLENDID PLAY . The Woman’s Civic Improvement society has arranged with J.
