Western headquarters at Indianapolis now seems assured and from there the west will be looked after. The Indiana campaign will be short and sweet but it will te hot enough to make up for its shortness The announcement is made from Indianapolis that the reason Fairbanks does not resign is, he is not going to take any chances. Mere he to resign and be defeated for vice-president the democrats would capture two senators in the state; but if he hangs onancFis defeated for vice-president, he will have four more years in the senate. This is an admission upon the part of Fairbanks and his friends that they regard the state as doubtful.—Columbia City Post Thirty laborers from tty* Standard Oil company arrived today from Lima. Ohio, to work on the line that runs north of our city. All were armed with picks and shovels.

THE OSSETINIANS. A Rate of the (iiuvaimt Mountain* With u Georgian Dialect. In the l: parts of the Caucasus I mountains, around the Kas. !< region, there is a tribe, very tail and handsome, which speaks its own peculiar dialect of the Georgian language and , has its own peculiar customs, differing in many ways from those of the 1 ; Ts< herk< s-i's, Armenians. Circassians and other tribes that dwell in the same country. It is the tribe of the Ossetiu- ' lans. Like the rest of the Caucasus tribes, •j they have recognized Russia’s authority. But they adhere to the claim that • they are not descended from Asiatic races, like the other tribes, but that their ancestors were German knights who had gone to the crusades and who. after the disastrous end of the last crusade, had been driven into the wild valleys of the Caucasus, whence it was impossible for them to win their way out and homeward owing to the vigilance of the Moslem foe. So at last they settled down and took wives among the Caucasus mountain women. , who have always been noted for their ' beauty. It is a strange fact that the Ossetinians understand the science of brewing malt liquors, and they are the only ■ ones who drink beer, the other tribes i preferring Asiatic liquors. THE WORD LIVERY. — It Originally Meant Something Delivered or Freely- Given. Our word livery is derived, through the French, from the Latin liberate, to deliver. Hence a livery originally meant something delivered or freely given, and came to be applied to an I allowance of food or clothes. From Norman times an English nobleman allotted a fixed “livery” cf bread, wine and candles to his servants for their private use. A remnant of this system still survives at Oxford and Cambridge, where the fellows of a ' college are entitled to a daily allow- ! ance of food called “commons.” An allowance of provender for a horse was also called a livery, and a horse fed and groomed for its owner at a fixed charge was said to be "at , livery.” In the middle ages “livery” was worn by any one who was in any sense in the service of another of superior tank ! or station. The trading companies of the city of i London used to provide a special attire i for their freemen, who became known as liverymen, a title which they still retain. CIRCULATING LIBRARIES. They Were Started by the Stationers of the Middle Aicen. The earliest form of circulating library was the lending out of books for hire by stationers of the middle ages, but this was of very limited extent. In the reign of Henry IV. Richard of Bury, bishop of Durham. left his valuable library for the use of Oxford students. Two provisions are very practical, one being that no book was to go into circulation unless there was a duplicate: the other, that the borrower had to deposit security exceeding the value of the book. Dunfermline, Scotland, established the first proper library of this description in 1711. Edinburgh following in 1725 with one founded by Allen Ramsay. The first public one in England was established in Salisbury by a clergyman, Fancourt, in 1740. This failed to survive, but others in Rath, and at London in the Strand, succeeded in becoming popular. Many London scientific societies established circulating libraries in the eighteenth century, and in the nineteenth they became far more widely spread.—London Globe. Old Maids. The true “old maid,” like the true poet, is born, not made, old maldishness being a question of innate character rather than of incidental condition. There are old maids of every , state and age and sex. says Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler, creatures who revel in fuss, and batten upon detail, and abide in the narrowest of narrow ruts. Do we not all know married women with large families who are, nevertheless old maids to the backbone. just as we know adorable elderly spinsters who have the minds of girls and the hearts of mothers? And do we not also know numbers of the (so called) stronger sex whose absorption in trifles and avidity for gossip proclaim them old maids of the purest water? A Man to Uodge. “Look at Baker, out on a day like this without an umbrella. Is he crazy ?” “I'm afraid he Is. Let's hurry on. I don't want to meet him.” | “Why not?” “He may recognize this umbrella. It’s his.” Amons Them. Clara-Do you know. Maud, Mr. j Smithers paid me a great compliment last night? “No. What did te say?” • He s tid I was among the prettiest girls nt the party.” “Yea, I noticed you were among them.” A I«aat Resort.
