A Paradox That Needs Explaining.

Democratic politicians and newspapers are now engaged in an effort to make the taxpayers of Indiana believe that the administration of the state has fulfilled the .ante-election promises of economy and almost every .paper picked up informs us that some department has accomplished a great saving and that the money has been turned back to the general fund although appropriated for use in some department At the same time comes the information that the state is so short of money that an advance call was made on all the county treasurers of the state for money, In order that the current expenses of the state might be met. In a report made last week by William H. Vollmer, treasurer of state, it was shown that there was only $52,512.58 in the general fund on Oct Ist As the general fund is that from which the running expenses of the state goverment are drawn, the treasury is in a rather serious condition. And thus is produced a paradox entirely beyond understanding. How ail the departments can be responsible for shrewd business economy and the treasury depleted at the same time will require a deal of explaining by the politicians and the newspapers. The democratic scheme to increase tax revenue by a big increase in the valuation of farm lands having failed, it is evident that there will be some rough sledding to meet expenses during the current fiscal year.

WAR DECLARED.

Catarrh Germs Must Be Conquered or Health Will Be Destroyed. If you have catarrh you must vanquish an army of persistent, destructive microbes before you can get rid ol it. You might as well choose your weapons, declare war and annihilate this army of catarrh germs right now. Stomach dosing won't kill them; neither will sprays or douches. HYOMEI, a pleasant, antiseptic, germ destroying air breathed over the entire membrane will put catarrh germs out of business in short order HYOMEI (pronounce it High-o-me) is guaranteed by B. F. Fendig to end catarrh, asthma, bronchitis, coughs colds and croup, or money back.

A Superior Attraction.

It has been announced that a dramatization of Marie Corelli's great story of the Norwegian hUls, ‘Thelma,” will be presented at the EJlis theatre Thursday evening. Sept. 12. Since this has become known the theatre goers have manifested much interest and we desire to congratulate them on such manifestation, for we are glad to know that they appreciate what is desirable in the theatrical line. There have been many dramatizations made, but the one that will be presented here has been made by Robert Sherman, a skillful playwright, who has constructed a drama of real interest from an incomparable book. While the author has kept within the bounds of the story, he has provided an abundance of comedy to conteract the highly dramatic scenes, and all are so happily blended that the result has been one of the best plays of tho times. While the story is written around the Northland and is always a favorite with the Swedes and Norwegians, it is none the less popular with all classes. It will be seen here Thursday, October 12. The company presenting it is claimed to be one of the very best on the road.

Rapped In Slumber.

Oklahoma Obituary.

George Cadue (pronounced Kedgel) hns passed to the happy hunting grounds and was buried last week on the reservation west of town. George was a real ornery Indian on general principles. In fact, there were few' on the reservation ns-mean and worthless as George. He was a young man, but had been married four times. It Is safe to say that be drank more different kinds of patent medicine when he couldn’t get booze than any other Indian on the reservation. He was a big husky fellow and a scrapper. He looked as if he might live fifty years longer, but pneumonia grabbed him in the prime of life. When pneumonia gets hold of an Indian it's goodby. Over seventy years ago a Frenchman named Cadue married a Ivlckapoo squaw. Faul Cadue, father of George, was a son. Paul Cadue is still living on the reservation and has the reputation of being the squarest and most thrifty Indian of his tribe. George got In the way of the white man early In life and was a dissolute character. He leaves children by about three different wives.—Horton (Okla.) Commercial.

A Possible Contingency

When James 8., Reynolds, now a member of the tariff board, was assistant secretary of tlie treasury Senator Root, then secretary of state, sept for Reynolds to discuss with him matters concerning a trade conference In Faris which Reynolds had been selected to attend. “By the way, Mr. Reynolds.” said Mr. Root, “you speak French, I presume?” “Oh. yes," Reynolds replied. “I have a little French. I can make the waiters and cab drivers understand me." “Urn!" said Root. “But, Mr. Reynolds, suppose there should be no waiters and cab drivers In the conference?"—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.

OUTDOOR COSTUMES.

Braid and Buttons Are Been on Moot of tho Now Models.

SMART OUTDOOR DRESS.

Careful study this picture will supply one with many bints in regard to what Is correct for the season's outdoor dress. For instance, the hat of straw Vrald and velvet has the side elaborations which are one of the new notes in millinery. The dainty stock is embroidered with the smart French knot, while the jal*ot is edged with venise lace. The coat, cut on the accepted straight lines, comes just a little below the hips and is profusely garnished with silk braid and very large buttons. The sailor style, supplemented with large revers. Is seen on the collar. The skirt recalls the models of five years ago with its paneled front and side plaits. The touches of satin and tbe large buttons bring it np to date. Suede shoes with rounded toes, a neat parasol matching tbe dress and white suede gloves complete this smart outfit. In nearly all the new suits the favored trimming is braid, especrally the wide braid, which sometimes forms the collar, cuffs and revers and trims tbe skirt as well. Panels of braid coming down tbe front and back of tbe jacket and continued In tbe same way on tbe skirt are distinctly the thing. Narrow braid is also very smart, especially when worked ont In ornamental designs on the skirt and coat A touch of color is added by oriental embroidery on tbe collar, sleeves, and revers. There Is merely a hint of this, and It is not allowed to become too prominent In tbe color scheme. Buttons are also very much In evidence, some of them of the same color as either tbe suit or tbe trimming or as both and some of them silver or gilt These latter are very small—quite tiny. In fact.

