MAJOR MENZIES FOR GOVERNOR

Indianapolis, Feb 1. — Maj. G. V. Menzies for governor. This is the latest slogan of influential Democrats here and the boom for the Mt. Vernon man lit.B already assumed large proportions. That he will be supported by hundreds of loyal Democrats all over the state it he will consent to the use of his name Is assumed already although the bixin: i. a brand new one and has little titre to grow But .Maj. Menzies is too prominent a tigtire in the politics of the state anti is too well known throughout surrounding states and the nation at large tc need much more than the mention of his name to bring out enthusiastic supporters for his cause. That he world make an ideal candidate is admitted even by men who favor other candidateWhether th • major will allow himself to be cajoled into making the race Is the question and about the only one that is worrying the men who are . booming him. It is known that he is not anxious to b< come a candidate <>n account of his business interests. Still he is the kind of a Democrat who never has teftiseti to undertake any task his nany asked and if the Democrats of the state express a preference for him to lead th< nglu this year no one has any do tig that he will gladly heed the call. One of the best tributes to Maj- Men came today from a Republican office holder in 'he stat . bouse who remarked that if the Democrats should nominate Menzies and write a conservative platform, with

the licpiil.lican* hiving only men of radical tendencies in one direction or other to ehooae het woen. the Ropubllcans would have the hardest fight of their lives to do anything in Indiana.

THE NAME MARY. At Ono Time It Wu« Practically a liar to Matrimony. M.iry as : Christian name was held in very sing’dar veneration timing the ! median.-.1 ages, and m some parts of Europe there existed a superstitious reluctatin' among men to marrying ant one who chanced to have been so cliria- ; tened. or the bride elect was at least re- ! quinsl to elmnge this name for some other <»f less suuctiiy. ; All Marys were nt one t n<* belie'e*. ' to be invested with extraordinary jh.wI ers tn eoniuH-ti-.m with the affairs o. i life. Bearing the same ’tame as the Blessed Virgin, they were considered ' worthy of more than common lonslderatioa. and their personal influence over their tebands esfieeiiilly was unusual; hence many men sought authoritative ordinances forbidding their wives to be known as Mary. Sovereigns, in some cases, dreading subjection to their partners, showed a mark♦h! distaste for Marys. Thus Alfonso IV. of Castile, when on the point of weddmg a Moorish maiden, made it a condition of the marI riage that at Per baptism, as a recent I conn rt to Christianity, she should not i tak“ tl.is name. In the articles settled I for the union of Ladlslas of Folar.d with Murie de Nevers there was a 1 clause which bound this princess to change her name to Aloysa. Casimir I. of I‘olaud, who married Mary, daughter of the Duke of Rttssii. reI quired of her a similar sacrifice to popular sentinu nt. rearson s Weekly.

RATS KNEW CAT WAS ABOUT Flic?

"For awhile the rats overran my place. At night there was no sm h thing as quiet around the house. They would scamper across the floor, bump uti ami down ti e steps and cut all kinds of capers. We '-eeitred it cat, and from the very time the cat apjieansl on the place the rats began to get seam'. "There is lathing curious about this fact in itself. But to my personal knowledge the rats have never seen the cat. The cat has remained on one floor ami the ra-smi annihcr. There has lieen no chasing ami no conflict between them; Now, I want to know how the rats know the eat is on the place. "Tli" inquiry his eausm’ me to in- I dulge the more interesting reths-tion. How far can a rat detect tiie presence of it cat by the sense of smi'lD Evi deutly at considerable distance.
