FOR GOVERNOR George Cromer is Slated—Dunlap for Anderson Post Office. An Anderson newspaper that stood for Congressman Cromer during his last campaign for the nomination in the Eighth district, states that in due time Congressman Cromer will make it known that he desires to succeed J. Frank Hanley as governor of Indiana. It is also intimated that in order to make peace with the opposition in his own party in Madison county Morey M. Dunlap, who has twice opposed him as a candidate for the nomination may be appointed postmaster for Anderson on his recommendation. MADE THEM GUESS A Tramp Captured at Detroit Had a Fortune on Him. A day or two ago at Detriot the police arrested a tramp lounging I about the docks that proved to be a veritable bonanza when he was ■ stood up at the the station house and subjected to the frisking process. In his pockets were found 1,400 shares of mining stcok and! deeds to thirteen houses and lots in New York city. He had something like eleven dollars in money . in his clothes and the police are now edenavoring to find out where he got the stuff.

Discontent With Work. That there Is urich discontent with work among the so called middle classes in America is due in large part to the pampering of children, to the supplying of their natural and artificial wants and to the sentimental idea that “their day of toil will come soon enough.” In general, work is not a curse, but a blessing—a positive means of grace. One can hardly begin too early to impress upon children lessons of seif help by tasks appropriate to their age and forces and to beget in them scorn of idleness and of depend- j ence on others. To do this Is to make I them happy through the self respect . that comes with the realization of pow- | er and thus to approximate Tennyson’S goal of ißin, "Self reverence, self knowledge, self control.”—Century. Do It Xow, The following sentiment has been variously attributed to Stephen Grellet, Sir Rowland Hill, Edward Courte- [ aay and the Earl of Devon, and 1 Is said to have been inscribed upon the tombstone of the latter: “I expect to pass through this world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show or any good thing i can do to any fellow being, let me do it now. Let me not defer It nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” Premature Fatijcue. Wealthy American Father-in-law-Look here, count! I'm getting tired of paying your debts. Count Boyion de Bakkovisnek—So soon? Sare, you bas not paid ze half of ze debts yeti—Chicago Tribune. Must Go Abroad. “What makes you think they are rich Americans?” “Because they know so much more ■bout other countries than their own.” —Town Topics. Not In Ilin Line.

An Eaiy Teat. “I often wonder just what she thinks of me.” said the young married man “It is easy to find out,” said the elderly married man. “Just sit down on her hat. and she will tell you what she thinks of you in less than a mir ute.”—Chicago Journal. Ker Little Surprise. "Don't stop me now. dear. Archie’* going to propose In a few minutes.” “Has he shown ant symptoms?” “Certainly not! He doesn't know I* yet. I've arranged it as a surprise for him."—Brooklyn Life. There arc men who don’t mind being kicked blue if they can ouly be talked ■bout.—Eliot.

LOVE OF FIGHTING. ’ teems ti Be Inborn In the Average Human Heine, Wo arc all fond of fighting-that is, we all love to look at a light, and some of us like to be in a fight. But we all love to see one. There are some superaesthetic and hyper refined humans of both sexes who think they do not like to see a light. Some of them actually believe they are sincere. But deep down in tile average man and woman the love of tight exists. It Is ingrained; It is congenital; it is in the human baby. When he screams, squalls and kicks if bis will is thwarted, he is Ifthtlug. So with the same baby when, grown up into a boy. lie pulls bis little sister's hair. It is partly, perhaps, the love of fighting and partly, perhaps, the love of giving pain, for cruelty also seems to be part of the makeup of the human animal Aftw little brother has finished pulling little sister's hair and she has dried her eyes she soothes her wounded feelings by pulling off flies' wings or legs or pinching the cat's tail under a rocking chair. Os the higher flights of juvenile cruelty to which her brother rises when he ties two cats together by their tails over a clothesline, where they tight till nothing is left but their tail tips—of these familiar facts we will not speak. When brother goes to school and then to college, whether it be to the English ‘‘public' school or to the American ■‘public” school, resembling each other only in name; to the academy, to the preparatory school, to the university, he speedily becomes past master in cru elty. In most of these institutions he must fight. Hazing exists in every co 1 - lege in the country. Even the United States government cannot stamp it out at West Point and Annapolis. In both these institutions fist fights under prize ring rules are of almost daily occurrence. They are masterful battles, and they have not a little to do with making stout hearted, stalwart fighters of our army and navy officers. To those who object to these battles the unanswerable reply is that the boys are there to learn to fight and that the way to learn to fight is to fight.—San Fran cisco Argonaut.

TOLEDO BLADES. I’hone of Modern link* Not Compare able With the Ancient Onen. Toledo blades are still made in the government weapon factory, but thos* of modern production do uot compare with the ancient work. It seems to be a lost art. The genuine Toledo blades made by the Moors w ere so elastic and tough that they could be curled up like a watch spring. You can see them in the armory at Madrid, but only ordi nary swords and bayonets for the army are made there today. The secret seems to have been forgotten. The steel came from England. It is the same as is used for ordinary purposes, and. as in Japan, where the art reached an equal degree of superiority, th* difference in the product lay in the skill of the armorer and the process he I need. In the secondhand shops of Toledo i and of the bric-a-brac dealers you can buy old swords for reasonable price* but genuine ones, made before the sixteenth century, when the best were produced and the art began to decline, are very rare and are promptly picked up by connoisseurs whenever they are offered. The names of the old mak ers are as weil known as those of ti>» painters of great pictures, and a sword made by Nicholas or Dune or Don Isio or Correnties in the fourteenth and flf teentb centuries is worth several times Its weight in gold. Each armorer of Toledo In ancient times as in Japan, had his cipher,’ which is to be found on his blades, and there was ss much rivalry among them as there is tedr y among the opera sing-j ers. Julian del Rei, the most famous of the Moorish sword makers, always cut the figure of s dog on the blade* of his swords near the hilt, and Mot . rillo, who was also famous, used 1 wolf for his coat of arms. The swordmakers of Toledo had a guild for mu tual protection, but they worked sepu- ! ratr«y. Esch had his own secrets foi refitting and tempering steel, which h« concealed from his rivals, but transmitted to bis children, who inherdtM the business.—Chicago Record-Herald 1 E K. Shally, nf Borne, was a I oaller here last evening.
