A banquet at the Denison on Thursday evening, with a number of excellent speakers, including Governor "Major of Missouri. J. A. M. Adair and L. B.

At this season of the year it should be remepibered that unless care *is < used our splendid roads may be dam- < aged to an extent that would cost * thousands of dollars for repair. The road superintendent cannot do it t alone. He should have your assistance. Don’t haul heavy loads over I the roads when they are soft and more than that report the fellow who does. The roads cost large sums of money and the more they are torn up by heavy loads the more it is going to cost to repair them. It pays to save J just as much as it pays to earn. --- ■ 1 President Wilson was eminently ■ wise in his decision to take his plans 1 directly to the people for explanation and endorsement. Wherever he has gone he has been received with tremendous enthusiasm, and universal I comment is favorable to the measures C he has put before congress. President Wilson goes before the people not as a partisan, but as a patriot, the president of all the people, opens s his heart to them, takes them into , his confidence, and shows them that j his whole aim is for the protection. I defense, prosperity and peace of the ? nation. Their approval of his course f a has beqn whole-souled am, spontau- Q eous. His measures are bound.to win, ( for the people are with him, and 1 when the people of the nation wills, € the work is done. —Logansport ( Pharos-Reporter. t - — ~ c In the death of P. A. Randall Fort , Wayne loses a wonderful man, one c who has devoted a life-time and a big c brain and willing heart to helping his ( community and the people therein. f He is described as a lawyer, a home ( builder, the father of the lake to lake f canal enterprise, a tireless worker for 1 everything that was for the advance- < ment of Fort Wayne’s interests. What f more could be said. He has lived 5 well and he did much for northeastern ' Indiana. In 1895 he was chairman of £ the committee in charge of the Cen- j tennial celebration and when it was ( finished personally paid all unpaid j bills, thought it cost him $7,000. He 1 founded a bank, started the Commer- 1 cial club, opened the home building J enterprise in his home city, boosted 1

St. Valentine's day breathed its spirit into the decorations of the parlor and dining room at the Knights of Pythias home yesterday, when the Pythian Needle club with twelve guests, making an assembly of about forty ladies, brought their sewing and crocheting and had a pleasant afternoon, entertained by Mrs. Ollie Chronister, Mrs. Frank Carroll. Mrs. Earl Butler and Mrs. Dallas Hunsicker. In the parlor the window alcove was festooned with strings of red hearts and arrows and ribbons. The dining room tables were arranged in circle around the center table which was decorated with a white basket of flowers, reposing on handsome doily centerpieces, over which runners of red hearts and ribbons ran and hung from the table in streamer style. The place cards were parts of cut Valentine post cards and the guests found their places by matching them with the part of card which they drew prior to going to the dining room. The luncheon consisted of meat loaf in lettuce, garnished with jelly; baked beans, garnished with red beets in forms, olives, bread and butter sandwiches tied with red ribbons, sweet sandwiches, cake and mixed fruits and coffee. With the club members were the following guests: Mrs. Martin Miller, Mrs. Ed Miller, Mrs. Ralph Miller, Mrs. John Bieneke, Mrs. Ed Ahr, Mrs. O. L. Burgener, Mrs. E. W. Johnson, Mrs. W. E. Smith, Mrs. Martha Spuller, Mrs. Orval Harruff, Mrs. Ed France,

1 Pleasant Mills; Mrs. Fred Bandtell. I Fort Wayne. Earl Reber and Mrs. Cora Wilder i were quietly married Saturday after--1 noon nt the home of the Rev. John Phillis at Monroe. W. J. McCague and Leland Frank were initiated into the Rebekah lodge last evening. Following the initiation, the Three Links' club was entertained at luncheon by Misses Gusta Cramer, Pearl Purdy, Mrs. Owen Davis and Mrs. Leland Franks. The banns of the coming wedding . of Miss Mary Heimann, daughter of Joseph Heimann, of south of the city, to Leo Lengerich, to take place in the near future, have been announced at the St. Mary’s Catholic church. I The young people are excellent young people, and prominent in their community. The Catholic Indies of Columbus met at the K. of C. hall last evening ■ and on account of the illnes of botli the president and vice-president, M ! ss Agnes Costello wiio is recording secretary, presided. The regular routine business was carried through. Miss Ramona Smith entertained her Snuday school class of the Methodist church, taught by Miss Cecil Andrews last evening. After the business period the Misses Cecil and Celia Andrews furnished the music and the hostess served a tempting lunch. There were two papers for the Tri Kappas last evening at the home of Miss Betty Boyers. Mrs. Albert Sellemeyer had one relating to the power of conscience, and was based upon Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter.” Mrs. Oscar Hoffman had the other, on “Light House Systems of the World.” Plans were discussed relating to the raising of money for their charity work and it was decided to give a_ dance sometime in March. Miss Frances Cole will be hostess an two weeks. The Progressive Sunday school class of the Presbyterian church will hold its first meeting of the year next Monday evening at the manse, when Mrs. J. C. Hanna will entertain. The Young Woman's Missionary society of the Reformed church met at the parsonage last evening and with Miss Ella Mutchler leader a study of the mission in India was made. Miss Lydia Kirsch will be leader at next month's meeting. / Somewhat Misunderstood. In announcing that a pertain Connecticut town intended to Increase its water supply the local weekly contained the information that It would "build a watershed covering 50 acres.” One of the town officials, a building contractor, who naturally favored the "shed,” was severely criticized by a fellow townsman thusly: “’Twill be a tarnation shame, by heck, es Ezekial Billin’s gits the job of puttir a shed over 50 acres of water. I’m ag’in it, tooth an’ nail. Zeke’s got sufficient outen the town already.” Giddy Amusement. A young working class mother was overheard proposing fresh entertainment to a family party consisting of three or four children and a grown-up Bister. "Come on,” she said, "and I’ll take you to see your grandma's grave.” “I don’t see much in that,” dissented her sister. “Well,” replied the mother, thoughtfully, "I’d rather see a grave than a wedding. Do you know that’s the end of It.” —Manchester Guardian. ————— •' A Circular Tour. Mary had a little ring, ’twas given her by Joe, and everywhere that Mary went that ring was sure to go. She took the ring with her one day, when she went out to tea, where she might show it to the girls, who numbered twenty-three. And when the girls all saw the ring they made a great ado, exclaiming with one voice: “Has it at last got round to you?” Man Who Struck Oil First. How many Americans recall the name of Edwin L. Drake? He was said to hove been a conductor on the New Haven railroad 55 years ago. Then he was employed at Oil Creek, Pa., to drill a well for oil, and on August 27, 1859, his work was done and his well went down in history as the first ever drilled for oil in the United Statec. —Leslie’s. Considering the Ant. A sapper of effectiveness is the habit of thinking ourselves busy, says the Nevada Post. Its confusion of thought is a certain preventive of accomplishment The ant which frantically runs up a grass stem and then runs down again is doubtless racking his nervous system with the idea that he is busy, but he is gathering no food for the colony. Old Peace Treaty. A copy of the official declaration of peace between England and the United Netherlands, of 1657, was recently sold in London, together with other proclamations, pamphlets, broadsides and news sheets. The pamphlet brought S2BO. This was the treaty • which gave New York to England.