Edelweiss For Kongo.

A very charming custom has been Inaugurated In Belgium to honor the birthday of Queen Elizabeth. Her last anniversary was made “rose day,” and tbe sale of the queen’s birthday roses realized $20,000. which was given to the tuberculosis relief fund. The queen has now Issued a semiofficial proclamation In which she announces that it is her royal pleasure that on her next birthday the edelweiss shall be substituted for tbe rose and that all the money ra'sed from the sale of these blossoms shall be devoted to the fund for combating tbe sleeping sickness In the Kongo. One of the darkest stains on Leopold's reign was that known as the "Kongo atrocities.” One of the chief efforts .of King Albert Is to show an honest Intention to remove that stain. In this effort tbe queen plays a charming second.

Ribbon Lore.

Black and white striped ribbons shown In both velvet and taffeta, with black velvet stripes on a white taffeta ground. Black satin stripes are shown on white taffeta also. Faille ribbon Is being used much by milliners, especially In black and white combinations. Warp and Jacquard prints are also seen everywhere, most of all In the lighter colored patterns Fftslly black and white checked taf fetas are much In vogue In Paris. Sometimes the stripes running one way are In satin woven Into the taffeta. In other words, although not a great oum her <>f ribbons are *b own > those that we do have are beautiful and elaborate In weave and design.

SEARCHLIGHT RAYS.

The Effect When the Beams Penetrste a Foggy Atmosphere. I_.. _ Nearly everybody ia familiar with the beam of a searchlight and knows why the beam is visible, while light Itself cannot be seen unless it strikes the eye. Its visibility being doe to particles in the air which really do reflect the light to the eye. On a foggy night, if one wilj notice, the beam Seems to come abruptly to an end if the light is pointed upward. It does this Instead of gradually fading away into nothing, as it does pointed horizontally on a uniformly foggy night The thing Is rather puzzling to one first seeing it but the reason is not far to seek. Where the end of the beam seema to be there is the place the fog ends, for the beam cannot be visible to us unless there are small particles in its path. This is of great help to sailors in Judging of the state of the weather, for they can tell exactly bow thick the frog is. or. rather, bow deep it Is. They can also tell by throwing the light horizontally wbetber the fog Is universal or occurring only in patches, for if extending to a great distance the beam gradually gets dimmer and dimmer. but if in patches the beam is lighter in patches, and if it goes through a place with no fog at all that part of the beam is black or Invisible. —New York Tribune.

COFFEE AND TEA.

The Bean Improves With While the Leaf Deteriorates. ~ Coffee beans improve with age. Five year old coffee Is better thtin the new crop and fetches a higher price in the market. In two years coffee will lose 10 per cent in weight, but it will increase more than 10 per cent in price. Coffee should be used quickly after roasting. brown beans appear oily the oil should be dried off in a quick, hot oven; otherwise it will undergo a chemical change which will affect the flavor. While coffee beans dry with age. teas absorb moisture even when in zinc lined chests. Tea likewise deteriorates with age: It doesn’t lose strength so much as it does its drawing quality, which is another name for flavor or bouquet. So earefnl are the tea packers to insure an entire absence of moisture from the tea when being placed in the zinc or lead lined chests that they have the tea leaves sun dried and then heated before packing. The tea goes into the chests too hot to handle with hare bands and is sealed up in air tight packages before It has time to cool, and before the slightest suggestion of moisture reaches it.—New York World.

A Word For Sugar.

Pure candy is good for children: Pure sugar is good for grown people. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. If the doctor prescribes a diet and orders a patient to refrain from sweets the patient is bound to obey his adviser. Wbat is tbe use of calling a physician and paying him for suggestions if tbe latter are treated with Indifference? People in ordinary health need not be afraid to gratify an appetite which craves sweets* Those who have looked into the matter have been telling us lately that soldiers on the march bold out better if they have rations of sugar than if their food omits this useful commodity. A fondness for sugar is often a defense against the temptation to use alcoholic stimulants. The inebriate does not care very much about pure sweets.— Christian Herald.

The Age of Linen.

It is highly probable that tbe manufacture of linens is of greater antiquity than that of silk. Archaeologists generally admit that the mummy cloth of the most ancient dynasties was a variety of finest linen. The Egyptian and Jewish priests wore it at all their ceremonies. We find mention of fine linens all through the Old and New Testaments. When the queen of Sheba visited Solomon she was habited in linen. In Revelation tbe angels are clothed In “pure and white linen.’’ Genesis tells ns that Pharaoh arrayed Joseph In vestures of tine linen. Silk is mentioned In the Bible only four times.

