The mid -summer meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial association wei. as u.»ual, a pleasant ar.d profitable gathering of those who labor in the field of journalism The sessions brought forth many things of mutual benefit and concern and in the end they accomplished much that will materially aid the individual editor in bis efforts to publish the best news paper on earth—or elsewhere. The papers and discussions upon this feature of the event, were all enjoyed by the fraternity, and the good points were carefully noted and filed away for future reference. Aside from this the social features alone are invaluable. To know toe editors of the different newspapers, to know their wives and families, is of itself of value. They are all the salt of the earth, a power for good in their respective communities, and it does one good lo meet them and to know them. French Lick Springs is a beautiful garden spot, among the scenic grandeur of Orange county. There you <an study nature and drink | Pluto to your heart’s content. The latter is no imitation, but the real thing. The writer knows, because he indulged too freely and one night in the wee sma’ hours he pud the penalty. Those few brief hoars seemed an eternity, and P.uto flowed in a beautiful stream in two directions at one and the same time. It was a grand picture of a man trying to save the pieces in a freight train wreck. But it i was the making of the critter, and Romeo ia himself again. The water is not undully advertised, and are certainly beneficial for many of the ills of the human family. Mr. Taggart, always a genial host, was at his beet at this time, and with Mrs Taggart made the hours and < days seem short indeed. His hotel. is one of the wonders of modern times, and even now is entertain ing between three and four hundred guests, they coming from all quarters of the globe. Mr. Taggart is now sole owner of the French Lick Springs Hotel Company. who own over eight hundred acres of land, and upon this land ' is raised most of the vegetables need at the hotel. Fifty of the finest Jersey cows furnish at least part of the butter, milk and cream, and in all it is an inviting place for either the well or afflicted. Dale J. Crittenberger of the An-1 derson News, delivered a fine address at the banquet, and paid many a glowing tribute to the I "Dem cratio Editor," who has truly b<en an influential factor in* Indiana history. His address was all facts and no fiction and wjg well delivered and as well received. Clay AV. Meteker, editor of the Plymouth Democrat, made a good speech and made it along the lines

that democratic laymen may safely follow. He epotot as a political patriot, and n<>t as the ordinary politician, who eternally and always ajieaks with his ear to the ground. He well said that oommon ground should be sought, as great and important questions demanded that patriotism and not factionalism should govern the future destinies <>f democracy. Hon. John W. Kern should carefully wrap up that sore toe and lay it away in cold storage. Ihe public and the people are not int- rested in the woes and wails of those who imagine they have a right to feel bitter toward everything and everybody. If the democratic party ever accomplish anything it will not be by bitter denunciation of men and issues, which they themselves assisted and bel|>ed to foster upon the party and the people Dissolution Notice.

A WOMAN WITH A WILL. , Tfcs War Jeeele Hartlaft Davl. Oser <nllec«.4 Her Sa>ar>. J.-aslr Bartlett Ds vis was a wotuno of indomitable will and with a stock of self cotiOdvnce b>>rt> of a iiealtbj outdoor life. When not engaged lt> theatrical life her entire time was de j voted to outdoor pursuits. Ou her , ranch in California she tamed and rode bronchos, herded cattle and sheep aut attended to her cbicketui with seual facility. Thia combined to make her I a good business woman nud with the i muscular activity to back It. Mrs. Davis once engaged to sing In a vaudeville company In New York : city. The malinger of the 'boater was famous for bis negligence in meeting demands of performers whom he bad engaged, and. In fact, ther- were ugly rumors about checks bearing his signature t>elug returned from the bank with the ominous words "No funds" written across their faces. At the conclusion of her week’s engagement Mrs. Davit received a . heck for her salary. That was Saturday night, and It was an <»j*n secret to everybody that she had engaged passage on a steamship leaving the following Wednesday for Europe. where she had planned to take a long rest. The proprietor of the Broadway hotel where she was stopping obligingly cashed the check, it was returned t» him Tuesday afternoon ns worthless. Mrs. Davis Ww>k l>aek the repudiated paper and smiled grimly. "I will make it all right this evening." she said. Armed with a stout cane she went to the manager’s office that evening, the stick serving as excuse for a limp due to a "slight sprain." she announced. The manager received her with evident embarrassment and listened to the story of the check told quietly and In moderate language. "It was a mistake on the part of bls bookkeeper." be explained. The stup'd fellow should bare known that the ; manager's account In that particular t bank had been cl-ned out hang ago I But if Mrs. Davis would wait a few I minutes bo would give her a check or i another bank wbicn would be honored without fail. But Mrs. Davis was not accepting checks. She was to leave for Loudon , the next morning and no'hing but the hard, cold cash would satisfy her. The j manager was obdurate and Mrs. Davis politely insistent. Then it developed | into a wordy war. and Mrs. Davis arose with the cane in hand. Handling ! It like a foil, she passed the ferrule lightly tbroug’i the glass door of the manager’s office. Another pass and the ferrule broke one of the window panes. The clatter of glass brought a half doxen employee* to the spot. The manager danced around as if on a hot stove and begged her to d--sist. The scandal, be said, would rain him. By way of reply Mrs. I*avis punctured another window. One of the employees, who was a relative of the manager, rushed forward to disarm her. The eane circled in the air. and the man retreated nursing a big welt across the buck of Lis head. * Tbe audience was just entering the theater and the crashing of glass caused many to stop and conjecture tbe cause. Mrs. Davis, smiling with tbe utmost good nature, moved to tbe other side of the office and gaxed critically at i the glass of a large picture—tbe mana I ger’s favorite j>ossesaion. "Stop:’ he almost shouted. “You| shall have your money." A messenger . was dispatched to tbe box office with ; an order. He returned in a few min- j utes with a huge roll of bills, which Mns. Davis carefully counted and stow- I ed away. Then, bidding tbe manager , a smiling good night, she swept out of I the office and to her hotel, where tbe bad check was redeemed and added to ; her collection of souvenirs of her ex ' periences on the stage. — New Y<rk Tress. KITH AND POINT. — A child Is always surprised that you | don't know the washerwoman at its house. When you throw a friend a bouquet, don’t throw It so he will catch the thorns in bis bands. Hope Is a progressive game. One’s children failing tc become famous, tbe hope progress-s to tbe grandchildren. It is easy for a woman to be polite; all she has to do is to smile, but s man has to smile and raise bis bat. Worrying about the future Is believing there will be gb >sts tomorrow, though you know there are none today. Parents are hard on their children when the children are young, and when when tbe parents are old tbe children are bard on tbe parents. — Atchison Globe. The Theoloaleal Labyrfntb. Stephen Essex, a Methodist minister, is the hero In "The Bishop's Niece." His state of mind after bls early wanderings In tbe theological labyrinth is thus described by tbe author, George H. Picard: At twenty-seven Stephen Essex bad not made a perfect recovery from the panic into which a premature discovery of tlie plan of salvation bad thrown him. He bad employed the remedies which are’ prescribed to heal our common moral Illnesses, but their abundance and variety as well as bls disposition to leave none untasted bad retarded bis convalescence. His present condition was that of one who, though realizing that he has baited, almost miraculously. Just inside Hie end of opportunity. Is still fearful of doing something which wi>l undo everything. Cultivate the Dlfficaicy* The way to get to tbe top is to cultivate the difficult. Tbe way to stay at the bottom is to cultivate that which almost anybody else similarly circumstanced can do as well.—Troy Press.
