A runaway spilled Dewey Gallogly driver of the night bus, and a traveling man out in the street, yesterday morning about four o’clock as they were coining to the hotel from a train.

The. risk started at 20 to 1. but the turn of affairs in the Balkans drove it down. Most persons who have taken out policies on the Bulgarian’s head are Englishmen with business interests in the Balkans and Bulgaria. Their losses will be great, if Ferdinand retains his throne and they are preparing for the minimum loss. On the duration of the war Lloyd’s offer 10 to 1 that it will not last beyond December 1, 1916. A new risk like their Easter insurance against rain on new bonnets is the one wherein the soldier bets with Lloyd’s that he will not be killed. This risk, 8 to 1, against death is said to be heavily patronized.Comedians of ability and an author with the' dyed-in-the wool newspaper instinct! This is the combination which has made a big success out of Campbell B. Cassad’s song farce. ‘ “Don’t Lie to Your Wife,” which comes to the Bosse opera house on Thursday, December 2. Mr. Casad is a former newspaper man — a reporter and he drew all the incidents of this furiously funny farce from the everyday happenings that came to his attention while covering assignments for his paper. The complications such as a married man being caught in the midst of a party of much gayety with chorus girls, by his wife, ar extremely comical, as they are gradually unraveled, and they are handled in characteristic musical comedy style. The chorus is ay exceptionally pretty one and is said to be costumed in some very stunning gowns. BIG FOUR STRIKE? (United Press Service) Terre Haute. Dec. I,—(Special to Daily Democrat)—At the Big Four offices it was admitted this afternoon that there is serious talk of a walkout of 250 Big Four operators between St. Louis and Indianapolis.

> “THE SLIM PRINCESS." (With Apologies lo George Ade) 1 Count Malagaski wus a Turkish swell. He had two daughters, whom 1 he called his little Apples of Paradise. When they were ripe enough to pick, ■ the elder, Kalora, turned out to be a String Bean, while the yopnger, Jen- , eka, was a Puffy Quince. Every one who took a flash at Kalora said, “Poor Thing! She needs about two more Dippings in thick starch." For the Wise ones had decreed that only Roly Poly girls had a cinch on the Beauty Gallery. The Slim Ones were put in the Discard. They also handed out •an Ultimatum that the Younger Daughter couldn't listen to the Loh engrin until the Elder had been led away with a Halter. All the village swells raved about Jeneka and gave Kalora the Go-by. Jeneka saw her chances going glimmering and told her sister: "Maybe if you could work up just a little Gimp you could pick up a Dead One and get out the way of a real Stepper.” Popova, the slim .princess tutor, had saved up a Grouch against the Count. So he told the Princess to eat Pickles. She tried all the 57 different Varieties, and the only Effect they had was -to turn her
