The American constitution is no more good than a wooden battleship.” “You don't know America,” cried Menken in reply. “Why do you come here with your thank-God-I-ai i uot-as-other-men attitude, I am angered at your remarks and 1 resent your criticism.”

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt

Sore muscles, c hurley horses and bruises received in the Hicksville game, are gradually disappearing in the ranks of the Yellow Jackets and indications are that all will be in good condition for the game at Peru SatSi tiIOHI Pig Skin, in the Indianapolis News, has christened the Purdue Exponent, "The Explodent." The Exponent refused to write up the Purdue-Ohio Htate game last Saturday, leaving the space blank. It may explode again after the Purdue-Northwestern game next Saturday. Indications are that the lineup which faces Peru Saturday will be the strongest that the Yellow Jackets have presented this season. For which we are thankful, because the Tigers have their eyes on that conference cup, too. Bptler will have a fighting mad bunch of Irishmen to battle at South Bend Saturday. The Portland-Ft. Wayne Central game Saturday should be a close one. The Logansport-South Side game at Fort Wayne Saturday will have a bearing on the final standing in the Northern Indiana conference. South Side has won one game and lost one. while Logansport has lost three and won none. If Logan wins they will be lied with Huntington for the cellar, while if South Side wins Logansport will stand alone in the cellar. Our friend Ross Hurd at Huntington says: “Willie Punt, of Decatur, already knew that Huntington would be defeated by the Central Catholic high school of Fort Wayne by three touchdowns. He seems to have a good guesser but wait until the homecoining and then basketball. We wonder what his slogan will be then. Certainly not, “I told you so.” Coach Howard's gang are long way from being successful basket shooters.” All we have to say now, Ross, is “We’ll show you.” o Man Shoots Wife and Self Shelburn, Ind., Nov. 14.—Mrs. Mar liaret Wilkinson lay wounded in the county hospital today and her himband, Robert Wilkinson, a coal min er, was dead ’after a shooting affaii that ended an unsuccessful attempt to patch up their domestic difficulties. Wilkinson called at the home where his wife had been staying since their separation. They talked for a long time. Suddenly he drew a revolvi and shot her in the neck. Then h - turned the weapon on himself am', sent a bullet through his head. Was a Good Judge of Liquor "Since a young man 1 had a liking for liquor and was considered a pretty good judge of it at one time, but constant drinking gave me stomach trouble which became chronic. My stomach would have been a valuable addition to a gas factory. Doctors did not seem to relieve me. One day my druggist got me to try Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy, and I am now as good as new.” It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the ca tarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co., and good druggists everywhere.
