K's all right t’ have a few ideas of your own. but there’s such a thing as bein’ so blamed original that you’re alone in a crowd. Next t’ takin’ a peach stain out of a white vest th’ hardest thing is t’ be pleasant an’ chatty after payin' a sewer assessment.—Abe Martin.

Mrs. Glen Glancy of Monroe arrived this morning for a visit. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Spuller of near Monroe went to Fort Wayne today. Mrs. B. E. Weaver arrived from Ft. Wayne for a visit with her parents. Carlisle Flanders continues to improve and i> believed to be practically out of danger. Banker W. A. Lower is suffering from a felon on the index finger of his right hand. Joseph Lower, who has been ill for two months with Bright’s disease, is still very low, gradually growing weaker. John H. Myers of the Hotel Murray. who has been on the sick list for a week or two, is better and is able to be up. Miss Mae Babcock of Ft. WaVne is here for a visit with friends, making her headquarters at the Walton Johnson home. • Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox and son Heuber of Dayton stopped at the Madison hotel over night on their way home from Petoskey, Mich. Mrs. O. L. Vance fell two-thirds of the way down the stairs at her home on North Second street last evening. She received an ugly scratch on her right arm which came in contact with the cuckoo clock, and is feeling the bruises today, but considers herself very lucky. Miss Lydia Miller, who for nearly six years has been a very capable saleslady at the Fullenkamp store, wil close her services there this evening, resigning to prepare for her approaching marriage which takes place next month. She will be succeeded by Miss Margaret Weidler. who begins duty at the store next Monday morning.

Dr. J. C. Grandstaff of Preble was a business visitor here today. Alex Sutton was assisting at the Charlie Voglewede shoe store todav. A lot of women think it is wicked to play poker. And it is—the way they play it. Nowadays a woman's shoe isn't stylish unless the heels are longer than the toes. Fred Reed returned to Convoy, 0., this afternoon after a visit here to the physician's for cancer treatment. A single man thinks there are only ten commandments. But a married man knows there are about ten thousand of them. The oftener a woman gets married the more surprised she is to discover that it is altogether different from what she expected. Ray Smith, mail carrier on rural route 8, is off duty, being ill of symptoms of typhoid fever. Lloyd Archer is working in his place. P. J. Hyland who has the contra: t for installing the heating plant in the Schafer block has a force of men at work on the big job, which by the way is to be completed by October the 16th. When an erroneous statement gets into a newspaper the Hammer club gets mighty busy. But if you are always as careful what you say as the newspapers are you won’t get into much trouble. A man can be so modest that he won’t even hum when he is sober. But give him a dozen drinks of tanglefoot and he will not only imagine he can sing but will insist upon believing that you are from Missouri. Several parties are talking park again and it has been suggested that some improvements at the old cemetery near the Clover Leaf station could be made at a small cost, that would : add much to the appearance of that part of the city.

The champion stenographer pulled off about 200 words a mine at a recent contest. But she was a mere piker compared with any hero in a moving picture drama. These lads can write a four page letter before they get the pen on the paper. Miss Bertha Schultz, who has been ill since last Saturday, having suffered six hemorrhages of the lungs since then, is resting better and her physicians think that the outcome will not be serious. Miss Schultz is a daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. Henry Schultz and was graduated from the Decatur high school last spring. The thunder storm this morning was the most severe in several weeks and one of the worst ones of the year. The rain fell in torrents, flooding the streets and backing up in many of the cellars. The storm seems to have been general heavy rains being reported from Bluffton, Huntington, and other places. The automobile races at the Adams county fair are to be held on Tuesday instead of Saturday as was previously anonunced. Mr. Morross will bring to this city a dozen or more of the worlds greatest speed king* and the attraction promises to be one of the big ones of the week. There are four big days. Remember the auto races are on Tuesday. D. W. Griffith, the most successful moving picture manager in the world, is quoted as follows in the October Woman's Home Companion: ‘"Large eyes, curls and dimples will make a doll, but not a motion picture actress. There must be expressed in the face that beautiful something we call soul, for the face is a delicate instrument upon which thb whole gaunt, of emotions is played, adagio, allegro, interpreting the sweetness and sorrows of life.’ ” Pleasing lines are incorporated in a new tractor biplane which has been built fqr an aviation school at North Island, San Diego, Cal. It mounts a 60 horse power motor which is capable of giving the craft a speed of sixty-five miles an hour when it is carrying three persons, and sufficient fuel to last two hours. It may be throttled down to thirty miles an hour with safety. With a full load it is able to climb at a rate of 400 feet a minute. The machine is quite similar to one type of craft which has recently been delivered at the army aeronautic station in California. A picture of the machine appears in the October Popular Mechanics Magazine. Dick Heller, one of the news boys who passes the Daily Democrat each evening, is willing to testify that tils' job is not all peaches and cream. Last evening while on the route he threw the naner up on the porch at the Phil Macklin home and the little black dog who guards the Macklin children tore at him like a lion, chased him across the street and nabbed him. tearing a rent in Dicks trousers a foot long and inflicting an ugly bruise. Dick was hurried to a physician where the bite was cauterized and dressed. Dick hasn’t figured out whether he will deliver Mack's paper by telephone or use a fish pole but he says he will get it there some how.
