Entered at the Postoffice In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. They are making a great fuss at Grand Rapids about a fellow who is now ninety-seven years ojd and who lias not missed drinking a toddy or smoking his pipe any day in eightythree years. Well, what of it? Wouid he have been any older if he hid drank water or lost his pipe? The work of dredging Blue Creek ditch, for which the contract was recently let by the county commissioners, will soon be under way.—P. L. Now, would you mind telling us at just what session this improvement was considered by the board of commissioners and what the circuit court would have to do with a ditch contract let by the board of commissioners? We have had many able secretaries of state, but in almost every case the appointee also has been a leader in his party. Mr. lensing’s appointment is a departure from the established rule. He has ability and has had diplomatic experience, but is without political following. And for that reason his selection at tiiis time is better politics than would .have been the appointment of one of the wheelhorses of democracy.—lndianapolis Star. The three days’ co-operative sale of the Decatur merchants closed yesterday and was a most satisfactory one. The good weather preheated many from coming in from the country, for this has been a busy week for the farmers who are cultivating the fields after a several weeks’ growing period in which the weeds got a good start. But the sale was a good one at that, showed a progressive spirit on the part of the business men and was appreciated by the many customers. many of whom came from a long distance. The Decatur merchants should have these events more frequently. « The Fort Wayne News has already tried and convicted the men charge 1 with election frauds by the Marion county grand jury, admitting, however, that the real verdict will be different. The News, like some of those who have labored so diligently to secure these indictments, would probably enjoy seeing every man who voted the democrat ticket sent up for the rest of his natural life, and then

some. They say that of course a conviction will hardly be possible, yet the republicans have complete contr >1 of the court and the prosecuting officers and the democrat who gets away will do so tiecause he is absolutely innocent and because the people, regardless Os political affiliations, will not stand for wrongful persecutions even when it aids some other man or clique of men, politically.

From My Narrow ■O' Little Window THE HOOSIER OBSERVER Why Sigh For What Is Not? BBtSI

WHY SIGH FOR WHAT IS NOT? “We sigh for what is not,’' the poet mourns. But how much better it is, if in some things we can look at the positive side, and like the Pharisee, who has been hounded as a bad example in his line, be thankful for the things we have, thankful that “We are not as others." My little brother taught me the value of positive thanksgiving. I was sitting comfortably in a chair reading the other evening, and not.-1 a stillness from his corner of the nook that betokened something unusual. I looked up and caught his eye fixed on me with a thoughtful air. Presently he burst out: “Don’t you ever wish you were a man?” “A man, why?" 1 queried. “1 can-' not say tiiat I do. No, I am glad I am I a woman.”“Well,” he answered, “it seems to BERNE SELECTED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) also carrier honors for having the best uniformed delegation.

me you would get tired of wearing all that hair piled up on your head. And then don’t you get tired of combing it? It must take so long to do it." he said, running his fingers through his own short crop. "Why. it Isn’t even worth much,” he said, appraising It with an eye grown materialistic in his scourings for rags, bones, scrap iron, etc., that were bartered at Barney’s, the junk dealer, by the youthful fry. "Down here at Barney’s," he said, "it brings the lowest price, hair does.” And would you believe it, one of my rejoicings in being a woman, for a long time, has hinged upon the matter of hair. I always thought it would be such a nuisance to be a man and have to shave so often! And both of us have positive reasons for being thankful, he that bis I hair wasn’t long, and I that I needn't ' shave.
