Every democrat in the city should now show a preference for the dem ocratic ticket. It is time to begin active work to maintain the majority that belongs to the democratic party. This is not the year to split hairs, but it is a duty to loyally support the nominees and candidates of your party. Every participant in the democratic primary election owes his support to the nominees. Such was the agreement and understanding when you cast your ballot at the primary and your word then given should be carried out to the letter.

The election of the mayor and everv democratic candidate for councilman should be the battit cry. It is a good business proposition for every business man and property owner and the voter should not be misled by false issues raised with a view of electing a republican tj office.

The victory of Tom Taggart in the Indianapolis primaries is but another deserved tribute to an earnest party leader, a leader who has done more to keep the democratic ship of state on its proper moorings than any other one man. During all the “dark days" Tom Taggart was ever and always a

Mr. Goodheart—Regarding those kit tens, my dear, the president of our society says the most humane way to drown kittens is to put them in an ordinary earthen flowerpot and then suddenly turn the flowerpot upside down in n paU of lukewarm water. Mrs. Goodheart—Why. yes; that is a good idea—isn't it?—because you know there is a hole in the bottom of the flowerpot for the poor little things to breathe through. Approved of the Idea. Mr Ferguson (in wrath)—lf you’re going to bring n lot of club women to I this house to s(>end the day. you’ll ; have to entertain them yourself. I , I wash my bands of the whole affair.

The Consultation. “They have called two doctors in for consultation." “And do the doctors agree?” “I believe they have agreed upon the price ’’—Philadelphia Ledger. A tree that has been a hundred years growing can be cut down in a couple of hours, but it takes another hundred years to replace it

DROWNING IS QUICK. Mnn Cannot Live Under Water More Than Two Minutes. “The story frequently repea toil about prcfi'ssiomil divers who have been able to remain und- r water for over two minutes is silly,” said a doctor. "Nt. one can remain under water that long without drowning, whether he is t trained diver or not. At Navarino, where the sponge divers are reported to lie able to remain under water three and four minutes, tests were made recently and resulted in conclusively proving that none of them remained down as long as a minute and a half. Ninety seconds seems a very long time to tlie watcher on sliore. and it is about tlie limit of a diver's endurance under water. At Ceylon, where time tests were also made among tlie famous pearl divers, it was ascertained that few of them remained below tlie surface ns long ns a minute, and other tests made on the Red sea among the Arabs proved that a minute and a quarter was tlie longest they could endure without a fresh breath. “On the coast of England several years ngo a diver, a trained diver, one of tlie best on the coast, renowned for his endurance, went down and was pulled up so slowly when he gave the signal that he was under water about two minutes and five seconds. He was drawn out of the water insensible, with blood flowing from his nose and ears, and it was only after long and arduous work that his recovery from the effects of that two minute stay under water was assured. Drowning is a quick death. Even though the water

is kept out of the lungs, insensibility will ensue in one minute and complete unconsciousness in two. The stories of people who have been in the water five minutes being resuscitated are generally mistakes or untrue. A man could not be in the water five minutes without coming to the surface several times and be restored to life.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. HE MISSED THE BEARS. A Question That Hid President McKinley of a BeKKar. No one asking assistance was ever I turned away empty handed from the , McKinley door, and many were those , who applied. One day a rather old man, with every appearance of belonging to the species hobo, called and asked for aid. He was given a small ' sum of money and. evidently thinking I he had struck a soft spot, returned the following day and from then on went buck every few days until finally. on what proved to be bis last visit the president came out while he was 1 talking to a member of the household and. learning the man's errand, entered into conversation with him. The man stated. In reply to the president's question, that he was a naturalized American citizen, but was born in Switzerland. Tlie president asked if he had ever been in Berne, and he said he had lived there. The president then asked if he had ever seen the bears. This question rather stumped the old man. and he stammered | that he could not understand. The . president merely smiled and passed on. !

Now. ns every one who has any knowledge of Switzerland knows, the coat of arms of the city and state of Kerne is a bear, and in a pit in the center of the city a number of live bears have been kept for years out of memory and are likely to be so kept for years to come, frequent bequests having been made for their comfort and many thousand francs l>einc deposited in the banks of Berne for their maintenance. The old man. not knowing these facts, certainly could not have been from Berne and was a self convicted disciple of Ananias, and as he disappeared from the neighborhood it is to be supposed that some one must have shown him the joke.—Leslie’s Weekly. In Compariflon. “I don’t believe there is anything in the world hotter than a cup of chocolate!” “Ob. yes there is.” replied the wise guy. “The man who burns his tongue trying to drink it in a hurry.”—Cincinnati Times-Star.
