The Increase asked' for averages about fifteen per cent of the wage. London, Eng., Dec. 3 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—That the house of Lords may weather the storm and remain in possession of its power to veto the radical legislature fostered by the house of Commons, is becoming the general belief today. Although the betting on the stock exchange today was 4 to 1 that the Liberal-Labor-Irish Alliance would be in a majority in the next house of commons, bets are that the majority will not be a big one. —o — -— A REBULAh TMI BOY "•is Susie— climbing trees sad feaeee, jumping ditches, wUtttng, always geeting scratches, sets, sprain*, brute**, bumps, burns ar seaUis.

sitlons in the gift of the speaker of the house of representatives in the sixty-second congress. It developed with the arrival of Indiana representatives on nearly every train, that Hoosiers are offering their services to man the house of representatives In did Indiana patriotism appear at higher tide. Conforming to the wishes of “the boys at home,” the twelve Indiana democratic representatlves-elect, will hold a conference soon td plan for a center rush for the pie counter. Finley H. Gray, representative4dect from the Sixth district, is expected here next week and the conference probably will be held then. The theory upon which the Indiana representatives are proceeding is the old one of “united we stand, divide we fall.” They believe that if they can unite on a policy and bunch their influence and votes they will be able to plant Indiana’s banner on the highest rampart of the patronage works. The coming representatives report that there are many willing souls in Indiana, who are ready to serve their country in minor positions under the new house of representatives, where the work is light and the pay considerable. These volunteers are hammering the representatives with letters and petitions. There are also, in addition to these, several men of distinction in the party who have won their spurs through effective party service who are now being put forward by their friends for the larger and more important positions in the house organization. Among these latter may be mentioned the following: For parliamentary clerk to the speaker, Mason J, Niblack of Vincennes, Ind. For clerk of the house, Mark Storen of Scottsburg, Ind. For postmaster of the house, William M. Moss of Linten, Ind. _ o- ■- — — ' THE QONBERVATIOW OF HAUKE'S RESOURCES Applies as well to our physical state as to material things. C. J.