1 Lenient British Judge*. I It Is a noteworthy fact that during his 50 years' practice at the English bar, Sir Edward Clarke was never instrumental in securing a death penalr ty, unless an argument against a pris--1 oner before the privy council on a colonial appeal be so described. Eten .' more remarkable, perhaps, is the record of two Irish judges, Baron Fltzger3 aid, who was on the bench for 20 years and never once pronounced a capital sentence, and Lord Morris, who pat for 22 years and never hanged a criminal. / i [ Clipped Rugs ty a New Process. j Consul Homer M. Byington of Leeds } writes that clipped rugs which for . many years, heretofore, have been ’ made by hand In Yorkshire, are now proposed to be made by a new prock ess, whereby they can be turned out by machinery at the rate of sixty to seventy per hour, and a syndicate is 1 reported to contemplate starting a rug1 making Industry In some town nearer to the center of the West Riding of Yorkshire. 1 Instill Justice. r Justice Is the great principle of the t business and social world, and you will be rendering one of the greatest possible services to your child If you Implant It within his soul as a young ' child. By this same principle of Justice he will not only learn later what Is due to his fellows, and how to grant , It, but will also know what Is due to 1 himself, and how to exact It. k Thinkers. "Men of thought” are the thinkers, the creators of ideas, the men who furnish the inspirations and theories, while "men of action” are the workers, - who carry out the plans furnished by the others. Sometimes the two are ’ combined in one, as in the case of Napoleon, Caeear, Da Vinci, who were at one and the same time great In both theory and practice. ■ .1.11 - t Whispering Galleries. Famous whispering galleries are , those in the capltol at Washington and In Gloucester cathedral, England. In the former, persons standing 65 feet apart may distinctly hear each J other speaking In whispers, and In I the la’tter, the gallery, which is octagonal in form, conveys a whisper across the nave, a distance of 75 feet. —Pathfinder. Had Become Calloused. "Does my practicing make you nervous?" asked the man who Is learning to play the bugle for the territorials. "It did when I first heard the neighbors discussing It,” replied the sympathetic person. “But now I'm getting so I don’t care what happens to you.”—London Opinion. About the Nightingale. It is said that few birds lend themselves to captivity so readily as the nightingale. To be sure, they should be confined In an aviary or a large i outdoor cage. The story is told of one nightingale which never sang again after it went from its old owner to a new ope. A Pig’s Tail. There is a proverb that "you can’t make a whistle but of a pig's tall,” but i Popular Mechanics tells of a man - who has made one. He allowed the > tail to harden and"then carved out a whistle which gave as good a tone as any. k Truth. Truth itself, according to Locke's ’ fine saying, will not profit us so long l as she is but held in the hand and ' taken upon trust from other minds, not wooed and won and wedded by our own.—George Eliot. Classic Features. s “From the way you are staring at B me, madame, I conclude I look like j some one you know.” “So you do. You remind me»so much of my dear old English bull terrier.” —Baltimore American. — ' Sheep and Human Beings. ‘‘ Sheep will follow an old bell-wether ■ through an opening in the fence in i. regular order, but human beings all want to get on the street car at the same time.—Toledo Blade. if The Destructive Auto. s An increase in parasitical diseases e among poultry and game birds in Enga land is attributed to the distribution of ddst through air by automobiles.— , Houston Post. Daily Thought. The words we speak and the things we do today may seem to be lost, but e in the great final revealing the small, s- est of them will appear.—Lowell, e . ~ g e Not At All. When the wind propels a hat it is ’ chased, but the remarks of the owner e are nothing that even sounds like that. Franklin on War. « Mad wars destroy in one year the « works of many years of peace. *• Franklin. ik !• *• Daily Optimistic Thought. He gains enough who is rid of a I sorrow.
