Managbr. £ REAL LIVE YEARLING Yesterday the Daily Democrat reached its first milestone and celebrated its first anniversary it was one year old. We feel free to boast that in that one year more has been accomplished for a country daily newspaper that has ever l>een accomplished before in the history of newspaper publishing. One year ago the Daily Democrat began its career against the perverse speculation of many people, and its failure would have been no surprise to these same people. Instead, its circulation within the limits of the city of Decatur, exceeds six hundred, and its total city and rural route circulation has passed the one thousand six hundred mark. <This phenomenal growth has far exceeded even the fondest dreams of the management, but it is real and genuine and it will tie a pleasure for us to show any advertiser the truth as to the number of our list, as well as the solid and substantial people who comprise it. We have no press room secrets, no gold bricks to work off cn an unsuspecting public, nothing in fact that we care to keep from those who want to know whether we are real or an imitation. Os course, we make no boast that the past year has been one continuous pathway of red

carnations and button-hole Ixxjuets. The fact is, we are battle scarred and have several crimps iu our bank account, but long ago the Daily Dem ocrat discarded the red ink aud is eating the bread of its own making, aud sleeping the sleep of the righteous. It will be our aim to continue it along the lines that has distinguished it during the first year and as a quiet tip to those merchants who have been trying to grow rich in the economy of advertising, we suggest that if it is business and trade you are after, you can only get it by continually advertising in the Daily Democrat. This is no idle boast. It costs money to advertise, but every dollar :hus spent comes back ten fold, and is a simple business proposition that no merchant can afford to dispute. As usual the Hon. Tom Taggart was one of the most sought after democrats at the Washington meeting of the National committee. It will thus be seen that abroad as well as at home the genial Tom is the . real thing. The democratic national convention goes to St. Louis the date being July 6. This time and place was i selected by the national committee ' in session at Washington. The' meeting was marked with a prevail j ing spirit of harmony and coming as it does from section and state influ* union, it speaks well for the future of democracy The signs of victory are apparent.

JOLLY SOCIETY I Bon Tons Still Enjoying Life i I , Cards, Luncheon and DincinS Furnish 1 Amusement for Members. The Bon Ton club met at the home of Miss Lillie Meibers last evening and to say it was a jolly meeting can hardly express it, as these girls certainly know how to entertain. This club being a little old fashioned and all members knowing all the tricks of playing |x>dro proceeded to have a battle for the prizes offered. Ten hot and fiercely contested games were played and on sinning up the games won the firsts wore awarded to Miss Maude Christen and Miss Bertha Dclninger while Odo Fullenkamp and Gertrude Bremerkamp. poor girls, had to content themselves with the boobies. After the prizes had been awarded and peace again I reigned Miss Lol lie proceeded to l furnish her guests with a fine repast - and all the dainties in season were -served. After all had partaken of ; the feast as this was the principal part of the program they all adjourned to the Catholic Benevolent Ijeague rooms and there danced until the wee hours of morning. The club will meet again next Tuesday evening at the home of I Miss Rose Tonnelier. Monroe Agent. Mr. Jonathan Burkhead has been appointed agent for the Daily and Weekly Democrat for Monroe and vicinity and is authorized to ■ take subscriptions and receive money. ts !

Jan., 13—Builetins here announce that war has I been declared between Russia and I Japan. A Whistler Picture Whistler was one day visited by a foreign artist, an old acquaintance, with whom Whistler bad not as yet quarreled. He was received with gen- | nine cordiality, and. artist-like, he ran round Ihe studio looking at everything. One small picture seemed to charm him especially, and he said, "Now, that is one of your good ones.” "Don’t look at it. dear boy,” said Whistler airily, “it's , not finished.” “Finished!” said the visitor. “Why. it is the most carefully finished picture of yours that 1 have ever seen.” "Don't look at it!” per--1 sisted Whistler. “You are doing injustice to yourself, you are doing injustice to my picture, and you are doing injustice to me!" The visitor looked bewildered, when Whistler, in a theatrical tone, cried out: “Stop! I ll finish it now!” Then lie procured a very small camel's hair brush, fixed it on a . long and slender handle, mixed a little speck of paint on his palette, dipped i the tip of his brush into it, aud then, standing oil from his picture and with 'he action of a fencer with his rapier, , lie lunged forward and touched the picture in one spot with his pigment. "Now it’s tinislusl,” said he. "Now you ' may look at it.” This was all highly dramatic, and indeed very well acted. I but. as in the case of some stage- plays, ■ tile final act of Whistler's performance proved to he an anticlimax. The foreign artist took his leave, but. finding ! that he had left bis umbrella behind him. called for it next day. The servant. recognizing him. told him that Mr. Whistler had gone out for the day, but invited him to go to the studio aud seek his umbrella. He went there and found it. but also,took the opportunity of having one more look at the picture ■ which had been "finished'' lor bis special benefit llie day before, and then I lie saw that tile little dub of wet paint ; which Whistler had so dramatically put on lie liad afterward scrupulously I wiped off again!—Frederick Keppel in The Render.