I" A .2- -2.... J 1 THEACME I ERADICATOR By CORNELIUS BARRY Copyright, IM by American Preah . .. Association. , - ■■ — ’ “George,” said Mr. Skinner. “you're , an excellent young man. but you have ' i no business shrewdness about you. ■' When my giri marries Idon’t wish her to marry a" man who is liable to slip up on providing. 1 Wish her to have a husband who can make money. When I was your age my father gave me a thousand and told me to use It and my wits together. Out of that thousand I've made $20,000. No; I cEn't give you Gface. You're not sharp enough." “But I haven’t a father to give me >l,ooo,’’ said George. "1 haven’t a father at all" . “X’A-4;, “Well. George." said the other, ”I’ll tell you what I’ll do. J'U lend you a dollar. Come and see tue at the end of a year, and if I dud you've done well with it I’ll lend you a thousand. The dollar is only to try you without making any serious loss. The thousand will be “to set you up. Then if after another year you have made your thousand grow I'll, throw in Grace. 1 don’t mean that you must make something out of nothing, but you must come pretty near it.”. A A George took the dollar and his de* parture without making any further remark. “-"A. •‘Grace.’ said Mr. Skinber one day some months after this, “a man came into the office the other day and sold me a bottle of some stuff for getting grease out of clothes. I’ve spilled some gravy on my coat. You'll find the extractor in my bedroom closet. I wish you’d bring it and take out the gravy.’’ Grace brought a box containing a white paste and a small bottle. After reading the directions for application on the label she scraped some of the paste on to the grease spot on her father’s coat, poured some of the liquid from the bottle on to the paste and rubbed It with a cloth. The mixture formed a frothy substance, which, on further application of the liquid, was easily rubbed away. But the grease spot remained. It occurred to Mr. Skinner that be had been done by the man who had ■old him the grease eradicator. Nothing in the world Irritated -the eld gentleman so much as to find a man ■harper than himself. “Acme Grease Eradicator!" he exclaimed contemptuously, reading from the label. “I’ll bet It is a swindle, and if it is I’ll go for the company that sells it I’ll have Ben Humlston analyze it" Humlston was a young chemist and Mr. Skinner's nephew. ’ A few days later the analysis came In. It was this: “Soap and water.” “Soap and waterrbh! 1 reckon I can get a few thousand for keeping still anyway,” remarked the old gentleman. and. sending for his lawyer, be commissioned him to see the Acme Grease Eradicator people and find out what they were willing to give for keeping their secret The attorney did so and reported that the company were now using a different eradicator. that they would pay nothing for secrecy and were too rich for Mr. Skinner to punish. They were turning out tons of their eradlcators .daily, and it was sold tn every city, town and hamlet in the country. A few weeks after thlr his daughter reminded blm that the year he had accorded her lover to make the dollar he had given him sprout was about to expire. Mr. Skinner remerited contemptuously that the dollar had doubtless long ago gorie for cigarettes. That evening George called and tendered the loaned dollar. “Well, George,” remarked the lender, *T confess 1 never expected to see it again.” “You said, Mr. Skinner, that if I made it grow you’d lend me a thousand and if 1 made that grow you’d give me Grace.” “So I did. boy. Well, what have you done with it?” “Made a million." “A million grains of sand? “A million dollars.” Without regarding Mr. Skinner’s puzzled look George told his story. With the dollar he had received he bought two cakes of whits soap for 5 cents each. The soap he cut into candles and ran a wiek through each candle. Five cents more be Invested in a bot-tle-and. filled it with pure water. Fifty cents more went for a table. Then be went to a clrcus and began to take grease spots off the clothes of the people outside the show. The spots be made himself by spilling his . “candle grease” on the clothes, and on the application of water resulting soapsuds washed It out Such a demand was made for the grease eradicator that dozens of boxes could have been sold If they bad been on hand to sell But George took a partner and the next night did a good business.” “What did you call it?” asked Mr. Skinner eagerly. “The Acme Grease Eradicator.” “Bold!" exclaimed the old man. “We are now selling a real eradi- ' cator on the demand worked up with the soap and water, and a million wouldn’t buy the plant and the business.” i It took Mr. Skinner a long while to . awake from the stupor occasioned by his wonder, a long while to realize that i George-was the Acme Grease Bradlcator company and still longer to- realize that he was not dreaming. Then . h« said; . ■. l ’ "George. you’r» a ruor. You may bav« Grace." i

( Indianapolis, ma,, Dec. 3—The Indiana State Trustees’ association has just drafted a township 'bill to be presented at the next session of the general assembly which,lf passed, will divide the 1, M6 tawnihlp. o'Xlta into seven classes, similar to the classification of the cities and towns Aeig| and provide for fixed salaries for township trustees for all classes ex- ; cept the seventh, a per diem salary 1 being allowed the latter. The bill abolishes the township advisory board, provides for the appointment of road supervisors by the trustees, ’ the employment of office help in the larger townships, repe&ls the law requiring appropriations for public expenditures and gives the trustees the power to fix the tax levy, appeal to the board of county commissioners. The bill was drafted-by Henry Boyfriend, an Indianapolis lawyer, and was approved yesterday by a sub-com-mittee of the legislative committee of the State Trustees’ association. Chas. Pittenger of Muncie, president of the Trustees’ association, is chairman of the subcommittee. The other members of the subcommittee which approved the bill are John C. Becker of . Hammond, secretary of the Indiana State Trustees' association; E. T. Lloyd, prairie Creek, vice president, itofiHenry L. Brown, Wanamaker, treasurer.Plan Joint Conference. | The bill wfll be presented at the meeting of the trustees December 6th | to Bth in Indianapolis for final approval. Minor changes may be made, but in the main the bill will stand as drawn, it is said. The salaries to be ( paid trustees in the six classes of ' townships are not included in the present draft of the bill. The amounts are left Mank and probably will not be written into the bill until near the time of the meeting of the state legislature. '.'