The Mystic Seven.

A certain fond father sent his son to the University of Pennsylvania last fall. As a farewell piece of advice be told the young man that “bis success was almost assured, since both tbe word success and your name contain seven letters ’* The midyear examinations. however, proved to be his doom, and be was compelled to return home. “Well,” said his father, “didn't you keep in mind what I told you about the seven letters?” “I did that, father." answered the boy. “but you must remember that there are also seven letters In failure." —Philadelphia Times.

Money Panic.

“What was tbe worst money panic yon ever saw?" asked one financier of another. “The worst money panic I ever saw," was the reply, "was* when ■ fifty cent piece rolled under the seat of a street car and seven different men claimed it"—Exchange.

Tyranny.

There are few minds to which tyranny la not delightful. Power If nothing bat as it la felt, and the delight of superiority Is proportionate to the resistance overcome.—Johnson. Every production of genius mast be tbe production of enthusiasm.-Dis-raeli.

* ht THE FORCE OF HABIT

By C. ROBBINS ANDREWS

There was revolution in Mexico. General Alvarez was suspected by the president and closely watched. One day a visitor called at the general’s headquarters. “General,” said the visitor, taking a manuscript package from his pocket, "knowing your reputation as a man of literary taste, a critic of the highest order"— “Cut that out,” interrupted Alvarez. “I was once chief reader for a publishing house.” “I see. I have here a book of poems”— / “Poems of any kind are not available. We have a whole robm full of— Excuse me: the force of habit Is great. I was thinking I was back in the editorial sanctum.” “But these poems of mine,” contfhued the visitor, “I consider to be In that lighter vein which is the only kind of poetry now popular.” “tlave you tried the Mexican Popular Magazine?” “General,” replied the visitor Impressively vis ter a pause, “if you have been an editor I have been a contributor. Pm on to that honeyed fashion of getting rid of ‘an author.’ ” The general settled back in his chair as one bracing himself to hear an author’s reason why his experience is more valuable than other experiences. Those in the room went about their various duties. The visitor met the general’s eye and winked at him. The latter caught on. “These poems,” continued the man with the manuscript, “were composed during a period of deep feeling. The spring was coming on and naturfc was awakening.’’ ' “Yon can wake me when you get through,” yawned the general. “One word more. Tearful April, with its clouds and thin gilded linings, had passed into June, and the rbscs were unfolding their delicate petals.” The general closed his eyes. “I seized iny pen and yielding to the balmy”— The general snored. The visitor looked about him and. seeing that the others in the room were becoming Infected with the drowsiness that had fallen upon their chief, laid his manuscript on the table and silently withdrew. As soon as the door bad closed behind the author the general awoke. “Has he gone?” he asked with a shudder. “Yes, general.” Taking up the manuscript Alvarez remarked: “He has put his address on it, but I don’t see any stamps for its return. However, here’s a mem stating that he will call tomorrow." That night Alvarez took the manuscript home with him. He was not interested in the literary form, or in the meter of the verse. Even the divine afflatus, if it was there, failed to move him. -He puzzled for hours trying to find a key to a secret message. At last, by skipping all but every tenth word, be succeeded. He was invited to Join the revolutionists, carrying with him the force under his command. For so doing he was to be appointed minister of war. Having read all of the message he coaid find to read, and being satisfied that there was no more of it! he wrote his acceptance of the proposition and laid down his plan of operations by making a dot over the words required to make up his message. This done at daybreak, in the morning be went to bed. When the author came the next day for his manuscript the general said to him: “I am very much obliged to yon for your kind permission to read your beantifnl poems. I have not been ■truck so forcibly with the poetic fervor of any manuscript in many years. In these verses is the very sonl of poetry. But in”— “Never mind that.’’ said the author. “I have beard It a million times before. I know what you’re coming to.” “Oh, I forgot” replied the general. “I am not now in the position of a publisher: you wish simply my honest Individual literary opinion. Well, your poems are tommyrot. There is neither versification nor feeling nor thought in them. But I’ll make a suggestion, They are so bad that If you can make them a little worse and start a few of them In some publication intended to be popular, with a curious story about the author. I’m not sure but yon could get a big sum for them.” “Thank you, general, for your very practical advice.” The general threw the manuscript at the author, telling him to get out, and if he ever came again on anch a matter he would have him arrested and his poetic ambition cut off by the garrote. The young man caught the package and, departing, made his way to the commander of the Insurgent army. Laying the pages on a table, the message of General Alvarez was quickly deciphered. A tow days later at dawn the rebels moved on the government works and were joined by the troops of General Alvarez. The revolution was accomplished, and Alvarez vVas made minister of war, according to the agreement Later the deposed president asked the new one how be had managed to communicate with Alvarez. He was fliformed of the plan. The young man Who accomplished it was made a cabinet minister.
