Entered at the Poatofflce tn Decatur, ndiana, as second-class matter. Every city which is ginving a centennial celebration this year in Indiana is alive and bustling which is but further proof that it pays to hustle. People like the towns which show a spirit of doing things. I' fifty Decatur business men would get together and each make an effort to secure some industry that would employ one or more men and keep it up for a year, there would be an en entirely different condition here. J et's. Fort Wayne got the *300.000 for a Y. M. C. A. building so easy that they are now considering going right on to the *400.000 mark. The finish to the campaign as originally planned was expected to be reached by noon today, a wonderful record sure enough. And while they are suggesting W. J. Bryan as a possible candidate for president on the prohibition ticket, 1 ey should renjember that he has always been a democrat, that he believes in the principles advocated by that party and has always stood for them through thick and thin and that he is not likely to take up with any new party at his age. He is neither a Roosevelt or a Hanly. Uncle Charley Fairbanks' lawn pink teas seem to have had the expected effect on the delegates and the boosters for his candidacy* Uncle Charley is a good advertiser and he is conducting his exploitation bureau along much the same lines as Teddy, only Teddy is not “throwing” any pink teas. There was one thing that Charley’s managers forgot this year. They left out buttermilk at the social functions.—Hartford City News. The people of Adams county and this city who believe that the securing of another railroad line through here would be a good thing must get busy if they want to land it. Meetings have already been held at Van Wert and Venedocia, locking toward : ecuring the line that way. They recognize the fact that it would help business in many ways and they will strive to their best to secure it. Every public spirited citizen here should be up on his toes and help all he can to secure this new railroad. SPORT SHIRTS Plain cream, white and fancies in the latest patterns, SI.OO.

"Hence it is that almost a definition of a gentleman to say he is one who never inflicts pain. The true gentleman carefully avoids whatever may cause a jar or a jolt in the minds of those with whom he is cast —all clashing of opinion, or collision of feeling, all restraint or suspicion or gloom or resentment; his great concern being to make everyone at their ease and at home. He has his eyes on all his company; he is tender toward the bashful, gentle toward the distant, and merciful toward the absurd: he can recollect to whom he is speaking; he guards against unreasonable allusions or topics which may irritate; he is seldom prominent in conversation, and never wearisome. He makes light of favors while he does them, and seems to be receiving when he is conferring. He never speaks of himself except when compelled, never defends himself by a mere retort. He has no ears for slander or gossip, js scrupulous in imputing motives to those .. who interfere with him. and interprets everything for the best. He is never mean or little in bis disputes, never takes unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp sayings for arguments, or insinuates evil which he dare not say out.” —Cardinal Newman.
