A on property and vacant lots, evprU|F erybody seems to know it. The fact that twenty-five or thirty handsome new dwellings are now being erected is further proof that this is a real progressive and growing city. Rumors of peace proposals are flying about and while the general public is hoping and praying they may become real, they have serious doubts' and will have to be shown. It is not likely that either side in the great European struggle would be ready to talk the kind of business that would mean a settlement of the issues. Former Governor Hanly of Indiana, in a lecture down east, recently, related an incident connected with a drunken man which determined him to abandon “political preferment” and consecrate his life to the cause of national prohibition. It is the impression hereabouts that the governor’s chance for political preferment was forever 10.-'t some time before the “consecration” took place.—Muncie Star. Ed Toner, progressive candidate for congress in 1912, and in the 1914 campaign was the progressive state chairman, has returned to the republican party from whence he came and there is much rejoicing, in the g. o. p. camp. Just why he returned to the old ship is bard to understand. Toner isn't a bad sort of a fellow, but if he was right in 1912 in leaving the republican party because he believed it to be wrong and became a progressive because he believed Its principles to be right, he must be wrong at this time in returning to the republican party, a party that has not changed one whit either in principles or lead-1 erslilp since 1912. And like other progressives that have returned to the mother party, Toner will have to take a back set while the Fairbanks, Goodriches, Watsons, et al. run the republican affairs of the state. The flop was a little grand stand on the part of Toner. It took place at a state meeting and Toner no doubt had it ail fixed up with the old crowd to deliver the progressive party back to the g. o. p bat he failed. Nobody followed his lead and a new state chairman was selected.—Portland Sun.

'*Ur'* n Ti.tot Was Satisfied. Agr* r uarming «tory is told of 'Hanot, great French painter. While in England on one occasion he painted a beautiful religious picture and, meeting a woman from Paris, asked her opinion of bis work. Characterizing it ns a work of real art, she gave a remarkably just and detailed appreciation of the various merits of the painting. "Are you satisfied?” asked a fiiead. The artist answered in the negative. He entirely repainted his picture, working night and day. When it was finished he sent for bls fair critic, who pronounced it admirable, and then «he remained silently admiring it With smiling criticism. “Are you satisfied ?' once more asked the friend. “No,” replied Tlssot as lie began work on the picture for the third time. When the lady saw the new painting she gazed at It for some moments with evident emotion and then, without a -word, sank softly to her knees and began to pray. “Are you satisfied now?' whispered the friend. “Yes,” answered TissoL What tho Diver Saw. While serving on a naval vessel stationed at China an old time seaman hnd an uncanny experience. He says; “Our ship's company had been ashore for a route march, and on returning one of our officers in stepping on the ship's gangway let his sword fall overboard. Being a diver, I was sent down to try and recover it, but as I touched the bottom I saw the corpse of a lady dressed in light material gradually rise from her resting place of mud. She faced me as naturally as if she had been a living person. The disturbing of the water by my descending had no doubt moved the body. It was a sight and also a fright—which I do not wish to experience again. The sword was eventually recovered by another diver, for I can assure you I made a record trip to the surface without seeking further.” — London Globe. A Smart Answer. The following episode took place in a country village in the north of England. One morning as a schoolmaster was proclaiming to his school he saw a penny. He picked it up, he placed the ;ienny in his pocket, and after the children had assembled in the school the schoolmaster said: “Hns any child lost any money?” After a few moments a small boy in the front of the class put up bis hand. “Well, Robert, what do you want?” usked the master. “Please, sir, I have lost a penny," replied the boy. “And where did you lose your penny, Robert?” inquired the master. “Please, sir, where you found it” Robert got the penny amid the laughter of the master and the whole class. —Philadelphia Record. Her Knowledge of Music. The names of musical compositions do not always convey the impression that is intended by their composers, as one listener discovered recently at a San Francisco concert. One woman was much interested in the music and sat as close to the orchestra as possible, attentively listening to every note. A popular air had just been played, it was a catchy, melodious bit of music and was received with warm applause. Immediately following It on the program was Dvorak’s “Humoresque.” and the attentive listener drew back in disgust. “Just think,” she said in tones loud enough to be heard by those near by—“just imagine playing something humorous after that other beautiful piece. It ought not to be allowed.”— Argonaut. Amateur Truce Makers. Toward the end of the last siege of Faris by the Germans in 1870-71, the custom grew up of observing an informal armistice of about an hour's duration at sundown, when the hungry citizens, or some of them nt ell events, used to come out and purchase sausages from the Prussians and Bavarians in the advanced trenches at about ten times their normal price. After awhile, however, the custom came to the knowledge of Von Moltke, who effectually and promptly put a stop to it by shooting some half dozen or more of the amateur truce makers. —Pearson's Weekly. An Easier Task. “Mamma, do you think it is true, as papa says, that teachers do not have to work as hard now as they did when he went to school?” “I expect it is." “What do you suppose the reason is?” "The teachers of today don’t have to teach your father.”—lfhffnlo News. Puzzling All Right. "It's a bit’ puzzling, Isn’t It?” said one man to another who was striving to hold on to his hat and his umbrella at the same time in a high wind. “Yes,” said the man accosted. “It's like a wall paper hanger with the hives."—Ladies’ Home Journal. Overhead Charges. The Boss—What’s this item on your expense account, “Overhead expenses, $47" The Traveling Salesman—That was an umbrella I bought—Philadelphia Bulletin. Quite So. “Longevity, after all, is largely a matter of diet.” “Indeed! I had the Impresston It was largely a matter of time.”—St Louis Times. it 4s our duty to do our best to brlght»n the lives of the people who live with is or are dependent on us.

You cannot rightly train one to an air ana manner except by making him the kind of a man of whom tlie air is the natural expression. Nature forever puts a premium on reality. What is done for effect is seen to be done for effect; what is done for love is felt to be done for love. A man inspires affection and honor because he was not lying in wait for these. The things of a man for which we visit him were done in the dark and the cojd.—Emerson.

It was firmly believed that tlie one who made the prettiest doll was

The condition of Miss Paulina Thieme, wh ounderwent an operation at the home of her father, Fred Thieme, who underwent an operation the month, is reported to be highly satisfactory. The attack came upon Miss Thieme very suddenly, and within thirty-six hours after the first symptoms it was pronounced a greatly developed case of gangrenous of the appendix. After the operation a large amount of granite pan scrapings were found and it is thought that this was the direct couse of the trouble. Miss Lillian Gerard is in charge of the case.
